Waited a while for our order but it was worth it. Manicotti w/meatballs, Chicken Vesuvio and Italian Beef & Sausage tasted good. Both young ladies behind the counter were all smiles and extremely helpful. read more

If you haven't had Punky's you should probably keep it that way. I spent $50....FIFTY on mediocre food which consisted of a slice of pizza, a breaded steak sandwich, a chicken wrap, and two drinks. Then they hand me my cup's which is a 16 oz cup. Mind you...that is the size of a red solo cup. The pizza looked good, it truly was not. Steak sandwich was okay. My wife said she wasn't too crazy about the wrap. If you want better food/quality/pricing head eastbound down 26th to Ricobenes's. It's hard to support a small business with prices like that Place is legit ass!!! read more

Got delivery from here in a Friday night. Totally average food, people hype it up because it's tavern style and because of the CCSW (chicken Caesar salad wrap). I didn't get the CCSW though. I got the eggplant parm sandwich, which was fine, lacked depth, but it was a very simple eggplant parm. My partner got the stuffed gnocchi, and mozzarella sticks. He liked the gnocchi, the mozzarella sticks were fine, frozen to fryer style. We also got the pepperoni pizza, it was spongier than tavern style, cheesy, overall fine. All was just okay. read more

Might be one of the worst experiences I ever had. Where to start. The spaghetti was beyond bland. Seemed like they just placed a can of crushed tomatoes over noodles. We also ordered a chicken Caesar sandwich. We received an over cooked cutlet,oil with Italian seasoning and a couple day old bread. The following day everyone at the Father's Day dinner from Punkys complained about stomach issues. We will defiantly not be recommending or eating at this place. read more

Ordered to go via their website and the order was completed by the time I arrived. I had a buffalo chicken wrap. The wrap itself was good and taste fresh. The chicken had the right amount of sauce on it. I had no complaints with my wrap. I will be back to try a different wrap. read more

Ordered 1st time from here. HORRIBLE!! Ordered the breaded chicken Caesar sandwich and slice of pizza. The sandwich was over fried and so salty I couldn't eat it. It sounded good so what a shame. The pizza was so greasy it was like it wasn't even cooked. What a waste of $30.00. read more

Ever since they got rid of the fettuccine Alfredo and the steak salad, they've become just another average Italian deli. Not to mention, one of the cashiers constantly guilt-trips people over tipping. read more

ugh, I don't want to be that person, but imma have to be. We came to punkys when two other pizza spots that said they were open online were in fact not. The service was friendly enough and being an East Coast pizza lover, I was excited to see they had a Sicilian pie on the menu. The smallest pie was half a sheet, which was really huge, but me and my sis split the order. We also ordered a salad and a fettuccine Alfredo for my mom. The salad was decent, nothing to talk about there, but as I took some noodles for myself from my mom's Alfredo order, I noticed a wiry, longish thing mixed in with the sauce. I showed the woman at the counter who said it might be basil and then said, it's not basil. She did come over apologetic with brownies. The pizza came and it looked nothing like a Sicilian. We barely ate a slice. The cheese tasted weird and the dough was wet and squishy, nothing like a Sicilian. We packed some up to give to someone who might be hungrier than we left, I ended up putting it in the alley, no point of even having it inside the house (it was that gross y'all). Sadly the brownies weren't that good either so we also left that behind with about half the pizza. We spent about $73 for inedible pizza, pasta with some foreign object in it, salad and three pops. read more

Pot Roast sandwich very fatty. $70.00 of very unacceptable food and messed up my order! Forgot my whole order.

