“The best pizza I have ever had. I love the Ninja Turtle theme. The Street Shark pizza is amazing. You can get different slices of pizza to try them all. When I'm back in Chicago, this is a must stop.”
“Tried Cowabunga! Pizza Pies in Bridgeport and it’s such a fun spot for kids. Huge NY-style slices packed with flavor for around $8-9 a slice. There’s only a couple picnic tables outside, so maybe not ideal for big groups, but there’s a park nearby which makes it easy with kids. The pizza was really good, the vibe was fun, and my kids loved it. we will definitely be back!”
“Cool little place, pizza is good with crazy names for each pizza. Friendly staff”
“Absolutely awesome experience at Cowbunga in Chicago. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was fun and energetic, and the staff was top-notch from start to finish. Everything was hot, fresh and packed with flavor. You can tell they actually care about the quality and the customer experience instead of just pumping people through the door. Definitely one of those places you leave already talking about coming back to. Easy 5 stars across the board.”
“We came here for a birthday dinner. We're old men these days, celebrating our 41st birthdays. Been life long Ninja Turtle fans. The atmosphere of this place is phenomenal! Seeing all the toys, and figures, and old school games and stuff was awesome. The staff were super friendly and really helpful. They did run out of soft serve ice-cream while we were there, but offered a suitable replacement. Little bit of a wait on our pizza, but honestly, we didn't even notice until they came out with it and apologized for the wait. Haha. The pizza was fantastic. Perfect large floppy slices. We fed 4 people with one pizza. It was a good time. Highly recommend.”
“Woah. Was not expecting to find such a gem of a place! You ever think of in your head what a pizza should taste like? I feel like this is it. Its just so tasty and not overly complicated! I think this is gonna be my new go-to place for pizza! The owner of the place was also so friendly which made it an even more pleasant experience”
“Servers are super cool, chill vibe, awesome atmosphere and decor, and the pizza here is amazing! Favs are the Donatello and the Cowabunga Special! A must in Chicago :)”
“Even if you’re not a turtles fan (weird but it’s ok hehe) you should still come here for the PIZZA! It is truly a 10/10 slice if you like New York style and quality ingredients! 🍕 I tried the buffalo pizza and barbecue chicken while my husband tried the cheese and the white pizza. Honestly you guys this is a spot worth the drive, worth the price, and the young lady working was so nice and pleasant. 10/10 will return! 🫶🏼 thank you! 🙏”
“Great Place , Great Pizza 🍕 and a super Great nostalgic feeling, Staff Is Awesome Definitely going back for another pie in the Future”
“Everything here is amazing. The food is exceptional, the theme is super fun, and the staff was incredibly friendly. They have a rewards program, and it's totally worth it. I will be going here often! The Master Splinter and Surf Ninja were incredible, and the Cowabunga Special was extremely good as well!”
