Lynn's Chicago Pizza

There's always a difference when you eat food from people that care about their food!!! You can tell this food was made with care!! This is what you call conversation food! Once you take a bite you can't wait to tell other people about it!!! My family is a tough crowd when it comes to food! For my WHOLE HOUSE to enjoy a place yea it's a 10/10 for us!!!

This is a real gem on the south side and the pizza is GOOD! You can tell the dough is seasoned and there's a lot of love in this food. The oxtail pizza is TOP TIER! We had a private event there and the owners were SO accommodating. Their urban Italian dinner, AJA, was beyond good. Chef put his foot in every course! I can't wait to return!

YALL! when i say blow this place up, blow it up, i remember saying to myself that there are not a lot of good pizza restaurants in hyde park. Well, this place could easily be one of my favorite spots, even if i just went here once! Let's talk about the menu choice! This place has numerous different menu options that I have never seen before! They also have their own personalized items based on different areas in chicago! I tried the dorchester, and I can say TRY IT!! it is so rich in flavor and has such a unique pallets of flavors that will surprise your taste buds. The owner is so sweet and humble, and she gave us one of her cakea for free! If you are looking for someone new to try in the chicago hyde park/bronzeville area, certainly try Lynn's Chicago Pizza! It is a must try!

Lynn greeted me when I walked in the door, which I totally wasn't expecting but a pleasant surprise. Got a medium south shore and it was delicious (couldn't wait till I got home to snag a corner) A perfect ratio of toppings, I'm not a fan of the overload. The sauce was the real star of the show here. So flavorful and not too sweet. Going to have to go extra sauce next time. Also grabbed some wings no sauce and they were so crispy and juicy which I am certain those really nice takeout containers helped for travel. I'm really excited to add Lynn's into my rotation and really want to try that oxtail pizza when it's available.

Solid pizza, ordered pepperoni and sausage thin crust. Reminded me of (old) beggars and Italian fiesta. Thick cheese but Italian flavor. Crust slightly burnt. The chicken has the most potential. I got an old grease taste afterwards. Still solid. Will try again

Finally made it over to Lynn's, which is in the same storefront location where the Green line cafe and the Dixiepura Pop Up once were. Space still looks the same and very clean, staff promptly disinfecting tables and sweeping floors. This Black owned restaurant was participating in Black Restaurant Week so I decided to get the wings and the Dorchester thin crust pizza. When I was told the pizzas were running long due to take out, I opted to start with a cesar salad. The wings and salad came out within 12 mins and the wings did not disappoint. I got them plain with sauce on the side just to do a crunch check, they passed! The cesar salad had pickled red onion and fresh grated parmesan cheese. The dressings are homemade and delicious. Salad was $12 and it's indeed shareable or good for an entree w/protein added. While I was enjoying my starters the pizza came out much earlier than projected. I appreciated the staff bumping my order up before to-gos... definitely an good idea for dine in guests. Now the pizza...it had good flavor but the crust was thicker than I had expected or seen online. I was looking for cracker then but it had a little rise to it. Sauce was distinct and spinach and garlic were fresh ingredients, didn't get much from the chicken sausage. Unfortunately my cheese and toppings didn't meet the ends of the crust after cooking so it stopped me from consuming the edges. I'd be interested in trying the deep dish, as the cheese was quality product in both taste and texture. The atmosphere at Lynn's is relaxed, 90s early 2000s music, which makes me think the owners are in my age group. I believe I met them but they didn't introduce themselves as such. The staff remembered to check on me since I was the only dine in. I was offered additional dressing for my salad and asked for crushed red pepper packets (self serve condiment area was out) but I didn't receive it. Upon departure I asked for the cesar dressing to accompany the to-go portion of the salad. I was told that it would be additional cost since I received one during my solo dine in experience. I declined, but was offered a bag, much appreciated! I was a tad put off by the additional charge for a dine guest who is taking half the food to go. I guess I should've mentioned I didn't want the ranch that came with the wings and would've preferred an extra cesar, that's my bad. Having been in hospitality for over 20 years in major cities like Las Vegas, LA and of course Chicago, I would've given the dressing to a single dine-in customer who's bill came to $40 and tipped the counter and food runner. Because I experienced operating a small family business on the south for 10 yrs, a long with the fact that I currently work for a Black woman owned dine in restaurant, I understand the protocol so I won't hold it against them. However I'm sure the bag cost more than a serving of salad dressing. I would've considered simple guest care since it's such a huge factor in this age of insta-media. I believe Lynn's has the taste, space and pocket friendly specials to keep them in business for a long while. I look forward to coming back for the Monday six wing special (only 3 orders per customer) and that cesar salad as an entree! Not sure if they had desserts, I wasn't offered a choice but I did see a photog taking pix of an elaborate looking pound cake. I stopped elsewhere for dessert but likely would've bought it if told about it. I hope this review encourages others to try Lynn's and the critique is welcomed by the owners. Oh and it's BYOB according to her signage in the window, but I'm sure it's limited to beer and wine. No cork fee was noted.

