Ranalli's of Andersonville

The food was fresh and tasty. Made with quality ingredients. Excellent service in a quaint, colorful setting. There are great drink specials and decent pricing all around. I do not recommend the spinach artichoke dip!! For some reason, it was soupy, and it lacked flavor. The pizza and salads were perfect! Chef approved!👩🏽‍🍳💋

Order pizza with next extra toppings : onion,Paperoni,provolone cheese. Non of that was on my pizza . Wait 43 minutes on order when that was two tables occupied that’s crazy, server said exactly said not busy. I asked server how long wait for order He said 25 minutes… Pizza was dry to be honest , very disappointed. And the funniest thing they charge me 50$ for that😆

The pizza was pretty good. We got a gluten-free pizza, which was really good. We also got a double-decker pizza. First time hearing of this type. It basically has two layers of crust. Different style than deep dish. It was flavourful but not as good as a deep dish. The bread sticks weren't anything special, you basic variety. We ordered carry out, but the service we did get was great. Very courteous and friendly.

I ordered Penne with Bolognese, "ground sausage", broccoli and soup. I got a call that the soup I ordered ran out. They couldn't refund the soup... So I had to take a chicken and noodle soup. This meal was HORRIBLE! A $5 Stoffers microwave pasta meal would taste like fine dining compared to what I got today. It tasted like they took a cheap aldi spaghetti sause, an aldi sausage and some broccoli... Threw it in the microwave for 2 mins and sent me home with it. It was disgusting. Threw it out. I ended up spending $30 for garbage. If you don't want to be disappointed... Avoid this place at all costs.

Tucked away from busy Clark Street in Andersonville, this is an excellent place for casual dining. Cocktails and beers are affordable and food is quite good. Outdoor space is fun and service is also excellent. Every neighborhood needs a go-to pizza/pasta joint like this one. Follow up: it is heartbreaking when your regular go-to place for the past 10 years does you wrong. All went wrong during the latest visit from service to quality of food. Adding to the injury was being charged for wrong item and paying more for the experience. Perhaps it is time to look for a new go-to…

ordered a pizza and the toppings were BARELY there, which is sad cuz it had decent flavor, i chose delivery, it clearly stated on the app, order would be delivered by restaurant, after waiting quite a while i called restaurant was told it had been sitting for over 20 mins, they then told me it was handed off to an uber driver , by the time it arrived EVERYTHING was cold soggy and gross. A complete and total waste of $100. if you want good pizza, with any type of customer service,you will need to look elsewhere.

Had a very enjoyable dinner here with friends. The pizzas were good (thin crust was my favorite) and the drinks were reasonably priced! There was a small mix-up with our reservation that eventually got figured out, but aside from that we had a lovely evening. Fun Andersonville spot and cool decorations.

I have eaten at Ranalli’s multiple times and have never had an issue until tonight. I ordered multiple items including a hamburger and when it was delivered, it looked like a bite was taken out of the patty. The bag was sealed when it was delivered, so that ruled out the delivery person. I called and spoke to a manager and told her what happened and she said it was probably just a little bit that fell off on the grill. If that is true, they should have just cooked another patty because that is a large part to just fall off, and also in the shape of a bite. I already initiated a refund through the delivery service so I’m not looking for money or anything, just disappointed in the food and service. TL;DR: check your hamburger before eating it I guess?

Stopped here for some pizza slices and honestly would pass on these. They are definitely a good size and my boyfriend says it was a special going on - 2 for $10. The crust itself was too chewy/hard to bite. The sausage had a weird aftertaste. My boyfriend didn't like the sauce. Overall it just didn't give a quality pizza slice. My boyfriend went inside to grab it to I cannot speak for service but they do have patio seating outside (we had our dog with us).

Made a Yelp account just for this! Went to eat out in the neighborhood with some friends who came into town the other day. Wanted to eat somewhere in Andersonville and stumbled on Ranalli's. We sat outside, Charlie was our server. He really made our day - super funny, very helpful with suggestions, and checked in on us! Food was good, drinks were nice. If you're lucky, stop in when Charlie is there - you'll love him. Though I'm sure everyone is as fun as him.