This is a great neighborhood place in Bridgeport. Menu covers everything Chicago- Italian Beef to dogs and amazing sandwiches, salads and sides plus a nice selection of pastas and pizzas. Plenty of parking, too. read more

I love Punky's Scarlata thin-crust pizza with generous chunks of Italian sausage, pepperoni, and hot gardiniera. My second favorite item is the Eggplant Parmigiana pasta which is enough for me to eat for three meals. Service is always excellent. read more

Don't go here as much as I should, as I've always been a big ricobenes fan. Although this is still a solid spot worth going to. Staff is friendly, service is fairly quick. I usually go here for the chicken Cesar wrap which is extremely flavorful, chicken is fresh and well seasoned, dressing is nice and creamy, the wrap itself is well sized, and the fries that come with it are exceptional. It is pricey but it is well worth it. Best fries I've had in Bridgeport bar none. read more

The Neighborhood and Scarletta pizzas are the best. The burger with the toasted bun should not be missed. We've only tried takeout but it's all been great, read more

The food is good and they have daily specials. Delivery service is available and they are quick.

The food did not disappoint and the Caesar Wrap is so delicious. The employees are very kind and helpful.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. A little pricey but the portions are sharable. I really enjoy the pastas and the pizza.

Baked panzerotti is huge and tasty, my wife really enjoys the steak salad. Their spaghetti is a hit/miss. Sometimes the sauce is spot on, other times too tangy read more

If you're white and like below average food this is for you. First couple times alone ordering takeout I noticed interaction with all patrons who were all white seemed jovial and once it was my turn you would think I walked up to the front counter drenched in dip crap they way they girl turned her face on me. Two similar interactions can be a coincidence then I went back with my white gf we both ordered separately to test my theory and this place is def racist read more

I picked up the ravioli it was a nice size portion and tasted good. Service was fast and friendly.

I got the chicken Caesar wrap, waffle fries and some sauces on the side. I ordered this on Uber Eats. Delivered pretty quickly. I'm pretty sure the food was done quicker than it was delivered so good on the restaurant, bad on the driver. This chicken caesar wrap is supposed to be one of the best in Chicago. Now maybe I didn't do very good research but this is not at all what I thought it was going to be and frankly I kinda hated it. I knew it would be grilled (I hated that it was grilled) so I can't count that as part of the reason why it was bad. A warm wrap that's basically just lettuce is not good warm but I wanted to try it. No what I really didn't like was the wrap or the dressing. I wanted something light and flavorful for lunch. I thought this was bland and really heavy. It came split up into three parts and I could barely finish one. The fries were so bland. I don't even know how salted they were. My ranch container came broken and ranch got everywhere. Also the prices are quite steep for such bland, pretty basic ingredients. Overall I paid way too much for lunch that was just pretty bad. read more

Now is your time to try their HUGE calzones or their pasta!!! Even the salads are succulent and well arranged!!! It's very filling very fast but so delicious!!! read more

First time trying this spot and it was a disappointment. The sauce honestly looked like vomit. It wasn't even cooked with the pasta, just poured on top of noodles. By far the worst pasta I've ever had. read more

This is a tough review to write because I really, really wanted to find a new Bridgeport spot. I usually go to Freddie's for their Chicken Ceasar Wrap, but had heard about Punky's forever and wanted to check it out. There is a decent amount of free street parking so that is always a good thing. I went with a grilled chicken Cesar wrap and fries. It comes with waffle fries and they're decent. Not too many of them but they taste good. The wrap was big, more of a pita than a traditional wrap. You get three large parts, but there is something missing, can't quite place it. It's a very watery sandwich, the Cesar dressing isn't that thick. It's also at the high end of price. A wrap and small fountain drink was just over $14, kind of high for me. The pizza looked decent and I probably would try that again. This reminds of a place that is good drunk food but I maybe not a sober dining place. Not sure if I would come back, I probably would to try the pizza. Give it a shot and see. Happy Dining yelpers. read more

Solid Italian spot in Bridgeport, featuring all the main staples-pizza, sandwiches, dogs, pastas etc. It might not be famous amongst all the famous Chicago places, but it's a dependable neighborhood spot. You can either eat there, or order to go/take out from their convenient window on 26th street. I've had a wide variety of items over the years I've lived here-thin crust sausage pizza, ravioli with meatballs, hot dog, chicken ciabatta sandwich, minestrone soup, fries, and pub chips. I'd say the best of those was the ravioli w/ meatballs, they were both really big and a good value. Pizza was pretty good too. My friends enjoy ordering here too, so I'm sure I'll very likely be ordering from here again in the near future. Depending on the day, it's usually smarter to order ahead if you're getting to go, as there's usually a line of some sort on 26th with people ordering. read more

Pizza is pretty good. I've also had the wraps and they were yummy too. Overall, pretty good place and will be back.

