Okay!! So the first time I had Bob's pizza was yearsss ago (~2021?) at Recess. I remember trying…read morethis pizza sitting on the patio, and immediately falling in love! Flash forward, I stopped seeing Bob's pizza on the Recess menu and had almost forgotten about it until I moved to Old Town this year. Convenient... right down the street from Bob's! A girlfriend and I ordered a pepperoni pizza to split on a Friday night in. We were surprised there was only one size, but it ended up being perfect for two! I even had it as a leftover slice the next day and it was just as good. Next time I NEED to try the pickle pizza- the photos look incredible and it sounds like something right up my alley :). I will be sure to update the review when I try it!

Trying authentic Chicago deep-dish pizza was at the top of my list, and Lou Malnati's did not…read moredisappoint! This was my very first Chicago deep-dish pizza experience, and now I understand why everyone talks about it. The buttery crust, layers of cheese, flavorful sauce, and generous toppings made every bite worth the wait. One thing I would definitely recommend is making a reservation if you can. This place is popular for a reason! We waited a little over 35 minutes for a table, but luckily a couple of spots opened up at the bar, and we grabbed them right away. The atmosphere was lively, the staff was friendly, and the pizza was everything I hoped it would be.

3.5 stars went on a…read morefriday at around 8:30 and wait was 45 mins, however due to some cancellations, we were seated in about 5 mins. pizza takes ~45 mins to cook so if you're hungry, be sure to pack a snack or something while you wait. the bruschetta was SO GOOD, honestly the highlight of the meal for me - tomatoes are plump and fresh and the balsamic glaze was really vibrant. garlic bread was perfect accompaniment. we ordered two personal sized pizzas - the lou and chicago classic. i personally liked the lou better - the spinach and tomatoes really shined. the classic was just okay to me and the cheese wasnt flavorful. menu also said they had a famous buttery crust but it wasnt that buttery imo. the crust lowkey tasted better the next day. service was great!! shoutout felix, you had such great energy. inside had lots of sports decor and had mainly hightops. the host stand area was a little congested bc right next to it was the pick up orders. overall, an easy intro into Chicago food!

We had to wait for our server but it was super busy on a Friday night especially in the summer!

My hubby & I treated our "sudden" guests from Paraguay to deep dish pizza on Thursday (6/18). Due…read moreto all the hype I've heard and read for a couple years about Pequod's in Lincoln Park, we took them there. We still prefer Lou Malnati's, hands down. Hubby & I shared a salad... I make better salads and dressings! We ordered a large pan pizza which was overly salty with burnt crust edges. The cheese and tomato sauce were really good, but the saltiness killed it for me. The place was packed and very noisy. Not sure if it was quieter on the second floor. When you have lots of customers, it's important to have a system of checking the status of the restrooms very often. They were quite neglected. We often have out-of-town and foreign guests to host and show off our city to. We always include a deep dish pizza meal for their experience, and usually at Lou Malnati's. Always a great experience, especially the branch in downtown Naperville- consistently good. And Lou's really makes the best salad than anywhere! Sometimes for a potluck contribution I just pick up a Lou's salad, guaranteed to make everyone happy. However, our guests enjoyed the pizza and dessert; thus, I can give 3 stars for our experience at Pequod's.

After another summer of eating the delightful pizzas at this rolling oven cart, I have to update…read morethe level of superlative in my last review. This isn't JUST the best hot food at the farmers market, it's probably the best pizza in the city of Chicago -- better than Coalfire, better than Spacca Napoli, better than Piece, better than the deep-dish places too, just for good measure. I won't say that it is the only reason we drag ourselves out of bed on Saturday mornings to hike two miles to the farmers market, but it is the biggest reason. It's worth the line, worth the wait, worth arriving early. And they do have a knack for odd but excellent combinations -- this morning was corn and jalapano and ham and egg, which my wife liked even though she doesn't like breakfast pizzas; another classic has been peach and pepperoni, which I liked even though I don't like fruit anywhere near my savory foods. These people know what they are doing, and what they are doing is making painfully amazing pizza.

I almost don't want to review Nomad because I want more of this pizza for me…read more Every time I order something from Nomad, my tastebuds raise their standards. Had many pizzas this summer, with many wonderful fresh and delicious toppings. I always try something out of the ordinary and have yet to be let down. Sweet summer peaches, fresh spicy chili peppers, salty cured ham? Heck yeah. Black and white pizza? I think it's entered my dreams. You'll likely have to wait if you're getting it at the market. But, unlike many disappointing food queues in this city, you will not be left wanting.

(Kari's Rating 9.25/10)…read more I have been to this restaurant, probably four or five times on dates, with friends and with my parents. It is absolutely worth it every single time. We came in around 7 o'clock on a rainy Wednesday evening. I didn't expect it to be crowded, but I was surprised that I got a text saying our table was ready at 6:50. Once seated, we ordered an apple spritz and an amaretto sour. I know amaretto hours are relatively standard, but this one comes in a pretty large 16 ounce water glass! It was enough where my friend and I had to split and it was absolutely delicious. The waiter then came back to drop off some bread and water, and then quickly came back for us to place our order. We both are feeling pasta cause it was a little rainy out and we ordered the Fusilli alla Topo Gigio and I had wanted the Conchiglie alla Sarda, but I think I got the noodles, confused and accidentally ordered the Garganelli con le Luganighe. I had the fusilli before and the velvety sauce coats the noodle shape perfectly. I would've preferred the Conchiglie, but the Garganelli sufficed. It was a little bit oily, and I don't care for the noodle shape, but that was totally my fault. Overall, it was a very delicious dinner. I just wish I had not messed up the pasta names haha! The service was pretty quick as we stayed for about an hour. I would definitely come back and also living relatively close, this is usually my go to Italian place for both authenticity as well as convenience.
