Bacino's — reliable italian in Lincoln Park. Walk in and you know immediately: this place is real. You're eating the real thing here. Brett Pellissier: "The crust is perfectly baked—crispy outside and soft inside—while the gooey cheese and fresh toppings"

It wasn't very good. I'm surprised by the good reviews.

“Great restaurant with reasonable prices.”
Great restaurant with reasonable prices. We started with an Order of garlic bread with cheese and the Garden Salad. We ordered a large Bacino’s Special Stuffed Pizza, expect a 35 to 40 minute wait, a great homemade stuffed pizza is well worth the wait!! The stuffed pizza sauce.was amazing! Our waitress was nice and service was great! They have 10+ types of popular beer choices, and a few wine choices. This a small wonderful mom and pop business. Come one, come all!

“We first heard about Bacino’s from a young man from Chicago who was teaching English in Taipei, our hometown.”
We first heard about Bacino’s from a young man from Chicago who was teaching English in Taipei, our hometown. When he found out we were planning a trip to Chicago, he insisted that we had to try Bacino’s pizza. So here we are. We were blown away by the stuffed pizza. We tried the Spinach Supreme and Bacino’s Special—both were generously portioned and absolutely delicious. We had the pleasure of chatting with John, the gentleman who served us, who turned out to be the owner. He was very hospitable and welcoming. John gave us great recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. To our surprise, just before we left, he gifted us two Bacino’s T-shirts as souvenirs. It’s easy to find a restaurant with nice food in a big city like Chicago, but it’s not easy to find one with such a human touch like Bacino’s. We definitely plan to come back to Chicago—for the tasty pizza and for John.

It has been there for over 40 years, but in my humble opinion, the best deep dish pizza in Chicago. Don't get me wrong, there are many great Chicagonstyle pizza places, but Bacino' s Spinach Deep Dish is still the top of the crop! For some extra flavors, add some mushrooms.

Had the homemade cheese ravioli and wow it was out of this world amazing and the fresh warm bread was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend I will definitely be back again. This was my 1st time here, so glad our previous choice had a long wait time which made us look up open places in our area. Super Happy we came and tried this restaurant. Everything tasted delicious.

“Ordered the Bacino's stuffed special, thin crust BBQ chicken, a pepperoni pizza, and a bunch of garlic/cheesy bread.”
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.

“Best stuffed pizza in the city.”
Best stuffed pizza in the city. The bar needs to be stocked better, as they were missing several ingredients for simple drinks (no olives for a martini???) but when you do something as well as they do their stuffed pizza, I can overlook just about anything.
