    I found Homeslice because my friends and I were looking for some gluten free options--beyond chicken salads and bunless burgers. After one bad experience with gluten free pizza where the crust tasted like cardboard, I was hesitant to try gluten free pizza again. To my surprise Homeslice's gluten free pizza was delicious! Definitely look forward to coming back again.

    my sister and I chose this place because we saw photos on yelp / Instagram of the awesome outdoor back area. unfortunately we did not know that it's only for those 21+, and my sister is not of age. we were forced to sit in a different area and I, being 24, was not allowed to order a drink. it sucked because part of the reason we chose the restaurant was for the experience. But, our server was fabulous and gave us complimentary dessert for our disappointment. overall, the pizza was alright, as well as the atmosphere. our service was outstanding. just be aware of the 21+ rule for their outdoor seating area.

    Great ambiance, great outdoor space. Too be honest, not that impressed by the pizza... obviously I am like 1/45634864531 that is not fond of their pizza, but thats okay. I will give them this though.... their crust and pizza dough is amazing! All in all, not worth making a trip back

    Since I don't live in the city, it's very rare that I get to check out a newly opened restaurant in Chicago. With Homeslice, I got a chance to go last week and I am so happy that I did! What a wonderful place... it gives me a nostalgia feeling and what can be better than that?! Everything is 5 stars for me here... the service, the food, and even the way the bathrooms have been designed (pennies all over)! We came here around 5ish, so it wasn't too busy yet and we got to pick our own booth. Everything is made out of wood/logs, which is so different from any other restaurant I've been to. Just the interior alone is a must see for everyone. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and helpful. By helpful, I mean the menu is pretty extensive for a pizza place, so she def helped us narrow down a few choices. I wish I remembered her name.. Since it was a VERY cold day for April, we decided to both a get a bowl of the Hungarian Mushroom soup. OMG it was so good and so perfect for a chilly day.. it was a bit salty, but I like it that way. For the pizza... they have so many options. She explained the sizes, which vary in price for each pizza. The best option and it ends up being a couple dollars cheaper is to get individual sized pizzas. Not only do you get to try a couple different types, but you save money and get exactly what you want without having to share :-P I got the Zephy - portabella mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, mozzarella, and provolone. I highly recommend this... My boyfriend got the Mercernary pizza which was noted by our waitress as being one of the most popular items. He loved it as well. The pizza was super fresh and so much flavor. They also have a nice selection of beers, but we were too cold to even think about that. Next time... Anyway, this has instantly became one of my favorites and we WILL be back, hopefully sooner than later.

    I like that you can put down your name and they will text you when your table is ready. Also like that you can order a small pizza- pretty much individual size. A little loud indoors, will try to take advantage of the outdoor seating next time

    LOVE this place. It was our first trip to Chicago and a friend said we should check it out. Pizza and salads are wonderful.

    I really gotta give it to Homeslice for being a great addition to the neighborhood. After reading reviews of not having the best service, I have to admit I was a bit weary. However, I decided to try it out for myself, and I am so glad I did. My best friend and I went here for dinner last night. The weather was really nice last night, so we decided to sit on the patio. It's probably one of the best patios in the city! It's welcoming, big, and nicely decorated. It became cooler as the evening progressed, so the staff immediately put out heaters. My friend and I shared our entire dinner. We ordered the Breadsticks with Goat Cheese (YUM), the Mixed Greens Salad (YUMM), and a small Big Teve Pizza YUMMM)--starting to notice a trend here? Everything was fresh, delicious, and modestly priced. I would highly recommend all three. We even had enough for leftovers! We ended up chatting for a while because the restaurant didn't seem too busy, and the staff didn't rush us at all. It's hard to find that these days. Our service was pretty much stellar, with a slight exception to our server forgetting to bring out our drinks. I ended up having to ask another server to bring them. Our server later realized that he had forgotten, and was very apologetic. No major harm done. Another thing to remember is that if you sit on the patio, the train is right overhead, so it's a little hard to have a conversation out there. Although, we did seem to get accustomed to it, so again, not a big deal. If you're in the mood for a cool pizza spot, definitely check out Homeslice!

    Obsessed with Homeslice! From the atmosphere, to the food, to the people. Everyone who works here is so nice and will do anything to ensure you have a good time. I come here pretty much weekly and I've never had anything but an awesome experience. :)

    Good beers, but pizza is just alright. This is a nice place to watch sports games, because there are a lot of large TVs. I came here after my class at DePaul, which was convenient. I came late to meet up with friends, so by the time I got here the pizza was cold. It was a pretty plain pizza, because there wasn't any sauce...? There were a lot of veggies and some chicken, but it was dry and kind of bland. We ordered a couple pitchers of beers and those were much better than the pizza. The glasses were interestingly shaped, but cute. I'd come back, if not for the food, but for the drinks!

    We went here in July. Nice venue for summer months. We found the service a little odd. The wait staff were a little unprofessional as they were playing jokes on each other by sending some poor new lady to serve us after we had already ordered. She looked very embarrassed and apologized as this wasn't the first time they had done this to her. I loved the bar lady, who definitely knew how to make a good cocktail. The food was good but I can't say I haven't had better pizza elsewhere. We had the bacon pizza. It was tasty and the only negative I can say is it was slightly sweet. My son ordered the carrot cake for dessert and this was so dry it ended up in the trash. It had to be bad if my son threw it out . He loves cake. Maybe it was an old batch.

    So.. I was very excited for yummy pizza and had planned with another couple to go Homeslice. They had said an hour wait but were told our table was ready after 30min which of course was good since we were hungry! Great selection of pizzas- we ordered 4 pizzas from the meatless section so sampled a good variety. The atmosphere is great and especially loved the outdoor seating. BUT, did not think the pizza was all that great. It just lacked something... We thought maybe it needed more sauce because it didn't appear that any of the pizzas had any. Maybe the meat pizzas are better and definitely loved the place but it wasn't the pizza we were hoping...

    My group visiting from out of town didn't have a terrific experience at Homeslice. It's a real shame too, because there were some aspects of the place I really liked, but other areas fell very flat. First, i'll say what I did like. They have a very fun setup. There's multiple patio areas, and in the area off the street, they have a lounge and a few cool looking pieces of decor, like the wooden VW Bus that a couple of tables are in. I picked out a pretty yummy margarita-esque cocktail that included pomegranate and jalepeno. The chips/salsa starter we got was solid, and the pizza was decent as well. Also, the menu was vast, and had a lot of options, even for meatless people. Now with that said, these good aspects were marred by a few annoyances. - Even though I just said the menu is vast, it really isn't as extensive as it looks. Even though there were 11 meatless pizzas, they all shared a lot of ingredients with one another. The difference between some of these was simply a couple toppings or the type of sauce, so it's a bit deceptive. - I also said above that the pizza is decent, but it's not great. And considering that the prices for pies are not cheap (Typically they ranged from 28-32 for a large), I was holding higher expectations. It just felt like I was paying 1.5x as much for the quality and quantity of what I received. - This is minor, but one pizza we ordered was the cheese-less pizza, but it had some spackles of cheese on it. One person in our group was vegan, so they didn't particularly appreciate that. That pizza in particular was also really messy, as the toppings kept falling all over the place. I wouldn't recommend that pizza to others. - Probably what stuck out the most was the quality of our service. It started out fine, and we got all of our food/drinks promptly, but once we got the pizza, the service took a big dive. After we finished eating, it took the server a bit over 10 minutes to come and ask us if we wanted the check, and then another 10+ to come give the check to us, and then about 10 minutes after that, we couldn't wait any longer, and found her and gave her the check. Considering that we were in a hurry to get somewhere, it was very stressful. I could tell that our server seemed flustered dealing with another group of patrons, so hopefully experiences like this are just an anomaly here. Overall, I wasn't terribly impressed with Homeslice, but i've had much worse dining experiences. I'm teetering between a 2 and 3, but am going with a 2 due to how absurd/annoying the check situation in the end turned out to be.

    I feel like such a pizza snob. I came to Homeslice with a group of about 8 people and we ordered two pizzas to share. Everyone else thought the pizzas here were delicious while I thought they were boring. I don't remember exactly which pizzas were ordered but one had sausage/pepperoni and the other was vegetarian. I like the fact that the crust wasn't soggy from all the toppings but the pizza didn't really have much flavor.

    Homeslice offers Lincoln Park - after a long wait - a trendy pizza place with a bar. The decor is on point and the staff is a good time. If anything, you'll have fun and take some good Snapchats to send to your friends who stayed in to study. I'll start with the downsides: the menu is overly saturated with a lot of options, and the prices are a little higher than you'd like. I'm not saying they're ridiculous, or that their predetermined pizza combo's are awful. I'm just saying both could use a little refinement. The pizza is not the most amazing pie I've ever sampled, but it also didn't disappoint. My final complaint is that the men's bathroom - I can't comment on the women's as I have never visited - is hotter than hell. Perhaps the pizza ovens are located adjacent to its wall and the heat flows in? All I know is that I felt as though I was getting cooked while I stared down at the penny floor. Yes, the floor was completely constructed of pennies. Surprised they haven't melted. Overall, the place was pretty good, homie. Get some.

    The management needs to do a better job with the front of the house. After giving the host our name and receiving a confirmation text we decided to wait the quoted 25 minutes. We waited, and waited, and waited and nearly and hour later we checked with the host again only to find or name wasn't on the to begin with. Disappointing to be turned off to this place, cause the pizza is good.

    Great gluten free pizza! Waiters are knowledgable about cross contamination and for people with Celiac Disease, that's extremely important. I'm a fan of the Lucille and Bennett's Beauty. The chips and salsa are also GF!

  • Kate K.

    I love homeslice so much. They have a bunch of interesting flavor combinations and such a wonderful outdoor patio (kind of loud because of the el). Their gluten free crust is absolutely delicious if you're gf. Amazingly, everyone here is beautiful? Every time I've eaten there it's just full of attractive people, I have no idea. Aside from just great pizza, the service is great too. Recently I ordered a pizza for pick up several hours later - it was a pretty annoying request on my part, but it was part of a big order from multiple places for party. They were very understanding and so great about calling me back to make sure the instructions were clear. Everything was ready right on time when I went to pic k it up too.

    I'm an Oregon Ducks fan, and this is where Ducks fans gather to watch the games. They're always accommodating of fans, even during the Saturday dinner rush. I've eaten through much of the menu, and it is all phenomenal. The pizza is unique for Chicago: thin crust, but thicker than even New York style pizza. The crust is phenomenal, and the toppings and veggies are very fresh! The only one that isn't great is the sliced sausage, which is disappointing in a city with such great sausage. The cocktail menu offers a nice change of pace from what I typically drink, and I've even had brunch as of today!

    I have dined in and gotten carry out at Homeslice about 8-10 times total, and each time I am impressed with the quality of the food and service. The times I have dined in, I have come with a rather large group (about 10-16 people) and they have always easily accommodated us. That's the great thing about their big log cabin-like decor; the long tables are perfect for large parties. The food came out fast, the servers were very pleasant, even though I'm sure a big group like us is a pain in the neck. I have tried about half of the menu items, and I would say that I have enjoyed everything they make. Their salads are fresh (=the veggies are nice and crisp, not like some salads that look wilted from being in the kitchen with hot items), their standard pizzas are exactly what you want from a good pepperoni pizza (a good balance of crust, cheese, sauce, and pepperoni--this is what we always get for takeout when we just want a good quality pizza to eat at home with a movie), and their specialty pizzas are outstanding. I am especially in love with The Lucille, a pesto-based pizza that has changed my stubborn mind that all pizzas should be made with tomato sauce. The Big Teve is a great option if you are a vegetarian, and if you're a fan of meat, the Meet Mary is the way to go. Simply outstanding, great prices, quality food.

    Great ambiance and a great place to watch the Hawks game with a few friends. I had a great craft cocktail but my friend hated hers. However, the server was more than happy to replace it for her. The food was great - I ordered a marinara and goat cheese dish. They have reasonably priced beer as well.

    Management was very responsive to my feedback. Gave it another shot and dined in this time. Nice decor. Casual and high energy vibe. Staff is really friendly and accommodating. Had one of the salads as a appetizer, was really good. Got a veggie and the mercenary pizza. Veggie pizza was good, but the mercenary was delicious. Good TV setup in the front, outdoor patio that could be good as it gets warmer. I would definitely be interested to check this place out on a Friday and Saturday night for drinks.

    I am in love with their patio - one of my favorites in the City! However, it can be loud if you are not used to being close to the train. I met up with girlfriends here last night for dinner and drinks. We enjoyed the sheffield salad and the Special-K pizza (subbing pepperoni for the sausage). The pizza was one of my favorites I ever had here, with my second favorite being the natelicious. The sundried tomatoes on the Special-K were delish! I would definitely recommend Homeslice for awesome pizza in the neighborhood.

  • Renaud S.

    Try their bread sticks and goat cheese!!! But keep some appetite for the pizzas because they are delicious as well. My favorite ones are the Kern-Holio (chicken) and the Zephy (meet-free), but all are (or seem to be) very good. Good choice of beers as well. And I loved the terrace, having diner here when the weather is good feels so comfortable!

  • Donna C.

    Taking advantage of the weather and enjoying the neighborhood, we found ourselves with about four dining choices on Webster and we chose HomeSlice. Wise move. Delicious cocktails and beer menu the bourbon ale was rich and flavorful. The sparkling wine and st germain cocktail was so refreshing but there were about 2 others I would gladly have tried. I have the tastebuds of a sophisticated 12-year old so many of the choices sounded good until I saw goat or blue cheese and I was getting frustrated at the roadblock. We chose the individual pizza the simple pepperoni and ava lance. Both were so amazing! The crust was crisp and had perfect texture - chewy and crisp. The flavor was a little buttery. It had enough body to hold up to the strain of the ingredients. The toppings were fresh and flavorful. We saw any other offerings and all looked good. Our server, Kelly, was so sweet and didn't blink when I wanted to leave off the olives and feta from my pizza! She was friendly and attentive - all we could wish for in a server. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

    I came in here on a whim with my friend and I really enjoyed everything about this place. The atmosphere was perfect; it was a warm summer day and we got a table in the shade on the patio in the back. I know some people complained about the L in their reviews, but it wasn't that bad. I had two Oberon's and the Boyler individual/small pizza. I'm pretty plain-jane when it comes to eating, so that was pretty satisfying to my picky taste. That being said, the pizza was good, but not great -- I've had better. In the future, I would probably do the build-your-own pizza so that I could get more of what I wanted. I felt that the menu was quite limited, in that it offers similar ingredients on every pizza but only swaps out one or two to make each pizza unique. I thought the service was relaxed and matched the atmosphere of the restaurant. Servers were attentive yet not overbearing. Price for food/drinks was fair. Overall, I would come back again to try some new things on the menu!

    Went here over the weekend for dinner craving some good thin crust pizza. I was not disappointed and agree with some other reviewers that this is the best thin crust I have had in the city by far. I ordered the BMZ and my wife ordered a Veggie and both were very good. Great craft beer selection to accompany the pizza and friendly service to match. Overall a great place in Lincoln Park. We will be coming back once the weather finally warms up to check out the Patio.

  • Ashley P.

    Get some homie!!!! Okay this place is a must if you ever find yourself in Lincoln park. The patio is amazing. Lots of cool decor and fun things to take photos with. And we had one of the coolest servers I've had at a restaurant in a long time. Shout out to Andrew - were friends on Instagram now :) But to the food. The brunch options were amazing. I had a BBQ pork hash and it was basically a combo of all my favorite foods in one dish. BBQ. Eggs. Potatoes. Game set match! The mimosas were perfect after a long Friday night. Only downfall of the visit - No Gary the French bulldog. Hopefully next time!

    Dat Patio Doe. Dat Pizza Dough. ::Patio Life:: The patio vibe is like a ménage à trois between a log cabin, thrift shop backyard, and sports bar. It's a nice, lively patio with good TV viewing and ample seating. Every now and then the EL rumbles by and makes you pause your conversation for 5 seconds... But it just adds to the city ambiance. Homeslice's patio definitely makes it a destination point to just hang out and relax. ::Beer:: The beer selection is ample, and you can get pitchers of everything on tap. Sure, pitchers of beer? Sounds like the cheap ole' frat-bar trying to put away immense amounts of double-watered-down domestic beers... But they actually have decent beer in pitchers! Maybe this is like a hipster frat. You know the future is NOW when you can get that IPA or Allagash White in a plastic pitcher. For example, we got a pitcher of the hefeweizen on tap (forgot the name) and it was $22. Save a buck, without feeling like a bro-ey fratboy. ::Breadsticks & Goat Cheese:: Oh yeah... so simple, yet so good. The bread is nicely baked to acheive that delectable crust while being nice and fluffy inside. It reminds me of Crazy Bread from little caesar's... except better and fresher. The marinara is also amped up with the goat cheese mixed in. This dish just makes me wanna Dip, Baby, Dip. ::Pizza:: It's not really a NYC Slice. It's not really a Chi Deep Dish. It's not really a Thin Crust.... But the pizza takes on it's own identity as it has a thin enough crust to stay light while housing all the ingredients like a tiny baked AirBnB. -The Mercenary was exploding with flavor with the spiciness, creaminess, cheesiness, and freshness of the vegetables all living harmoniously on the warm crust island. -The Meet Mary was a more simple pie. But it still lived up to great pizza expectations. I'll be around, Homeslice...

    So we decided to try this place thanks to my trusty fellow Yelpers. They did not disappoint. The breadsticks were phenomenal. That goat cheese marinara dip is like an explosion of deliciousness in your mouth! We had the Mr Sanchez pizza and it was like Mexico meets Italy! The flavors blended perfectly, and that crust....oh my god that crust!! It is definitely unique, as others have mentioned here: uniquely and perfectly delicious. And as if that weren't enough, those chocolate chip cookies are incredible. They are filled with chocolate and arrive to your table nice and warm, ready to tempt you to test the limits of your stomach! We sat outside and the ambiance is great. It's very laid back, but still has a classy feel. I definitely recommend this spot!!

  • Jaime G.

    Great pizza place on Lincoln park. Very big and accommodating with two patios and inside area that's fun and lively. The core offering here is pizza - and even gluten free options as well. We had the gluten free breadsticks with goat cheese/tomato sauce. We then tried the pepperoni pizza (regular crust) and it was awesome. Very good tasting crust, sauce and spicy pepperoni. The best though was the greens eggs and ham breakfast pizza. Get this...pesto, fresh cracked eggs, potatoes, and thinly sliced ham. Come here just for that. Service and beer selection are decent. But ready deal with the 20 something crowd.

  • Melanie T.

    My most favorite place in the all of Chicago! Pizza is delicious! It's better than traditional deep dish pizza! I love the variety and daring ingredient combinations! Bre was our server and she was great! I forgot the name of the drink she had suggested me to try but I ordered it and it was refreshingly good! Had a little kick to it since there was a slice of jalapeno in it but it was a good kick. My husband and I sat out back. The patio area is so freaking cute! I can't wait to go back with friends! Without friends is just fine too. Oh and I love the music they play there! When we got there it was a mix of, rap, trap and hip hop...my faves! Definitely coming back! And definitely making myself a regular!

    I want to like Homeslice more than I did. THE GOOD: The Mozzerella Bread Sticks ($9) were on point. Nicely done. I liked the interior design. It feels like you're in a log cabin. That's pretty sweet. THE BAD: When we walked in, the host told us the wait would be 40 minutes for a table. We walked across the street and put in a drink order when all of a sudden... our table at Homeslice was ready. Wha? Hey, I'm all for getting my table earlier than anticipated, but when the wait is just ten minutes, don't guess it's going to be 40. Service was abysmal. Our server totally vanished after taking our orders. We would have ordered more booze and we desperately needed water refills, but she was AWOL. It's also really goddamned loud in Homeslice. Chads and Trixies alike clogged the bar area. Why come to a really crowded pizza restaurant only to order drinks and try to hook up? THE IFFY: The pizza was only so-so. I got the Bennett's Beauty (Small - $12) with pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, mozzarella, provolone & marinara. The crust was pretty dry, in contrast to the bread sticks. Also, all the toppings fell right off as soon as I lifted the slice. You're better off getting pizza from Blaze. I'd come back to Homeslice on a weekday when they'd hopefully have their act together. But really, this is mediocre food in a pizza Mecca like Chicago.

  • Ellie W.

    OMG best gluten-free pizza!!! SERVICE: Our waitress was great! As soon as I mentioned I was "gluten-free" she inquired on specific measures that the kitchen needed to take. She was very educated on the menu and what to suggest. FOOD: My mother and I were quite hungry when we decided to grab a late lunch. We shared a order of cheese-sticks and the Sheffield salad as appetizers. The salad was $7 and plenty to share. We were VERY impressed. The cheese-sticks were good but an extra $3 was added for the GF crust (which we didn't find out until the bill came). We shared a 10" Bennet's Beauty GF pizza and it was great!!! My mom who is not allergic to gluten thought the pizza was as good as any. EXTRA: The scenery was great! We were seated immediately by the window which was opened. It was a little loud when the train went by but I thought it added character. Great place to dine!

    Homeslice is bomb. I've never eaten in the restaurant but have gotten delivery and takeout several times. Try smoke show and ava-lance. Yum yum. FYI although the delivery estimate is always something like 50 minutes, I have NEVER waited more than 20. Ever. It's always on my doorstep super fast. I make pizza at home almost every week but if I get delivery, lately Homeslice is my go-to. Get some homie, indeed!

  • Bree N.

    I used to pass by this place on my way home from work every day and thought the sign was cool, and that's the story of why I brought friends visiting from out of town here. Luckily they were pretty quickly impressed. Homeslice has such a cool vibe - eclectic decor, good music, friendly staff. I loved it before even sitting down. I ordered a ginger sour (yum) plus a Caesar salad and the breadsticks with marinara and goat cheese to start. The salad was weirdly spicy, not bad though, but it was the breadsticks that made the meal what it was. Maybe I'm just a sucker for goat cheese but they were amazing. I got the Da Duba pizza in a personal size and was a little disappointed. I couldn't point out what was wrong with it but it wasn't as good as I was hoping. I think it had something to do with the artichokes tasting off, but maybe I'm just picky. Either way, everyone else seemed to enjoy theirs!

    Great place for any occasion!! Love this place every time we stop by- night, day, weekend, weekday!!! Pizza is ALWAYS great! But really, even when we're not in the mood for pizza, the salads are amazing, soups and appetizers are soooo delicious! So many different types of apps to satisfy the guests- my favorite being the roasted garlic- literally whole pieces of roasted garlic, juicy, soft and melt in your mouth!!! The pie though!! Each and every one of these (and I've tried at least seven different kinds) are very different and delicious in their own way. I'm partial to the Special K, a great concoction of meat and veggies, not too much of the red sauce (I'm weird). And the bread and crust is just perfect- soft and crispy at the same time! And not too heavy like a lot of Chicago pizza. Let's talk about the oh-so-delicious drinks to go with the awesome food!! Because you can't have one, without the other ;) the cool special cocktails are made one-of-a-kind like the Sparkling Gerry that Gilmar perfects every time!! The draft beer they have fits all the different tastes you'll crave too. Not to mention the Moscow Mules they have in the necessary copper mugs ;) they really know how to make it extra special! I could go on and on about the food and drinks but the fun part of stopping by is how nice the staff is! Adam is a huge part of the ambience of this place! He keeps everything going and everyone smiling! I love it!!! Always makes you feel at home when you stop by. Great place!!!

    Can I just say THIS PLACE IS THE BOMB. It literally is everything I want in a restaurant. They were throwin it back July 3rd with some really good 2000's HIP HOP & RnB classics. Ugh, Loved it. The pizza's here are soo so good. We tried all of them at least once. The pizzas come out freshly made with not a lot of sauce and a bunch of veggies and meat (that's how I LIKE IT!) I was with a party of 12 people and this place accommodates well for large groups. Although we didn't have the chance to sit outside maybe next time? Our server was great and always came promptly to give drinks,shots, and take our pizza orders. Parking was easy to get right across the street but I would say this place can get really busy especially if there is a game on. I would def recommend anyone to come here for great drinks and pizza and a good a** time! P.S. Thank you to our server for bringing out the birthday boy and girl ice cream snickers bars with a baby candle to blow out!

    This review is kind of painful to write. Let me begin by saying I absolutely love their food & the outdoor seating here, hence why I keep coming back. However, the service is horrible. I have been here a handful of times & it seems to keep getting worse. This past Saturday a group of 6 of us came here for brunch. Our waitress had no idea what the "Breakfast Pizza" was (ummm, you work here) & was very rude every time we asked her a question. We all ordered mimosas & they all seemingly had different amounts of champagne in them. We sent back a couple & instead of serving us new ones, our waitress told us that they were fine. Um, no. I am not paying $8 for a glass of shitty orange juice. When it came time to get a our check that was another ordeal, which yet again resulted in our waitress having a poor attitude to us paying customers. I wish the management would get the staff right because this place has the potential of being one of the most enjoyable outdoor eating spots in Chicago. I will not be coming back in the near future.

    Pretty good addition the neighborhood. It's very adorable inside. The pizza is ok, not amazing. Their salads are amazing though! The service is a little slow whenever we come in. Plus everyone dresses like they just rolled out of bed. But it's a good go to spot.

    Now I've been here twice and I can truly say I'm a big fan of Homeslice. This restaurant has a nice patio area, so take advantage of sitting back there if the time of year is right. They have a ton of heaters so you can sit outside even when it's a bit chilly. The restaurant is normally pretty packed every evening, so prepare for a wait if you've got four or more people in your group. The menu is large and they have a huge variety of pizzas, which is obviously why you came here, so peruse and enjoy more than one. Even if there's only two of you, get two smalls to share (or three and take home the leftovers). I always find the menu a bit overwhelming since there's so many choices so I always have my dining companions pick whatever they want and I've always enjoyed what they've ordered. The Party Boi, Clay Bacon and Zephy are pizzas I've had with the same group of people twice and they're always delicious. The combos of veggies, meat, and spices are delicious and no pizza ever seems like it has too much or too little going on. They don't take reservations for large groups so you need to just wait once you get there. If it's off-peak times, they will seat one person waiting for a large group so that's nice since a lot of places don't do that anymore. Since it was early enough (6:00 p.m.) one of our eight was seated before we arrived and that was awesome since we just had a place to sit once we all started trickling in. Nice and close to DePaul, good food, decent drink prices and an interesting cocktail menu. Worth a trip, especially with friends.

    Reasons Why I liked Homeslice! -Patio Seating! -Lots of varieties on pizza- look up menu online if you are an indecisive person! -Close to an El! -Great Location in Lincoln Park -Prices for Pizza are all around 12-14 -Easy to share! -Not overfilling like pizza can be -2 dollar desserts which are Frozen Icecream Cake Pops -Beer selection -Perfect Happy Hour spot -Perfect Place to Watch a Game -Great open space That pretty much sums it up! It's a fun pizza stop to enjoy your time with a casual date, friends, or one person!

    By far my new favorite place. Last night was my first time. Upon arrival I was so happy to find that this location has a large amount of parking surrounding the restaurant. The patio outside was simply perfect. You wouldn't have guessed that this location had this behind it. The only problem with the patio situation was the "L" being right above but that I don't hold against them. Loved the selection of music. The staff was really great as well. The food was also really good. I had a blackened chicken Caesar salad. While also having the hoch to drink. Which was also good even though I am not a fan of sour drinks. My friends had the pizza and calzones and raved about how great their food was. Overall a great experience and definitely will be going back.

    a little update... We decided to hit up Homeslice again after boating all day. This time we added breadsticks to our order and they were phenom. Best breadsticks I have ever tasted in my life.

    What a great atmosphere! I really like the decor and the whole vibe of the place. Came here for brunch and was pleasantly surprised. If it hadn't been so hot outside, I would've loved to sit on their patio. Next time. I got the breakfast-za and it was great! Basically the perfect size for one person, or to share with two people if you both aren't super hungry. The eggs were cooked perfectly (maybe could've used a tad more bacon, but so can everything). No complaints, really. I believe I got a mimosa and for the price, I wish it had been bigger but that's typical of brunch around Chicago. My sister got the bloody mary -- topped with a cold slice of pizza! I don't remember what she ate but I remember her finishing it and being full and happy.

    Ah Homeslice, I see you every day on the way in and out of work as I trundle by on the "L". You are so cute and kitchie, perfect for the neighborhood you reside. I have now been here twice and will say that their service is exemplary, on the spot, helpful, offering of advice, helping to navigate the menu, all around good at it. Only negative... almost too quick on the clear. I had just taken the last bite and my partner was still eating yet you swooped in and cleared my plate. Makes one feel rushed. Food, We split a Sheffield salad between the two of us then moved on to a small Big Teve, guys you make a good pie. Great topping options that are creative but not too much. Pretty much my only gripe about the place is holy freaking smokes your place LOUD. I am not talking about the L running by, that is kind of neat, but F me that place is full of energy and loud patrons, music and TV's. I have always found that loud music begets loud patrons begets louder music begetting louder patrons, it is a bit of a Catch-22 but could be mitigated a bit by not continually raising the audio, you are not a club after all. Then again maybe I am just getting to be an old ass man who will soon be shaking my fist at shadows but is has caused me, and the young lady, to close up our tab faster than we normally would.

    Great place to stop by for a quick slice of pizza (about $4) for lunch! Staff is friendly and pizza is so yummy! Crust is chewy, bottom of slice is crunchy, pizza is juicy and hot, hot pepper flakes and parmesan cheese are offered, napkins come in the carry-out bag, wait is only 5 minutes or less. I'd come back here to pick up lunch again! There are 3 options for pizza by the slice: cheese, pepperoni, and special of the day. Pizza slices are only available until 3pm, if I remember correctly. They also sell canned sodas. There's a separate section for carry out orders, which is near the back of the place by the kitchen. Pizza was fresh! Maybe I'll try dining in next time I'm here.

    This place is he beesknees. I ditched work one day to go galavanting around the city one day. My friend and I hit up Hot Dogs(obviously this went down before they closed) then we went shopping then we came to homeslice! They literally have the best rice Krispy treat you will ever eat! It's gooey, chewy and perfect. We each ordered a pizza they were delish! We ordered 2 different small veggie pizzas and split them between the two of us. We still had leftovers (bonus)! We also had a Bloody Mary or two. The glasses they come in are super cute and even say homeslice on them. I can't wait to come back to this spot and sit on the back patio. That's definitely going on my must do list for this summer! The bathroom is pretty awesome too! The floor and wall are pennies. This place is all around awesome from the service, to the drinks, to the pizza, to the desserts you just need to be here at least once.

    I love this place. It has great food and a great atmosphere. It's a great place for dates but it is loud so if the focus of your meal is to chat, I'd sit at a bar or ask for quieter seating in the back!

    Popped in for a quick lunch - had a decent Cesar salad for $7 and a slice ($4) of the Smoke Show, featuring flavorless chicken, raw jalapenos, cream cheese, chili flakes, a sprinkle of mozzarella and provolone, garlic and olive oil. Filled the hole for less than $15 with a soft drink.

    Really like this place. They have an awesome outdoor area and the inside it pretty as well. Came here for lunch on Saturday. I didn't understand why they carded me at the door at noon, even though there was kids in the place. We ordered a medium pizza and it was really really good! The service was a little slow though. We saw our waiter maybe 2 times the whole meal. He wasn't very attentive and we had to go find him to try to refill our drinks. I definitely want to come back here to lunch or dinner sometime to try something else.

    Not as bad as some have said, but I can definitely feel the tide change into a hipster orgy as time drifted into the later hours. Our server was very nice and stopped by frequently. We even got to meet the owners dog, Gary. Super cute. The pizzas were all very interesting and they had quite a few of legit veggie options. Im not a vegetarian by any means, but I really like specialty veggie pizzas. Prices were on par for the area, and all in all I had a good experience.

    Can't say enough good things about this place. Service, food and decor were all excellent. I wish I lived in the Chicago area so I could frequent this place. Skip the touristy deep dish spots and get some Homeslice pizza.

    Second time here in a month and have to update based on the great food and service my friends and I received last night. We came over after missing out on trivia at State and were seated immediately at one of the tables in the covered patio out back. It took awhile for the waitress to finally come but once she did, she provided excellent service to the 7 of us. We had a few pitchers of Lagunitas and Bell's Two Hearted to wash down our pizza and salads. Everyone seemed to love their food and they even accommodated my friend's strange order (he's majorly allergic to cheese--not just mildly lactose intolerant) and allowed us to just chill at our table without trying to rush us out. Definitely a better experience than my first and I hope they continue to improve!

    The salad!! I've had the pizza before, and it's pretty good, but this review is for the salad! Specifically, the blackened chicken caesar, but with the gorgonzola vinaigrette instead of the caesar. Perfect. So good. I really want the recipe for that dressing. It's basil-y and delicious, and goes perfectly with the sundried tomatoes and chicken. I would definitely come back just for this, plus it's a great deal. Mangia!

    Homeslice is the epicenter of progressive pizza culture - I eat here around three times a week. Great staff, relaxing atmosphere, amazing pizza, killer beer selection and the best Moscow Mules I've ever had. Natalie, Adam, Ryan, Caitlin, Heidi, Matt and the whole Homeslice gang make the experience unparalleled. It's the type of place you can find yourself staying all day. I would recommend the Clay Bacon Pizza with the Goat Cheese Marinara Sauce on the side to dip it in.

  • Mat M.

    So, So, So Good! Homeslice is an AWESOME pizza joint - with a great atmosphere, great drinks and of course good pizza! A fun place to catch up with friends, watch the Oregon Ducks - or just chill on a weeknight. The place is great. Highly recommended and can't wait to go back!

    Privileged upper/middle class college kids taking selfies and generally being douchebags are the backdrop for this trainwreck of mediocre food and pathetic service. Yes, these are the kids who spent half their lives in the back of their parents' SUV's being shuttled between school, soccer and gymnastics classes in suburbia. They now spend half their waking hours texting and posting to Facebook, and the other half seeking out places where they can feel edgy by fist pumping, head nodding and ineptly twerking to mainstream rap. Homeslice is obviously one of their local proving grounds for perfecting the art of the serious-face group selfie, and bonding over their collective delusion that rap is the meaningful soundtrack of their generation. In the midst of all these antics, they run up huge bar tabs and eat the overpriced pizza (Thanks Mom & Dad!) being served here by yet more self absorbed college kids who are obviously more concerned with the way they look and checking texts at break time than anything that resembles real wait service. This place has the distinction of being the first pizza place I've ever hated in Chicago. Not only did they get our order wrong, but then our server (who never apologized) told us that we should have ordered online -- because the loud noise and music makes it hard for them to hear the orders correctly. Boo. Hoo. From there, she never asked us if we wanted beverages other than water, and only checked on us once toward the end of our meal (with zero expression on her face). After that, she went missing for 15 minutes, and we ended up having to ask the guy clearing tables for takeout boxes. But of course, there she was out of nowhere after everything was said and done -- dropping our check off with the only semi-smile of the evening... and obviously feeling entitled to a tip after all the hard work she'd done. (Of note, she didn't even have the presence of mind to take off the charges for the ingredients they had added by mistake!) Sadly, our "server" was not the only person working at Homeslice who didn't have a clue. Throughout our meal, we watched the hostess huddle around the front desk with other staff members for little bonding sessions (complete with high fives) over the endless rap playlist blasting over the speakers. And if that wasn't bad enough, she even made a sad attempt at "twerking" to Sir Mix-a-Lot -- along with quite a few of the drunk party girls spilling out of the bar area to adjust their hair, take selfies and wait for their boyfriends to head bob and fist pump their way to and from the bathroom like the streetwise urban warriors they were destined to become. At the end of the day, the pizza at Homeslice was only about a 4 in comparison to the bevy of other great options in the city. There was nothing at all special about this pizza -- other than the fact it came with a bunch of tired baggage. It was basically on par with airport food. If you are over 30, want to feel really really old, and be treated like you don't exist while eating Paris & Kim's idea of a good Chicago pizza, you gotta check this place out! Absolutely abysmal.

    Great pizza joint that is NOT Chicago style! We live in the neighbor and the atmosphere is so homey. Love the gourmet style pizza... Our favorites are the knife and forkner as well as the A-Val-lance veggie pizza. Also the Sheffield salad is amazing!! Definitely a must have! We love eating there.

    I came here back in October for a lunch stop with a friend who was visiting from out of town. I always see it from the El on my way to work and the sign is so cute, it gets me every time. We started with some homemade chips and salsa. They were pretty run of the mill, but good. We were starving so everything helps! For the pizza, we ordered the Mac Diesel: Pepperoni, mushrooms, romas, red onions, mozzarella, provolone & House sauce Although pizza is pretty standard and hard to mess up, this one was really good. The crust was soft in the right places and crunchy in the right places. It had great spices and just really hit the spot. With that and a couple of beers, we had the perfect amount of food and warmed ourselves up on a Fall afternoon. The pizzas all sounded awesome so I want to go back for more!

    I was recently at Homeslice for the first time a few weeks ago and it was by far the BEST pizza in Chicago! Everything about this place is amazing! Impeccable customer service from the entire staff which is odd these days. The appetizers and dessert were also winners! The place is super cool inside and their outdoor area is very hip and original. I look forward to my next visit! Yay for Homeslice!!!!

  • Christopher P.

    We ordered two small Smoke Show and Hughes Delight pizzas. I enjoyed the Hughes Delight because, but I would not recommend the Smoke Show. The chicken was dry and cream cheese was used in lieu of sauce so overall the pizza was dry. I give four stars based on the atmosphere. Without that, I would give it 3.

    We went here for dinner with a party of 8 + 1 highchair. We weren't planning on going here so we didn't have a reservation. The hostess was very helpful and spotted some tables that looked like they would be done soon. We only had to wait about 20 minutes but it was also around 5pm. We ordered 3 large pizzas and probably had about a full pizza leftover. They were huge!! And the slices were cut huge as well. We got one veggie, one with roasted chicken, and one with pepperoni. They definitely don't skimp on the toppings. The roasted garlic that was on two of the pizzas was awesome -- if you love garlic which I do. It was literally full cloves of roasted garlic. I got a Moscow mule as my drink which was good but not great. A few people at our table got beer and wine but I don't think the drinks are why people come here. No one had anything to say about the pizza! I would definitely go back here!

  • Amber C.

    I love Homeslice! I went here on a Friday afternoon with some friends and we ordered the Lew-Wow... Wow! It was so good. I'd never tried Hawaiian pizza before but the fruit on top was great and the Canadian bacon was a bit crispy, just how I like it! It was thin crust pizza and we got a medium. Perfect for 3 people! It comes with 6 slices and was only $21, so it wasn't bad to split up when it came time to pay. One of my friends is allergic to dairy, and they have LOTS of vegan, dairy free and even gluten free options! My first experience was great. I go to DePaul and Homeslice is like a 2 minute walk away from campus. Can't believe I'd never tried it before! Highly recommend it and I'll definitely be back to try more stuff.

  • Dan F.

    I have been coming to Homeslice off and on for the last three months and I realized quicky that this place can offer something no other place in Chicago can. A consistent positive atmosphere. That said, their breadsticks with goat cheese marinara sauce is what I would recommend to any first timer. You can't miss with the pizza.

  • K.K. D.

    My husband and I went here for lunch. I follow them on Instagram and the food always looked delicious. We sat out back on the patio. The L train runs by every few minutes and at first I thought that's going to be annoying but it wasn't it really added to the charm of this Chicago neighborhood pizza place. The bathroom floor was made of Penny's! Super cool. Now let's talk pizza! The crust was crispy. All the ingredients were fresh and the cheese was melts and stringy just the way I like it with a little snap to it when you are pulling a slice away from the pie. The service was good. Loved it!

  • Naz E.

    This restaurant is in the heart of DePaul and is teeming with young students! It requires an id to get in and specializes in.. Pizza of course! My husband and I got the jalapeño homies. We figured these were pretty standards fried spicy cheese balls; however we were wrong! These were jalapeños cut in half filled with delicious cheese, bacon, and chives with a side of BBQ sauce! It was a delicious suprise and definitely enough for 2-3 people. I got a BBQ chicken pizza and my husband got a chicken and garlic pizza. We were super full after each getting the small size and only having half! The crust is incredible and they have a pretty darn awesome house made dill ranch! Overall, the atmosphere was definitely a young crowd but fun! We had virtually no wait on Mother's Day in the morning brunch time! We were seated on a back patio that had amazing lounge seating for groups! This is an awesome place to go out with your friends and older family!

    Went to Homeslice tonight, jotted down a few notes. .. Well, let's jump into it - Let me start this off by saying the food, while delicious, was an afterthought. The real stars of the show were our two servers, the best duo since Simon and Garfunkle. Sara - the type of girl you would want to bring home to your mom. A fearless leader, the type of chick you'd want in your foxhole. And not to mention a smile that'll make you freeze in your footsteps. Kate - the type of girl you'd want bring home to your mom. A quick learner, with a real knack for connecting with the customer. Not the mention her eyes sparkle like Lake Michigan on a sunny day. All in all, I'm definitely going back . Or hopefully seeing them down the street at marquee lounge.

    I went here on a Thursday night for dinner. It was a party of three and they were able to seat us right away. We were seated at the outdoors area and the decor was amazing. The lights and the music really gave the atmosphere a welcoming feel. The drinks were good, we got a pitcher of Sparkling Gerry, Jalapeno Homies and medium sizer funky chicken. The service was excellent and the our waitress was able to answer any questions. A really great place to hangout with friends.

    Awesome pizza spot. The pizza is actually great. Thin dough, great toppings. I only wish there was prosciutto and mushroom options. You're left with Canadian bacon, I wish there was actual bacon. Numerous tvs, so if you want to catch the game and have a good lunch, come here! The drinks are great and good options for beer. Definitely recommend this spot! Outdoor seating is always the best!

  • Taylor V.

    Homeslice is amazing and I've never once had a complaint until this evening when I was waiting for a table, never did I mind the wait, and I heard the host with the dirty blonde bun in the long sleeve Hawks shirt and black shorts say to the host behind the desk "why are people still putting their names on the list?" The other host replied with "I don't know". I didn't know having business and people wanting to wait to eat in your restaurant was an issue for people who strive to make money. I guess as a guest it made me feel like I was doing something wrong by waiting... Robin outside was awesome though for being the only server. Thanks Robin! Per usual pizza and hummus rocked it!

  • Sarah G.

    For a place full of fake, shiny wood cabin logs as decor, this place actually felt pretty homey inside. I think all of that fake cabin feel actually made me feel warmer inside! And if you are into an overwhelming selection of pizza options, this place is that. We had trouble just reading through all of the pizza options and then we decided to try something novel we hadn't seen before--cream cheese on a pizza! Yes, I know that sounds gross. And I was hesitant too and I even asked the server how cream cheese was on a pizza since they actually have multiple version of cream cheese pizzas here! Who would have thought! But we decided to jump on board after our server said that the cream cheese melts into it all so you can't even really tell, and she was right. We got a pizza with cheese, cream cheese, roasted chicken and jalapenos and it was pretty tasty. And thin crust too which I am always a fan of. But I don't really know why the pizza took so long to get our to our table. A medium size is good for two people and at around $23 for that size it isn't too pricey of a dining out option at all. And another bonus? The bathroom has pennies everywhere! Laminated into the walls and floors, I had to make myself go to the bathroom twice just to check it out again ha ha

    What was supposed to be a small gathering of 4 friends suddenly turned into a bash of 12 hungry and thirsty souls one quiet night and thanks to Jamie behind the bar and Jessica on the service floor we all had the best night. Appetizers of hummus, goat cheese dip and chips n salsa came out quick and hot to help the absorb the round of shots the celebration demanded and soon enough the pizzas followed to silence all of our loudness into submission. Lots of sports on the walls of light and cozy warm heat lamps in the back VIP area full of comfy couches and even more sports to gather around. Gets louder with the overhead red and brown line CTA, but its chicago at its finest. cheers!

    This is my favorite spot in Lincoln Park! Great pizza (knife and forkner is my favorite) with an incredible atmosphere! The patio out back has the coolest vibe and even has heaters for when it gets cold! They sometimes give out smores when the weather gets cold. The staff is nothing but fun and energetic to be there. I've eaten there multiple times a week and am not ashamed of that! Great pizza! GO HERE!

    Awesome place! Great food - we had the jalapeño homies and they were bomb! Then had the funky chicken and zephy pizzas (between the two of us, it was the perfect amount, both smalls). Our waiter Carter was awesome! It was our first time at the restaurant and we were visiting from out of town and he was very generous.

  • Eddie G.

    The ambiance is uniquely cool. With my six other friends, I enjoyed the garlic spread appetizer and a Bloody Mary in the rustic van reserved for larger parties seeking outside dining. The 8$ Bloody Mary at Homeslice is epicness: a homemade mix, garnished with Hawaiian pizza, a pepper and pepperoni, and it's served with a side of Coronita beer. Go.

  • Shayla P.

    Service here was awful. We moved to another table because our server never showed up. The waitress we ended up with made excuses for not giving us attention. We had to constantly ask other servers for refills, and our check. We probably could have walked out without paying and nobody would have noticed. I suggest sitting at the bar if you want service. Best part about this place was the food.

  • Corey C.

    The pizza was disappointing. A bit dry. Go somewhere else for pizza if that's what you're looking for. The drinks looked good, but they wouldn't serve me. I had forgotten my ID, but I'm 31. Maybe I should chalk it up to a compliment? Overall a disappointing experience given the hopes we had for this place as visitors from out of town.

    Absolutely love this place. Great people / staff, great atmosphere and incredible pizza. The outdoor space is great for dinner with friends or for a date. They also have great beers and house drinks. Get the Moscow Mule - they do it right here. Appetizers are also to die for - make sure to get the goat cheese and breadsticks and the meatball. The owners, Josh and Clay, are awesome guys and know customers by name. Super homey neighborhood feel. 100% recommended to anyone!!

    I cannot say enough good things about this place - it's our favorite and by "ours" I mean me and all my friends !! Everything from the pizza to the drinks and the staff, this place is our go-to spot when hunger calls!!! Get the spicy margs & the smoke show pizza. Also the meatball to split with friends is great!! Thanks to everyone there for always making it a memorable experience. ( what happens in the airstream stays in the airstream ).

    Homeslice - you renewed my faith in the DePaul area of Lincoln Park. Since graduating from DPU more than a couple of years ago now, I haven't really had reason to go back very much, except to sometimes relive my college days by going into Kelly's or McGee's for a hot second and realizing I'm too old for such foolishness. Sure, there are plenty of other good restaurants in the area, just further away. This is probably the best spot to visit in the campus area. The last time we stopped in, it was the first night of my bachelorette weekend. We were just looking to relax in a fun atmosphere with some pizza and cocktails to kick off festivities and that's exactly what we got and more. We were seated pretty quickly in one of the little outdoor couch booths. We were drinking pitchers of the hooch, which I highly recommend. We started with a goat cheese and bread appetizer. All the pizzas we tried after that were amazing - a BBQ chicken one, a veggie one, and a hawaiian type one. I've come to the conclusion that none of the pizzas you could order would be bad. They handled our fairly large group really well and we had a great time, plus everyone loved the food. I only wish Homeslice was there when I was a student because I would have gone every weekend! I will definitely return to campus any day to visit Homie.

    Let me just start by saying, the homies at homeslice hooked it up! When we arrived we were quickly seated and attended to. A member of our group needed a phone charger and they provided a charging block (so dope)! We began with the breadsticks and goat cheese dip. I'm a huge goat cheese fan, and thought the goat cheese flavor was kind of subtle. But everyone else at the table felt it was very goat cheesy. Our original group of 5 ordered and split 4 small pizzas (FYI it is four slices for a small; six for a medium; 8 for a large). It ended up being a good amount and we had a bunch of left overs! We ordered the Knife and Forkner, BMZ, Meet Mary, and the Funky McChicken. They were ALL delicious and tasted super fresh. My favorite was probably the Knife and Forkner! The BBQ sauce set it above the other pizzas. When I come back, I will FO SHO be ordering that again. We didn't stick around for dessert because the options sounded kind of generic. But we were also SO full! My favorite part about this place is the overall vibe and the great service! The bathroom design was pretty cool. The general ambiance of the eating space is a blend of rustic and urban. I forgot to check out the patio, but when I come back I'd love to eat out there. Lastly, the homies at homeslice were super friendly. We were originally going to order 4 medium pizzas (instead of smalls) and she was honest with us and said the smalls would probably be enough. We appreciated the honesty, homies! Cant wait to return! =)

    After emailing Homeslice about my poor experience, the manager promptly got back to me and was very helpful and kind. I will say they have good customer service which will bring me back to try again.

    The BMZ is one of my favorite pizzas in Chicago! It has Canadian bacon, pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, black olives, cheddar, mozzarella, provolone & ranch sauce Also, I highly recommend the Bloody Mary with a Sidecar

    We've rode by on the Brown Line several times and have been wanting to try their outside patio. We stopped by a few weeks ago, and while we were quoted about 30 minutes for an outside seat, it only took about 10. While waiting for our table, we stopped at the bar, and since I'm more of a "fruity" cocktail fan, I asked for some advice from the bartender. She was the only drawback of Homeslice. She could not have been less helpful or friendly. She suggested one and then literally turned her back on me and finished re-arranging some clean glasses. We tried the Vodka Radler, and Ginger Sour and neither were that good, so those were the only drinks we had for the evening. We opted not to invest more money in a less than ideal bartender. The outside (in back) is beautiful (they also have seating in the front but definitely not the same ambiance as the back). Some are booths and some are picnic tables, but there are dividers between your side and the group next to you. It's definitely a "young" crowd place - being so close to Depaul. I can see this place getting pretty loud late at night. My husband and I each started with the Mixed Greens salad - which was very good and larger than I would have expected. Certainly not a small side salad. We would have loved to have tried the breadsticks, but there was like 10 per order - way too many for two people. We then got the Smoke Show medium pizza, and it was delicious. The crust made the pizza - nice and airy and great ingredients. Overall - great food and atmosphere and we will be back.

