On the Grid : My Pie & Li'l Guys

"This is one of those places that I would have never tried, or probably even noticed, unless a friend had not recommended it to me. There are only a handful of spots in the city that are worth getting deep dish pizza at and this is one of them. Really great sauce and the dough isn’t obnoxiously thick. Also, Li’l Guys, which shares the space, features a Reuben sandwich that has bread made to order, pretty fantastic." - Lee Zelenak

Edit to update: I’ve switched my review to 5 stars because of their top notch customer service. They were super quick to respond to my issue and then offered me every possible option to make a correction. I will DEFINITELY continue to be a customer because of how wonderful they treated me and how much I love their food. I’m only leaving this low star review because I ordered a spinach deep dish vegan pizza and it came full of mushrooms which I’m allergic too. I now have a large deep dish pizza, minus the slice I tried, to pass forward if anyone wants it. It was delicious until I bit into the first mushroom. The people were very friendly and I would recommend you try them, even with my mishap, as long as you have no allergies. I take ownership of not calling and confirming that they don’t have mushrooms in their sauce (?) even tho I did notice there was no place, when ordering, to state an allergy.

My family LOVES My Pie pizza! We order it for pick up once a week. My parents moved from the suburbs to Florida and miss chicago pizza so much, that they order flash frozen May Pie pizza from Gold Belly!

All i can say is that this is one of the best reuben sandwiches Ive ever had!! Their homemade rye pita bread is crunchy exterior but a fluffy soft interior. The quality of the corned beef and sauerkraut is exceptional. Nice touch to have the 1000 Island on the side. There is no indoor seating, and on the extremely hot/humid day made it impossible to eat in their small outdoor space. If you decide you want to eat on premises, check your weather forecast for optimal dining experience.

My Pi is consistently the best pizza in Chicago!! Great sauce, good toppings to cheese ratio, nice crunch crust. My usual is a pineapple and bacon large pizza, don't hate it til you try it. Their pizza stays surprisingly hot for my mile long bike ride home which is fantastic! I'm ride or die for My Pi!

We were looking for Chicago deep dish pizza and we found it. One of the best I’ve ever had. We came from Minneapolis to see a concert but we’ll stay for My Pi’s pizza 🍕

This is my go-to spot when I'm picking up dinner to bring to my boyfriend's house. Their salad ingredients are high quality and the portions are generous. We've always been pleased. Typically if I order right before I leave, my order is ready in the 8-10 minutes it takes me to get there. The staff is also really nice and helpful. I also tried the egg salad twice - once as a li'l guy and once as a full sandwich. It's seriously delicious. I love egg salad in general and their Hawaiian rolls are the perfect match for them - the sweetness is so good with the creaminess of the egg salad. Every time I go in here, though, I want a piece of pizza! It smells delicious, I am definitely going to try it sometime.

They're not bad. I had the Ruebenesque sandwich, which was pretty good. I also had some of their cheesy garlic bread and that too was good. They share a space with My Pie, and it's a pickup only (though perhaps they have some outdoor seating in the warmer months?). I'd return if I was in the area.

Moved to the area and was craving a turkey sandwich having just delivered my baby. Thought I'd try this place out given the great reviews and I was pretty satisfied. Got the baked turkenator which had a lot of tasty meat but I was disappointed in the veggies. Heavy on the onions, light on lettuce and tomato. In fact the lettuce reminded me of bagged salad with parts of cabbage and carrots in it. Not bad, just bizarre. I'm definitely interested in trying to soups and another go at the sandwich. This was good but I wouldn't pay $13 for that again. Also I wanted to order online but it said a 45 min wait so I went in and ordered. Still a 15 min wait which seemed odd since there was no one else there. Guess there were a lot of to go orders? Anyway, solid place but I'll try something else next time for the price to keep me coming back.

I gave this place a shot and ordered a deli sized Damen for pickup that came out to near $18. The pickup experience was smooth but sandwich was an absolute mess with ingredients spread outside of the sandwich itself. Do yourself a favor and get your lunch anywhere else.

