Went here Saturday night before going out with a bunch of ISU Alums. It was the only place we could find that was still serving food that wasn't a chain we have here in Chi-town. My only complaint is that they don't have mozzarella sticks on their menu. C'mon, you're a pizza place...oh wait, my other complaint is that they don't serve fried food past a certain time, 8pm, I think. However, they did have pizza and so that's what we ordered and garlic bread. The garlic bread was delicious. The pizza was decent. It's no Chicago pizza, but it holds it's own. And they have some good deals too if you are feeding a large group like we were. We even had some pizza left to take home which was eaten after we went out to the bars. Good deal! Our server was very nice and quite the character. Good times. read more

IMHO, the best pizza in town. Having been in operation for over 40 years, the ovens are so well seasoned now that every pizza is delicious. Decor inside is old school 70's. Delivery is usually the way I go these days. Either way you choose, this pizza is great. Thin or thick (Mona Teresa's), they're crispy, flaky & tasty. If you go with the Mona Teresa's, expect to wait 40 minutes. Not much different from most pizzeria's that offer deep/stuffed dish pizzas. In a town with nothing but chain pizzeria's, this place is a gem. read more

Tobin's Pizza is a well established pizza place that has been in three Main street locations since it's inception over 40 years ago. Thin crust is the most popular choice here, but the Mama's deep dish is excellent as well. Tobin's also serves up the Pizza recipes from michaeleo's Pizza, which was once a stiff competitor. Don't limit yourself to just pizza here. Hot Wings, Garlic Bread, a BIG bowl of salad, and spaghetti are some of the other options at this fine establishment. read more

Love love their pizza, but atmosphere isn't the greatest. That place needs a face life terribly. We always get delivery and they deliver fresh, hot pizza. Their deliver drivers are all so nice and worth the 20% tip we give them. read more

Everyone I know in Bloomington loves this place.. but If you didn't grow up with this kind of pizza it can be rather unusual. It is more like tortillas covered with cheese - versus a pizza dough. And I've met and eaten a ton of thinner crust pizzas out there. I'll have to try Mona Teresa's (their thicker/deep dish pizzas) - and see what that is like - and update my review. Staff was helpful - and good service. Also tried the shrimp dinner - but it had a bit of an aftertaste (possibly from the oil). read more

After moving away from Illinois a year ago, Tobin's Pizza wins for best thin crust pizza anywhere!

I'm typically not a fan of thin crust pizza, but Tobin's does it right! We've always ordered via delivery and it's always efficient. Fresh ingredients and good cheese to sauce ratio. Ordered their wings for the first time last night and I would also recommend those! read more

I just had the most pleasant phone-order experience with a Tobins employee! We LOVE their pizza and this time, their phone order person!

My extended family decided to dine at Tobin's last Friday night, my aunt was in town and this is her favorite pizza pie. I hadn't been to Tobin's in about 10 years and unsurprisingly nothing about the decor changed. The service is friendly and kind, they have a great deal of patience for the young and old (Dad). We ordered the thick pork topping, stick to the thin! The thick was good an all but the thin is better and doesn't come smothered in an extra pound of tomatoes. We were in and out at a good pace but there is no rush if you decide you want to sit around and shoot the breeze. I will eat here again but it will be only for the thin. They unfortunately only serve RC products and do not take credit card. read more

The Momma Theresa deep dish is awesome...comparable to Lou Malnati's pizza. I like the deep dish so much I never even get the thin crust. They have a dine in area at their restaurant, but they also have an area for pick-up, plus they deliver. I've eaten in and the service is very quick. One time they accidentally added pepperoni to our pizza - to make up for it, they gave us the incorrect pizza, the pizza we actually ordered, and garlic bread sticks. I hope they screw up my order again! read more

Tobin's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

I've only been here once but definitely want to come back some time! It's the first time I've tried pineapple on pizza and it did not disappoint. There's also a barbecue sauce that was really good. It seemed a little greasy but most pizzas are. A friend ordered chicken (white meat) and spaghetti and she got so much food for a very reasonable price. The place itself might seem a little run down, but that adds to its '80s atmosphere and had a nice feel. read more