Ranalli's has become my goto for thin crust pizza and ribs. This past visit was a large pizza with green olives and a half house salad. I usually get green olives which many places don't offer in my area so it's awesome to have that option. Friendly staff and clean welcoming environment.

This place has a comforting, cozy interior that's perfect for a date or family dinner out. The portions are pretty big so you could do family style if you ordered a few dishes. From the dishes I've tried, I recommend the Italian beef. (I wouldn't family style this though). The bread on the italian beef was so soft, tasty and perfect for dipping. Soaked the juice right up. You also get to choose a side with it as well! The pizza is good too! The pizza sauce is more tomatoey and gives it a fresh taste. We asked for sausage and artichoke, and they did not skimp on the ingredients. The pasta and meat lasagna were also good, but not as memorable as the other items. The menu items aren't anything fancy, but they are classic. I'd recommend this place if you're looking for some good ole, comfort Italian.

This is not the same as the other Ranallis. The pizza tasted completely different. It was pretty flavorless. The ranch also tasted like store bought ranch instead of the ranch from the other locations. I will not order from here again and was super disappointed.

Placed an order for pickup and arrived at estimated time of completion. The front of house said it would take "three minutes" to wrap up the order. 30 minutes later, haven given us no updates, they said the kitchen had run out of one of the ingredients (chicken?) and had decided to just not say anything about it to the front of house, and not to make the meal. Whether or not this is true, it seemed they only started preparing the dish 30 minutes after the estimated pick up time, and then it took 50 minutes after the estimated time of completion to get our food. We were offered a drink while we waited but not the meal comped, which we thought would have been fair since it took almost an hour after the estimated time to be ready.

I've always enjoyed the food ere and the ambiance it's the perfect spit in Andersonville to meet with friends and have a cold beer or drink and some amazing pizza. I have always loved my Margaritte or my sausage thin crust pizzas This time, Jennifer, the owner, and Tracy, our favorite waitress, mentioned the Xtra thin crust vegetable pizza, and boy, was it yummy. My wife had a beer, but I have to hold off until after my surgery to have a drink. I had some peach gelato. It was so good, and she had her favorite cake. This is in a great location on a side street and believe me the service is great and the food is too. Come visit the restaurant, relax and enjoy a cocktail

We have enjoyed Ranalli's extra thin crust pizza for several years. However, the last two times we ordered from there we were disappointed. We are not even exactly sure what it is, but something is different. Maybe the crust isn't as crispy, or maybe they changed the sausage they use??? But what used to be our favorite pizza is now just okay.

The food is premade/frozen. I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. This plus 3 pastas was $160 The servers are nice. I feel bad for them :/

Food was ok, just mediocre. I will not be back. The one in west loop is better. The pizza is just ok

Great place with great people. They also have Malört in case you want to complete your Chicago rite of passage.

The food (Ranallis's Special, pasta with sausage mushroom and red sauce) was tasty and a large portion. I added on a side salad which was flavorful with things like chickpeas, banana pepper, and black olives, but it was very small. My server was friendly and got my order right, but she ignored me during most of the meal; Both my Diet Coke and my water got completely empty before I could get someone's attention; they never offered. Even though half the tables outside were empty, I was seated at the worst possible table, way down at the end and facing the garbage cans. Weirdly, my utensils were tiny, like eating with a fork and knife for dolls. Price was reasonable.

Honestly, one of the worst dining experiences I've had. The food wasn't good at all--completely disappointing. What made it even worse was the service. We waited over 20 minutes just to place our order, and that only happened because we had to ask someone to send a server to our table. It felt like we were being ignored from the moment we walked in. Definitely wouldn't recommend this place.

I came up from Atlanta to visit friends. We had the 2-2-2 pizza. It was tasty and had a thin crust. They have seating inside and outside and the neighborhood seems to be very nice. I would definitely eat there again.

