Carnivore: Paulie's Prohibited Pepperoni
Meia S.

Man! Let me tell you! Idk how many times I've passed this place and never went in. Thankfully , it was on my birthday and we were in the area and one of my girls decided that we go in for some pizza! There is something for everyone and I love me some Detroit style pizza with a burnt crust! Drooling!! Not only is there pizza mouthwatering but idk where they get their cake from (yes, it's still on my mind) it was a cake that you dream about. The frosting wasn't sweet and had a maple flavor. Omg it was just on point!! Great place to go with a group of friends or date night!

The Detroit pizza is amazing here. Service not so much. We came as a big group of 8 and got seated pretty quickly. The first question we got asked was do we have a reservation when the first thing on the website says no reservations. So a little confusing. We got seated with cups and plates and took about 15 mins to get water. We were quick to get our orders in and good thing because our waitress didn't come back till after our food was served. Everyone's favorite was the cup winner Detroit pizza. The wood fire was not that great. They do serve alcohol and mocktails (this pregnant mama to be was excited). Although the mocktail I got was a little too sweet. I've heard another location serves by HUGE slices. Kind of excited to check that place out!

Very very good. I had a gluten free detroit style pie and it was delicious. I had a lot to take home and eat for a few days but that was okay. I am NCGS and I didn't have a reaction although I often do at pizza places bc of the flour everywhere. I'd do it again for sure. I love the seasonal options. Staff were friendly and happy to recommend options.

This spot serves the BEST pizza and cake while simultaneously having the WORST service I've ever experienced. To make matters worse, they automatically force you to pay a 20% tip. It is because of this that staff can treat you however they want because they know they're getting paid. Let's start with the good. The Logan Squares (Detroit-style pizza) is out of this world. The pizzas are on the expensive side for the quantity, but the flavor is excellent. I got the funghi pizza that was a lot of different cheese and mushroom. I added a side of Mike's hot honey to drizzle on the pizza. The flavors were incredible with heavy umami from the mushrooms and cheeses. The hot honey added a much needed sweetness and subtle heat to cut through the rich, heavy flavors of the pizza. Paired with a non-alcoholic beer, this was excellent. They also had a dense strawberry shortcake with an incredible buttercream frosting that was mind blowing! It was so so delicious, sweet, and tasted surprisingly fresh with real strawberries. Now for the bad. Like I mentioned at the start, service is abysmal. It first took 15 minutes for a waiter to come to the table to take drink orders. The drinks are just canned, but it took another 15 minutes to bring that out with a relatively empty restaurant. Then, the waiters never checked on me to bring more water or anything. They even brought a wrong pizza, put it on my table, and then I had to tell them it was not mine. They then went and took it to another table. This is an issue as a restaurant should immediately take it back and bring out a new pizza to the correct table instead of taking it off of ours to give to someone else. Also FYI, they can't modify any toppings on the Detroit style pizzas as those come premade (the restaurant just bakes them). Service was just poor throughout the meal with no one checking to refill drinks or anything. At this point I was frankly offended that they force a 20% tip for this service. I would normally be happy with giving 20-25% for good service, but this spot did not come anywhere close to that. If you're looking for good food but to be treated horribly by staff and forced to pay a large tip, come here!

Gluten free pizza with vegan cheese!
Katie G.

I have a gluten allergy and I'm lactose intolerant which usually won't allow me to eat pizza. However, here I was able to order a gluten free Detroit style pizza with vegan cheese! It wad the absolute best pizza I've had in years! I'm only taking off one star because the service is very slow despite not being very busy. Also, I know the pizza is wood fired and it's an open kitchen but a few fans would make a huge difference. There was only one small fan at the host stand. Other than that it was incredible and I will definitely be back!!!!!!

Insanely good pizza and awesome gluten-free options. Detroit style is really hard to come by in Chicago and this place was amazing. I would highly recommend getting the "pizza award" pizza and I already want to go back. 10/10 The service was mid, but what can you do

Straight up Manhattan

Seven of us came for dinner on a weeknight. Service was very professional. It was interesting that they had both Neapolitan and Detroit style pizzas. All were flavorful, with the Detroit style being quite heavy with dough. The salads were fresh - we had the Gates of Eden and it was tasty and a fairly good value at $12. Other spots nearby would be at least $14 or more for the same size. We had the Hellboy Pizza which was a little sweet and spicy however we should have asked for it to be cooked really well done as it was a bit too soft and mushy. Others ordered the Fungivore and the Pepperoni - both good however they had too much dough to topping for our tastes. The bartender makes a great Manhattan. If we returned we would order the Neapolitan style wood fired pizza really well done and try some slightly more adventurous flavor combos.