    Homeslice takes the wheel for an all around kickass local hangout/bar/restaurant. It's more than just a pizza joint. The drinks are bomb [seasonal Moscow Mules and the Bloody Mary's are their signatures]. All of the food is super tasty and they're always experimenting with new menu items and seasonal treats. I say start with the mozzarella breadsticks or a Sheffield Salad and move on to the 'za of your choice-my pick is the Bennett's Beauty [truly a beauty]. Oh and please get your pizza with a side of ranch sauce-it's life changing. Go there for good eats, good drinks and good vibes. The food, awesome and ever-changing patio, throwback 90's rap playlist and the friendly owners, managers and staff are enough to keep regulars happy and newbies coming back for more. Seriously though, stop reading yelp and go get some homie.

    This is such a fun spot for a group dinner or lunch. The atmosphere is great and the drinks/food do not disappoint! I recommend their spicy pizzas and Bloody Mary. The wait is never too long and their back patio is the perfect spot for a pizza night with friends. Be sure to stick around for the hot s'mores they pass out later in the evening!

    American-style pizza; chips and salsa; guacamole; salads... all average. Drinks: had a whiskey mixed drink (disgusting!), a tequila cocktail (disgusting), and a third spiced cocktail (disgusting!). All drinks were terrible. Coffee: a-ok!

    Such a fun atmosphere, our server was great, he noticed the iu logo on the credit card and we found out he was also a recent transplant to Chicago and gave us a huge list of things to check out. The pizzas were perfectly cooked and fast

    My girlfriend suffers from celiac's disease so I have had my fair share of cardboard flavored gluten free pizzas. Homeslice's GF pizza is hands down THE BEST gluten free pie I have tasted. While i love a thin crust, this pizza actually had some body to it and if I hadn't known any better I would never guess it was gluten free. I will absolutely be back.

    My friend took me to this place when I was visiting and I really enjoyed it...I mean deep dish is so Chicago, but how many carbs can a girl take? Upon walking in, I really liked the cool (clean) hipster vibe I got - modern furnishings and wood finishes through out. I ordered a Moscow mule which was delish and served out of the very necessary copper mug. We shared a Caesar to start -not hard to messup, well dressed and topped with crispy buttery croutons. For pizzas we order the knife and forkner - I'm not usually a fan of bbq sauced pizzas but this one had a great balance of toppings and bbq sauce - nothing overpowered anything else. The crust was amaze - crispy, not too much breading and just tasted darn good. We also orded th Schira Palin which was not very impressive - when it mentioned garlic, I was not expecting full cloves of garlic all over - a definite don't if you're on a date! But surprisingly even with all that garlic, I found the flavor bland - nothing on the pizza was seasoned - a pretty boring taste, like I was eating merely for sustanance without any pleasure for my tastebuds, a disappointment. Even though I only enjoyed one of the pizzas, I thought the place was cool and everything else I saw looked really good. I'll be back for some pizza next time I'm in town to try some of their other selections!

    Homeslice is one of my favorite pizza places in the city! I can not say how much I LOVE this place! The vibe is super chill and urban, yet homey. The outdoor patio in the summer is so much fun and has a cool old motor home acting as the bar. The Knife and Forker pizza, Goat Sticks, and Caesar Salad are my go to items. Their ranch dressing is the best I've had! Ohhhh and they have huge homemade rice crispy treats. They aren't on the menu, but are in the back by the pick-up station. Ask your waitress and she'll bring one to you. They taste just like grandmas! HomeSlice, also has an amazing beer selection and some great cocktails. The moscow mule is on point and their brunch Bloody Mary is a little piece of heaven. If you don't want the traditional deep dish Chicago pizza then I totally recommend giving Homeslice a try.

    Good place to go if you have a large group and want a chill environment to nom on some pizza and have some beers. We went here w/ a party of 7 on a Tuesday night and they were able to seat us immediately in the back room on some sofa tables (warning: be careful when you plop your butt down to sit on the sofas - they're lower than you think!). There's a huge selection of pizzas - a bit overwhelming for me, but some people like having lots of options. The pizzas are alright - I had the BMZ and was satisfied, but I definitely wasn't blown away by it. The prices are fair: the girls ordered salads, the guys all got a small pizza to themselves, and we all split 4 pitchers of beer - this came out to about $26/person before tip. Service was good and we didn't have to wait a long time for our food. Also, each table has a bottle of Sriracha (in addition to the standard shakers of parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes), which I thought was awesome. Be warned though that one of the trains is right next to the restaurant, so you're able to hear it every time it passes by. 3.5 stars overall, but rounding up for the dope name, homie.

    The wife & I were in the area and went to Homeslice this afternoon. We were not impressed. We got a meaty pizza (BMZ I believe), and noticed that the bottom crust was sopping wet with grease. Some of that could have been due to the grease from the meat, but it should have been a bit thicker to compensate for this. We also had the Not Your Father's Root Beer, which was fantastic, and I would strongly recommend it.

    Came Monday evening and place was pretty busy but not super packed. Our group of three was seated and given our menus promptly. Placed an order of the breadsticks with goat cheese sauce, ordered drinks, and all came in a timely manner. Just a minute after that, we were ready to place our order for pizza. However, our waiter was no where to be found. Actually, we saw him numerous times passing us but helped every other table instead. We even thought he distinctively stared at our table, noticing our menus still out, but again neglected us. We waited over 10 minutes to order and that was only because my bf had to chase and flag him down as he was running away again. We weren't even seated in the back. Pizzas came out in a timely manner and they were good. I had the Schira Palin. However, with the pizza game in the Chi being more competitive, I don't find myself craving or needing Homeslice pizza, unlike I do for Coalfire, Armitage Pizzeria, or Pequod's. However, I do enjoy the setting and comfort of Homeslice. We were in the middle of eating and our waiter just brings us take out boxes for our leftovers, which was odd, as they usually ask you first, especially since my bf eventually finished all of his food and thus, not needing a box. Check was given promptly. Not very impressed with this place anymore. Not horrible but our waiter was completely out of it. Definitely not a must go-to anymore.

    I attend DePaul University. I come here after class for lunch around 1130. It's a good place. I love the servers and bartenders they have here. They are very friendly and helpful. I haven't been here when it's busy so I can't speak to the service during crunch time but when I do come it's great. They have a wide variety of pizza in the menu. Some of the stuff in the menu may sound confusing or intimidating but if you ask your server for something simple they will definitely accommodate. The food is delicious and If you drink you have to try their Moscow Mule.

    They served everyone in my party water except for me. Then when they refilled everyone's water they skipped me again. I asked for a Diet Pepsi 3 or 4 times and they never brought me that either. Rude and it is difficult to eat pizza with a dry mouth.

    Love homeslice! The breadsticks with the goat cheese is amazing, and the pizzas are tasty. And the salads are good! really, you can't go wrong! I go there often, and today I had a bad experience with delivery. I called Homeslice to discuss, as I believe in talking with the restaurant first before making a bad yelp post. The manager, Amanda, was SO nice, and So apologetic and made the whole experience great, so I give them 5 stars for customer service!! Thank you Amanda!

    I've been here a couple times and I've never had any big complaints. The food is good, especially the pizza, and the place is wicked cool inside! I've met the owner who is extremely nice and you can tell he has pride for his establishment. The only thing is that the menu is a little obscure and I often get lost in trying to follow it & find what I want, I think if they reorganized and renamed some things it may be easier. Lastly, my last time here my water glass sat empty for way too long (a HUGE pet peeve of mine). Other than that the food is great and I love the decor most of all!

  • Jason H.

    I want to say that I have been in contact with Homeslice after my last experience. They not only offered to compensate us for the poor experience that we had and were willing to pay for any damages to my wife's clothing. That does go a long way in my book and think that it is worth giving them another chance.

    I've never had a pizza here I didn't like. I get carry out and it's still awesome by the time I get home... eat the leftovers the next day at work. Don't get me wrong I would love to hang out in that Airstream out back... But I ain't got time for that. Inside is cool too and damn those bloodies are nice! I've tried most of their meticulously crafted pizzas and never been disappointed.

  • Juliann E.

    Enjoyed the homey atmosphere of this place. We were seated out on the covered patio. Only thing was that as the sun went down, the heat was cranked, making it extremely warm. But we are in transitional weather, so it can be hard to tell. Staff seated us promptly and were very friendly. I had the Special K with marinara sauce instead of the ricotta pesto. Not bad, but not the greatest I've had, either. But there are other pizzas that I'd like to try! The menu is very extensive; it was hard to choose!

  • Rachel H.

    All I have to say is this is the best gluten free pizza in the city. It's the best because the crust is thick and you can get any of their pizzas on a small gluten free crust. Did you hear that....ANY OF THEIR PIZZAS COME ON GLUTEN FREE CRUST!!! That's amazing! And they have so many unique options to choose from. This place is great. I love it

    Have been to Homeslice countless times....you already know the pizza is good and the cocktails are strong so I will speak to service. The hostess team is always accommodating. I have yet to have poor service and today's lunch with Andrew was particularly great. So friendly, gave honest opinions to our questions and is just the right amount of attentive. Get some, homies !

    Went for lunch, ordered salad and pizza. Salad was large, fresh, well balanced. Pizza was outstanding, great crust, marinara sauce was the best I've ever had. Italian sausage was spicy but not to hot. Pricing was extremely affordable for the quality. It was topped off by service from Andrew that made the whole experience worth writing a review.

    Finally had a chance to check out Homeslice and liked almost every thing about it. Four of us arrived at 7pm on a Friday night. We wanted to sit on the famous back patio (there are only so many patio days left for the year!) and were told the wait would be 45mins-1hr. They took my phone number (loooooove when places do this rather than forcing me to stand around awkwardly at an already too crowded bar) and a little less than an hour later our table was ready, as promised. We started with an order of their mozzarella breadsticks, which were good, but took quite some time to come out. For the main, we opted to get individual small pizzas rather than a larger one to share. The small is perfect for one person and since we all ordered something different, we got to try 4 different ones. I can't remember what the others had (although they were very good), but my "smoke show" pizza was great. Everyone else had beer, while I opted for a cocktail; it was too sweet, so next time I'll steer clear of that. The patio was a lot of fun and the atmosphere great. Service was friendly. I expected the prices to be higher and am glad they weren't. Overall an enjoyable experience and a place I'd definitely recommend.

    The back patio at this joint is nothing less than phenomenal. You get the whole campfire-bonding-with-my-homies feel. There's a train cart at the back of the yard with tables and seats inside, with couches on top of turf just outside of that. I believe there's a sign that reads "BE AWESOME" outside as well, with spiffy little lights scattered across everywhere. On top of the sweet homey atmosphere, the pizza is outstanding. The BBQ chicken and Bloody Mary with a piece of Hawaiin pizza in it will have me strolling into this place for brunch on many, many Sunday mornings.

    I went to homeslice for brunch last weekend and I had a great time. Weather was perfect for sitting outside on the patio along the sidewalk but they also had wide open windows open if you wanted to sit inside. On the weekend the normal menu is available all day along with a special brunch menu. I wanted to try something on the brunch menu so I got the bacon egg and cheese pizza. It was truly delicious and I ate the whole thing even tho I should have eaten half. My friend got the Very Gary gluten free pizza and she said it was the best gluten free pizza she had ever had. My ex and I had tried making gluten free pizzas at home but had never really turned out truly pizza like results but this looked fluffy and chewy like a pizza crust should! I don't even like pizza very much but I can't wait to go back and try different things at homeslice. The calzones looked great!!

  • Spencer P.

    All the reviews are spot on - cool modern log cabin feel, creative and delicious pizzas (crust was perfect) along with a nice selection of microbrews (both bottle and tap) and mixed drinks. Checked this place out with a friend for the Oregon/FSU game and it was indeed packed with Ducks fans - and hence a 2.5 hour wait for a table. Luckily, we were able to belly up to the bar and where we ended up eating as well. Pizza was a concoction of ingredients I would have never thought would be good on a pizza, but it was excellent - and ended up overeating as a result. Recommend getting out of your normal pizza ingredients comfort zone and try something new here. Good service and overall experience. Will be back.

  • Angie K.

    Live right around the corner and am frequently tempted by the whiffs of cheese and carbs. This place is very trendy and a lot of people agree because the wait can get really long on the weekends. There have been a handful of times where they've quoted me a wait time and I just sauntered over to State instead. Decor aside, the pizza tends to be pretty good. I thought their veg variations were all a bit repetitive and the toppings made the dough soggy and squished. I usually NEVER eat cheese pizza because I live for toppings (and I'm not boring) but their cheese pizza has stolen my heart. The reason is that the pizza dough is where it's at, and ordering a plain cheese pizza allows for the dough and pizza to shine. The crust is so chewy and nice- you are a fool if you skip the crusts here. Great place to hang out, especially when it's nice out and they open their patio and outdoor seating. Can't wait for my next Homeslice trip! Get some homie!

  • Tracy Y.

    I came here with the boy on a Friday night. We got there around 7PM and were told it would be about a 25 minute wait for a table outside. We put in our name and gave our phone number and maybe 10 minutes later received a text that our table was ready. I ordered a glass of wine and the boy had the pomegranate jalapeno margarita, which was so delicious that the boy ordered a second one. He never does this. We started with the raspberry vinaigrette salad and then a pizza. The salad came out right away, but then it seemed to take forever to get our pizza. The table next to us ordered after us and were pretty much done with their pizza before we even got ours. I think that was our only complaint. There were other things on the menu we thought about getting, so I'm sure we will be back to try some of them. Overall, a good experience.

    We had homeslice for the first time today. The service was very accommodating. We were seated outdoors and it began to rain and we got a table inside rather quickly. We ordered a Caesar salad to start . It came out in 5 mins, $6 and it was fantastic. The dressing was so flavorful. I ordered the party boy- it was the bomb! They are not stingy on their toppings! Pepperonis galore. My fiancé got a sausage-pepperoni pizza and loved it. The sauce is so fresh and full of flavor. We will def be back! Super awesome atmosphere!

    What's crackin' homeskillet? Homeboy? Homie? Homesliceeeeee?! The latter is what cracks that dough whip, ya heard, and cracks it A-OK. We came on a Monday night around 8 p.m. for some slices .... $75 later for two pies and three beers... and I'm kinda feeling like I was sliced and diced. Because it was just... OK. I got the Hughes Delight (plus pepperoncinis) and my lovely wife got the Lew-Wow (which needed about a handful more of pineapple to make the ham-to-fruit ratio solid.) Mine was soggy in the middle and tasted like Earth. IT could have been the mushrooms, I don't know. I'm just not feeling it. The space is lovely, though, and our server was on point. We wanted to sit outside in the beer garden, but the impeding storm navigated our rears to inside seats. I'd come to sit outside and have a drink, but probably not pizza again. I don't know. I'm wishy-washy. And to be wishy-washy about pizza is just a sad, sad thing.

  • Thu D.

    My friends live around the corner, so they like to stop by or pick up from here whenever they have a pizza craving, which is quite often. The pizza here is DELICIOUS, especially if you're in the mood for crispy but chewy thin crust. The pizza options are a little overwhelming because there are sooo many combinations to choose from, but I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. I've tried the Boyler Room, Mac Diesel, Ava-Lance, and the Lucille and my favorite probably is the Boyler Room because the pizza can get a little too wet if there are too many toppings. As far as drinks, I've had the Standard Mule here, which was very refreshing and delicious. Overall, Homeslice is a great place to go for pizza and drinks with some friends! I've also heard that their brunch pizza and Bloody Marys are out of this world, which I will definitely check out sometime.

    It really pains me that I can't give this place 5 stars since pizza dough quality wise, it might be the best thin crust dough I have ever had (I've had famous thin crust in NY). The dough is perfectly crisp and chewy while the crust is simply perfection. I don't know how it's so magically good, but if I could get an order of crust topped with cheese and dipping sauce, I would just do that. I came here with a big group and we had a bunch to try. Starting the evening we had bread sticks and goat cheese- it wasn't unique but it was tasty and we had sauce leftover for dipping our pizza. We ordered a bennetts beauty, strike and posner, and the schira palin. The Bennett's had some classic favors and was our party's favorite. I wasn't a huge fan of the sun dried tomatoes atop the posner, but after picking them off, the cheesy pesto combo was damn delicious. Lastly, the schira palin was pretty disappointing since there was nothing melty or cheesy about the pizza - things I greatly enjoy. It all seemed very cold especially with the raw diced tomatoes on top. Luckily the crust was amazing like all the other pizzas, but I felt like my dish pick was the least appealing. Sitting outside in their heated patio was a pretty cool experience- it's loungey and conducive to conversation. The service here is spectacular and overall I enjoyed the atmosphere. I'm sure ill get another chance to come here and update this thing to a 5!

    Worst customer experience I've ever had. We went there for a friends birthday party. We were given a hard time because we didn't end up getting as many wristbands as guests. They threatened to charge is even though we ordered a ton of food, shots, etc. the manager was a major prick. Guy had serious anger management issues. Do not go there under any circumstances. There are plenty of nice places nearby. Take your business elsewhere.

    Finally made it to Homeslice! And I'm happy to report that it well, it made me happy! Me and my 2 girlfriends sat outside and immediately got a table, even though it was Friday evening. We ordered beers and the bread sticks/goat cheese marinara app. Yummy. Very yummy. One complaint here is that to me, the bread sticks were a little underwhelming. I think they would benefit by being baked a bit longer (kinda doughy) and maybe having butter/garlic salt brushed on. Still, very good. And it's a large app, which is nice. We all ordered our own individual pizzas. I got the one with sausage, olives and bell pepper. Delish! Love the crust. Very chewy and yummy. Only complaint for the pizza was it was kinda lacking sauce. Our service was just OK. A bit slow and not super friendly, but not bad by any means. Little pricey but again, not bad. I will for sure be back.

    OH MY PIZZA... I love this place! There indoor space and patio are both fun and unique. Its quite an inviting atmosphere with family/ community style seating in different areas. At night it feels like your crashing someones crazy backyard party. I like! We loved their pizza as well! I was in heaven with the fluffy light, but crisp, crust dipped in there house marinara sauce. I ordered the Very Gary and even without the cheese it was good. I have also tired the Natelicous and loved it. The feta adds the perfect zip of salty creaminess. And you will be a happy camper with their great drink, beer and wine options. We ordered the Jalapeno Poppers and they were the only thing that was disappointing. I don't know how but they were awkwardly bland. I understand that jalapenos vary in spice quite a bit which is why you have to have a great filling. Their filling was bland... not acceptable man!

    Went for brunch on a nice, sunny Saturday. Patio is nice but super loud with the train passing by every few minutes. Food was definitely good. Now for the missing stars- when my server spilled my mimosa all over my boyfriend, myself and my purse I did not freak out or scream. I calmly asked for some napkins that took several sticky minutes to bring over. Imagine my surprise when same said mimosa was on my bill when it came at the end of the meal. I'm confident that a eye rolling freak out would have resulted in a comped drink. I'll know better in the future.

    I wanted to love Homeslice but I just didn't. I had dinner there with my friend last night and it was pretty crowded but the 30 minute wait they told us we'd have turned out to be less than 10 so I was pretty happy with that. We ended up on a table out front and our waitress was great. She came by a lot considering she only had 2-3 tables out front and was really accommodating when we asked to make substations to their pizzas. We ended up ordering two smalls, Schira Palin (subbing caramelized onions and bacon for mushrooms and chicken) and the Funky McChicken (sans onions). Both pizzas were good but not great. We definitely wished we would've tried at least one with a marinara base. I'm also a HUGE garlic fan but the garlic on their pizza was weird: mushy and not very flavorful at all. All in all my experience at at Homeslice was pleasant but it was not "great" and I am not sure if I'd make the trip back any time soon.

    I came here for a friend's birthday, not totally sure what to expect, but went away very pleased. Nice setup inside and out. They seated our group of 12 in the biggest area they could outside. It happened to be a warm evening and the sun was beating on our heads, so they rolled out some patio umbrellas to put up at the tables on both sides of our seating area, and what a difference and relief! We appreciated their thoughtfulness. Our server was attentive, though not overbearing. The bar drinks were delivered in a timely manner after they were ordered. We all thought the pizza was excellent. My husband and I shared the BMZ. I don't mind thin-crust pizza, the only thing about this was that the slice was a bit floppy, and I had a hard time managing it in my rocking chair (yep, they have rocking chairs) while balancing my plate in my lap and leaning over my pregnant belly to eat. Honestly, though, that's something that can be overcome. Nice little discovery for us. And bonus, it's less than a 1/2 mile from Annette's! ;)

    Great pizza place that is not your typical Chicago pizza. I know people who are not from Chicago either love or hate deep dish, but this place is definitely good for everyone. The ambiance is real trendy and it is not overwhelming with tv's. The pizza is awesome and they have a great selection of apps. I thought the Smoke Show pizza was great and my friends all enjoyed their 10 inch za's as well. Beer is cold (and a great list) and because its so cold they give you a Homeslice koozie which is pretty tight. I have not been to their outdoor patio but I've heard its a solid spot that is unfortunately too close to the el. I've also ordered for delivery and for a Friday night it came extremely fast. I'll definitely be back soon

    The food was really good. We had the mozzarella sticks and then I got a pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms. We were surprised at the end with two cookie dough bites with the check that were really good! Our server, Laura was great. Very nice and friendly. She visited our table just enough, right when we needed her but not too frequent. Overall leaving very satisfied!

    This place is a great hang out spot from top to bottom. The indoor and outdoor areas are decorated really well and their food is amazing. They have about 30 different types of pizza and some great salads. My favorite pizza is the Mac Daddy, would definitely recommend this spot.

    Place is awesome. Great food, cool pizzas you won't find anywhere else, great atmosphere and log cabin-y on the inside. I loved everything about it. We were with 2 people who are gluten free and their pizzas may have even been better than mine. My buddy said it was the best gluten free pizza he ever had by far. Our waiter was also the man. They originally got our order wrong. He was sincerely apologetic and brought us the right pizzas, gave them for free along with the 2 others that were the wrong order, then brought shots over for us. The 2 gluten free people couldn't take the whiskey shots so he then came back with 2 more vodka shots. What a guy. I forget his name but he had long reddish hair in a pony tail. Guy was the man. If this place existed in Boston I would go all the time. Even with the order mixup, 5 stars for sure.

    This place is as good as it gets whether you're looking to relax and grab dinner, enjoy nice weather with some drinks and brunch or grab a couple beers before you head out for the night. The atmosphere, both inside and out, is amazing and extremely unique. If you're going to catch a game you can find space inside or if you want to take advantage of the weather you should definitely check out the amazing back patio. The menu has tons of variety with the pizza choices (mercenary is a must have) and appetizers. In a city that prides itself on its pizza, Homeslice has found a way to carve out their own style AND have awesome food. Of all the time times I've been there I've never had issues with the staff, patrons, etc. This is just a cool place to be with your friends if you want to have a good time and enjoy some great food.

    Very good pizza, cool atmosphere, and great outdoor seating. I won't call it 5 stars because it's not the best pizza I have ever had, but it was still a damn good pie. One thing I would improve on is their draft beers as it is very ho-hum. In this day and age of craft beers being king you can't have a pizza place with your most exotic beer being Magic Hat or Goose Island. Seems like it should be obvious they should have cool beers to go along with pizza. 137/365

    *warning* This is a gonna be a review about how awesome Homeslice is! So I originally planned on having my birthday dinner for 9 people at Revolution Brewery on a Saturday night. However, Revolution was CRAZY packed and just not worth the 3 hour wait. Thanks to my friend and fellow yelper (Genie), she suggested Homeslice. Homeslice, thank you so much for saving my birthday dinner. When I got there, I was greeted warmly, the hostess took my number down and got a text promptly that I was on a waitlist. While the restaurant was full, it wasn't impossible to get through the bar and order a drink. The bartender was fast and had great customer service. After only waiting 20 mins I got a text that a table was ready for us, we got seated in the back where that cool metal RV cut out is. I loved that despite the fact our whole party was still not there yet, they seated us. Our server was attentive, our pizzas were amazing and a special shout out to the breadsticks with goat cheese dipping! There is a great variety of pizzas for everyone- meat options and a ton of veggie pizzas as well as gluten free and vegan crusts. tl;dr: Great for groups, tons of variety, and a very cozy atmosphere. Come here, you won't be disappointed.

    As an Oregon alumni and fan, I most certainly should support their bar here in Chicago! I laughed with a lot of other Oregon fans and alumni during the big BCS game this year: this place felt like it was straight out of Portland! With it's log cabin wall, bar made out of woodpiles, and waiters decked out in flannel and Ducks gear. The pizza was delicious, bar non. The crust was perfect, the spinach-sauce with mine was fabulous, and the amount of veggies and sun-dried tomatoes was perfect. My only complaint was that there could have been more 'daring' options, as most pizzas seemed to be a combination of the same items, over and over. The bar could have had a bigger option of draft ales, and could have ventured further out of the safe Chicago traditional beers (312 and Green Line, I'm looking at you). The only Oregon beer on tap was Widmer! No Deschutes or Rogue or any of the other magnificent breweries the state is famous for. This would have been great to have, especially during Ducks games. Also, the waitress attempted to seat us out in the cold back space, while there were open tables next to the TVs. What the heck? Luckily when we explained the situation to another waitress, we got seated inside. Where there was heat. Finally, why did it need to be located next to the OSU bar, why God why.

    Amazing place/decor. Hot and model-like staff. Boring, greasy pizza. Not sure how a boring pizza can have so many random ingredients on it, but they found a way. Best thing they have is the breadsticks and that gets a star on its own. Decent prices, but you might as well go somewhere else to get better tasting pizza. Side note about staff, sometimes they really try to rush you out of there. I still had food in my mouth and this guy took my pizza and brought it back in a box. Whatever. Really deserves one star honestly.

    Hands down best Gluten Free pizza I have ever had. And I've driven the country and tried many, many places. GF crust is $3 extra but you cannot tell the difference at all. They can even make their amazing goat cheese and bread sticks gluten free! I promise you, you will not leave here hungry. I recommend the kern-holio. They also have great ciders on tap! I love to come here and sit outside on the patio when we can. It gets crazy busy on the weekends and they dont take reservations so come early.

    The place is super cute and log cabiney. I really wish we came in the summer and could sit outside. The patio looks great! The food on the other hand didn't blow me away. It all looked good on the menu but wasn't that amazing. We got the breadsticks and goat cheese which was fine. The McChicken Pizza was the best but everything else didn't really do it for me. When I walked to the bathroom (which is covered in pennies!!) I was some people with really tasty looking salads. Which surprises me because I am not a salad gal. The dessert options were also disappointingly boring. The service was good and it's a cool ambiance so worth checking out but I probably won't be back.

    Homeslice delivers the best non-deep dish style pizza in the city. My fiancé and I happened in here on a weekday afternoon a while back, which was nice and quiet, but have since been back several times for dinner. Their pizza menu options are a little untraditional, but they have all the usual ingredients on hand, so you can build your own as well. Party Boi, Bennett's Beauty, and Meet Mary are my personal favorites...I love me some meat on my zza. I've tried a couple of the chicken pizzas as well (the Schira Palin and Funky McChicken), but wasn't wow'ed by them. I should add I'm not crazy about non-marinara pizzas; but the fiancé also echoed that the Schira wasn't very good last evening. I love that their pizza toppings seem fresh and there never seems to be too much sauce or cheese drowning the pizza pies! Also, as for sizing, the small pizza is kind of an oversized personal pan, whereas 2 mediums could serve 3-4. As a starter, I love the Mixed Greens salad; it's simple enough to start things out and the dressing has great flavor. The bread sticks have looked tasty on nearby table as well, though I have yet to try them. They drink menu is pretty good and fairly unique; lots of different beer options, and my favorite instead- Angry Orchard Cider. As for atmosphere, the decor is pretty nice. It has kind of an upscale rustic/log cabin feel to it. My only complaint is that some nights it can feel a little too much like the bars next door...loud and cramped. Other times it's been fine. If there's a big game on, you can expect a crowd. And for Fri-Sat nights, there will be a long wait even for small parties.

    I only ordered the pizza for take out but I was able to take a look at the inside. The place looks like a great hang out spot for a group if you're able to get a seat. I remember low lighting and the place looked very welcoming. They have a cool system where if there is a line and you're waiting to be seated, they'll send out a text in case the wait is longer than normal. I forgot what pizza we ordered, but I was slightly disappointed based on all the reviews. They have exotic toppings but the pizza itself was very thin and felt cheaply made. I'd want a manly slice that holds the slice straight (this ain't NY!), so I guess I had different expectations. I feel like because the dough was very thin that they sort of skimped out on the cheese/toppings as well. I don't believe its worth the price we paid, but its a good place to try a different slice, because why not?

    Joined the other quacker-backers here for the UO-Michigan State game this fall - place was packed and rowdy. We sat out back and aside from the train going directly overhead every 8 minutes it was great ;). Service was excellent, prompt and thorough, especially given the crazy scene. Beer list was compact but well balanced. Pizza seemed solid - I stuck with the salad which was a cut above standard pub fare. A fun joint to hit up for a duck's game!

    It's pizza served in log cabin-like digs in the Lincoln Park neighborhood... I feel like hiding somewhere in here is a really great Lincoln Logs/Lincoln Park/Abe Lincoln joke, but I haven't found it yet. Patent pending. Hold tight. Anyway, Danny W and I don't agree on a whole lot, but I have to give it up to homeboy for knowing how to pick a damn good lunch spot. I mean, it's no Medieval Times like a certain other (#1) coworker chose for her super special suburban lunch day, but Homeslice ain't a bad runner-up. Though pizza is never really my top choice for fare, I will make exceptions for situations that involve my having the apartment to myself (+ cats) and I can order an absolutely egregious amount of pizza (like, whatever the size is that they normally suggest for 6-8 people) and sit on my couch all hunched over the box like a greedy gremlin going for a guilty pleasure -- but any conditions other than that and I have to be honest and say that pizza just doesn't excite me. ... or at least that's how I thought I felt about the 'za before I knew what it was like to eat it in hip, Lincoln Park, log cabin-like digs that serves up some seriously delish pie. Our group consisted of 5 adults and 2 babies and each ordered our own personal pies or calzone sandwiches (okay, to be fair, the babies just had formula) and before I even get into the taste, I want to bring up one of the most exciting items of the day -- the price! For the 5 adult meals and a non-alkie beverage, the bill was $57 including tax and we all left with enough leftovers to get a full second meal out of it. Such a steal and real reason to ring the bell for a cheap skate like myself. As far as eats are concerned, I went with their smallest size pie (again, this was enough for two meals) in the Hughes Delight veggie combo of broccoli, romas, green peppers, roasted garlic, kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, portabella mushrooms, feta, mozzarella, provolone and marinara. It was fresh and the cheese wasn't the plastic-y type stuff, this was cheese was the real deal. Some high-quality azz shizz. It wasn't even close to the kind of pizza you have to eat like a greedy, guilt-ridden gremlin. In fact, I actually felt pretty good after bagging a bite here. Love it. Can't wait to come back and try some of their cocktails. Hoping a little alcohol will jog my joke repertoire so I can update this review with a worthy Lincoln Logs/Lincoln Park/Abe Lincoln + Pizza joke.

    I think I get the same exact thing every time: the sesame soy salad salad with chicken. A delicious asian salad. The dressing is a little sweet, so I might get it on the side next time. Usually when I go, there is little to no wait. The outdoor seating in the back patio is so relaxing in the summer! The gutted silver bullet trailer is pretty cool and I like all the lights. Good selection of wines and beer. Bathroom is cool with the pennies. Maybe some live music and this place would be even more amazing! Oh yeah, pizza. It's great too. I like how they put substantial meat on the pizza, like real chicken strips. It's not overly greasy nor tastes processed. All the cheese and sauce tastes fresh. They also do Spring Rewards, which is nice. You just pay with the same CC and your points rack up. The lunch pizza special is also nice. I'm sure none of this is making sense, but it's a fun bar! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

    Holy pizza heaven! My first encounter with Homeslice was way back in 2012, and I can't remember much besides over eating. I've been raving and craving ever since, so I was delighted when I had the chance to make it back. So yeah.. pizza! The pizzas are doughy and loaded with all sorts of toppings, think personal pan style. They have anything you could ever want on a pizza so when no one wants to share the pizza with you because you like broccoli and chicken on it, get a single serving size! Who knew, a smaller sized pizza could be so great! Highly recommend the breadsticks if you are super hungry or just don't feel like waiting for the za'. So light and fluffy, and the most delicious goat cheese/marinara sauce. I know there's a ton of pizza in Chicago, I think Homeslice has carved out a little nook, where the pizza isn't deep dish, it isn't thin crust, it's not super artisan, it's just damn good regular pizza. One note: you might need to ask which pizza's have red sauce, it isn't 100% clear, though everything still works out in the flavor department. Cocktails are twists on the classic, my Bourbon Sour was refreshing on a breezy night.. ok fine, I got 2. As for the space, it's like 'cabin meets carnival. Ton's of wood, a bit kitschy, dim lighting, loud music, and a killer outdoor patio with a gutted Airstream to tie it all together. Service is great and the staff is way friendly. Overall, a great time, and I hope to be back sooner.

    My boyfriend and I were visiting from out of town and thought pizza sounded like a great hangover cure. The service was great. We were immediately sat and enjoyed their great patio. Our server gave us the perfect amount of attention - our waters were never empty and he kept our table pre-bused so there was plenty of room for us to eat. My bf has celiac disease (over 10 years now!) and he said the bread sticks were some of the best he's ever had. Great service, awesome patio, the food and drinks were good and seeing Gary the dog sunbathing and just chilling really made our day.

    Never expected to find a pizza place that catered to the gluten-free, lactose-intolerant, and otherwise very picky. Well done! Several people in our group thought this was some of the best pizza they'd had. I was less impressed - I thought one flavor often overwhelmed every other ingredient in the pizza. The calzones were apparently to die for - that's what I'll be trying on my next visit.

  • Mykie H.

    Five stars does not seem to do this place justice. I would put pizza as one of my top three favorite foods, but I'm extremely picky about the crust. Homeslice nailed the perfect combination of satisfying dough, and a crunchy crust that isn't just a result of being burnt. The combination of toppings is incredibly unique and perfectly curated (did I seriously just use the word "curated" in a Yelp review for a pizza joint??). The patio was loud and fun, the inside was more intimate and cozy, both riddled with TVs covering whatever game you've got your eye on. Since I can remember, Imo's Pizza in St. Louis has been my #1 without battle. Homeslice may finally change that, but I guess I'll need to go back once [or seven times] more. Can it just be a tie?

  • Sarah Y.

    Homeslice is a summer-time paradise! It has a great decor, plenty of dog-friendly sidewalk tables and a great patio with lots of light and shade. The beers on tap are $6, and features some local favorites. There is a cider on tap that is crisp, tart, and refreshing. We tried a vegetarian and chicken pizza on the night that we went, and both tasted fresh and seasonal, although lacking a bit in tangy tomato-y, cheesy, greasy flavors that I love. While the server said this is thin crust pizza, I would have to disagree...the dough itself is very nice and pillowy, but certainly not thin crust. Two small pizzas is more than enough for two people, and provides a bit of pizza variety.

  • Lindsay B.

    The goat cheese appetizer was to die for! I've been dreaming of it since I left and can't wait to go back to order it. I also like the log cabin decor, it makes for a cozy atmosphere. The indie pop music was cool too. The waitress could have been friendlier and more attentive- the staff (busboys, etc.) was great though. Maybe we'll get someone friendlier next time. Overall, I highly recommend!

  • Victoria G.

    Pizza was good and their sauces are really good. Never had to choose pizza based on a sauce. Breadsticks were not that great. They came together with the pizza (not as an early appetizer as we hoped) and were a little bit undercooked and did not go well with the pizza. The place was packed and even though they tried to serve everyone as fast as possible, you could feel lack of service which was affected by speed (for example, dirty chairs and tables etc). Overall, it was a good experience and place has nice interior. Passing Red Line train ads its charm with its fast whistling sound.

  • Nida K.

    Love the atmosphere of this place! Great service from a friendly staff. The wait for a table of 10 people wasn't very a long for a Saturday night. We lounged by the bar until our name was called. I'm honestly not much of an unconventional pizza person. I just like the ordinary cheese pizza with jalapenos or onions on top. That's about it. A margherita pizza is the craziest I'll go. If you're like me, you might not be a fan of their selection. Their pizzas all have crazy toppings. I got the Funky McChicken and I didn't like it too much. However, I'd be willing to give their other pizzas a chance, or you also have the option to create your own. Their appetizers are AMAZING. Their goat cheese+marinara sauce was DELICIOUS and I'm pretty sure my table finished them in about 5 minutes. I want some right now.

    Absolutely loved this place! Really chill atmosphere. The decor is pretty cool and the drinks are really good as well. Unfortunately I didn't try the pizza but definitely going back to try it. The ginger sour and the sparkling Gerry cocktails were my favorite! The bartenders were friendly and recommended us to try new drinks. They also have a patio in the back which is covered in the winter and open in the summer time! Everything was very lovely!

    When we moved to Chicago from NJ we were concerned that all we'd be able to find was deep dish pizza. Turns out there are some really great thin crust, wood fired options here in Chicago. Who knew!? Homeslice has become our go-to place in Lincoln park when we want great pizzas, with interesting ingredients, a nice selection of beers on tap and friendly service. The salads ain't bad either, my personal favorite being "The L.P. Trixie.: No "Chad Salad" however. Bummer. Options range from meat lover to more tradition pies to veggie friendly and everything in between. interesting ingredients like corn kernels, chicken, pepperoncini and a host of other goodies await you. There are 3 sizes of pizzas. if you combine the medium pizza with a salad, that should be a nice lunch or dinner for two average eaters. If you come hungry, go large as it's so good, you'll probably finish it anyway... Interestingly enough, Homeslice I feel is a bit on the pricey side. But it's definitely worth it. Oh and bonus tip - if you're looking for a crazy Bloody Mary, come here on weekends. They serve their with the usual garnishes but also a slice of cold Hawaiin pizza and a Miller hand-grenade on the side. Nice! Place can get kinda busy with all the students around so go for lunch or go early to get a table. Any time after 6 and it seems you're dead in the water.

    Love this place!! I recently drove by it and immediately put it at the top of my 'must do in Chicago' summer bucket list. The initial draw of this place is the big open windows, huge patio seating, and endless outdoor dining areas. It is the perfect place to celebrate summer on a warm night! Hubby and I came here around 6:30 on a Saturday night. We wanted to sit in the back beer garden area, and we waited about 30 minutes for our table. The hosts will take down your phone number and text you when your table is ready. While we waited, we went to the bar and took a look at their impressive cocktail list. Originally, I had planned on having a glass of wine, but I was immediately won over by their cocktails. I'm not a big cocktail person normally, but these were interesting, creative, and beautiful!! We had the bourbon sangria and the Vodka Rattler. Both were amazing. Once our table was ready, we ordered appetizers and other round of drinks. I switched to the gin-let, which is now my new favorite drink...ahh-mazing. We were hungry, so we split the goat cheese and marinara with breadsticks, and the jalapeno homies. Both were great- so flavorful and delicious. For our pizzas, we had the Big Teve and the Special K. Both were excellent as well, and we had enough for leftovers. Overall, homeslice is an amazing experience from start to finish. The only word of caution I have is, be prepared for service to be a little slow. We didn't care about the service since we were having a leisurely dinner, but be mindful that drinks, food, etc do take a minute to come out. It's worth it though!

    Calzone has lettuce in it and Canadian bacon is apparently the same as ham. Not in the same ballpark as Lou's, Giordanos, or Gino's. Service was slow. Ambience and vibe was ok and solid LP location but the pizza, calzone, hummus, bread with goat cheese was all really bad, poor flavor profile, sloppy presentation with 2 massive garlic pieces in the middle of a plate. Will not be returning and very disappointed

    It's a Saturday for a party of 10 and belated birthday bash at 11:30pm. Homeslice has the full bar as well as space for dine in even at such a late hour. Despite not having a reservation, we arrived and were seated in less than a minute. Our party had two pitchers of beer, a plate of jalapeno hotties, two orders of mozzarella sticks, and five small pizzas to share. The amount for 10 was more than enough as we had a whole plate of mozzarella sticks and a small pizza left untouched. We had the Boyler Room, Knife & Forkner, Clay Bacon, Funky McChicken, and Special K. They were very tasty and my favorites are the Knife & Forkner and Special K. For future references, I wouldn't order so many different kinds because I soon lost track of which was which. Although our party had more than six people, a tip was not automatically charged to the bill. We were not compelled to tip so out of courtesy, we tipped 20% instead. Side note: While my friend and I sat at the big table waiting for our friends, a waitress brought out a tray of complimentary s'mores to pass around. Gooey and yummy!

    I came here on a Thursday night. It was very packed mostly college kids from DePaul. The service was great my waitress came and checked on us pretty regularly even though the place was packed. The drinks are priced about mid range. I ordered pizza and it was not the best but it wasn't bad either. Overall a good place to come get a beer and a pizza to share with your buddies.

    Great atmosphere we went outside to the back area to grab a late lunch. I ordered mozzarella sticks they said baked I was surprised I received actually bread sticks with mozzarella I thought I ordered mozzarella sticks ! They were really good, I also tried the pizza which was very fresh. the frozen rice crispy dessert was just average though I would skip the dessert section.

    This is an amazing place! I travel a lot for work and am always looking for a good pizza wherever I go. I currently live in St. Louis where the pizza is awful, cardboard-ish, and is covered in provel cheese. YUCK! Anywho had lunch at Homeslice today and it was incredible. We had the hummus as an app, I had the sesame salad and a slice of there daily special pizza. Perfect amount of food for lunch. The decor too is super cute. We sat inside but next time I would love to sit out on their back patio.

  • Clare K.

    One of my neighborhood favorites. Pros- Overall great food and atmosphere. Very cool back patio- If you're lucky you can sit in the trailer out back. Unlike other pizza places, a small really does serve 1 person, so everyone in the group can order what they like. Cons- They don't take reservations and is usually super crowded on the weekends. I wasn't blown away by the staff at the bar.... standing around talking, checking cell phones while frustrated customers were waiting to order. Recomendations - Bread Sticks & Goat Cheese, Mozzarella Bread Sticks, Hungarian Mushroom Soup, The Mr. Sanchez pizza, Clay Bacon pizza, and a Moscow Mule

    Pizza is epic. Scene is ridiculously awesome. And the bartender Helmar may be the best bartender in the entire city of Chicago. Worth it to order your drinks at the bar just so you can floss with that guy. Also, don't sleep on the breadsticks.

    We went on a Sunday to watch the Bears game and we were pleasantly surprised at how quickly they sat us. We weren't sure if all of our friends were going to make it and they still gave us a large booth with an extra chair. I like places that don't make you wait until your entire party is there. The pizza was great--we had the Party Boi and Mr. Sanchez. I'm a sucker for salad on a pizza. It took a really long time to get drinks, rarely were our waters filled, and they forgot to bring over a side of ranch we requested. Definitely a less douchy crowd than I expected.

    I like Homeslice a lot. The three primary reasons are the interesting decor, the yummy pizza and the very cute, large patio. Its pretty modern and woodsy inside and there is high top tables and low tops. Cool light fixtures go well with the wood paneling. The pizza isn't the BEST ever, but it is very good. And it tastes like its healthy. Not super greasy or overly cheesy which is nice since I feel like i just eat greasy carby foods all day long. The patio seating is in back and on the side of the restaurant and its all made of wood with large big bulb lighting.. I love patios like that on warm summer nights... such a good vibe! I think Homeslice is definitely worth a visit, especially in the warm months so you can get some patio action.

  • Susan G.

    Right off the bat, I was greeted by helpful hostesses and a smile! We were seated on one of the patios, and my friend joining me, heard there was another cool patio hidden behind the wall. Our server was so cool and showed us our way to check that out... Such a great vibe! Like a backyard with a cool big industrial lights sign that spells "chicago" and I felt like I was at a chill campsite with friends and completely comfortable. Service was great, food was great. The dough used for the breadsticks and the crust for the pizza is tasty, and so light and fluffy I could and would use it as a pillow if I had the option. Only i would eat it. This is one of those places where you could sit inside or outside and enjoy the feel regardless!

    I am lactose intolerant, so I have not had pizza for years. At Homeslice, though, they have pizza for every allergy, sensitivity, and taste. I ordered the Very Gary: marinara sauce, artichoke hearts, pepperoncini, roasted red peppers, and mushrooms. OH MY GOODNESS. I ate the whole small by myself, and I was stuffed. The atmosphere is so laid back, but with a total "cool" factor to it. I honestly cannot wait to try more. That's all I could think about while I was eating my delicious pizza as fast as I could!

    Came to Homeslice for a recent Girls Dinner and loved it. We had a 30 minute wait or so, but it was the night of Blackhawks game. Once seated, we did have to yell to each other to be able to hear, but it is probably different on non-game nights. The food was amazing. We got several different pizzas and shared, but the Zephy - portabella mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, mozzarella, provolone, spinach, and ricotta - was by far my favorite. I saw some salads and breadsticks come out for a table nearby, and they looked amazing. There were also a lot of good beers on tap to choose from. Our waitress was great and gave us a lot of good recommendations. I plan on bringing the BF back here soon - especially since I just found out they have brunch (which includes something called a breakfast calzone)!

    This restaurant has the best gluten free pizza crust I have ever had. Usually GF pizza crusts taste like flat cardboard, but not here! It's fluffy, flavorful and perfectly cooked. I had to ask the waiter if it was actually gluten free because it was so dang good. I ordered different pizzas both times I came here, one with meat and one without. The vegetarian one was better in my opinion. The staff are very friendly and even sped up an order because I was running late. The only con is that the gluten free pizzas only come in small and the restaurant can get a bit loud when its crowded with it being next to the el train. Overall, a very good restaurant! I'll be coming back!

    I really liked this restaurant. They had a large variety of pizza specialties, like vegetarian options and different meat combos. The beer menu was just okay. The service was quick, even on a packed Friday night. It was loud, but somehow everyone at my table could still hear eachother, and they played decent techno music.

    LOVE this pizza place. Went here on a Friday afternoon and the atmosphere was pretty great. I was slightly underwhelmed by the indoor decor because the back porch is absolutely gorgeous, but we overall had a great time. Ordered the meatball appetizer which was delicious and definitely worth the money. Next, we split the medium-sized Big Teve between 3 people -- everyone got a couple slices, so I think next time we'd spring for the larger size. Was also a little underwhelmed by the local beer selection, but the pizza more than makes up for it!

    Been here a bunch of times. Always delicious and always let me and my girlfriend talk nonstop as we ponder the menu debating what to order. Tonight the food was no different. Goat cheese breadsticks are phenomenal. Pizza delicious and drinks fabulous. Probably wondering why I am giving this review then? Service was awful. AWFUL. For an early dinner on a weeknight with no big games going on, I have never felt so rushed out of a restaurant in my life. I know some of the wait staff me and my friend know just from coming in for pizza every couple weeks for our catch up dates. Out waitress tonight, Nellie, was new and was beyond rude. She came up to us to start with an attitude. We ordered our usual drinks and almost ten minutes later they came and she apologized for the wait since they were training people...well my friends sangria came half full. She asked Nellie about it and she said that's just how it is. There's whiskey in there so it costs more. And apparently my drink has mostly soda and therefore I get a full glass. Even though we agreed we've never seen the glass so empty. So as we were eating she came back. Asked my friend if she wanted another drink and before she could answer, spits out 'no I'm sure you wouldn't want another one.' And walks off. Comes back another five minutes later and gave us our bill as we were still eating never asking if we wanted anything else. Then came back two minutes later and put our pizza in a box, again as we were still eating. I guess we've been cut off... So we put our cards in the holder and continued talking. She comes up and asked if she could run our cards we said yes and she walked away mumbling about how she didn't know she could take it since we laid the book flat. She came back for the final time not saying much, if anything, and dropped the bills and left. I love the restaurant and will go back. But me and my friend already agreed we will not let Nellie be our server. We need more than fifteen minutes from pizza until we're run from the table! Food is good as usual but they need to watch who they hire.

    Always happy when I go here. Anytime I want to enjoy some creative pizzas and good beer I find myself at homeslice. The atmosphere is casual yet cozy, the staff is always so welcoming and the food is awesome. They have a delicious extremely spicy pizza that is worth your eyes watering for it. Also, they give you these cute koozies when you order a canned beer. Not only is the décor great the food is too.

    This place literally smells fantastic when you walk by, so I knew it was a must try. We came here for a blackhawk's game and the place was pretty busy but we got a table right away. We did have to share a table with another couple, but it was a 6 person table so it wasn't bad. The atmosphere is great- very cozy and comfortable. They also have tons of different pizza options, so it's easy to find something to love. The only reason I gave this place 4 stars is because I wasn't crazy about the pizza we had. But we also got the breadsticks with the goat cheese dipping sauce, which we're pretty good. Surprisingly, they have a good selection of beers which is what we had, but I couldn't help but envy the moscow mule, served in a cute copper mug.

    I came here at about 11 am on a Sunday morning. When my party arrived, the place was not very crowded but that is because they had just opened. By about 12:30 this place was jam packed and there was a wait for a table. We got a cool booth in the outdoor/indoor heated area which was very comfortable for our group of about 10 people. I liked the Bloody Mary I got and the pizza's were fine, nothing particularly exceptional though. There were a few hiccups in the service as one pizzas came late and the waiter completely forgot to put in the order for another one of our pizza's. He was very apologetic and brought our group a round of shots on the house. Maybe this mistake happened because we were a larger group and I appreciate that the waiter was so apologetic, but it's still pretty unacceptable. They should have removed the pizza from the bill realistically. Otherwise, it was a pleasant experience, there was lots of parking available outside, and the pizza's were fine. I would go back again, but I won't be in a rush to do so.