Great place to relax, their pizza is fabulous and so is their homemade Gorgonzola cheese... It's such a cozy atmosphere and the best service ! Reasonable prices, great place for families to gather

DESPITE BEING ADVERTISED AS SUCH, THIS RESTAURANT IS NOT SAFE FOR THOSE WITH DIETARY RESTRICTIONS. I ordered takeout/delivery from this restaurant and specifically ordered from the gluten-free menu because I have a severe gluten allergy. Not even five minutes after I begin eating at home, I became violently ill from being glutened. I checked the receipt and I was charged the higher fees for the gluten-free items. However, when I called the restaurant to complain, They confirmed that even though they had INDEED charged me the HIGHWR price for the gluten-free items - when they looked in their system it was marked regular not gluten free so they had CHARGED me for gluten free but sent me regular food NOT gluten free. They also refused to take responsibility for the error. I will not be ordering here again and I do not recommend ordering here if you have any severe food allergies. As precautions clearly are not taken and DESPITE PAYING MORE for allergen safe food, they cannot promise that you will receive what you ordered. This is an EXTREMELY dangerous error to make and to then refuse to take responsibility is reprehensible.

Nice place for an early dinner. Wasn't too crowded on a Saturday evening. The indoor seating area is fairly small, but there's also outdoor seating. Good variety on the menu, plus a real gluten-free menu. They have actual GF options for every course, rather than just having one or two dishes that they'll make in a way that's gluten free. I think the only thing they didn't have was gluten-free soup, but there were salads, appetizers, pasta, pizza, dessert, etc. The servers were a little befuddled on the day that we were there, but they were nice and tried their best. I'd go back. Keep in mind that the only parking is street parking, so you may have to drive around a bit to find something.

This is our favorite family restaurant in Andersonville. Tracey has been taking care of us for over ten years and never has the food or service been less than excellent.

We stopped by Ranalli's for takeout during the dinner rush on a weeknight. It's a very warm, cheery space; I could see returning to dine in there sometime when we're in less of a hurry. Our order was ready promptly when we got there, and it wasn't burned or cold when we took it out of the boxes. They were very accommodating about making a vegan pizza in addition to a margherita pizza, which had people coming back for seconds. We also enjoyed their bruschetta, which included plenty of basil and just the right amount of seasoning. This is a great place for thin-crust American-style pizza -- the crust was crisp and tasty on our pizzas -- though they also offer pan, double-decker and stuffed pizzas. My one suggestion is that they post their entire menu on their website, not just the pizza menu, as is the case now. Overall, a nice addition to Andersonville and a surprisingly good option when you're in the mood for pizza.

Have been here a couple times and had great times. Server gave us great drink and food suggestions. The kitchen made an error on our pizza so she immediately had them make a new one and let us know it would just take a little longer. Pizza is really good (thin crust) and appetizers are good. great reliable place to meet friends and enjoy the outdoor seating.

The order took almost 2 hours and I regretted tipping 20% Ithe food was good but colder then normal. We will order again without grub hub

Really looking forward to their cauliflower crust pizza for our pizza Friday night. The pizza itself was just bland, no great flavor from the sauce or cheese and (as you can see by the picture) it was overcooked. Not good

Overall, I have not been impressed with anything. I have ordered out from Ranalli's approx 5-6 times. The first couple times were fine, but everything has gone downhill since then. I've had multiple issues where I'm given a time to come in and then asked to wait for up to 25 minutes, which coincidentally is also the time they said it'd be ready in... I've also had more than one instance where they bring out my order and something is missing. Most recently I ordered 3 pizzas, and they brought out 2. I mentioned this and they said "just a second" and took my pizzas. about 15 min later they brought all 3 out and so I took them and went home. Upon opening the pizzas, they clearly forgot one of them and put the other 2 back into the oven to make the 3rd one. This resulted in all 3 being burned, 2 from going back into the oven, and the last from assumedly being put in the hottest area. I like that this is a neighborhood place, but I am pretty disappointed at the continually declining service and food integrity.