Food: good Detroit style pizza, interesting seasonal flavors Service: everyone was super friendly Ambiance: cozy but gets loud

Margarita pizza and USA cup winner pizza

Wonderful place, the only affordable place we found that didn't try to upsell on everything. The server was fantastic, personable and down to earth. The owner came and shook our hands and asked what we are in town for and made our days. The pizza was very good, I recommend a margarita pizza. During happy hour only $10 a pizza. Would come back for sure. I haven't had service like this in a while. Chicago could really learn a lot from this place.

The Detroit-style pizza here was SO GOOD. We are from Detroit so are picky about it! The wood fired pizza we tried was good also. Service was fast and attentive. The spot is pretty casual and there was no wait for lunch.

Paulie gee's was delicious. It wasn't quite what I thought of with deep dish pizza because somehow it was light and fluffy. It was really tasty. We tried a huge variety of pizzas (even one that was inspired by thanksgiving dishes on top???) and they were all really tasty. The cheese crust is what I think people *think* pequods is doing (yummy crispy cheese) but without being burnt. Deff recommend checking out Paulie Gee's to fulfill your meaty cheese and fluffy bread cravings.

We had a lot of really interesting pizzas at Paulie Gee's and I would recommend all of them--they were all delicious. Our favorite was the quietly special: it's always bean you (really surprising, wasn't expecting to love a pizza with white bean puree). Desserts were good and the service was nice and the pizzas came out in rounds so our table was never overwhelmed with pies. Great place to come for a special pizza experience!

The US Pizza Cup Winner: Delicious Detroit-style pizza - Love everything about this!
Clark S.

Paulie Gee's in Logan Square was my first Detroit-style pizza I ever had and I fell in love, I knew that if I were in Chicago again, I have to make it back to Paulie Gee's for another Detroit-style pizza. Here I am, over five years later and I finally made it back and I am so happy to say the experience is still as great as I remember! We found a street parking spot across the street around 4:15pm on a Sunday and were immediately seated. The inside is pretty large and offers a great view of their pizza ovens. Our waiter was a young gentleman, very accommodating and friendly. He brought over a pitcher of water and drink/food menus. Each of us ordered a beer and sipped while perusing the menu. I knew exactly what I wanted so it did not take me long to decide. Haha At this point, I can copy/paste my review from 2019, almost completely verbatim about my order. I ordered The US Pizza Cup Winner from the "Logan Squares, Detroit-Inspired" menu section. This bad boy was topped with cheddar, mozzarella, pepperoni cups, bacon jam, red sauce, basil, Mike's Hot Honey, and each square was topped off with a dollop of ricotta. I love Buffalo-style pizza and always will, but this pizza, was among one of the best I think I've ever had! The crust was cooked to crispy perfection and had an amazing chew and texture. The cheeses blended with the other toppings and the honey brought a twinge of sweetness and heat, while the ricotta countered that heat brilliantly. The size of the pizza was perfect too. This and a beer were the perfect amount to fill me up, but I could not say no to a slice of cookies and cream cake from Pie, Pie My Darling. The price for all of this was in-line with many of my favorite pizza places in Buffalo. I am so glad I had another great experience at Paulie Gee's, even after five years! Happy to say the excellent customer service and quality pizza have stayed the same. I look forward to coming back, hopefully it will not take me five years. haha

Are there gluten free option?

They have a gluten-free pizza crust.

How is parking in the area?

Metered along Milwaukee until 12am and I believe free parking on Sacramento and some of the other side streets a short walk away. Can be hit or miss but noticeably more challenging as of late. If you don't mind walking a block or two, I usually have… 

Is the food halal?

We do carry hala beef pepperoni which can be subbed on any pizza we have available that already uses pepperoni! Just let your server know!

How large are the pies? Trying to confirm how many to order for 5 people

The woodfired pizzas are about 11.5 inches in diameter, but very thin. Typically one adult can eat one woodfired on their own. The Detroit style pizza is 8x10 inches, and feed about 1.5 adults. If you're looking for a more affordable option,… 

Do any of your pizza options use Soy, Vegetable, or Canola Oil in the ingredients?

