    Tax evasion

    Worst pizza ever! They use all salt to season plus add more salt after it comes out the oven. Pizza burnt with clumps of grude that looks like black coals. Washroom didn't have soap so impossible for workers to wash hands before returning to work. Rodent dropping in dining area and washroom. Toilet stopped up. Restaurant response to burnt food was " well we're busy". Wrong response. This place doesn't deserve to be in business. IRS, building inspector, food sanitation, come investigate this place. The receipt is giving tax falsification, the plumbing and structure is failing, the rodent droppings clearly indicates infestation. This place is less than one star

    Great pizza! Made to order, fresh pizza indeed! We sat down and dined in. It was nice and old school to do that. They had a lot of traffic that ordered to go but it was cool to sit. More people did stay and sit. Service was good. It's old school pizza vibes and we liked that! Free parking which is nice too!

    It's been a while since I've been to Phil's bc we don't live around the area but because we came to opening day for the Sox, it was a must!! The service is great! The food is phenomenal and the people here are on it. Love the ambience here. It's never a dull moment - a happy crowd and a happy workers and staff working non-stop making great delicious pizza!!

    This pizza place is the place to go. I love it! I usually get a medium pepperoni with extra sauce and well done and a side of fries. It's usually really good but this time my pizza was very salty. They stacked the pepperonis together so it was a little much. The fries were amazing as always! I will return because I usually order from here. It could have just been an off day today.

    I left in earlier review but I had to include the picture! Only 1/3 was salvageable.

    I still like the flavor, I have been dying there my entire life (40y.o. BTW) and have never had this experience. The pizza was simply burnt! A third of it was the only thing not completely black char on the bottom.

    Sausage giardiniera medium pizza
    A.J. P.

    Holy Cannoli!!! Incredible pizza. Got a sausage giardiniera and a pepperoni onion. The quality of all ingredients was top tier. Maybe the best sausage I've had on pizza. The pepperoni was so much better than other pep and the onions sliced super thin. The crust was delectable. It's pretty dense - 2 of us didn't come close to finishing two mediums. Garlic bread was outrageously good too. Staff was really nice. Most of the other people were waiting for takeout but we enjoyed eating there very much and can't wait to go back. Wow!!

    Pepperoni & cheese.. so good!

    Nice old school pizza parlor!!! Food was great, we had garlic bread and a medium pepperoni pizza. Service was super fast!

    This family owned pizza spot definitely keeps it authentic and simple when it comes to pizza. Serving the local community, they do well to keep the menu the same and the prices fairly accommodating. My boyfriend and I grabbed a large Phil's Special without onions for dinner and we enjoyed it. As a first time customer, I like the flavor of the sausage and the sizing but I felt the crust was too thick for a thin crust pizza; felt like a regular crust. And it was a smidge too dry - I think the thickness of the crust comparing to the amount of ingredients on top wasn't good. The sauce is good for sure. For the price we paid, I enjoyed eating this pizza and would return to try another pizza.

    Tasty tavern style pizza. Little neighborhood spot that does a huge amount of takeout orders. I'm a big fan of the special that comes with sausage, onions, mushrooms, and green pepper. When it comes in the bag you know it's gonna be good!

We ordered the pepperoni deep dish and the pepperoni tavern style. The deep dish arrives in a cast iron pan, featuring caramelized crust that edges on burnt for a perfect, crispy crunch. The base is thick and doughy, layered with some mozzarella, a tasty sauce, and slightly charred pepperoni. The tavern style provides a nice contrast. Served cut into squares, it has a solid thin crust that holds up nicely under some melted cheese and loads of flat pepperoni. This remains my absolute favorite deep dish in Chicago, and I go anytime I'm in town visiting. Pro tip: Make a reservation well in advance because walk-in wait times get incredibly long.

    Please be warned that on a warm and humid day in Chicago Pequod had no AC for being seated inside!…read moreI was sweating while having this pizza lol. I had high expectations for this place but it was honestly underwhelming. The pizza had too much cheese, extra costs for adding toppings, and the crust was nothing memorable. Appetizers were good. My group shared jalapeño poppers and the chicken bites, good sized portion chicken and both came with sauce without asking so that was nice. Overall, I really wanted to like this place but it wasn't there as a tourist who's had pizza from different parts in the US. It was a nice try as a first and last time.

However we arrived earlier than scheduled and we ended up getting settled at our hotel so we walked and went in early. We arrived at 4pm and they let us in - was perfect because it wasn't busy. It's my son's first visit to Chi-town so I think this is a good first meal. We got the Chicago meatballs so we can eat something as the deep dish pizza takes 30 mins. The meatballs are flavorful and filled us up until we get our pizza. We picked the Malnati's Chicago classic - medium. The butter crust is really good and the cheese to meet ratio is balanced. While it is deep dish - it didn't feel like it's super thick, I think the butter crust was the difference. It was quiet when we arrived and we were seated in the dining area by the back in the ground level. There was only 1 group and another couple when we arrived so it wasn't loud. I'm sure when it's peak hours it'll be more festive and busy. Great first meal - order some starters if you're hungry. Medium was quite big for 2 people but good if you want to have some slices to-go.

Maybe I am not a big fan of Chicago style pizza. I do know whatever pizza I had wasn't very good. The dough was not done through the middle. So bites of it was filled with raw dough. We had olives, and those taste very tinny - Like a strong metallic taste. Our other friend got an Italian beef sandwich that also wasn't very good. Kind of a tourist trap, is you ask me.

Tavern Style Pepperoni (4.75/5): Crust is super crunchy and the tomato sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Pepperoni was uber savory and salty with a good crisp on em. Texturally, everything about this was perfect and you can just tell all the ingredients used were high quality. Mozzarella Sticks (4.5/5): Picture perfect mozzarella sticks. Insane crunch with a good amount of salt on the outside and melty, stretchy cheese when it hits your table. As with the pizza, the tomato in the marinara sauce really shines through.
