Decided to order take-out after passing this place countless times. The pick-up was really quick. The order was ready in 13 minutes. They send a text when they confirm the order and when it is ready for pickup. … More

Absolutely loved our meal here! The spinach pesto pizza was bursting with flavor and the Parmesan garlic fries were perfectly crispy and delicious. The pizzas are generous in size and the crust is easily one of the best I’ve tasted. Can’t wait to come back for more! More

So sad they got rid of their chicken wings and homemade blue cheese dressing. This was honestly the best wing and blue cheese in the city... I was a big part of ordering here. We'd order more often if they had pineapple as an add on, we're … More

Would recommend! The place has a cool vibe inside and the workers were nice. We got a half cheese half sausage+pepperoni pizza, regular fries, and garlic parm fries. The pizza is a generous size. It says it feeds 2-3, my girlfriend and I … More

Bob really knows what he’s doing…that’s all I gotta say! The cheese pizza and pickle pizza are delicious (trust me on the pickle)! The wings are perfection, both the garlic and the hot flavors, and the salads-especially the arugula one-were … More

Bob's Pizza is great. We'll either start with the sausage pizza and add toppings (pictured) or get the pickle pizza which is surprisingly delicious. Pizza always tastes great but is very heavy. Hot wings were unfortunately too hot for my girlfriend; I liked them but likely will not order again (might try garlic parm though). More

Recommended by my manager, one of the great pizza places. They have speciality pizzas as well as you can make your own pizza. Nice quantity and amazing taste. They also offer BYOB if you want to get drinks.
They have 2 locations in Chicago: Pilsen and Old Town

The margarita pizza is amazing. The chicken sausage pizza is good. The beef pastrami would not recommend, the flavors did not work.
They have a great happy hour deal M-T that you can’t pass up. Looking forward to trying all the items in their specialty menu. More

Ordered a couple of pies yesterday. The pepperoni was good, especially since we added on mushrooms. The sausage, however, was the saddest sausage pizza I’ve ever seen. Where’s the beef? Guess who ended up with the slice with only one … More

Bob’s pizza serves their “Pilsen Style Pizza.” I tried the peperoni and cheese pizza. Their pizzas are 16 inches of flavor cut into 6 gigantic pieces. The hand stretched dough made it crispy with a good chew, which I would say is a … More

The pizza was great!! We got half mushroom and half garlic/basil. The crust is especially delicious. We also got the garden salad. The ingredients were extremely fresh. They also have top shelf ranch dressing. I’ll definitely be ordering from this establishment again soon. More

My husband and I went during the 4pm-5pm happy hour and ended up getting two larges for the price of one. It was super great pizza and we will be back again. (We did take it to-go so we can not vouch for the dine-in experience). We also tried the oatmeal cream pie, it was a bit dry but still pretty good. More

Some friends and I ordered takeout from Bob’s Pilsen location. The pizza is thin-crust like New York-style pizza, with a large puffy crust— it’s technically called “Pilsen-Style”. We ordered 3 pies— Korean BBQ Chicken, Spinach Pesto and … More
