“This is one of those places you go because you want delicious and amazingly priced New York pizzas. There is no indoor seating and you order through a little drive thru window on the sidewalk. It’s $5 for two pieces of pizza and a Coke. I highly encourage calling ahead. It’s one guy and he’s in it for the love of the game, but he can get absolutely slammed. So be kind, call ahead to see what’s going on or for larger orders.”
“They get five stars for the price and the taste of the pizza. When compared to similar type pizza, such as Little Caesars. For five dollars you got two slices of pizza and a can of soda. It’s literally a hole in the wall we almost missed it. Walk up to the window to order.”
“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.”
“For $5 you get two slices, a pop, and accosted by the single employee for not specifying that you wanted a pop when you ordered. Pizza was great. Might go back again tomorrow”
“5$ 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!”
“Hidden Gem right in your face. Opens at 6pm it's great to get a Nyc slice pizza or deep dish for a great price. Stop by the other day and the pizza was great and the guy was nice as well. Will be back soon...... 🍕”
“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 :-).”
“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 got 4 slices of hot and fresh pizza in less than 5 minutes for like $10 lol. This place rocks have been here 7-8 times in the last 4months. It’s like the red hot ranch of pizza, homemade and no bullshit. Also they take card so make sure to tip if you pay that way!”
“I just landed in Chicago from New York, took the L & got off at the division stop, ordered and received my pizza all within 5 minutes, and the pepperoni was TOP Notch.”