    Homeslice is a great addition to the neighborhood. The outdoor patio is amazing in the summer. Where else can you sit under the "L" tracks in an Airstream trailer?! My kids love the Knife and Forker, but I am partial to the Schira Palin. The perfect mix of ingredients. The Sheffield Salad is good as well. Just the right amount of chicken and mandarin oranges. Certainly big enough for a meal and not skimpy at all. The owners are very supportive of the area, and always a pleasure to work with. Can't go wrong eating here.

  • Tara G.

    I LOVE this place. It's the perfect neighborhood place where I feel comfortable grabbing a bite post-workout or having date-night dinner. I work nearby and the salads are my go-to for lunch carryout (The Sheffield makes me happy). As far as the pizza my favorites are the Special-K and the Miller White, but I have never had one that I didn't like. The outdoor patio is the best in the city, I had a group of girlfriends in the motor home/airstream for my birthday dinner last year and we are already planning to do it again!

    My friends and I noticed Homeslice a few weeks back but just recently got the chance to stop in for a Blackhawks game. It has such a cool vibe with a modern wood cabin feel. The decor alone is what finally got us to stop in, but we'll definitely be back after trying some of their awesome pizza! We got the Zephy, Strike a Posner, and some meat pizza. As the vegetarian of the group, I loved that they had such a great selection of amazing veggie pizzas! (From what I hear, the meat one was pretty good too.) The dough they use is amazing, so next time I'll probably get one of the breadstick appetizers. The beer list was also pretty solid. Definitely worth checking out! The only downside: the tables are set up almost cafeteria style and not all views have that great of views if you're trying to catch the game. State restaurant across the street is definitely you're better bet if you're trying to watch sports. Bonus: Free coozie with the purchase of a can or bottle!

    The atmosphere at Homeslice is second to none. From the hostesses to the barracks, everyone is pleasant to be around and as a result, your experience is enhanced. I also love the French Bulldog who hangs out, I think his name is Gary. I could drink beer and eat pizza there week after week.

    This place is amazing and a definite stop every time I am in Chicago. The food is fantastic. Try the breadsticks with goat cheese and marinara and the mercenary is my favorite as far as the pizza goes. I honestly haven't tried anything I didn't like. The place itself has a lot of character and the outside patio is awesome in the summer. Great place, great pizza!

  • Jenna W.

    GREAT food but shoddy service. The atmosphere is cool and comfortable with a variety of seating and the food is wonderful (try the mozzarella breadsticks to bring back your childhood!) but you'll spend an eternity waiting for a refill or for the bill. I wanted to rate this place higher but after waiting 15 minutes for the check and another 10 for a drink refill, I just can't.

  • James C.

    I really wanted to like Homeslice more. It's obvious they spent some serious cash renovating the place. It looks great, and the staff was very nice. But the food was O.K and the service wasn't very good. If I'm judging Homeslice against other Chicago pizza joints, it doesn't do to well. It is very nice and a great place for under 21 DePaul students to go. If I lived in the neighborhood I would maybe go again. To sum it up,it's like a California Pizza Kitchen started selling booze and had an amazing remodel.

    I've dined in as well as ordered delivery from Homeslice multiple times. I love the rustic cabin like decor with the upbeat atmosphere. Every item I've ever ordered has been fantastic. The bread sticks and goat cheese are so delicious. They have a pretty sweet patio and great thin crust pizza. Additionally, they have the best gluten free crust I've ever eaten. They don't take reservations and can get busy but I've been seated before the predicted time every single time I've been there. A good selection of cocktails and beers. Definitely worth a stop in.

  • Mallory S.

    I really wasn't impressed with their pizzas. The Bennett's Beauty was pretty standard. it definitely wasn't NEAR one of the best I've had. Drinks were meh. I hated the whiskey tango which tasted like orange chewable medicine. I got it replaced though. I loved the log cabin ambiance. There are definitely a lot of seating options for a large group. Service was slow but it was a hawks game night. There are a bunch of tvs to watch the game. I'd return and order a different pie.

    Amazing! Great pizza and salads! It's the perfect place to go on a date! It has a really cool vibe inside. The only downside is they don't take reservations and it gets really crowded so you have to wait for a long time to get a table

    A few reasons why this pizza bar is AWESOME: it's the University of Oregon official alumni sports bar goo ducks! The interior is super cool, especially the outdoor heated seating area. The drinks are phenom and the wait is never too long. I went here with a couple friends and we had to get the breadsticks with goat cheese dip. We also ordered a couple pizzas. Had a few cocktails too!

    Homeslice, you had me at beer koozie. Oh and the decor, yes please! I love everything about it and they back it up with a solid pizza. I've only been a couple times, but both times have been enjoyable. Once I sifted through the large (and somewhat daunting) menu, I decided on a pizza that was quite tasty. I also ventured to try an Old Fashioned (because obviously) and decided I would stick to the beer list. A tad more simple and you know it's going to be good because it's beer. All in all, Homeslice is ideal. The service has been great and the decor wins me over. The place specializes in the staples (pizza and beer), but I would not hesitate to try anything else on their menu next time I go back. Because there will be a next time.

  • Nikki V.

    I am absolutely obsessed with everything HOMESLICE! One of the owners, Clay, is a friend of a friend and let me tell you he did it right. All the details in the decor throughout the restaurant and patio are added bonuses to what you will feel when you eat their pizza- even the bathrooms are sweet- yea I said it, GORGEOUS bathrooms! I have visited this fine establishment for brunch, lunch and dinner. I have been there with a large group and as a twosome. There is literally not one bad thing I can say about this place. The service is impeccable- people are happy to be at work, outgoing and quick. The food is amazing- plenty of sauce and topping options for you to choose from and even an option for gluten free crust! Don't let me forget to tell you that the bloody Mary's come with a cold slice of pizza on top- best.idea.ever. They have thought of it all- heated patio for Chicago's crazy weather, the restaurant dog, Gary, to greet you and beer coozies with a bottle beer order- I love a great coozie!

    A rap for Homeslice...imagine Jazzy Jeff beatboxing in the background...a la Prince of Bel Air... Out in Lincoln Park I spent half of a day, On the sidewalk, trotting around with my bebe, Rolling her stroller, walkin' all cool, And always checking her chin, mopping up a little drool. After a couple of blocks, hunger did strike, Started looking around for something I may like, We walked one little block, it was pretty nice, Just down the way to get some Homeslice. I whistled at the interior and grabbed a super tall booth, Grabbed a snazzy menu and sat next to my youth. If anything I could say that this resto was kickin', But I thought nah, forget it, ordered a Funky McChicken. I pulled up to table and dined all hasty, And I yelled to my buddies, "Yo homes, this pizza is damn tasty." Looked at my bill when I was finally done, Breathed a sigh of relief, Homeslice is a home run.

    Homeslice is just what the DePaul campus needed: a solid pizza place in a great atmosphere with excellent service (no more carrying out pizzas from the Dominick's!). The pizzas are not your standard pepperoni and cheese. Let someone else do the thinking for you by choosing from a great variety of specialty pizzas or build your own if you're feeling adventurous. The best part about the pizza here: they offer a gluten-free crust ($3 extra on a small pizza)! The gluten-free pizza was one of the best I've tasted; not super-thin and actually brought back memories of pan pizza style crust. The toppings were also fresh and tasty and not too much sauce which is a plus. Several appetizers, calzones and salads available on the menu (large enough to split among 2 people) in addition to over 20 different types of pizza. The décor is awesome - reminds me of a hip lodge. Awesome bar, penny-covered floors, booth and table seating and good Lincoln Park people-watching are some of the highlights, not to mention very friendly and attentive service. Tip: They don't take reservations and it looks to be a pretty popular spot, so be sure to give yourself some extra time. Also, the chips are not gluten-free (fried in communal fryer). Definitely need to get back there again for some great GF pizza and the recently opened outdoor patio!

    First time at homeslice and it was great. We were waited on by Kimberly, who had great suggestions, and extensive menu knowledge. There was a small mistake on our pizza and she went out of her way to make it right. We will certainly be back for the great service and great food.

  • Mary M.

    I still love Homeslice but was trying to plan a large party there (20 people) so I called to see what the deal would be. In order to reserve a table you need to get a drink package (they start at $35/person for 3 hours) and you can get an optional unlimited pizza deal ($10/person for 3 hours) BUT your party cannot start between 6PM and 9PM on the weekend. They said they would consider negotiating a 2 hour deal but the start time was the real deal-breaker for me. I understand that those are peak hours and that they may be worried about table turnover but I am pretty disappointed.

    HomeSlice you Rock, State not so much... This is a review of 2 places and my journey of last night.. Started off with checking out Homeslice. Walking into that place was like walking into a pimped out cabin that should be up in the north woods. The place is nice and the pretty ladies working there are nicer, hahaha. Place has a huge beer garden, but the trains going by reminds you that you are in Chicago. Now to the menu, the choices, holy F the choices. You have to see the menu for yourself to truly appreciate the choices. The Garlic Sticks with Goat Cheese and sauce was perfect, with fresh made sticks and really good combination between the cheese and sauce. As for the pizza, I had BENNETT'S BEAUTY (Pepperoni, Italian sausage, Mushrooms, mozzarella, provolone & marinara). Pie was cut into Pie Cut and not that stupid Party Cut that Chicago Thin crust is known for. So this place is trying to pull off the East Coast style pizza but with a thicker crust. I really enjoyed it and will be back. Very good Beer selection and this place pulled it off nicely. So we closed out tab to head over to State to watch the end of the Phils/Cubs game and drink some different beers...

    This place is great! Their blackened chicken Caesar is one of my favorite things- a very interesting take on a traditional menu item. As far as pizzas, the menu is large so maybe look online head of time. Clay bacon is one of my favorites but they've got such an extensive list it's fun to try a new one! They also have a wide range of typical appetizers like soups and salads, jalapeño poppers, and wings. Their beer list is small but pretty decent choices of craft beers, and they've got a couple great cocktails (sparkling Gerry is my favorite). The atmosphere tends to be loud, especially on weekends, so be prepared to shout over the music a little. They've got a pretty sweet patio setup which includes streetside patios on the south and east side as well as an actual patio area with an airstream trailer behind the restaurant to the north. Can't wait to get over there when it warms up! Sometimes service can be a bit slow during the busier hours, but for the most part their staff is welcoming, efficient, and super friendly. They serve food til midnight, and the staff is always great about letting you walk in at 11:45 as long as you're willing to order fast, a HUGE plus if you work in the service industry (holla)! The vibe is trendy and cool, an elegant play off a northwoods theme without feeling like you are in Will's Northwoods Inn. Make sure you visit the restroom before you leave because the penny-tiled floor is pretty darn cool! This place is definitely worth a stop in my book.

    Five stars because my company wanted to bring in lunch for the few employees that showed up to work today thanks to the 2343242 day of snow we've received. The only place I could find that would take a large order was Homeslice. They had it ready and hot when we picked it up at 11:45AM. Awesome 5-star service with awesome pizza.

  • Sunni M.

    So good! The pizza is exactly what I love. It has the perfect amount of crust and topping. I tried pieces from a few different pizzas and my favorite was the Knife and Forkner. The BBQ sauce was really good and topping it off with a little bit of sriracha was perfect. The only reason that this place does not get 5 stars was because of the service. They weren't very friendly nor did they come back after the pizza was delivered. I would have ordered another drink there but there was no opportunity to do so. I think they have a weird system that once the pizza arrives you are now in the busboys hands instead of theirs. Its also pretty loud inside. I normally don't mind and understand that its a Friday night but I could barely hear the conversations of the people around me and I felt that the music was a bit too loud. I recommend this place but maybe not during peak hours!

  • Avery A.

    I don't often give 1 star but this place really disappointed me. A 1 star in my book means that there is no reason to go again other than for drinks. Food isn't worthwhile, service can be spotty, and there are plenty of better options in the direct area. If you're coming here for just a drink, I'd say you're fine. Not a great selection or anything but pretty nice decor/atmosphere. First and foremost, I really did not like the pizza. Toppings, combos, really nothing on the menu that tasted or seemed appetizing. Really and truly disappointed because this place is so convenient for me. Service also was disappointing. We waited 30 minutes after being seated and finally had to ask for a waiter. A waitress filled in to take our order, but the waitress who was supposed to serve us didn't show up until she dropped off our food and then our bill. It felt a bit impersonal and she didn't apologize or mention any part of it.

    I went back after almost a year. Girlfriend and I ordered a Zephy and ate the entire thing in one sitting. I knew I had to give this place another shot, and I'm glad I did! Wonderful place for a specialty pie with lots of great vegetarian options and a solid beer list. Friendly staff, too, and good playlist when we were there. I would give it five, but I guess I just can't do it for a place where I can't get a decent slice of pepperoni. Sorry, personal bias! Girlfriend is picky about crust and didn't think it was anything too special. Anyway, looking forward to enjoying the patio this summer!

    Took my family here for lunch and we were very impressed. We ordered the bread sticks with marinara sauce and goat cheese and it was delicious. The mixed greens salad tasted fresh and the dressing was perfect. The meatless avalance pizza was amazing as well. The crust was crunchy and light, and the service was great. I definitely want to come back and try some other pizzas!

  • Steph C.

    We've been here twice and both times eaten really well. We have also had super friendly and attentive waiters. On our last visit, there was a little problem with my pizza, which we mentioned to our server. It was not enough to send the pie back, although he did offer, but definitely worth a mention. When he brought us our bill, he informed us that his manager had told him to comp not only our pizza, but our salad as well! I did not think that my issue was that serious, but it seems the manager (and waiter) really wanted us to go away with a positive outlook on the place, which we absolutely did. I highly recommend this spot!

  • Mark V.

    The stone-baked pizza dough is certainly good, although anyone who uses "best ever" as an adjective here clearly has a tendency for hyperbole--or needs to eat more pizza. And while the menu is lengthy for a pizza joint, I still found it lacking a variety of toppings. Perhaps the restaurant is simply trying to cater to the protein-obsessed, post-gym crowd, but there is no need to put chicken on everything and then ignore nearly all of the far superior Italian cured-meat toppings (fair warning: you won't find prosciutto anywhere on this menu). That being said, you can definitely do worse than their pepperoni and sausage. Ultimately, it is the atmosphere of this place that shines most, namely their well-designed and inviting patio. I could lounge here all afternoon on a summer day (and have done so) intermittently ordering pizza and pitchers until my heart's content. The patio can fill up, though, specifically with a crowd that feels like a more grown-up version of what you would find across the street at State, so there's a possibility you may have to wait if you want one of the better tables.

    I've always thought Homeslice had good pizza with a somewhat unique menu and good atmosphere, but today I was blown away by their level of service. I placed an order for delivery (feeling kind of bad that someone would have to go out in this tundra), and ended up having my pizza delivered by the owner. Apparently, their delivery service canceled due to the terrible weather, so the owner came to my house to deliver the pizza. That is someone who is dedicated to their customers, and their business, and that is the type of business that I want to frequent.

    Homeslice is pretty solid. Pizza is always good and pretty well priced with a lot of different topping options. Have had a good experience all but one time - if you have a choice, don't get sat in the hollowed out trailer in the back. We were sat there and our waitress forgot about us.. visited the table twice; once to take our drink orders, and once to drop off the bill.We waited for 20 minutes to get our 2 pitchers of beer we ordered, and another 10 minutes to get more cups (they dropped off 2 glass for 6 people to apparently share 2 pitchers of beer) It was a busy night, but that was unfortunate. All in all, very pleased with Homeslice and will continue to eat here.

    We came in search of food at 9pm during the Coldpocalypse. They had food, and it was good. Plus great music, the Roots, Citizen Cope, Stateless and more. The bartender/server Jennifer was super friendly and accommodating. The coffee was delicious and brewed fresh for me. One or two of the beers was free! That also was because of the really nice manager guy, whom we witnessed let four stragglers in after close for a round of beer to warm up. The atmosphere is chic Log Cabin. I am a big fan, and am glad we stumbled in here. I will return fa sho.

    On New Year's Day at 6 p.m., my former college roommate and I found ourselves walking around Lincoln Park in search of a bar where we could do some catching up. We peaked into three bars, the noise level was akin to a club on a Saturday night. Finally, we wandered into Homeslice...and dammit, the vibe was perfect! The buzz in the air was palpable and the music selection was clutch, but the place wasn't trying to blast it in your ear to manufacture a feeling of popularity that wasn't there. My buddy and I sat at the bar. We quickly made friends with the bartenders Guilme and . I ordered some tequila on the rocks, my buddy ordered a beer on tap. The beer selection was rock solid: Over the next 3 hours, the bartenders were very friendly with us as we bought a healthy amount of alcohol: shots and otherwise. Let's just say that by 9 o'clock we felt like we were The garlic bread was delicious! And very good for keeping the vampires away. Worth nothing also is that all of the, ahem, employees were very good looking here. So be sure to check that out if you go. Guys AND girls. I have plans to be a regular here. In conclusion, the service is great the food is great, the beer selection is good. Be sure to check it out if you are in the area!

    Golly, I'm starting to feel like an old stick in the mud. I've 3-starred a couple of places lately that everyone else is 5-starring. Well, I gotsta be me. Homeslice has a cool atmosphere and good prices. They dust their pizza crust with cornmeal. So, essentially, it's Pizano's in a log cabin. I saw a couple of salads being delivered. They were fresh looking and enormous. It's a decent place. I just don't get the breathless raving.

  • Carrie E.

    I just can't get into this place. A lot of my friends love it but I've had better pizza. I've been here twice (ordered 2 different pizzas) and the toppings don't stay on the pizza when I bite into it which is my #1 pizza pet peeve. I also don't think there's enough cheese on the pizza. The crust is fine tasting but nothing special. The drinks are pretty good though. Service is ok. If there's 4 of you, try not to get a round high top. There just isn't enough room for 4 pizzas, plates, and drinks. Really crowded eating space. Check out the bathroom if you can!

    My husband and I elected to try this spot out based off a recommendation from a hotel staff member. He and my husband hit it off because my husband was wearing a shirt of his favorite college football team, the Oregon Ducks. Apparently this hotel staff member was also a fan and directed us to Homeslice as it is a favorite hang out for Ducks fans during Duck games. Unfortunately, we weren't staying in Chicago through the weekend so we didn't have the opportunity to experience a Duck game there. However, we did feel it was worth a visit. The menu is pizza heavy though there are other options as well such as various appetizers (did not try any), calzones and salads. We ordered one of the pizzas and though good, we weren't knocked off our feet. The beer selection was not too impressive either, unfortunately. I also expected to see more TVs and seating options to view the TVs. We did elect to visit Homeslice during an NFL game and a College fooball game, so we definitely wanted to have a good view of the TVs. It appears that very little of the patrons were interested in football, and were often times standing right in the way of my view. Anyway, it appears as though this restaurant is a popular hang out for young people who are just looking to drink heavily and in my opinion, be oblivious to other patrons. Overall, Homeslice was okay, but we weren't impressed. Another notable disappointment was the desert menu. What desert menu? The waitress informed us that they had frozen deserts; snickers, rice crispy treat, and I don't recall the other one. There were only three. My husband asked for the snickers desert and it was actually just an ice-cream snickers that you can purchase at the store for 6 bucks a box. Ridiculous. Not a repeat for us.

    Delicious pizza, cool atmosphere. Plus, the backdoor patio is perfect in summertime. The Lew-Wow (hawaiian) pizza was crispy and delicious, I got a free koozie with my beer, and I immensely enjoyed the company of Gary the french bulldog. Doesn't get much better.

    Stopped in last night around 9:30. Still pretty crowded and the hostess told us we would have to wait 40 min for a table. We decided to stick it out. Good thing, because we were seated within 10 min. Ordered the mozzarella breadsticks and the chicken and jalepeno pizza. Both were delicious. And reasonably price for dinner in the area.

    This is definitely one of the best pizza joints in the city of Chicago. It makes my top 3 list, amazing salads as well, tons of pizza options and the crust is perfect.

    Solid addition to the neighborhood! The place is pretty big, and has a good vibe. It's less casual than you would think for a pizza place (that's Lincoln Park for you), but it's cool and the pizza is good! I consider it the Lincoln Park version of Piece Pizza. There are a ton of topping options and great beer options (served out of cans which goes against the not casual theme, but that's ok). I am a definite fan of this place, and have already been a few times.

    Homeslice was great. A friend of mine and I were visiting Chicago over Memorial Day weekend and had one phenominal meal experience after another; Homeslice was no exception! We arrived for dinner on Saturday evening around 6:30. It was busy but our wait was still only around 15-20 minutes, which was surprising for what seems like a popular new spot. The restaurant itself had a really unique design with rustic finishes (glossy wooden tables and stacked log dividers) but somehow still felt clean and modern. Drinks were served in interesting glasses that reminded us of mason jars (but less kitschy). The staff was friendly and attentive. I had the "Mercernary" pizza in the small size, which was more than plenty for one person. It came topped with blackened chicken, pepperoni, diced tomatoes, sour cream, jalapenos, and a blend of cheeses. I am a big fan of spicy food and they were extremely generous with the jalapenos. It may not have been the classic deep dish experience that everyone told me I need to have during my stay in Chicago, but this was definitely one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Bonus points for the huge menu and variety of options... you could eat here all the time and never run out of new things to try. Also be sure to check out the bathrooms before you leave. The floor and walls are completely covered in pennies under a glossy shellac coating.

    LOVE the pizza here! It is a great neighborhood joint located in the neighborhoods of Lincoln Park near DePaul. Everything I've tried off of the menu has been fantastic. Make sure to order the goat cheese breadsticks!

    Awesome place!! The outside patio is awesome they have a mobile home cut into a booth. I ordered bread sticks with goat cheese for a started and got a smoked ham and avocado calzone. It's amazing!

    Super delicious!! I am so happy this place opened up in my neighborhood and we order out from there about every other week. We've only ate in a few times - the decor is log cabin bizzare - but that does not detract from the yummy-ness of the pizza. The crust is delicious - thin with a bit of a crunch. For take-out, there is a door in the back and you pick up the pizza from the kitchen. Sometimes parking isn't easy, but I've had good luck parking in the alley with the blinkers.

  • Krupa A.

    Meh. The atmosphere is nice, but the pizza's definitely hyped up. It's hard finding great thin crust pizza moving from NY. The beers on tap, however, are really good. This place gets really busy so just plan accordingly. This is a fun place to go to hang out with friends and socialize, since it's usually packed.

    Fantastic pizza (both for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike -- huge variety and cooked perfectly). Great ambience both inside and outside -- the back patio is particularly cute, we love coming here, especially in the summer.

  • Leilo P.

    Yes Homeslice, you are a homerun... cheesy I know but I just love this place! This place is HUGE and there is a great back patio. I went on a Sunday afternoon and was sat immediately. Our waitress was really friendly and explained that each pizza came with or without anything we wanted. I had the white pizza which was delicious! The sundried tomatoes were perfect. I found the Party Boi pizza to be a bit too greasy for my taste, but my boyfriend loved it. The crunchy and thin pizza crust went well with all of our toppings. We had two beers, two small pizzas, and the bill was $44.50 including tip. I will return to Homeslice soon because I regret not trying the goat cheese breadsticks and the bloody mary everyone raves about!

    I was amazed by the interior as I walked into this pizza joint. Coolest decor ever.. :O Cool mirrors and other shiny things on the walls, tall wooden tables, cool chairs, best bathroom ever, and just everything in general that you see ties the whole place together. Although not the standard Chicago deep-dish pizza you might be looking for, this place offers a wide variety of different combinations of pizzas. We ordered bread sticks (w/ marinara and goat cheese) which was awesome. The dip was a nice mix of crumbled cheese with a kick of marinara. We also ordered a Boyler room, which is your standard pepperoni. The Knife & Forkner was also pretty good, though very indulgent in meats. If that's your type, go for it! It was still great, although I'm not a fan of meat overload. Service was perfect -- our server explained everything very thoroughly to us and recommended the appetizer, which we were very happy with. Definitely recommend, especially with friends or others! The place is pretty loud and happening so it's a great place to come eat and socialize. :)

    I love the pizza. I love the beer koozies. I hate the terrible service. The bartenders are rude and the table service is slow. Every time I've eaten here we've sat for at least 10-15 minutes waiting for our server. That pizza, though. Some of my favorite in the city.

    What better way to spend the warm day out than to enjoy Pizza al fresco with your friends? HomeSlice had such a quirky ambiance to it with the trailer diner and the Be Awesome sign. The pizza was definitely one to try. It was sinfully delicious. Only comment was it took a long while for our orders to be served. We've downed the whole pitcher of ale and the food still wasn't ready.

    Lincoln Paker's, Lakeviewer's, walk don't run to this hoppin new Pizza joint! Though its situated between the Belmont and Armitage stop so hoppin on the Red or Brown is just as easy! Crust can make or break a pizza, and Homeslice's cornmeal dusted crust is chewy, crunchy and perfection! The inside is modern, warm and eye catching. The service was great, and as stated at the beginning the food, so good! Salads are flavorful, affordable and perfect so split for two. Two girls split a salad, two pizza's and had half the pizza as leftovers for lunch the next day! Sheffield Salad was spot on - $6 - Mixed greens, mandarin oranges, avocado, bacon bits & lemon poppy seed dressing. Topped with red onions & Gorgonzola crumbles. With 30 specialty pies to choose from its a bit overwhelming even though they are split between meat, chicken and veggie. Gluten free crust is available for $3 extra on a small. The Knife and forker was our favorite, with great smokey flavor and their chewy crispy crust - $11 Pepperoni, blackened chicken, bacon, red onions, mozzarella, provolone, cheddar & barbecue sauce Zephy was a bit of a miss for me but I think thats a personal taste - $11 Portabella mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, mozzarella, provolone & spinach/ricotta sauce Definitely a new go to for me! Great for groups as they have 3 huge communal tables as well!

  • Chad H.

    Really great place. I like that fact that each person can have their own small pizza, so you can pick whatever toppings you want. The staff was friendly, the food was delicious, and the beer selection was surprising. The only thing that I could comment on was the fact that there is a $3.00 upcharge for gluten-free crust that I didn't know about until I received my bill. I'd go here again.

  • Sammy L.

    I really like this place! I don't say that too often with most Chicago pizza places. I don't do deep dish, and I find popular thin crust places like Pat's to have a cracker crust that tastes like water. Personally, I don't even like the fan favorite Piece that much. I always order, and really love their wheat crust. I highly recommend this crust, even to those that aren't trying to be "healthy". The crust has so much darn flavor!! I always request to get their pizza extra crispy. I kind of like it when it's partially burnt. Their toppings are high quality, and the sauce is perfect. Homeslice is definitely one of my top pics in the city, and it's conveniently only 5 blocks from where I live! Score!

  • Emily S.

    This is such a cool restaurant!! I came her when on vacation with my family in July 2014 and loved it. We sat out in the back patio and the decor/atmosphere was so amazing! They have an old camper transformed to have seating inside it, along with pic-nic tables and patio furniture for bigger groups, along with plenty of cafe tables and hightop tables and bar stools. We came for lunch on a Monday when it was pretty quiet, but I bet it would be a really fun place to hangout at night for drinks. They had a pretty good drink menu too. There's also a little dog that wanders around the back patio and he's so cute! Had to tell him "no" when he came begging at our table but we didn't mind at all! They are famous for their pizza obviously, which was good and I had a buff chicken salad which was good in my book because the chicken strips weren't fried but grilled with light buffalo sauce on them. I would definitely recommend this place!

    Homeslice's breadsticks and classic pepperoni (Boyler Room) pizza are the best! Love that's right around the corner! It has a great atmosphere and above all else, great pizza!

  • Frances B.

    This place lives up to all the hype- T-A-S-T-Y TASTY! Several of my finds told me how great this place was, (the critics said it was meh) but my friends' taste buds got this right. The atmosphere is great, but they're a bit torn on what they want to be exactly. (Full disclosure, I went at midnight for a late dinner w/ my boyfriend after his flight got in late) But their late night scene was confusing- are you a casual pizza place/sports bar or are you a nightspot w/ really good food? The music was unbearably loud. Normally I would've asked for it to be turned down, but it was 12:30 on a Friday night and there were some drunk college kids there, so I decided not to be a grandma. We plan on coming back during normal meal hours, and hopefully the music won't be blaring then. The service was OK, the owner came by and talked to us for a minute and he was nice, but our server was meh. The pizza though was outstanding. We had the gramercy, and we can't wait to come back. I wish this place knew that they don't have to try so hard to appeal to the college crowd- there are a lot of young professionals in the area that will happily frequent the place if it stops trying so hard, and turns the music down so it's at a conversational volume.

    Use the restrooms!!! Penny walls and floor. Very cool. I got bread sticks and goat cheese ($8), a Boyler Room pizza ($17 for medium) and a Knife & Forkner ($23 for medium). Split between 4 people, we had a couple slices leftover. Everything was delicious, although the knife & forkner was a little too meaty for me. Service was great and our waitress was very patient with introducing all the different favorites since it was our first time. Very nice decorations all around :)

  • Malcolm D.

    Everything here is incredibly delicious with plenty of variety. They also have a great draft beer selection which is a huge plus on a Saturday evening. The outdoor patio is great during the summer and the old school trailer serves as great coverage for those spontaneous afternoon storms. Out waiter, Ryan S, courageously toughed out the elements to make sure our glasses were never empty. 5 stars. No doubt.

  • Stephanie S.

    This place was good, and we'll probably come back. But it's not my favorite pizza in the city. We actually came here after a wild pizza goose chase (first to Lou Malnati's where the wait was too long, then to Roots where West Fest was mobbing the entrance, then here). We arrived for a late dinner on Sunday. It looked empty from the outside, but that's because everyone was out back on the patio. We took a seat there as well, and the patio is beautiful. A good amount of space, not cramped, with lots of hanging lights, candles and lanterns. Only downside: The El rumbles past every five minutes - it's right next door and becomes too loud to hear the person next to you. Romance killer. We started with the mozzarella bread sticks ($8). They were just OK, and we probably won't get them again - basically dough with some shredded cheese baked on top with a side of marinara. It's nice that they offer a wheat option, though. Then we split the Knife & Forkner (medium for $23). Pepperoni, chicken, bacon, onions, cheese, BBQ sauce - great combination. We both really liked this and would get it again. We ended up taking three slices home. At the end of the day, the tab was $44, which I thought was a little high for what we got (a beer and a Diet Coke in addition to the above). The wait staff was nice but not super memorable. A visit to the bathroom yielded a penny-covered floor (cool) but no toilet paper in two out of the three stalls (eugh).

    Had this place bookmarked for a while now finally got to go last night. This place has the best brick oven pizza I've had in chicago. We went with a group of 8 and it was so fun. Only thing against it is the service is very slow. Otherwise good food and good atmosphere.

  • Xants M.

    We all know that Chicago is the place to be if you want to have some deep dish pizza. But what about good ol' fashion no deep dish? Homeslice is a great place to get your fill. The ambience of this place outside is seriously adorable. Perfect for summer. The only con is that on one side of the patio seating the L Line passes through and you might as well feel as though you're eating on the rails. It's terribly noisy on that end of the patio. Upon being seated, we initially were seated on that side...after feeling that we were going to have dinner under a bridge, we were easily moved to the other side where the lighting and decor is much more appealing. For starters, we had the jalapeño poppers..the sauce was a nice combination to the pipers and they were pretty good. We then ordered the Ava-Lance and the Mac Disel. The Ava-Lance was bursting with flavor and did not disappoint. The Mac Disel was good but it felt more like a traditional Margherita pizza. The crust though...was fantastic!! I'm not a crustie kind of girl, but I loved me some crust here!! The inside of the restaurant was bursting with tons of people and lots of energy. I honestly loved the ambience and how fresh the food was. The service was sensational which made the experience all the more better!

    Went on a Friday evening around 7:30 p.m. We got in pretty quickly (table for 2). We sat inside, pretty cool atmosphere inside and outside. That's something I think people get caught up too much on. We ordered the goat cheese sticks which were pretty good especially since I just discovered goat cheese as of lately. Then we ordered two small pizzas, Special K and the funky mcchicken. Neither seemed to have much flavor, I actually thought they were better cold the next morning, haha. Service was kind a bad, hardly came by for re-fills. Also was not impressed by the beer options, but it's on the Depaul campus so it doesnt take much to impress.college kids with beer. Basically, there are a lot better pizza options in the city. I might try again, will go for the bbq chicken next time.

    This place in un-real. The food is amazing, Ive never had better pizza. Its so cute when you go and sit in the backyard, it really feels like a calm and fun environment. They are very generous for donating food to clubs, charities, and more- which I think is very selfless of them!

    Omg amazing!!!! Seriously in love. We got the mozzarella breadsticks and L.P Trixie salad to begin with and both were great. We found that everything at the restaurant is big enough to share. As our entree we got the Knife and Forkner and it was sooooo good. Also free coozie for ordering a beer (can). Seriously loved this place, will be returning for sure!!

  • Ted A.

    The good: My bartender Kelsie was great. Knowledgeable about the tap beers and menu. She offered a try before I buy on the beer. Very attentive. Kudos. The pizza was so-so. The rest: Brutally overpriced. I knew when I looked at the beer menu and it lacked any prices, I was in another west Lincoln Park place with a, "if you have to ask, you prolly can't afford it" mentality. Two beers, one wine spritzer (for madam), one mediocre 12" pizza, 20% tip = $60. If you're interested in real, authentic pizza, go to Ricobene's on 26th street. If you want to walk somewhere from your million dollar condo on top of the el tracks, go here.

  • Cheryl H.

    I'm giving this place 4 instead of 5 stars due to all of the (I'm assuming) DePaul students making me feel old, the incredibly loud music, and the fantastically long wait. Seriously? I love music. But I love talking to my friends at dinner without screaming more. The GF pizza was the best I've had in the city so far, the pennies in the bathroom were awesome, they had GF beer, and an app to show you how far away you were from the top of the list. Go for the GF pizza, but maybe there's fewer undergrads during the summer??

  • Simone C.

    Went here to visit the manager, Jonathan, because he is the best, most attentive and customer oriented manager I've ever known. I brought my friends along for pizza and drinks. The atmosphere was great, a log cabin type of feel on the inside. It was raining but the outdoor patio was awesome, I'd love to go back and sit outside. The pizza was so so good. It's not traditional Chicago style, it's a thin crust with all kinds of cheese and topping options. We had moscow mules that were recommended by the bartender and were really good. Service was great, staff was friendly, I'll be back! Definitely check this place out!

  • Melissa M.

    I've been coming to Homeslice since they first opened. I usually get the Smoke Show or one of the veggie pizzas. The Smoke show is HOT, but delicious. Make sure to have plenty of water or a cold beer. I love the chewy crust. The Yucatan Lime Chicken soup is also very good. I'm on the hunt to find the best tortilla soup in the city and this one comes close. It can get loud, but the back patio is perfect in the summer time.

    (5)
  • Angela Z.

    PROS: I think probably the best reason to come here is the outdoor patio in the back of the restaurant. They were smart when they came up with this cute and fun atmosphere with the signs, lights, basket lanterns and trailer seating. It makes you wish your backyard looked like this. It gets pretty loud and crowded in the evening hours so I would advise going at dusk/early evening if you just want to hang out and talk with friends. I also thought the service was good too. CONS: So, I wasn't really a fan of this pizza to be honest. A lot of reviews said the crust was amazing and I just found it to be average. The "flavor" of the pizzas in general just tasted kind of...bland? I just didn't feel that the prices matched the quality here at all. (not cheap!) And I wasn't a fan of their combinations either. Lastly, I really didn't like the garlic they used. You only have one option of soft roasted garlic and it didn't do much flavor wise. In a city like Chicago known for it's pizza, there's just too many other great options at any price point. My second con for this place might be the clientele at large. Just way too bro/douchetastic for me. There was some super loud frat douche in a cowboy hat and Dockers being obnoxious as hell to the waitstaff to an embarrassing and annoying level. Pretty sure everyone within earshot wanted to throw a pie at him. Then me and my friends were taking pictures later and some more drunk bros were bugging us/being dumb. Yuck. Honestly, I don't think I'll return. While the patio and service were great, the pizza and clientele just weren't. :(

  • Steven F.

    Some of the best bread sticks I've had. Very soft and lofts of dipping sauce. Plus the pizza options are phenomenal. I got the Special K, which was tasty. But was confused by the naming of it on account that Special K is associated with being healthy. The pizza was not healthy (don't know any that are). Only reason for 4 stars is the pricing. They need to get it straight. It's about $21 for a standard medium pizza and then $30 for a large. The mediums feed about two hungry people. Our bill came out to $55 for two people (with beers). With that money you can get a case of beer and two large pizzas from Chicagos. Plus they are competing with State for food options. I went to State last week and got an appetizer, two entrees, and two beers while spending $30. If they want to stay competitive with the other bars in the area, they should work on how they price their items.

It's not your normal pizza and it's fantastic! Everyone got different pizzas and we loved them all! Our waitress was fantastic! Especially for being so busy on a Friday night! Great for big or small parties! I will definitely be back!

    Whoa. Summer drinking on this patio is magical! We ordered a mercenary per our waiter's recommendation and it was delicious-cream cheese based with blackened chicken, pepperoni, jalapeños, sour cream, diced romas, green onions, mozzarella, provolone, and cheddar. I actually asked before stealing the beer koozie and was told to take it, in addition to being given a camo option too. :) I can dig you, Homeslice.

    I'll take a big ol'plate of Homeslice anytime. A new pizza place with log cabin decor and the name of Homeslice? I scouted it out - pronto. As I was wandering down Webster looking for the place (they're new enough to still not have their address / sign posted prominently out front), a charming tatted gent poked his head out the door and asked if I was looking for Homeslice - to which I replied, "why yes I am." He escorted me in, and I sat at a little log/wood table while waiting for my dining companion. Love the look of this place, but it is more bar-like than I was anticipating. My back was towards two of the largest flat-screen TVs I've ever seen; volume level also way up throughout the place. That being said, this place still has a fun vibe (rather than obnoxious bar vibe). We tried one of the salads and two of the small pizzas - the Kern-Holio: chicken, portabella, roasted garlic, sundried tomatoes; and the Zephy: portabella, sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, mozz, provolone & spinach ricotta sauce. I preferred the Zephy, but both were great. Nice looking pizzas with a light crispy/chewy crust. Quite tasty.

  • Crystal C.

    Can't comment on food or drinks, only location and service. I've seen this place from the train and thought it looked cute, so we stopped in on a Friday after work. We were seated immediately, but I looked around to notice that the crowd was all somewhere around 17-21. Granted, this place is right next to DePaul, so I should have known it would be a very young crowd. We decided to have one drink and relocate. My drink never came, so we left. basically I wasted of an hour of that very precious Friday Happy Hour/Summer/Patio time. The train passing every few minutes makes it pretty hard to have a conversation. Overall, it's a cute place if you're a teenager or college kid. Otherwise, skip it.

  • Luke D.

    Apparently "Oregon-style pizza" means "mediocre pizza in a sports bar." The pizza here isn't bad, but it's definitely not good. Pizza is the focus here, but it's no better than pizza you get at any other bar. Jak's Tap comes to mind as a good comparison. If you have any standards when it comes to pizza, Homeslice is not for you. I'm wondering if people are confusing the good times they have here with eating good food. The layout is nice and there are a million TVs. The crowd is young and there were large groups watching football. if your main interest is watching a game and having some beers, with the food being somewhat incidental, this place is probably fine.

    Very good atmosphere and pizza. I am always excited to try a non-Chicago style pizza and this fit the bill. Three of us dined on a medium + a small and it was the right amount of food. Pizza was delicious, crispy crust was memorable. Pizza was packed with flavor. While the salsa was good with the chips for an app, would probably elect for a salad starter next time around. Warm and woodsy feeling place on a cold Monday night in Chicago. Bar area was crowded and noisy for the game and there were some quieter tables near the kitchen which was a great contrast. Cool place. Big menu with tons of choices...relied on our helpful server to guide the decisions. Check this place out!

  • Francisco F.

    The Hooch. The Hooch. The Hooch. It's all about the Hooch. This lemony, minty drink with cruzan rum and st. germain hits the spot. Homeslice deserves 5 stars just for this hot mess. When I first tried the Hooch, my group was told it will "start hitting us in about an hour." LIES! It took 15 minutes. It was great! Pizzas are excellent. Perfectly baked dough and great menu toppings. Reasonably priced for a great meal. They also have goat cheese marinara with fresh breadsticks. Win. Friendly and attentive staff. Great for family, friends, after work grub.

    I came to Homeslice with my homie to enjoy some pizza. We got a small cheese and small chicken/bacon/tomatoes/ranch one to share (i forget the names). Both were tasty, and I enjoyed the crust. It's a good option for the area. The outdoor area looks fun, so I'll be back in the summer!

    Went as a couple right after work on a Friday, around 5:30PM. It was not crowded at all on the patio which I really appreciated. Nice selection of custom cocktails & beer. Ordered 2 medium pizzas which was the perfect amount of food for two. Most notable was the freshness of the ingredients and the very nicely done crispy crust. Love me a nice thin crispy crust and I was impressed. Our server Brittney was superb and very accommodating. Highly recommend getting there early since it was already getting quite busy by the time we left (My bias, not a big fan of uber-crowded restaurants). Overall, very enjoyable.

    We've been here twice now, which is two times too many. The first time we sat inside. Way too crowded, way too loud, and the service was possibly the worst I've ever experienced. Never again, we decided. Of course a sufficient amount of time passed, though, and we decided to give it another try. It was perfect fall weather, not crowded, and we sat outside on the sidewalk patio. Unfortunately, the service was just as bad as the previous time. Soooo slow, to the point where we were wondering if our server had just up and left for the day. The food doesn't make it worth it. The menu looks like it has a lot of options, but many of the pizzas are basically the same, especially the meat-free ones. They taste ok, but aren't amazing. There are certainly too many other (and far better) pizza options in Chicago.

    These pizzas are awesome. The Knife and Forkner as well as the Special-K are highly recommended. I always get the bread sticks and goat cheese appetizer as well. I typically call ahead and order for takeout. It usually takes 20 minutes for the order to be ready and they have a takeout counter in the back right of the place. Their beer selection is solid and the wait staff has always been great. You should definitely go here if you're in the area. EDIT: They now deliver!

    My first time here with my wife. The waiter was nice and very helpful. He recommended that we get the Knife and Fork pizza and boy it was good. In addition my wife a Big Teve Pizza and she loved it. Let me not forget the goat cheese and bread sticks oh so good! This is a kid friendly place or a group friendly place. I will definitely be back.

    Riding past this place on the El I had to give it a try. The food was great- despite a seemingly uncreative menu, served non-Chicago style. I don't know what I was expecting. Maybe something a little more Northwoods inspired to match the rustic log cabin decor of the owner's native Oregon. Like a meat-lovers with venison or something instead of just... well, a plain meat-lovers. I'm also a (poor) college kid with an appetite, and not getting stuffed while simultaneously emptying my wallet=counterproductive. Glad I went here once, but... I have to pay rent. The wait staff and atmosphere was great! No complaints here.

    Threw a party back in December and sent out the Homeslice menu to get everyone's orders. Went to place the order and turns out Homeslice was closed that day but it wasn't on their voicemail. Emailed the manager just to let them know and he responded with apology and offered $25 credit when we were able to join them. Finally got around to trying this place out again last weekend and the pies were delicious!! I got a Gluten Free Funky McChicken and I have to say, it's probably the best GF crust I've ever had - I didn't feel like I was making a compromise whatsoever. Family got a couple other pizzas and really liked those. Our server was nice - a little slow - but took care of us. Overall, I was impressed with the manager stepping up with an apology and offering me an incentive to still try the place out. I'm glad he did because otherwise I would never have returned. Now, I can't wait to go back in :) Great customer service should be rewarded!

    There is something to say about a restaurant that starts from no following to a spot that caters to all genres within a year plus. An experienced chef or a child can find these dishes appealing. Im excited to see where they end up with in the year. If you live anywhere close to this great start of a night you're lucky and should be taking advantage of home slice. I had to venture from the burbs..

    Love the patio, and the pizza is good. The music selection is nice, like they put my entry-level indie high school iPod on shuffle. It's kind of expensive, even the cheapest generic beers are six bucks. But seriously, that patio.

    Amazing place in Lincoln Park! This restaurant is a must!!!!! The atmosphere was very unique, food & drinks were great. We met the owner Clay & his dog Gary, very welcoming. The service was very good as well. This is a very cute place to meet friends for food and drinks. I highly recommend this place, it's out if the city a little bit, but well worth coming.

  • Louise D.

    Such a fun place to spend an afternoon! Great decor, good selection of beer that comes in a coozie, a patio with an airstream trailer and a bull dog named Gary who is super friendly. I've had pizza here three times and 2/3 were meh, the other was good, good crust and topping and cheese ratio. Is it just me or are all the vegetarian options basically the same?

  • Jessica M.

    The roasted garlic that comes with the bread is what keeps me coming back. I came once on a Saturday afternoon and the other on a weekday after work. Saturday afternoon was way more enjoyable. Less of a wait, food came out faster and the service was on point.

    This place is great for groups. Went on a Saturday afternoon group of friends for a game board day, no wait for indoor seating. Outside was a short wait. The Pizza I will give it about 3 out of 5. They do carry my favorite cider (ciderboys) so a plus! Service was great. They came around every 5-10 min or so to take our drinks orders. Only downside is the trains that go by every 3 minutes!

    So good!! I went here for lunch and ordered a veggie calzone. I can't believe I ate the whole thing! Very good quantities that will fill you up. I had chips and salsa for an appetizer and the chips were wildly delicious. Decor was great, it reminded me of lincoln logs. The waiter was extremely nice. Go here, you won't be disappointed.

    I only Yelp when it's special, when you can really feel the love that's been put into both food and service. (or...not) Food: Homeslice has some ultra tasty pizza, possibly my new favorite thin crust in the city. That chewy, coastal U.S. kind with top notch ingredients that taste local, and creative options. In Chicago this pizza variety is definitely easier to find in Bucktown/Wicker than Lincoln Park - so I'm happy it's now available east of Sheffield and within my delivery area. Their soup is the same level of awesome, as are salads and dressings. All seems totally homemade and fresh. The marinara sauce is a little too sweet for my taste, but that's a personal preference. Service: the BEST!!! Amazing. Seriously. They get really crowded and might have a mix-up here and there with an order, but are always super nice on the phone and it's obvious they want happy customers. They went totally WAY above and beyond to fix a problem with my order tonight - which they didn't even have to do...because it was no big deal.

    The atmosphere is good with friends or on a date, kind of feels warm and cozy and just makes you wanna stay there for a while. And then once you taste the pizza- it's phenomenal. The complexity and the flavors that are combined are so nice. It's not Chicago style pizza but it's a nice break. I'll be back next wk :)

    Honestly just so upset with this place. Have been here before and the food is average, but the service and order time is absolutely horrendous. Came in on a Saturday morning, sat down and 15 minutes later finally got my bloody mary. Then ordered our food and that took about a half hour for brunch food. Place is not great for what you pay. If its a last resort maybe consider going to McDonalds.

    NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY!!!!! Don't even bother trying to go get some pizza if you're under 21 on a Friday night at 5:30. The dumbest restaurant. Not everyone on a college campus is 21. They won't even serve you pizza unless your 21. I hope they're losing ridicous amounts of money for this. At least make it over 21 past like 8 o'clock. clearly they are not an organized restaurant. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME PEOPLE

    I was pretty disappointed in my visit to Homeslice, because I don't think the pizza is very good. The menu is interesting and there are a lot of seemingly excellent combinations to try. However, I didn't find that any of the pizzas we ordered came together well. I think a major issue is that the ingredients used at Homeslice are not top-quality, and that translates to pizzas that are not very flavorful. Everything we ate was pretty bland, and this included one particular combination very similar to one I regularly order at Piece that generally is extremely flavorful because of the toppings. The sausage didn't have pop, the vegetables all blended together, and the cheese tasted very average. I also did not care for the Homeslice crust - the consistency was fine, but they used way too much cornmeal on the bottom, and it tasted like a corn pizza. Not ideal in my book. I will say the salad I ate was excellent. the other appetizer choices were a bit puzzling, though, as they are almost all bread-based. I don't necessarily want to eat a bunch of bread right before eat pizza. The restaurant is pleasant, cool space, which is a plus. The patio in back on the surface is a really nice place to sit, but the extremely close proximity to El trains overhead gets old quickly. In the end, there are lots of other places trying to do pretty similar things that end up executing them much more satisfactorily.

    Let's start with the basics - the pizza is very good, and the menu offers a wonderful selection of pizzas. In addition to the pizza, service was very good and fast, and the place has a really cool design and ambience. Still not my favorite pizza place in Chicago, but certainly in my top 10.

  • Greg G.

    This restaurant has an awesome setup with a patio in the back, nice TVs everywhere, big long tables to fit large parties, great bar set up, fire pit on the patio. I would definitely like to come back here during the summer. The pizza we got was pretty good, nothing to write home about though. We got a BBQ chicken pizza which was VERY good and had the perfect kick to it, but then we got some vegie pizza that just had way too many diced tomatoes on it and kind of ruined the flavor of the pizza. I'll definitely go back here in the summer, looks like a fun place to hang out and watch sports.

    I went to Homeslice last night after hearing great things and was excited to try it. We sat on their back patio which would be a great place to spend a summer evening. It's pretty spacious and has cool lighting. We started with the Mozzarella Bread Sticks which were pretty good, but no better than I remember getting from cheap pizza places in college (pokey sticks, I'm looking at you). We also ordered the Meet Mary. The second they set down the pizza I was disappointed. It didn't look much better than a store-bought pizza. The sausage in particular was thin cut little discs with no taste. As we went to take our first slices we had to be careful as the crust is thin and floppy. The sauce didn't have much taste and the cheese was pretty thing. It just didn't taste fresh. No one was fighting over the leftovers as we were leaving. All in all there are a million better places to get pizza in the city.