The place is really nice and recommended for date night🤩. I bought a family party meal for my children and I, good 💯 deal. And some extra things on the side.

So clean and neat atmosphere. I came from all the way out Westside Chicago just to enjoy. Watched them on daytime Chicago and it inspires me to check them out 🤗 I really enjoyed everything. Still eating on my wings 🤤😜

First time visiting Chicago and we stumbled upon this gem. The wings were a 10/10 full of flavor and the pizza was also a 10/10. We were even gifted cheese sticks that haven’t even hit the menu yet! Thank you for a flavorful meal!

My family and I love to support local businesses. Here are the pros and cons of our experience. Cons: We ordered online at 5:38. There is a system that requires you to schedule your pick up. Our pick up time was 7:00pm. Upon arrival at 6:54, my husband was told by the cashier that she would only go back and inquire about the order at 7:00. When she went to the back at 7:00, she came back and notified him that it would be another 15 minutes. When my husband made a face, the young lady said, "I can give you a refund if you want," to which my husband replied, "I didn't ask for a refund. I've waited this long. It's cool." To give context, the establishment was empty. Pros: We ordered the Deep Dish Dorchester, BBQ wings (they were a little large for my liking- but, tasty) and the Caesar Salad. Everything was really good. I absolutely love the homemade ranch. The pizza was flavorful and the cheese pull did what needed to be done; however, there was very little chicken sausage on the pizza. I hope they are successful. The food was a high point. Unfortunately, before going back, we'll give them more time to establish their customer service, routine and systems before we patronize again.

First impression are very important. I ordered my pizza on line (Dorchester) the bottom was as hard as a rock and the box was wet. NEVER AGAIN!!! Worst Greeting I have ever seen Waist of my TIME!

Black owned pizza place that is worth its weight in the industry. The owner is friendly and a cool person. The pizza is off the chain. A needed franchise in the community! Still gotta get the braised ox tail pasta dish. CANT WAIT!!

Scored a pie (The Woodlawn) for my family today. The pizza was absolutely delicious!! The crust was the perfect combination of crunchy and chewy, and the meld of flavors (zucchini, eggplant, pecorino and mozzarella cheeses) made for a magical pizza-chomping experience. Strong recommendation! I'll definitely be a repeat customer and look forward to checking out the restaurant's other's offerings. Met one of the owners during my visit---lovely gentleman. Go!!

Sauce was delicious. Crust was ok. Chicken was minuscule & flavorless but otherwise very decent pie.

Walking in you can immediately get the feeling that a lot of effort is put into the vibe. The food did take a bit longer than we expected, but the owner apologized and gave us free waters. The pizza itself (south shore deep dish) was delicious, even eating leftover the next day. If the efficiency was improved, that would add a fifth star

We loved the oxtail pizza! Wonderful owners and great addition to the neighborhood. Highly recommend!!!

A friend and I recently dined at Lynn's Chicago Pizza in the Woodlawn neighborhood and was thoroughly disappointed with our experience. From the moment we walked in, the owner greeted us with a cold demeanor, and an unpleasant facial smirk that left a sour taste in our mouth. She looked over at our table a few times without a simple acknowledgement. The staff seemed equally unfriendly, hardly opening their mouths beyond the bare minimum to take our order. We waited an eternity for our pizza, which was frustrating given that the restaurant wasn't that busy. After sitting there for nearly 45 minutes, the co-owner, Lynn's husband, finally came to our table, muttered something about the order, and quickly returned to the kitchen area. I understand that good food sometimes takes time, but the lack of communication about our wait was frustrating. To make matters worse, when we finally received our meal, there was no offer of an apology or even a discount for the delay. We paid $60 for 2 pizzas that were marginal at best - hard crust, too much tomato sauce and a poor grade of cheese. Overall, the unwelcoming atmosphere and poor service overshadowed any potential enjoyment of the food. We left feeling undervalued as customers and unlikely to return. Save your time and money-there are plenty of other places that appreciate their patrons!
