Sad, sad, pizza. It's basically bread and cheese minus no pizza sauce. After the 10 minutes of pizza getting cold, the cheese becomes hard and you can tell it's not quality mozzarella cheese. This pizza is not appealing at all. read more

Beware if you're going to order a double dough pizza, it'll be all bread and a thin layer of sauce and cheese. Ordered an 18in double dough and received the double dough as a triple or quadruple dough. All bread. I also order a small "thin" cheese pizza. Received a small double dough cheese pizza. All bread, with a thin layer of sauce and cheese. Spend $60 for just bread. I called to let them know the situation, and they told me to order EXTRA thin next time, that they couldn't do anything and the pizza are always made this way. I never asked them for anything for free or to send me new pizza, just to let them know, pizzas aren't made that way. Who sells all bread. Is not bread sticks, is a pizza. read more

tried some spicy peach wings and they were so big and juicy and had so much sauce, I love! will b back.

This place has always been great since they sell slices. Pizza has never disappointed. Family own, service is ok. It's been a while since I visit here but now their receipt shows two prices if you pay cash vs credit card. read more

PSA.....buyer beware. Don't do what I did - not bother looking at prices. 2 slices was $10. No fries no drink. Man, when did slices go up to 5 each? I'm making sure to look at menu next time. read more

I still hold my word on this pizzeria being the best! I've tried many to try to replace since it's a 35 min commute and still can't find anything. Hands down best local non chained pizzeria!! Every time we visit family in the area it's a must order! Also try their wings (no sauce necessary) read more

I'm not a big pizza fan but this one changed my mind! Sauce was great and crust was crisp and good. Not doughy a good pizza! Would recommend it as a place to go! Small place but worth the wait! read more

I Love Pizza so when it comes to pizza I am very picky. I pass by this pizzeria everyday on my way back from work and always wondered if it was good. I wanted pizza on a Friday night but didn't know where to order from and remembered this place. I placed my order for a small pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers and Jalapeños. I gotta say this pizza was sooooooo good! It had the right amount of cheese and toppings! The crust was nicely cooked. It just met all my expectations! This is my neighborhood to go to pizza! read more

Best pizza on the southside of Chicago I don't care what anyone says delicious cheese the best sauce and whether you pick up and deliver it will always be even better the next day read more

One sausage slice before the airport, $3.50. First bite is hot and fresh. These Chicago people sure do put a lot of cheese on their pizza. Sauce to cheese ratio is great. Sauce has good flavor. Crust is a little bland but proportionate. Sausage is great, not overwhelming with fennel. Would recommend if you're looking for a quick eat. read more

Positano's Pizza - Sausage slice with added red pepper flakes. - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

So delicious!!!! I was gonna add a picture but ate it too fast! Best customer service I've had in a very long time!

My favorite neighborhood pizza. Won't disappoint, stuffed is my favorite, nice and cheesy. More of a takeout place with not much room to dine in. Then again most neighborhood pizzerias don't offer that. read more

If you were raised in Chicago, this pizza will remind you of your childhood! ITS SOOOO GOOD! I happened to be in the area showing homes and stopped one quickly to get a slice of pizza and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! read more

I would be willing to try this place again, but instead opt waiting for a fresh pizza to be made instead of grabbing slices from their case. I found the dough to be too dry and cracker-like. It may just be because the pizza was in a display for a while or maybe after it was reheated it dried the crust. Came here on a whim while in the neighborhood. Had a slice of their traditional deep dish and a slice of their "thin crust". The deep dish had a very deep sauce and tender sausage. The thin crust was disappointing as it reminded me of frozen, thick, in-a-box pizza. The woman who served us was very friendly. She offered to customize the thin crust slide with additional toppings. The restaurant is very small. Consists of a countertop to order, a fridge and three tables. Better to do take-out from here. read more

I have a long standing 25 year relationship with Positanos. Back when I was 12 years old they gave me my first job. In the Ashland location. So I knew the father and the 2 brothers. Good guys. I eventually moved out of that area and ended up closer to Midway. To my surprise, years later I found they opend a new location next to me. Awesome!! So of course we ordered from here. For years I have loved their pizza. My score in know way reflects flavor. In my opinion it's one of the best pizzas in Chicago. But my score of 3 stars is because I removed nostalgic feelings and this is what I truly felt. So here we go. Here on the south side it gets very competitive with pricing. And for the same price that I'm paying for this pizza, I can go to a pizza place I can dine in. I won't mention the competition. But, for the same price I'm getting a dining experience along with it. The staff specifically the ones who handle the phones typically do an okay job. But even when I place an order I find myself having to make sure I repeat myself about 3 times so I can get my order accurate. This is because they have gotten it wrong on several occasions. You walk in, you are never greeted by the staff in the front. and if you're lucky, they look up away from their phones to notice that you're there. My score is based on customer service and competitive pricing. Two easy things that can be fixed to make this place great are: employee training and a marketing strategy. An incentive to stand out and compete. When competition starts surrounding your business, you don't just increase prices and hope for the best. You create a reason why people should stay interested and not go to someone else. If I was basing my score on flavor they would get a five. But, I have to be honest. And this location needs improvements. I hope in the near future I can add two more stars. because I truly like this pizza joint and I wholeheartedly want it to do better. read more

They said my order was going to be ready in 30 minutes and it's been 35 minutes and counting.