    I had heard very positive things about Homeslice, so I was excited to give it a try this past weekend. Our group called in advance to see about making a reservation, we were told they didn't take them but if we arrived before 6 pm we shouldn't have a problem. We took their advice and the hostess gave our group a great area in the back when we arrived. To start we ordered a pitcher of their custom cocktail The Hooch and it was delicious! For apps we had the goat cheese served with breadsticks and roasted cloves of garlic...yum! We also ordered the cheese sticks which were similar to mozzarella pizza bread served with marinara dipping sauce. Both apps were sizable and didn't disappoint. For pizza we ordered a number of options but I tried the Da Duba and Meaty Mary, both were very good but I really liked Da Duba - fresh romas, artichoke hearts, roasted garlic, fresh basil, feta, mozzarella, provolone, garlic & olive oil. Super tasty! The whole time there the staff was very attentive and accommodating. I had a great experience at Homeslice and I will definitely go back!

    I ordered the Jalepeno homies, a calzone and the Mercenary and BBQ chicken pizzas for delivery. The Jalepeno homies: I see what they tried to do: make potato skins...but with jalapenos. It didn't really work. The peppers were still virtually raw and crunchy and they just weren't pleasant to eat. It made me question the adage "everything is tasty with bacon" because raw jalapenos filled with bacon are still raw jalapenos. The calzone was tasty, but pretty mediocre. Nothing special about it, but it wasn't bad. I had mixed feelings about the pizza. The crust was the highlight, prefectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The toppings suffered from the same problem as the jalapeno homies. The BBQ chicken toppings were just boiled chicken, some uncooked canned peppers and diced tomatoes. All thrown on after the pizza was baked. The part that was cooked, the cheese and BBQ sauce, was just...melted. It didn't have the nice golden brown cheese topping I look for in pizza. The Mercenary was better. The chicken was at least baked on the chicken, but still the cheese was just barely melty, not cooked to that nice brown color that makes pizza so good. I didn't like the slices of jalapeno on a pizza, but that's more a personal preference than Homeslice's fault I think. Overall, I'm sure this is a great place if you are in the neighborhood and want to grab a beer. But with unlimited pizza delivery options available in the city, I can safely advise you to cross this one off your list.

    They dont give out "wait times" so the hostess made us feel soooo important by saying "since its only for two, itll probably be a short wait." An hour and a half later we got a table. A communal table, which we specifically opposed to. But we took what we could get, because we were starving. The communal table was fine. Until the nice, sophistication women we were sharing it with left and four obnoxious, profane college bros sat down. Terrible. The pizza took another 45 mins. I refused to order a drink because i was worried i would be disappointed, but everyone else had Moscow mules in their hands. The pizza was fine. nothing special. wasnt good, wasnt bad. The crust was crunchy and sauce was perfect. Unfortunately, the pizza took up the whole table, so we sat there eating over our own pizza without any table space for plates. This is a spot for drunk people in a group of friends. The customer service sucks. We then sat for 15 mins after the waitress took our credit card to run the transaction. I ended up putting on my coat and acting like i was leaving while giving the waitress a mean look to finally force her to pay attention to us. Had to go to State (the bar across the street) to drink away my disappointment. For all the hype, its an average time with bad staff. disappointed.

    Amazing gluten free pizza. The waitress was extremely helpful when helping my friend and I decide what to order. The decor was amazing sort of in the style of a chic modern cabin. The restaurant was busy with all type of visitors. I also had a fresh salad that was decent in size for the price. The communal table situation was a nice surprise and interesting way to meet some of your neighbors... perhaps? You can tell a place like this has "regulars" for a reason... Great food and a solid wait staff.

    Dined on a Saturday night. Restaurant was busy but service from Adam was exceptional. Built our own pizza: crisp crust, fresh toppings, generous sauce. Beer selection was great, log cabin atmosphere is cozy and modern. -1 star for not having the pizza toppings individually listed for "build your own."

    I read about this place in Chicago magazine. I was excited to check it out... up until I read some of the negative yelp reviews.. they made me a little apprehensive to check this place out. I'm not into the whole young college kid vibe. I went nonetheless though. It was great. Loved the pizza. Thought the ambiance was great too.

    Really solid pizza and beer place right off the Fullerton brown line stop. I'd been passing it on the El for months and loved their sign out front (I'm weird I know) and finally suggested it to a friend since it was in-between our homes. It was an awesome Saturday watching the day's games and munching on good food. Our service was excellent and the interior is really well done. Great place to relax and near DePaul so a good stop for university visitors.

    Homeslice in Lincoln Park has a bar atmosphere, in line with its Lincoln Park location. The room is lined with big screen TVs mounted at a comfortable viewing height and angle, and the atmosphere is a bit more raucous, but by no means overly loud. We sat down during the third period of an unfortunate Hawks loss to the Minnesota Wild, highlighted by an impressive performance by Darcy Kuemper. The menu at Homeslice is a bit more erratic, and at first glance, the pizza choices seem all over the place in terms of ingredients, but in the end, the meal we had there was very impressive. Per the recommendation of a friend who's a part owner, we started with the whole wheat breadsticks and goat cheese. A very generous helping of soft wonderfully cooked breadsticks, served piping hot, really showcased the pizza dough here, which had a nice wheaty-grain taste, and a perfect soft, chewy texture. The goat cheese marinara dipping sauce was a nice contrast of flavors, as the marinara had a nice sweetness to it. I highly recommend them if you go, but if you're going as a couple, cut yourself off at one or two; otherwise you may not have room for what's to come. My date went with the Bennet's Beauty - with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, and a mozzarella/provolone blend. The dough here has a bit of a grainy flavor, it's spun to a decent thickness, and hence, is a lot more doughy and chewy. The crust still had a decent burn to it to add a nice contrast of texture, and the toppings were loaded on to balance the thickness of the dough. The 'roni had a nice spice to it, but the sausage was a bit light on flavor. The mushrooms were fresh, and in the end, the combo worked together nicely. I ignored the double flame warning and went with the Smoke Show, topped with cream cheese, roasted chicken, a similar mozzarella/provolone mixture, some garlic, and a very generous helping of fresh jalapenos. I will definitely say the double flame warning is there for a reason; while the sliced jalapenos by themselves are tolerable, when you add the seeds from the peppers and a dollop of sprinkled chili flakes, it adds some *real* heat here. The chicken itself was fantastic - roasted with just a bit of color but retaining a nice soft texture. While the cream cheese tried to balance the heat, it was fighting a losing battle. While I'm not exactly the type who will grab a ghost pepper and eat it whole, I'd like to think I can handle my spice - this dish definitely got me sweating and just a bit uncomfortable, but it was not over the top either, and manageable if you're looking to punish yourself just a bit.

    Two girlfriends and I wanted a patio for a Sunday night dinner and my yelp search brought up Homeslice. I heard about this new pizza place in my 'hood and yet it took me 5 months to try it...what was I thinking? We arrived and put our name in and were seated about 15 minutes later. Homeslice is one of the many restaurants that uses a text to let you know when your table is ready...no need to worry about pager radius or missing someone calling your name from behind the host stand. I had asked about the outside wait when putting my name in and was disappointed when we were walked toward the back of the restaurant, only to be happily surprised by the secret (aka I didn't know) patio out back (there is also outdoor seating out front). It was super cute on the patio...a Chicago sign in the back, strung lights, lots of tables, etc. Only downside is the L is quite loud when it passes by. We ordered 2 salads and 2 small pizzas to share among the three of us and it was more than enough food (we had 2 slices of pizza left over which were quite delicious for lunch the next day). We ordered the Sesame Soy and Sheffield salads. Both of which were yummy. The salads are definitely a good size and at $5-7 they are definitely a good deal. We ordered the Lucille and Very Gary (add cheese) pizzas, both of which were good. I usually don't go for chicken on my pizza but really enjoyed it on the Lucille, plus I have an irrational love of kalamata olives which may have added to my enjoyment. The Very Gary was good and I enjoyed the kick of the pepperoncinis. The crust tasted wood-fired and was the right amount of crispy. The service was so-so (the reason for not giving 5 stars) as tables after us got their pizza (and paid their check) before we got our pizzas and we had to flag down the waitress to find out what was going on. She said it was a back up in the kitchen, but the fact that she didn't take the initiative to let us know that we'd have to wait is what was unappreciated. Didn't spend too much time inside but liked the log cabin decor. I will definitely be going back to give Homeslice a chance to redeem itself to earn that 5th star.

    My review is limited because we just ordered a few pizzas for pickup. I don't yet have input on the service or decor. But I can say I had a tough time finding a place that made whole wheat pizza crust. Gluten free is more common these days - the complete opposite of what I was looking for in a crust. We live further north and west and not a lot of options for wheat crust in our area. It was the snowy day in Chicago and it was well worth the drive for my husband to go to Lincoln Park and get the pizza. The crust was fantastic and in general a fabulous pizza. I look forward to going in Homeslice to enjoy more of the menu and the environment!

    Came here tonight to have a few beers, watch the games and have some food. We sat out in the Patio and it is a great spot. The El going by occasionally is the only real bad part. We had a great table right up until the host, who sat us, asked us to move to a different table because they had a group coming in. We told her we didn't really want to get up, but she would not take NO for an answer. The big group coming in that needed our table and the other empty one was a group of four. Pretty disappointed by this! Out server was kind of a flake, wasn't bad but nothing special. The food I have mixed reviews. The Buffalo Chicken salad was great, the garlic bread was good but the pizza was so bland and tasteless. Very disappointed in the pizza here. Overall a pretty poor dining experience, very disappointed in what should be a great place.

    Looking for good pizza in the city of Chicago is usually fairly easy. What matters is if there is a stand-out joint that does it better than the rest. Homeslice does it better than most. The pizza is incredibly fresh, the dough is incredible, and the sauce is top-notch as well. Not to mention the pizza took 10 minutes make and get to my table. Definitely, will be making a return visit.

    I went here this afternoon for lunch. It was a choice between Homeslice and Pequods. I chose Homeslice and I'm glad I did. First off, the place is really cute. It's got a modern and sleek log cabin feel to it (just try and imagine such a thing). The tabletops were giant slices of glossy tree trunk and most of the hardware in the restaurant was a very shiny brass. It worked well. We sat at a table right by the open front window (they also have outdoor seating for those who really wanted to experience today's weather. Second, the food was phenomenal. Their menu is pretty extensive. Their selection of pizza was very diverse- they had something for every preference -including gluten-free! We ordered the Schulz BBQ Bird pizza (a small is definitely enough for two people, especially when that's not all you're ordering. piggy). It had bbq sauce, chicken, tomatoes, cilantro, red onion, pepperocinis, and cheese on it. The crust was thin and crispy, the way I like it. And the ingredient combo made for a unique but really good pizza. We also ordered the smoked ham and avocado calzone. The crust of the calzone was really good. They sure know how to twerk that flour. The ham and cheese AND avocado combo was right on. They also had salads, soups and a bunch of other stuff to chose from. I'd like to come back to try their other pizzas.

    So after visiting this place more than a few times I have to update my review to a include a full five stars! It really is that good. The owners Josh and Clay really created something special for a pizza spot in the heart of Lincoln Park, and the center of DePaul country. They have upgraded the outside decor with a brand new patio, both on the street in front of Home Slice and in the back with an awesome art collage of Chicago. Home Slice is constantly evolving and this will be a Chicago staple very soon.

    Tried out Homeslice last night, our friend who is in from out of town and LOVES pizza wanted to try a place that wasn't deep dish and I had heard a little bit about Homeslice from some social media chatter. I lucked out and got a parking spot on Webster right in front of McGees, but had that spot not been there, parking might have been really tough. But hooray for luck. Realistically, I would only give the pizza 3 stars. It's good, and I was really hoping to love it but I wasn't blown away. The prices seem decent enough, the large pizza is pretty darn huge, 3 of us didn't polish off our large Mac Diesel. We did have to wait quite a bit for a table but there were a lot of people there waiting at the bar when we first arrived. Plus hey, it's a Friday right by Depaul where pizza and beer is served... what else can you expect. The reason for the 4 stars instead of three is that the service was great. When we were waiting, a guy brought us out some chips and salsa. Since that is an appetizer on their menu I expected that it would be added to our bill but it wasn't! I thought that was really cool of them.

    Great new neighborhood pizza spot! One thing I really appreciated about this place was that the owners were both present and being friendly and chatting with customers. That is so cool to see, because it made me feel valued as a customer. The pizzas looked and smelled great, and the garlic bread we ordered was amazing. I might almost say that was the best thing about the place! It was a huge serving for just me and my one girlfriend, but boy was it good. The pizzas were unique. They had tons of different options and combos try, between plain stuff, veggie stuff, chicken, meaty stuff. I can't wait to try more! This is a little different from your standard Chicago pizza place -- seems more like the wood-fired oven, but they had the crust thickness and general tastiness down to an art. Also, they have Widmer Hefeweizen on draft! Great portland beer! Will definitely be back, hopefully when the line has chilled out a bit.

    I visited Homeslice with a few friends that I had not seen in a while and we were all pleased with the food. The pizza was good, the beer selection was good, and the service was friendly. The interior has a warm feel due to the wood tables and large bar. There are some televisions around so you can watch games or stuff.

    Whoops, sorry to rain on the Homeslice parade, but this was just OK to me. I live in the area and have been watching this place transform from a traditional Italian joint to an upscale lodge-y pizzeria. The interior is pretty cool-- all of the tables and booths are made from lacquered logs and they have interesting halogen lighting. It's comfortable. I'm happy to say that on a weeknight, the place wasn't filled with just students. By the way, does it annoy any other DePaul alumni when people refer to DePaul-area spots as fratty? DePaul has nearly no Greek life to speak of. Anyways. Homeslice had a good mix of families with young children as well as 20-somethings. My friend and I settled into a table in the back. We both ordered draft beers, he a hefeweizen and me the Allagash White, and they came out quickly. Our waiter was a nice guy but wasn't around as much as I would have wanted, especially at the end when we were trying to pay. That's what tipped this review to 3 stars instead of 4. The rest of the staff was exceedingly nice and attentive. Onto the pizza. My friend insisted that we order a large for the 2 of us. Ughhhhhhhhhhhh, fatness. We got the Mac Diesel (pepperoni, mushrooms, onion, added spinach). I noticed that our waiter, and other waiters, ask if you want any Sriracha brought to the table. Southeast Asian girl side-eying you right here.... right, the pizza.The crust had a good cheesy flavor, but the toppings had turned all of it soggy. I don't know, I just thought the sogginess was amateur... the same thing always happens to me when I make pizza because I get over zealous with the toppings. It was still pretty tasty, but not crave-worthy.

    Love this place! Hands down, the best gluten free crust in Chicago. It is amazing! So is the service. I'm also dairy free so I've brought in my dairy free cheese and they've been more than happy to use it on my GF pizza. AMAZING. My boyfriend orders their traditional crusts and has loved each pizza he gets. Another bonus is the wine selection at the bar. They have great wines available by the glass, which makes it a common weekend stop.

    The decor of Homeslice is outstanding. And the staff was incredibly attentive and engaging. Huge props to them for that. I can't figure out why everyone is giving this place 5 stars given all the pizza options in our city. Maybe it's the variety of pizzas (which is excellent) people are craving. Maybe it's the fact this place stands out against all the bro/douchebag alternatives in the area like State. But when I rate pizza, I simply care about just that: the pizza. And I felt like it was innovative and tasted good, but overall it wasn't great. And it needs to be great for me to give it a higher rating. Worth trying if you want variety and something new, but sadly I can't justify coming back (maybe for drinks?) given all of our amazing pizza options in Chicago.

    gf GF's birthday was coming up, and we needed a low-key pizza night. I'd read a review of this place from a source I trusted that didn't like it, and was a little freaked out, but I'd committed. The source was wrong. I could now make a pun about "the sauce was just right," but I won't. Although I kind of just did. Anyway, walk in on a Tuesday night and it was semi-crowded, with the big front windows wide open, and everyone from college kids to families with small children dining. There's a small outdoor patio, but unfortunately there were no tables. Everyone raves about the interior, so I'll leave it be, but it did remind me of a nice Vermont log cabin. Quite a selection of beers, including only one gluten-free. That being said, the gf beer they had is awesome, and actually tastes like beer. Plus it comes in a little coozie. The cocktail menu is 4-5 long, some look sweet, the Pimms cup was okay, but I didn't love the muddled-ish cucumber (too many seeds floating about). The taste was okay. The salad selection is about 4-5, and the mixed was very fresh, the arugula was peppery, the tomatoes were tasty and incredibly red. Like, home-grown red. Lightly and simply dressed, it was delightful. The pizza selection is vast, coming in a variety of sizes. We went gluten-free crust on both, and if you have the gf issue, then you know how they can vary. When both of ours came (funky McChicken and something without meat (her order)), I almost questioned if they'd forgotten we'd ordered a gf crust. It was awesome, crisp on the bottom, a bit chewy in the thicker bits, well seasoned. Loaded high with fresh FLAVORFUL toppings. Both were amazing, and we even had to take 2 of the 8 slices home, which is unheard of. Super filling pies, and incredibly well done. I'll definitely be back. *Bathrooms very clean. *Wait-staff friendly and attentive, while being professional at the same time (as much as a pizza place calls for that). I believe we had Rock, who was on top of everything. *Gluten-free crusts only come in small (10") but taste like the real deal. -Maybe a few too many big screen tv's everywhere which sort of take away from the carefully planned log cabin aesthetic.

    This has become my favorite pizza place in the city. Even though it can be a bit pricey for za, the quality of the food and the proximity to my home trumps all. They also have a good beer selection. I would like to see some new beers on the menu, but that is only because I frequent this place. My favorites: bread sticks and goat cheese and the Smoke Show (if you can't handle the heat, you will get burnt). Also, be sure to use the restroom while you're there.

    This place is a solid 3 star. I went to Homeslice on a Saturday night for a date. Bad idea - the place is too loud to hear across the table! Other than that, I think this place is just ok. The food is fine but not great. When I picked up my pizza all of the toppings just slid off. Once I put them back on it tasted ok but not fabulous. They have a lot of pizza options but a lot of them are similar and not too exciting. I would like to see them branch out and include some more complex/fancier pizzas. I thought it was bizarre they didn't even offer a prosciutto & arugula pizza which is pretty standard these days. The service when we were there was not good. I understand that the restaurant was busy, but we couldn't ever find our waitress when we needed her. Asking for more napkins, water, utensils was a real hassle. Luckily the bus staff was up for the task and very helpful. The place seems to cater to groups of people better than small parties. I think our sentiment was shared by the groups of 2 around us. No one seemed satisfied. Prices were good. But I left wishing I had gone somewhere else for dinner. I think it would be a better place for grabbing drinks with friends and some bar food than a dinner date out.

    Chill atmosphere with fun décor. Lots of different pizza selections...even caters to gluten-free diets. You must try the Knife & Forkner! I could eat that forever. If you order their special beer, you get a free coozy along with it. The selection always changes.

    Homeslice! Where have you been all my life! Space itself is well done. Small patio outside which I'm sure will be impossibly busy but great this summer. Inside is so cool (with plentiful TVs) that sitting inside won't ever be so bad. Minus a 5th star for now b/c whoa buddy it was WARM inside the restaurant when I visited (it was ~80 degrees outside that evening). Breadsticks with goat cheese are delicious and a HUGE portion. The Sheffield salad (add Chicken) is actually a salad I would WANT to eat for dinner all the time. The pizza is very good. Thin, crispy yet chewy crust. A gazillion options on the menu. (GF crust.... Whole Wheat crust..... every topping ever.... etc) Thrilled to have a GREAT spot filling a formerly long vacant corner.

    Stopped here last night for some pizza and beer. Great atmosphere, cool interior and good pizza. The crust is outstanding. The menu is really diverse for a pizza place and the small pizza was plenty of food for me. Nice to be able to grab a couple smalls to try out 2 different pizzas. Pretty good selection of beers as well. I'll be back.

    The pizza is ok, I don't think it is the best option in Chicago but it is a pretty good option. I am a south sider suburbanite so I grew up on Aurelio's (Homewood) and Sanfrantellos which both were really god pizza so maybe I am spoiled on what I think pizza should be. But I think this place is more about location and environment. There really aren't a lot of good pizza places to watch sports at in the city and this place fits the bill of being one and having non-traditional toppings. At the same point a medium build your own starts out at $17, and say if you go to Piece a large build your own starts at $18.49 and a large at Pat's is $16.50 even a large cheese deep dish at Lou's starts at $17.75 so your value isn't the best here. The pizza itself is decent, I had a party boi (not sure if it is a jack ass reference). Pizza had good coverage of the pepperoni's over the cheese and a thumbs up for having pepperoncini's as a topping as some pizza places are missing the bill on that one. The crust leaves something to be desired, it doesn't crisp up (no crunch when you bite) and the ends are fairly big, so the toppings don't go all the way to the end of the slice which is a bummer for me. It is thin so you won't feel overloaded afterwards of which I am a fan of not being overloaded. I also had the jalapeño homie's that I liked better than your typical popper, they are not deep fried and extremely fresh and the jalapeño itself is refreshing until the heat kicks in, it is a nice touch to the menu. The workers were extremely nice and on time so the service was good and a plus. It is a good spot to gather with your friends, I just think that this will not be one of those places where I crave their food and have to go back.

    Ordered pizza to go from here a couple weeks ago to accompany our wine haul from across the street. The design of the space is really interesting, and I almost wish we had stayed to enjoy our dinner at the restaurant itself. We ordered a simple vegetarian pizza and the ingredients were very fresh. However the crust left something to be desired. Crust is a big deal for this girl....it's the foundation to all great pizzas. And in this town, you have some stiff competition. It needed more seasoning or flavor and almost made the entire pizza seem bland. Even the man, who is rarely picky, mentioned something to me. We'll probably return because of the close proximity. I mean, who doesnt enjoy walking 2 houses down to enjoy a beer. And I'll even give the pizza another go round, but perhaps order something with more meat/sauce the next time. Pizza out!

    I wanted to give this place 4 stars because the ambiance and outdoor patio are homey and trendy at the same time. Its fairly new so maybe i will change my mind. The thing that gets me is that they have chips and salsa on their menu for $5+. Isn't this America? Aren't we suppose to get chips & salsa fo free? Anyway that was weird, even weirder was that i ordered them and immediately had buyers remorse. Oh well you live you learn. Looks like their pizza is the hot seller so I will have to go back and try it. Their location is great right on webster. I think they will give state some competetion. I was actually on my way to state when i heard this place bumpin across the street so i figured i would see what the big deal was. I was pleasantly surprised and stayed for a while.

    Pizza: Huge variety of pizza selection. Different toppings and names were cutesy. Gluten free option for medium pies. Taste was flavorful... Sauce somewhat spicy. Decor: Incredible! An amazing job of craftsmanship. Atmosphere and service: Incredible as well! Great service and friendly

    Homeslice hits the sweet spot between slightly more upscale and trendy without being uncomfortable. It's nicer than your neighborhood pizza joint, but t-shirts and jeans are acceptable. Even at 7 on a Friday, my group of six was able to get seated inside right away (there was a short wait for the patio). The log-cabin decor is adorable, and the penny-art in the restroom still boggles my mind. I got the Special K pizza and my boyfriend got the Da Duba, which we were going to share, but I sort of wound up monopolizing the Special K because it was so awesome. Prices are totally reasonable for the small pizzas, which I ate again for dinner the next day. A great addition to the area!

  • Shelby K.

    The gluten free crust here is simply amazing. The best in Chicago I have tried them all. So good, I thought for a second I was accidentally eating a "regular" pizza. Our server even went out of her way to explain to me the caution the kitchen takes with their gluten free pizzas to avoid cross-cantamination. The specialty pizzas offered here are unique and delicious combinations as well, something for everyone. I can't wait to go back and try it again.

    A friend of mine had been wanting to check out Homeslice so we gave it a whirl last week. The weather was amazing so they had the windows open and we snagged a seat right in the sun. It wasn't too busy but it was also around 2 on a Friday. You have to try their cocktails! We each tried one of three cocktails so that we all could get a taste. I had the Pimms Cup which is always a solid choice. I believe we also tried the Logger which I remember liking, but can't quite remember the third. Now onto the most important part, the pizza. And man they have amazing pizza. We opted for the Clay Bacon. I'm not sure what they do to make their crust so delicious but I could not get enough of it. I'm pretty sure its the ranch sauce that brings together the chicken, tomatoes, parsley, onions, cheddar and mozz so well. The three of us split a medium. It was definitely filling enough, but if you are starving you could also order your own small or split a large. Next time I'd like to try one of their salads or an app. I would definitely recommend this place for a Friday or Saturday night as it looks like a great spot for a few drinks. It's also right by State and a few other bars so if you want to keep the night going, you have options!

    My first attempt at eating at Homeslice was a no-go. I went at 8:30pm on a Friday night and upon arriving, the hostess told us there were 25 people ahead of me. No thanks. No food in this world is worth waiting that long. So I went across the street to State, enjoyed their $5 Friday specials (a superb deal), and vowed to try Homeslice another time. I went back Saturday afternoon around 12:00pm and was able to get a table right away. The inside of the restaurant was completely empty because most people were out on the patio eating. Although I didn't spend too much time on the inside, it's very nicely decorated. It's definitely a cool atmosphere and it looks like it belongs in Lincoln Park. I enjoyed sitting outside on the back patio that Homeslice has--it's a decorated well, has a relaxing vibe (I mean, minus the train going by every few minutes), and even has TVs so you can watch the game. Not to mention there's an adorable French bulldog named Gary that runs around on the patio and greets visitors. The patio did start to get crowded around 1:00pm--so keep that in mind, especially as the weather gets nicer. As for the food, I liked it overall. We ordered the mozzarella breadsticks (Delish! And the sauce that they pair with it is just slightly spicier than regular marinara, so it was really good), a small Clay Bacon pizza, and a small Schulz BBQ Bird pizza. My one issue with both pizzas is that they had so many toppings that it was very difficult to eat it without getting messy, and you can't really appreciate all of the flavors because there are so many in just one small pizza. Although the food is good, I think it's a bit overpriced. $30+ for a large pizza? Sorry, I could order 2 pizzas from Lou's or Bacci's for that price. I get it--all of the toppings can get expensive. But when half of the toppings end up falling off the pizza because there's just too much, I don't want to be paying for their cost of toppings. Also, $3 for a soda? That's pretty expensive compared to other restaurants. Most places will charge max $2 with free refills. Homeslice has just regular Pepsi products, not any kind of gourmet soda, so there's no excuse for the high price. Can't comment on alcohol prices since we didn't order any while there. My big negative about Homeslice is the service. Even when it wasn't very crowded, we waited 15 minutes for drinks, another 25-30 for breadsticks, and our pizza came about 45-50 minutes after we first ordered. I hardly saw the waitress, so it was impossible to get refills on drinks. I wanted extra napkins and parmesan cheese for the pizza, but again, didn't see the waitress at all so that was impossible. Overall: Cool place with a fun, young vibe. Good food, but overpriced. Service is pretty bad. And be prepared to wait awhile if you go at peak hours.

    It's designed to be "fancy bro", which makes as much sense as a bikini store on the north pole and I was thoroughly unimpressed. $50 for 2 thin crust medium pizzas that frankly had the sophistication and taste of dominos. I just struggled to find positive things to say about the place. One of my fellow diners was overwhelmed by the tvs everywhere which they go a bit over the top with. Wouldn't go back and wouldn't advise it.

    Really pleased with my experience at Homeslice! Came in with three others for the Blackhawks game on Saturday night. I arrived around 6:20 for a 7:00 game and had to wait just a few minutes for a table for 4. I love the interior of Homeslice, the long wooden tables and log cabin-feel make it comfortable and inviting. As it approached 7:00, the atmosphere quickly turned from families getting an early dinner to a rowdier crowd. Our waitress was as good as you can expect in a very large and crowded bar. She was extremely friendly and helpful when she came by, but sometimes hard to track down. I love how Homeslice has reasonably priced ($6) "side" salads that actually come in a large portion. I had the Sheffield salad that was really tasty, I enjoyed the combo of mandarin oranges, avocado, and the lemon poppy seed dressing. Kara Z. and I shared the small Schira Palin pizza that contained chicken, portabella, spinach, ricotta, etc...and it was fine. Unfortunately, Homeslice's main attraction, pizza, was my only downside to the meal. I thought it totally lacked in flavor, which is odd considering all of the ingredients on top. I really had to douse it in red pepper flakes to get any sort of flavor or kick. That being said, the crust was delicious and this didn't seem to be an issue for anyone with a sausage or pepperoni pizza, chicken might just not be the best option. Overall, I'll stop by if I'm in the area, but will definitely order a different pizza.

    After I got off work at 10 PM on Friday the boyf and I decide to try out the new place that we've heard great things about. Seated immediately at 10:30 on a Friday night. Our server came by and informs us how he's tired and ready to go home. I understand as I had just gotten off work at a restaurant but this bored, lazy attitude continued throughout our meal. Ordered the breadsticks and goat cheese. They were super flavorful. Boyfriend got a small Meet Mary and I had a small Nate-licious. The pizza I ordered had kalamata olives, feta cheese, whole roasted garlic cloves, etc. yet it was the most bland pizza I have ever tasted. Confused how so many great ingredients could make such an average pizza. Pros: Ambience and decor was cool. Our beers were cold. App was tasty. Cons: Server was inattentive, the pizza was disappointing. Probably won't be back.

    I usually prefer to wait a few weeks or a month before trying out a place that just opened, but I really liked the menu and took a chance. From the look of the place, you can tell the owner (Clay) really went all-out to achieve his log cabin theme. We had a chance to talk to him and get some history on the place. The sticks and goat cheese were a nice starter, with the sauce being very original and flavorful. For pizza we got the Party Boi and Special K. Both offered a unique combination of sauce and toppings. Lastly, the prices seem pretty affordable, given the area this place is in. For 2 pizzas, 2 beers, a soda and an appetizer, our total was just over $50 including tip. The many pizza variations and value alone make this place worth checking out, and returning to.

    Been to Homeslice twice--once during summer 2013 and once just recently in winter 2014. Both times was with a small group and didn't have a problem getting seated. They have a great text message system where they'll text you when your table is ready. The first time (Friday evening around 7pm) I went, we were told it'd be ~20 minutes, and it ended up being more like 15. We hung around the bar area while we waited and had a drink. The atmosphere seemed jovial, and we had to have a little laugh at the fact that the group of young couples next to us asked their server if the music could be turned down because of "the baby" . . . too funny. The crowd both times seemed relatively young--probably partly because it's in the DePaul U neighborhood. What stood out to me from Homeslice was the pizza (really great--didn't taste too fast food-y or greasy), the breadsticks (the cheese dipping sauce is a.ma .zing..., the design of the restaurant feels lodgy--lots of wood everywhere, and the restrooms are cool (at the women's) and have pennies as the flooring. Of course, there are various screens, but it's not too obnoxious/giant. The service was friendly, and we felt paid attention to as diners. The salads are also pretty good for the price--standard salads and a good portion for the price in my opinion. Will definitely return to Homeslice for a casual meal and/or drinks in the near future because of the quality food and good service.

    Absolutely love Homeslice! The mercenary pizza is my favorite but everything on the menu is a solid decision. Their drink menu is also great!

    Great place to have pizza! The decor is awesome, love the big tree trunk tables that are set up in the middle. Very cool ambiance. We went on a Friday night and since it was just me and the fiance, we were seated in a table for two right away. I ordered a Moscow Mule since I had read that they had the legit copper mugs. It was a little on the sweet side but still really refreshing. We each got a small pizza so we could try different pizzas, my fiance ordered the Knife and Forkner which consisted of meat, bbq, cheddar and more cheese. Sounds like heaven right? And tasted just like it! I ordered the Hughes delight which was pretty much an intense veggie pizza with feta and I thought it was equally as delicious. My fiance and I were very happy with our pizza choices and we both agreed that we would definitely be making a trip back to Homeslice.

    This is a great new place -- can't wait to go back! Cool vibe and really nice staff were out shined only by the delicious food. The Teve (roasted red peppers, red onion, mushrooms, feta, mozzarella, provolone, garlic, and olive oil) was out of this world! The whole wheat crust tasted just as tasty as any regular crust (not sure how much healthier it actually was...but oh well). The waitress told us a gluten free option is on its way too. The mushroom soup was very creamy and reminded me of a cheddar broccoli almost, hearty and smooth for a cold Chicago evening. My friend's Fork and Knifer (traditional BBQ chicken pizza) smelled amazing and the raspberry salad looked wonderful too.

    I work around the corner from the recently-opened Homeslice. My coworkers and I have been twice for lunch now - the food is VERY tasty and reasonably priced for what you get. The Sheffield salad is KILLER - absolutely delicious and a great start to a meal. The pizza is very good, with a crust that's fairly light and not doughy. The service is decent. Not fantastic, not terrible. The last time we went in my pizza took about 10 minutes longer than the rest of the group's food. I'm not sure what happened, but my waitress came by and told me it was entirely her fault, and that my pizza was on the house! I was surprised - I don't see that kind of responsibility for slow service often, so I was pleasantly surprised and grateful. I felt like they did the right thing. The atmosphere of the place is...fine. It's a little bit much, but whatever. I will definitely be back!

    Great addition to the neighborhood. Cannot say enough good things about Homeslice, from the service to the food itself (try the BBQ chicken, bacon and pepperoni pizza and throw some sriracha on there good measure), everything about this place is first class all the way. Beer snobs, this place has a decent but not overwhelming selection of top flight brews. The bathroom also is worth noting here -- on top of being crazy clean, the walls and floor are covered in pennies embedded in the wall. Think of this place as the anti-Barleycorn, a place where adults can go to be adults, enjoying a nice conversation and a great meal. Looking forward to coming back.

    This place stands out as the classiest, most sociable bar/restaurant in its vicinity. A bunch of us rolled down WebsterStreet after a concert, looking for a good place to hang out and talk, over a beer. We walked past the two Irish bars (one with a DJ!), and forewent the sports bar across the street - and though we weren't sure if it as called "Get Some" (as the pink neon sign proclaims) or "Homeslice" (according to the window sticker), we liked the look. Upscale lodge decor (yes there is such a thing), and a perfectly chill atmosphere - just right! Drinks list was wide-ranging enough, without being intimidatingly long. We had some cocktails that were a little on the weak side, but the very accommodating waiter/owner made things right with a round/shot on the house. Since its a new place, the owners are very open to constructive feedback and looking to please. They're finding their niche, and I think it'll be a good one. Leave the Irish & sports bars for the DePaul undergrads - this place has a nice vibe for grad students and adults, but is priced for everyone. (Didn't try the food, but the second round of drinks was delicious!)

    Friendly staff and the best pizza in town! What can I say, this place has it all! Everything from the plethora of pizza selections, multitude of individual toppings, great salads and a generous draft and can/bottle brew array, it's easy to see why this will be an LP staple for years to come! if that wasn't enough, the staff and guys that own the place bring an awesome vibe and upbeat attitude to their amazing Oregon-homeland-inspired interior. Drop in and try the Mercenary, Knife and Forker or any of the other unmatched 'wheels.' Great location near the L, in a spot that has sat vacant for years and a much needed addition to the neighborhood! Looking forward to many more visits to this original new spot!! PS - A MUST is to drop in for brunch on Saturdays/Sundays...it's a good scene now, but will especially be the place to be once the weather warms up and the sidewalk patio is open

    Ate here with some friends on a Friday night. The food was OK. Nothing we ate was great, but nothing was terrible. The beer list was standard, certainly not too exciting. It is definitely a Depaul hangout. While waiting for my friends, I saw a table of 6 girls eating, not a single glass of wine - probably because they were all 19. Atmosphere is definitely not ideal if you are over the age of 23. All that being said, sitting in the back with the aerobus was very cool. I wish that seating existed elsewhere.

    I went here with a good friend on a Thursday night. The atmosphere was warm and friendly with no wait. The staff were attentive and prompt. The menu had great variety! We had the appetizer of cheesy mozzarella sticks which were more than enough for two. We then split a calzone which was delicious. Prices were more than reasonable. Overall the restaurant was clean and for perfectly in the Lincoln park neighborhood. We'll for sure be back.

  • eric f.

    yes the reason i'm giving homeslice 4 stars is bc they offer gluten free pizza that my friend says is the best she's had in chicago. their regular pizza is also pretty good, but there's really nothing stand-out about their "wheels" (what they call pizzas) - except their stupid/funny names like: mac diesel, funky mcChicken, zephy, and da duba. the decor looks like a faux north woods lodge meets dance club with a touch of sports bar. there's lots of things drenched in shellac (logs, pennies), plenty of big screen TVs playing sports, big mirrored walls with neon light accents, and plenty of pop music fills the air. in the patio out back there's an airstream trailer that's been retrofitted into seating. but when i was there (late friday night) two college co-eds were using it as a make out zone. bc of its proximity to depaul, its filled with lots of college kids, which if you're in the mood, provides a fun cultural-anthropological people-watching backdrop.

    Was in there on Sunday and had a great pizza with my wife. The Avalanche if I remember correctly. The crust was delicious and the ingredients tasted fresh.

    In my mind, one of the top three Italian style pizza restaurants in Chicago. Definitively not a Chicago or New York style pizza---Good Napolitano type crust with innovative toppings-Large selection of variations. Most recently we had the Ava-Lance, a combination of artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted garlic, mozzarella, provolone, feta,and more garlic & olive oil Wine and beer--good selection---maybe a buck too high. Staff is young and energetic. Good combo of positive personal service and professionalism. Crowded at night with some communal tables or tables that can seat eight.. Warm weather an out door area. Winter great-warm and cozy.

    Really good drink options and unique types of pizza. We got the Schira Palin and the Mercernary. Both were delicious. I had the Sparking Jerry as my drink of choice all night. It was sweet but really good. The downsides to this restaurant: The pizza is very pricey. For a medium Mercernary pizza it costed $25. It's not like the pizza had much substance like a Lou Malnatis pizza. They don't take reservations. On a Friday night, we ended up waiting about 1.5 hours. (HOWEVER, once we were seated they gave us free shots of Fireball for "patiently waiting." Also, they have an app that shows you where you are in line and how long you have been waiting. That is probably what kept us from bothering the hostesses.) Overall would recommend for a night out with friends.

    A nice new addition to the neighborhood, very cool interior, makes you feel like you are in river north not on webster. Came in around 8:45 on a Thursday night but got seated right away. Lots of great options for pizza. The price for an 11 inch (serves 1 hungry person or two with a salad) was $11 but a 14 inch was $21, so we opted for two 11 inch pizzas assuming we would take the rest home. The pizza took until 9:30 to show up and we actually had to ask our waitress what was going on, when other people who ordered after us got served prior to us. That was annoying. The pizza was delicious and we will definitely be back but will ask how long the pizza is taking before ordering.

    Would highly recommend grabbing a bite at this restaurant in Lincoln Park. The pizza is phenomenal and offers a wide, unique variety of pizzas and also the option to build your own on white or wheat dough and endless amounts of toppings at your fingertips. Location is great with the brown line stop just a couple of blocks away and a great area to explore shopping or check out DePaul before or after you fill your belly. The spirits range from a variety of beers on tap, wine and cocktails including a few varieties of the very popular Moscow mule in the copper mug!! Yum! The decor is very eye pleasing and well thought out - It is very obvious that the owners put a lot of physical and imaginative work behind it, including the awesome penny covered bathrooms and log tables! Homeslice isn't your typical deep dish, Chicago style pizza (which I LOVE) but offers a more gourmet experience while still extremely affordable. Again, highly recommend stopping in with your friends and family and check out the great food, awesome environment and if you get a chance, like I did, chat with the owners!! Great guys

    Visiting from out of town. Will go back here when in Lincoln Park again. Definitely for pizza above Lou Malnatis which was insanely slow and over rated. GREAT service here. PIzza was tasty with lots of vegetarian options. The individual pizza with a couple toppings was actually REALLY hearty and we could have ordered just one for two of us for lunch. Kinda like- too much for one, maybe doesn't leave you totally stuffed for two- but two individual pizzas were too much for two of us. Is is RIGHT by the train- so if train rumbing bothers you, this isn't the place- but it's casual and a fun atmosphere. We were from out of town- day was beautiful so they have the window/sliders open so train noise was much more noticable than it likely is with those closed, but it was fun for us because we don't have trains like that where we come from. :) We will definitely be back. There is a patio which we didn't access, but GREAT feature- if you are ok with the train. Loved it here.

    Really awesome guys that own the place, and a unique selection of pizzas. The inside looks amazing with all the woodwork and is such a cool atmosphere! My new favorite pizza place in CHI TOWN! Must check it out. The Mercenary and the Smoke Show are amazing. I plan to try all THIRTY ONE.

    The pizza here is awesome! It is a wonderful cross between NY style and Neapolitan pizza. The crust has a nice chewy, buttery garlic edge and loaded with toppings. The inside of the pie has a thin base, yet thick enough to hold up to the fresh veggies, meats, and cheese. We tried the Clay Bacon, which had chicken, bacon, diced tomatoes on top of a delicious blend of cheddar and ranch sauce. The second pie we tried was the Ava-Lance., loaded with artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted garlic, mozzarella, provolone, feta, garlic & olive. This was my favorite. I loved the roasted garlic and the artichoke hearts. The reason I knocked a star off is the location. It is in the heart of Lincoln Park and the restaurant is packed with families with little kids and young college kids. Hard to talk with all the noise. Thankfully, the night I went it was nice out and we were able to sit outside. Since they don't deliver I would do pick up and avoid the "scene."

    When planning our trip to Chicago, a friend suggested we go to Homeslice because of their amazing Brunch & Bloody Mary's. I LOVE Bloody's. When we saw that their web address was getsomehomie, we knew it was going to be our kind of place. We arrived shortly after they opened on an absolutely gorgeous Sunday and the place was empty. We were surprised, but asked to be seated outside in the sun. Our server, Allison, was great with a serious Chicago accent. We ordered our drinks, Bloody for me, obvi. MY boyfriend got a cinnamon coffee boozy something or other. It was awesome. And my bloody came with a slice of pizza on top. Seriously? That's awesome. It was perfect; so perfect, in fact, I got another. We decided to split the Breakfast Calzone and the Pulled Pork Hash. The hash was a bit tastier than the calzone, but both were delicious. It wasn't until we were leaving and needed to use the restroom (floor made of pennies - cool!) that we discovered the HUGE outdoor patio in the back - and it was packed. Wish we could have sat out there - seemed like a blast - but I guess that just means we'll have to make our way back to Chicago!

  • T V.

    OMG a delicious lunch option within a block of my work... happy dance happy dance. Although I've been to Homeslice countless times for lunch, dinner and dranks (after work, mind you!) today in particular really hit the spot. A coworker and I split a gluten-free crust pizza (HOLY crap, my life has been changed for-eva!) and a BBQ chicken salad. $12 each, and full + happy. Quality of food, service, music and decor gets five stars. Drink prices and strength of said expensive drinks gets three stars. Hence, four stars for you, Homeslice. I like ya a lot, but throw us a bone and provide some good drink specials for the thirsty and hardworking regular. PS during the summer they have a dog named Gary that regulates the patio. Gary has a dog mohawk sometimes. So awesome.

    I thought this was silly to have Portland style pizza in Chicago but this is some great food. The staff is super good every time-They obviously didn't just hire whoever was available. The owners are present most of the time and care how your visit is. Pizza is inventive and sooo good. Decent beer list too.

  • Maja R.

    The services is amazing here. We've been a few times and we've had awesome waitresses that were friendly and always checked up on us. The pizza and salads are all delicious. Generally the wait is not that bad and they text you when the table is ready. The beer garden is a nice option but it gets a bit loud from the red and brown lines going by right next to it.

    Keeping this short and sweet because there is not one thing bad to say! All you need to know is to go check out this place ASAP!! Great service, great drinks, great food and awesome decor. The ambiance of this place is awesome inside and outside on the patio. The interior I would call rustic chic...all of the wood inside is imported from Oregon and is tastefully done. The options for pizza are endless! You can create your own or select one of their combos which are great. It was hard to order just one! I got the Knife and Forkner--awesome! This place also has Moscow Mules in copper cups--that earned some BIG bonus points in my book. You wouldn't believe how many places I've been in this city that do not serve that drink! You absolutely MUST check out the bathroom while you are there as well. The bathrooms feature an all penny floor and accent wall. Uhh--talk about some serious attention to detail! Well done!!! This is my new go-to pizza joint. Prices are totally reasonable! Can't wait to try out their brunch! Stop reading and go to Homeslice....NOW!!!

    Should be 5 stars as the food was great on our first visit, however after seeing a movie we tried to go with some friends and they wouldn't make us pizza as the kitchen closed at 11, but it was 10:45. Growing pains for a new business i guess

    We went to Homeslice on a Tuesday Evening and shared a table with a couple. The windows were all open to the elements, we had a short ran shower while dining but no rain came through and everyone was having a really good time. The Pizza was Excellent in every way. Loved the ingredients and the Menu was built with much shanzz. The wait staff was beautiful and the food was wonderful. Would recommended this place to anybody who enjoys a lovely atmosphere as the establishment itself is a piece of artwork. This location also had patio seating which is a huge plus for me.

    Whoever did the interior design for for Homeslice, A + . This place has an awesome atmosphere throughout. The bar along the back wall was great, we got served almost instantly and they had a good selection of craft beers. We were a group of 8 on a Saturday night so I was prepared to hangout for a long time. They accommodated us after only 20/30 minutes and we had probably the best seat in the house. Off their main dining/bar area there's this back room/beer garden area with the shell of an old fashion silver mobile home. We sat at a big booth inside the 1 end of the mobile home. The lighting was perfect, the music was good, and it was really comfortable. The best thing we ordered was probably the bread sticks and goat cheese appetizer. The service was awesome, props to our waitress who knew how to handle a group of 8 20 something year old's. I would have given 5 stars if I would have been more impressed by the pizza, but I will most definitely be back for the atmosphere & libations.

    Just went here tonight for dinner. Amazing service! Was greeted when I went in and he offered us a high top table in the front - seemingly reading my mind he asked if I would rather not be seated near the door and I said I would. He said not a problem we want to make sure you are happy. I was happy already. Then he proceeded to show me to a booth in the back. It was a perfectly fine booth but it was near the kitchen and we couldn't really feel the ambiance of the restaurant, so I totally bugged him again and he moved us back to the front high top table. He was completely friendly and patient and wasn't annoyed with my indecision. On to the food. I got a beer and my friend got a soda. Our waitress was great, very friendly and always made sure my friend's soda was refilled if it got low without asking. We ended up ordering a lot for the two of us. The bread with goat cheese, the caesar salad and then I got the small knife and forker and she got a small veggie pizza - I think the zephy. The caesar salad is one of the best I have ever had really liked the dressing had sort of a kick to it and the dressing wasn't drenched on the salad. The bread sticks and goat cheese was also really really good - the breadsticks just came out of the oven and were hot as was the marinara goat cheese sauce. I got my pizza based on a recommendation and I was not disappointed. I was worried the bbq sauce would be too sweet or overpower the pizza and it did not at all. It perfectly complimented all of the flavors. I also loved that they give you red pepper flakes ahead of time without asking - I like my pizza spicy. My friend really liked her pizza too although I did not try it. Love the decor too, different from anything I have seen in chicago. I will definitely be going back to homeslice and soon! Great pizza!

  • Jenny O.

    I was really disappointed in this place. My boyfriend and I waited for an hour and 20 mins before being seated. The only positive was the owner gave a free shot of fireball due to the long wait. Many people walked out because the hostess never gave a time estimate... Just "five parties in front if you". To be honest, I really didn't care for the food much either. The pizza was okay and we ordered breadsticks to start which came with awful marinara sauce.

    Great new little neighborhood gem. Wonderful outdoor patio, very cool penny floor bathrooms, amazing decor and nice service. The food is unique, so don't go in thinking you are getting a 'normal' pizza they all have something 'gourmet' on them. Prices aren't terrible.

  • Joe R.

    I've been going to Homselice since they opened in March and it has become one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Their food is incredible. Salads are fairly priced and incredibly fresh. They whole wheat mozzerrella bread is off the charts-it comes to table right out of the oven. I haven't been disappointed w/ a pizza yet, the crust is incredible. I've taken probably close to 100 people there since March and everyone loves it. Clay and Josh the owners make you feel right at home and their entire staff is super friendly! Also if you are an ice tea drinker-they have one of the best ones in the city! Fun place to watch a game and the crowd is family friendly!

  • Meghan R.

    This might be one of my favorite bars in Lincoln Park. Their food is so delicious and you really can't go wrong with any of the pizzas on their menu. My favorite thing about this place is their patio in the summertime. You can order inside and bring the food outside to enjoy with some drinks. The music is great, games are always on, and the service is pleasant. One of my favorite pizza places in the city that's not deep dish. I have yet to try their brunch but heard nothing but good things.

    Awesome great new LP pizza spot. Try something new every time. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Always have great service although get there early as wknds fill up fast.

    Went there tonight for the "opening day". Everyone was extremely friendly and the service was great. Both owners came by and welcomed us. The restaurant itself is amazing. Decor is great. Food is extremely tasty and at a great price. Try the Clay Bacon and the Special-K, you won't regret it. Will definitely be coming here again soon.

  • James H.

    The pizza and atmosphere are good but the service is horrible. This is our third visit. The first time, after we were seated, we didn't get a server. I spoke to the manager but after 20 minutes we just ordered from the bar. The second time was an ok experience, nothing special. Tonight we were seated and got drinks right away, ordered our pizza, and then 90 minutes later it showed up. In short, unfortunately the pizza is not good enough to make up for the poor service.