I went to Tobin's this past Saturday 2/1/20 with my family. I tried to make reservations for a party of 9, days before at 5 pm, and was told that was early enough and wouldn't need reservations. That Saturday a few of us got to Tobin's at 4:50 and the y put tables together for our big party. As the owner Moe took us back to the table, we told him that of our party should be here any minute and to direct them back to the table. About 15 minutes later as we were waiting for the rest of our party, Moe came to my table and asked where the rest of our party was. I said they are coming. He indicated that the restaurant was getting busy and had 40 people waiting for a table and if my party doesn't show up, he would need the tables. He was very abrupt. It turns out that our party had been waiting upfront the entire time and no one acknowledged them and/or to ask ed if they were part of another party already in the restaurant. It's only after we texted our family for them to respond that they were upfront waiting to be acknowledged. It was inconsiderate. Thank goodness our server was good. The owner Moe, not so much. When I complained to Moe about his actions I got a hollow apology. All he could say was he thought we were a different party. Should any customer be treated that way? I was a long time customer, but no longer. If you go to Tobin's as a large party, make sure that everybody is in the restaurant before you sit down, unless you wanted to be desrepected and embarrassed. read more

We came to Tobin's for the first time tonight and I have no idea why it took us so long to eat here! It was terrific! The food was great, the waitress, Delaney, was so wonderful to us and we had a really nice time! The restaurant is bigger than it looks from the street and it was very clean! We will certainly be returning! read more

Sadly, Tobins is not what it used to be. Like a great renaissance painting with sun damage the flavors that the locals (including myself) came to know through family get togethers, parties and the such has faded unlike the green shag carpeting. Just little things about the cheese, the lack of fennel seeds and even the sauce has been slowly modified but portrayed as the same hometown pizza. It's still good, but not the same as when I was a kid, so I might as well feast on ash. read more

Awful. This greasy home-town favorite boasts nothing other than the ability to stack the pounds on in a hurry. The toppings are standard, in both selection and application. The sauce is....there. The restaurant itself offers a lot to be desired other than being loud and cramped. The only reason I offer a second star is out of fear of the owners smashing my teeth with a tire iron. Unless you are a wrestler trying to bulk up to the next weight class or attempting to commit suicide and not void your life insurance policy avoid this pit. read more

I had spaghetti and meatballs and it was really delicious. Only hiccup is that I had it delivered to my hotel room. Took about 40 minutes but was wrapped in foil in the box and was still very warm. But they forgot my salad, I had plenty of dressing but no salad. Called back and they agreed to send it. Asked for a couple of pieces of garlic bread to be thrown in as an apology but of course, all I received was a big styrofoam cup of lettuce (well about six shreds of carrot) with yet another dressing. And that took 35 minutes to arrive so I had salad (or rather lettuce) for dessert. read more

I love Tobin's Pizza! In my own opinion, I think it is the best tasting pizza around the Bloomington/Normal area. I only gave it 4 stars because they don't accept debit /credit cards. I never carry cash on me so that's why this is a problem. This is 2011...who doesn't accept debit/credit cards anymore? I think they need to get with the times. However, they do accept local checks. If you do write a check to Tobins, be advised that it takes them FOREVER to cash it. One time it had taken them almost 3 weeks. read more

Loved it. We ordered the thin crust pizza and it was excellent. Great atmosphere, good for the whole family. Kids had fun. Good service.

