“Just came in for a quick slice of pizza. Ended up eating and drinking a beer 🤣 Loved the vibe!”
“Omg I came to Reggie’s Pizza on my lunch break and when I say the pizza and the drinks was amazing it’s definitely a green light. The owner was so nice and kind. My new spot to go too.”
“Reggie's is a pizza kiosk in a nice bar in Chicago. We came in during a slow period and actually got to talk with the owner. (Reggie) He was fun and talkative and it was great meeting him. The pizza was fantastic and huge!!!”
“Przechodzą przez downtown Chicago natrafiliśmy na ukryty bar ze świetną pizzą, bardzo klimatyczne miejsce, Reggie sam robię pizzę w stylu nowojorskim. Przy okazji napić się zimnego piwka, świetne miejsce z klimatem.”
“찾기힘든곳에 있고, 평상시라면 안들어갔을것같은 분위기. 바와 공간을 공유하고있기때문에 일행이 가자고 안했으면 안갔을것같은데 엄청 큰 슬라이스피자 2조각과 캔음료2개해서 $12 만들어진 피자를 오븐에 데워서 파는 거라 솔직히 막 엄청 맛있다! 이런건 아니지만 급하게 끼니 때워야할때, 돈이 얼마 없을때 좋은 선택이 될수있을듯 피자도우는 두꺼운편이고 내가 갔을땐 치즈와 소세지 두 종류가 있었다.”
“Your Local Chicagoan Chef is Back!! Now, everyone's local dive bar had me guessing about their pizza. So I decided to head down to Reggie's Pizza Parlor and check it out! Here is what I found!! Something of note: I was only offered Cheese or pepperoni l, as he had no other pizzas and this was orders at 2:12pm on a Monday Afternoon. Granted for a dive bar, rather okay as he wasnt in full swing. Though I would have preferred the option to have "fresh cooked pizza". Also no pepper and cheese packets were available. So, the pizza is, I have to agree with Nizel Adam's Review, Even 2 years later. The sauce was lacking severally. As when I bite down into it was very doughy. As if there was little sauce placed in the pizza. The cheese did have a good ratio. However the obvious lack of flavor left it for granted. The puzza itself was over cooked, please see pictures. As if it had been left in a warmer then reheated. So when I say, head to Giordanos, your money would have been better spent. I mean it I really aim to see this place revamped and revist3d for personal pan pizzas and and cheaper pizza as well as they only offer 1 size pizza at the moment the massive $35 pizza. Though for the review wasnt going to spend thet much for a fresh pizza, not for a single person. My assessment: if your looking for a beer and want that fresh pizza then go for it!! Otherwise your money will be better off spent elsewhere! Specially with all the Pizza Chicago has to offer. Forgot to mention: he only had one pop to offer and it was $1, which was Pepsi! So if he had more of a variety, and better sauce, I think he would be doing great and perhaps bring life back into his pizza!! Editors Note: Went on to the Pepperroni Pizza, to tey it to see ifnit be better. Unfortunately it was even more lacking. The dough was very thin and lack of sauce left it very dry and almost burnt tasting. So be wary of this.”
“I visited this place thinking it was Reggio's pizza which is an iconic black-owned pizza chain. Despite noticing my mistake I still decided to try it out. It's located inside of the bar. Reggie's pizza is tucked away in the corner. It's a really small space that I noticed everyone inside was ignoring. You can get a slice & a soda for $6.50 (prices oddly seem to vary depending ln the customer if you look through the reviews) although there's no apparent list of toppings or menu items anywhere from what I saw. I'm pretty much in agreement with the other reviewers in terms of the pizza looking better than it tastes. It's subpar at worst & ok at best. Despite it sitting on the rack then being put in the oven to be reheated...the dough was still uncooked in some areas. The cheese is perfectly browned & there's a decent amount of sausage. The sauce was lackluster. The main pro is that the slices are big although not Bacci's big. They're served like a New York slice of which the owner tries his best to convince Chicagoans to let him slice it into smaller pieces for them (must be due to past confusion or waste.) I did end up throwing the last 1/5th of pizza I had left away, but not because I was full...I just didn't feel like eating subpar pizza anymore. The whole time the bar wasn't that busy. There were a couple of guys playing eachother in darts which was somewhat entertaining since one of them was hilariously bad as well as cheating.”
“I can tell you now their slices alone are top notch not just in Chicago but over New York anywhere in the country. I need to figure out how to attach a photo but I’m telling you.The low key spots”