    Fantastic new pizza spot in Lincoln Park! Great food, meat free and vegan and gluten free options! Great casual modern dining with wood decor. Great for dates, friends, or family night out. Staff and Owner are friendly and will do their best to serve your needs. I believe the next best pizza spot is in town.

  • Scott O.

    The pizza here is some of the best thin crust pizza I've had in the city. We ordered the Mac Diesel and it was fantastic. We also had an order of the mozzarella bread sticks and the mozzarella was baked on the outside and inside of the bread so it was gooey and cheesy and wonderful. I would love to give this place a higher rating but the bottom line is you have to be a certain type of person to enjoy this place and I am not it. It is filled with tv screens everywhere all playing sports. If you want to talk to the people you are dining with, forget it. We happened to go there on the night of a Blackhawks playoff game (you know, hockey, the sport no one ever talks about or cares about unless their home team is in the playoffs) and the woman next to us screamed as loud as possible at every single play. Her boyfriend/husband (who was wearing the required Blackhawks jersey) actually looked embarrassed by her and I heard him say to the server to please bring the check because he needed to get her out of here. If you're in to sports and not paying attention or talking to your dining companions, this is your place. I'd check and see if they have takeout because, if you're not in to sports and people acting like fools, then get a pizza to go because you don't want to miss out on the excellent food in the less than excellent atmosphere.

    Good atmosphere. Sat on the porch on a perfect night. Had a good server that was quick but busy. We tried the Schira Palin pizza. Not my favorite, only because the chicken was over-cooked. Other than that it was good. I'll be back again.

    (4)
  • Reid G.

    Can't give it 5 stars because the service can be a bit slow to reload drinks and the lighting at night is a bit too dim. That said, it's a spectacular addition to the neighborhood. Fits a much unfilled Depaul neighborhood demand for casual dining with solid, reasonably priced food. Plus, kudos to you for giving away koozies with your canned beers (and free advertising). My pizza preference so far - the Knife and Forker.

    Great new spot in LP, and Chicago in general...brings a cool, fun flare to pizza and the pizza dining experience with a space like no other in Chicago. The Knife and Forker might be the best BBQ chicken style pizza I've ever had. And wait for it, their soups are dynamite too. Great beer selection with killer glass jars as your drinking "vessel", friendly staff, inviting and warm space with nice modern hints of copper and shimmer. Will be a regular spot no doubt.

    When I ordered my calzone, I got exactly that. I ordered the Smoked Ham & Avocado calzone, "The best one we had!" They were definitely right. Sitting right next to a wide open window exposed to the bustling streets of Chicago, everything on their menu was fitting. The interior was exquisitely designed for any occasion. The theme was very unique and because the place is brand new, the furniture smelled like it had just been crafted as the smell of the wood gently filled the room. Pennies covering the walls and floors of the bathroom was pretty unique as it fit the log theme.

    Went for our third time with our two grown sons, their wives and our four grandkids, ages 10, 7, 6 and 3. Came early on a Sunday night (4:45) and scored an outside picnic bench. Our server, Matt, started out strong taking our drink orders and bringing coloring stuff for the kids. The pizzas, as always, were excellent. After the meal was served Matt's level of service took a nosedive. Second round of drinks took forever. When we were done eating, the busboys cleaned up promptly, but Matt was nowhere to be seen. He finally reappeared and I flagged him down to get the check. He got it in a fairly expeditious manner but once again disappeared. After waiting 10 minutes I got up and went inside to try to track him down to pay- no luck. I finally asked the cashier if I could pay her and she said "sure" so I paid her. Despite his disappearance I still left Matt a $20+ tip, but it would have been $30- $35 if he hadn't deserted us. Bottom line, still great pizza, great service twice, crappy service once= 4 stars.

    Walked in last night w/Kids and had fantastic MEal! Design: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Price/ Value: 5/5 Food Look: 5/5 Food Inventiveness: 4/5 Crowd: 5/5 Drink Variety: n/a This is definitely a great NEW spot that will be perfect for locals who want to grab some excellent pizza, up-to-date cocktails and a great scene. THe staff is super attentive, and the food variety is set so there is food you are familiar with but also lots of customization possible ensuring a great meal. THe Drink List wasn't out yet but had a fantastic Moscow Mule & saw the "Creamsicle" in a cool Mason Jar like glass. Everyone was smiling through out the service- Managers, Servers and even the Bussers (a rare thing these days). It seemed like there was a great attitude, fun atmosphere and even better food. Looking forward to the weather warming up to be outside but the bitter cold of last night was cut by the incredible warm atmosphere from the design and the staff. NOt a Beer/College but a young fresh scene that is to be embraced by those enjoy great food, fresh design, good looking smiling faces and just a great place to relax.

    If (er, when) I open my wildly successful pizza restaurant, this is going to be the precise pizza style I specialize in. That's the soft yet crispy-bottom crust and spinach/ricotta pizza sauce that come together to make the golden flavorful pizza that I'm referring to. Obviously I ordered mine with a medley of mushrooms and proceeded to eat every bite of my "small" pie until I was so full of pizza I could almost touch the boot. It was so good and happened so fast that I had wished I had gotten a large. I will be back for many pies because I am in love!

    Went here on a Sunday night around 6:00 and got a table immediately. The inside has a relaxed and comfortable feel, neighborhood bar/restaurant. We ordered a Cesar to start followed by a medium BBQ Chicken Pizza. The Cesar salad was a good size and the medium pizza was enough for two people, with leftovers. The beer is served in a mason jar type glass which I liked, and the selection was good.

    This is one of my favorite bars in Chicago. First off, the food is reasonably priced and frighteningly delicious. I suppose have to put on disguises so that the carryout staff don't recognize me for the amount of times I frequent that part of the restaurant could be deemed embarrassing. They have a wonderful selection of draft beers and their cocktails are DIVINE (try the Mule with whisky and nix the vodka and you won't be disappointed). Best part - the staff are amazing. Our servers, bartenders, and host staff are always extremely helpful, quick, and pleasant. Last night in particular, our host was AMAZING and super kind. Unfortunately there seemed to be some miscommunication about playing the Hawks game on the big screen, and we ended up getting a free round of fireball to cheer us up. I hope the hostess wasn't reprimanded for this, as she was a complete delight. Good work, Homeslice!

    I stopped in last night for some pizza and a few beers. Wow, this was the best pizza I can remember having. They offer all sorts of specialty pizza plus the option to order however you like it. Great beer selection, cool menu, and the log cabin decor make it a fun spot. I will return soon.

    I usually don't write posts on yelp (actually... never have and should probably more often) but I had such a great experience there I felt like I needed to. First of all I will admit that I am in the restaurant industry myself and that might have had a lot to do with why I enjoyed my time there so much. The staff was really friendly and approachable, and I (at least am pretty sure) that either the owner or the manager took time out of his day to come talk to us to see what we thought of the experience. For the food- it was great! It's nice to get away from the normal bar food in that area to a nice higher end pizza place. Beer list was exceptional as well. Overall I had a really nice time and I expect to visit this place often.

    Homeslice is a neat place to grab great food and drinks. The place is located in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. If driving there is street parking available. Homeslice is decorated pretty neatly. The theme is based on tree logs. Tables, booths, and bar have tree logs all around. The bathrooms are neatly decorated with pennies all over (floor, walls and ceiling). The food is very good with great taste. One can taste they are using the freshest ingredients. Items ordered: pizza, yucatan lime with chicken soup, smoked ham and avocado calzone. The food was brought out timely. Waiting for a table was not too bad but be prepared to wait for a long time specially if visiting during weekend. The waiting area is very small so I would recommend walking around the neighborhood (there are plenty of shopping places) while waiting (unless it is winter). Besides having great tasting food it is also a great value. It is best for groups. The place is loud so be prepared to speak up in conversations. As if food, location, decor weren't great already...per Homeslice's packaging it is endorsed by the Green Restaurant Association ( dinegreen.com ).

    So happy to see some new life in my neighborhood that isn't just another replica of the same old wanna be Irish bar for the college crowd! I went for dinner and drinks with a few friends last weekend and we had a great time. started out with the Standard Mule which came in the proper copper mug. We ordered a lot of small small pizzas so we could try out of few of the different options. Stand outs were the "Knife and Forkner" and the "Clayboy". The menu is fun and creative and makes me excited for the next time we go back. We have so many great pizza options in Chicago and this place is right at the top of the list. I particularly like the crust, its light and has good flavor and the toppings don't slide off (sorry Roots Pizza). The decor is beautiful, and the staff is super friendly without being too in your face. We were there during one of the final four games and my fiance was happy that they were showing the game and even turned the game sound on in the last few minutes since the score was so close. One of the managers was walking around and talking to tables and he told us the game was sort of a special occasion because of march madness and pointed out this beaded curtain that drapes over a couple of the tv screens so that they can hide them when they don't have a good reason to have them on. All in all its a great new addition to the neighborhood, we'll be back.

    This place is totally awesome. The food, the service, and the ambience of this new restaurant is unlike any other. When you walk in, you will be impressed. We ordered the breadsticks with goat cheese marinara for our appetizer and then had the pepperoni and the "clay bacon" pizzas as our entrees. We were NOT disappointed.

    The decor & atmosphere of this restaurant is just awesome. A nice change to a neighborhood full of sports bars that serve ok food. Homeslice had a great variety of apps, salads & damn good pizza! We had the funky chicken which my husband proclaimed to be one of the best pizzas in the city. The staff was super friendly & attentive and very accommodating to my 1 year old son. A great dining experience overall & looking forward to coming back!

    This was my first visit to Homeslice and despite high hopes I left very disappointed. We were seated quickly but it took over 10 minutes for our waitress to come to our table. The condiment tray had dirty napkins crumpled in it and it had no parmesan cheese. I asked for someone to bring us a parm shaker and it was never brought to our table. When we finally got our pizza, the Mercenary, it was DRY. Like another Yelper mentioned, the pizzas sound creative but the final product does not deliver and the flavors don't blend at all. The crust, however, was tasty. In an atttempt to salvage our pizza, we asked for a side of marinara sauce. The sauce tasted like it was store-bought and when we got our check they actually charged us for it!! We finally realized why our server was so inattentive when I saw her sitting down at a table in the corner talking with other people (maybe other staff?). Sorry, Homeslice! We won't be back!

    I have been here twice and was impressed both times. I've had the knife and forkner and the clay bacon, both were delicious! Highly recommend the whole wheat crust. I will definitely be going back here!

    I'm soo excited that I found this place! I am a pizza connoisseur, I love it and only appreciate the best. I definitely found it at Homeslice. The restaurant is very unique and has a very nice patio to enjoy the beautiful weather while eating. The menu is full different amazing varieties that step outside the norm for pizza. Just reviewing the menu is a lot of fun with so many choices. I decided to have the Special-K which includes- Italian sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, red onions, mozzarella, provolone, Parmesan and a delicious spinach ricotta sauce. The flavors harmonize perfectly all in one bite. The prices are reasonable for such gourmet pizza. You can also build your own pie, which is what I plan to do on my next visit. There service was great, I went on a Friday night and was impressed it with how got my order. This is definitely a great place for pizza fans that want something different from the norm and for great prices.

    It's only been open a week or so and since it's down the street we decided to give it a try. Great prices, pizza, and drinks. I love that they offer portions on salads in addition to pizza sizes. We had two of the pizzas and one of them we opted for the wheat crust. Both were excellent. Beers and wines were great as well. Plus the decor is amazing. Oregon inspired, the log cabin, community feel makes you almost think you're in Aspen (with big screen TVs to boot). And the owners are so friendly. One of them took the time to ask how our meal was and told us they are hoping to get a permit for outside seating (so if you live in Lincoln Park, email your alderman and tell him/her you want tables outside because this place is bound to pick up once summer hits). Such a wonderful addition to the neighborhood and I can't wait to go back again and bring friends. Seriously, go check it out now before it ends up on Check Please!

    I went with 4 stars for this one as the pizza (not the apps) and beer selections definitely win out over my frustrations with service and the most ridiculously loud patio I have ever encountered. We waited over an hour for hour food when the server finally came out to admit she'd lost our ticket and was just putting it in. The manager came to talk to us and gave us an order of chips and salsa (sub par) to hold us over and mentioned a discount. Pizza finally came and the cornmeal crust definitely distracted us for awhile, until the bill with only a 20% discount came along, leaving us with a sour taste.

    Super cute ambience. Very cozy on a rainy night. Great beer selection. Pretty good pizza. They do not go light on the toppings, so that's a huge plus. I will definitely be going back!

    Excellent service and very delicious pizza. The outdoor patio is a fun place to sit and the atmosphere inside is inviting. The only annoying part was me and my guest were at a table for 4 out on the patio enjoy our time together and the waitress brought another party of 2 and sat them right next to us at our table about halfway through our meal. We found that very awkward, uncomfortable, and ruined the rest of our intimate dining experience. I do not like communal seating while dining.

    We've been to Homeslice many times over the past several months. While the pizza is always excellent, for a change of pace try the Calzones. The Smoked Ham and Cheese Calzone is truly exceptional. For those of you who have been to France and enjoy Croque Monsieurs, this Calzone from Homeslice is a very close resemblance.

  • Eddie O.

    If you're going to charge $25+ for a medium pizza, it better be pretty f'ing unbelievable. The pizza I had, The Mercenary, had the makings of a spectacular pizza. And in fairness, the ingredients were fresh and well balanced. The issue was the crust. It was ROCK hard. I understand that restaurants have a bad nights from time to time, but this was my second visit and second disappointing pie. Again, I could look past a lot of things but when you're charging people through the nose, you better deliver one hell of good pie.

  • Timothy P.

    I had a good experience at my first time at Homeslice Wheel House. I had the Knife & Forkner pizza, which had barbecue sauce in place of tomato sauce. It was a good and different type of pizza. When I had to pay my waiter was on the other side of the restaurant eating, so I called over another employee to say I was ready for the check.

    This is the third time I have been there and it's good. I eat gluten-free and it's one of the best around. The only issue is that it is not consistent. Tonight is Saturday so it was busy but my pizza was way undercooked. Definitely disappointed as I had to put it in the toaster at home.

  • Elise C.

    I came here last week with my boyfriend and it was great! Our server was very nice and explained the menu and pizza sizes. The pizza maybe the best I've had in the city! (I'm not a deep dish fan) I loved the thin crust! Delish! I can't wait to try more of their pizzas :)

  • julia c.

    This place is awesome. I have been a few times and am sold. Their salad selection is great and the pizzas I've tried are awesome too. Everything is super fresh and made to order. The waitstaff is friendly and I really appreciate a bar/restaurant that has working owners. The owners were delivering beers to tables and chatting up customers the whole time I was there. Can't wait to go back!

    I just created a yelp account so I could sing the praises of Homeslice...my experience was that good. From the friendly dude on the phone when I called to confirm how late the kitchen would be open to the nice hostess to the smiling busboys, everyone I encountered was wonderful. Which leads me to my waitress Erin: she could NOT have been more friendly or helpful. She pointed out several favorites on the menu & seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the food. Which brings me to... The food: delish Their unique take on garlic bread is my new favorite thing. Thinly sliced, lightly toasted bread, roasted head of garlic, gorgonzola spread. SO GOOD I had the Sheffield salad, perfectly dressed, one of the best salads I've ever had (hello: avocado!) Atmosphere: one of the main reasons I wanted to check Homeslice out was because I'd heard about the decor: log cabin/lodge inspired yet modern. I love design & am a sucker for anything lodge-esque. It is so well done...really, really cool. Tree-trunk table tops, warm, cozy feel, mod-ish hanging light fixtures. And the ladies room is tiled w/hundreds of pennies...floor AND walls! The coolest. And finally, I'd like to discuss the MUSIC. This is equally important to me in a dining destination as food, & Homeslice knocked this out of the park as well. They were playing ROCK & ROLL!! Hoooorayyy! No terrible, generic house music, no insipid pop, straight up rock. I heard The Raconteurs, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, & Spoon. Great, warm sound system, perfect volume. One more thing: Pepsi! (I love Coke, too, but Pepsi *is* my preference) Homeslice, I LOVE YOU!

    They have Widmer Hefeweizen on tap! Served with a lemon, it's a great beer found mainly in cities in Oregon. And the pizza was excellent--crust perfect--and the two smalls we tried--meat one: Knife and Forkner and vegetarian one: Zephy both had great flavors. And loved having leftovers as they tasted great cold too! Owners nice guys to talk to. They should be allowed to have a sidewalk cafe which the neighbors are fighting. It's for locals of all ages as I'm middle-aged and fit right in.

    Checked out the new neighborhood spot last night and I was pleasently surprised. There has been nothing in this location for some time, so I had great hopes for Homeslice. It surpassed anything I could have hoped for. Pizza and salads are amazing, and good beers to boot. This style of pizza is lacking in the city, and the places taht do have good thin crust lack great ambiance and just aren't a place that you want to hang out. Homeslice covers all of that with great food and great log cabin decor. Like the sign says in the front window, I can't wait to "get some" soon.

  • Jen H.

    Just tried the new neighborhood pizza joint and it definitely exceeded my expectations. Very cool vibe inside and the staff was incredibly friendly. The pizza was awesome, but I was so excited about the salad options. Love that they offered more than the typical "lettuce, tomato, onion". So many options I can't wait to go back.

  • Clare W.

    Very happy to see this pop up in the neighborhood. The pizza is amazing and the menu is big enough to please everyone. I've tried it twice so far. First time I wasn't thrilled as we ordered takeout which was probably not the best idea. The pizza wasn't very warm by the time we got home (obviously, we are a few blocks away) and we ordered the breadsticks that were supposed to come with goat cheese and marinara... however they forgot to give us the goat cheese so all we had was the breadsticks which was definitely disappointing. Regardless, I decided to go back because the ambiance seemed fantastic and I wanted to try a hot pizza. Blown away by the za and breadsticks (this time with goat cheese) we ordered. Crust was perfect and our waitress was wonderful. The wine I had was delicious and all in all I thought the experience was great. I will definitely be back to taste more on the menu. Yum!

    Get some homie!!!! Okay this place is a must if you ever find yourself in Lincoln park. The patio is amazing. Lots of cool decor and fun things to take photos with. And we had one of the coolest servers I've had at a restaurant in a long time. Shout out to Andrew - were friends on Instagram now :) But to the food. The brunch options were amazing. I had a BBQ pork hash and it was basically a combo of all my favorite foods in one dish. BBQ. Eggs. Potatoes. Game set match! The mimosas were perfect after a long Friday night. Only downfall of the visit - No Gary the French bulldog. Hopefully next time!

  • Renaud S.

    Try their bread sticks and goat cheese!!! But keep some appetite for the pizzas because they are delicious as well. My favorite ones are the Kern-Holio (chicken) and the Zephy (meet-free), but all are (or seem to be) very good. Good choice of beers as well. And I loved the terrace, having diner here when the weather is good feels so comfortable!

    Dat Patio Doe. Dat Pizza Dough. ::Patio Life:: The patio vibe is like a ménage à trois between a log cabin, thrift shop backyard, and sports bar. It's a nice, lively patio with good TV viewing and ample seating. Every now and then the EL rumbles by and makes you pause your conversation for 5 seconds... But it just adds to the city ambiance. Homeslice's patio definitely makes it a destination point to just hang out and relax. ::Beer:: The beer selection is ample, and you can get pitchers of everything on tap. Sure, pitchers of beer? Sounds like the cheap ole' frat-bar trying to put away immense amounts of double-watered-down domestic beers... But they actually have decent beer in pitchers! Maybe this is like a hipster frat. You know the future is NOW when you can get that IPA or Allagash White in a plastic pitcher. For example, we got a pitcher of the hefeweizen on tap (forgot the name) and it was $22. Save a buck, without feeling like a bro-ey fratboy. ::Breadsticks & Goat Cheese:: Oh yeah... so simple, yet so good. The bread is nicely baked to acheive that delectable crust while being nice and fluffy inside. It reminds me of Crazy Bread from little caesar's... except better and fresher. The marinara is also amped up with the goat cheese mixed in. This dish just makes me wanna Dip, Baby, Dip. ::Pizza:: It's not really a NYC Slice. It's not really a Chi Deep Dish. It's not really a Thin Crust.... But the pizza takes on it's own identity as it has a thin enough crust to stay light while housing all the ingredients like a tiny baked AirBnB. -The Mercenary was exploding with flavor with the spiciness, creaminess, cheesiness, and freshness of the vegetables all living harmoniously on the warm crust island. -The Meet Mary was a more simple pie. But it still lived up to great pizza expectations. I'll be around, Homeslice...

    Pretty good addition the neighborhood. It's very adorable inside. The pizza is ok, not amazing. Their salads are amazing though! The service is a little slow whenever we come in. Plus everyone dresses like they just rolled out of bed. But it's a good go to spot.

    Now I've been here twice and I can truly say I'm a big fan of Homeslice. This restaurant has a nice patio area, so take advantage of sitting back there if the time of year is right. They have a ton of heaters so you can sit outside even when it's a bit chilly. The restaurant is normally pretty packed every evening, so prepare for a wait if you've got four or more people in your group. The menu is large and they have a huge variety of pizzas, which is obviously why you came here, so peruse and enjoy more than one. Even if there's only two of you, get two smalls to share (or three and take home the leftovers). I always find the menu a bit overwhelming since there's so many choices so I always have my dining companions pick whatever they want and I've always enjoyed what they've ordered. The Party Boi, Clay Bacon and Zephy are pizzas I've had with the same group of people twice and they're always delicious. The combos of veggies, meat, and spices are delicious and no pizza ever seems like it has too much or too little going on. They don't take reservations for large groups so you need to just wait once you get there. If it's off-peak times, they will seat one person waiting for a large group so that's nice since a lot of places don't do that anymore. Since it was early enough (6:00 p.m.) one of our eight was seated before we arrived and that was awesome since we just had a place to sit once we all started trickling in. Nice and close to DePaul, good food, decent drink prices and an interesting cocktail menu. Worth a trip, especially with friends.

    Reasons Why I liked Homeslice! -Patio Seating! -Lots of varieties on pizza- look up menu online if you are an indecisive person! -Close to an El! -Great Location in Lincoln Park -Prices for Pizza are all around 12-14 -Easy to share! -Not overfilling like pizza can be -2 dollar desserts which are Frozen Icecream Cake Pops -Beer selection -Perfect Happy Hour spot -Perfect Place to Watch a Game -Great open space That pretty much sums it up! It's a fun pizza stop to enjoy your time with a casual date, friends, or one person!

    By far my new favorite place. Last night was my first time. Upon arrival I was so happy to find that this location has a large amount of parking surrounding the restaurant. The patio outside was simply perfect. You wouldn't have guessed that this location had this behind it. The only problem with the patio situation was the "L" being right above but that I don't hold against them. Loved the selection of music. The staff was really great as well. The food was also really good. I had a blackened chicken Caesar salad. While also having the hoch to drink. Which was also good even though I am not a fan of sour drinks. My friends had the pizza and calzones and raved about how great their food was. Overall a great experience and definitely will be going back.

  • Hayley S.

    What a great atmosphere! I really like the decor and the whole vibe of the place. Came here for brunch and was pleasantly surprised. If it hadn't been so hot outside, I would've loved to sit on their patio. Next time. I got the breakfast-za and it was great! Basically the perfect size for one person, or to share with two people if you both aren't super hungry. The eggs were cooked perfectly (maybe could've used a tad more bacon, but so can everything). No complaints, really. I believe I got a mimosa and for the price, I wish it had been bigger but that's typical of brunch around Chicago. My sister got the bloody mary -- topped with a cold slice of pizza! I don't remember what she ate but I remember her finishing it and being full and happy.

  • Sadie R.

    I love this place. It has great food and a great atmosphere. It's a great place for dates but it is loud so if the focus of your meal is to chat, I'd sit at a bar or ask for quieter seating in the back!

  • Jamie M.

    Popped in for a quick lunch - had a decent Cesar salad for $7 and a slice ($4) of the Smoke Show, featuring flavorless chicken, raw jalapenos, cream cheese, chili flakes, a sprinkle of mozzarella and provolone, garlic and olive oil. Filled the hole for less than $15 with a soft drink.

  • Tim S.

    Ah Homeslice, I see you every day on the way in and out of work as I trundle by on the "L". You are so cute and kitchie, perfect for the neighborhood you reside. I have now been here twice and will say that their service is exemplary, on the spot, helpful, offering of advice, helping to navigate the menu, all around good at it. Only negative... almost too quick on the clear. I had just taken the last bite and my partner was still eating yet you swooped in and cleared my plate. Makes one feel rushed. Food, We split a Sheffield salad between the two of us then moved on to a small Big Teve, guys you make a good pie. Great topping options that are creative but not too much. Pretty much my only gripe about the place is holy freaking smokes your place LOUD. I am not talking about the L running by, that is kind of neat, but F me that place is full of energy and loud patrons, music and TV's. I have always found that loud music begets loud patrons begets louder music begetting louder patrons, it is a bit of a Catch-22 but could be mitigated a bit by not continually raising the audio, you are not a club after all. Then again maybe I am just getting to be an old ass man who will soon be shaking my fist at shadows but is has caused me, and the young lady, to close up our tab faster than we normally would.

    Great place to stop by for a quick slice of pizza (about $4) for lunch! Staff is friendly and pizza is so yummy! Crust is chewy, bottom of slice is crunchy, pizza is juicy and hot, hot pepper flakes and parmesan cheese are offered, napkins come in the carry-out bag, wait is only 5 minutes or less. I'd come back here to pick up lunch again! There are 3 options for pizza by the slice: cheese, pepperoni, and special of the day. Pizza slices are only available until 3pm, if I remember correctly. They also sell canned sodas. There's a separate section for carry out orders, which is near the back of the place by the kitchen. Pizza was fresh! Maybe I'll try dining in next time I'm here.

For those with kids not a good spot very crowded an a little too dark but please don't let that turn you away it's a winner order it to go

    This place is he beesknees. I ditched work one day to go galavanting around the city one day. My friend and I hit up Hot Dogs(obviously this went down before they closed) then we went shopping then we came to homeslice! They literally have the best rice Krispy treat you will ever eat! It's gooey, chewy and perfect. We each ordered a pizza they were delish! We ordered 2 different small veggie pizzas and split them between the two of us. We still had leftovers (bonus)! We also had a Bloody Mary or two. The glasses they come in are super cute and even say homeslice on them. I can't wait to come back to this spot and sit on the back patio. That's definitely going on my must do list for this summer! The bathroom is pretty awesome too! The floor and wall are pennies. This place is all around awesome from the service, to the drinks, to the pizza, to the desserts you just need to be here at least once.

    Really like this place. They have an awesome outdoor area and the inside it pretty as well. Came here for lunch on Saturday. I didn't understand why they carded me at the door at noon, even though there was kids in the place. We ordered a medium pizza and it was really really good! The service was a little slow though. We saw our waiter maybe 2 times the whole meal. He wasn't very attentive and we had to go find him to try to refill our drinks. I definitely want to come back here to lunch or dinner sometime to try something else.

    Not as bad as some have said, but I can definitely feel the tide change into a hipster orgy as time drifted into the later hours. Our server was very nice and stopped by frequently. We even got to meet the owners dog, Gary. Super cute. The pizzas were all very interesting and they had quite a few of legit veggie options. Im not a vegetarian by any means, but I really like specialty veggie pizzas. Prices were on par for the area, and all in all I had a good experience.

    Second time here in a month and have to update based on the great food and service my friends and I received last night. We came over after missing out on trivia at State and were seated immediately at one of the tables in the covered patio out back. It took awhile for the waitress to finally come but once she did, she provided excellent service to the 7 of us. We had a few pitchers of Lagunitas and Bell's Two Hearted to wash down our pizza and salads. Everyone seemed to love their food and they even accommodated my friend's strange order (he's majorly allergic to cheese--not just mildly lactose intolerant) and allowed us to just chill at our table without trying to rush us out. Definitely a better experience than my first and I hope they continue to improve!

    The salad!! I've had the pizza before, and it's pretty good, but this review is for the salad! Specifically, the blackened chicken caesar, but with the gorgonzola vinaigrette instead of the caesar. Perfect. So good. I really want the recipe for that dressing. It's basil-y and delicious, and goes perfectly with the sundried tomatoes and chicken. I would definitely come back just for this, plus it's a great deal. Mangia!

    Homeslice is the epicenter of progressive pizza culture - I eat here around three times a week. Great staff, relaxing atmosphere, amazing pizza, killer beer selection and the best Moscow Mules I've ever had. Natalie, Adam, Ryan, Caitlin, Heidi, Matt and the whole Homeslice gang make the experience unparalleled. It's the type of place you can find yourself staying all day. I would recommend the Clay Bacon Pizza with the Goat Cheese Marinara Sauce on the side to dip it in.

  • Mr. T.

    Privileged upper/middle class college kids taking selfies and generally being douchebags are the backdrop for this trainwreck of mediocre food and pathetic service. Yes, these are the kids who spent half their lives in the back of their parents' SUV's being shuttled between school, soccer and gymnastics classes in suburbia. They now spend half their waking hours texting and posting to Facebook, and the other half seeking out places where they can feel edgy by fist pumping, head nodding and ineptly twerking to mainstream rap. Homeslice is obviously one of their local proving grounds for perfecting the art of the serious-face group selfie, and bonding over their collective delusion that rap is the meaningful soundtrack of their generation. In the midst of all these antics, they run up huge bar tabs and eat the overpriced pizza (Thanks Mom & Dad!) being served here by yet more self absorbed college kids who are obviously more concerned with the way they look and checking texts at break time than anything that resembles real wait service. This place has the distinction of being the first pizza place I've ever hated in Chicago. Not only did they get our order wrong, but then our server (who never apologized) told us that we should have ordered online -- because the loud noise and music makes it hard for them to hear the orders correctly. Boo. Hoo. From there, she never asked us if we wanted beverages other than water, and only checked on us once toward the end of our meal (with zero expression on her face). After that, she went missing for 15 minutes, and we ended up having to ask the guy clearing tables for takeout boxes. But of course, there she was out of nowhere after everything was said and done -- dropping our check off with the only semi-smile of the evening... and obviously feeling entitled to a tip after all the hard work she'd done. (Of note, she didn't even have the presence of mind to take off the charges for the ingredients they had added by mistake!) Sadly, our "server" was not the only person working at Homeslice who didn't have a clue. Throughout our meal, we watched the hostess huddle around the front desk with other staff members for little bonding sessions (complete with high fives) over the endless rap playlist blasting over the speakers. And if that wasn't bad enough, she even made a sad attempt at "twerking" to Sir Mix-a-Lot -- along with quite a few of the drunk party girls spilling out of the bar area to adjust their hair, take selfies and wait for their boyfriends to head bob and fist pump their way to and from the bathroom like the streetwise urban warriors they were destined to become. At the end of the day, the pizza at Homeslice was only about a 4 in comparison to the bevy of other great options in the city. There was nothing at all special about this pizza -- other than the fact it came with a bunch of tired baggage. It was basically on par with airport food. If you are over 30, want to feel really really old, and be treated like you don't exist while eating Paris & Kim's idea of a good Chicago pizza, you gotta check this place out! Absolutely abysmal.

    So, So, So Good! Homeslice is an AWESOME pizza joint - with a great atmosphere, great drinks and of course good pizza! A fun place to catch up with friends, watch the Oregon Ducks - or just chill on a weeknight. The place is great. Highly recommended and can't wait to go back!

    I came here back in October for a lunch stop with a friend who was visiting from out of town. I always see it from the El on my way to work and the sign is so cute, it gets me every time. We started with some homemade chips and salsa. They were pretty run of the mill, but good. We were starving so everything helps! For the pizza, we ordered the Mac Diesel: Pepperoni, mushrooms, romas, red onions, mozzarella, provolone & House sauce Although pizza is pretty standard and hard to mess up, this one was really good. The crust was soft in the right places and crunchy in the right places. It had great spices and just really hit the spot. With that and a couple of beers, we had the perfect amount of food and warmed ourselves up on a Fall afternoon. The pizzas all sounded awesome so I want to go back for more!

    I was recently at Homeslice for the first time a few weeks ago and it was by far the BEST pizza in Chicago! Everything about this place is amazing! Impeccable customer service from the entire staff which is odd these days. The appetizers and dessert were also winners! The place is super cool inside and their outdoor area is very hip and original. I look forward to my next visit! Yay for Homeslice!!!!

  • Christopher P.

    We ordered two small Smoke Show and Hughes Delight pizzas. I enjoyed the Hughes Delight because, but I would not recommend the Smoke Show. The chicken was dry and cream cheese was used in lieu of sauce so overall the pizza was dry. I give four stars based on the atmosphere. Without that, I would give it 3.

    We went here for dinner with a party of 8 + 1 highchair. We weren't planning on going here so we didn't have a reservation. The hostess was very helpful and spotted some tables that looked like they would be done soon. We only had to wait about 20 minutes but it was also around 5pm. We ordered 3 large pizzas and probably had about a full pizza leftover. They were huge!! And the slices were cut huge as well. We got one veggie, one with roasted chicken, and one with pepperoni. They definitely don't skimp on the toppings. The roasted garlic that was on two of the pizzas was awesome -- if you love garlic which I do. It was literally full cloves of roasted garlic. I got a Moscow mule as my drink which was good but not great. A few people at our table got beer and wine but I don't think the drinks are why people come here. No one had anything to say about the pizza! I would definitely go back here!

    I love Homeslice! I went here on a Friday afternoon with some friends and we ordered the Lew-Wow... Wow! It was so good. I'd never tried Hawaiian pizza before but the fruit on top was great and the Canadian bacon was a bit crispy, just how I like it! It was thin crust pizza and we got a medium. Perfect for 3 people! It comes with 6 slices and was only $21, so it wasn't bad to split up when it came time to pay. One of my friends is allergic to dairy, and they have LOTS of vegan, dairy free and even gluten free options! My first experience was great. I go to DePaul and Homeslice is like a 2 minute walk away from campus. Can't believe I'd never tried it before! Highly recommend it and I'll definitely be back to try more stuff.

    Great pizza joint that is NOT Chicago style! We live in the neighbor and the atmosphere is so homey. Love the gourmet style pizza... Our favorites are the knife and forkner as well as the A-Val-lance veggie pizza. Also the Sheffield salad is amazing!! Definitely a must have! We love eating there.

    I have been coming to Homeslice off and on for the last three months and I realized quicky that this place can offer something no other place in Chicago can. A consistent positive atmosphere. That said, their breadsticks with goat cheese marinara sauce is what I would recommend to any first timer. You can't miss with the pizza.

    My husband and I went here for lunch. I follow them on Instagram and the food always looked delicious. We sat out back on the patio. The L train runs by every few minutes and at first I thought that's going to be annoying but it wasn't it really added to the charm of this Chicago neighborhood pizza place. The bathroom floor was made of Penny's! Super cool. Now let's talk pizza! The crust was crispy. All the ingredients were fresh and the cheese was melts and stringy just the way I like it with a little snap to it when you are pulling a slice away from the pie. The service was good. Loved it!

    This restaurant is in the heart of DePaul and is teeming with young students! It requires an id to get in and specializes in.. Pizza of course! My husband and I got the jalapeño homies. We figured these were pretty standards fried spicy cheese balls; however we were wrong! These were jalapeños cut in half filled with delicious cheese, bacon, and chives with a side of BBQ sauce! It was a delicious suprise and definitely enough for 2-3 people. I got a BBQ chicken pizza and my husband got a chicken and garlic pizza. We were super full after each getting the small size and only having half! The crust is incredible and they have a pretty darn awesome house made dill ranch! Overall, the atmosphere was definitely a young crowd but fun! We had virtually no wait on Mother's Day in the morning brunch time! We were seated on a back patio that had amazing lounge seating for groups! This is an awesome place to go out with your friends and older family!

    One of my favorite places in Chi for atmosphere, food, and drinks. Friendly wait staff, great location, and the owners adorable dog Gary walks around once in a while. Haven't tried a pizza I didn't like and the goat cheese appetizer is delicious. I ordered a Bloody Mary and it was awesome

    Went to Homeslice tonight, jotted down a few notes. .. Well, let's jump into it - Let me start this off by saying the food, while delicious, was an afterthought. The real stars of the show were our two servers, the best duo since Simon and Garfunkle. Sara - the type of girl you would want to bring home to your mom. A fearless leader, the type of chick you'd want in your foxhole. And not to mention a smile that'll make you freeze in your footsteps. Kate - the type of girl you'd want bring home to your mom. A quick learner, with a real knack for connecting with the customer. Not the mention her eyes sparkle like Lake Michigan on a sunny day. All in all, I'm definitely going back . Or hopefully seeing them down the street at marquee lounge.

    I went here on a Thursday night for dinner. It was a party of three and they were able to seat us right away. We were seated at the outdoors area and the decor was amazing. The lights and the music really gave the atmosphere a welcoming feel. The drinks were good, we got a pitcher of Sparkling Gerry, Jalapeno Homies and medium sizer funky chicken. The service was excellent and the our waitress was able to answer any questions. A really great place to hangout with friends.

    Awesome pizza spot. The pizza is actually great. Thin dough, great toppings. I only wish there was prosciutto and mushroom options. You're left with Canadian bacon, I wish there was actual bacon. Numerous tvs, so if you want to catch the game and have a good lunch, come here! The drinks are great and good options for beer. Definitely recommend this spot! Outdoor seating is always the best!

    Homeslice is amazing and I've never once had a complaint until this evening when I was waiting for a table, never did I mind the wait, and I heard the host with the dirty blonde bun in the long sleeve Hawks shirt and black shorts say to the host behind the desk "why are people still putting their names on the list?" The other host replied with "I don't know". I didn't know having business and people wanting to wait to eat in your restaurant was an issue for people who strive to make money. I guess as a guest it made me feel like I was doing something wrong by waiting... Robin outside was awesome though for being the only server. Thanks Robin! Per usual pizza and hummus rocked it!

    For a place full of fake, shiny wood cabin logs as decor, this place actually felt pretty homey inside. I think all of that fake cabin feel actually made me feel warmer inside! And if you are into an overwhelming selection of pizza options, this place is that. We had trouble just reading through all of the pizza options and then we decided to try something novel we hadn't seen before--cream cheese on a pizza! Yes, I know that sounds gross. And I was hesitant too and I even asked the server how cream cheese was on a pizza since they actually have multiple version of cream cheese pizzas here! Who would have thought! But we decided to jump on board after our server said that the cream cheese melts into it all so you can't even really tell, and she was right. We got a pizza with cheese, cream cheese, roasted chicken and jalapenos and it was pretty tasty. And thin crust too which I am always a fan of. But I don't really know why the pizza took so long to get our to our table. A medium size is good for two people and at around $23 for that size it isn't too pricey of a dining out option at all. And another bonus? The bathroom has pennies everywhere! Laminated into the walls and floors, I had to make myself go to the bathroom twice just to check it out again ha ha

    What was supposed to be a small gathering of 4 friends suddenly turned into a bash of 12 hungry and thirsty souls one quiet night and thanks to Jamie behind the bar and Jessica on the service floor we all had the best night. Appetizers of hummus, goat cheese dip and chips n salsa came out quick and hot to help the absorb the round of shots the celebration demanded and soon enough the pizzas followed to silence all of our loudness into submission. Lots of sports on the walls of light and cozy warm heat lamps in the back VIP area full of comfy couches and even more sports to gather around. Gets louder with the overhead red and brown line CTA, but its chicago at its finest. cheers!

    This is my favorite spot in Lincoln Park! Great pizza (knife and forkner is my favorite) with an incredible atmosphere! The patio out back has the coolest vibe and even has heaters for when it gets cold! They sometimes give out smores when the weather gets cold. The staff is nothing but fun and energetic to be there. I've eaten there multiple times a week and am not ashamed of that! Great pizza! GO HERE!

  • Kelsey M.

    Awesome place! Great food - we had the jalapeño homies and they were bomb! Then had the funky chicken and zephy pizzas (between the two of us, it was the perfect amount, both smalls). Our waiter Carter was awesome! It was our first time at the restaurant and we were visiting from out of town and he was very generous.

  • Eddie G.

    The ambiance is uniquely cool. With my six other friends, I enjoyed the garlic spread appetizer and a Bloody Mary in the rustic van reserved for larger parties seeking outside dining. The 8$ Bloody Mary at Homeslice is epicness: a homemade mix, garnished with Hawaiian pizza, a pepper and pepperoni, and it's served with a side of Coronita beer. Go.

  • Shayla P.

    Service here was awful. We moved to another table because our server never showed up. The waitress we ended up with made excuses for not giving us attention. We had to constantly ask other servers for refills, and our check. We probably could have walked out without paying and nobody would have noticed. I suggest sitting at the bar if you want service. Best part about this place was the food.

  • Corey C.

    The pizza was disappointing. A bit dry. Go somewhere else for pizza if that's what you're looking for. The drinks looked good, but they wouldn't serve me. I had forgotten my ID, but I'm 31. Maybe I should chalk it up to a compliment? Overall a disappointing experience given the hopes we had for this place as visitors from out of town.

    Absolutely love this place. Great people / staff, great atmosphere and incredible pizza. The outdoor space is great for dinner with friends or for a date. They also have great beers and house drinks. Get the Moscow Mule - they do it right here. Appetizers are also to die for - make sure to get the goat cheese and breadsticks and the meatball. The owners, Josh and Clay, are awesome guys and know customers by name. Super homey neighborhood feel. 100% recommended to anyone!!

    I cannot say enough good things about this place - it's our favorite and by "ours" I mean me and all my friends !! Everything from the pizza to the drinks and the staff, this place is our go-to spot when hunger calls!!! Get the spicy margs & the smoke show pizza. Also the meatball to split with friends is great!! Thanks to everyone there for always making it a memorable experience. ( what happens in the airstream stays in the airstream ).

    Homeslice - you renewed my faith in the DePaul area of Lincoln Park. Since graduating from DPU more than a couple of years ago now, I haven't really had reason to go back very much, except to sometimes relive my college days by going into Kelly's or McGee's for a hot second and realizing I'm too old for such foolishness. Sure, there are plenty of other good restaurants in the area, just further away. This is probably the best spot to visit in the campus area. The last time we stopped in, it was the first night of my bachelorette weekend. We were just looking to relax in a fun atmosphere with some pizza and cocktails to kick off festivities and that's exactly what we got and more. We were seated pretty quickly in one of the little outdoor couch booths. We were drinking pitchers of the hooch, which I highly recommend. We started with a goat cheese and bread appetizer. All the pizzas we tried after that were amazing - a BBQ chicken one, a veggie one, and a hawaiian type one. I've come to the conclusion that none of the pizzas you could order would be bad. They handled our fairly large group really well and we had a great time, plus everyone loved the food. I only wish Homeslice was there when I was a student because I would have gone every weekend! I will definitely return to campus any day to visit Homie.

    So we decided to try this place thanks to my trusty fellow Yelpers. They did not disappoint. The breadsticks were phenomenal. That goat cheese marinara dip is like an explosion of deliciousness in your mouth! We had the Mr Sanchez pizza and it was like Mexico meets Italy! The flavors blended perfectly, and that crust....oh my god that crust!! It is definitely unique, as others have mentioned here: uniquely and perfectly delicious. And as if that weren't enough, those chocolate chip cookies are incredible. They are filled with chocolate and arrive to your table nice and warm, ready to tempt you to test the limits of your stomach! We sat outside and the ambiance is great. It's very laid back, but still has a classy feel. I definitely recommend this spot!!

  • Jaime G.

    Great pizza place on Lincoln park. Very big and accommodating with two patios and inside area that's fun and lively. The core offering here is pizza - and even gluten free options as well. We had the gluten free breadsticks with goat cheese/tomato sauce. We then tried the pepperoni pizza (regular crust) and it was awesome. Very good tasting crust, sauce and spicy pepperoni. The best though was the greens eggs and ham breakfast pizza. Get this...pesto, fresh cracked eggs, potatoes, and thinly sliced ham. Come here just for that. Service and beer selection are decent. But ready deal with the 20 something crowd.

  • Melanie T.

    My most favorite place in the all of Chicago! Pizza is delicious! It's better than traditional deep dish pizza! I love the variety and daring ingredient combinations! Bre was our server and she was great! I forgot the name of the drink she had suggested me to try but I ordered it and it was refreshingly good! Had a little kick to it since there was a slice of jalapeno in it but it was a good kick. My husband and I sat out back. The patio area is so freaking cute! I can't wait to go back with friends! Without friends is just fine too. Oh and I love the music they play there! When we got there it was a mix of, rap, trap and hip hop...my faves! Definitely coming back! And definitely making myself a regular!

    I want to like Homeslice more than I did. THE GOOD: The Mozzerella Bread Sticks ($9) were on point. Nicely done. I liked the interior design. It feels like you're in a log cabin. That's pretty sweet. THE BAD: When we walked in, the host told us the wait would be 40 minutes for a table. We walked across the street and put in a drink order when all of a sudden... our table at Homeslice was ready. Wha? Hey, I'm all for getting my table earlier than anticipated, but when the wait is just ten minutes, don't guess it's going to be 40. Service was abysmal. Our server totally vanished after taking our orders. We would have ordered more booze and we desperately needed water refills, but she was AWOL. It's also really goddamned loud in Homeslice. Chads and Trixies alike clogged the bar area. Why come to a really crowded pizza restaurant only to order drinks and try to hook up? THE IFFY: The pizza was only so-so. I got the Bennett's Beauty (Small - $12) with pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, mozzarella, provolone & marinara. The crust was pretty dry, in contrast to the bread sticks. Also, all the toppings fell right off as soon as I lifted the slice. You're better off getting pizza from Blaze. I'd come back to Homeslice on a weekday when they'd hopefully have their act together. But really, this is mediocre food in a pizza Mecca like Chicago.

  • Ellie W.

    OMG best gluten-free pizza!!! SERVICE: Our waitress was great! As soon as I mentioned I was "gluten-free" she inquired on specific measures that the kitchen needed to take. She was very educated on the menu and what to suggest. FOOD: My mother and I were quite hungry when we decided to grab a late lunch. We shared a order of cheese-sticks and the Sheffield salad as appetizers. The salad was $7 and plenty to share. We were VERY impressed. The cheese-sticks were good but an extra $3 was added for the GF crust (which we didn't find out until the bill came). We shared a 10" Bennet's Beauty GF pizza and it was great!!! My mom who is not allergic to gluten thought the pizza was as good as any. EXTRA: The scenery was great! We were seated immediately by the window which was opened. It was a little loud when the train went by but I thought it added character. Great place to dine!

    Homeslice is bomb. I've never eaten in the restaurant but have gotten delivery and takeout several times. Try smoke show and ava-lance. Yum yum. FYI although the delivery estimate is always something like 50 minutes, I have NEVER waited more than 20. Ever. It's always on my doorstep super fast. I make pizza at home almost every week but if I get delivery, lately Homeslice is my go-to. Get some homie, indeed!

  • Bree N.

    I used to pass by this place on my way home from work every day and thought the sign was cool, and that's the story of why I brought friends visiting from out of town here. Luckily they were pretty quickly impressed. Homeslice has such a cool vibe - eclectic decor, good music, friendly staff. I loved it before even sitting down. I ordered a ginger sour (yum) plus a Caesar salad and the breadsticks with marinara and goat cheese to start. The salad was weirdly spicy, not bad though, but it was the breadsticks that made the meal what it was. Maybe I'm just a sucker for goat cheese but they were amazing. I got the Da Duba pizza in a personal size and was a little disappointed. I couldn't point out what was wrong with it but it wasn't as good as I was hoping. I think it had something to do with the artichokes tasting off, but maybe I'm just picky. Either way, everyone else seemed to enjoy theirs!

    Great place for any occasion!! Love this place every time we stop by- night, day, weekend, weekday!!! Pizza is ALWAYS great! But really, even when we're not in the mood for pizza, the salads are amazing, soups and appetizers are soooo delicious! So many different types of apps to satisfy the guests- my favorite being the roasted garlic- literally whole pieces of roasted garlic, juicy, soft and melt in your mouth!!! The pie though!! Each and every one of these (and I've tried at least seven different kinds) are very different and delicious in their own way. I'm partial to the Special K, a great concoction of meat and veggies, not too much of the red sauce (I'm weird). And the bread and crust is just perfect- soft and crispy at the same time! And not too heavy like a lot of Chicago pizza. Let's talk about the oh-so-delicious drinks to go with the awesome food!! Because you can't have one, without the other ;) the cool special cocktails are made one-of-a-kind like the Sparkling Gerry that Gilmar perfects every time!! The draft beer they have fits all the different tastes you'll crave too. Not to mention the Moscow Mules they have in the necessary copper mugs ;) they really know how to make it extra special! I could go on and on about the food and drinks but the fun part of stopping by is how nice the staff is! Adam is a huge part of the ambience of this place! He keeps everything going and everyone smiling! I love it!!! Always makes you feel at home when you stop by. Great place!!!

    Can I just say THIS PLACE IS THE BOMB. It literally is everything I want in a restaurant. They were throwin it back July 3rd with some really good 2000's HIP HOP & RnB classics. Ugh, Loved it. The pizza's here are soo so good. We tried all of them at least once. The pizzas come out freshly made with not a lot of sauce and a bunch of veggies and meat (that's how I LIKE IT!) I was with a party of 12 people and this place accommodates well for large groups. Although we didn't have the chance to sit outside maybe next time? Our server was great and always came promptly to give drinks,shots, and take our pizza orders. Parking was easy to get right across the street but I would say this place can get really busy especially if there is a game on. I would def recommend anyone to come here for great drinks and pizza and a good a** time! P.S. Thank you to our server for bringing out the birthday boy and girl ice cream snickers bars with a baby candle to blow out!