The sandwiches are disgusting. they sit loosely wrapped in aluminum foil in a fridge and the toppings are all oxidized by the time someone makes the mistake of purchasing one. The salads are touched by bare hands, its all tainted by the time you get it. The pizza is good but the management is so terrible I refuse to give them any of my money. The most unfortunate thing about this place is they bought out Micheleo's Pizza recipe and name, which was the best local pizza. They messed with the recipe so it no longer resembles the real Micheleo's. If you want freshly made pizza, go to Giordano's or Rosati's instead. read more

5 stars for tradition and ambiance, and for this truly great local take on pizza. But 4 stars because that's my maximum for a great, traditional local pizza joint read more

We had called in 2 pizzas they said it'd be about 25 minutes no problem I live out of town got in there they couldn't find my order and I said OK well I gave them what my order was to have them make it I left and came back they were supposed to cook 2 fresh pizza apparently they found the 2 pizzas that I had ordered earlier and gave them to me which were cold I didn't realize it till I got home and And I called them and the manager didn't seem to care too much about it which irritated the crap out of me considering the cost of things today and live out of town and it only took about 15 minutes to get home and it wouldn't have gotten colb that fast but my wife and I go there periodically it's not bad pizza can't say it's the best but she likes it Which we probably won't be back because this is not the 1st time we've gotten cold pizzas from them or had are order messed up and I know of other people that have gotten cold pizzas and their orders messed up They used to be really good pizzas years ago with the Tobin family but I don't think they own it anymore and it's gone down from there not a happy customer at all read more

I've always liked this place best, but the last couple of pizzas ordered and delivered to me have been pure crap. The one I received two nights ago was really lame. The crust was still covered in uncooked flower yet the crust was also incredibly brittle and hard to bite into. It wasn't burnt, but was crap. There was hardly any cheese on this pizza and when I called to complain, the manager couldn't care less. I'll be ordering pizza elsewhere from now on. read more

Pretty good pizza. Like the crust. Cheese and sauce not full of flavor though. Wouldn't come back

Driver said he didn't have change, and he would come right back,,,, never saw him again. Thief!! The next time I ordered a meatball sandwich with cheese... it came with NO cheese, but I was charged for it! Also ordered Garlic Bread Supreme ....8 wedges of garlic bread. Only received 4 pieces and was told "cut them in half and you will have 8" F@#K Tobins!!!! read more

There's not enough family businesses like this one still around. It's really awesome to consider the generations that have gone through this place. And one step into the dining room and you'll see photographic evidence of that plastered on the walls. The pizza is a solid thin crust pie. I'm not a fan of the deep dish which I firmly believe is such a delicate process fewer places should try it. But you can't go wrong with a thin crust pizza and that "cracker"crust. They'll bring BBQ sauce out and yes, it's for the pizza regardless of toppings. The sides leave a lot to be desired ... salads are subpar, soda is RC not Coke or Pepsi, etc. But look, at the end of the day you're there for the famous thin crust and the nostalgia. read more

PIzza is always good. However, the decor is extremely outdated and gives the restaurant a shady feeling (minus one star). I shudder at the carpet on the walls. I can't imagine the germs.. Minus two stars for the owner dropping a fake spider from the ceiling at our table. Are you running a haunted house in March or a restaurant? read more

Short story... Ordered pizza for delivery hour and a half later NO PIZZA. I called back they tell me 5-10 minutes. 30 minutes later still no pizza. I call back again they tell me they never had my order. I ask for a manager, they said sorry for the mistake they put it down for pick up and that they would rush one out to me. PIZZA NEVER SHOWED UP!!! This is how you lose customers. Use to be a much better restaurant. read more

Awesome pizza. Great service. If you want a giant salad, order the super salad bowl. It's huge and delicious.

2nd time we have called for a large party; almost 35-40 people each time & Moe and his staff were MORE than accommodating. I spoke with Moe a few days before each visit & he explained what would be best for our money & all the options he had available. Can not say enough good things about this place; it was purely accidental that I found it & I can not wait to go back. Thank you Moe, wife & crew......Hersey High School cheer team thanks you as well! We invaded their space 2 times and can't wait to come back!! (and the pizza is AWESOME)!! read more

Old-school location and Bloomington institution. The regular pizza is very good, but the gluten free is terrible. Ordering is confusing unless you are "in the know" about the two brands of pizza on offer, and the people who answer the phones aren't very knowledgeable about their own menu - so, ask someone who knows, or just guess and hope for the best. read more

They serve some of the bettert tasting pizza in the Bloomington area, however they don't accept credit or debit cards and I seldom carry cash so this can be problematic. They will accept checks if you are local, though it takes them about a month to deposit it, for whatever reason. read more