I have ordered from this place a lot. I live around the corner and since Giordano's closed it's the closest/best option for out of town guests to get stuffed pizza. Usually, the food is good (their stuffed pizza is much better than their thin crust which I would never order), but the service has been consistently inconsistent and this last visit really turned me off and I will not be returning. I ordered a pizza in advance (placed at 3:58) for pickup at 5:00 pm. I arrive and I am told five more minutes. After ten minutes I am told 2 more minutes. Then one member of the staff asks another to come back with her. At around 5:30, after waiting for 1/2 hour, a women who I assume to be the manager begins talking with me to try and make it right. She tells me how stuffed pizzas take one-hour and fifteen minutes to cook and how I was misquoted a time - This is just a lie, I order from here at least once a month when family is in town, and probably go to the restaurant once a month with friends because they have a decent happy hour. We always order stuffed pizzas and they always take around 40-45 minutes. I had been there as recently as two days prior for a three-year olds birthday. This was just a lie. Just own up to your mistake. She then offers to send some beers home with me. I accept, and she give me two beers for my experience. Finally at 5:40 I get my pizza, walk the three minutes home, and open the box. Picture attached. 1:40 minute wait for a burnt, dropped pizza. I couldn't believe it, after all this time waiting they send me home with that! Its a shame. Further disclaimer, I called and complained and was immediately sent out a "fresh" party size pizza out of the oven. This pizza was a pizza from their slice warmer, which I had witnessed put into the warmer shortly after arriving. I guess I am looking for a new pizza place in Andersonville, maybe the Giordano's location will give us something good.

This is definitely a neighborhood joint with decent food. Like most restaurants right now, these folks are having trouble with keeping servers. While I recognize times are tough with a lack of workers in restaurants, I think it's not acceptable to have 4 workers behind the counter and 1 poor woman serving tables. We waited for 20 minutes before we decided to give up waiting for someone to approach us to bring waters of menus so we asked one of the 4 people behind the counter for a menu and waited patiently for someone to approach the table. 10 minutes later still no one had approached us... however the server then took the order of a party that came in 15 minutes after us. Still no one had approached us for a beverage even... We left without any acknowledgement or attempt of communication from any of the 4 people behind the counter talking and joking not the 1 server for the 5 other occupied tables in the dining room. We've been going to this Italian restaurant for several years here and there and have rarely seen the same folks working here year over year. There are some highlights on their menu for sure. We will not be back anytime soon. We will wait to try again once they are up on their cleaning program and have appropriate staffing for the tables they seat.

Ranalli's has always been a favorite. Their chicken parmigiana is always great, and sides never disappoint.

I really really wanted to love this place (mostly due to their extensive gluten free options), but unfortunately the food was not so great. The people working here were super kind over the phone, and I have no doubt their service would be excellent dining-in. But we ordered delivery, and through no fault of the delivery driver, the food was nearly inedible. The gluten free pasta was bland, soggy, and chewy. Neither the vodka sauce or diablo sauce helped much. And my husband's wings (not gluten free) were "just okay." I think this was the first time I've ever seen him not finish wings. The gluten free garlic bread was burnt and again, bland, and considering I can count on one hand the times I've been able to have this in my life, the bar was already set way low. The saving grace of the whole meal was the gluten free whoopie pie for dessert -- an outsourced item actually from Defloured Bakery (another local Andersonville spot). Maybe we ordered the wrong things? Maybe they were having a really really off night? But I won't be rushing to eat here again.

Ranalli's never disappoints. Their pizza has high quality ingredients and their sauce on their pizza is delicious. I love ordering from here and have tried pretty much everything on their menu! It's our go-to when we want thin and crispy pizza.

Great spot. I brought in two hungry kids that were loosing their minds, lol staff was so accommodating and kind would highly recommend . Delicious unpretentious food for family pizza night it's perfect. Kids happy, us happy what more could you ask for. Perfect neighborhood restaurant.

Ranalli's is the best restaurant in Andersonville. The owner, chefs, delivery people, servers, and the patrons make this the most welcoming, amazing place to grab a bite.

We've gotten some decent meals here but don't order the ravioli. It tastes ok but it's more of an appetizer than a meal and not close to worth the $15.

Time has done wonders for this neighborhood establishment. Their growing pains, from my point of view, over the years are behind them. It has lately become a good place with a good menu, and good food to match. I shouldn't say this because they will become too popular for their own good, but the wings are great.

Ordering the Skillet Cookie is ALWAYS a must. The best in the city, and big enough for 2-3 people. The garlic knots are also *chefs kiss*!

We are so excited to have found this one! The one in Lincoln Park does not have the double decker pizza. We have missed the old one that used to be at Dearborn & Elm but was torn down in 2001. This one deserves much more business due its spacious interior and outdoor seating on Berwyn. We will most def be back when we can.

Ordered through Grubhub. Pizza was 50 Minutes late and cold. Big let down because this place used to be good.