    This review is kind of painful to write. Let me begin by saying I absolutely love their food & the outdoor seating here, hence why I keep coming back. However, the service is horrible. I have been here a handful of times & it seems to keep getting worse. This past Saturday a group of 6 of us came here for brunch. Our waitress had no idea what the "Breakfast Pizza" was (ummm, you work here) & was very rude every time we asked her a question. We all ordered mimosas & they all seemingly had different amounts of champagne in them. We sent back a couple & instead of serving us new ones, our waitress told us that they were fine. Um, no. I am not paying $8 for a glass of shitty orange juice. When it came time to get a our check that was another ordeal, which yet again resulted in our waitress having a poor attitude to us paying customers. I wish the management would get the staff right because this place has the potential of being one of the most enjoyable outdoor eating spots in Chicago. I will not be coming back in the near future.

    My friend took me to this place when I was visiting and I really enjoyed it...I mean deep dish is so Chicago, but how many carbs can a girl take? Upon walking in, I really liked the cool (clean) hipster vibe I got - modern furnishings and wood finishes through out. I ordered a Moscow mule which was delish and served out of the very necessary copper mug. We shared a Caesar to start -not hard to messup, well dressed and topped with crispy buttery croutons. For pizzas we order the knife and forkner - I'm not usually a fan of bbq sauced pizzas but this one had a great balance of toppings and bbq sauce - nothing overpowered anything else. The crust was amaze - crispy, not too much breading and just tasted darn good. We also orded th Schira Palin which was not very impressive - when it mentioned garlic, I was not expecting full cloves of garlic all over - a definite don't if you're on a date! But surprisingly even with all that garlic, I found the flavor bland - nothing on the pizza was seasoned - a pretty boring taste, like I was eating merely for sustanance without any pleasure for my tastebuds, a disappointment. Even though I only enjoyed one of the pizzas, I thought the place was cool and everything else I saw looked really good. I'll be back for some pizza next time I'm in town to try some of their other selections!

    Homeslice is one of my favorite pizza places in the city! I can not say how much I LOVE this place! The vibe is super chill and urban, yet homey. The outdoor patio in the summer is so much fun and has a cool old motor home acting as the bar. The Knife and Forker pizza, Goat Sticks, and Caesar Salad are my go to items. Their ranch dressing is the best I've had! Ohhhh and they have huge homemade rice crispy treats. They aren't on the menu, but are in the back by the pick-up station. Ask your waitress and she'll bring one to you. They taste just like grandmas! HomeSlice, also has an amazing beer selection and some great cocktails. The moscow mule is on point and their brunch Bloody Mary is a little piece of heaven. If you don't want the traditional deep dish Chicago pizza then I totally recommend giving Homeslice a try.

    Good place to go if you have a large group and want a chill environment to nom on some pizza and have some beers. We went here w/ a party of 7 on a Tuesday night and they were able to seat us immediately in the back room on some sofa tables (warning: be careful when you plop your butt down to sit on the sofas - they're lower than you think!). There's a huge selection of pizzas - a bit overwhelming for me, but some people like having lots of options. The pizzas are alright - I had the BMZ and was satisfied, but I definitely wasn't blown away by it. The prices are fair: the girls ordered salads, the guys all got a small pizza to themselves, and we all split 4 pitchers of beer - this came out to about $26/person before tip. Service was good and we didn't have to wait a long time for our food. Also, each table has a bottle of Sriracha (in addition to the standard shakers of parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes), which I thought was awesome. Be warned though that one of the trains is right next to the restaurant, so you're able to hear it every time it passes by. 3.5 stars overall, but rounding up for the dope name, homie.

  • Mike B.

    The wife & I were in the area and went to Homeslice this afternoon. We were not impressed. We got a meaty pizza (BMZ I believe), and noticed that the bottom crust was sopping wet with grease. Some of that could have been due to the grease from the meat, but it should have been a bit thicker to compensate for this. We also had the Not Your Father's Root Beer, which was fantastic, and I would strongly recommend it.

    Came Monday evening and place was pretty busy but not super packed. Our group of three was seated and given our menus promptly. Placed an order of the breadsticks with goat cheese sauce, ordered drinks, and all came in a timely manner. Just a minute after that, we were ready to place our order for pizza. However, our waiter was no where to be found. Actually, we saw him numerous times passing us but helped every other table instead. We even thought he distinctively stared at our table, noticing our menus still out, but again neglected us. We waited over 10 minutes to order and that was only because my bf had to chase and flag him down as he was running away again. We weren't even seated in the back. Pizzas came out in a timely manner and they were good. I had the Schira Palin. However, with the pizza game in the Chi being more competitive, I don't find myself craving or needing Homeslice pizza, unlike I do for Coalfire, Armitage Pizzeria, or Pequod's. However, I do enjoy the setting and comfort of Homeslice. We were in the middle of eating and our waiter just brings us take out boxes for our leftovers, which was odd, as they usually ask you first, especially since my bf eventually finished all of his food and thus, not needing a box. Check was given promptly. Not very impressed with this place anymore. Not horrible but our waiter was completely out of it. Definitely not a must go-to anymore.

    I attend DePaul University. I come here after class for lunch around 1130. It's a good place. I love the servers and bartenders they have here. They are very friendly and helpful. I haven't been here when it's busy so I can't speak to the service during crunch time but when I do come it's great. They have a wide variety of pizza in the menu. Some of the stuff in the menu may sound confusing or intimidating but if you ask your server for something simple they will definitely accommodate. The food is delicious and If you drink you have to try their Moscow Mule.

    Have been to Homeslice countless times....you already know the pizza is good and the cocktails are strong so I will speak to service. The hostess team is always accommodating. I have yet to have poor service and today's lunch with Andrew was particularly great. So friendly, gave honest opinions to our questions and is just the right amount of attentive. Get some, homies !

    Finally had a chance to check out Homeslice and liked almost every thing about it. Four of us arrived at 7pm on a Friday night. We wanted to sit on the famous back patio (there are only so many patio days left for the year!) and were told the wait would be 45mins-1hr. They took my phone number (loooooove when places do this rather than forcing me to stand around awkwardly at an already too crowded bar) and a little less than an hour later our table was ready, as promised. We started with an order of their mozzarella breadsticks, which were good, but took quite some time to come out. For the main, we opted to get individual small pizzas rather than a larger one to share. The small is perfect for one person and since we all ordered something different, we got to try 4 different ones. I can't remember what the others had (although they were very good), but my "smoke show" pizza was great. Everyone else had beer, while I opted for a cocktail; it was too sweet, so next time I'll steer clear of that. The patio was a lot of fun and the atmosphere great. Service was friendly. I expected the prices to be higher and am glad they weren't. Overall an enjoyable experience and a place I'd definitely recommend.

    The back patio at this joint is nothing less than phenomenal. You get the whole campfire-bonding-with-my-homies feel. There's a train cart at the back of the yard with tables and seats inside, with couches on top of turf just outside of that. I believe there's a sign that reads "BE AWESOME" outside as well, with spiffy little lights scattered across everywhere. On top of the sweet homey atmosphere, the pizza is outstanding. The BBQ chicken and Bloody Mary with a piece of Hawaiin pizza in it will have me strolling into this place for brunch on many, many Sunday mornings.

    I went to homeslice for brunch last weekend and I had a great time. Weather was perfect for sitting outside on the patio along the sidewalk but they also had wide open windows open if you wanted to sit inside. On the weekend the normal menu is available all day along with a special brunch menu. I wanted to try something on the brunch menu so I got the bacon egg and cheese pizza. It was truly delicious and I ate the whole thing even tho I should have eaten half. My friend got the Very Gary gluten free pizza and she said it was the best gluten free pizza she had ever had. My ex and I had tried making gluten free pizzas at home but had never really turned out truly pizza like results but this looked fluffy and chewy like a pizza crust should! I don't even like pizza very much but I can't wait to go back and try different things at homeslice. The calzones looked great!!

    All the reviews are spot on - cool modern log cabin feel, creative and delicious pizzas (crust was perfect) along with a nice selection of microbrews (both bottle and tap) and mixed drinks. Checked this place out with a friend for the Oregon/FSU game and it was indeed packed with Ducks fans - and hence a 2.5 hour wait for a table. Luckily, we were able to belly up to the bar and where we ended up eating as well. Pizza was a concoction of ingredients I would have never thought would be good on a pizza, but it was excellent - and ended up overeating as a result. Recommend getting out of your normal pizza ingredients comfort zone and try something new here. Good service and overall experience. Will be back.

    Homeslice is amazing for their gluten-free options. I have had a lot of their pizzas and gluten free breadsticks and they never disappoint.

    Went for lunch, ordered salad and pizza. Salad was large, fresh, well balanced. Pizza was outstanding, great crust, marinara sauce was the best I've ever had. Italian sausage was spicy but not to hot. Pricing was extremely affordable for the quality. It was topped off by service from Andrew that made the whole experience worth writing a review.

    I found Homeslice because my friends and I were looking for some gluten free options--beyond chicken salads and bunless burgers. After one bad experience with gluten free pizza where the crust tasted like cardboard, I was hesitant to try gluten free pizza again. To my surprise Homeslice's gluten free pizza was delicious! Definitely look forward to coming back again.

    my sister and I chose this place because we saw photos on yelp / Instagram of the awesome outdoor back area. unfortunately we did not know that it's only for those 21+, and my sister is not of age. we were forced to sit in a different area and I, being 24, was not allowed to order a drink. it sucked because part of the reason we chose the restaurant was for the experience. But, our server was fabulous and gave us complimentary dessert for our disappointment. overall, the pizza was alright, as well as the atmosphere. our service was outstanding. just be aware of the 21+ rule for their outdoor seating area.

    Great ambiance, great outdoor space. Too be honest, not that impressed by the pizza... obviously I am like 1/45634864531 that is not fond of their pizza, but thats okay. I will give them this though.... their crust and pizza dough is amazing! All in all, not worth making a trip back

    Enjoyed the homey atmosphere of this place. We were seated out on the covered patio. Only thing was that as the sun went down, the heat was cranked, making it extremely warm. But we are in transitional weather, so it can be hard to tell. Staff seated us promptly and were very friendly. I had the Special K with marinara sauce instead of the ricotta pesto. Not bad, but not the greatest I've had, either. But there are other pizzas that I'd like to try! The menu is very extensive; it was hard to choose!

    Live right around the corner and am frequently tempted by the whiffs of cheese and carbs. This place is very trendy and a lot of people agree because the wait can get really long on the weekends. There have been a handful of times where they've quoted me a wait time and I just sauntered over to State instead. Decor aside, the pizza tends to be pretty good. I thought their veg variations were all a bit repetitive and the toppings made the dough soggy and squished. I usually NEVER eat cheese pizza because I live for toppings (and I'm not boring) but their cheese pizza has stolen my heart. The reason is that the pizza dough is where it's at, and ordering a plain cheese pizza allows for the dough and pizza to shine. The crust is so chewy and nice- you are a fool if you skip the crusts here. Great place to hang out, especially when it's nice out and they open their patio and outdoor seating. Can't wait for my next Homeslice trip! Get some homie!

    I came here with the boy on a Friday night. We got there around 7PM and were told it would be about a 25 minute wait for a table outside. We put in our name and gave our phone number and maybe 10 minutes later received a text that our table was ready. I ordered a glass of wine and the boy had the pomegranate jalapeno margarita, which was so delicious that the boy ordered a second one. He never does this. We started with the raspberry vinaigrette salad and then a pizza. The salad came out right away, but then it seemed to take forever to get our pizza. The table next to us ordered after us and were pretty much done with their pizza before we even got ours. I think that was our only complaint. There were other things on the menu we thought about getting, so I'm sure we will be back to try some of them. Overall, a good experience.

    We had homeslice for the first time today. The service was very accommodating. We were seated outdoors and it began to rain and we got a table inside rather quickly. We ordered a Caesar salad to start . It came out in 5 mins, $6 and it was fantastic. The dressing was so flavorful. I ordered the party boy- it was the bomb! They are not stingy on their toppings! Pepperonis galore. My fiancé got a sausage-pepperoni pizza and loved it. The sauce is so fresh and full of flavor. We will def be back! Super awesome atmosphere!

    What's crackin' homeskillet? Homeboy? Homie? Homesliceeeeee?! The latter is what cracks that dough whip, ya heard, and cracks it A-OK. We came on a Monday night around 8 p.m. for some slices .... $75 later for two pies and three beers... and I'm kinda feeling like I was sliced and diced. Because it was just... OK. I got the Hughes Delight (plus pepperoncinis) and my lovely wife got the Lew-Wow (which needed about a handful more of pineapple to make the ham-to-fruit ratio solid.) Mine was soggy in the middle and tasted like Earth. IT could have been the mushrooms, I don't know. I'm just not feeling it. The space is lovely, though, and our server was on point. We wanted to sit outside in the beer garden, but the impeding storm navigated our rears to inside seats. I'd come to sit outside and have a drink, but probably not pizza again. I don't know. I'm wishy-washy. And to be wishy-washy about pizza is just a sad, sad thing.

    All I have to say is this is the best gluten free pizza in the city. It's the best because the crust is thick and you can get any of their pizzas on a small gluten free crust. Did you hear that....ANY OF THEIR PIZZAS COME ON GLUTEN FREE CRUST!!! That's amazing! And they have so many unique options to choose from. This place is great. I love it

    My friends live around the corner, so they like to stop by or pick up from here whenever they have a pizza craving, which is quite often. The pizza here is DELICIOUS, especially if you're in the mood for crispy but chewy thin crust. The pizza options are a little overwhelming because there are sooo many combinations to choose from, but I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. I've tried the Boyler Room, Mac Diesel, Ava-Lance, and the Lucille and my favorite probably is the Boyler Room because the pizza can get a little too wet if there are too many toppings. As far as drinks, I've had the Standard Mule here, which was very refreshing and delicious. Overall, Homeslice is a great place to go for pizza and drinks with some friends! I've also heard that their brunch pizza and Bloody Marys are out of this world, which I will definitely check out sometime.

    It really pains me that I can't give this place 5 stars since pizza dough quality wise, it might be the best thin crust dough I have ever had (I've had famous thin crust in NY). The dough is perfectly crisp and chewy while the crust is simply perfection. I don't know how it's so magically good, but if I could get an order of crust topped with cheese and dipping sauce, I would just do that. I came here with a big group and we had a bunch to try. Starting the evening we had bread sticks and goat cheese- it wasn't unique but it was tasty and we had sauce leftover for dipping our pizza. We ordered a bennetts beauty, strike and posner, and the schira palin. The Bennett's had some classic favors and was our party's favorite. I wasn't a huge fan of the sun dried tomatoes atop the posner, but after picking them off, the cheesy pesto combo was damn delicious. Lastly, the schira palin was pretty disappointing since there was nothing melty or cheesy about the pizza - things I greatly enjoy. It all seemed very cold especially with the raw diced tomatoes on top. Luckily the crust was amazing like all the other pizzas, but I felt like my dish pick was the least appealing. Sitting outside in their heated patio was a pretty cool experience- it's loungey and conducive to conversation. The service here is spectacular and overall I enjoyed the atmosphere. I'm sure ill get another chance to come here and update this thing to a 5!

    Worst customer experience I've ever had. We went there for a friends birthday party. We were given a hard time because we didn't end up getting as many wristbands as guests. They threatened to charge is even though we ordered a ton of food, shots, etc. the manager was a major prick. Guy had serious anger management issues. Do not go there under any circumstances. There are plenty of nice places nearby. Take your business elsewhere.

    Finally made it to Homeslice! And I'm happy to report that it well, it made me happy! Me and my 2 girlfriends sat outside and immediately got a table, even though it was Friday evening. We ordered beers and the bread sticks/goat cheese marinara app. Yummy. Very yummy. One complaint here is that to me, the bread sticks were a little underwhelming. I think they would benefit by being baked a bit longer (kinda doughy) and maybe having butter/garlic salt brushed on. Still, very good. And it's a large app, which is nice. We all ordered our own individual pizzas. I got the one with sausage, olives and bell pepper. Delish! Love the crust. Very chewy and yummy. Only complaint for the pizza was it was kinda lacking sauce. Our service was just OK. A bit slow and not super friendly, but not bad by any means. Little pricey but again, not bad. I will for sure be back.

    They served everyone in my party water except for me. Then when they refilled everyone's water they skipped me again. I asked for a Diet Pepsi 3 or 4 times and they never brought me that either. Rude and it is difficult to eat pizza with a dry mouth.

    Love homeslice! The breadsticks with the goat cheese is amazing, and the pizzas are tasty. And the salads are good! really, you can't go wrong! I go there often, and today I had a bad experience with delivery. I called Homeslice to discuss, as I believe in talking with the restaurant first before making a bad yelp post. The manager, Amanda, was SO nice, and So apologetic and made the whole experience great, so I give them 5 stars for customer service!! Thank you Amanda!

    OH MY PIZZA... I love this place! There indoor space and patio are both fun and unique. Its quite an inviting atmosphere with family/ community style seating in different areas. At night it feels like your crashing someones crazy backyard party. I like! We loved their pizza as well! I was in heaven with the fluffy light, but crisp, crust dipped in there house marinara sauce. I ordered the Very Gary and even without the cheese it was good. I have also tired the Natelicous and loved it. The feta adds the perfect zip of salty creaminess. And you will be a happy camper with their great drink, beer and wine options. We ordered the Jalapeno Poppers and they were the only thing that was disappointing. I don't know how but they were awkwardly bland. I understand that jalapenos vary in spice quite a bit which is why you have to have a great filling. Their filling was bland... not acceptable man!

    Went for brunch on a nice, sunny Saturday. Patio is nice but super loud with the train passing by every few minutes. Food was definitely good. Now for the missing stars- when my server spilled my mimosa all over my boyfriend, myself and my purse I did not freak out or scream. I calmly asked for some napkins that took several sticky minutes to bring over. Imagine my surprise when same said mimosa was on my bill when it came at the end of the meal. I'm confident that a eye rolling freak out would have resulted in a comped drink. I'll know better in the future.

    I wanted to love Homeslice but I just didn't. I had dinner there with my friend last night and it was pretty crowded but the 30 minute wait they told us we'd have turned out to be less than 10 so I was pretty happy with that. We ended up on a table out front and our waitress was great. She came by a lot considering she only had 2-3 tables out front and was really accommodating when we asked to make substations to their pizzas. We ended up ordering two smalls, Schira Palin (subbing caramelized onions and bacon for mushrooms and chicken) and the Funky McChicken (sans onions). Both pizzas were good but not great. We definitely wished we would've tried at least one with a marinara base. I'm also a HUGE garlic fan but the garlic on their pizza was weird: mushy and not very flavorful at all. All in all my experience at at Homeslice was pleasant but it was not "great" and I am not sure if I'd make the trip back any time soon.

    I came here for a friend's birthday, not totally sure what to expect, but went away very pleased. Nice setup inside and out. They seated our group of 12 in the biggest area they could outside. It happened to be a warm evening and the sun was beating on our heads, so they rolled out some patio umbrellas to put up at the tables on both sides of our seating area, and what a difference and relief! We appreciated their thoughtfulness. Our server was attentive, though not overbearing. The bar drinks were delivered in a timely manner after they were ordered. We all thought the pizza was excellent. My husband and I shared the BMZ. I don't mind thin-crust pizza, the only thing about this was that the slice was a bit floppy, and I had a hard time managing it in my rocking chair (yep, they have rocking chairs) while balancing my plate in my lap and leaning over my pregnant belly to eat. Honestly, though, that's something that can be overcome. Nice little discovery for us. And bonus, it's less than a 1/2 mile from Annette's! ;)

    Great pizza place that is not your typical Chicago pizza. I know people who are not from Chicago either love or hate deep dish, but this place is definitely good for everyone. The ambiance is real trendy and it is not overwhelming with tv's. The pizza is awesome and they have a great selection of apps. I thought the Smoke Show pizza was great and my friends all enjoyed their 10 inch za's as well. Beer is cold (and a great list) and because its so cold they give you a Homeslice koozie which is pretty tight. I have not been to their outdoor patio but I've heard its a solid spot that is unfortunately too close to the el. I've also ordered for delivery and for a Friday night it came extremely fast. I'll definitely be back soon

    The food was really good. We had the mozzarella sticks and then I got a pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms. We were surprised at the end with two cookie dough bites with the check that were really good! Our server, Laura was great. Very nice and friendly. She visited our table just enough, right when we needed her but not too frequent. Overall leaving very satisfied!

    This place is a great hang out spot from top to bottom. The indoor and outdoor areas are decorated really well and their food is amazing. They have about 30 different types of pizza and some great salads. My favorite pizza is the Mac Daddy, would definitely recommend this spot.

    Place is awesome. Great food, cool pizzas you won't find anywhere else, great atmosphere and log cabin-y on the inside. I loved everything about it. We were with 2 people who are gluten free and their pizzas may have even been better than mine. My buddy said it was the best gluten free pizza he ever had by far. Our waiter was also the man. They originally got our order wrong. He was sincerely apologetic and brought us the right pizzas, gave them for free along with the 2 others that were the wrong order, then brought shots over for us. The 2 gluten free people couldn't take the whiskey shots so he then came back with 2 more vodka shots. What a guy. I forget his name but he had long reddish hair in a pony tail. Guy was the man. If this place existed in Boston I would go all the time. Even with the order mixup, 5 stars for sure.

    This place is as good as it gets whether you're looking to relax and grab dinner, enjoy nice weather with some drinks and brunch or grab a couple beers before you head out for the night. The atmosphere, both inside and out, is amazing and extremely unique. If you're going to catch a game you can find space inside or if you want to take advantage of the weather you should definitely check out the amazing back patio. The menu has tons of variety with the pizza choices (mercenary is a must have) and appetizers. In a city that prides itself on its pizza, Homeslice has found a way to carve out their own style AND have awesome food. Of all the time times I've been there I've never had issues with the staff, patrons, etc. This is just a cool place to be with your friends if you want to have a good time and enjoy some great food.

    Very good pizza, cool atmosphere, and great outdoor seating. I won't call it 5 stars because it's not the best pizza I have ever had, but it was still a damn good pie. One thing I would improve on is their draft beers as it is very ho-hum. In this day and age of craft beers being king you can't have a pizza place with your most exotic beer being Magic Hat or Goose Island. Seems like it should be obvious they should have cool beers to go along with pizza. 137/365

    *warning* This is a gonna be a review about how awesome Homeslice is! So I originally planned on having my birthday dinner for 9 people at Revolution Brewery on a Saturday night. However, Revolution was CRAZY packed and just not worth the 3 hour wait. Thanks to my friend and fellow yelper (Genie), she suggested Homeslice. Homeslice, thank you so much for saving my birthday dinner. When I got there, I was greeted warmly, the hostess took my number down and got a text promptly that I was on a waitlist. While the restaurant was full, it wasn't impossible to get through the bar and order a drink. The bartender was fast and had great customer service. After only waiting 20 mins I got a text that a table was ready for us, we got seated in the back where that cool metal RV cut out is. I loved that despite the fact our whole party was still not there yet, they seated us. Our server was attentive, our pizzas were amazing and a special shout out to the breadsticks with goat cheese dipping! There is a great variety of pizzas for everyone- meat options and a ton of veggie pizzas as well as gluten free and vegan crusts. tl;dr: Great for groups, tons of variety, and a very cozy atmosphere. Come here, you won't be disappointed.

    As an Oregon alumni and fan, I most certainly should support their bar here in Chicago! I laughed with a lot of other Oregon fans and alumni during the big BCS game this year: this place felt like it was straight out of Portland! With it's log cabin wall, bar made out of woodpiles, and waiters decked out in flannel and Ducks gear. The pizza was delicious, bar non. The crust was perfect, the spinach-sauce with mine was fabulous, and the amount of veggies and sun-dried tomatoes was perfect. My only complaint was that there could have been more 'daring' options, as most pizzas seemed to be a combination of the same items, over and over. The bar could have had a bigger option of draft ales, and could have ventured further out of the safe Chicago traditional beers (312 and Green Line, I'm looking at you). The only Oregon beer on tap was Widmer! No Deschutes or Rogue or any of the other magnificent breweries the state is famous for. This would have been great to have, especially during Ducks games. Also, the waitress attempted to seat us out in the cold back space, while there were open tables next to the TVs. What the heck? Luckily when we explained the situation to another waitress, we got seated inside. Where there was heat. Finally, why did it need to be located next to the OSU bar, why God why.

    Let me just start by saying, the homies at homeslice hooked it up! When we arrived we were quickly seated and attended to. A member of our group needed a phone charger and they provided a charging block (so dope)! We began with the breadsticks and goat cheese dip. I'm a huge goat cheese fan, and thought the goat cheese flavor was kind of subtle. But everyone else at the table felt it was very goat cheesy. Our original group of 5 ordered and split 4 small pizzas (FYI it is four slices for a small; six for a medium; 8 for a large). It ended up being a good amount and we had a bunch of left overs! We ordered the Knife and Forkner, BMZ, Meet Mary, and the Funky McChicken. They were ALL delicious and tasted super fresh. My favorite was probably the Knife and Forkner! The BBQ sauce set it above the other pizzas. When I come back, I will FO SHO be ordering that again. We didn't stick around for dessert because the options sounded kind of generic. But we were also SO full! My favorite part about this place is the overall vibe and the great service! The bathroom design was pretty cool. The general ambiance of the eating space is a blend of rustic and urban. I forgot to check out the patio, but when I come back I'd love to eat out there. Lastly, the homies at homeslice were super friendly. We were originally going to order 4 medium pizzas (instead of smalls) and she was honest with us and said the smalls would probably be enough. We appreciated the honesty, homies! Cant wait to return! =)

    We've rode by on the Brown Line several times and have been wanting to try their outside patio. We stopped by a few weeks ago, and while we were quoted about 30 minutes for an outside seat, it only took about 10. While waiting for our table, we stopped at the bar, and since I'm more of a "fruity" cocktail fan, I asked for some advice from the bartender. She was the only drawback of Homeslice. She could not have been less helpful or friendly. She suggested one and then literally turned her back on me and finished re-arranging some clean glasses. We tried the Vodka Radler, and Ginger Sour and neither were that good, so those were the only drinks we had for the evening. We opted not to invest more money in a less than ideal bartender. The outside (in back) is beautiful (they also have seating in the front but definitely not the same ambiance as the back). Some are booths and some are picnic tables, but there are dividers between your side and the group next to you. It's definitely a "young" crowd place - being so close to Depaul. I can see this place getting pretty loud late at night. My husband and I each started with the Mixed Greens salad - which was very good and larger than I would have expected. Certainly not a small side salad. We would have loved to have tried the breadsticks, but there was like 10 per order - way too many for two people. We then got the Smoke Show medium pizza, and it was delicious. The crust made the pizza - nice and airy and great ingredients. Overall - great food and atmosphere and we will be back.

    Homeslice takes the wheel for an all around kickass local hangout/bar/restaurant. It's more than just a pizza joint. The drinks are bomb [seasonal Moscow Mules and the Bloody Mary's are their signatures]. All of the food is super tasty and they're always experimenting with new menu items and seasonal treats. I say start with the mozzarella breadsticks or a Sheffield Salad and move on to the 'za of your choice-my pick is the Bennett's Beauty [truly a beauty]. Oh and please get your pizza with a side of ranch sauce-it's life changing. Go there for good eats, good drinks and good vibes. The food, awesome and ever-changing patio, throwback 90's rap playlist and the friendly owners, managers and staff are enough to keep regulars happy and newbies coming back for more. Seriously though, stop reading yelp and go get some homie.

    My girlfriend suffers from celiac's disease so I have had my fair share of cardboard flavored gluten free pizzas. Homeslice's GF pizza is hands down THE BEST gluten free pie I have tasted. While i love a thin crust, this pizza actually had some body to it and if I hadn't known any better I would never guess it was gluten free. I will absolutely be back.

  • Jess P.

    Amazing place/decor. Hot and model-like staff. Boring, greasy pizza. Not sure how a boring pizza can have so many random ingredients on it, but they found a way. Best thing they have is the breadsticks and that gets a star on its own. Decent prices, but you might as well go somewhere else to get better tasting pizza. Side note about staff, sometimes they really try to rush you out of there. I still had food in my mouth and this guy took my pizza and brought it back in a box. Whatever. Really deserves one star honestly.

    Hands down best Gluten Free pizza I have ever had. And I've driven the country and tried many, many places. GF crust is $3 extra but you cannot tell the difference at all. They can even make their amazing goat cheese and bread sticks gluten free! I promise you, you will not leave here hungry. I recommend the kern-holio. They also have great ciders on tap! I love to come here and sit outside on the patio when we can. It gets crazy busy on the weekends and they dont take reservations so come early.

    Homeslice delivers the best non-deep dish style pizza in the city. My fiancé and I happened in here on a weekday afternoon a while back, which was nice and quiet, but have since been back several times for dinner. Their pizza menu options are a little untraditional, but they have all the usual ingredients on hand, so you can build your own as well. Party Boi, Bennett's Beauty, and Meet Mary are my personal favorites...I love me some meat on my zza. I've tried a couple of the chicken pizzas as well (the Schira Palin and Funky McChicken), but wasn't wow'ed by them. I should add I'm not crazy about non-marinara pizzas; but the fiancé also echoed that the Schira wasn't very good last evening. I love that their pizza toppings seem fresh and there never seems to be too much sauce or cheese drowning the pizza pies! Also, as for sizing, the small pizza is kind of an oversized personal pan, whereas 2 mediums could serve 3-4. As a starter, I love the Mixed Greens salad; it's simple enough to start things out and the dressing has great flavor. The bread sticks have looked tasty on nearby table as well, though I have yet to try them. They drink menu is pretty good and fairly unique; lots of different beer options, and my favorite instead- Angry Orchard Cider. As for atmosphere, the decor is pretty nice. It has kind of an upscale rustic/log cabin feel to it. My only complaint is that some nights it can feel a little too much like the bars next door...loud and cramped. Other times it's been fine. If there's a big game on, you can expect a crowd. And for Fri-Sat nights, there will be a long wait even for small parties.

    I only ordered the pizza for take out but I was able to take a look at the inside. The place looks like a great hang out spot for a group if you're able to get a seat. I remember low lighting and the place looked very welcoming. They have a cool system where if there is a line and you're waiting to be seated, they'll send out a text in case the wait is longer than normal. I forgot what pizza we ordered, but I was slightly disappointed based on all the reviews. They have exotic toppings but the pizza itself was very thin and felt cheaply made. I'd want a manly slice that holds the slice straight (this ain't NY!), so I guess I had different expectations. I feel like because the dough was very thin that they sort of skimped out on the cheese/toppings as well. I don't believe its worth the price we paid, but its a good place to try a different slice, because why not?

    The place is super cute and log cabiney. I really wish we came in the summer and could sit outside. The patio looks great! The food on the other hand didn't blow me away. It all looked good on the menu but wasn't that amazing. We got the breadsticks and goat cheese which was fine. The McChicken Pizza was the best but everything else didn't really do it for me. When I walked to the bathroom (which is covered in pennies!!) I was some people with really tasty looking salads. Which surprises me because I am not a salad gal. The dessert options were also disappointingly boring. The service was good and it's a cool ambiance so worth checking out but I probably won't be back.

    It's pizza served in log cabin-like digs in the Lincoln Park neighborhood... I feel like hiding somewhere in here is a really great Lincoln Logs/Lincoln Park/Abe Lincoln joke, but I haven't found it yet. Patent pending. Hold tight. Anyway, Danny W and I don't agree on a whole lot, but I have to give it up to homeboy for knowing how to pick a damn good lunch spot. I mean, it's no Medieval Times like a certain other (#1) coworker chose for her super special suburban lunch day, but Homeslice ain't a bad runner-up. Though pizza is never really my top choice for fare, I will make exceptions for situations that involve my having the apartment to myself (+ cats) and I can order an absolutely egregious amount of pizza (like, whatever the size is that they normally suggest for 6-8 people) and sit on my couch all hunched over the box like a greedy gremlin going for a guilty pleasure -- but any conditions other than that and I have to be honest and say that pizza just doesn't excite me. ... or at least that's how I thought I felt about the 'za before I knew what it was like to eat it in hip, Lincoln Park, log cabin-like digs that serves up some seriously delish pie. Our group consisted of 5 adults and 2 babies and each ordered our own personal pies or calzone sandwiches (okay, to be fair, the babies just had formula) and before I even get into the taste, I want to bring up one of the most exciting items of the day -- the price! For the 5 adult meals and a non-alkie beverage, the bill was $57 including tax and we all left with enough leftovers to get a full second meal out of it. Such a steal and real reason to ring the bell for a cheap skate like myself. As far as eats are concerned, I went with their smallest size pie (again, this was enough for two meals) in the Hughes Delight veggie combo of broccoli, romas, green peppers, roasted garlic, kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, portabella mushrooms, feta, mozzarella, provolone and marinara. It was fresh and the cheese wasn't the plastic-y type stuff, this was cheese was the real deal. Some high-quality azz shizz. It wasn't even close to the kind of pizza you have to eat like a greedy, guilt-ridden gremlin. In fact, I actually felt pretty good after bagging a bite here. Love it. Can't wait to come back and try some of their cocktails. Hoping a little alcohol will jog my joke repertoire so I can update this review with a worthy Lincoln Logs/Lincoln Park/Abe Lincoln + Pizza joke.

    I think I get the same exact thing every time: the sesame soy salad salad with chicken. A delicious asian salad. The dressing is a little sweet, so I might get it on the side next time. Usually when I go, there is little to no wait. The outdoor seating in the back patio is so relaxing in the summer! The gutted silver bullet trailer is pretty cool and I like all the lights. Good selection of wines and beer. Bathroom is cool with the pennies. Maybe some live music and this place would be even more amazing! Oh yeah, pizza. It's great too. I like how they put substantial meat on the pizza, like real chicken strips. It's not overly greasy nor tastes processed. All the cheese and sauce tastes fresh. They also do Spring Rewards, which is nice. You just pay with the same CC and your points rack up. The lunch pizza special is also nice. I'm sure none of this is making sense, but it's a fun bar! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

    My favorite pizza place in Chicago! The servers, bartenders and hostesses are all awesome here. The food is perfect every time. The ambiance is very comfortable and cozy. You can tell the owners take pride in delivering a quality product.

    Holy pizza heaven! My first encounter with Homeslice was way back in 2012, and I can't remember much besides over eating. I've been raving and craving ever since, so I was delighted when I had the chance to make it back. So yeah.. pizza! The pizzas are doughy and loaded with all sorts of toppings, think personal pan style. They have anything you could ever want on a pizza so when no one wants to share the pizza with you because you like broccoli and chicken on it, get a single serving size! Who knew, a smaller sized pizza could be so great! Highly recommend the breadsticks if you are super hungry or just don't feel like waiting for the za'. So light and fluffy, and the most delicious goat cheese/marinara sauce. I know there's a ton of pizza in Chicago, I think Homeslice has carved out a little nook, where the pizza isn't deep dish, it isn't thin crust, it's not super artisan, it's just damn good regular pizza. One note: you might need to ask which pizza's have red sauce, it isn't 100% clear, though everything still works out in the flavor department. Cocktails are twists on the classic, my Bourbon Sour was refreshing on a breezy night.. ok fine, I got 2. As for the space, it's like 'cabin meets carnival. Ton's of wood, a bit kitschy, dim lighting, loud music, and a killer outdoor patio with a gutted Airstream to tie it all together. Service is great and the staff is way friendly. Overall, a great time, and I hope to be back sooner.

    My boyfriend and I were visiting from out of town and thought pizza sounded like a great hangover cure. The service was great. We were immediately sat and enjoyed their great patio. Our server gave us the perfect amount of attention - our waters were never empty and he kept our table pre-bused so there was plenty of room for us to eat. My bf has celiac disease (over 10 years now!) and he said the bread sticks were some of the best he's ever had. Great service, awesome patio, the food and drinks were good and seeing Gary the dog sunbathing and just chilling really made our day.

    Never expected to find a pizza place that catered to the gluten-free, lactose-intolerant, and otherwise very picky. Well done! Several people in our group thought this was some of the best pizza they'd had. I was less impressed - I thought one flavor often overwhelmed every other ingredient in the pizza. The calzones were apparently to die for - that's what I'll be trying on my next visit.

  • Mykie H.

    Five stars does not seem to do this place justice. I would put pizza as one of my top three favorite foods, but I'm extremely picky about the crust. Homeslice nailed the perfect combination of satisfying dough, and a crunchy crust that isn't just a result of being burnt. The combination of toppings is incredibly unique and perfectly curated (did I seriously just use the word "curated" in a Yelp review for a pizza joint??). The patio was loud and fun, the inside was more intimate and cozy, both riddled with TVs covering whatever game you've got your eye on. Since I can remember, Imo's Pizza in St. Louis has been my #1 without battle. Homeslice may finally change that, but I guess I'll need to go back once [or seven times] more. Can it just be a tie?

    Joined the other quacker-backers here for the UO-Michigan State game this fall - place was packed and rowdy. We sat out back and aside from the train going directly overhead every 8 minutes it was great ;). Service was excellent, prompt and thorough, especially given the crazy scene. Beer list was compact but well balanced. Pizza seemed solid - I stuck with the salad which was a cut above standard pub fare. A fun joint to hit up for a duck's game!

    I've been here a couple times and I've never had any big complaints. The food is good, especially the pizza, and the place is wicked cool inside! I've met the owner who is extremely nice and you can tell he has pride for his establishment. The only thing is that the menu is a little obscure and I often get lost in trying to follow it & find what I want, I think if they reorganized and renamed some things it may be easier. Lastly, my last time here my water glass sat empty for way too long (a HUGE pet peeve of mine). Other than that the food is great and I love the decor most of all!

    I want to say that I have been in contact with Homeslice after my last experience. They not only offered to compensate us for the poor experience that we had and were willing to pay for any damages to my wife's clothing. That does go a long way in my book and think that it is worth giving them another chance.

  • mista w.

    I've never had a pizza here I didn't like. I get carry out and it's still awesome by the time I get home... eat the leftovers the next day at work. Don't get me wrong I would love to hang out in that Airstream out back... But I ain't got time for that. Inside is cool too and damn those bloodies are nice! I've tried most of their meticulously crafted pizzas and never been disappointed.

  • Sarah Y.

    Homeslice is a summer-time paradise! It has a great decor, plenty of dog-friendly sidewalk tables and a great patio with lots of light and shade. The beers on tap are $6, and features some local favorites. There is a cider on tap that is crisp, tart, and refreshing. We tried a vegetarian and chicken pizza on the night that we went, and both tasted fresh and seasonal, although lacking a bit in tangy tomato-y, cheesy, greasy flavors that I love. While the server said this is thin crust pizza, I would have to disagree...the dough itself is very nice and pillowy, but certainly not thin crust. Two small pizzas is more than enough for two people, and provides a bit of pizza variety.

  • Lindsay B.

    The goat cheese appetizer was to die for! I've been dreaming of it since I left and can't wait to go back to order it. I also like the log cabin decor, it makes for a cozy atmosphere. The indie pop music was cool too. The waitress could have been friendlier and more attentive- the staff (busboys, etc.) was great though. Maybe we'll get someone friendlier next time. Overall, I highly recommend!

  • Victoria G.

    Pizza was good and their sauces are really good. Never had to choose pizza based on a sauce. Breadsticks were not that great. They came together with the pizza (not as an early appetizer as we hoped) and were a little bit undercooked and did not go well with the pizza. The place was packed and even though they tried to serve everyone as fast as possible, you could feel lack of service which was affected by speed (for example, dirty chairs and tables etc). Overall, it was a good experience and place has nice interior. Passing Red Line train ads its charm with its fast whistling sound.

  • Nida K.

    Love the atmosphere of this place! Great service from a friendly staff. The wait for a table of 10 people wasn't very a long for a Saturday night. We lounged by the bar until our name was called. I'm honestly not much of an unconventional pizza person. I just like the ordinary cheese pizza with jalapenos or onions on top. That's about it. A margherita pizza is the craziest I'll go. If you're like me, you might not be a fan of their selection. Their pizzas all have crazy toppings. I got the Funky McChicken and I didn't like it too much. However, I'd be willing to give their other pizzas a chance, or you also have the option to create your own. Their appetizers are AMAZING. Their goat cheese+marinara sauce was DELICIOUS and I'm pretty sure my table finished them in about 5 minutes. I want some right now.

    When we moved to Chicago from NJ we were concerned that all we'd be able to find was deep dish pizza. Turns out there are some really great thin crust, wood fired options here in Chicago. Who knew!? Homeslice has become our go-to place in Lincoln park when we want great pizzas, with interesting ingredients, a nice selection of beers on tap and friendly service. The salads ain't bad either, my personal favorite being "The L.P. Trixie.: No "Chad Salad" however. Bummer. Options range from meat lover to more tradition pies to veggie friendly and everything in between. interesting ingredients like corn kernels, chicken, pepperoncini and a host of other goodies await you. There are 3 sizes of pizzas. if you combine the medium pizza with a salad, that should be a nice lunch or dinner for two average eaters. If you come hungry, go large as it's so good, you'll probably finish it anyway... Interestingly enough, Homeslice I feel is a bit on the pricey side. But it's definitely worth it. Oh and bonus tip - if you're looking for a crazy Bloody Mary, come here on weekends. They serve their with the usual garnishes but also a slice of cold Hawaiin pizza and a Miller hand-grenade on the side. Nice! Place can get kinda busy with all the students around so go for lunch or go early to get a table. Any time after 6 and it seems you're dead in the water.

    Love this place!! I recently drove by it and immediately put it at the top of my 'must do in Chicago' summer bucket list. The initial draw of this place is the big open windows, huge patio seating, and endless outdoor dining areas. It is the perfect place to celebrate summer on a warm night! Hubby and I came here around 6:30 on a Saturday night. We wanted to sit in the back beer garden area, and we waited about 30 minutes for our table. The hosts will take down your phone number and text you when your table is ready. While we waited, we went to the bar and took a look at their impressive cocktail list. Originally, I had planned on having a glass of wine, but I was immediately won over by their cocktails. I'm not a big cocktail person normally, but these were interesting, creative, and beautiful!! We had the bourbon sangria and the Vodka Rattler. Both were amazing. Once our table was ready, we ordered appetizers and other round of drinks. I switched to the gin-let, which is now my new favorite drink...ahh-mazing. We were hungry, so we split the goat cheese and marinara with breadsticks, and the jalapeno homies. Both were great- so flavorful and delicious. For our pizzas, we had the Big Teve and the Special K. Both were excellent as well, and we had enough for leftovers. Overall, homeslice is an amazing experience from start to finish. The only word of caution I have is, be prepared for service to be a little slow. We didn't care about the service since we were having a leisurely dinner, but be mindful that drinks, food, etc do take a minute to come out. It's worth it though!

    It's a Saturday for a party of 10 and belated birthday bash at 11:30pm. Homeslice has the full bar as well as space for dine in even at such a late hour. Despite not having a reservation, we arrived and were seated in less than a minute. Our party had two pitchers of beer, a plate of jalapeno hotties, two orders of mozzarella sticks, and five small pizzas to share. The amount for 10 was more than enough as we had a whole plate of mozzarella sticks and a small pizza left untouched. We had the Boyler Room, Knife & Forkner, Clay Bacon, Funky McChicken, and Special K. They were very tasty and my favorites are the Knife & Forkner and Special K. For future references, I wouldn't order so many different kinds because I soon lost track of which was which. Although our party had more than six people, a tip was not automatically charged to the bill. We were not compelled to tip so out of courtesy, we tipped 20% instead. Side note: While my friend and I sat at the big table waiting for our friends, a waitress brought out a tray of complimentary s'mores to pass around. Gooey and yummy!

    I came here on a Thursday night. It was very packed mostly college kids from DePaul. The service was great my waitress came and checked on us pretty regularly even though the place was packed. The drinks are priced about mid range. I ordered pizza and it was not the best but it wasn't bad either. Overall a good place to come get a beer and a pizza to share with your buddies.

    Great atmosphere we went outside to the back area to grab a late lunch. I ordered mozzarella sticks they said baked I was surprised I received actually bread sticks with mozzarella I thought I ordered mozzarella sticks ! They were really good, I also tried the pizza which was very fresh. the frozen rice crispy dessert was just average though I would skip the dessert section.

    This is an amazing place! I travel a lot for work and am always looking for a good pizza wherever I go. I currently live in St. Louis where the pizza is awful, cardboard-ish, and is covered in provel cheese. YUCK! Anywho had lunch at Homeslice today and it was incredible. We had the hummus as an app, I had the sesame salad and a slice of there daily special pizza. Perfect amount of food for lunch. The decor too is super cute. We sat inside but next time I would love to sit out on their back patio.

  • Clare K.

    One of my neighborhood favorites. Pros- Overall great food and atmosphere. Very cool back patio- If you're lucky you can sit in the trailer out back. Unlike other pizza places, a small really does serve 1 person, so everyone in the group can order what they like. Cons- They don't take reservations and is usually super crowded on the weekends. I wasn't blown away by the staff at the bar.... standing around talking, checking cell phones while frustrated customers were waiting to order. Recomendations - Bread Sticks & Goat Cheese, Mozzarella Bread Sticks, Hungarian Mushroom Soup, The Mr. Sanchez pizza, Clay Bacon pizza, and a Moscow Mule

    Calzone has lettuce in it and Canadian bacon is apparently the same as ham. Not in the same ballpark as Lou's, Giordanos, or Gino's. Service was slow. Ambience and vibe was ok and solid LP location but the pizza, calzone, hummus, bread with goat cheese was all really bad, poor flavor profile, sloppy presentation with 2 massive garlic pieces in the middle of a plate. Will not be returning and very disappointed

    Absolutely loved this place! Really chill atmosphere. The decor is pretty cool and the drinks are really good as well. Unfortunately I didn't try the pizza but definitely going back to try it. The ginger sour and the sparkling Gerry cocktails were my favorite! The bartenders were friendly and recommended us to try new drinks. They also have a patio in the back which is covered in the winter and open in the summer time! Everything was very lovely!

    Pizza is epic. Scene is ridiculously awesome. And the bartender Helmar may be the best bartender in the entire city of Chicago. Worth it to order your drinks at the bar just so you can floss with that guy. Also, don't sleep on the breadsticks.

    We went on a Sunday to watch the Bears game and we were pleasantly surprised at how quickly they sat us. We weren't sure if all of our friends were going to make it and they still gave us a large booth with an extra chair. I like places that don't make you wait until your entire party is there. The pizza was great--we had the Party Boi and Mr. Sanchez. I'm a sucker for salad on a pizza. It took a really long time to get drinks, rarely were our waters filled, and they forgot to bring over a side of ranch we requested. Definitely a less douchy crowd than I expected.

    I like Homeslice a lot. The three primary reasons are the interesting decor, the yummy pizza and the very cute, large patio. Its pretty modern and woodsy inside and there is high top tables and low tops. Cool light fixtures go well with the wood paneling. The pizza isn't the BEST ever, but it is very good. And it tastes like its healthy. Not super greasy or overly cheesy which is nice since I feel like i just eat greasy carby foods all day long. The patio seating is in back and on the side of the restaurant and its all made of wood with large big bulb lighting.. I love patios like that on warm summer nights... such a good vibe! I think Homeslice is definitely worth a visit, especially in the warm months so you can get some patio action.

  • Susan G.

    Right off the bat, I was greeted by helpful hostesses and a smile! We were seated on one of the patios, and my friend joining me, heard there was another cool patio hidden behind the wall. Our server was so cool and showed us our way to check that out... Such a great vibe! Like a backyard with a cool big industrial lights sign that spells "chicago" and I felt like I was at a chill campsite with friends and completely comfortable. Service was great, food was great. The dough used for the breadsticks and the crust for the pizza is tasty, and so light and fluffy I could and would use it as a pillow if I had the option. Only i would eat it. This is one of those places where you could sit inside or outside and enjoy the feel regardless!

    I am lactose intolerant, so I have not had pizza for years. At Homeslice, though, they have pizza for every allergy, sensitivity, and taste. I ordered the Very Gary: marinara sauce, artichoke hearts, pepperoncini, roasted red peppers, and mushrooms. OH MY GOODNESS. I ate the whole small by myself, and I was stuffed. The atmosphere is so laid back, but with a total "cool" factor to it. I honestly cannot wait to try more. That's all I could think about while I was eating my delicious pizza as fast as I could!

  • Emma K.

    Came to Homeslice for a recent Girls Dinner and loved it. We had a 30 minute wait or so, but it was the night of Blackhawks game. Once seated, we did have to yell to each other to be able to hear, but it is probably different on non-game nights. The food was amazing. We got several different pizzas and shared, but the Zephy - portabella mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, mozzarella, provolone, spinach, and ricotta - was by far my favorite. I saw some salads and breadsticks come out for a table nearby, and they looked amazing. There were also a lot of good beers on tap to choose from. Our waitress was great and gave us a lot of good recommendations. I plan on bringing the BF back here soon - especially since I just found out they have brunch (which includes something called a breakfast calzone)!

  • M K.

    This restaurant has the best gluten free pizza crust I have ever had. Usually GF pizza crusts taste like flat cardboard, but not here! It's fluffy, flavorful and perfectly cooked. I had to ask the waiter if it was actually gluten free because it was so dang good. I ordered different pizzas both times I came here, one with meat and one without. The vegetarian one was better in my opinion. The staff are very friendly and even sped up an order because I was running late. The only con is that the gluten free pizzas only come in small and the restaurant can get a bit loud when its crowded with it being next to the el train. Overall, a very good restaurant! I'll be coming back!

  • Christina K.

    I really liked this restaurant. They had a large variety of pizza specialties, like vegetarian options and different meat combos. The beer menu was just okay. The service was quick, even on a packed Friday night. It was loud, but somehow everyone at my table could still hear eachother, and they played decent techno music.

