Do I have a stop for you! Dare I say the best pizza I have eaten to date... I DARE! We tried the New Haven sausage and pepperoni. House made sausage, sauce and the dough. Absolutely delicious. Thin crust with a crispy bubbly edge. For appetizers we had the arancini which is a meat, Ragu, peas, rice, and mozzarella. Served with two different sauces (the vodka sauce is incredible), but there are other filling options. Let's call the secret menu. But personally, this one is a grand slam. The baked rigatoni amazing. I am obsessed with the sauce. And of course you must have the Chicago staple chicken vesuvio. So moist. Hands down everything we tried was delicious. They have three locations. This location offers delivery carry out Eden. You can also come in and just grab a slice. That's ready for you. read more

Vibe: N/A - ordered takeout Service: no complaints! Value: pretty good deal, especially for a lunch sammy Boston sub: I ordered the Boston sub - steak, cheese, mushrooms, and onions. It was filling and delicious! read more

East Coast style thin crust pizza (plain cheese is $6 and extra sauce is $1) that you can fold to eat the top of the pizza. It was a nostalgic feeling seeing the pizza bc it looked similar to the NY and Nj pizza I am used to. And the sauce was fresh and very good. It was made with real tomatoes and you can taste the chunks. The crust was a bit flat and dense and not chewy like the ny nj pa pizza has bc of the soft water aspect. Overall it fills you up w just 1 slice and it reminds me of nyc pizza and is tasty. Plenty of seat yourself seating and no wait staff which makes it easy bc you don't have to tip. Staff are welcoming. Street parking and it's $2.50/hour. Walk here or take CTA. read more

Paninos took my Sicilian (Chicago) deep dish pizza virginity and I liked it. I did get the wrong pizza but ya know what it worked out. Pretty easy to grab and go and pretty awesome to bring to the lake for a sunset picnic. Thanks guys read more

After not eating all day, this was a good place to grab a slice (or 2). I like their specialty pizza rotates every few weeks with the current one being an Italian beef slice! They have quite the variety in thin slices as well. The woodfire oven in the back really seals the deal for me. It smells great inside and instantly makes you hungry, but the workers are very friendly. The guy we spoke with said the Italian beef pizza was pretty popular and wasn't sure exactly when they'd take it off the menu. I'd revisit this place again to try their garlic knots, as they looked huuuuuge! I'd say this is a hidden gem because I always walk by this place on the way to the gym but never go in, but I'm glad I finally did. Delicious! read more

I have stopped by a few times on the take out counter side for a slice and they have always been consistent and delicious. They always have pre made and warmed slices, so you can just stop by and grab one. The fries were made fresh and took about 5 minutes. Overall a very quick and easy experience to stop by and grab some quick delicious food. I have never dined in the restaurant but might have to try it soon! read more

Panino's has one of best Neapolitan pizzas in all of Chicago, especially the slightly charred Rustica one. I always order this one because it's loaded with top quality ingredients, fresh mozzarella, cremini mushrooms, caramelized mushrooms, basil, and flavor-packed applewood smoked bacon. Best though to eat it there, because for one, it's right out of the oven and is piping hot, even though the dining room is somewhat cramped. It also fills up rather quickly, especially at night. The pizza crust won't leave you feeling heavy or bloated, it's surprisingly satisfying, enough to keep you full without weighing you down. My friend, who was trying it for the first time, even commented on how favorful, yet filling this pizza was. Also, I'd recommend pairing it with a crisp green salad, especially the one with the homemade garlic croutons! Winner winner, pizza dinner!! read more

if you like burnt pizza this is the place! Awful! I have returned two pizzas already!

