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!!!

It’s 7:35pm on Thursday evening and my husband and I stopped in on our date night. We were excited to try the new pizza place at this location. Unfortunately we were just told that they are out of pizza dough! In addition, we were informed that any of the pastas and wings would be a 35 minute wait? We will try another night. Would have loved for tonight to be that night! Edit 5/17/25: I gave them another chance. I came back with a friend (Saturday 5/17/25 @ 4:10pm) try their pizza…and support black businesses. Edit 8/18/25: 3:58pm. I arrived. I’d invited a couple of colleagues to meet me here @4pm, since it was close and in an attempt to give them another try! There is a (handwritten) sign on the door that states they will open at 4pm, even though Google… and their door states that they open at 12pm! It is now 4:10pm and I am sitting outside waiting to see if someone shows up.

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.

Having just started up; the front of house and chefs are the same folks, so it took a little bit to be greeted. But good service while ordering and the pizzas were ready at the estimated time (75min). The Woodlawn pizza was incredible. The Dorchester was really tasty as well.

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. Deep dish pizza the Dorchester was delicious 🤤, a chicken salad, barbecue wings, buffalo wings, Whiskey pound cake, Lemon pound cake😉. Everything tasted great 👍🏾 the sauce 🤤 is amazing 😍 on the pizza. Love the lemon cake very moist and lemon-ed 🙏🏾😜my fav. My kids liked the whiskey cake of course 🤔 they some drunks ☺️. the wings both was delicious and a great size not tiny 🤤 will be ordering these to my Thanksgiving dinner menu.yessss. the chicken "fresh"salad tastes good as well. 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!
