What 676+ diners say about Punky's Pizza & Pasta

Currently obsessed w Punky’s Pizza. Last week I ordered a Caesar salad, pepperoni pizza, antipasto salad, and their tomato basil soup with homemade garlic croutons…and every single bite was fantastic. You can taste the fresh ingredients in everything. The soup in particular was ridiculously good. I loved it so much I ended up ordering again within the same week. Punky’s Pizza is a MUST TRY.

“Went here with a friend for the first time and the girl working at the register made the best suggestions.”

Went here with a friend for the first time and the girl working at the register made the best suggestions. I got a wrap that she always gets and let me tell you it was delicious!!! New favorite spot. I got the chicken bacon ranch wrap and it was huge.

“We love the food at this place.”

We love the food at this place. Emphasis on the wraps. They are damn good. The pizza will fill a craving if you have one but it’s fine. The white boy at the counter who’s always there is one of the least friendly people. Doesn’t say anything to you, emotionless. Actually no one says anything or makes eye contact really, bizarre. It’s okay though because I love the wraps, but a hi would be cool lol

“The pizza here is awesome.”

The pizza here is awesome. It has a very authentic Chicago feel to it. Everything is reasonable priced and the atmosphere of the restaurant is diner style. Would recommend.

“Love their food!”

Love their food!! Everything I have tried is fresh and delicious. I strongly suggest the carrot cake, lemon chicken sandwich, wraps and I guess everything on the menu! 😂 The staff is super friendly.

“My pot roast sandwich is huge and delicious with lots of meat.”

My pot roast sandwich is huge and delicious with lots of meat. The food came very fast. A especially sweet young lady there brought extra napkin and plates for kids with a smile. Street parking is easy.

“Great place to eat if you're in/near Chinatown (and want Italian food).”

Great place to eat if you're in/near Chinatown (and want Italian food)! Our bill consisted of Stuffed Gnocchi with garlic bread, cheese pizza slice and homemade potato chips. One of the best pizza slices I've had in a long time. And the homemade potato chips were AMAZING! Definitely worth the stop and will be back again.

“My first time ordering from her through Doordash.”

My first time ordering from her through Doordash. The 16"large sausage pizza with extra sausage and spinach was absolutely delicious. And the chocolate connoli was good as well

“The place was very homey and quiet.”

The place was very homey and quiet. The servings are huge 😊 We ordered bacon chicken wrap and breaded porkchop sandwich. Both are palate satisfying. The only thing that I would suggest from the place is a friendly smile from the employees ♥️ but the experience was good though. We will definitely go back and try others from their menu 😊😊😊

“Got delivery from here in a Friday night.”

Got delivery from here in a Friday night. Totally average food, people hype it up because it’s tavern style and because of the CCSW (chicken Caesar salad wrap). I didn’t get the CCSW though. I got the eggplant parm sandwich, which was fine, lacked depth, but it was a very simple eggplant parm. My partner got the stuffed gnocchi, and mozzarella sticks. He liked the gnocchi, the mozzarella sticks were fine, frozen to fryer style. We also got the pepperoni pizza, it was spongier than tavern style, cheesy, overall fine. All was just okay.