I only found this place when I'm walking on the street. I'm a little hungry at the time and it grabbed my attention. As I entered the inside was clean. The staff greeted me with a warmed welcome. At first I didn't know what to order because I didn't know their food. So the staff told me every detail of their dishes. She's nice. I like it. I ordered a Franco Italian Grand Daddy. It has a genoa salami with provolone cheese on french bread with spicy giardiniera, balsamic vinaigrette, lettive, tomato and red onions. I'm amazed at how good it was. I also ordered an American Ham Sandwich Grand Daddy that has a kretschmar hickory smoked ham with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onions and Hellman's mayonnaise on Hawaiian bread. I'll like it too. It's very delicious and yummy. Can't get over their hawaiian bread. I will be back here after work.

Known for their Li'l Guys sandwiches, which are mini-sandwiches. Fillings, I think found pretty good, the chicken or egg salad and Roast beef or Turkey breast. Everything is made from scratch daily and its made to order. I love the homemade cookies, extra big cookies with mini chocolate chips. Even when its cool, they are soft. Try 10 seconds in the microwave or toast lightly in a toaster oven, even better. They also serve pizza slices, thin and stuffed. The pizza is from "my pie" Think "my" with the symbol of PI, main location of that pizza place is on Clark. Blah.. I don't like mypie pizza, the sauce is runny, too sweet, a few bites can ruin your fondest thoughts of sweet sauce pizzas. Also check out the bottled sodas, (I like black cherry soda's, so I am always on the look out. ) Always go back once in awhile, those little sandwiches are great. Service.. how is it everytime I go, they mess up my order! Its as if they are regulating my intake of little sandwiches.

Lousy corned beef sandwiches. Mostly fat and very little meat that was over loaded with mustard. I guess they think the mustard is a good way to hid the taste of FAT!!! I will never go back. Before going we read the Yelp reviews speaking glowingly of the food. I think they wrote the reviews themselves.

This is across the street from my son's apartment. He walked over and got us all sandwiches while we were finishing moving the last of his stuff in. I had their Ruben like sandwich. While it was a little pricey, it was good. Everyone seem to enjoy what they got. Very convenient and good, will be back.

the sándwiches cost 11.95 by themselves, and amount of meat served with was pretty chintzy. The sandwich was good, descent. apparently they cure the corn beef for a week. So if you don't mind the cost it's not bad.

Eff it, 5 stars. I had originally deducted a star for Lil Guy's being a lil expensive (yay for puns!), but I gotta have that tuna. I don't care how much it costs. Since my last review, I have managed to try the chef salad and shrimp and sweet potato soup. Both were excellent, and man, that soup is something special. I will get the pizza one day...... The end.

Started out ordering just their "lil guys": egg salad - delish, corned beef - rivals Manny's and very lean; as the years progressed I haven't really delved into much more of their menu with the exception of the fresh soups that change daily. Mushroom soup was a tad underseasoned but the clam chowder is great (and I never liked chowder before) with one minor setback of grit that you ge every few spoonfuls - that kind of kills it for me ... But they'll get an extra star for the fabulous egg salad that I just get in a container to take home and the selestion of gourmet Sprecher sodas :-)

We've had a few of their sandwiches and various thin crust pizzas. Overall, the food is good but definitely overpriced. I can't find a way to justify $20 for a 16" ultra thin pepperoni pizza. The pizza is good, but there's not much to it. I can't speak to their pan pizza. They do have some upside in that thin crust pizzas only take 25min. The sandwiches we had were also good, but over 50% bread. Definitely better value down the road at chop shop or even Lucia's. Not a good value for money, and unfortunately that is the prevailing theme after a few visits to this place.

I've been coming here for over 10 years and even though I don't live in the neighborhood anymore, go out of my way to come back. The lunch special (slice of pizza, salad bar, and drink) can't be beat. One of the best salad bars and they have homemade dressing and extra crunchy homemade croutons. Their bread is fantastic too and makes a great sammy. Highly recommend coming here on a weekend for their specialty rueben. Hands down the best rueben sandwich I've ever had. This is a tried and true neighborhood gem that I hope is around for at least another 10 years!

Not that great. I paid $11.75 for a corned beef sandwich that was very small. Very little meat and hardly any sauerkraut. The description said that it was homemade bread...it was very hard and hurt my mouth to eat. My girlfriend got a pesto turkey sandwich which was very good in flavor but the bread was either undercooked or extremely soggy. The pesto pasta salad was very good.