Friday night I finally had the chance to check this joint out and I loved it. I loved it so much I went back this afternoon. On Friday, I had been drinking and was in desparate need to get some food in me. I was hanging with Kellie K & Co @ Simon's and this was the closest place. Two slices of heaven, I mean thin crust sausage hit the spot and soaked up some of the poisons in my body. I met the owner Jennifer who was really nice and she even let me sample some of their delicious sherbert. Today I had the sausage pizza again and it was as delicious as Friday evening. This place is great! The inside is very nice and attractive and the service is good. Also it is BYOB, so you can enjoy your pizza with some spirits from home. I was a little disappointed when they told me they don't deliver to Wicker Park, but that just gives me an excuse to make it up to A-Ville from time to time. Great place, great food!

I'm not quite sold on Ranalli's. I admit, I have some emotional problems regarding them that have nothing to do with this particular restaurant. First, they took over the Urban Epicure space, and I was disappointed to see a pizza place go into that location. I would like to have seen something more original. Second, there's a Ranalli's about a mile south on Montrose -- did we really need one in Andersonville? Third, it's just Ranalli's -- nothing special there. On the positive side, they do sell pizza by the slice, and that's new for this neighborhood. I imagine once the weather warms up, they'll be doing a brisk business. Right now, they're still pretty deserted much of the time. They also make thing and extra thin crust pizza, so if that's what you're loking for, this is the place to find it. The staff I've interacted were very friendly. Unfortunately, unless I'm looking for thin crust pizza, their menu is not extensive enough to warrant me stopping in very often. Last visit I had a kind of faux muffaletta sandwich, which was big if a little overpriced ($8.50), and nothing special.

This is their "Pizza Bread" that costs $4.95, before tax, and is the saddest food I've ever bought. This bread was floppy and had no flavor. If I valued it, I'd say it's worth about $0.25 in person and maybe $0.50 since it was part of what we had delivered. It doesn't measure up to Jimmy John's day-old bread and they should really just take it off their menu unless they decide to somehow make it actually seem like pizza, or bread, or edible food in general.

How this restaurant stays in business is beyond me. I have been to this restaurant a few times and even ordered delivery from there. My experience every time has been mediocre to downright terrible. I was having friends over for my housewarming party and decided to order pizza from this place. I called the day before and placed an order for 5 XL pizzas to be delivered at 6:30 PM. The pizza didn't arrive until 7:30 PM and it took several calls and reminders before they delivered. After I tipped the delivery person, I brought the pizzas inside and opened the boxes. Turns out, she had decided it was ok to not hold the pizza boxes horizontally on her way to my place. Result? The pizzas had slid to the side and folded up and left with a soggy folded down pizza mush. My whole dinner idea was ruined after spending $120 on these clowns. I will update this review with some pictures if I can find them on my phone. Last night I decided to give them another chance and went in for dinner with a friend. We were two people. When we ordered drinks, I was told that their wine was $6 per glass. We were billed $8 for the cabernet. The veggie pizza for two people came to $21.50 and I barely saw any cheese on it. The base was so soggy that we had to use silverware to eat the pizza. Using our hands was out of question. The waitress' attitude was so indifferent towards us it was as if she was too good for her job or something. Never going back to this place again. I am all for local businesses, but a circus like this needs to go.

Went here for a small bachelorette party dinner on a Saturday night. It was odd that there weren't too many people in the restaurant for a Saturday at 8pm. Pros: The restaurant was great for a larger group, they took care of us well and had good service for a larger party. All of our orders were correct and were given to us correctly. Our water was refilled regularly which is a big plus for me. Cons: Most of our group was not a fan of the food. I ordered the pizza which I thought the restaurant was known for but it was super creasy and had way too much cheese (shocking to say). I also tried the chicken parmesan which another friend had. I was not a fan of the marinara sauce and it was very acidic. Overall I wouldn't return but it was reasonably priced and we had a great time despite the food being pretty average.

Went here for a birthday/New year eve party. Had a great time. Place is smaller than I expected. The service was great. Going to the bar, served quickly. The food was delicious as well. Had the brascetta, ravioli, meatballs, chicken wings and pizza. All very good and would definitely have again. Also the cupcakes were a very good desert.