Some of our pizzas use soy, vegetable, or canola oil. Our base dough, mozzarella, and tomato sauce do NOT use any of these ingredients, however some of our special toppings do. Please ask your server and we can clarify!

What is in the Gluten Free crust? My wife can tolerate some gluten substitutes but not others. Would love to be able to order her a pizza :)

We use Caputo GF flour as the base of the crust. It's a blend of rice and potato starch.

Any way to get the Franco Pepe again.... my gosh that was an amazing pizza?

Hey Todd! Thanks for the compliment! Given the current condition of delivery and take out asking with cold weather, we won't be able to offer the Franco Pepe until dine in resumes. The basil dollops just won't hold up well to a reheat, and you… 

Why can't I order a gluten free crust, vegan cheese, and real pepperoni pizza on Door Dash?

Unfortunately, DoorDash charges too much for us to make the vegan cheese and GF dough available for delivery, and we're not looking to raise prices just for these items to what we feel are unreasonable prices. You should be able to order this for… 

Do you deliver NY style slices or only available at the store-front?

We are not currently allowing delivery of NY style pizzas right now. Stay tuned, as we hope to change this soon!

Are vegan pizzas with a GF crust an option? :)

We do have vegan pizzas with gluten friendly crust! It has to be a Detroit inspired Logan Square (the only GF crust we have) and then it'll need to be either our vegan Carnivore (housemade vegan pepperoni) or vegan Cheesavore. We try to have an… 

Do you take efforts to prevent cross contamination for your gluten free pizzas?

We do! We only offer gluten friendly pizzas in our Detroit inspired Logan Squares, and have separate pans, tools, cutting boards, cutting areas, etc. for these particular pizzas. Because it cooks in it's only separate pan that's designated only… 

Is all pizza vegan? Thank's

No. You must request a vegan pizza. They do have the most amazing vegan desserts from Pie, Pie My… 

How long is the wait on Saturdays?

It depends a lot on what time you come and how big the group is. Right when we open up until about 6:00 PM, there's no wait typically for groups of 4 or smaller. As we hit around 7:00 PM, we start getting into a 30 min to 1 hr wait, and then it… 

Do they have any GF pizza options?

We do have gluten free pizzas every night now! We've been working on our gluten free recipe for Logan Square (pan pizza) for quite some time, and are now available every night we're open!

Yet, the bartenders greet us with such a warm and friendly energy that I know with absolute certainly that I have been a regular at this bar for years. Decades. Centuries. I know within my soul that this was my go-to bar in a past life (and hopefully in the next). Just as welcoming as the awesome people are the $1 PBRs and $3 shots of tequila. And of course they hand out free hot dogs every night at midnight, which in my (intoxicated) mind was cemented as the definitive Chicago dog, even if it comes with no toppings whatsoever. And fittingly complementing the amazing energy of the bar is a 10 hour Youtube video of that memed Ukrainian kid dancing at a club playing endlessly on the TVs. Rocking sunglasses and looking like a stud, absolutely grooving without a single care in the world, and effortlessly matching every single song on the bar's playlist. That kid truly embodies the spirit of this bar. No matter what day it is, what time of day it is, or who visits, the bar's energy always works. Vibing to Black Eyed Peas on a Monday night never felt better. Imma be... back one day, rest assured. I genuinely can't wait for the next time I'm greeted with, "Welcome back."

We were seated in the area closer to the bar/cafe vibe which felt a bit segmented from the rest of the restaurant. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable. We started with two appetizers - the porchetta di testa and cabbage with beef tongue. The beef tongue was tender, and the porchetta was perfectly sliced. We got two pastas - the cavatelli and pierogi. The pasta dough was excellent! Great al dente cooking. I could really taste the ingredients in each dish - I was curious about what the beer in pierogis sauce would do for the flavor and it was very nice! We noticed For drinks we got the mushroom sour and the fennel herb soda. The herb soda had a strong vinegary taste that overpowered the drink, so we couldn't finish it. The mushroom sour was very unique! A flavor I can't describe other than a salty umami you definitely have to try. If the pastas were less salty and the pop was less vinegary this would have been a 5!