PART I: THE EVIL TWIN Here's a short list of things that drive me absolutely insane: -The sound of squeaking styrofoam -Slow drivers -Messy sandwiches You know what I'm talking about...when you pick up a sandwich, take a bite, and half the filling slides out the other end. INFURIATING! I like to eat my egg salad sandwiches with my hands and not a fork thank you very much. As if that wasn't bad enough, I tried the Turkinator which was a yellow sticky mess. Imagine unwrapping your sandwich to find syrupy honey mustard dressing EVERYWHERE. All over the paper, all over the bread, all over the counter, all over your hands. It was foul. Finally, despite the mess the sandwiches are pricey and just mediocre. The L'il Guy mini sandwiches on King's Hawaiian rolls aren't as good as they sound, and despite their diminutive size, they still put a dent in your wallet.

After a recent bender of sandwiches and delis that culminated in a disillusioned belief that Chicagoans seemingly worship all that is Boar Head's, I find this place. Much of desperate prayers have been answer, and I have found some place that actually roasts their own beef and turkey on site. They in fact, will sell you a turkey, should you need one, for Thanksgiving. Much more to my delight is the complete array of Sprecher sodas. Big crusty French bread with very sharp and delicious mustard, I was able to eat sliced from an actual bird (and not boiled/reconstituted and totally cancer-causing) turkey. There was the delectable and awesome nature that is well roasted beef that actually tastes like beef (rather than beef shaped salt molded msg). Both freshly cooked animals are available by the pound. No longer do I have to suffer the insane prices for Boar's Head poor excuse and shineboxing of Chicago's taste buds. I am free of the shackles that is the proverbial wool over one's nostrils or eyes - whatevs! Not only that, but yes, their side salads in the face of culinary trend and self-declared "foodies" are flaunted classics of the deli majesty that is ::deep breath:: plain cole slaw. Vinegar, mayo, cabbage, and perfect for slopping on your sandwich for added crunch and moisture. Equally scrumptious is the Pavlovian-dog decision of vinegar potato salad or regular salad. Am I feeling like red wine vinegar with house-roasted red peppers or Hellman's mixed with mustard and hard-boiled eggs? Oh, I'll just take both. The journeys we will have together Lil Guys will be long and hard. Together we will face impending obesity and possibly gout, but I doubt that because homemade roast beef and turkey is a fraction of the nitrates and salts used in Boar's Head.

Decent sandwiches, though nothing entirely too memorable about it. Their menu is one of those menus you have to read for 30 minutes before you can get through the whole thing... Then you're just left confused trying to figure out the differences between various sandwiches. A bit like Jimmy John's in nature. They seem to pride themselves in the fact that they roast their own turkey and their meats are above average in quality... that's a plus. Expect to pay $8.50-10 for a sandwich + $3.25 if you want a drink and a side of potato salad. They deliver, that's a plus I guess!

Back again as I was recently inspired by a solid pizza at the extremely adjacent My Pie. The service was good as expected. Everyone was smiley and helpful. I ordered the "The Turkenator". It reminded me of this movie that I saw that was based on a book, based on a fast food menu, based on a novella about a sandwich that travels back in time to save a boy from another sandwich that had traveled back in time to murder the boy and his never quite hot mom. Problem was that my sandwich was about as boring as that book/movie/menu/novella. As with my first experience, I couldn't help that the sandwich was lacking something crucial. There is nothing unique about the sandwiches that separate them from the mediocre sandwich places in the city. With a name like "The Turkenator" I would expect the sandwich to have an "R" rating by the Motion Picture Association of America or that it at least try to kill me. To my dismay I remained unkilled, and the sandwich was not laced with a ninja stars, adamantium claws, or weapons grade plutonium. The sandwich contained Turkey, LTO and honey mustard. A mere non-time-traveling mortal in the world of sandwiches. I'm also left wondering why the sandwich required the use of an article in the title. "The" should be reserved only for sandwiches that can show documented proof that several animals and/or people had to be at least mildly inconvenienced in the making of said sandwich. It wasn't deep fried, or deep fried with bacon, or deep fried with bacon and ranch, or at least infused with steel. I know that Li'l Guys has a strong following and I continue to wish them luck. They have so many selections that the day will come that I find one that I like. That day is not today, but it might be yesterday (wink).