Great little mom and pop!!! The deep pizza is the best! The crust was perfect, the sauce was tangy, and it was cooked to perfection. They have personal sized deep pizza which I also nice. The owner made sure he let the pizza "sit" for a minute before cutting into it to serve me a slice so it wasn't pizza soup. Seriously, this pizza was so good I smuggled my leftovers back to Denver on the plane!!! I only wish they had green olives for the pizza. Call ahead, deep pizza takes 30+ minutes to cook!!! read more

A good local neighborhood pizza. We ordered a large thin sliced pizza and the pepperoni was not lacking flavor and plentiful. The cheese on the pizza was also tasty with the sauce. I personally find it better than big chain pizza places and Lou Malnati's. read more

One of the worst pizzas and beef sandwiches ever. Ordered regular pizzas, they were like stuffed pizzas with hardly any sauce. Pretty much thick bread and cheese. Ordered beef sandwiches wet... Well, the bread was soaked but not too much moisture in the beef, one of the driest I ever tasted, how old was this meat and how long did they overcook it? And way overpriced, paid $100 for 2 pizzas 3 beefs and some fries, plus delivery. Not worth it, and not recommended. read more

This is one of the best pizza places in the midway area, in my opinion. Their thin crust is amazing! I haven't tried anything else from their menu besides the fries because the pizza gives me a reason not to. Delivery is prompt. Their drivers are also pretty cool. Pricing is good as well. I always order my pizzas extra thin, extra crispy, and they come thru every time. read more

I have been obsessed with this pizza for over 10 years now. It is real Chicago "thin" crust pizza with a ton of cheese.

I love love love Positanos pizza. The flavor is fresh, amazing, and they are so accommodating. This is our favorite pizza place from the south side. We ordered a pound of shrimp and they accidentally sent us a slice of pizza instead of the second pound. I called them and they immediately apologized for the inconvenience and quickly sent us the other 1/2 pound. That's great customer service!! Thanks Positanos for being on point all the time! read more

Am I going to get flak for this? Yeah, probably... But with a 3 hour layover at Midway airport and having never experienced true Chicago pizza before, I saw the Yelp reviews for Positanos and figured it would be worth the mile-long shuttle/walk. I hustled there and grabbed a couple of slices, cheese and sausage. Not only is there better pizza pretty much everywhere, but I found both to be well below average: the type of pizza you could get from any neighborhood pizza place pretty much anywhere. I'm not saying it was inedible, just that it is no destination for me and if I lived 2 doors down, I'd still have a hard time justifying making it my "usual." The service was average and prices were a bit high for slices. read more

Worst pizza ever!...I eat pizza on the reg and new to the neighborhood i decide to try this and very disappointed.wings were cooked well but very mediocre.zucchini sticks were bland.fries were ok. read more

Love this place. My family has been ordering from here for over 15 years. Even after moving to the burbs, we still come back for pizza. It's the best pizza on the south side. read more

Hands down, best pizza in Chicago. I have been ordering fro here since 1996 and are still my go to pizza place in the southside. Beware that they are closed on Mondays, but otherwise open the rest of the week. Free 2 liter with your pizza & they have some good side dishes also. read more

Wow! Delicious sauce! I could drink the sauce! Ordered two pizzas and a half tray of salad for my office staff a couple of weeks ago. The pizza was fabulous, thanks to the amazing sauce. The salad looked wonderful with lots of fresh veggies, but I did not have time to try it. Delivery was late for lunch but the delivery person was very nice. Highly recommend! read more

More of a take-out of place, just enough room to seat 8 people inside. Stopped in for a quick bite, asked for some pepperoni slices but they only had sausage. Awwwhh. The lady offered to throw some pepperoni on there and heat it up. Yes please! Kind service, affordable, can't complain about the flavor, would come here again, making it my default local pizza stop. Thank you. read more

I have to honestly say that this spot is easily in my top 3 great prices and the pizza is amazing ! Also try the cheese fries! I highly recommend this place ! read more

This is your good ol' neighborhood pizza joint. Their pizza is pretty good especially their sauce. I really enjoy their buffalo wings.... in fact I can't stop eating them. Their delivery is very speedy and reliable. They also have great specials!!! read more

Salad was iceberg with tomatoes, cukes and a few roasted red peppers. Gave me wrong dressing. Eggplant parmigiana was good, with a garlic tomato sauce. I would have enjoyed more seasoning read more

I can't say enough about this place. I love the crust. I don't eat pork, but I will eat a slice of their sausage pizza any day of the week. The sauce is awesome! I LOVE the cheese fries. I live right around the corner, so when I want a slice of pizza, I just walk a couple blocks and get one. The owners are amazing people. I come here all of the time and I usually carry cash. A few weeks ago however, I left my house without my wallet and had already ordered the pizza. I was sooo embarrassed! I apologized and I told them that I would be back to pick up the pizza and pay. I know my face was red! LOL! The owners were extremely nice and told me not to worry about it. To just stop by next time I'm around the neighborhood. I kept apologizing and told them that they could just hold the pizza in the heater for me and I would be back shortly. "It happens," the lady said and smiled. Both insisted that I just go back another day when I had time. I went back the next day as soon as they opened. If that isn't great customer service, I don't know what is. I can't say enough about this mom and pop shop. The fact that they have a great staff and amazing owners makes it a gem in my eyes. read more

Really good pizza, nuggets, and onion rings. Theyre not open on mondays just a quick heads up. Also, i tried out an italian beef. Was really disappointed. It had a weird after taste like rotten milk after biting into it. Didnt come with gardinera peppers either and i asked for em. Dont bother with the sandwiches or less popular menu items. read more

One of my top favorite place to order pizza from in the area but this time I stopped by for a slice...Good Pizza as always, yet my slice was incorrect. Ordered a slice of sausage ,but got cheese.... didn't know till I got home. oh well....the girl at the desk was a bit unfriendly. read more

Today marks the second time in two weeks that I've called an hour before their posted closing time, only to be told that they are closed.
