Chris Szurgot: Best thin crust pizza in the world! Try half sausage half green peppers and onions. Also the free breadsticks are great if you dine in along with the homemade cream of potato soup
T: Everything is delicious! Pizza, beef, pasta. You cannot go wrong!
T: Everything is great here, especially the pizza!

Nathan Kam: On the black truffle potato soup course, leave the nail on the table. Trust me.
NikAroundChi: WOW! Impeccable service and some of the most amazing, creative, beautiful, exciting, fun and delicious food you will find anywhere in the world. Yum. Just go!
Travel Channel: Sardine sandwiches floating on titanium antennae, solidified olive oil -- Alinea may well be, and I do not say this lightly, the most important restaurant in America. -- Andrew Zimmern, Bizarre Foods
@nicoleyeary: as my first time, & it was cold out? The warm potato soup is great!
Tom H: Weekly Seafood specials! Snapper, Salmon, shrimp... always amazing!
Crain's Chicago Business: The menu looks tempting, but the kitchen too often plays it safe and middle-of-the-road. Read more.

Restaurant · East Garfield Park · 17 tips and reviews
Chicagoist: This spot serves up some of the best food in the city and not just for the price. Try their omelets, gumbo, and daily pancake and French toast specials which round out the short but sweet brunch menu. Read more.
Aviva Alter: Everything I ate was amazing, fried green tomatoes to basil lemonade
Kailei Carr: Loved the shrimp and grits and the poached pear pancakes.
Michael Chang: Most people choose My Pie for their excellent Chicago-style, deep-dish pizza. But don't overlook their thin, cracker-crust style pizza; depending on your preference, it could be the winning pie!
Brad Chmielewski: $7.25 Lunch Special - Slice, Small Salad & Drink.
Brad Chmielewski: Don't snooze on the smoothies!
Jenny Pfafflin: Be sure to visit the deli counter in the back to pick up some fresh feta; a dozen falafel; or a spinach-and-cheese and lamb pie (amongst others). Homemade lentil soup, too!
David Bell: Love the Baklava!
Darrell: The folks who work here are the nicest people on the planet. Really. The food is great, with a selection of fresh foods, grains, spices, and fruits. The people are better.

Pizzeria · Old Town · 36 tips and reviews
Cole Kennedy: Happy Camper is a good conundrum: It's a near perfect sports bar, but it's also a hip spot with great atmosphere, killer pizza and bar food, craft beer, and a dope soundtrack.
Eater: Many items are named after friends, saying spending time with your favorite pizza is as rewarding as spending time with a lovable pet. Like Josh: pulled pork, pineapples, jalapeños and barbecue sauce. Read more.

Jerry Mathis: Great place for a drink. The potato soup is really good as well
Josemiguel Davila: Awesome joint. Cool ambiance, a traditional Chicago pub with great music, awesome drinks and excellent ambiance.
Cole Kennedy: Saying that a sports bar has great nachos has to be the most abused superlative in restaurant history, but in this case, it's true. Get the chili nachos and be happy.