Everything here tastes fresh, which is more than you could say about most sandwich restaurants. Everything is sliced to order and the vegetables don't come out of a bag (shout out subway; you know I used to mess with the sweet onion sauce). As long as I've already disparaged one sandwich restaurant, let's put it out there. Hot take coming: everything here is better than down the street at Goddess. They just don't have a patio you can leave a stroller/Lululemon bag on.

Gross. My roast beef sandwich was ice cold and had a tiny bit of crumbled up raw-ish meat. It might have been horsemeat. My boyfriend had a turkey and roast beef sandwich that likewise had no meat on it. We each got a small soup (his was good--mine, cream of mushroom, was bland but ok) and a drink and the bill was $26. Seriously? Hadn't been in a few years and won't be back.

This sandwich shop puts together 1 of the best and tastiest sandwich I have had in Chicago. I took on the "Porker" and was very pleased indeed. No need to ask "where's the meat" as it all between the french roll with generous portions. The staff was great, friendly and offered great service. I had saw a few reviews questioning the cleanliness but I found the venue spic and span and very tidy. The only issue I had was the in house eating counter as it was narrow. They share the space with My Pie and they should look to expand. I will be back for sure! Great sandwich spot!

This is more than just a cute spot, so don't be fooled by the name. I was sick of eating the red and light cream pasta and knew that it would be good for me before the Half Marathon run, so I was searching for a place nearby that served pasta salad. This is THE place! The staff seemed cool and the prices were reasonable. I was so impressed with the place picking up my penne pasta salad and the tri-colored pasta salad that it has me interested in getting some sandwiches and other food items here for my next hunger strike. I appreciated how both pasta salads were different in flavor and not just pasta shapes and colors. I can't even say I like one more than the other because it just depends on what you are in the mood for. Needless to say, I ate both. I'm sure I'll be back!

Li'l Guys is the best thing to happen to the Wicker Park/Bucktown area since I left the neighborhood two years ago. Here's why: - best turkey ever They make it themselves. No preservatives. About 1,000 times better-tasting than any other turkey I've ever tasted and probably healthier too. Oh yeah, and you can buy it by the pound and make your own sandwiches. - mini sandwiches Big portions aren't your only option. If you want a satisfying snack, just get 1 Li'l sandwich with turkey piled onto a King's Hawaiian roll. Pro tip--this is even more delicious if you swap the mustard out for Swiss cheese. - smoothies You can get part of your five-a-day fruit/veggie needs with your sandwich, I love that. - awesome employees One day, the sandwich artist interpreted the T on the order as Tuna instead of Turkey. I didn't catch it, but he realized the error after I'd left. So he chased me down and made me a new sandwich. Very appreciated. - you can buy amazing pizza at My Pie at the same time You want a sandwich and your buddy wants pizza? No problem, there's great pizza available at the same cash register! - they deliver! Perfect for winter, when I won't want to walk five minutes for a sandwich in subzero temperatures. - parking I don't drive, but if you do...they actually have a parking lot. It's free. I know, unheard of.

Who doesn't like soup, esp this time of year. Well, I'll submit that Li'l Guys might just have my favorite soup ever. Sweet potato and shrimp chowder. Afaik, they only serve it up on Friday's as they switch out their soup daily (two choices every day) and that's the time I get it. Paired with the TKRB or the 2 Lil Guys sandwich combo (tuna and egg salad are the go-to's) it simply can't be beat.

I think the name is a misnomer, because you won't be a li'l guy if you eat here as often as you'll want to once you try a delicious deli creation from here. The Ham & Swiss is mouthwatering! Came on really good french bread with lettuce, onion, etc. The taste was so good, I've been craving it again since I ate it. The prices are good too, ranging between $6-9. The meat is very fresh and the sandwiches take about 10 minutes to make, which is good, meaning they're really made-to-order. No Potbelly's/Quiznos/Subway prefab meat packets here. Seriously, if you like sandwiches (and who doesn't), you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended.

I think this place is pretty tasty. They actually cook their own turkey instead of that processed crap you get at Potbellys. No, they don't make their bread but I don't think they claim to -- they just call it their "special" bread. I also love their homemade soups and their brownies are the BEST I have ever had -- mmmmm good!!