We use to order from here all the time but not anymore. The customer service is horrible. We ordered a large delivery of wings instead of giving us the wing discount they charged us by the pound. It was an extra $8 dollars on an $80 order. That's not the only time we've had issues placing an order over the phone is like pulling teeth. Save your money. read more

I loved this place in college and was able to introduce my husband and his friends to this amazing pizza while in town for homecoming. We ordered the pork lovers, pepperoni, sausage, bacon and ham! Obviously not the healthiest choice but it was absolutely delicious! Not too greasy, perfect balance of meat and cheese and the crust is the perfect crispness. And obviously the special BBQ sauce they have on the tables is beyond perfection! read more

Really enjoyed the pizza here...which is a shame because today my boyfriend stopped in to follow up about a delivery job after applying through Indeed. The way that he was talked to and treated merely because of his piercings and tattoos was offensive and discriminatory. I am glad that we now know the type of person that was in charge today. Just because someone has tattoos and piercings does not mean they are a bad person. Has the management ever heard of not judging a book by its cover? None of the tattoos that he has are offensive and piercings can be removed. This was a 2nd job that he was trying to pick up btw. I really hope that everyone reads this so they know exactly what type of business they are spending their money at. Also if you have piercings and or tattoos beware they may turn you down as a customer as well. I know that we will be taking our business elsewhere. Thank you Tobins Pizza for showing your true colors today. read more

So the pizza is overrated. Born in NYC and raised in Chicago, I know pizza. I have friends in the area, and after Avantis and Gumbys, this place is probably some of the best pizza for a hundred miles. Does that mean much if that 100-mile radius has 200,000 total inhabitants? Well, I guess if you thrive in this college town I would recommend it, but including tip and this theoretical "deal" they had I couldn't justift the 30 bucks I spent. When canned mushrooms are used on a mushroom pizza, you are going to loose at least 2 stars. Not worth stopping out, unless you are stranded. Has a great "hometown" feel though. The fact that they had pizza from 4 makers (other companies merged with them) made the menu feel less personal, and a bit shady...Back to Chicago for me! read more

All over the place. Not really warm and welcoming. Waitress was fabulous but there is a disconnect between ownership and service. Seems like the full time LINE COOK is complacent and lazy. Ordered a side salad and asked for some pepperoncini's but somehow that was too difficult to add to a simple side salad. Waitresses walked out of the swinging doors with a strut of frustration easily laid to someone tossing dough with no reasonable thoughts of effort. Nickle'd and dimed all over. No real value. My name is Tobin; looked forward to posting great Facebook reviews based on my name and can say I won't be back. Even if offered, my opinion would be stop at the local Kroger for a frozen pizza rather than deal with the arrogance of someone who thinks effort stopped 15 years ago. read more

Greasy thin crust that is a local favorite in the twin city area. When visiting I try to hit this spot more for old time's sake, not so much because it is the best pizza in town. Prices aren't bad, and make sure you're going the correct direction on the one way street, even if you've had a few beers. read more

Some of my friends told me about this place. There aren't many great pizza places (or anything food related) in Bloomington. I didn't think their pizza was anything special. But the waitress that served my food was kind of a psychopath. She wouldn't leave alone and let me eat my food in peace. She came over to my table every two minutes and asked ton of questions on my personal life. It was very unpleasant and the food doesn't give a reason to take me back. read more

5/15/2020. 5:35pm. Just called to order a medium mushroom pizza for pickup. Price online was 10.85. Quoted me $14.00 with tax. Told them 10.85 with tax couldn't be that. Employee said she couldn't do anything but I could talk to a manager. I said that would be fine. Minutes later, a female got back on the line and said there was nothing she could do. I asked if she was the manager. It was the original person I spoke with who said her manager told her to tell me that. Told her there were all kinds of places I could get pizza from. Hey Tobin's, glad you're in such a great place to be able to blow off business during a pandemic! Lost a customer over a couple of bucks. read more