Service was excellent! We had a lovely dinner with friends and family at this quaint hang out. The food was awesome with fabulous hospitality. The gluten free options are superb. Breads, pastas, pizzas, and desserts. Everyone is well alert to allergies and conscious to not cross-contaminate.

Love this spot for pizza and pasta! Have been going here for years. You can even pick up a frozen pizza to cook for later. #supportlocal #smallbusiness

Having just been diagnosed with celiac disease, it's been hard to find delivery in the area that offers Gluten Free options. I was excited to see that Ranalli's has a fairly wide selection of GF food options and they've (heretofore) been my go-to for delivery. That was until last night. My GF burger arrived on a bun that was so hard you could have used it as a hockey puck; not to mention I could taste the freezer burn on it. It should be noted that my last burger arrived in the same manner, but I decided to give them another chance thinking it could have just been an "off night." I can safely say, given the food I received last night, they simply don't care about the quality of their food. As a recommendation to them - if you don't care about the Gluten Free community, don't cater to us. Slapping an OBVIOUSLY stale bun on top of a burger and sending it to a customer (twice) is unforgivable. I'd rather have gotten a call stating that they were unable to fulfill the order because they didn't have the GF buns available. But god forbid you give up profit in the name of honesty and integrity. Never again, Ranalli's.

Their thin crust pizza is delicious and consistent. Staff is always friendly too. Nice to have good options in the neighborhood

Again... Commenting on food and and preparation only (we get a lot of delivery). The grilled wings are amazing, always done to perfection! Only thing is that you must get them sauce on the side because they douse the wings in sauce which can be overwhelming. Make sure that you specify this over the phone. The grilled chicken tenders with the honey mustard are also awesome! The pizza is definitely sub par, the crust and the sauce are quite tasteless and when we got a pizza from here it was so under cooked we actually threw it in the oven for good measure. The delivery service is awesome, they come quickly, the food is also hot. If they ever make a mistake they correct it immediately and bring the correct item in flash time! Definitely a repeat for grilled wings delivery.

This is a hard review for me to write. I really hate leaving bad reviews because I know it can harm businesses but honestly everything about my experience was. I've ordered delivery from Ranalli's of Andersonville a few times. I always order the same thing. A thin crust cheese pizza with a side of ranch. Every time I've had delivery it's been wonderful. Sadly, I came here today for lunch and had a meh experience. I walked in and there was a large group of people talking/laughing. I felt awkward standing there as nobody greeted me until they were done 'Snapchat selfie-ing'.. I sat down and ordered right away since I was exhausted and hadn't eaten all day. I ordered a small individual cheese thin crust pizza with a side of ranch. When it came out it was still cold and I could barely hold it with my hand it was so soggy. It took a solid five minutes before the waitress came back to check. I asked her to put it back in and cook it for longer in hopes that it would come back warmer and more crispy. A few minute later she brought it back and although it was hot it was still soggy/flimsy (i've attached pictures for your viewing).. I'm starving so in order to eat the few pieces I did I had to fold the pizza like a taco. I'm sitting here writing this review and she still hasn't come back to check on me since and it's been over 15 minutes. The big group is gone and I'm the only one here and she STILL hasn't been back (see attached picture at space to see no other customers). Pretty bummed with this whole experience so chances are I won't dine in again. My suggestion is to try Jet's pizza down the street on clark. I've never been disappointed with Jets quality of pizza or their customer service.

I have been ordering from here for delivery for years and was in Andersonville this afternoon and decided to stop by for a late lunch. The food is consistently great and service was on point. Met the owner today and she was very friendly. I have never had anything less than stellar food, delivery or dine in. C'mon Chicago, support our local businesses! You will never be disappointed with Ranalli's of Andersonville!

Walking around the 'hood we found this place. Seems like it is owned by someone we know, so we decided to give it a shot. Ambiance was really good, very comfy and open. Decor was ok, some TVs around and a bar at one end of the main floor. Service was really good, prompt and courteous and, most importantly, very patient. My kids spilled their cups of water like 3 times, and our waitress was always smiling and willing to help with the spillage. Props to her. Food was really good. Not spectacular, but really good. We ordered a pizza, calamari and some chicken kebabs --or something like that. Everything was tasty and prepared very well. If you're looking for basic Italian comfort food, this is your place.
