    Mediterranean Pi
    Meryl F.

    Pi-Hi Cafe has great selection of Mediterranean food at affordable prices. The menu has a wide variety of dishes to choose from Mediterranean pizza, pitas, salads, and vegetarian selection. We've ordered here a few times and the Mediterranean Pizza Pi is a favorite. It's crispy, delicious, and love the addition of shawarma on a pizza. I usually also order falafel as a side but not the biggest fan of the Tahini sauce. This is near Lane-Tech High school where they have specials specifically for students. The service is always prompt, we've always been able to pickup our order in less than 30 minutes. I recommend online ordering, it's fast and seamless.

    Came back after some months had past. Everything was still the same and still delicious. I decided to give the falafel plate another chance and this time flavor was so much better. We also tried the chicken shawarma. It was juicy and full of flavor. The service is still a little slow, but food is totally worth it.

    Not the quality of food I would expect from a Mediterranean restaurant. Maybe their pizza is better but I will not be returning to find out.

    Totally unassuming. Totally delicious. Order a shawarma pizza, and thank me later. Also make sure to get the spicy hummus. It's worth the extra 50 cents. The pita was really toasty hot and soft and the hummus was really something. This place is in a strip mall but don't let that put you off. They are putting out some really banging food. The staff all seemed really nice. And it's neat that you get to see right into the pizza oven. I don't have much more to say about this place other than I would order from here weekly if I could.

    I placed my order over the phone for pick up and the staff was extremely friendly . When I came in to pick it up the shop is really small but has a few tables to sit at if you're planning to eat in. I ordered the Mediterranean pizza, hummus, and falafel . The pizza was interesting ! Definitely had a gyro taste to it. The crust was cooked well and I'm sure the other pizzas are good as well. The pizza was enough for two people and we probably could have done without the falafel in order to satisfy our hunger. The hummus and falafel are your typical dishes , flavored well- nothing special . Definitely a good bang for your buck and worth going to !

    Overall: If you are looking for a fast and super casual lunch or dinner option, definitely grab some falafel at Pi-Hi. The good: I'd guess to say this is probably the best falafel in the area. Not the best in the city by any means, but it's pretty freakin' good and comes out hot. The pitas that we got were stuffed to the brim (one broke) with hummus and veggies, and the sauces provided were creamy and spicy respectively. The portion sizes were filling and not too overwhelming, the menu is well-varied, and the prices are fitting for the quality and size you get. The not-so-good: While the food was hot and fresh, it did take quite a bit to come out. For a "fast casual" experience, we were there for probably 40 minutes total. The atmosphere is lacking, with an absence of decoration, theme, and overall cleanliness. Not enough to sway you away per say, but it's not necessarily welcoming either. The cashier wasn't very conversational. Atmosphere: 7.5/10 Service: 7.5/10 Food: 9/10

    Yum!

    UPDATE: this pizza is still consistently amazing- quality of food and service is always awesome! HOW HAVE I LIVED A MINUTE WALK AWAY FROM THIS PLACE AND I ONLY JUST ATE HERE?!?!?!? I've walked past this place a million times, and assumed it was just Mediterranean food. It is Mediterranean food, but they also have a wood fire oven for PIZZA! How on earth I missed this I have no idea. I don't like gyros or other Mediterranean food so I never bothered coming in here. The pizza is freaking amazing, as is the service. They are massive pizzas and they use fresh mozzarella (!!!) The lady at the front counter was so friendly and wonderful. This will be my go to pizza place for sure.

    Pi-Hi Cafe is Mediteranean Restaurant on the east side of Western Ave across the street from Lane Tech High School in a tiny little strip mall. I'm always looking for something new especially Mediteranean food. Pi-Hi has a small dimly lit dining area. They serve a variety of Mediteranean dishes and oven baked pizzas that look very good. The owner was super friendly telling me a little about various options they serve. I'm not sure why, but tonight I chose a vegetarian dish that came w/4 falafel, baba ganoush, hummus, tabouleh, dolmas & salad. The falafel was delicious seasoned w/Garlic, The baba ganoush was also delicious (but a little too salty for my taste), the hummus was ok and the dolmas was also very good but a little too salty. They also have 3 their own sauces, a hot sauce, tahini & a Garlic tahini (my favorite). Overall it was a pretty good meal. I would like to come back and try some of their other dishes like the chicken shawarma and maybe one of the oven baked pizzas. They looked delicious.

    Falafel Sandwich
    Nic J.

    Ordered Baba Ganoush, cheese pizza, fries, a falafel sandwich, and spicy hummus for delivery. Came so quick and the food is all SO GOOD. I'm so impressed with everything, I stopped eating just to write this review. I'm really bummed I'm discovering this place right before I move out of the area!

    Sweet potato fries
    Evie H.

