This is not my first time here and I really like everything, the waiters are great, the food is also great, even when there are a lot of people the orders are brought very quickly. Although it is not surprising that there is such a large influx of people in such a place Oh my god and also the atmosphere, just wonderful there are no words read more

Pretty good pizza. Visited Chicago and thought we'd pick up a box. As a New Yorker, just not into deep dish but still wanted to try some famous Chicago style pizza. Picked up the Rita. Was ready in 15 minutes and overall, pretty good. I'd come back and try again for sure! read more

Gorgeous patio dining at Robert's! Amazing view. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Server was kind, attentive, and offered reccos. Caesar salad: 2/5 - lacked flavor, pretty drab, skip The Rita pizza: 4/5 - good pizza, but nothing I need to go out of my way to get again. The house made ranch is delicious, though! read more

We made a 12:15pm lunch reservation on a Tuesday and chose to sit inside to escape the extreme heat outside. They do have great outdoor seating right on the Chicago River, but the indoor dining room was comfortable and a welcome relief from the weather. The place was absolutely packed for the lunch rush, so the service was average, but the food was amazing. They have some items marked gluten-free on the menu, and our server confirmed that every pizza on the menu can be made GF. While it is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, they take great precautions to limit cross-contamination, which gave me peace of mind after informing them I have celiac disease. We started with the apple kale salad and then shared a duck prosciutto with red sauce pizza on a gluten-free crust. The crust is a European-style blend where the gluten is removed from the flour, and it was really, really good. If you are looking for top-tier gluten-free pizza in the city, this spot is highly recommended. read more

Beautiful location on the water, the Ogden Slip. So lovely and peaceful. Indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor patio is so nice! Lots of umbrellas. Excellent happy hour! We enjoyed pizza super slices, meatballs, and calamari. The sauce with the meatballs was amazing! Had a nice kick! Loved the sauce with the calamari too. Delicious Arnold Palmer to drink. The affogato for dessert was fabulous too. Tasty gelato. Attentive and helpful service. I definitely want to come back for dinner. read more

There's just something about Robert's Pizza and Dough Company that keeps us coming back every single time We've been here so many times already and somehow every visit feels even better than the last. The second you walk in, the entire atmosphere just feels cozy, lively, welcoming, and honestly impossible to leave Between the views, the music, the energy, the smell of pizza coming out of the oven nonstop... it's genuinely one of our favorite spots in the city. We started with cocktails that were SO refreshing and perfectly made, then got surprised with burrata on the house which was such a sweet touch and absolutely incredible. Creamy, fresh, flavorful -- the kind of appetizer you immediately wish was twice the size because it disappears way too fast And then THE PIZZA. Their char pizza is seriously one of those pizzas you think about days later. Perfectly blistered crust, crispy edges, cheesy, saucy, with those little pepperoni cups that get crispy on top Every bite somehow tastes even better than the last and the crust alone deserves its own appreciation post honestly. As if we weren't already completely obsessed with the experience, they ALSO brought out flan on the house for dessert and WOW. Smooth, creamy, rich, perfectly balanced sweetness with the whipped cream and caramel... literally the perfect ending to such an amazing dinner. But honestly what keeps making us fall in love with Robert's over and over again isn't just the food -- it's the entire experience. The service is ALWAYS incredible, everyone is so welcoming and attentive, and the ambiance is truly unmatched. It's one of those places where dinner turns into sitting around talking longer because you genuinely don't want the night to end read more

If you one of you and a good meal, come here! Definitely get a reservation as a lot of the seating is outdoors and of course, the beautiful weather with the breeze and the view makes this place really busy. It's on the river. We made a reservation and got seating outside on a Friday night. It was super packed.. We got to make your own pizza, I think the pizza needed a little more sauce. It was delicious, but less flavorful than I thought. The crust was great, not too thick like your usual Chicago pizza. Service was good quick and easy. read more

This place was VERY busy, we had a reservation so got in timely but wow it was packed. We were soo excited to try the pizza but were underwhelmed. The ricotta tasted like goat cheese although they assured me it was ricotta. The crust was unedible bc it was so burnt. Service was meh, saw our server maybe 2x, to order and then when we flagged her down for the bill. Great views from the outside deck, almost like sitting in holland overlooking the canals. Overall, dont recommend. read more

