Lockal Bar & Pizzeria — solid, no-fuss italian in Albany Park. Order the Pizza, and moves fast. Mitchell Jones: "The sauce was rich and tangy while the crust was firm, with that slight char taste you want from a bar pizza"

“Def recommend if you're in the neighborhood and looking for a place to grab a few pints”
Chemicals and frozen Sysco food. Not it.
This place is an absolute disgrace.
Most of the times there are people here that know the owner and in part feel that they are owners themselves and get carried away with the music that should be played here.

I’ve ordered delivery from here several times when hosting and it’s always a hit! Their pizzas are amazing and the quality for the price is unmatched!

“This place is a great neighborhood spot.”
This place is a great neighborhood spot. The pizza is a treat. We ordered sausage, green pepper and jalapeños. The sausage looks hand made and with good portions. Our server was so pleasant and the pizza came out quickly. Thin crust and saucy. Definitely worth a return visit!

“Great prices and food, European style cafe where you can get coffee, alcoholic beverages and food.”
Great prices and food, European style cafe where you can get coffee, alcoholic beverages and food. Pizza with hot honey is my favorite. Recently tried the Mezze platter, which was a generous portion and very tasty. Espresso is better than many fancy Italian restaurants!

“Crazy 🤪 good food 😋 The bartender recommended the Smoked Balkan Beef and Jalapeño pizza 🍕 Crazy Good.”
Crazy 🤪 good food 😋 The bartender recommended the Smoked Balkan Beef and Jalapeño pizza 🍕 Crazy Good. Was not expecting to like it at all but it was amazing. I'm not into spicy foods but it was a really good balance. It was a real chill spot. Great service and once again the food is on point. Play some pool, watch a game, or chill with friends. This will be a regular go to for me a friends.

“Great food, fast service.”
Great food, fast service. The lockal pool players are quite good. Def recommend if you're in the neighborhood and looking for a place to grab a few pints. Really fair prices. I'm loving their new menu. The buffalo hot wings are a great price and really tasty. -- The pizza is great and so are the burgers! I just tried their wings with coleslaw and oh my gosh! Most places coleslaw turns me off because it's very sweet and not made themselves. Pairing the 8 buffalo wings bone in with bleu cheese and coleslaw was a home run! I couldn't get enough of the combo. Me finishing a side of coleslaw rarely happens but I ate them both to completion. I'll add photos of it down below.

“Small bar, with a pool table and they have cocktails and appetizers.”
Small bar, with a pool table and they have cocktails and appetizers. $3 dollar domestic bottled beer. Also, great bartenders, will definitely be coming back to this dive bar.

“ordered directly from the restaurant and it was still delivered by DoorDash.”
ordered directly from the restaurant and it was still delivered by DoorDash. I hate that why would I bother ordering directly knowing that DoorDash delivers and doesn’t care about the food. If I knew I would have ordered directly from DD and saved the $5 delivery fee. Also the pizza was very light on toppings. Basically one piece of sausage per slice. That is NOT a tavern pizza.

Have ordered from here a number of times off UberEats, highly recommend Lockal over the typical delivery chains (especially Rosati's, ew). Well executed tavern style pizza, I would say they go slightly heavier on the cheese and sauce than most places but that's not a downside at all. The sauce is tangy and the crust still retains a nice crisp and char. Cevapi, smoked Balkan meats and stuffed olives are all wonderfully unique savory pizza toppings. I really love this place and they're almost always running a deal! Will have to drop in sometime and grab a beer. Albany Park is the best neighborhood in the city by a mile.

“Ordered a large sausage and onion pizza to go after discovering this place on a neighborhood food crawl.”
Ordered a large sausage and onion pizza to go after discovering this place on a neighborhood food crawl. Really great tavern style pizza at a reasonable price. Thin and crispy crust with ample sauce. The sausage comes in large chunks so you might get a square here and there that might not have any on it, but the flavor more than makes up for that. Wings were a little soggy, but that might just be a result of not traveling well. Really tasty seasoned fries!