    LOVE this pizza place. Went here on a Friday afternoon and the atmosphere was pretty great. I was slightly underwhelmed by the indoor decor because the back porch is absolutely gorgeous, but we overall had a great time. Ordered the meatball appetizer which was delicious and definitely worth the money. Next, we split the medium-sized Big Teve between 3 people -- everyone got a couple slices, so I think next time we'd spring for the larger size. Was also a little underwhelmed by the local beer selection, but the pizza more than makes up for it!

    I came here at about 11 am on a Sunday morning. When my party arrived, the place was not very crowded but that is because they had just opened. By about 12:30 this place was jam packed and there was a wait for a table. We got a cool booth in the outdoor/indoor heated area which was very comfortable for our group of about 10 people. I liked the Bloody Mary I got and the pizza's were fine, nothing particularly exceptional though. There were a few hiccups in the service as one pizzas came late and the waiter completely forgot to put in the order for another one of our pizza's. He was very apologetic and brought our group a round of shots on the house. Maybe this mistake happened because we were a larger group and I appreciate that the waiter was so apologetic, but it's still pretty unacceptable. They should have removed the pizza from the bill realistically. Otherwise, it was a pleasant experience, there was lots of parking available outside, and the pizza's were fine. I would go back again, but I won't be in a rush to do so.

  • Nicole K.

    Been here a bunch of times. Always delicious and always let me and my girlfriend talk nonstop as we ponder the menu debating what to order. Tonight the food was no different. Goat cheese breadsticks are phenomenal. Pizza delicious and drinks fabulous. Probably wondering why I am giving this review then? Service was awful. AWFUL. For an early dinner on a weeknight with no big games going on, I have never felt so rushed out of a restaurant in my life. I know some of the wait staff me and my friend know just from coming in for pizza every couple weeks for our catch up dates. Out waitress tonight, Nellie, was new and was beyond rude. She came up to us to start with an attitude. We ordered our usual drinks and almost ten minutes later they came and she apologized for the wait since they were training people...well my friends sangria came half full. She asked Nellie about it and she said that's just how it is. There's whiskey in there so it costs more. And apparently my drink has mostly soda and therefore I get a full glass. Even though we agreed we've never seen the glass so empty. So as we were eating she came back. Asked my friend if she wanted another drink and before she could answer, spits out 'no I'm sure you wouldn't want another one.' And walks off. Comes back another five minutes later and gave us our bill as we were still eating never asking if we wanted anything else. Then came back two minutes later and put our pizza in a box, again as we were still eating. I guess we've been cut off... So we put our cards in the holder and continued talking. She comes up and asked if she could run our cards we said yes and she walked away mumbling about how she didn't know she could take it since we laid the book flat. She came back for the final time not saying much, if anything, and dropped the bills and left. I love the restaurant and will go back. But me and my friend already agreed we will not let Nellie be our server. We need more than fifteen minutes from pizza until we're run from the table! Food is good as usual but they need to watch who they hire.

    Always happy when I go here. Anytime I want to enjoy some creative pizzas and good beer I find myself at homeslice. The atmosphere is casual yet cozy, the staff is always so welcoming and the food is awesome. They have a delicious extremely spicy pizza that is worth your eyes watering for it. Also, they give you these cute koozies when you order a canned beer. Not only is the décor great the food is too.

    This place literally smells fantastic when you walk by, so I knew it was a must try. We came here for a blackhawk's game and the place was pretty busy but we got a table right away. We did have to share a table with another couple, but it was a 6 person table so it wasn't bad. The atmosphere is great- very cozy and comfortable. They also have tons of different pizza options, so it's easy to find something to love. The only reason I gave this place 4 stars is because I wasn't crazy about the pizza we had. But we also got the breadsticks with the goat cheese dipping sauce, which we're pretty good. Surprisingly, they have a good selection of beers which is what we had, but I couldn't help but envy the moscow mule, served in a cute copper mug.

    Homeslice is a great addition to the neighborhood. The outdoor patio is amazing in the summer. Where else can you sit under the "L" tracks in an Airstream trailer?! My kids love the Knife and Forker, but I am partial to the Schira Palin. The perfect mix of ingredients. The Sheffield Salad is good as well. Just the right amount of chicken and mandarin oranges. Certainly big enough for a meal and not skimpy at all. The owners are very supportive of the area, and always a pleasure to work with. Can't go wrong eating here.

    I LOVE this place. It's the perfect neighborhood place where I feel comfortable grabbing a bite post-workout or having date-night dinner. I work nearby and the salads are my go-to for lunch carryout (The Sheffield makes me happy). As far as the pizza my favorites are the Special-K and the Miller White, but I have never had one that I didn't like. The outdoor patio is the best in the city, I had a group of girlfriends in the motor home/airstream for my birthday dinner last year and we are already planning to do it again!

    My friends and I noticed Homeslice a few weeks back but just recently got the chance to stop in for a Blackhawks game. It has such a cool vibe with a modern wood cabin feel. The decor alone is what finally got us to stop in, but we'll definitely be back after trying some of their awesome pizza! We got the Zephy, Strike a Posner, and some meat pizza. As the vegetarian of the group, I loved that they had such a great selection of amazing veggie pizzas! (From what I hear, the meat one was pretty good too.) The dough they use is amazing, so next time I'll probably get one of the breadstick appetizers. The beer list was also pretty solid. Definitely worth checking out! The only downside: the tables are set up almost cafeteria style and not all views have that great of views if you're trying to catch the game. State restaurant across the street is definitely you're better bet if you're trying to watch sports. Bonus: Free coozie with the purchase of a can or bottle!

    The atmosphere at Homeslice is second to none. From the hostesses to the barracks, everyone is pleasant to be around and as a result, your experience is enhanced. I also love the French Bulldog who hangs out, I think his name is Gary. I could drink beer and eat pizza there week after week.

    This place is amazing and a definite stop every time I am in Chicago. The food is fantastic. Try the breadsticks with goat cheese and marinara and the mercenary is my favorite as far as the pizza goes. I honestly haven't tried anything I didn't like. The place itself has a lot of character and the outside patio is awesome in the summer. Great place, great pizza!

    GREAT food but shoddy service. The atmosphere is cool and comfortable with a variety of seating and the food is wonderful (try the mozzarella breadsticks to bring back your childhood!) but you'll spend an eternity waiting for a refill or for the bill. I wanted to rate this place higher but after waiting 15 minutes for the check and another 10 for a drink refill, I just can't.

    Since I don't live in the city, it's very rare that I get to check out a newly opened restaurant in Chicago. With Homeslice, I got a chance to go last week and I am so happy that I did! What a wonderful place... it gives me a nostalgia feeling and what can be better than that?! Everything is 5 stars for me here... the service, the food, and even the way the bathrooms have been designed (pennies all over)! We came here around 5ish, so it wasn't too busy yet and we got to pick our own booth. Everything is made out of wood/logs, which is so different from any other restaurant I've been to. Just the interior alone is a must see for everyone. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and helpful. By helpful, I mean the menu is pretty extensive for a pizza place, so she def helped us narrow down a few choices. I wish I remembered her name.. Since it was a VERY cold day for April, we decided to both a get a bowl of the Hungarian Mushroom soup. OMG it was so good and so perfect for a chilly day.. it was a bit salty, but I like it that way. For the pizza... they have so many options. She explained the sizes, which vary in price for each pizza. The best option and it ends up being a couple dollars cheaper is to get individual sized pizzas. Not only do you get to try a couple different types, but you save money and get exactly what you want without having to share :-P I got the Zephy - portabella mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, mozzarella, and provolone. I highly recommend this... My boyfriend got the Mercernary pizza which was noted by our waitress as being one of the most popular items. He loved it as well. The pizza was super fresh and so much flavor. They also have a nice selection of beers, but we were too cold to even think about that. Next time... Anyway, this has instantly became one of my favorites and we WILL be back, hopefully sooner than later.

    I like that you can put down your name and they will text you when your table is ready. Also like that you can order a small pizza- pretty much individual size. A little loud indoors, will try to take advantage of the outdoor seating next time

  • Soniya S.

    So.. I was very excited for yummy pizza and had planned with another couple to go Homeslice. They had said an hour wait but were told our table was ready after 30min which of course was good since we were hungry! Great selection of pizzas- we ordered 4 pizzas from the meatless section so sampled a good variety. The atmosphere is great and especially loved the outdoor seating. BUT, did not think the pizza was all that great. It just lacked something... We thought maybe it needed more sauce because it didn't appear that any of the pizzas had any. Maybe the meat pizzas are better and definitely loved the place but it wasn't the pizza we were hoping...

    I really gotta give it to Homeslice for being a great addition to the neighborhood. After reading reviews of not having the best service, I have to admit I was a bit weary. However, I decided to try it out for myself, and I am so glad I did. My best friend and I went here for dinner last night. The weather was really nice last night, so we decided to sit on the patio. It's probably one of the best patios in the city! It's welcoming, big, and nicely decorated. It became cooler as the evening progressed, so the staff immediately put out heaters. My friend and I shared our entire dinner. We ordered the Breadsticks with Goat Cheese (YUM), the Mixed Greens Salad (YUMM), and a small Big Teve Pizza YUMMM)--starting to notice a trend here? Everything was fresh, delicious, and modestly priced. I would highly recommend all three. We even had enough for leftovers! We ended up chatting for a while because the restaurant didn't seem too busy, and the staff didn't rush us at all. It's hard to find that these days. Our service was pretty much stellar, with a slight exception to our server forgetting to bring out our drinks. I ended up having to ask another server to bring them. Our server later realized that he had forgotten, and was very apologetic. No major harm done. Another thing to remember is that if you sit on the patio, the train is right overhead, so it's a little hard to have a conversation out there. Although, we did seem to get accustomed to it, so again, not a big deal. If you're in the mood for a cool pizza spot, definitely check out Homeslice!

    Obsessed with Homeslice! From the atmosphere, to the food, to the people. Everyone who works here is so nice and will do anything to ensure you have a good time. I come here pretty much weekly and I've never had anything but an awesome experience. :)

    Good beers, but pizza is just alright. This is a nice place to watch sports games, because there are a lot of large TVs. I came here after my class at DePaul, which was convenient. I came late to meet up with friends, so by the time I got here the pizza was cold. It was a pretty plain pizza, because there wasn't any sauce...? There were a lot of veggies and some chicken, but it was dry and kind of bland. We ordered a couple pitchers of beers and those were much better than the pizza. The glasses were interestingly shaped, but cute. I'd come back, if not for the food, but for the drinks!

  • Julie N.

    We went here in July. Nice venue for summer months. We found the service a little odd. The wait staff were a little unprofessional as they were playing jokes on each other by sending some poor new lady to serve us after we had already ordered. She looked very embarrassed and apologized as this wasn't the first time they had done this to her. I loved the bar lady, who definitely knew how to make a good cocktail. The food was good but I can't say I haven't had better pizza elsewhere. We had the bacon pizza. It was tasty and the only negative I can say is it was slightly sweet. My son ordered the carrot cake for dessert and this was so dry it ended up in the trash. It had to be bad if my son threw it out . He loves cake. Maybe it was an old batch.

    My group visiting from out of town didn't have a terrific experience at Homeslice. It's a real shame too, because there were some aspects of the place I really liked, but other areas fell very flat. First, i'll say what I did like. They have a very fun setup. There's multiple patio areas, and in the area off the street, they have a lounge and a few cool looking pieces of decor, like the wooden VW Bus that a couple of tables are in. I picked out a pretty yummy margarita-esque cocktail that included pomegranate and jalepeno. The chips/salsa starter we got was solid, and the pizza was decent as well. Also, the menu was vast, and had a lot of options, even for meatless people. Now with that said, these good aspects were marred by a few annoyances. - Even though I just said the menu is vast, it really isn't as extensive as it looks. Even though there were 11 meatless pizzas, they all shared a lot of ingredients with one another. The difference between some of these was simply a couple toppings or the type of sauce, so it's a bit deceptive. - I also said above that the pizza is decent, but it's not great. And considering that the prices for pies are not cheap (Typically they ranged from 28-32 for a large), I was holding higher expectations. It just felt like I was paying 1.5x as much for the quality and quantity of what I received. - This is minor, but one pizza we ordered was the cheese-less pizza, but it had some spackles of cheese on it. One person in our group was vegan, so they didn't particularly appreciate that. That pizza in particular was also really messy, as the toppings kept falling all over the place. I wouldn't recommend that pizza to others. - Probably what stuck out the most was the quality of our service. It started out fine, and we got all of our food/drinks promptly, but once we got the pizza, the service took a big dive. After we finished eating, it took the server a bit over 10 minutes to come and ask us if we wanted the check, and then another 10+ to come give the check to us, and then about 10 minutes after that, we couldn't wait any longer, and found her and gave her the check. Considering that we were in a hurry to get somewhere, it was very stressful. I could tell that our server seemed flustered dealing with another group of patrons, so hopefully experiences like this are just an anomaly here. Overall, I wasn't terribly impressed with Homeslice, but i've had much worse dining experiences. I'm teetering between a 2 and 3, but am going with a 2 due to how absurd/annoying the check situation in the end turned out to be.

    I feel like such a pizza snob. I came to Homeslice with a group of about 8 people and we ordered two pizzas to share. Everyone else thought the pizzas here were delicious while I thought they were boring. I don't remember exactly which pizzas were ordered but one had sausage/pepperoni and the other was vegetarian. I like the fact that the crust wasn't soggy from all the toppings but the pizza didn't really have much flavor.

    Homeslice offers Lincoln Park - after a long wait - a trendy pizza place with a bar. The decor is on point and the staff is a good time. If anything, you'll have fun and take some good Snapchats to send to your friends who stayed in to study. I'll start with the downsides: the menu is overly saturated with a lot of options, and the prices are a little higher than you'd like. I'm not saying they're ridiculous, or that their predetermined pizza combo's are awful. I'm just saying both could use a little refinement. The pizza is not the most amazing pie I've ever sampled, but it also didn't disappoint. My final complaint is that the men's bathroom - I can't comment on the women's as I have never visited - is hotter than hell. Perhaps the pizza ovens are located adjacent to its wall and the heat flows in? All I know is that I felt as though I was getting cooked while I stared down at the penny floor. Yes, the floor was completely constructed of pennies. Surprised they haven't melted. Overall, the place was pretty good, homie. Get some.

    The management needs to do a better job with the front of the house. After giving the host our name and receiving a confirmation text we decided to wait the quoted 25 minutes. We waited, and waited, and waited and nearly and hour later we checked with the host again only to find or name wasn't on the to begin with. Disappointing to be turned off to this place, cause the pizza is good.

    Great gluten free pizza! Waiters are knowledgable about cross contamination and for people with Celiac Disease, that's extremely important. I'm a fan of the Lucille and Bennett's Beauty. The chips and salsa are also GF!

  • Kate K.

    I love homeslice so much. They have a bunch of interesting flavor combinations and such a wonderful outdoor patio (kind of loud because of the el). Their gluten free crust is absolutely delicious if you're gf. Amazingly, everyone here is beautiful? Every time I've eaten there it's just full of attractive people, I have no idea. Aside from just great pizza, the service is great too. Recently I ordered a pizza for pick up several hours later - it was a pretty annoying request on my part, but it was part of a big order from multiple places for party. They were very understanding and so great about calling me back to make sure the instructions were clear. Everything was ready right on time when I went to pic k it up too.

    I'm an Oregon Ducks fan, and this is where Ducks fans gather to watch the games. They're always accommodating of fans, even during the Saturday dinner rush. I've eaten through much of the menu, and it is all phenomenal. The pizza is unique for Chicago: thin crust, but thicker than even New York style pizza. The crust is phenomenal, and the toppings and veggies are very fresh! The only one that isn't great is the sliced sausage, which is disappointing in a city with such great sausage. The cocktail menu offers a nice change of pace from what I typically drink, and I've even had brunch as of today!

    I have dined in and gotten carry out at Homeslice about 8-10 times total, and each time I am impressed with the quality of the food and service. The times I have dined in, I have come with a rather large group (about 10-16 people) and they have always easily accommodated us. That's the great thing about their big log cabin-like decor; the long tables are perfect for large parties. The food came out fast, the servers were very pleasant, even though I'm sure a big group like us is a pain in the neck. I have tried about half of the menu items, and I would say that I have enjoyed everything they make. Their salads are fresh (=the veggies are nice and crisp, not like some salads that look wilted from being in the kitchen with hot items), their standard pizzas are exactly what you want from a good pepperoni pizza (a good balance of crust, cheese, sauce, and pepperoni--this is what we always get for takeout when we just want a good quality pizza to eat at home with a movie), and their specialty pizzas are outstanding. I am especially in love with The Lucille, a pesto-based pizza that has changed my stubborn mind that all pizzas should be made with tomato sauce. The Big Teve is a great option if you are a vegetarian, and if you're a fan of meat, the Meet Mary is the way to go. Simply outstanding, great prices, quality food.

    Great ambiance and a great place to watch the Hawks game with a few friends. I had a great craft cocktail but my friend hated hers. However, the server was more than happy to replace it for her. The food was great - I ordered a marinara and goat cheese dish. They have reasonably priced beer as well.

    Management was very responsive to my feedback. Gave it another shot and dined in this time. Nice decor. Casual and high energy vibe. Staff is really friendly and accommodating. Had one of the salads as a appetizer, was really good. Got a veggie and the mercenary pizza. Veggie pizza was good, but the mercenary was delicious. Good TV setup in the front, outdoor patio that could be good as it gets warmer. I would definitely be interested to check this place out on a Friday and Saturday night for drinks.

  • Karla B.

    I am in love with their patio - one of my favorites in the City! However, it can be loud if you are not used to being close to the train. I met up with girlfriends here last night for dinner and drinks. We enjoyed the sheffield salad and the Special-K pizza (subbing pepperoni for the sausage). The pizza was one of my favorites I ever had here, with my second favorite being the natelicious. The sundried tomatoes on the Special-K were delish! I would definitely recommend Homeslice for awesome pizza in the neighborhood.

  • Donna C.

    Taking advantage of the weather and enjoying the neighborhood, we found ourselves with about four dining choices on Webster and we chose HomeSlice. Wise move. Delicious cocktails and beer menu the bourbon ale was rich and flavorful. The sparkling wine and st germain cocktail was so refreshing but there were about 2 others I would gladly have tried. I have the tastebuds of a sophisticated 12-year old so many of the choices sounded good until I saw goat or blue cheese and I was getting frustrated at the roadblock. We chose the individual pizza the simple pepperoni and ava lance. Both were so amazing! The crust was crisp and had perfect texture - chewy and crisp. The flavor was a little buttery. It had enough body to hold up to the strain of the ingredients. The toppings were fresh and flavorful. We saw any other offerings and all looked good. Our server, Kelly, was so sweet and didn't blink when I wanted to leave off the olives and feta from my pizza! She was friendly and attentive - all we could wish for in a server. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

  • Lauren W.

    I came in here on a whim with my friend and I really enjoyed everything about this place. The atmosphere was perfect; it was a warm summer day and we got a table in the shade on the patio in the back. I know some people complained about the L in their reviews, but it wasn't that bad. I had two Oberon's and the Boyler individual/small pizza. I'm pretty plain-jane when it comes to eating, so that was pretty satisfying to my picky taste. That being said, the pizza was good, but not great -- I've had better. In the future, I would probably do the build-your-own pizza so that I could get more of what I wanted. I felt that the menu was quite limited, in that it offers similar ingredients on every pizza but only swaps out one or two to make each pizza unique. I thought the service was relaxed and matched the atmosphere of the restaurant. Servers were attentive yet not overbearing. Price for food/drinks was fair. Overall, I would come back again to try some new things on the menu!

    Went here over the weekend for dinner craving some good thin crust pizza. I was not disappointed and agree with some other reviewers that this is the best thin crust I have had in the city by far. I ordered the BMZ and my wife ordered a Veggie and both were very good. Great craft beer selection to accompany the pizza and friendly service to match. Overall a great place in Lincoln Park. We will be coming back once the weather finally warms up to check out the Patio.

    Lincoln Paker's, Lakeviewer's, walk don't run to this hoppin new Pizza joint! Though its situated between the Belmont and Armitage stop so hoppin on the Red or Brown is just as easy! Crust can make or break a pizza, and Homeslice's cornmeal dusted crust is chewy, crunchy and perfection! The inside is modern, warm and eye catching. The service was great, and as stated at the beginning the food, so good! Salads are flavorful, affordable and perfect so split for two. Two girls split a salad, two pizza's and had half the pizza as leftovers for lunch the next day! Sheffield Salad was spot on - $6 - Mixed greens, mandarin oranges, avocado, bacon bits & lemon poppy seed dressing. Topped with red onions & Gorgonzola crumbles. With 30 specialty pies to choose from its a bit overwhelming even though they are split between meat, chicken and veggie. Gluten free crust is available for $3 extra on a small. The Knife and forker was our favorite, with great smokey flavor and their chewy crispy crust - $11 Pepperoni, blackened chicken, bacon, red onions, mozzarella, provolone, cheddar & barbecue sauce Zephy was a bit of a miss for me but I think thats a personal taste - $11 Portabella mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, mozzarella, provolone & spinach/ricotta sauce Definitely a new go to for me! Great for groups as they have 3 huge communal tables as well!

  • Chad H.

    Really great place. I like that fact that each person can have their own small pizza, so you can pick whatever toppings you want. The staff was friendly, the food was delicious, and the beer selection was surprising. The only thing that I could comment on was the fact that there is a $3.00 upcharge for gluten-free crust that I didn't know about until I received my bill. I'd go here again.

    I really wanted to like Homeslice more. It's obvious they spent some serious cash renovating the place. It looks great, and the staff was very nice. But the food was O.K and the service wasn't very good. If I'm judging Homeslice against other Chicago pizza joints, it doesn't do to well. It is very nice and a great place for under 21 DePaul students to go. If I lived in the neighborhood I would maybe go again. To sum it up,it's like a California Pizza Kitchen started selling booze and had an amazing remodel.

  • Ted A.

    The good: My bartender Kelsie was great. Knowledgeable about the tap beers and menu. She offered a try before I buy on the beer. Very attentive. Kudos. The pizza was so-so. The rest: Brutally overpriced. I knew when I looked at the beer menu and it lacked any prices, I was in another west Lincoln Park place with a, "if you have to ask, you prolly can't afford it" mentality. Two beers, one wine spritzer (for madam), one mediocre 12" pizza, 20% tip = $60. If you're interested in real, authentic pizza, go to Ricobene's on 26th street. If you want to walk somewhere from your million dollar condo on top of the el tracks, go here.

  • Cheryl H.

    I'm giving this place 4 instead of 5 stars due to all of the (I'm assuming) DePaul students making me feel old, the incredibly loud music, and the fantastically long wait. Seriously? I love music. But I love talking to my friends at dinner without screaming more. The GF pizza was the best I've had in the city so far, the pennies in the bathroom were awesome, they had GF beer, and an app to show you how far away you were from the top of the list. Go for the GF pizza, but maybe there's fewer undergrads during the summer??

  • Carrie E.

    I just can't get into this place. A lot of my friends love it but I've had better pizza. I've been here twice (ordered 2 different pizzas) and the toppings don't stay on the pizza when I bite into it which is my #1 pizza pet peeve. I also don't think there's enough cheese on the pizza. The crust is fine tasting but nothing special. The drinks are pretty good though. Service is ok. If there's 4 of you, try not to get a round high top. There just isn't enough room for 4 pizzas, plates, and drinks. Really crowded eating space. Check out the bathroom if you can!

  • Simone C.

    Went here to visit the manager, Jonathan, because he is the best, most attentive and customer oriented manager I've ever known. I brought my friends along for pizza and drinks. The atmosphere was great, a log cabin type of feel on the inside. It was raining but the outdoor patio was awesome, I'd love to go back and sit outside. The pizza was so so good. It's not traditional Chicago style, it's a thin crust with all kinds of cheese and topping options. We had moscow mules that were recommended by the bartender and were really good. Service was great, staff was friendly, I'll be back! Definitely check this place out!

  • Melissa M.

    I've been coming to Homeslice since they first opened. I usually get the Smoke Show or one of the veggie pizzas. The Smoke show is HOT, but delicious. Make sure to have plenty of water or a cold beer. I love the chewy crust. The Yucatan Lime Chicken soup is also very good. I'm on the hunt to find the best tortilla soup in the city and this one comes close. It can get loud, but the back patio is perfect in the summer time.

  • Angela Z.

    PROS: I think probably the best reason to come here is the outdoor patio in the back of the restaurant. They were smart when they came up with this cute and fun atmosphere with the signs, lights, basket lanterns and trailer seating. It makes you wish your backyard looked like this. It gets pretty loud and crowded in the evening hours so I would advise going at dusk/early evening if you just want to hang out and talk with friends. I also thought the service was good too. CONS: So, I wasn't really a fan of this pizza to be honest. A lot of reviews said the crust was amazing and I just found it to be average. The "flavor" of the pizzas in general just tasted kind of...bland? I just didn't feel that the prices matched the quality here at all. (not cheap!) And I wasn't a fan of their combinations either. Lastly, I really didn't like the garlic they used. You only have one option of soft roasted garlic and it didn't do much flavor wise. In a city like Chicago known for it's pizza, there's just too many other great options at any price point. My second con for this place might be the clientele at large. Just way too bro/douchetastic for me. There was some super loud frat douche in a cowboy hat and Dockers being obnoxious as hell to the waitstaff to an embarrassing and annoying level. Pretty sure everyone within earshot wanted to throw a pie at him. Then me and my friends were taking pictures later and some more drunk bros were bugging us/being dumb. Yuck. Honestly, I don't think I'll return. While the patio and service were great, the pizza and clientele just weren't. :(

    Whoa. Summer drinking on this patio is magical! We ordered a mercenary per our waiter's recommendation and it was delicious-cream cheese based with blackened chicken, pepperoni, jalapeños, sour cream, diced romas, green onions, mozzarella, provolone, and cheddar. I actually asked before stealing the beer koozie and was told to take it, in addition to being given a camo option too. :) I can dig you, Homeslice.

    I'll take a big ol'plate of Homeslice anytime. A new pizza place with log cabin decor and the name of Homeslice? I scouted it out - pronto. As I was wandering down Webster looking for the place (they're new enough to still not have their address / sign posted prominently out front), a charming tatted gent poked his head out the door and asked if I was looking for Homeslice - to which I replied, "why yes I am." He escorted me in, and I sat at a little log/wood table while waiting for my dining companion. Love the look of this place, but it is more bar-like than I was anticipating. My back was towards two of the largest flat-screen TVs I've ever seen; volume level also way up throughout the place. That being said, this place still has a fun vibe (rather than obnoxious bar vibe). We tried one of the salads and two of the small pizzas - the Kern-Holio: chicken, portabella, roasted garlic, sundried tomatoes; and the Zephy: portabella, sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, mozz, provolone & spinach ricotta sauce. I preferred the Zephy, but both were great. Nice looking pizzas with a light crispy/chewy crust. Quite tasty.

    Can't comment on food or drinks, only location and service. I've seen this place from the train and thought it looked cute, so we stopped in on a Friday after work. We were seated immediately, but I looked around to notice that the crowd was all somewhere around 17-21. Granted, this place is right next to DePaul, so I should have known it would be a very young crowd. We decided to have one drink and relocate. My drink never came, so we left. basically I wasted of an hour of that very precious Friday Happy Hour/Summer/Patio time. The train passing every few minutes makes it pretty hard to have a conversation. Overall, it's a cute place if you're a teenager or college kid. Otherwise, skip it.

    Apparently "Oregon-style pizza" means "mediocre pizza in a sports bar." The pizza here isn't bad, but it's definitely not good. Pizza is the focus here, but it's no better than pizza you get at any other bar. Jak's Tap comes to mind as a good comparison. If you have any standards when it comes to pizza, Homeslice is not for you. I'm wondering if people are confusing the good times they have here with eating good food. The layout is nice and there are a million TVs. The crowd is young and there were large groups watching football. if your main interest is watching a game and having some beers, with the food being somewhat incidental, this place is probably fine.

    Very good atmosphere and pizza. I am always excited to try a non-Chicago style pizza and this fit the bill. Three of us dined on a medium + a small and it was the right amount of food. Pizza was delicious, crispy crust was memorable. Pizza was packed with flavor. While the salsa was good with the chips for an app, would probably elect for a salad starter next time around. Warm and woodsy feeling place on a cold Monday night in Chicago. Bar area was crowded and noisy for the game and there were some quieter tables near the kitchen which was a great contrast. Cool place. Big menu with tons of choices...relied on our helpful server to guide the decisions. Check this place out!

    The Hooch. The Hooch. The Hooch. It's all about the Hooch. This lemony, minty drink with cruzan rum and st. germain hits the spot. Homeslice deserves 5 stars just for this hot mess. When I first tried the Hooch, my group was told it will "start hitting us in about an hour." LIES! It took 15 minutes. It was great! Pizzas are excellent. Perfectly baked dough and great menu toppings. Reasonably priced for a great meal. They also have goat cheese marinara with fresh breadsticks. Win. Friendly and attentive staff. Great for family, friends, after work grub.

    I came to Homeslice with my homie to enjoy some pizza. We got a small cheese and small chicken/bacon/tomatoes/ranch one to share (i forget the names). Both were tasty, and I enjoyed the crust. It's a good option for the area. The outdoor area looks fun, so I'll be back in the summer!

    Went as a couple right after work on a Friday, around 5:30PM. It was not crowded at all on the patio which I really appreciated. Nice selection of custom cocktails & beer. Ordered 2 medium pizzas which was the perfect amount of food for two. Most notable was the freshness of the ingredients and the very nicely done crispy crust. Love me a nice thin crispy crust and I was impressed. Our server Brittney was superb and very accommodating. Highly recommend getting there early since it was already getting quite busy by the time we left (My bias, not a big fan of uber-crowded restaurants). Overall, very enjoyable.

    We've been here twice now, which is two times too many. The first time we sat inside. Way too crowded, way too loud, and the service was possibly the worst I've ever experienced. Never again, we decided. Of course a sufficient amount of time passed, though, and we decided to give it another try. It was perfect fall weather, not crowded, and we sat outside on the sidewalk patio. Unfortunately, the service was just as bad as the previous time. Soooo slow, to the point where we were wondering if our server had just up and left for the day. The food doesn't make it worth it. The menu looks like it has a lot of options, but many of the pizzas are basically the same, especially the meat-free ones. They taste ok, but aren't amazing. There are certainly too many other (and far better) pizza options in Chicago.

    These pizzas are awesome. The Knife and Forkner as well as the Special-K are highly recommended. I always get the bread sticks and goat cheese appetizer as well. I typically call ahead and order for takeout. It usually takes 20 minutes for the order to be ready and they have a takeout counter in the back right of the place. Their beer selection is solid and the wait staff has always been great. You should definitely go here if you're in the area. EDIT: They now deliver!

    My first time here with my wife. The waiter was nice and very helpful. He recommended that we get the Knife and Fork pizza and boy it was good. In addition my wife a Big Teve Pizza and she loved it. Let me not forget the goat cheese and bread sticks oh so good! This is a kid friendly place or a group friendly place. I will definitely be back.

  • Jacob S.

    Riding past this place on the El I had to give it a try. The food was great- despite a seemingly uncreative menu, served non-Chicago style. I don't know what I was expecting. Maybe something a little more Northwoods inspired to match the rustic log cabin decor of the owner's native Oregon. Like a meat-lovers with venison or something instead of just... well, a plain meat-lovers. I'm also a (poor) college kid with an appetite, and not getting stuffed while simultaneously emptying my wallet=counterproductive. Glad I went here once, but... I have to pay rent. The wait staff and atmosphere was great! No complaints here.

    Threw a party back in December and sent out the Homeslice menu to get everyone's orders. Went to place the order and turns out Homeslice was closed that day but it wasn't on their voicemail. Emailed the manager just to let them know and he responded with apology and offered $25 credit when we were able to join them. Finally got around to trying this place out again last weekend and the pies were delicious!! I got a Gluten Free Funky McChicken and I have to say, it's probably the best GF crust I've ever had - I didn't feel like I was making a compromise whatsoever. Family got a couple other pizzas and really liked those. Our server was nice - a little slow - but took care of us. Overall, I was impressed with the manager stepping up with an apology and offering me an incentive to still try the place out. I'm glad he did because otherwise I would never have returned. Now, I can't wait to go back in :) Great customer service should be rewarded!

    There is something to say about a restaurant that starts from no following to a spot that caters to all genres within a year plus. An experienced chef or a child can find these dishes appealing. Im excited to see where they end up with in the year. If you live anywhere close to this great start of a night you're lucky and should be taking advantage of home slice. I had to venture from the burbs..

    Love the patio, and the pizza is good. The music selection is nice, like they put my entry-level indie high school iPod on shuffle. It's kind of expensive, even the cheapest generic beers are six bucks. But seriously, that patio.

    Amazing place in Lincoln Park! This restaurant is a must!!!!! The atmosphere was very unique, food & drinks were great. We met the owner Clay & his dog Gary, very welcoming. The service was very good as well. This is a very cute place to meet friends for food and drinks. I highly recommend this place, it's out if the city a little bit, but well worth coming.

  • Louise D.

    Such a fun place to spend an afternoon! Great decor, good selection of beer that comes in a coozie, a patio with an airstream trailer and a bull dog named Gary who is super friendly. I've had pizza here three times and 2/3 were meh, the other was good, good crust and topping and cheese ratio. Is it just me or are all the vegetarian options basically the same?

  • Jessica M.

    The roasted garlic that comes with the bread is what keeps me coming back. I came once on a Saturday afternoon and the other on a weekday after work. Saturday afternoon was way more enjoyable. Less of a wait, food came out faster and the service was on point.

    This place is great for groups. Went on a Saturday afternoon group of friends for a game board day, no wait for indoor seating. Outside was a short wait. The Pizza I will give it about 3 out of 5. They do carry my favorite cider (ciderboys) so a plus! Service was great. They came around every 5-10 min or so to take our drinks orders. Only downside is the trains that go by every 3 minutes!

    So good!! I went here for lunch and ordered a veggie calzone. I can't believe I ate the whole thing! Very good quantities that will fill you up. I had chips and salsa for an appetizer and the chips were wildly delicious. Decor was great, it reminded me of lincoln logs. The waiter was extremely nice. Go here, you won't be disappointed.

  • Lauren R.

    I only Yelp when it's special, when you can really feel the love that's been put into both food and service. (or...not) Food: Homeslice has some ultra tasty pizza, possibly my new favorite thin crust in the city. That chewy, coastal U.S. kind with top notch ingredients that taste local, and creative options. In Chicago this pizza variety is definitely easier to find in Bucktown/Wicker than Lincoln Park - so I'm happy it's now available east of Sheffield and within my delivery area. Their soup is the same level of awesome, as are salads and dressings. All seems totally homemade and fresh. The marinara sauce is a little too sweet for my taste, but that's a personal preference. Service: the BEST!!! Amazing. Seriously. They get really crowded and might have a mix-up here and there with an order, but are always super nice on the phone and it's obvious they want happy customers. They went totally WAY above and beyond to fix a problem with my order tonight - which they didn't even have to do...because it was no big deal.

    The atmosphere is good with friends or on a date, kind of feels warm and cozy and just makes you wanna stay there for a while. And then once you taste the pizza- it's phenomenal. The complexity and the flavors that are combined are so nice. It's not Chicago style pizza but it's a nice break. I'll be back next wk :)

    Honestly just so upset with this place. Have been here before and the food is average, but the service and order time is absolutely horrendous. Came in on a Saturday morning, sat down and 15 minutes later finally got my bloody mary. Then ordered our food and that took about a half hour for brunch food. Place is not great for what you pay. If its a last resort maybe consider going to McDonalds.

    NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY!!!!! Don't even bother trying to go get some pizza if you're under 21 on a Friday night at 5:30. The dumbest restaurant. Not everyone on a college campus is 21. They won't even serve you pizza unless your 21. I hope they're losing ridicous amounts of money for this. At least make it over 21 past like 8 o'clock. clearly they are not an organized restaurant. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME PEOPLE

    I was pretty disappointed in my visit to Homeslice, because I don't think the pizza is very good. The menu is interesting and there are a lot of seemingly excellent combinations to try. However, I didn't find that any of the pizzas we ordered came together well. I think a major issue is that the ingredients used at Homeslice are not top-quality, and that translates to pizzas that are not very flavorful. Everything we ate was pretty bland, and this included one particular combination very similar to one I regularly order at Piece that generally is extremely flavorful because of the toppings. The sausage didn't have pop, the vegetables all blended together, and the cheese tasted very average. I also did not care for the Homeslice crust - the consistency was fine, but they used way too much cornmeal on the bottom, and it tasted like a corn pizza. Not ideal in my book. I will say the salad I ate was excellent. the other appetizer choices were a bit puzzling, though, as they are almost all bread-based. I don't necessarily want to eat a bunch of bread right before eat pizza. The restaurant is pleasant, cool space, which is a plus. The patio in back on the surface is a really nice place to sit, but the extremely close proximity to El trains overhead gets old quickly. In the end, there are lots of other places trying to do pretty similar things that end up executing them much more satisfactorily.

    Let's start with the basics - the pizza is very good, and the menu offers a wonderful selection of pizzas. In addition to the pizza, service was very good and fast, and the place has a really cool design and ambience. Still not my favorite pizza place in Chicago, but certainly in my top 10.

  • Greg G.

    This restaurant has an awesome setup with a patio in the back, nice TVs everywhere, big long tables to fit large parties, great bar set up, fire pit on the patio. I would definitely like to come back here during the summer. The pizza we got was pretty good, nothing to write home about though. We got a BBQ chicken pizza which was VERY good and had the perfect kick to it, but then we got some vegie pizza that just had way too many diced tomatoes on it and kind of ruined the flavor of the pizza. I'll definitely go back here in the summer, looks like a fun place to hang out and watch sports.

  • Sammy L.

    I really like this place! I don't say that too often with most Chicago pizza places. I don't do deep dish, and I find popular thin crust places like Pat's to have a cracker crust that tastes like water. Personally, I don't even like the fan favorite Piece that much. I always order, and really love their wheat crust. I highly recommend this crust, even to those that aren't trying to be "healthy". The crust has so much darn flavor!! I always request to get their pizza extra crispy. I kind of like it when it's partially burnt. Their toppings are high quality, and the sauce is perfect. Homeslice is definitely one of my top pics in the city, and it's conveniently only 5 blocks from where I live! Score!

  • Emily S.

    This is such a cool restaurant!! I came her when on vacation with my family in July 2014 and loved it. We sat out in the back patio and the decor/atmosphere was so amazing! They have an old camper transformed to have seating inside it, along with pic-nic tables and patio furniture for bigger groups, along with plenty of cafe tables and hightop tables and bar stools. We came for lunch on a Monday when it was pretty quiet, but I bet it would be a really fun place to hangout at night for drinks. They had a pretty good drink menu too. There's also a little dog that wanders around the back patio and he's so cute! Had to tell him "no" when he came begging at our table but we didn't mind at all! They are famous for their pizza obviously, which was good and I had a buff chicken salad which was good in my book because the chicken strips weren't fried but grilled with light buffalo sauce on them. I would definitely recommend this place!

  • Frances B.

    This place lives up to all the hype- T-A-S-T-Y TASTY! Several of my finds told me how great this place was, (the critics said it was meh) but my friends' taste buds got this right. The atmosphere is great, but they're a bit torn on what they want to be exactly. (Full disclosure, I went at midnight for a late dinner w/ my boyfriend after his flight got in late) But their late night scene was confusing- are you a casual pizza place/sports bar or are you a nightspot w/ really good food? The music was unbearably loud. Normally I would've asked for it to be turned down, but it was 12:30 on a Friday night and there were some drunk college kids there, so I decided not to be a grandma. We plan on coming back during normal meal hours, and hopefully the music won't be blaring then. The service was OK, the owner came by and talked to us for a minute and he was nice, but our server was meh. The pizza though was outstanding. We had the gramercy, and we can't wait to come back. I wish this place knew that they don't have to try so hard to appeal to the college crowd- there are a lot of young professionals in the area that will happily frequent the place if it stops trying so hard, and turns the music down so it's at a conversational volume.

    Use the restrooms!!! Penny walls and floor. Very cool. I got bread sticks and goat cheese ($8), a Boyler Room pizza ($17 for medium) and a Knife & Forkner ($23 for medium). Split between 4 people, we had a couple slices leftover. Everything was delicious, although the knife & forkner was a little too meaty for me. Service was great and our waitress was very patient with introducing all the different favorites since it was our first time. Very nice decorations all around :)

  • Malcolm D.

    Everything here is incredibly delicious with plenty of variety. They also have a great draft beer selection which is a huge plus on a Saturday evening. The outdoor patio is great during the summer and the old school trailer serves as great coverage for those spontaneous afternoon storms. Out waiter, Ryan S, courageously toughed out the elements to make sure our glasses were never empty. 5 stars. No doubt.

  • Stephanie S.

    This place was good, and we'll probably come back. But it's not my favorite pizza in the city. We actually came here after a wild pizza goose chase (first to Lou Malnati's where the wait was too long, then to Roots where West Fest was mobbing the entrance, then here). We arrived for a late dinner on Sunday. It looked empty from the outside, but that's because everyone was out back on the patio. We took a seat there as well, and the patio is beautiful. A good amount of space, not cramped, with lots of hanging lights, candles and lanterns. Only downside: The El rumbles past every five minutes - it's right next door and becomes too loud to hear the person next to you. Romance killer. We started with the mozzarella bread sticks ($8). They were just OK, and we probably won't get them again - basically dough with some shredded cheese baked on top with a side of marinara. It's nice that they offer a wheat option, though. Then we split the Knife & Forkner (medium for $23). Pepperoni, chicken, bacon, onions, cheese, BBQ sauce - great combination. We both really liked this and would get it again. We ended up taking three slices home. At the end of the day, the tab was $44, which I thought was a little high for what we got (a beer and a Diet Coke in addition to the above). The wait staff was nice but not super memorable. A visit to the bathroom yielded a penny-covered floor (cool) but no toilet paper in two out of the three stalls (eugh).

    Had this place bookmarked for a while now finally got to go last night. This place has the best brick oven pizza I've had in chicago. We went with a group of 8 and it was so fun. Only thing against it is the service is very slow. Otherwise good food and good atmosphere.

    We all know that Chicago is the place to be if you want to have some deep dish pizza. But what about good ol' fashion no deep dish? Homeslice is a great place to get your fill. The ambience of this place outside is seriously adorable. Perfect for summer. The only con is that on one side of the patio seating the L Line passes through and you might as well feel as though you're eating on the rails. It's terribly noisy on that end of the patio. Upon being seated, we initially were seated on that side...after feeling that we were going to have dinner under a bridge, we were easily moved to the other side where the lighting and decor is much more appealing. For starters, we had the jalapeño poppers..the sauce was a nice combination to the pipers and they were pretty good. We then ordered the Ava-Lance and the Mac Disel. The Ava-Lance was bursting with flavor and did not disappoint. The Mac Disel was good but it felt more like a traditional Margherita pizza. The crust though...was fantastic!! I'm not a crustie kind of girl, but I loved me some crust here!! The inside of the restaurant was bursting with tons of people and lots of energy. I honestly loved the ambience and how fresh the food was. The service was sensational which made the experience all the more better!

    Amazing gluten free pizza. The waitress was extremely helpful when helping my friend and I decide what to order. The decor was amazing sort of in the style of a chic modern cabin. The restaurant was busy with all type of visitors. I also had a fresh salad that was decent in size for the price. The communal table situation was a nice surprise and interesting way to meet some of your neighbors... perhaps? You can tell a place like this has "regulars" for a reason... Great food and a solid wait staff.

    Dined on a Saturday night. Restaurant was busy but service from Adam was exceptional. Built our own pizza: crisp crust, fresh toppings, generous sauce.

    I read about this place in Chicago magazine. I was excited to check it out... up until I read some of the negative yelp reviews.. they made me a little apprehensive to check this place out. I'm not into the whole young college kid vibe. I went nonetheless though. It was great. Loved the pizza. Thought the ambiance was great too.

    Really solid pizza and beer place right off the Fullerton brown line stop. I'd been passing it on the El for months and loved their sign out front (I'm weird I know) and finally suggested it to a friend since it was in-between our homes. It was an awesome Saturday watching the day's games and munching on good food. Our service was excellent and the interior is really well done. Great place to relax and near DePaul so a good stop for university visitors.

    Looking for good pizza in the city of Chicago is usually fairly easy. What matters is if there is a stand-out joint that does it better than the rest. Homeslice does it better than most. The pizza is incredibly fresh, the dough is incredible, and the sauce is top-notch as well. Not to mention the pizza took 10 minutes make and get to my table. Definitely, will be making a return visit.

    I went here this afternoon for lunch. It was a choice between Homeslice and Pequods. I chose Homeslice and I'm glad I did. First off, the place is really cute. It's got a modern and sleek log cabin feel to it (just try and imagine such a thing). The tabletops were giant slices of glossy tree trunk and most of the hardware in the restaurant was a very shiny brass. It worked well. We sat at a table right by the open front window (they also have outdoor seating for those who really wanted to experience today's weather. Second, the food was phenomenal. Their menu is pretty extensive. Their selection of pizza was very diverse- they had something for every preference -including gluten-free! We ordered the Schulz BBQ Bird pizza (a small is definitely enough for two people, especially when that's not all you're ordering. piggy). It had bbq sauce, chicken, tomatoes, cilantro, red onion, pepperocinis, and cheese on it. The crust was thin and crispy, the way I like it. And the ingredient combo made for a unique but really good pizza. We also ordered the smoked ham and avocado calzone. The crust of the calzone was really good. They sure know how to twerk that flour. The ham and cheese AND avocado combo was right on. They also had salads, soups and a bunch of other stuff to chose from. I'd like to come back to try their other pizzas.

    Homeslice in Lincoln Park has a bar atmosphere, in line with its Lincoln Park location. The room is lined with big screen TVs mounted at a comfortable viewing height and angle, and the atmosphere is a bit more raucous, but by no means overly loud. We sat down during the third period of an unfortunate Hawks loss to the Minnesota Wild, highlighted by an impressive performance by Darcy Kuemper. The menu at Homeslice is a bit more erratic, and at first glance, the pizza choices seem all over the place in terms of ingredients, but in the end, the meal we had there was very impressive. Per the recommendation of a friend who's a part owner, we started with the whole wheat breadsticks and goat cheese. A very generous helping of soft wonderfully cooked breadsticks, served piping hot, really showcased the pizza dough here, which had a nice wheaty-grain taste, and a perfect soft, chewy texture. The goat cheese marinara dipping sauce was a nice contrast of flavors, as the marinara had a nice sweetness to it. I highly recommend them if you go, but if you're going as a couple, cut yourself off at one or two; otherwise you may not have room for what's to come. My date went with the Bennet's Beauty - with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, and a mozzarella/provolone blend. The dough here has a bit of a grainy flavor, it's spun to a decent thickness, and hence, is a lot more doughy and chewy. The crust still had a decent burn to it to add a nice contrast of texture, and the toppings were loaded on to balance the thickness of the dough. The 'roni had a nice spice to it, but the sausage was a bit light on flavor. The mushrooms were fresh, and in the end, the combo worked together nicely. I ignored the double flame warning and went with the Smoke Show, topped with cream cheese, roasted chicken, a similar mozzarella/provolone mixture, some garlic, and a very generous helping of fresh jalapenos. I will definitely say the double flame warning is there for a reason; while the sliced jalapenos by themselves are tolerable, when you add the seeds from the peppers and a dollop of sprinkled chili flakes, it adds some *real* heat here. The chicken itself was fantastic - roasted with just a bit of color but retaining a nice soft texture. While the cream cheese tried to balance the heat, it was fighting a losing battle. While I'm not exactly the type who will grab a ghost pepper and eat it whole, I'd like to think I can handle my spice - this dish definitely got me sweating and just a bit uncomfortable, but it was not over the top either, and manageable if you're looking to punish yourself just a bit.

    Two girlfriends and I wanted a patio for a Sunday night dinner and my yelp search brought up Homeslice. I heard about this new pizza place in my 'hood and yet it took me 5 months to try it...what was I thinking? We arrived and put our name in and were seated about 15 minutes later. Homeslice is one of the many restaurants that uses a text to let you know when your table is ready...no need to worry about pager radius or missing someone calling your name from behind the host stand. I had asked about the outside wait when putting my name in and was disappointed when we were walked toward the back of the restaurant, only to be happily surprised by the secret (aka I didn't know) patio out back (there is also outdoor seating out front). It was super cute on the patio...a Chicago sign in the back, strung lights, lots of tables, etc. Only downside is the L is quite loud when it passes by. We ordered 2 salads and 2 small pizzas to share among the three of us and it was more than enough food (we had 2 slices of pizza left over which were quite delicious for lunch the next day). We ordered the Sesame Soy and Sheffield salads. Both of which were yummy. The salads are definitely a good size and at $5-7 they are definitely a good deal. We ordered the Lucille and Very Gary (add cheese) pizzas, both of which were good. I usually don't go for chicken on my pizza but really enjoyed it on the Lucille, plus I have an irrational love of kalamata olives which may have added to my enjoyment. The Very Gary was good and I enjoyed the kick of the pepperoncinis. The crust tasted wood-fired and was the right amount of crispy. The service was so-so (the reason for not giving 5 stars) as tables after us got their pizza (and paid their check) before we got our pizzas and we had to flag down the waitress to find out what was going on. She said it was a back up in the kitchen, but the fact that she didn't take the initiative to let us know that we'd have to wait is what was unappreciated. Didn't spend too much time inside but liked the log cabin decor. I will definitely be going back to give Homeslice a chance to redeem itself to earn that 5th star.