Our first girl dinner of our Chicago trip was Robert's Pizza and Dough. My friend had found their restaurant online and so we were all really excited to check it out. It was maybe a 15 minute walk from our hotel which isn't anything at all but it is by the water so it's pretty cold. When we arrived we were able to get seats without reservations which was nice. Between 6 girls we order calamari and meatballs to share along with the Cali Itali pizza and Carne. Umm the food was so delicious, the meatballs had so much flavor and really huge definitely a good little share. Then the calamari was perfect, not oily and super crunchy, I haven't had good calamari in forever so this hit the spot. Our pizzas were perfect, the dough had good flavor and the toppings were just the right amount. It's not Chicago's tavern style or deep dish but this was by far the best pizza we had all trip. Note, the bathroom is down a spooky hall but it was really nice. The people here were so friendly and the food is superb. I bet during Summertime this place is just beautiful to eat outside! Ugh, I cannot wait to come back! read more

This was one of the food highlights on my recent trip to Chicago! The neighborhood is beautiful this time of year, so if you can I recommend requesting outdoor reservations. They do fill up quick and walk in wait times were over an hour. Service was standard, we did feel ourselves looking around for our server a little bit, but the food was delicious! Most of the salads are big enough to share between two people and the apple hazelnut was a crisp and refreshing start. The cup and char was delicious, perfectly crisp thin crust without being greasy. I recommend getting the hot honey on the side, especially to drizzle on the crust. read more

Had a fantastic river side patio dinner at Robert's! It was great weather to be out and while they were busy both inside and outside, we were seated fairly quickly for dinner time on a Saturday. Our server was kind and frequently checked in on us for refills. Our group opted to get a chorizo pizza and a carne pizza, both of which were delicious and flavorful! The chorizo pizza had a great mix of toppings (goat cheese, tomato, chorizo) that all went well together. the carne pizza had plenty of toppings and tasted wonderful too! Honestly forget the Chicago deep dish chains and come here, we did not regret it! read more

LOVE Robert's!!!! Everything about it is amazing. The pizza is delicious, the drinks are also delicious, and the ambiance is perfect. The pizza can also be made gluten free. It's tucked away in the city but right by a quiet branch of the river, you really can't beat the location. They can accommodate really large groups as well so it's great for a big party size. Summer nights at Roberts are my favorite. read more

Had an awesome experience here in River East. The weather couldn't have been better, and their outdoor seating really made the whole meal feel like a perfect Chicago moment. We started with the mussels, which were absolutely on point--fresh, flavorful, and a great way to kick things off. Our server recommended the acorn squash, and I'm really glad we listened. Such a great seasonal dish, and it felt like we caught it just in time before it's gone. A highlight was Robert (manager/owner) stopping by to say hi--super friendly and genuinely welcoming, which added a nice personal touch to the experience. Great food, great service, and an ideal outdoor setup. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. Easy to navy pier or the river if you need to walk those calories off read more

UPDATE: I added a star because our experience was acknowledged by the restaurant management. Service matters and while we didn't need anything fixed or reimbursed, I so appreciate that level of focus on customer satisfaction. We got it delivered via DoorDash as we heard great things about Robert's gluten free crust and we had someone visiting who eats GF. The sauce was excellent, but we were disappointed by the lack of meat on a carne pizza (it was light cheese, but we thought that was fine) and our crust was so hard and chewy that we literally couldn't power through the outer edge of the crusts after eating past the toppings. The salad was fine, not remarkable. I didn't see anywhere on the site that mentioned the size of the pizza so we gambled a bit that we would have enough for 3 adults, but we had enough since we didn't love it. It was our first time and maybe we would try again without GF, but it's a very expensive pizza so maybe take that into consideration. read more

I love Robert's! The crust is perfection: airy with a little crunch. I've been here multiple over the course of several years (since they first opened), and I've loved every pizza. My favorite topping is caramelized onion! I haven't been there for brunch yet, but those pizzas also look delicious. Pizzas are fairly priced, ingredients are super fresh, great ratios of all pizza components, and they're consistently made well without variability. I can always count on a good pizza from Robert's! The location is also excellent. I love dining on the patio when the weather is nice and enjoying that Chicago River view. Note when dining in on the patio that it can get pretty crowded with a long wait time. Takeout has always been speedy! Tip: if you have leftover pizza, make sure you heat it up in the microwave a bit to make the crust soft again! read more

Came here for Sunday lunch. The place was still festive! The to-go order area was also busy. It's nice that there's is an indoor separated waiting area to pick up to-go orders. The pizza looks good, but unfortunately the toppings were too dry for me. The crust was crunchy but has a stronger "charred" smell/flavor, but my mom loves it. Totally depending on your taste, you may love or hate their pizzas. read more

Had a great time at Robert's. We celebrated mother day here on a Saturday. We ordered calamari, wings, drinks, and two pizzas, and everything was enjoyable. The service was great -- we even got a table touch from Robert himself. My only issue was with the bill at the end of the night. Our server brought us two different receipts with nearly a $50 difference and couldn't clearly explain the discrepancy. We paid the adjusted bill, but the experience left us feeling a bit uncomfortable. read more

Sooo Robert's Pizza and Dough Company was such a tasty stop! Everything felt fresh and light, which I really appreciated. We sat outside by the water, and the view was really nice.

