Bonci Pizza — Bucktown italian that sets the standard. Order the Pizza. Expect something different from the standard lineup. Julie: "The ingredients were very fresh, the crust was thin and crispy and the topping were high quality and unique"

“At the same time, the burrata basil and lemon ricotta zucchini, cacao e Pepe, and spicy eggplant are my favorites with their incredible flavors”

“Absolutely delicious pizza, my favorite.”
Absolutely delicious pizza, my favorite. The staff is always kind. Simple sweet. Pay by the weight after you tell them more or less pizza slice 😇😋. I got the meatball, spicy eggplant, and I have tried the mushroom sausage. All so good, just depends what you got a taste for. Can't go wrong. The desserts were even very delicious and not overly sweet. I tried the lemon cello cake and tiramisu. Yummy.

“We have been passing by this pizza place for ever and finally stopped in.”
We have been passing by this pizza place for ever and finally stopped in. It’s unique how you buy the slice by weight and can mix and match different pizzas. My wife and I loved it and will be back. The Burratta and Basil is AMAZING

“BONCI PIZZA is unique with original pizza combos and worth every dollar.”
BONCI PIZZA is unique with original pizza combos and worth every dollar! We tried an assortment of pizzas. It was so much fun to explore the different combinations that BONCI creates! I highly recommend the lemon and ricotta pizza. (Note- different pizzas are served daily with a few repeats of the most popular. And the price is according to weight, not per slice.) The late food critic, Anthony Bourdain, featured their Bonci Italian restaurant on his show- and raved about them as having one of the best pizza places he had ever visited. We will be back! This place is a MUST DO if you are visiting Chicago or live locally!

“Omar is the manager of the place, he made sure our food was well served and warm.”
Omar is the manager of the place, he made sure our food was well served and warm. great customer service! And the pizzas were 10/10. We were happy to learn that there’s no pork in their pizzas! Will come again to this location ♥️

“Absolutely blown away by this pizza.”
Absolutely blown away by this pizza. Some of the best I’ve had in my LIFE. The crust is fluffy and crunchy, amazing variety, great customer service. I think anyone who left a bad review, didn’t ask them to warm the pizza up because there is no way you can say this is not good pizza. 10/10 will be back again and again

“Incredible pizza for this style.”
Incredible pizza for this style. Don’t come here expecting Neapolitan or American style pizza. This is a unique type of pizza where you can sample smaller bites of all the various flavors. Highly recommend you check this place out.

“Bonci, a personal favorite despite not every pizza hitting the mark for me, offers a unique pizza experience.”
Bonci, a personal favorite despite not every pizza hitting the mark for me, offers a unique pizza experience. Their ever-changing selection ensures a diverse range of options throughout the day. At the same time, the burrata basil and lemon ricotta zucchini, cacao e Pepe, and spicy eggplant are my favorites with their incredible flavors! One thing that keeps me hooked is their rotating pizza menu, ensuring a variety of choices every visit. Although some slices like the arugula burrata, margarita, and four cheese aren’t my favorite, they have many options! They've got this excellent setup where they offer up a bunch of different pizzas, then they slice them up to whatever size you're feeling and warm it up just before they serve it. It's like a pizza paradise where you can try a little bit of everything without committing to a whole pie. The ambiance leans more towards takeout, but they do offer limited seating for a dine-in experience. The service is also fantastic - they are super friendly! I'm excited to keep coming back to Bonci, exploring their ever-changing array of pizzas, and discovering new favorites.

“Welcome to the neighborhood.”
Welcome to the neighborhood! We've gotta support this pizzeria everybody. I've been living nearby for 15 years and seen a fair share of businesses go in and out of that space but this is one that I love and feel like should last. The Pizza is amazing and there are always a bunch of options. I really like that there is very little waiting and the pay by the price system is perfect because you can try several kinds without breaking the bank. The only thing that I don't really love is the no cash payment situation. I have cards but I feel like there is a population out there that this new way out business is going to exclude. Great restaurant though!

“Excellent pizza served in an open space with shaded patio seating.”
Excellent pizza served in an open space with shaded patio seating. Pizza is bready yet crispy, cheesy yet light. And tons of topping combinations to choose from. Highly recommend the meatball and sausage slices, all of which are sliced to your preference and are priced by weight. The freshness will stare you in the face as you order - employees are hand kneading the dough and baking it all day long. Service could be more friendly but you come here for the one of a kind pies. This place belongs in Chicago pizza lore, it’s that good.
