Bonci Pizzeria

First time trying Bonci in Lakeview and it was a great experience! They had three vegan options today, and I got two of them. Really loved both, especially the spicy eggplant slice. I don't find it to be overpriced as other reviewers say. The two slices pictured cost me a little over $10 in total - and they were large slices, easily enough to make a proper meal. This is what I'm used to paying for a slice ($5ish) in various cities in Illinois. Highly recommend for the variety of options (including vegan), tastiness, friendly service, speed, and customizability.

Recommend: little joined serving pizza by weight exactly as in Italy. Tried different types and all tasted good as I think we tasted in Italy just last year. Just pick what you'd prefer better and you'll like it more. I did think it was a bit on pricier side, for what it is, essentially it boiled down to me feeling like I had rewarmed pizza for $30, enjoyed it but I think price point could have been a tad lower.

Unique pay-by-weight, cooked fresh in front of you, Roman Style pizza. Among the best thin crust pizza I've had in the city, in an unsuspecting and chill location, with reasonable prices. Give it a try!

Pizza by weight! The attendant will cut your piece to length at your request. The piece is then weighed, before it is reheated and served with any other selections you’ve made. I opted for three thinner slices to try different combinations. 📷: Prosciutto Cotto * Beef Pepperoni * Sausage and Mushroom

Delicious and fun pizza! So glad this is in the neighborhood. This is an easy grab and go spot, I wouldn’t recommend sitting in since there are only two tiny tables in a small space. They have fun flavors and are quick with service. I tried the blueberry sausage pizza which was AMAZING, and the sun dried tomato pizza which was good but not spectacular. I will be back!

Tried Bonci for the first time yesterday. It's probably one of the best pizzas in town and the staff particularly Abraham was so kind and hospitable, I felt right at home at the restaurant. We had a great conversation and he is so knowledge of the pizza-making process, it was a pleasure speaking with him. Highly recommend Bonci for delicious pizza made with quality ingredients and the best hosts!

Been wanting to try this for a while and finally found myself in the area. There was about 10 options to choose from but the arrabbiata and sausage & mushroom were calling my name. The arrabbiata had a good level of spice but lacked flavor elsewhere. It also was vegan but I couldn’t tell. The sausage & mushroom had a flavorful sausage but lacked in quantity of toppings. The third one I got was the potato which was their most popular. Never had something like this but it was my favorite. The potato was good and unsurprisingly paired very well with the cheese. All three pizzas had a nice focaccia like edge which was light and airy but had a more thin inner crust which wasn’t nearly as good. Not the biggest fan of what I got but with plenty of options, I’m sure I will be back here again.

great pizza. I've had it both in store and as take out - really enjoyed it both times. be warned that the phone number listed on Google is for the west loop location (as of Dec 2025). make sure to ask the location if ordering over the phone!