It's average and I ate it. The crust is so-so: decent texture, but very bland. The toppings were average and sauce was tomatoey. It was hot and fresh. It looked like a thin crust pizza that wasn't quite thin enough, but crisp enough to pick up and eat. Very edible and yet lacking character: again, average. read more

5 of us dined at the Chgo. location 07/09/ pm. Our choices were very good. Should of been offered condiments from David. I bussed part of the table myself. Table top sticky/tacky. They were not that busy at the time we dined. Better for pick-up food orders. $57.67 for a small thin crust gluten-free veggie & a small deep-dish veg. No beverages. Yes, dropped $ in to the TIP can. Wanted cardboard for leftovers. They have the pizza cardboard boxes already. Nope. Only the styrofoam. Most restaurants are using eco-friendly togo containers. And not plastic bags, either. We've contacted this location per their web-site 3 times now. Without a response to date. David & guests. read more

Been by here a million times, probably looked at the reviews even more but couldn't quite pull the trigger. But fortunately for me, all the other places weren't delivering and this was close. We were super impressed! The artisan pizza was thin and crispy! And the pan pizza was incredible. It was slightly smaller than deep dish but had that awesome crusty edge and loads of pep and cheese. I would get this every time in the future especially if you're craving Pizza Hut style. They take PayPal and have the store very open and clean for pick up. There is still slices available which I may be back for. So good! read more

No matter how many times I have been to Panino's they have not disappointed me with the quality of their pizza. I first discovered Panino's when I first moved to Lakeview a few years ago. Everyone would rave about the pizza so I had to see what the hype was about. From the first moment I tried the pizza in 2015 to 2020 the quality doesn't seem to change. The inside of the restaurant isn't that fancy, it is a step above a hole in the wall pizza spot and set up to dine-in for small groups. The staff is always courteous and welcoming. The crowd definitely differs depending on the day of the week but they always keep a nice demeanor. When you walk in they will always have a decent selection of slices from the New York style slice to the Sicilian thick crust style slice. The slices are worth every penny, some times they will cut them massive and other times they are a modest slice. Either way, they are very filling and top notch quality. No matter if I order delivery or take out the pizza has never disappointed me. This is a most try place on the North Side. read more

I really like this local Pizza place, good pizza for my taste and great for a filling dinner with an ok price point. I've been going here for over a year and a half and have never had issues until recently. The cashier (who is not the one I usually see) tried to charge me $20 for a slice of thin crust pizza and a bottle of soda. And then when I asked about the price, tried to double down and then said he would make sure. Then he clicked around on the computer for 5 seconds and said the price was closer to $10. Really, really disappointing as I really like this place and would prefer to keep going back. If you go there, don't let them play games. If the price sounds wrong, call them out. I assume this particular cashier isn't used to people calling him out. read more

Honestly, it was very expensive and the pizza got to me by the second slice. I'll give them some credit though for daring to approximate New York-style pizza in Chicago. read more

We ordered pickup last night and I think this will be our new go to pizza place! We started with the grilled calamari and buffalina salad. The grilled calamari was so good, and so tender. It was amazing. The salad was also delicious. Mozzarella just melted in your mouth. For pizza, we ordered the Parma (Neapolitan) and the Grandma pizza. Both were just *chefs kiss. The Parma was fresh and perfectly cooked. The Grandma was enough to feed a small army, but the sauce-to-cheese-to-dough ratio was perfect. The crust had that perfect crunch, no soggy bottom, and was a life changing experience. 10/10, will definitely be coming back for dine in and carry out read more

Let's just skip the B.S and get right to the point: 1. People in Chicago clearly have no idea what good pizza is, as shown by the amount of positive reviews on this place. 2. People in Chicago are desparate for decent pizza of ANY KIND, so they'll allow clowns like the people at Panino's to charge them $6.37 per slice without question. Well guess what? I'm not from Chicago, I'm from Philly and New York. And I know the best pizza in this country. There's no slice on THIS ENTIRE PLANET worth $6.37. Idc about the pandemic, Idc about inflation. This place is a F****** disgrace for charging $6.37 for their subpar joke of a pizza. The dough is trash. The cheese is trash. The sauce is flavorless ketchup. You can hang your little meaningless awards on the wall all you want. Your hours suck, your customer service sucks, and it's about time someone with actual taste gave you a reality check. Oh, one more thing. Any restaurant with 900 items on their menu, is a complete joke. You are an embarrassment to italians everywhere. read more

The wood fire Italian pizza is the bomb. The crust is puffy slightly the way I like it when it comes out of a wood fire oven.