I really love the thin cracker like crust on the thin crust pizza. All the ingredients taste super fresh and yummy. The salad bar is very nice since you don't see that too much and it has lot's of good tasty stuff. A good place to p/u a pizza and take home or for a quick lunch.

Want the perfect sandwich? Then stop by this Bucktown sandwich shop and order the following: House bread (really Hawaiian) Turkey Lettuce Cheddar Cheese Green Peppers Balsamic Vinegar This combo is the absolute best. I would give this place 5 stars for the sandwich alone but they get dinged a star as its kind of pricey. Other downsides is there pizza is pretty weak and the salad bar is Busch league as well (and expensive!). Come here for the delicious sandwiches.

First time here today and was a pleasant surprise! Super sandwiches, bread choices...and chicken salad that was delicious. Light, fresh, tasty. Also...the corn salad would be on the list of the best things I ever ate. Can't wait to return and try some other items. What a treasure!

Man, I wish there was a Li'l Guys near my office. What was it? 75 cents for a delicious sandwich on hawaiian sweet rolls? It's the perfect size. The 2 pack is a great to-go meal and the kid's menu is just good too!

Ordered delivery from here on Saturday around 2 pm, 3 sandwiches and a bag of chips. Considering we live about .5 miles away, it was the slowest delivery ever. The food arrived 90 minutes after we ordered and the delivery guy was very nice. The sandwiches were just okay; we had 3 of the different turkey options. Overall, I would order from here again if I wanted more ingredients than offered at jimmy johns, otherwise it's not worth the wait time for delivery.

While the sandwich wasn't bad tasting, I don't think I've ever been served a Reuben sandwich with such little meat. Nothing special and a bit skimpy on the meat for both sandwiches we ordered - Reuben and Turkey sub.

I recently got myself a desk job in Bucktown, and with said desk job, realized I needed a good place for my lunch break. Enter: Li'l Guys! I have phone ordering fear. Part of that is from my own experience TAKING phone orders (good lord, people are annoying and apparently have NO idea what they actually want... or how to read a menu). So I'm always nervous about annoying the person on the other line, taking my order. But the people at Li'l Guys ALWAYS sound cheerful, even when I'm sure they're in the middle of a lunch rush. My staple has become the Chicken Focaccia or Turkey Pesto sandwich (or Grand Daddy, as it were) with a side of roasted veggies. The Focaccia bread is full of sun-dried tomato goodness (my coworker exclaimed it the best: "It's like a little pizza!") and their pesto mayo is to die for. Nothing's too salty or dry and always tastes fresh fresh fresh. The roasted veggies are a good, healthier side choice. I think it's the best when it's a bit heavy on the red bell peppers. I also thoroughly enjoy the pesto penne and today I had the traditional potato salad for the first time--cured my hangover almost immediately! The staff is just as friendly in person as they are on the phone. I enjoy making eyes at one of the cute little guys working behind the counter--even though he's probably, like, 20. So for now, at least, I'm gonna be that lame person who orders there twice a week and basically gets the same thing all the time.

I've been to Lil Guys probably 20 times so it is time I write a review. They have sooo many options it is hard to decide most of the times. I typically get 3 lil guys which is the perfect amount of food, I tried my regular egg salad (really good, not too mayo-y) as a grand daddy and it was just too gigantic. I love how they serve them on Hawaiian bread, heaven! The sides are always fresh and I love how if I don't feel like getting a sammy I can get a slice of pizza, great combo! This is one of our staple lunch destinations, definitely worth a try!

Whoa, the sandwich that I ordered from this place was anything but little! I had to stick around the office for lunch yesterday, so I decided to order from Lil Guys since I had heard great things about the place. I ordered through GrubHub since I'm kind of lazy and hate to call places. The menu allows you to "Create Your Own" sandwich, which I took full advantage of. I selected Hawaiian bread, and the sandwich came on a full 1/4 of a huge Hawaiian bread. I had to smoosh it just to be able to eat it! There was so much ham on this thing that i felt sorry for the pig. (I also added some bacon, why not.) The toppings were really fresh. The mustard was tasty. I had ordered a shrimp and sweet potato soup since it sounded really delicious, but they called me to tell me that they were out. They did have French Onion, and it was amazing! Potent and full of flavor. Delivery was about average time, and very friendly. I can't wait to order again!