    It's really convenient for me to stop by Pi-Hi to grab food and since I love Mediterranean, I'm happy that it's so close by. The chicken shwarmma is fairly good so I tend to get a plate of that or sometimes the combo chicken which also comes with kebobs. The hummus is delicious and since most Mediterranean places don't include hummus in their meals, it's a really good bonus! On the other hand, the rice is rather plain though - it's missing some spices that could take it to another level. Also, the garlic sauce that I opted for on the side did not taste like garlic at all! Falafels - does not compare to Pita Inn...I am a strict believer that Pita Inn has the best falafels in the world so I was dying to try the falafels here given that some reviews have noted that the two are similar. Nope! Sorry, but Pita Inn still trumps all. It's not bad here but it's just not comparable. Sweet potato fries - Hm...what to say. Definitely not the best sweet potato fries I've had. It could be a bit crispier and less burnt on the edges though with more flavoring that actually sticks to the fries. Dolma - fairly cheap. You get 6 small ones for $2. I wish there was more stuffing to fill out the grape leaves. Pi-Hi didn't live up to its amazing reviews for me in terms of their Mediterranean food but I do plan on trying their pizzas and paninis later.

    Avocado Panini
    Alexa S.

    Came here for Lunch today and had a very delicious avocado panini! Was light yet very filling, the bread was amazing! I have known about this place for years, I absolutely love their wood fire pizza, so I'd definitely recommend that if you're in a pizza mood. The fries are delicious and crunchy. However I found the sauces (Tahini and garlic Tahini) to be watered down and lacking in flavor, but the tzatziki sauce was amazing! The falafel was perfect, it had the crunch on the outside but was moist and soft inside. The food was ready on time and the prices are reasonable.

A slice is a lot but it's so good that you end up eating more. You can also reserve via Tock, but beware that the normal dinner time can be booked out early! We got seated immediately upon check-in and service was nice and fast! Definitely prefer the deep dish over the thin here. My party just wanted to try the thin here as well since we've tried deep dish and like it.The wings were a little small (some pieces) but fried crispy and nicely with good buffalo and barbecue flavor. Until next time!

Due…read moreto all the hype I've heard and read for a couple years about Pequod's in Lincoln Park, we took them there. We still prefer Lou Malnati's, hands down. Hubby & I shared a salad... I make better salads and dressings! We ordered a large pan pizza which was overly salty with burnt crust edges. The cheese and tomato sauce were really good, but the saltiness killed it for me. The place was packed and very noisy. Not sure if it was quieter on the second floor. When you have lots of customers, it's important to have a system of checking the status of the restrooms very often. They were quite neglected. We often have out-of-town and foreign guests to host and show off our city to. We always include a deep dish pizza meal for their experience, and usually at Lou Malnati's. Always a great experience, especially the branch in downtown Naperville- consistently good. And Lou's really makes the best salad than anywhere! Sometimes for a potluck contribution I just pick up a Lou's salad, guaranteed to make everyone happy. However, our guests enjoyed the pizza and dessert; thus, I can give 3 stars for our experience at Pequod's.

    Excellent service. Bar seating…read moreTable seating. 3 TV where they show sports. They showrd world cup games. Monday - $1 chicken wings. The wings are double fried but the meat stays moist. Big bang buffalo- standard buffalo. Can't go wrong. Hot honey- pretty good, honey flavor, some sweetness Garlic galaxy glaze- this is really good if you like garlic flavor. I would get this again. Bayou in the sky- super super good. I would get this again. Hint of spice, hint of sweet. Carolina bbq- tasted like straight deli mustard. I would pass. The pizza, even though they advertise Detroit Style pizza, their take is more like Focaccia style pizza. They provide nice crunch, not enough sauce. Pretty airy dough. Drooling mushroom- they offer lots of mushrooms on top but the rest of the pizza was not too great. Next time, I would get Ham Radio- pepperoni, bacon, sausage, got and sweet pepper.

That's at the tone for what became unforgettable night. Had the space debri salad which is basically a Greek salad with potatoes and I think in Italian vinaigrette Soooooooooooo for it!!! So delicious After getting it, my buddy had to get one too haha One of us had the moonwalk cheese, we go out for a lot of pizza together, and he said it was he thought his favorite of anywhere. Another one of our crew got the pepperoni pile up loved. And I got the sweet and salty space candy pizza With bacon, pineapple, pickled red onion, goat cheese, sambal. Genius, the goat cheese, instead of ricotta was the move for this pizza! All the flavors worked in perfect harmony.Nothing short of amazing. Cozy spot, super cool atmosphere, couple of old school arcade games like ninja Turtles let's goooo We had so much fun. The drinks were absolutely excellent as well. Oh my God cannot forget this drink program. Galactic gift basket and Jedi mind trick sooo fire. Speaking of perfect harmony, everything at sharpies coexist in a lovely harmony from the all the staff, to the vibe/ambiance and absolutely killer pizza and food. WILL BE BACK! Check em out!