This place was so nice especially on a warm day. Having a reservation and putting outdoor seating is a perk because they do get busy. We got their calamari which was good on their happy hour and I got their NA hibiscus mule which was really good. We have tried their mushroom pizza before and it's good but the walk in the woods is much better. Outdoor seating you can bring your little dogs as well. read more

Let me just say, Robert knows what he's doing in this restaurant. This place got recommended by locals while visiting Chicago so I knew it had to be good. The place is quite large and has indoor/outdoor seating. The indoors section I was at has a cozy dim lighting vibe. Everything was clean and the staff were really nice. I tried their seasonal acorn squash pizza and it's definitely up there as one of the most unique and flavorful pizzas I've had. Also their crust... I mean just look at it. As a tourist, if I'm ever back in Chicago this is my first stop. read more

The pizza was good, but still kind of mid in my opinion, nothing too crazy. The arancini as their appetizer actually stood out more than the pizza. Overall, the service and vibe were really nice. The location right by the river is a big plus and adds to the overall experience. The space felt a little stuffy at times, but not really a deal breaker. The place gets a lot of hype for the crust and overall quality, but it did not fully live up to that level for me. read more

Service: 4/5 Pizza: 5/5 Salad: 3/5 Visited on a Friday afternoon. Sat on the patio and enjoyed the vibes and nice weather. Started with a Caesar salad. It was just ok! Went with the make your own pizza (red sauce, pepperoni, bacon, red onions, and garlic). Unlike the salad, the pizza was great. The total was a little pricey, but overall 4/5. read more

This is not the pizza place you bring guests who are looking for iconic Chicago style pizza. However, this is a place where you go to get one of the best pizzas in Chicago. It's not deep dish, but it is delicious pizza. Variety is great, from white artisan style pizza to traditional red sauce pizza. My favorites are still the Margherita (Rita) and the Pepperoni (Cup and Char). Go to happy hour if you want to try different toppings since slices (1/8 of a pie) of the traditional pizzas are only $8. They do not offer varied topping on Whole pizzas on the regular menu. You will need to order separate pizzas. Get there early since happy hour is very busy and hard to get seats. They also offer good drinks at a discounted price. To truly enjoy this restaurant, make a reservation for outdoor seating specifically asking to be on the dock. Offers nice views of the river, and away from the main walkway. We have tried different menu items like the meatballs, and short rib pastas. They were just OK, but at least this restaurant offers items for those not wanting just pizza. This place is all about the PIZZA. I believe it's rated as one of the Top 10 Pizzas in the US. The rating is well deserved. read more

I'm all in on Robert's now. What a great pizza. It's a slightly charred crust with the pillowy interior. Yes. You heard me. Pillowy. Fresh flavors in the toppings. Crushed tomatoes were so sweet on the "Rita" (Margherita) pie. My mouth is watering just remembering it Arancini was okay, but not very exciting. I wouldn't order it again. The arrabiata sauce that came with the arancini was awesome though. Very spicy and packed with flavor. Super attentive server on a busy Friday night. We sat outside to soak up the last of summer. Could not be a better location. Its on the Ogden slip side of River East. Which feels tucked away and in the center of everything all at the same time. Great place to come feel like a tourist in our own city. read more

Robert's Pizza and Dough has become one of our favorite restaurants in the city of Chicago for a variety of reasons. First, the food and drink are delicious. Some of our favorite pizzas include the Fennel, Carne (both with house made fennel sausage which is fire!), and the Duck Prosciutto. If we want leftovers, we'll get two pizzas between the two of us. If we want to feel healthy, happy, and not have leftovers, we'll get one pizza and a starter salad like the Apple Hazelnut Salad or the Beet & Kale Salad, both which are delicious! My spouse loves the high quality local beer list and I love the creative and delicious cocktail list, both with seasonal rotations. You can't go wrong! Second, the location and ambiance are incredible! Located on a waterway inlet from Lake Michigan, the outdoor space and water facing indoor bar offer stunning views of the water and treed-in area. The indoor space is nice and welcoming as well, just not as visually stunning. For a visual curb appeal and romantic date, this is the spot for you! Third, the overall experience is top-notch: (a) kind, helpful, and professional staff and service, (b) reasonable prices for such an incredible meal and stunning location, and (c) reservations via OpenTable that guarantee your spot! We recently went for my birthday and I felt so well celebrated! The waitress was so kind and celebratory and the free dessert ice cream was delicious: salted caramel with salted caramel peanut butter cups. YUM! Thanks for being an amazing and delicious dinning experience from start to finish, Robert's! And we'll see you again soon! read more