Everyone knows there are a wealth of options for pizza in Chicago but uhh... a lot of them are terrible! Thankfully, Panino's is not one of those and it's actually amazing! They have a variety of different pizza crust options-- my favorite is the Neapolitan style but that's just my personal preference anyway; their more traditional 'Chicago' offerings are both solid too! Don't sleep on the pastas or appetizers though-- it's a huge menu and everything is really tasty. I first discovered Panino's when my friends ordered delivery but it's across the street from a nearby bar where I play trivia. I often will grab dinner here beforehand because the food is so tasty. While they are obviously designed more for takeout and delivery business, there are a few tables as well as beer and drinks if you decide to eat there. Every employee I've interacted with there is really nice! I highly recommend Panino's! One of my favorite options for pizza on the north side! read more

We live in the neighborhood and have been hearing about this place. We were having dinner for 7 and the menu is pretty big so I called to order. The man who answered the phone was very helpful helping me understand the right amount of food to order. We had thin crust pizza and Sicilian style pizza as well as the garlic knots, Cesar salad, and caprese. All were VERY good. The only critique was that the garlic knots were a little dry. We will definitely order from here agin! read more

Their cheese and sausage pizza - well done is simply fantastic. I've always ordered from them for delivery but this was my first time actually going into the restaurant for a sit down meal. The service was fast and friendly and the pie was delicious. I asked for it to be a little crispy and was not disappointed. I loved the holiday decorations they had up (I posted a picture). What a great place to hang out on a Sunday. I'll come back again to dine in. read more

Order Panino's for delivery on a stormy Friday night. Ordered a 10" In Da Pan pizza with Ham, Sausage, and Goat Cheese. The delivery was right on time with the eta that was received when placing the order. The food: The pizza was top notch! Lots of toppings! They didn't skip on the ham or sausages at all. Also had a perfect amount of goat cheese. The crust was a little soggy from the delivery, but not to the point where is wasn't enjoyable. The bosco sticks were good. Fairly standard bosco sticks, with The marinara sauce which was delicious. read more

If I had the option to give them 3.5 stars, I would. 3 feels too harsh, but 4 is too generous. Got a slice of their Sicilian sausage deep dish, and ate in; the top of the slice was great. Nice and cheesy, and the sausage was good. However, I felt it was pretty expensive for a single slice, and it was a little doughy on the bottom. That happens sometimes with deep dish; it wasn't terrible, just not what I expected for the money. It was within walking distance of my hotel in Wrigleyville, so I'm sure the price has a lot to do with the tourist-y area. The other side of that coin is that in those areas you have a lot of options, so I'll probably try somewhere else next time I'm in town. read more

Best Pizza in Chicago. I dont want to let the secret out but with Panino's you can really taste the difference. I tried a competitor nearby and their sauce tastes like spaghetti-O sauce. Panino's is always on point and fresh. And I cant leave a review without mentioning the arancini. So good. I miss coming for lunch but its worth the wait till 4pm when they open. read more

So I previously reviewed this place when it was a sit down with counter service on the other side and it was quite good and I was impressed. The food is still good here. What is not good here is that they make you pay for water. I'm pretty sure this is both illegal and is just not a good business practice when you are in such a prominent area with such intense foot traffic. I used to be able to either grab and go or eat something quick. It would be one thing if there was no seating in this place... but there is. read more

One of my favorite places in Lakeview. Their thin crust pizza is incredible. Would highly recommend a trip soon!

Love the very very large range of Italian foods you can choose from. They have normal and deep dish pizza which is nice. The normal pizza was just okay and nothing special. They also have tons of salads, meat dishes, and pastas. We tried the baked rigitoni and stuffed shells as well which were boh good and very big portions. They also came with a piece of bread. The prices were okay between 12 and 20$. They also have some delicious looking desserts and gelato which i hope to try next time. read more

I ordered based on the reviews and when the pizza arrived it was good but the cheese was way too salty and it was way too greasy. I ordered the thin crust but I expected it to be crispy crust.

I love this place, especially the original restaurant, which I believe won a major award the year it opened. The remodel did not bring back the same amazing menu or obiance, however have ordered for delivery very many times, aill amazing.
