“Flo & Santos perfectly blends classic Chicago flavors with Polish comfort food, creating a dining experience that's both unique and memorable. The thin-crust pizza is crispy, flavorful, and has just the right balance of sauce, cheese, and toppings. The pierogi are equally delicious, offering a hearty twist that sets this restaurant apart from the usual pizza spots. It's the perfect place to grab a beer, share a pizza with friends, and try something a little different from the menu. The atmosphere is relaxed yet lively, making it ideal for casual dinners, game nights, or simply catching up with friends. With great food, a welcoming vibe, and its own distinct Chicago character, Flo & Santos is a place I would gladly recommend and visit again.”
“A great sports bar with quality food. Two spacious bars. They have a fantastic outdoor space between the buildings that doubles the seating.”
“Flo & Santos is definitely in my top 3 spots for thin crust pizza in Chicago. The crust is exactly how it should be- crispy and truly thin, not that thick “thin” some places try to pass off. True Chicagoans will know what I mean! They’re generous with toppings, the service is always quick, and the bartender is super friendly and attentive, never letting our drinks run dry. A perfect neighborhood spot that keeps us coming back. Also some of the best onion rings I’ve ever had!”
“Nice spot. So so packed though, our wait was insane but was able to find seating at the bar. Service was ok, but they only had one bartender so hardly his fault. Seemed underprepared for a very busy weekend late lunch/early dinner crowd. Pizza was VERY good!”
“Pizza was good, pretzel was enormous and tasty, all around a win for eating with kids.”
“Allāh ﷻ has prohibited alcohol. Believe in Allāh & His Messengerﷺ and He will give you a great reward. There are still some things to appreciate about Flo & Santos, even if it missed the mark. The pizza wasn't as tasty as expected, and no one liked the "Polish pizza" with pork that we didn't touch. Appetizer portions were small. The service was a bit so-so, but the staff maintained a polite demeanor despite the busy environment. The music was loud and a bit annoying and made it hard to hear others in our large party. Flo & Santos is a passable place for anyone looking to enjoy a meal in alignment with their values. Also the tables and chairs were small. With a few changes, this lively spot could easily become a favorite.”
“Here’s a polished, balanced review: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5) We stopped by Flo & Santos on the Fourth of July to grab a meal. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere, but overall the food and service were fairly average—nothing particularly memorable. I ordered the spinach pizza. It wasn’t very flavorful and could have used a bit more seasoning or spice, but I did appreciate that it wasn’t overly greasy, which made it feel like a lighter, less guilty way to enjoy pizza. We also tried one of their grilled sandwiches with fries. The sandwich was decent, and the fries were surprisingly good. I especially liked that neither the bread nor the fries were loaded with butter or oil like they often are at many other restaurants. It was refreshing to have a meal that didn’t feel overly heavy. Overall, Flo & Santos is a decent option if you’re looking for a lighter, less greasy meal, but don’t expect anything exceptional in terms of flavor or service.”
“Phil's hot heat. Whipped ricotta, pepperoni, hot honey. Honey was not very spicy, pepperoni was good, didnt see any ricotta unless it's under the other cheese. Was looking forward to contrast between heat and ricotta, got no heat and no ricotta instead. Crust was good and crunchy. 27 dollars.”
“Where else can you get pierogi and pizza? The thin crust pizza is excellent with good crisp and the pierogi are yummy too”
