The Little Meatball Pizzeria

Absolutely delicious!! What a neighborhood gem. We tried the bread sticks (that goat cheese marinara!), a special salad, and the signature little meatball pizza… all of which exceeded expectations. Excellent food and hometown pizzeria atmosphere, I will definitely be back soon.

We ordered a small thin pepperoni pizza and cheesy garlic bread. It was DELICIOUS!! The garlic bread was superrr cheesy and tasted great. Pizza dough was very light and crispy which went down well and I could enjoy several pieces. They have a very classic dine-in area which gave it that original Chicago feel. My wife, daughter, and I were extremely pleased. Thank you!

The Little Meatball is my new favorite Lincoln Park gem. It's family run - Stella and Rosario are so helpful, and always smiling friendly faces. The food here is AMAZING! The supreme pizza is my go-to take out order with a side of 2 Italian meatballs. The sauce is homemade and is out of this world. The catering orders I've gotten for my work have been exceptional with both service, accommodation and quality of food. Check out the photos of the catering - the italian pastries are AMAZING! They're always generous with their portions. 10/10 recommend. They now have lunch on Fridays so I suggest you swing by for lunch! They also are BYOB and have a cute ambiance in the restaurant. They often have 'Friends' on the tv in case you ever need to go in for a slice by yourself!

Family-run and super family friendly. The gluten free pizza crust is great. I had the Smoked BBQ Chicken Pizza and it was fantastic. My kids devoured their pasta with homemade marinara. And, the owner brought over complimentary homemade cannoli. Such a great place with awesome service.

Considering their name I had to try their Meatball Sandwich with Hot Giardiniera and I wasn’t disappointed. I couldn’t get over how big the sandwich was with gooey sticky cheese running down the side along with three good-sized meatballs and a side of hand cut fries. The young counter lady was very welcoming and made suggestions as I ordered. They have bottles and cans of soft drinks and water. I chose the cherry flavored sparkling water, it didn't have much of a cherry taste. I mentioned it to the counter lady and she said it’s sprinkling water not cherry soda pop. My mistake, I didn’t have my glasses with me. She offered me a Pepsi instead but I stayed with the sparkling water but it was a nice gesture on her part for offering. I will definitely go back again but I think I’ll try the Lasagna next time. It looks really good on one of the reviewer's photos.

Awesome new pizza place in Lincoln Park. Tried their meatball pizza and was amazed by it, the marinara sauce is superb and the Italian meatballs are perfectly seasoned. The cannoli was a delicious way to end such a spectacular meal. The restaurant is bright and neatly decorated, the distribution makes total sense and you can even get a glimpse of the kitchen where the pizza magic happens! 🍕

Great spot! Better pizza and better prices than the places around it. Service is always friendly. Can’t wait to try the other items on the menu! Verdict - would go back & recommend to friends.

This is my favorite pizza place in the area! Everything I've ever had here tastes great and fresh. The salads are generous and the lasagna was delicious! Quick and friendly service, cute and cozy spot.
