    "Pepperoni" pizza with no toppings
    David R.

    This was some of the worst pizza I've ever had. We ordered two pizzas for delivery, one pepperoni and one mushroom. The pepperoni pie had zero pepperoni on it (even though we were charged) and the mushroom pie had a few small pieces of mushroom. The crust was nearly tasteless - like something you'd expect in a bad school cafeteria meal. Definitely not worth the price or the time.

    Slice of pizza

    Came in for a quick slice as I was in the neighborhood and was generally unimpressed. The place was spacious and empty when I came by, about 6:30. Pizza was almost cardboard-like and had a rubbery tasting cheese. Maybe I came in on a bad night, but I wasnt impressed. The garlic bread was okay, and the prices weren't bad for the area. Overall, not super impressed, but on a positive the guys working were nice and seemed to have fun, as they were singing to the music in the place.

    Italian Beef

    My friend was visiting from out of town and only had two hours in between meetings to come say Hi! He wanted to try a bunch of "Chicago food" and there wasn't one spot that I could decide on, so instead I chose to check out Primos because their menu looked HUGE. This popular lunch spot had everything I was looking for: pizza, Italian Beef, and pasta. Sure it all sounds overkill on the carby side, but this was exactly what my friend wanted. Not only was their menu vast but their portions and offerings were just as large as well. Nearly all the items come with some soup to accompany your already heavy meal. We ordered everything I listed above and enjoyed two spinach-chowders as a side. The chowder was pretty salty so we barely touched it to be honest. However, the real mission were the pizzas and Italian beef sandwiches. The thin crust pizza was decent and the Italian beef was the clear winner of the two. It's not as good as Al's or Porto's but I feel you get a much bigger portion here at Primos. Oh, we didn't end there. We also ordered their Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo (yes we were crazy) which was toasted up in a tin tray. The piping hot pasta ended up being my favorite of the three main dishes that we ordered. In the future, I think I'll stick with either the pasta or the Italia beef. Overall, this is a great lunch spot if you're feeling indecisive and need a spot with plenty of options to choose from for affordable prices.

    About a mile walking distance from the Amtrak station. I had a brief layover and decided to walk to grab a bite to eat before my next departure. I called ahead and placed my order. Once I arrived my pizza was being pulled out of the oven. Fresh hot and ready. Service was attentive. Slices are HUGE. You have the option to have it sliced in half (like a regular pizza) or in small squares. EPIC. Decent spot to grab a bite to eat.

    A little gem in the west loop! If you are looking for an affordable place to eat while in the west loop, check them out. Great pizza, sandwiches and soup! My husband and I would come here often for lunch when he use to work in the west loop and the owners were always there working behind the counter. This was years ago, and I haven't seen them recently but very nice people. I recently came back when I was in the area and the food is still excellent! They have a great variety to choose from.

    We tried Primo's for the first time tonight and we were quite disappointed. Delivery was fast and the pizza was hot; however, we cannot rate it more than 2 stars. The pizza would have been 3.5 to 4 stars if, and this is a big if, it had sauce. We still want to try the pasta, but we won't be back for the pizza. -B

    If I could leave less than one star i would. I ordered a salad with no green peppers for $9 and received about a whole pepper cut up and places throughout my salad made of iceberg lettuce and some sliced tomato. Then for the "Chicago pizza." Now I'm not from here I'm from Las Vegas. This tasted like the shitty gas station pizza we would get while I was wasted. I wouldn't spend my money at thIs place ever again. And extremely disappointed I did in the first place.

    Terrible pizza, wrong salad, and no salad dressing. Just awful. Granted it was 11:30 pm so maybe the A team wasn't cooking the pizzas.

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.

If you're in Chicago, you definitely have to try a deep dish pizza. Service was good. The wait time for a deep dish pizza is 30 minutes so be sure not to come starving. I also recommend making a reservation ahead of time. We came on a Saturday at 2pm and the wait was 1.5 hours for two people but we already had a reservation so there was no wait

We grabbed a reservation for an early Sunday lunch the day before, but the restaurant was pretty empty. 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.
