“It was certainly worth the wait for the wood-fire pizza which was my fault (arrived too early and takes about an hour after opening for oven to reach cooking temp). While I waited, I ordered their SOB breakfast sandwich (sauasage, egg, cheese on brioche) which was very tasty, just a bit over-salted. But paired it with their drip coffee. Finally, the hot honey hustle wood-fire pizza was presented and it was exactly what I was expecting. A well-seasoned sweet heat with savory pepperoni on nicely charred dough. The chew was on point and the fresh ingredients amazing! Let the pizza rest for about 10 minutes or so to adhere the cheese to the slice, but I was too hungry to wait!! Excellent first bite! The team was friendly and accomodating. Great place to enjoy a za before a Sox game!!”
“First time visiting and everything was wonderful, great staff and great pizzas.”
“I’ve been here a few times, both alone and with my boyfriend, and I finally decided to write a review since I’ve tried most of the menu! The Brown Line Smoothie is by far the best smoothie they offer. Today I had the Apple Walnut Salad, and it’s easily one of the best items on the menu. The portion is pretty big that I wasn't able to finish! But its great for leftovers! The Tavern Pizza is always freshly made and very good perfect for sharing. I’ve also had the Chicken Alfredo. It’s good, but nothing extraordinary. For appetizers, I’ve tried the Stix breadsticks. They’re pretty good, though I’d love to see a version with cheese inside! The meatballs are also tasty—light and delightful. The staff is very friendly, the place is clean and inviting, and the music is great! Overall, it’s a cozy little spot, and I’ll definitely keep coming back—especially since it’s only a 20-minute walk from my college.”
“Today was a super hot day and my second time here. I had grilled chicken stubby sandwich and it was one of the two best sandwich in Chicago. Disclaimer: I am not a sandwich girl, but a food snob girlie. The server was super nice and cute.”
“Cozy Atmosphere! We got the Tavern Pizza and it did not disappoint! 🔥 Service was excellent. Serve was super friendly! I will be returning.”
“Stumbled upon this gem during a Card-Sox rain out and it didn’t disappoint. This cute woodfired pizza oven, smoothie, salad restaurant was flavorful and cute. We enjoyed a salad and a combo pizza while our kids enjoyed a cheese pizza and a smoothie. Everything was really good appropriately sized and cooked to order. Didn’t seem like we waited very long and we had our food. The restaurant itself has seating for 20 to 30 people with a variety of table styles. The place also does coffee and smoothies for breakfast. Always a good sign we saw two police officers who came in and ordered smoothies. The parking is limited the street parking we were able to find a spot fairly close and fairly quickly.”
“Stopped in before a Sox game, it was very easy to get to and the pizza and stix were great!”
“I'm genuinely perplexed by the other Google ratings for this place. I spent $21 on what is basically a personal pan pizza, which is comprised of approximately one teaspoon of sauce, a miniscule sprinkling of cheese, and what appears to be a single chopped basil leaf. I'm disappointed in how cheap Stix n Brix is with their ingredients. I'm new to Chicago, so I had high hopes for trying your pizza, but this ain't it chief. Feel free to point me in the direction of a more respectable pizza joint, but this place should have about the same reputation for good pizza as the White Sox have for good baseball. Boo! 👎”
