“We've been to New York before, and we felt like we were back there, the pizza was delicious and I loved the addition of parmesan and chili flakes to make the flavour even better”
first of all, they were out of deep dish, so had to get a ny slice, which was not even a ny slice!
Sad little man behind the counter crying himself out of business. Got berated for ordering 8 slices like its my problem.
Decent NY style slices for a truly unbeatable price, but the guy working there was so rude.

“Kung Fu Pizza Bar is a must-taste.”
Kung Fu Pizza Bar is a must-taste! Don't let the walk-up window fool you—it's a busy spot, and I'm so glad I decided to read the reviews to help me find the place. This is a one-man show, and the owner is incredible. The pizza is delicious... it's so popular they even run out, especially the deep dish! I love the cool action figures and collectibles on display in the window, but the best part has to be the fortune cookie for me. Highly recommend this hidden gem with affordable slices and a no-nonsense vibe.

“5$ for 2 slices and a 12oz soda.”
5$ for 2 slices and a 12oz soda. Unbeatable deal in Chicago. Is it the best quality pizza in Chicago? No. But that's not important when you're paying 2.50 a slice. It's a good quality slice for a hilariously cheap price. How does this place exist? One guy owns and operates the place, you can only order through a tiny little window, no inside. Stand on the corner and enjoy life. Go here. Come back. Support this guy!

“Super nice guy working solo.”
Super nice guy working solo. Amazing pizza for such a great price. He does warm up the individual pizza slices so you get them warm! And fortune cookies with your pizzas! Just try it out!

“Pizza is something I crave daily bc in nyc you can get a slice of pizza for $1 - $5 at mostly anytime.”
Pizza is something I crave daily bc in nyc you can get a slice of pizza for $1 - $5 at mostly anytime. Today was one of those days at 10pm in Chicago. So Kung Fu Pizza Bar is directly across the street from the Division Blue CTA line. And the bus is also right here on the same side steps away. The actual door is closed bc it’s like Covid era ordering … just through the window :-) It’s funny bc of all the ramen bags that decorate the window and the star wars memorabilia and Asian figurines and candy bags. The guy who owns it didn’t speak a word after we knocked on the window as advised on his piece of paper, we said “hello” and ordered the $5 cheese and pepperoni pizza w a can of soda which ended up being $6 without him saying anything or a receipt given bc he gave us $4 back from a $10 so I guess tax was 20% but we didn’t expect that bc sales tax is 10% in Chicago. The paper sign notes it’s five dollars plus tax but It doesn’t say taxes 20%. So I wish he would’ve communicated or at least put it on the paper that is going to be a total of $6 including tax or just make it a flat rate of $6 or a $5 flat fee. We still said “thank you” after getting the order and still we heard nothing. The guy doesn’t practice customer service or even speak a word in response to our “hello” or “thank you” at least on 10/17/25 for our transaction. If you are a business owner it would be a nice practice to also say a reply of “hello” and “thank you” (for a customers patronage). If customers say nothing but the order I could understand the dead silence but it felt weird and awkward that we might as well have ordered from a kiosk in Japan where it’s just a robot or a vending machine :-). At the end of the day my hunger was satiated, it was $6 and it included a soda or water, and the pizza was good enough. I would def return in another late night hunger escape from the monotony of eating leftovers at home. We would have appreciated a reply of hello back and maybe just a word however. Cool decorations of ramen bags and we fantasized that he was watching anime or a movie in between customers lol. Oh and we loved the fortune cookies that came w the pizza! First time ever in my life. It was definitely an interesting experience like none other. No nonsense … just get your soup as in Seinfeld :-).

“2 slices of pizza for $5 is a great deal.”
2 slices of pizza for $5 is a great deal. In a convenient location near everything in wicker park. Service was quick, note there was no one in line in front of me.

“Can’t beat the price and ease of walk-up service.”
Can’t beat the price and ease of walk-up service. Hilarious that you get fortune cookies. Pizza is interesting. It’s greasy. Oddly, it meets my number one rule: it must hold the fold. The sauce is different. It’s lacking in an undercarriage - I expect a crispier bottom with some char. The crust is really small. Source: pizza snob from NYC

first of all, they were out of deep dish, so had to get a ny slice, which was not even a ny slice!! Dough tasted like cardboard and was dry 😭 also, no napkins or cheese and pepper on the side. Oh and they didn’t give us a drink even though we paid for the combo!! The person attending us was also rude. Do not come. Cheap though, but like not even $1 per slice… 😂😂😂 also it’s a walk up and take out only

“I don’t know how to explain it, but this pizza is perfect.”
I don’t know how to explain it, but this pizza is perfect. Crispy yet doughy crust. Tangy sauce in the best proportion. It’s like a dream of the perfect pizza in the late 80s early 90s. The owner/operator is a curt man. Know what you want to order and order it. It’s affordable and special. Rock on.