Our work buys our lunch here either they mess up the order or the food we try and get company to change maybe soon read more

Punky's Pizza & Pasta - Thanks for the 15$ crap sandwich - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Pretty disappointed with pizza from other night. Crust tasted frozen and everything from crust, sauce, and toppings were bland. Pepperoni was sparse on my pizza. Maybe one piece of pepperoni made it onto each piece. See picture.I ordered a large to have leftovers for lunch but wound up tossing it out. I've never threw out a pizza before! So that should tell you all you need to know. read more

First of all I like Punkys food. Normally. I just stopped there today and ordered 2 lices of pizza. I'm disappointed. You should tell people you're serving them pizza from the night before. Won't do that again read more

I usually order pizza and vodka pasta from punkys because it's absolutely delicious but!!(try pizza w/vodka sauce, rigatoni and chicken!!! Chefs kiss) but this time I also decided to try the pot roast sandwich.... And WOW!!! The pot roast is tender and the sandwich is loaded with meat, cheese, onions and mushrooms- definitely adding it to my go to list from punkys! Sorry I don't have a picture because there's none left! read more

Went there Thurs PM. The same bartender was there at another bar we went to on Tues. waiting 30 minutes then walked out.

Ordered takeout for my family yesterday because there was a 120 wait for delivery from Ricobene's. A good friend recommended Punky's and they did not disappoint. The baked mostaccioli with meatballs, garlic bread, and the gravy bread were all delicious! I'll be ordering from here more often!! read more

I ordered a chick parmigiana sandwich from Punky's. it was amaziing. It was so delicious and a very large serving. In the past, I've eaten many different items from the menu and I have never been disappointed!! David P., Bridgeport read more

Bridgeport has a nice handful of these wonderful neighborhood Italian, fast-casual joints. Punky's is kitty corner from Mark Sheridan Academy, and West of Chinatown. Of course, Punky's has pizza whether you want individual slices or a whole pie. This is the typical Chicagoland thin crust variety. Crust is not overly hard, but holds up the sauce and cheese. Good balance of ingredients, and it satisfies the appetite if you're looking for something quick. You'll find an assortment of other Chicago staples like Italian beef sandwiches, but I was surprised by the fried mushrooms. These are big league, and it's not your standard button mushrooms either. I think this was a portobello! Nice option for delivery or just a quick pick-up or dine-in. Interior is clean, and the staff is friendly. They're always partnering with Mark Sheridan Academy on fundraisers, and it's good to see they're so involved in the community. I'll support that! read more

Solid restaurant in Bridgeport. I've come here a few times with friends and always enjoy what I have. First time I had a slice of pepperoni pizza, which was very good. The second time around I had a buffalo chicken wrap which was good and had big portions. Prices here run normal for the area. If you're in Bridgeport stop by! read more

Met up with a friend from out of town as she is on a quest for the best chicken wrap and saw on TikTok Punky's was the spot. I'm not much for wraps because I don't like store bought tortillas however this place uses pita bread! The choice of grilled or breaded chicken is offered, we both selected breaded and added croutons. What made it tasty for me was the pita and that it's grilled because it was crispy. Yum! As for service you do have to order, pay and pick up your meal at the counter. Not thrilled about having to get up and grab my meal but it's not a deal breaker. The seating area is spacious, tables were clean, and floors looked swept. Customer service was also good, no complaints the ladies were nice upon our arrival and departure and did the same for everyone else coming in or leaving. I'll definitely be returning. read more

Food is decent. Nice neighborhood joint. My only complaint is it's a little pricey for a steak sandwich $14 before any add ons or sides. My order was on Feb 23rd and was prepared caryout read more
