What People Are Saying About Pat's Pizza

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

In Short – For appetizers, garlic bread is light on garlic and covered with melted cheese. Northern Italian-style pasta dishes are served in huge portions. Pat's Special pizza (sausage, mushrooms, green peppers and onions) is mix of flavors; the crispy, paper-thin crust is suitable for single toppings, too.

NOT Kid Friendly

by NeighborhoodMom at Citysearch

We have been going to Pat's every Friday night since our son was 9 months old. He is almost 2 now. We have loved this place but have to post a negative review due to our experience last night. We had grandma and uncles in for a celebration dinner and we went to Pat's because the pizza is usually good and we thought it was child friendly. We arrived a little later than usual - 6 pm - but still managed to get through our meal quickly. Any parent with a 2 year old knows you don't linger over a late dinner. It was about 7:15 and we were almost done with our meal. We were waiting for our coffee and dessert when the owner came to our table and said she had received complaints about our child and could we please leave! That's right - the owner kicked out our party of 6 that was about to leave anyway and blamed it on the child. So not only did they kick us out but they insulted our child in the process. This place is casual, it was only 7:15 in the evening and our child is a normal 2 year old. Yes, he was screaming now and then. So was another child in the restaurant. In fact, 75% of the tables had children at them. And we weren't those kinds of parents that were letting our child misbehave. He is 2. We can't muzzle him. We were doing our best. We had gone to dinner at an early hour, we didn't linger over our meal and we have been regulars at this place for some time. So this is a warning to families: if your children are not in complete control all the time - and whose are - DON"T GO HERE. There are plenty of good pizza places within blocks of this place. Why give your business to a place that would do something like this? Go down the street to Malnati's or Gino's East.

  • Pros: Nice waitstaff
  • Cons: Kicked us out because of our 2 year old

Delicious, fast, and great for kids

by UrbanMom2 at Citysearch

We come here all the time with our son (now 19 months). The staff is fast, polite, and low-key. They are very kid-friendly (highchairs, crayons and paper, covered water cups with straws), and there is rarely a wait (especially if you go early, like 5:30pm). Pizza is delicious and the restaurant isn't too noisy.

OK service, but sub-par thin crust pizza

by orchidsky at Citysearch

I ordered a thin crust two-topping pizza for delivery. The pizza was delivered promptly, in just over 30 minutes. Unfortunately, although the pizza was still hot and looked good, it really didn?t taste very good. The sauce was very bland. There was also so much sauce that it made the thin crust moist. The toppings were very good and the cheese was average. Overall the pizza was bland (maybe due to lack of seasoning) and flimsy. I have lived a four large cities and this was not a good thin crust pizza. I?m fairly certain it was not the best in Chicago. I hate to say this, but Domino?s thin crust is better. Good service + lots of bland sauce + little seasoning = average pizza. Maybe the restaurant experience makes the pizza seem better, but don't place your order expecting top notch thin crust pizza.

Call ahead

Best thin crust pizza in town and great food overall. However the hours of operation on this site are all wrong. They are not open for lunch. Call ahead before you go to insure they are open.
