goood pizza. Great poppers.

I know many people rave about the pizza here, but I really didn't see anything too special about it. It was a basic pizza, with nothing extra special to really impress me. Also, i...

Editorial review from GrubHub 8/28/2008

I ordered a pizza. After 90 minutes and no pizza I called the store. "He's just down the street", the guy tells me. 20 minutes later I call again. "He's stuck in traffic on Belmont", mind you it's a Tuesday night. 20 more minutes later and no pizza I call again. He says, "I'll send it right over". Order canceled. His response? "Call Grubhub". If you want a pizza, call a pizzeria that will deliver it. Renaldi's is not the place if you would like to have pizza delivered. Simple enough. more

My favorite thin crust pizza in Chicago, or anywhere else! 8/21/2008

The pizza here keeps me coming back. It is absolutely delicious! The Caesar salad is the best I've ever had too. The pizza does take a long time to make...at least half an hour, so be prepared for that. Since the food is amazing, I am willing to put up with the service, which is not very good. I wouldn't recommend take-out pizza, or pizza by the slice, it's just not the same as the fresh out of the oven. It's true that it doesn't reheat well too. You've got to try this pizza though, it's the best. Pros: The best thin crust pizza out there! Cons: The service is subpar. more

Avoid unless you want overpriced pizza/food and horrible service 3/17/2008

After running through the relatively good reviews about this pizza place, we decided to try it out. Being from out of town, we were all excited to have a taste of good Chicago pizza. But was greatly disappointed by the food and service! The slices of pizza were overpriced for their average quality and didn't reheat up great at all. Our party of five waited a good while for our food to come, despite the fact there wasn't even that many people in the place. The waitress neglected our drink refills and forgot our second orders. After giving us our food, the only time we saw her next was for the bill that ridiculously included the tip already (probably why she didn't feel the need to care). Definitely would not recommend! Cons: Food, service, tip policy more

One star is because I still love their pizza. Delivery took almost 90 minutes and then when they arrived they were missing part of my order. It then took an additional 30+ minutes to get the 2nd part of my order. The delivery driver was "shady" and they still took all my credit card information even though I paid on the website. If you want Renaldi's, go to the restaurant, don't get it delivery. more

Without a doubt the best thin pizza in Chicago! 6/30/2007

After stuffing myself full of food in this neighborhood - I was house sitting for the weekend - I called it a night by taking out a slice of pizza from Renaldi's. I've lived in Chicago for 5 years and haven't found a better piece (thin crust/new york style) of pizza though Piece competes admirably. Another person in my group had the deep dish and it wasn't as well received. Regardless, I'll be making my way back to Renaldi's on a regular basis! Pros: NY Style/Thinner Crust Pizza was Delicious!!! Cons: The counter person was off, parking could be tough, thick crust wasn't as well received though decent more

Great Thin Crust Pizza carryout is much faster 8/15/2006

Excellent quality, at fair price. Did have to wait over an hour for delivery when I live only 2 blocks away but when pizza did arrive it was hot like it just came out of oven. They also did advise me of how long it would take when placing the order, but I continue to order so it is well worth the wait. I also have dined in their dinning room which has a nice Italian ambience (including Soprano poster on wall). I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an exceptional thin crust pizza, with fresh ingredients. more

My favorite so far! 6/11/2006

Renaldi's thin crust pizza is to die for! I tried it for my first time today. I ordered spinach & chicken. The cheese was sooo good! As a pizza lover I am always critical of the sauce, but Renaldi's got it right!! I can't wait until I'm hungry again so I can have some delivered to me! Also, a side note: The ladies bathroom is immaculate and beautifully decorated. I'm sure guys don't care where they go but that's typically a big issue for women. So, girls, have no fear! LOL Pros: Great pizza! Great service! Great ambience! Cons: The prices are a tad too high. more

What can I say....horrible 2/4/2006

This place was one of the worst of chicago. The pizza...decent but pasta dishes overpriced. I ordered a seafood pasta for 16.00 and it came out with fake crab meat and no flavor whatsoever. Who charges that for seafood pasta then puts fake crab on it? There were mabe 3 small shrimps on it to boot. We brought in our entertainment coupon and the manager refused it saying he isn't honoring them and there was a ""sign"" on the door. I went to check and there was no sign. As I was walking in, here comes the manager with a freshly typed sign. Pros: the red sauce Cons: overpriced, rude management more

My favorite pizza in Chicago 8/11/2005

Alright, I think it's impossible to make claims that any place has the ""best pizza in Chicago,"" because, as we all know, everyone's taste is different. But I will say this: when my boyfriend moved out of this neighborhood, one of the biggest downsides was not having Renaldi's thin crust pizza with sliced tomatoes delivered once a week anymore. I can't say the ambience is so unusually wonderful at Renaldi's, and the service is hit-or-miss, but we simply don't care about that. We go for the pizza, plain and simple. We always get it the same way, and it is always equally wonderful. The crust is perfect, the sauce is perfect, the spices are perfect. I'm hooked. Now we drive seven miles and circle until we find parking. Is it worth it? Absolutely. Every time. more

Oh how I miss this place 6/14/2004

I've been eating at Renaldi's for the last 15 years. It is one of the things that I miss about leaving the Chicagoland area. Even when I moved to NW Indiana I made it a point to take a trip to the resturant ever 3 or 4 months. When I lived on the North Side I would stop by for a slice once ever week or so. Though it may not be for everyone, people that are used to frozen or chain pizza may not like Renaldi's. People that enjoy a good hand made pizza will love Renaldi's. The only thing that's a pain in the butt is finding parking. There is none in the area. You can pay for parking at the Century mall, but I've always been to cheap to pay so after 15 plus years I don't know what the parking rate there is. Pros: Taste, Price Cons: , Parking, Parking more

Renaldi's is one of my two favorite pizzerias. I don't mind the traveling (around 17 miles from my home) just to get their thin crust pizza. more
