"Two reasons we really enjoy Bob’s is that there’s no “Bob” (the chef just likes the name) and this place boldly claims it makes “Pilsen-style” pizza (which isn’t a thing). But we love it because it’s the kind of fantastic pizza we immediately want all of our East Coast friends to try. The crust is made with beer and it’s pliable enough to fold, with a slightly charred undercarriage and puffy outer edge. We’re big fans of the specialty pies here—the pesto and stracciatella is a stand-out, and so is the pickle (with mortadella and garlic cream), which sounds weird, but we promise is good." - nick allen, adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor

"During these uncertain times, you can still count on having Bob’s Pilsen-style pizza for pickup and/or delivery. It’s certainly not a real style but has a wonderfully chewy, thin crust with a bubbled puffy edge." - adrian kane
"We can’t tell the truth from the false at Bob’s in Pilsen. It looks like a neighborhood bar (meaning small and dark with flat screens playing sports) but doesn’t serve alcohol. And this place claims it makes “Pilsen-style” pizza, which isn’t a thing—but it should be because it’s fantastic. The crust is made with beer and it’s pliable enough to fold, with a slightly charred crust and puffy outer edge. We’re fans of the specialty pies (the pesto and stracciatella is a stand-out) and basics like cheese or pepperoni. Whatever you order, don’t expect to meet “Bob”—because he’s not real either." - josh barnett, adrian kane, john ringor