It has been a while since I've eaten here but I used to eat their tiny, little sandwiches all the time. I would get the turkey with honey mustard on that little bun, delish. Or the roast beef with dijon. I believe they also serve pizza, though I've never tried that. The other added bonus is that they have parking - even if it is impossible to get in and out of the lot

Have wanted to try here for a long time and I finally was able to grab a couple of sandwiches here today. Went with the damen avenue (turkey club) and it was very good. Turkey was so tender and flavorful and you could tell that it was not your run of the mill cold cut. My girlfriend ordered the veggie sandwich and really enjoyed it as well. Four stars because the parking situation isn't ideal and the Munster cheese on my sandwich was really lackluster. For a place that had such high quality meats I would expect their cheese to be on par. All in all would go back in a heartbeat.

Ok. All I had was a brownie but I did have a bite of of my boyfriend's sandwich. It was served warm and it was a really big sandwich. It tasted good. BTW the brownie rocked. I will return to try a sandwich or maybe even a pizza. The employees were friendly and willing to offer suggestions. Bike parking on the fence surrounding the lot.

It took a bit of paying attention, but I found li'l guys coming down damen. Its tucked right into a small corner outlet area and the parking is tight. Right as you walk in, the smell of pizza also greets you as My Pie is also part of it. Seeing as how I was more in the mood for a sandwich, I looked at that menu a bit stronger. I just wanted to dive right in and got a baked turkonator along with chips and a drink. I originally wasn't going to get the chips, but the girl behind the counter made sure to let me know that it'd be cheaper getting the chips, gotta love that. I got my order to go, and I didn't have to wait all too long, maybe a couple of minutes. Soon I got my sandwich and I was on my way being very thankful that I didn't give into the pressure of buying a slice. When I finally was able to dig into my sandwich, I had a smile instantly. The turkey was some of the best tasting turkey I've had and there were both red and carmelized onions in there, that's always a win. While the sandwich was decently big, it wasn't too much and filled me up real well.

Always looking for good Italian sub style sandwich in Chi-town. Harder to find than you may think. But Lil Guys definitely makes the grade. Great fresh bread and meat and a special treat with the gardinera. The space is a little tight but the food is worth it. Joe T

I have been peeping this place for awhile and finally got the chance to try it. I got the "lil guy" turkey and they are def little! lol. The combo is prob more of a snack for me or maybe I need to shrink my appetite? I dunno...but that turkey was delicious!!! And they make it themselves! I def want to go back and try their other items as well as the pizza and to buy some turkey to go! Yep, they do offer the turkey, which is pretty sweet.

cute sandwich spot, WITH parking in front but also has quick delivery. The sandwiches are great deli, cold cuts or hot. They also have a pizza bar however I cannot comment on that. I can't wait to try some more options, but all the basics are great.

Four stars here is fantastic for me - because I generally don't like sandwiches and I have a boyfriend who has a passion for them. Li'l Guys - He basically can't deviate from the baked turkonator - I guess the honey mustard is spicy and he LOVES it. I have so far partaken in the Franco-Italian and the Chicken Caesar Florentine. I really, really liked both. My boyfriend described the Florentine as a "taste explosion". Something about the caesar and the Foccacia: tasty. The Franco-Italian, I'd get it again in a heartbeat - it was huge and sooo full of salami. At this point I hope to try a few other sandwiches including the egg salad. The only downside here is that I was not impressed with either of the sides I've had so far. Maybe that will change, but the salads didn't wow me.

We ordered two sandwiches and a pasta salad for delivery. Something got messed up and our pasta salad didn't come with the delivery. The driver went back to the shop to get the salad and a complimentary brownie. Sandwiches, pasta and brownie were all good. Good service too.

They have an amazing homemade rueben on Friday and Saturday only. Definitely one of the best I've had. Their pizzas are good too. The dough they use is delicious. Even better, I came in 15 seconds before closing one night and ordered a deep dish pizza. I got an annoyed look from the guy who had to make it, but they took my money and cooked one up anyway. As an added bonus, while waiting for my pizza I got to listen to some great music being blasted on their stereo while they rocked out and cleaned up for the night.
