Bacino's Pizzeria

My wife and I wanted to try a new place for pizza, and we came across Bacino’s. We ordered delivery (thin crust cheese pizza with giardinara & pepperoni), and it is one of the best pizzas in the city, if not the best. This will be our go-to pizza spot going forward, and I cannot wait to have it again!!

The thin crust pizza is really delicious. On our last visit, we ordered a medium Bacino's special/plain cheese (50%/50%) and unfortunately, we were not told up front that they have to charge us the individual topping price for each of the ingredients (peppers, onions, sausage, mushrooms) even though there's a price listed for the specialty pizza called "Bacino's special." They could have still charged us for a full Bacino's special (when they only put the toppings on 50% of the pizza and come out ahead). It was a bit dishonest, in my opinion. To be fair, there is a note on the menu that no modifications are accommodated on the specialty pizzas (nevertheless, I would have never imagined that their POS system cannot accommodate charging it as a 100% Bacino's special). I'll still go back because their food is great, the atmosphere is casual and unpretentious and they have a rotating beer selection on tap (though, I won't make the mistake of ordering a specialty pie and customizing it).

Ordered the Bacino's stuffed special, thin crust BBQ chicken, a pepperoni pizza, and a bunch of garlic/cheesy bread. The food won't win awards from fancy judges, but it's great in that "local place around the corner" feeling. I prefer the stuffed crust over Giordano's. Parking is tricky since it's on the end of a triangle corner block so try to park a block away and just walk.

Hear ye! Hear ye! My life has forever been changed since my first bite of Bacino's pizza. DO NOT take this as satire. I would give my firstborn to Bacino's if it helped their cause. Whatever you do, make sure put giardinara on the pizza or you will be sorry! Seriously though it is really really really good.

Took The Fiancee, the Daughter and the Granddaughter here for dinner. Best Deep Dish in the city! Bar none. Incredible service- Skylar was the consumate professional, and attended to every need. I've been eating here, irregularly, since the 1970s. Nearly every time we make the trip anywhere near Lincoln Park, it culminates in supper at Bacino's.