    My review is limited because we just ordered a few pizzas for pickup. I don't yet have input on the service or decor. But I can say I had a tough time finding a place that made whole wheat pizza crust. Gluten free is more common these days - the complete opposite of what I was looking for in a crust. We live further north and west and not a lot of options for wheat crust in our area. It was the snowy day in Chicago and it was well worth the drive for my husband to go to Lincoln Park and get the pizza. The crust was fantastic and in general a fabulous pizza. I look forward to going in Homeslice to enjoy more of the menu and the environment!

    Came here tonight to have a few beers, watch the games and have some food. We sat out in the Patio and it is a great spot. The El going by occasionally is the only real bad part. We had a great table right up until the host, who sat us, asked us to move to a different table because they had a group coming in. We told her we didn't really want to get up, but she would not take NO for an answer. The big group coming in that needed our table and the other empty one was a group of four. Pretty disappointed by this! Out server was kind of a flake, wasn't bad but nothing special. The food I have mixed reviews. The Buffalo Chicken salad was great, the garlic bread was good but the pizza was so bland and tasteless. Very disappointed in the pizza here. Overall a pretty poor dining experience, very disappointed in what should be a great place.

    So after visiting this place more than a few times I have to update my review to a include a full five stars! It really is that good. The owners Josh and Clay really created something special for a pizza spot in the heart of Lincoln Park, and the center of DePaul country. They have upgraded the outside decor with a brand new patio, both on the street in front of Home Slice and in the back with an awesome art collage of Chicago. Home Slice is constantly evolving and this will be a Chicago staple very soon.

    Tried out Homeslice last night, our friend who is in from out of town and LOVES pizza wanted to try a place that wasn't deep dish and I had heard a little bit about Homeslice from some social media chatter. I lucked out and got a parking spot on Webster right in front of McGees, but had that spot not been there, parking might have been really tough. But hooray for luck. Realistically, I would only give the pizza 3 stars. It's good, and I was really hoping to love it but I wasn't blown away. The prices seem decent enough, the large pizza is pretty darn huge, 3 of us didn't polish off our large Mac Diesel. We did have to wait quite a bit for a table but there were a lot of people there waiting at the bar when we first arrived. Plus hey, it's a Friday right by Depaul where pizza and beer is served... what else can you expect. The reason for the 4 stars instead of three is that the service was great. When we were waiting, a guy brought us out some chips and salsa. Since that is an appetizer on their menu I expected that it would be added to our bill but it wasn't! I thought that was really cool of them.

    Great new neighborhood pizza spot! One thing I really appreciated about this place was that the owners were both present and being friendly and chatting with customers. That is so cool to see, because it made me feel valued as a customer. The pizzas looked and smelled great, and the garlic bread we ordered was amazing. I might almost say that was the best thing about the place! It was a huge serving for just me and my one girlfriend, but boy was it good. The pizzas were unique. They had tons of different options and combos try, between plain stuff, veggie stuff, chicken, meaty stuff. I can't wait to try more! This is a little different from your standard Chicago pizza place -- seems more like the wood-fired oven, but they had the crust thickness and general tastiness down to an art. Also, they have Widmer Hefeweizen on draft! Great portland beer! Will definitely be back, hopefully when the line has chilled out a bit.

    I visited Homeslice with a few friends that I had not seen in a while and we were all pleased with the food. The pizza was good, the beer selection was good, and the service was friendly. The interior has a warm feel due to the wood tables and large bar. There are some televisions around so you can watch games or stuff.

    Whoops, sorry to rain on the Homeslice parade, but this was just OK to me. I live in the area and have been watching this place transform from a traditional Italian joint to an upscale lodge-y pizzeria. The interior is pretty cool-- all of the tables and booths are made from lacquered logs and they have interesting halogen lighting. It's comfortable. I'm happy to say that on a weeknight, the place wasn't filled with just students. By the way, does it annoy any other DePaul alumni when people refer to DePaul-area spots as fratty? DePaul has nearly no Greek life to speak of. Anyways. Homeslice had a good mix of families with young children as well as 20-somethings. My friend and I settled into a table in the back. We both ordered draft beers, he a hefeweizen and me the Allagash White, and they came out quickly. Our waiter was a nice guy but wasn't around as much as I would have wanted, especially at the end when we were trying to pay. That's what tipped this review to 3 stars instead of 4. The rest of the staff was exceedingly nice and attentive. Onto the pizza. My friend insisted that we order a large for the 2 of us. Ughhhhhhhhhhhh, fatness. We got the Mac Diesel (pepperoni, mushrooms, onion, added spinach). I noticed that our waiter, and other waiters, ask if you want any Sriracha brought to the table. Southeast Asian girl side-eying you right here.... right, the pizza.The crust had a good cheesy flavor, but the toppings had turned all of it soggy. I don't know, I just thought the sogginess was amateur... the same thing always happens to me when I make pizza because I get over zealous with the toppings. It was still pretty tasty, but not crave-worthy.

    Love this place! Hands down, the best gluten free crust in Chicago. It is amazing! So is the service. I'm also dairy free so I've brought in my dairy free cheese and they've been more than happy to use it on my GF pizza. AMAZING. My boyfriend orders their traditional crusts and has loved each pizza he gets. Another bonus is the wine selection at the bar. They have great wines available by the glass, which makes it a common weekend stop.

  • Anthony A.

    The decor of Homeslice is outstanding. And the staff was incredibly attentive and engaging. Huge props to them for that. I can't figure out why everyone is giving this place 5 stars given all the pizza options in our city. Maybe it's the variety of pizzas (which is excellent) people are craving. Maybe it's the fact this place stands out against all the bro/douchebag alternatives in the area like State. But when I rate pizza, I simply care about just that: the pizza. And I felt like it was innovative and tasted good, but overall it wasn't great. And it needs to be great for me to give it a higher rating. Worth trying if you want variety and something new, but sadly I can't justify coming back (maybe for drinks?) given all of our amazing pizza options in Chicago.

    gf GF's birthday was coming up, and we needed a low-key pizza night. I'd read a review of this place from a source I trusted that didn't like it, and was a little freaked out, but I'd committed. The source was wrong. I could now make a pun about "the sauce was just right," but I won't. Although I kind of just did. Anyway, walk in on a Tuesday night and it was semi-crowded, with the big front windows wide open, and everyone from college kids to families with small children dining. There's a small outdoor patio, but unfortunately there were no tables. Everyone raves about the interior, so I'll leave it be, but it did remind me of a nice Vermont log cabin. Quite a selection of beers, including only one gluten-free. That being said, the gf beer they had is awesome, and actually tastes like beer. Plus it comes in a little coozie. The cocktail menu is 4-5 long, some look sweet, the Pimms cup was okay, but I didn't love the muddled-ish cucumber (too many seeds floating about). The taste was okay. The salad selection is about 4-5, and the mixed was very fresh, the arugula was peppery, the tomatoes were tasty and incredibly red. Like, home-grown red. Lightly and simply dressed, it was delightful. The pizza selection is vast, coming in a variety of sizes. We went gluten-free crust on both, and if you have the gf issue, then you know how they can vary. When both of ours came (funky McChicken and something without meat (her order)), I almost questioned if they'd forgotten we'd ordered a gf crust. It was awesome, crisp on the bottom, a bit chewy in the thicker bits, well seasoned. Loaded high with fresh FLAVORFUL toppings. Both were amazing, and we even had to take 2 of the 8 slices home, which is unheard of. Super filling pies, and incredibly well done. I'll definitely be back. *Bathrooms very clean. *Wait-staff friendly and attentive, while being professional at the same time (as much as a pizza place calls for that). I believe we had Rock, who was on top of everything. *Gluten-free crusts only come in small (10") but taste like the real deal. -Maybe a few too many big screen tv's everywhere which sort of take away from the carefully planned log cabin aesthetic.

    This place is a solid 3 star. I went to Homeslice on a Saturday night for a date. Bad idea - the place is too loud to hear across the table! Other than that, I think this place is just ok. The food is fine but not great. When I picked up my pizza all of the toppings just slid off. Once I put them back on it tasted ok but not fabulous. They have a lot of pizza options but a lot of them are similar and not too exciting. I would like to see them branch out and include some more complex/fancier pizzas. I thought it was bizarre they didn't even offer a prosciutto & arugula pizza which is pretty standard these days. The service when we were there was not good. I understand that the restaurant was busy, but we couldn't ever find our waitress when we needed her. Asking for more napkins, water, utensils was a real hassle. Luckily the bus staff was up for the task and very helpful. The place seems to cater to groups of people better than small parties. I think our sentiment was shared by the groups of 2 around us. No one seemed satisfied. Prices were good. But I left wishing I had gone somewhere else for dinner. I think it would be a better place for grabbing drinks with friends and some bar food than a dinner date out.

    Chill atmosphere with fun décor. Lots of different pizza selections...even caters to gluten-free diets. You must try the Knife & Forkner! I could eat that forever. If you order their special beer, you get a free coozy along with it. The selection always changes.

    Homeslice! Where have you been all my life! Space itself is well done. Small patio outside which I'm sure will be impossibly busy but great this summer. Inside is so cool (with plentiful TVs) that sitting inside won't ever be so bad. Minus a 5th star for now b/c whoa buddy it was WARM inside the restaurant when I visited (it was ~80 degrees outside that evening). Breadsticks with goat cheese are delicious and a HUGE portion. The Sheffield salad (add Chicken) is actually a salad I would WANT to eat for dinner all the time. The pizza is very good. Thin, crispy yet chewy crust. A gazillion options on the menu. (GF crust.... Whole Wheat crust..... every topping ever.... etc) Thrilled to have a GREAT spot filling a formerly long vacant corner.

    The pizza is ok, I don't think it is the best option in Chicago but it is a pretty good option. I am a south sider suburbanite so I grew up on Aurelio's (Homewood) and Sanfrantellos which both were really god pizza so maybe I am spoiled on what I think pizza should be. But I think this place is more about location and environment. There really aren't a lot of good pizza places to watch sports at in the city and this place fits the bill of being one and having non-traditional toppings. At the same point a medium build your own starts out at $17, and say if you go to Piece a large build your own starts at $18.49 and a large at Pat's is $16.50 even a large cheese deep dish at Lou's starts at $17.75 so your value isn't the best here. The pizza itself is decent, I had a party boi (not sure if it is a jack ass reference). Pizza had good coverage of the pepperoni's over the cheese and a thumbs up for having pepperoncini's as a topping as some pizza places are missing the bill on that one. The crust leaves something to be desired, it doesn't crisp up (no crunch when you bite) and the ends are fairly big, so the toppings don't go all the way to the end of the slice which is a bummer for me. It is thin so you won't feel overloaded afterwards of which I am a fan of not being overloaded. I also had the jalapeño homie's that I liked better than your typical popper, they are not deep fried and extremely fresh and the jalapeño itself is refreshing until the heat kicks in, it is a nice touch to the menu. The workers were extremely nice and on time so the service was good and a plus. It is a good spot to gather with your friends, I just think that this will not be one of those places where I crave their food and have to go back.

    Ordered pizza to go from here a couple weeks ago to accompany our wine haul from across the street. The design of the space is really interesting, and I almost wish we had stayed to enjoy our dinner at the restaurant itself. We ordered a simple vegetarian pizza and the ingredients were very fresh. However the crust left something to be desired. Crust is a big deal for this girl....it's the foundation to all great pizzas. And in this town, you have some stiff competition. It needed more seasoning or flavor and almost made the entire pizza seem bland. Even the man, who is rarely picky, mentioned something to me. We'll probably return because of the close proximity. I mean, who doesnt enjoy walking 2 houses down to enjoy a beer. And I'll even give the pizza another go round, but perhaps order something with more meat/sauce the next time. Pizza out!

    I wanted to give this place 4 stars because the ambiance and outdoor patio are homey and trendy at the same time. Its fairly new so maybe i will change my mind. The thing that gets me is that they have chips and salsa on their menu for $5+. Isn't this America? Aren't we suppose to get chips & salsa fo free? Anyway that was weird, even weirder was that i ordered them and immediately had buyers remorse. Oh well you live you learn. Looks like their pizza is the hot seller so I will have to go back and try it. Their location is great right on webster. I think they will give state some competetion. I was actually on my way to state when i heard this place bumpin across the street so i figured i would see what the big deal was. I was pleasantly surprised and stayed for a while.

    Homeslice hits the sweet spot between slightly more upscale and trendy without being uncomfortable. It's nicer than your neighborhood pizza joint, but t-shirts and jeans are acceptable. Even at 7 on a Friday, my group of six was able to get seated inside right away (there was a short wait for the patio). The log-cabin decor is adorable, and the penny-art in the restroom still boggles my mind. I got the Special K pizza and my boyfriend got the Da Duba, which we were going to share, but I sort of wound up monopolizing the Special K because it was so awesome. Prices are totally reasonable for the small pizzas, which I ate again for dinner the next day. A great addition to the area!

    Great place to have pizza! The decor is awesome, love the big tree trunk tables that are set up in the middle. Very cool ambiance. We went on a Friday night and since it was just me and the fiance, we were seated in a table for two right away. I ordered a Moscow Mule since I had read that they had the legit copper mugs. It was a little on the sweet side but still really refreshing. We each got a small pizza so we could try different pizzas, my fiance ordered the Knife and Forkner which consisted of meat, bbq, cheddar and more cheese. Sounds like heaven right? And tasted just like it! I ordered the Hughes delight which was pretty much an intense veggie pizza with feta and I thought it was equally as delicious. My fiance and I were very happy with our pizza choices and we both agreed that we would definitely be making a trip back to Homeslice.

    My first attempt at eating at Homeslice was a no-go. I went at 8:30pm on a Friday night and upon arriving, the hostess told us there were 25 people ahead of me. No thanks. No food in this world is worth waiting that long. So I went across the street to State, enjoyed their $5 Friday specials (a superb deal), and vowed to try Homeslice another time. I went back Saturday afternoon around 12:00pm and was able to get a table right away. The inside of the restaurant was completely empty because most people were out on the patio eating. Although I didn't spend too much time on the inside, it's very nicely decorated. It's definitely a cool atmosphere and it looks like it belongs in Lincoln Park. I enjoyed sitting outside on the back patio that Homeslice has--it's a decorated well, has a relaxing vibe (I mean, minus the train going by every few minutes), and even has TVs so you can watch the game. Not to mention there's an adorable French bulldog named Gary that runs around on the patio and greets visitors. The patio did start to get crowded around 1:00pm--so keep that in mind, especially as the weather gets nicer. As for the food, I liked it overall. We ordered the mozzarella breadsticks (Delish! And the sauce that they pair with it is just slightly spicier than regular marinara, so it was really good), a small Clay Bacon pizza, and a small Schulz BBQ Bird pizza. My one issue with both pizzas is that they had so many toppings that it was very difficult to eat it without getting messy, and you can't really appreciate all of the flavors because there are so many in just one small pizza. Although the food is good, I think it's a bit overpriced. $30+ for a large pizza? Sorry, I could order 2 pizzas from Lou's or Bacci's for that price. I get it--all of the toppings can get expensive. But when half of the toppings end up falling off the pizza because there's just too much, I don't want to be paying for their cost of toppings. Also, $3 for a soda? That's pretty expensive compared to other restaurants. Most places will charge max $2 with free refills. Homeslice has just regular Pepsi products, not any kind of gourmet soda, so there's no excuse for the high price. Can't comment on alcohol prices since we didn't order any while there. My big negative about Homeslice is the service. Even when it wasn't very crowded, we waited 15 minutes for drinks, another 25-30 for breadsticks, and our pizza came about 45-50 minutes after we first ordered. I hardly saw the waitress, so it was impossible to get refills on drinks. I wanted extra napkins and parmesan cheese for the pizza, but again, didn't see the waitress at all so that was impossible. Overall: Cool place with a fun, young vibe. Good food, but overpriced. Service is pretty bad. And be prepared to wait awhile if you go at peak hours.

    This is a great new place -- can't wait to go back! Cool vibe and really nice staff were out shined only by the delicious food. The Teve (roasted red peppers, red onion, mushrooms, feta, mozzarella, provolone, garlic, and olive oil) was out of this world! The whole wheat crust tasted just as tasty as any regular crust (not sure how much healthier it actually was...but oh well). The waitress told us a gluten free option is on its way too. The mushroom soup was very creamy and reminded me of a cheddar broccoli almost, hearty and smooth for a cold Chicago evening. My friend's Fork and Knifer (traditional BBQ chicken pizza) smelled amazing and the raspberry salad looked wonderful too.

  • Steven F.

    Some of the best bread sticks I've had. Very soft and lofts of dipping sauce. Plus the pizza options are phenomenal. I got the Special K, which was tasty. But was confused by the naming of it on account that Special K is associated with being healthy. The pizza was not healthy (don't know any that are). Only reason for 4 stars is the pricing. They need to get it straight. It's about $21 for a standard medium pizza and then $30 for a large. The mediums feed about two hungry people. Our bill came out to $55 for two people (with beers). With that money you can get a case of beer and two large pizzas from Chicagos. Plus they are competing with State for food options. I went to State last week and got an appetizer, two entrees, and two beers while spending $30. If they want to stay competitive with the other bars in the area, they should work on how they price their items.

    Visiting from out of town. Will go back here when in Lincoln Park again. Definitely for pizza above Lou Malnatis which was insanely slow and over rated. GREAT service here. PIzza was tasty with lots of vegetarian options. The individual pizza with a couple toppings was actually REALLY hearty and we could have ordered just one for two of us for lunch. Kinda like- too much for one, maybe doesn't leave you totally stuffed for two- but two individual pizzas were too much for two of us. Is is RIGHT by the train- so if train rumbing bothers you, this isn't the place- but it's casual and a fun atmosphere. We were from out of town- day was beautiful so they have the window/sliders open so train noise was much more noticable than it likely is with those closed, but it was fun for us because we don't have trains like that where we come from. :) We will definitely be back. There is a patio which we didn't access, but GREAT feature- if you are ok with the train. Loved it here.

    Really awesome guys that own the place, and a unique selection of pizzas. The inside looks amazing with all the woodwork and is such a cool atmosphere! My new favorite pizza place in CHI TOWN! Must check it out. The Mercenary and the Smoke Show are amazing. I plan to try all THIRTY ONE.

  • Alyssa E.

    The pizza here is awesome! It is a wonderful cross between NY style and Neapolitan pizza. The crust has a nice chewy, buttery garlic edge and loaded with toppings. The inside of the pie has a thin base, yet thick enough to hold up to the fresh veggies, meats, and cheese. We tried the Clay Bacon, which had chicken, bacon, diced tomatoes on top of a delicious blend of cheddar and ranch sauce. The second pie we tried was the Ava-Lance., loaded with artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted garlic, mozzarella, provolone, feta, garlic & olive. This was my favorite. I loved the roasted garlic and the artichoke hearts. The reason I knocked a star off is the location. It is in the heart of Lincoln Park and the restaurant is packed with families with little kids and young college kids. Hard to talk with all the noise. Thankfully, the night I went it was nice out and we were able to sit outside. Since they don't deliver I would do pick up and avoid the "scene."

    Stopped here last night for some pizza and beer. Great atmosphere, cool interior and good pizza. The crust is outstanding. The menu is really diverse for a pizza place and the small pizza was plenty of food for me. Nice to be able to grab a couple smalls to try out 2 different pizzas. Pretty good selection of beers as well. I'll be back.

    Really pleased with my experience at Homeslice! Came in with three others for the Blackhawks game on Saturday night. I arrived around 6:20 for a 7:00 game and had to wait just a few minutes for a table for 4. I love the interior of Homeslice, the long wooden tables and log cabin-feel make it comfortable and inviting. As it approached 7:00, the atmosphere quickly turned from families getting an early dinner to a rowdier crowd. Our waitress was as good as you can expect in a very large and crowded bar. She was extremely friendly and helpful when she came by, but sometimes hard to track down. I love how Homeslice has reasonably priced ($6) "side" salads that actually come in a large portion. I had the Sheffield salad that was really tasty, I enjoyed the combo of mandarin oranges, avocado, and the lemon poppy seed dressing. Kara Z. and I shared the small Schira Palin pizza that contained chicken, portabella, spinach, ricotta, etc...and it was fine. Unfortunately, Homeslice's main attraction, pizza, was my only downside to the meal. I thought it totally lacked in flavor, which is odd considering all of the ingredients on top. I really had to douse it in red pepper flakes to get any sort of flavor or kick. That being said, the crust was delicious and this didn't seem to be an issue for anyone with a sausage or pepperoni pizza, chicken might just not be the best option. Overall, I'll stop by if I'm in the area, but will definitely order a different pizza.

    I went to Homeslice last night after hearing great things and was excited to try it. We sat on their back patio which would be a great place to spend a summer evening. It's pretty spacious and has cool lighting. We started with the Mozzarella Bread Sticks which were pretty good, but no better than I remember getting from cheap pizza places in college (pokey sticks, I'm looking at you). We also ordered the Meet Mary. The second they set down the pizza I was disappointed. It didn't look much better than a store-bought pizza. The sausage in particular was thin cut little discs with no taste. As we went to take our first slices we had to be careful as the crust is thin and floppy. The sauce didn't have much taste and the cheese was pretty thing. It just didn't taste fresh. No one was fighting over the leftovers as we were leaving. All in all there are a million better places to get pizza in the city.

    I had heard very positive things about Homeslice, so I was excited to give it a try this past weekend. Our group called in advance to see about making a reservation, we were told they didn't take them but if we arrived before 6 pm we shouldn't have a problem. We took their advice and the hostess gave our group a great area in the back when we arrived. To start we ordered a pitcher of their custom cocktail The Hooch and it was delicious! For apps we had the goat cheese served with breadsticks and roasted cloves of garlic...yum! We also ordered the cheese sticks which were similar to mozzarella pizza bread served with marinara dipping sauce. Both apps were sizable and didn't disappoint. For pizza we ordered a number of options but I tried the Da Duba and Meaty Mary, both were very good but I really liked Da Duba - fresh romas, artichoke hearts, roasted garlic, fresh basil, feta, mozzarella, provolone, garlic & olive oil. Super tasty! The whole time there the staff was very attentive and accommodating. I had a great experience at Homeslice and I will definitely go back!

    I ordered the Jalepeno homies, a calzone and the Mercenary and BBQ chicken pizzas for delivery. The Jalepeno homies: I see what they tried to do: make potato skins...but with jalapenos. It didn't really work. The peppers were still virtually raw and crunchy and they just weren't pleasant to eat. It made me question the adage "everything is tasty with bacon" because raw jalapenos filled with bacon are still raw jalapenos. The calzone was tasty, but pretty mediocre. Nothing special about it, but it wasn't bad. I had mixed feelings about the pizza. The crust was the highlight, prefectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The toppings suffered from the same problem as the jalapeno homies. The BBQ chicken toppings were just boiled chicken, some uncooked canned peppers and diced tomatoes. All thrown on after the pizza was baked. The part that was cooked, the cheese and BBQ sauce, was just...melted. It didn't have the nice golden brown cheese topping I look for in pizza. The Mercenary was better. The chicken was at least baked on the chicken, but still the cheese was just barely melty, not cooked to that nice brown color that makes pizza so good. I didn't like the slices of jalapeno on a pizza, but that's more a personal preference than Homeslice's fault I think. Overall, I'm sure this is a great place if you are in the neighborhood and want to grab a beer. But with unlimited pizza delivery options available in the city, I can safely advise you to cross this one off your list.

    I'm talking about some balling ass, I'm gonna eat until I fall over and take a nap pizza. I've only been once but it has all the right stuff: good food, beer, and ambiance. Service could improve.

    They dont give out "wait times" so the hostess made us feel soooo important by saying "since its only for two, itll probably be a short wait." An hour and a half later we got a table. A communal table, which we specifically opposed to. But we took what we could get, because we were starving. The communal table was fine. Until the nice, sophistication women we were sharing it with left and four obnoxious, profane college bros sat down. Terrible. The pizza took another 45 mins. I refused to order a drink because i was worried i would be disappointed, but everyone else had Moscow mules in their hands. The pizza was fine. nothing special. wasnt good, wasnt bad. The crust was crunchy and sauce was perfect. Unfortunately, the pizza took up the whole table, so we sat there eating over our own pizza without any table space for plates. This is a spot for drunk people in a group of friends. The customer service sucks. We then sat for 15 mins after the waitress took our credit card to run the transaction. I ended up putting on my coat and acting like i was leaving while giving the waitress a mean look to finally force her to pay attention to us. Had to go to State (the bar across the street) to drink away my disappointment. For all the hype, its an average time with bad staff. disappointed.

    Overrated. Trying too hard. Typical. They should have spent more money on making a quality product and less on the log cabin decor. Beer is meh. A lot of meh in this place.

    After I got off work at 10 PM on Friday the boyf and I decide to try out the new place that we've heard great things about. Seated immediately at 10:30 on a Friday night. Our server came by and informs us how he's tired and ready to go home. I understand as I had just gotten off work at a restaurant but this bored, lazy attitude continued throughout our meal. Ordered the breadsticks and goat cheese. They were super flavorful. Boyfriend got a small Meet Mary and I had a small Nate-licious. The pizza I ordered had kalamata olives, feta cheese, whole roasted garlic cloves, etc. yet it was the most bland pizza I have ever tasted. Confused how so many great ingredients could make such an average pizza. Pros: Ambience and decor was cool. Our beers were cold. App was tasty. Cons: Server was inattentive, the pizza was disappointing. Probably won't be back.

    I usually prefer to wait a few weeks or a month before trying out a place that just opened, but I really liked the menu and took a chance. From the look of the place, you can tell the owner (Clay) really went all-out to achieve his log cabin theme. We had a chance to talk to him and get some history on the place. The sticks and goat cheese were a nice starter, with the sauce being very original and flavorful. For pizza we got the Party Boi and Special K. Both offered a unique combination of sauce and toppings. Lastly, the prices seem pretty affordable, given the area this place is in. For 2 pizzas, 2 beers, a soda and an appetizer, our total was just over $50 including tip. The many pizza variations and value alone make this place worth checking out, and returning to.

    It's designed to be "fancy bro", which makes as much sense as a bikini store on the north pole and I was thoroughly unimpressed. $50 for 2 thin crust medium pizzas that frankly had the sophistication and taste of dominos. I just struggled to find positive things to say about the place. One of my fellow diners was overwhelmed by the tvs everywhere which they go a bit over the top with. Wouldn't go back and wouldn't advise it.

    Been to Homeslice twice--once during summer 2013 and once just recently in winter 2014. Both times was with a small group and didn't have a problem getting seated. They have a great text message system where they'll text you when your table is ready. The first time (Friday evening around 7pm) I went, we were told it'd be ~20 minutes, and it ended up being more like 15. We hung around the bar area while we waited and had a drink. The atmosphere seemed jovial, and we had to have a little laugh at the fact that the group of young couples next to us asked their server if the music could be turned down because of "the baby" . . . too funny. The crowd both times seemed relatively young--probably partly because it's in the DePaul U neighborhood. What stood out to me from Homeslice was the pizza (really great--didn't taste too fast food-y or greasy), the breadsticks (the cheese dipping sauce is a.ma .zing..., the design of the restaurant feels lodgy--lots of wood everywhere, and the restrooms are cool (at the women's) and have pennies as the flooring. Of course, there are various screens, but it's not too obnoxious/giant. The service was friendly, and we felt paid attention to as diners. The salads are also pretty good for the price--standard salads and a good portion for the price in my opinion. Will definitely return to Homeslice for a casual meal and/or drinks in the near future because of the quality food and good service.

    This has become my favorite pizza place in the city. Even though it can be a bit pricey for za, the quality of the food and the proximity to my home trumps all. They also have a good beer selection. I would like to see some new beers on the menu, but that is only because I frequent this place. My favorites: bread sticks and goat cheese and the Smoke Show (if you can't handle the heat, you will get burnt). Also, be sure to use the restroom while you're there.

    The gluten free crust here is simply amazing. The best in Chicago I have tried them all. So good, I thought for a second I was accidentally eating a "regular" pizza. Our server even went out of her way to explain to me the caution the kitchen takes with their gluten free pizzas to avoid cross-cantamination. The specialty pizzas offered here are unique and delicious combinations as well, something for everyone. I can't wait to go back and try it again.

    A friend of mine had been wanting to check out Homeslice so we gave it a whirl last week. The weather was amazing so they had the windows open and we snagged a seat right in the sun. It wasn't too busy but it was also around 2 on a Friday. You have to try their cocktails! We each tried one of three cocktails so that we all could get a taste. I had the Pimms Cup which is always a solid choice. I believe we also tried the Logger which I remember liking, but can't quite remember the third. Now onto the most important part, the pizza. And man they have amazing pizza. We opted for the Clay Bacon. I'm not sure what they do to make their crust so delicious but I could not get enough of it. I'm pretty sure its the ranch sauce that brings together the chicken, tomatoes, parsley, onions, cheddar and mozz so well. The three of us split a medium. It was definitely filling enough, but if you are starving you could also order your own small or split a large. Next time I'd like to try one of their salads or an app. I would definitely recommend this place for a Friday or Saturday night as it looks like a great spot for a few drinks. It's also right by State and a few other bars so if you want to keep the night going, you have options!

    I work around the corner from the recently-opened Homeslice. My coworkers and I have been twice for lunch now - the food is VERY tasty and reasonably priced for what you get. The Sheffield salad is KILLER - absolutely delicious and a great start to a meal. The pizza is very good, with a crust that's fairly light and not doughy. The service is decent. Not fantastic, not terrible. The last time we went in my pizza took about 10 minutes longer than the rest of the group's food. I'm not sure what happened, but my waitress came by and told me it was entirely her fault, and that my pizza was on the house! I was surprised - I don't see that kind of responsibility for slow service often, so I was pleasantly surprised and grateful. I felt like they did the right thing. The atmosphere of the place is...fine. It's a little bit much, but whatever. I will definitely be back!

  • Matt L.

    Great addition to the neighborhood. Cannot say enough good things about Homeslice, from the service to the food itself (try the BBQ chicken, bacon and pepperoni pizza and throw some sriracha on there good measure), everything about this place is first class all the way. Beer snobs, this place has a decent but not overwhelming selection of top flight brews. The bathroom also is worth noting here -- on top of being crazy clean, the walls and floor are covered in pennies embedded in the wall. Think of this place as the anti-Barleycorn, a place where adults can go to be adults, enjoying a nice conversation and a great meal. Looking forward to coming back.

    Fantastic atmosphere. Sit on the back patio and in the trailer if you're with a group of 5+. Overpriced but not compared to most pizza joints of this caliber. Great drink selection.

    This place stands out as the classiest, most sociable bar/restaurant in its vicinity. A bunch of us rolled down WebsterStreet after a concert, looking for a good place to hang out and talk, over a beer. We walked past the two Irish bars (one with a DJ!), and forewent the sports bar across the street - and though we weren't sure if it as called "Get Some" (as the pink neon sign proclaims) or "Homeslice" (according to the window sticker), we liked the look. Upscale lodge decor (yes there is such a thing), and a perfectly chill atmosphere - just right! Drinks list was wide-ranging enough, without being intimidatingly long. We had some cocktails that were a little on the weak side, but the very accommodating waiter/owner made things right with a round/shot on the house. Since its a new place, the owners are very open to constructive feedback and looking to please. They're finding their niche, and I think it'll be a good one. Leave the Irish & sports bars for the DePaul undergrads - this place has a nice vibe for grad students and adults, but is priced for everyone. (Didn't try the food, but the second round of drinks was delicious!)

    Friendly staff and the best pizza in town! What can I say, this place has it all! Everything from the plethora of pizza selections, multitude of individual toppings, great salads and a generous draft and can/bottle brew array, it's easy to see why this will be an LP staple for years to come! if that wasn't enough, the staff and guys that own the place bring an awesome vibe and upbeat attitude to their amazing Oregon-homeland-inspired interior. Drop in and try the Mercenary, Knife and Forker or any of the other unmatched 'wheels.' Great location near the L, in a spot that has sat vacant for years and a much needed addition to the neighborhood! Looking forward to many more visits to this original new spot!! PS - A MUST is to drop in for brunch on Saturdays/Sundays...it's a good scene now, but will especially be the place to be once the weather warms up and the sidewalk patio is open

    Ate here with some friends on a Friday night. The food was OK. Nothing we ate was great, but nothing was terrible. The beer list was standard, certainly not too exciting. It is definitely a Depaul hangout. While waiting for my friends, I saw a table of 6 girls eating, not a single glass of wine - probably because they were all 19. Atmosphere is definitely not ideal if you are over the age of 23. All that being said, sitting in the back with the aerobus was very cool. I wish that seating existed elsewhere.

    I went here with a good friend on a Thursday night. The atmosphere was warm and friendly with no wait. The staff were attentive and prompt. The menu had great variety! We had the appetizer of cheesy mozzarella sticks which were more than enough for two. We then split a calzone which was delicious. Prices were more than reasonable. Overall the restaurant was clean and for perfectly in the Lincoln park neighborhood. We'll for sure be back.

  • eric f.

    yes the reason i'm giving homeslice 4 stars is bc they offer gluten free pizza that my friend says is the best she's had in chicago. their regular pizza is also pretty good, but there's really nothing stand-out about their "wheels" (what they call pizzas) - except their stupid/funny names like: mac diesel, funky mcChicken, zephy, and da duba. the decor looks like a faux north woods lodge meets dance club with a touch of sports bar. there's lots of things drenched in shellac (logs, pennies), plenty of big screen TVs playing sports, big mirrored walls with neon light accents, and plenty of pop music fills the air. in the patio out back there's an airstream trailer that's been retrofitted into seating. but when i was there (late friday night) two college co-eds were using it as a make out zone. bc of its proximity to depaul, its filled with lots of college kids, which if you're in the mood, provides a fun cultural-anthropological people-watching backdrop.

    Was in there on Sunday and had a great pizza with my wife. The Avalanche if I remember correctly. The crust was delicious and the ingredients tasted fresh. Service was great also, always quick to bring whatever was needed and quick with a smile. A few cold beers and great pizza, what more could you ask for? Will be back!

  • John E.

    In my mind, one of the top three Italian style pizza restaurants in Chicago. Definitively not a Chicago or New York style pizza---Good Napolitano type crust with innovative toppings-Large selection of variations. Most recently we had the Ava-Lance, a combination of artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted garlic, mozzarella, provolone, feta,and more garlic & olive oil Wine and beer--good selection---maybe a buck too high. Staff is young and energetic. Good combo of positive personal service and professionalism. Crowded at night with some communal tables or tables that can seat eight.. Warm weather an out door area. Winter great-warm and cozy.

    Really good drink options and unique types of pizza. We got the Schira Palin and the Mercernary. Both were delicious. I had the Sparking Jerry as my drink of choice all night. It was sweet but really good. The downsides to this restaurant: The pizza is very pricey. For a medium Mercernary pizza it costed $25. It's not like the pizza had much substance like a Lou Malnatis pizza. They don't take reservations. On a Friday night, we ended up waiting about 1.5 hours. (HOWEVER, once we were seated they gave us free shots of Fireball for "patiently waiting." Also, they have an app that shows you where you are in line and how long you have been waiting. That is probably what kept us from bothering the hostesses.) Overall would recommend for a night out with friends.

  • Cindy R.

    A nice new addition to the neighborhood, very cool interior, makes you feel like you are in river north not on webster. Came in around 8:45 on a Thursday night but got seated right away. Lots of great options for pizza. The price for an 11 inch (serves 1 hungry person or two with a salad) was $11 but a 14 inch was $21, so we opted for two 11 inch pizzas assuming we would take the rest home. The pizza took until 9:30 to show up and we actually had to ask our waitress what was going on, when other people who ordered after us got served prior to us. That was annoying. The pizza was delicious and we will definitely be back but will ask how long the pizza is taking before ordering.

    Would highly recommend grabbing a bite at this restaurant in Lincoln Park. The pizza is phenomenal and offers a wide, unique variety of pizzas and also the option to build your own on white or wheat dough and endless amounts of toppings at your fingertips. Location is great with the brown line stop just a couple of blocks away and a great area to explore shopping or check out DePaul before or after you fill your belly. The spirits range from a variety of beers on tap, wine and cocktails including a few varieties of the very popular Moscow mule in the copper mug!! Yum! The decor is very eye pleasing and well thought out - It is very obvious that the owners put a lot of physical and imaginative work behind it, including the awesome penny covered bathrooms and log tables! Homeslice isn't your typical deep dish, Chicago style pizza (which I LOVE) but offers a more gourmet experience while still extremely affordable. Again, highly recommend stopping in with your friends and family and check out the great food, awesome environment and if you get a chance, like I did, chat with the owners!! Great guys

    The services is amazing here. We've been a few times and we've had awesome waitresses that were friendly and always checked up on us. The pizza and salads are all delicious. Generally the wait is not that bad and they text you when the table is ready. The beer garden is a nice option but it gets a bit loud from the red and brown lines going by right next to it.

    This might be one of my favorite bars in Lincoln Park. Their food is so delicious and you really can't go wrong with any of the pizzas on their menu. My favorite thing about this place is their patio in the summertime. You can order inside and bring the food outside to enjoy with some drinks. The music is great, games are always on, and the service is pleasant. One of my favorite pizza places in the city that's not deep dish. I have yet to try their brunch but heard nothing but good things.

    When planning our trip to Chicago, a friend suggested we go to Homeslice because of their amazing Brunch & Bloody Mary's. I LOVE Bloody's. When we saw that their web address was getsomehomie, we knew it was going to be our kind of place. We arrived shortly after they opened on an absolutely gorgeous Sunday and the place was empty. We were surprised, but asked to be seated outside in the sun. Our server, Allison, was great with a serious Chicago accent. We ordered our drinks, Bloody for me, obvi. MY boyfriend got a cinnamon coffee boozy something or other. It was awesome. And my bloody came with a slice of pizza on top. Seriously? That's awesome. It was perfect; so perfect, in fact, I got another. We decided to split the Breakfast Calzone and the Pulled Pork Hash. The hash was a bit tastier than the calzone, but both were delicious. It wasn't until we were leaving and needed to use the restroom (floor made of pennies - cool!) that we discovered the HUGE outdoor patio in the back - and it was packed. Wish we could have sat out there - seemed like a blast - but I guess that just means we'll have to make our way back to Chicago!

    OMG a delicious lunch option within a block of my work... happy dance happy dance. Although I've been to Homeslice countless times for lunch, dinner and dranks (after work, mind you!) today in particular really hit the spot. A coworker and I split a gluten-free crust pizza (HOLY crap, my life has been changed for-eva!) and a BBQ chicken salad. $12 each, and full + happy. Quality of food, service, music and decor gets five stars. Drink prices and strength of said expensive drinks gets three stars. Hence, four stars for you, Homeslice. I like ya a lot, but throw us a bone and provide some good drink specials for the thirsty and hardworking regular. PS during the summer they have a dog named Gary that regulates the patio. Gary has a dog mohawk sometimes. So awesome.

    A few reasons why this pizza bar is AWESOME: it's the University of Oregon official alumni sports bar goo ducks! The interior is super cool, especially the outdoor heated seating area. The drinks are phenom and the wait is never too long. I went here with a couple friends and we had to get the breadsticks with goat cheese dip. We also ordered a couple pizzas. Had a few cocktails too!

    Homeslice, you had me at beer koozie. Oh and the decor, yes please! I love everything about it and they back it up with a solid pizza. I've only been a couple times, but both times have been enjoyable. Once I sifted through the large (and somewhat daunting) menu, I decided on a pizza that was quite tasty. I also ventured to try an Old Fashioned (because obviously) and decided I would stick to the beer list. A tad more simple and you know it's going to be good because it's beer. All in all, Homeslice is ideal. The service has been great and the decor wins me over. The place specializes in the staples (pizza and beer), but I would not hesitate to try anything else on their menu next time I go back. Because there will be a next time.

  • Nikki V.

    I am absolutely obsessed with everything HOMESLICE! One of the owners, Clay, is a friend of a friend and let me tell you he did it right. All the details in the decor throughout the restaurant and patio are added bonuses to what you will feel when you eat their pizza- even the bathrooms are sweet- yea I said it, GORGEOUS bathrooms! I have visited this fine establishment for brunch, lunch and dinner. I have been there with a large group and as a twosome. There is literally not one bad thing I can say about this place. The service is impeccable- people are happy to be at work, outgoing and quick. The food is amazing- plenty of sauce and topping options for you to choose from and even an option for gluten free crust! Don't let me forget to tell you that the bloody Mary's come with a cold slice of pizza on top- best.idea.ever. They have thought of it all- heated patio for Chicago's crazy weather, the restaurant dog, Gary, to greet you and beer coozies with a bottle beer order- I love a great coozie!

    A rap for Homeslice...imagine Jazzy Jeff beatboxing in the background...a la Prince of Bel Air... Out in Lincoln Park I spent half of a day, On the sidewalk, trotting around with my bebe, Rolling her stroller, walkin' all cool, And always checking her chin, mopping up a little drool. After a couple of blocks, hunger did strike, Started looking around for something I may like, We walked one little block, it was pretty nice, Just down the way to get some Homeslice. I whistled at the interior and grabbed a super tall booth, Grabbed a snazzy menu and sat next to my youth. If anything I could say that this resto was kickin', But I thought nah, forget it, ordered a Funky McChicken. I pulled up to table and dined all hasty, And I yelled to my buddies, "Yo homes, this pizza is damn tasty." Looked at my bill when I was finally done, Breathed a sigh of relief, Homeslice is a home run.

    Homeslice is just what the DePaul campus needed: a solid pizza place in a great atmosphere with excellent service (no more carrying out pizzas from the Dominick's!). The pizzas are not your standard pepperoni and cheese. Let someone else do the thinking for you by choosing from a great variety of specialty pizzas or build your own if you're feeling adventurous. The best part about the pizza here: they offer a gluten-free crust ($3 extra on a small pizza)! The gluten-free pizza was one of the best I've tasted; not super-thin and actually brought back memories of pan pizza style crust. The toppings were also fresh and tasty and not too much sauce which is a plus. Several appetizers, calzones and salads available on the menu (large enough to split among 2 people) in addition to over 20 different types of pizza. The décor is awesome - reminds me of a hip lodge. Awesome bar, penny-covered floors, booth and table seating and good Lincoln Park people-watching are some of the highlights, not to mention very friendly and attentive service. Tip: They don't take reservations and it looks to be a pretty popular spot, so be sure to give yourself some extra time. Also, the chips are not gluten-free (fried in communal fryer). Definitely need to get back there again for some great GF pizza and the recently opened outdoor patio!

    First time at homeslice and it was great. We were waited on by Kimberly, who had great suggestions, and extensive menu knowledge. There was a small mistake on our pizza and she went out of her way to make it right. We will certainly be back for the great service and great food.

    HomeSlice you Rock, State not so much... This is a review of 2 places and my journey of last night.. Started off with checking out Homeslice. Walking into that place was like walking into a pimped out cabin that should be up in the north woods. The place is nice and the pretty ladies working there are nicer, hahaha. Place has a huge beer garden, but the trains going by reminds you that you are in Chicago. Now to the menu, the choices, holy F the choices. You have to see the menu for yourself to truly appreciate the choices. The Garlic Sticks with Goat Cheese and sauce was perfect, with fresh made sticks and really good combination between the cheese and sauce. As for the pizza, I had BENNETT'S BEAUTY (Pepperoni, Italian sausage, Mushrooms, mozzarella, provolone & marinara). Pie was cut into Pie Cut and not that stupid Party Cut that Chicago Thin crust is known for. So this place is trying to pull off the East Coast style pizza but with a thicker crust. I really enjoyed it and will be back. Very good Beer selection and this place pulled it off nicely. So we closed out tab to head over to State to watch the end of the Phils/Cubs game and drink some different beers...

  • Rebecca C.

    This place is great! Their blackened chicken Caesar is one of my favorite things- a very interesting take on a traditional menu item. As far as pizzas, the menu is large so maybe look online head of time. Clay bacon is one of my favorites but they've got such an extensive list it's fun to try a new one! They also have a wide range of typical appetizers like soups and salads, jalapeño poppers, and wings. Their beer list is small but pretty decent choices of craft beers, and they've got a couple great cocktails (sparkling Gerry is my favorite). The atmosphere tends to be loud, especially on weekends, so be prepared to shout over the music a little. They've got a pretty sweet patio setup which includes streetside patios on the south and east side as well as an actual patio area with an airstream trailer behind the restaurant to the north. Can't wait to get over there when it warms up! Sometimes service can be a bit slow during the busier hours, but for the most part their staff is welcoming, efficient, and super friendly. They serve food til midnight, and the staff is always great about letting you walk in at 11:45 as long as you're willing to order fast, a HUGE plus if you work in the service industry (holla)! The vibe is trendy and cool, an elegant play off a northwoods theme without feeling like you are in Will's Northwoods Inn. Make sure you visit the restroom before you leave because the penny-tiled floor is pretty darn cool! This place is definitely worth a stop in my book.

    Five stars because my company wanted to bring in lunch for the few employees that showed up to work today thanks to the 2343242 day of snow we've received. The only place I could find that would take a large order was Homeslice. They had it ready and hot when we picked it up at 11:45AM. Awesome 5-star service with awesome pizza.

  • Mary M.

    I still love Homeslice but was trying to plan a large party there (20 people) so I called to see what the deal would be. In order to reserve a table you need to get a drink package (they start at $35/person for 3 hours) and you can get an optional unlimited pizza deal ($10/person for 3 hours) BUT your party cannot start between 6PM and 9PM on the weekend. They said they would consider negotiating a 2 hour deal but the start time was the real deal-breaker for me. I understand that those are peak hours and that they may be worried about table turnover but I am pretty disappointed.

  • Sunni M.

    So good! The pizza is exactly what I love. It has the perfect amount of crust and topping. I tried pieces from a few different pizzas and my favorite was the Knife and Forkner. The BBQ sauce was really good and topping it off with a little bit of sriracha was perfect. The only reason that this place does not get 5 stars was because of the service. They weren't very friendly nor did they come back after the pizza was delivered. I would have ordered another drink there but there was no opportunity to do so. I think they have a weird system that once the pizza arrives you are now in the busboys hands instead of theirs. Its also pretty loud inside. I normally don't mind and understand that its a Friday night but I could barely hear the conversations of the people around me and I felt that the music was a bit too loud. I recommend this place but maybe not during peak hours!

  • Avery A.

    I don't often give 1 star but this place really disappointed me. A 1 star in my book means that there is no reason to go again other than for drinks. Food isn't worthwhile, service can be spotty, and there are plenty of better options in the direct area. If you're coming here for just a drink, I'd say you're fine. Not a great selection or anything but pretty nice decor/atmosphere. First and foremost, I really did not like the pizza. Toppings, combos, really nothing on the menu that tasted or seemed appetizing. Really and truly disappointed because this place is so convenient for me. Service also was disappointing. We waited 30 minutes after being seated and finally had to ask for a waiter. A waitress filled in to take our order, but the waitress who was supposed to serve us didn't show up until she dropped off our food and then our bill. It felt a bit impersonal and she didn't apologize or mention any part of it.

    I went back after almost a year. Girlfriend and I ordered a Zephy and ate the entire thing in one sitting. I knew I had to give this place another shot, and I'm glad I did! Wonderful place for a specialty pie with lots of great vegetarian options and a solid beer list. Friendly staff, too, and good playlist when we were there. I would give it five, but I guess I just can't do it for a place where I can't get a decent slice of pepperoni. Sorry, personal bias! Girlfriend is picky about crust and didn't think it was anything too special. Anyway, looking forward to enjoying the patio this summer!

    Took my family here for lunch and we were very impressed. We ordered the bread sticks with marinara sauce and goat cheese and it was delicious. The mixed greens salad tasted fresh and the dressing was perfect. The meatless avalance pizza was amazing as well. The crust was crunchy and light, and the service was great. I definitely want to come back and try some other pizzas!

    We've been here twice and both times eaten really well. We have also had super friendly and attentive waiters. On our last visit, there was a little problem with my pizza, which we mentioned to our server. It was not enough to send the pie back, although he did offer, but definitely worth a mention. When he brought us our bill, he informed us that his manager had told him to comp not only our pizza, but our salad as well! I did not think that my issue was that serious, but it seems the manager (and waiter) really wanted us to go away with a positive outlook on the place, which we absolutely did. I highly recommend this spot!

    I've dined in as well as ordered delivery from Homeslice multiple times. I love the rustic cabin like decor with the upbeat atmosphere. Every item I've ever ordered has been fantastic. The bread sticks and goat cheese are so delicious. They have a pretty sweet patio and great thin crust pizza. Additionally, they have the best gluten free crust I've ever eaten. They don't take reservations and can get busy but I've been seated before the predicted time every single time I've been there. A good selection of cocktails and beers. Definitely worth a stop in.

    The stone-baked pizza dough is certainly good, although anyone who uses "best ever" as an adjective here clearly has a tendency for hyperbole--or needs to eat more pizza. And while the menu is lengthy for a pizza joint, I still found it lacking a variety of toppings. Perhaps the restaurant is simply trying to cater to the protein-obsessed, post-gym crowd, but there is no need to put chicken on everything and then ignore nearly all of the far superior Italian cured-meat toppings (fair warning: you won't find prosciutto anywhere on this menu). That being said, you can definitely do worse than their pepperoni and sausage. Ultimately, it is the atmosphere of this place that shines most, namely their well-designed and inviting patio. I could lounge here all afternoon on a summer day (and have done so) intermittently ordering pizza and pitchers until my heart's content. The patio can fill up, though, specifically with a crowd that feels like a more grown-up version of what you would find across the street at State, so there's a possibility you may have to wait if you want one of the better tables.

    I've always thought Homeslice had good pizza with a somewhat unique menu and good atmosphere, but today I was blown away by their level of service. I placed an order for delivery (feeling kind of bad that someone would have to go out in this tundra), and ended up having my pizza delivered by the owner. Apparently, their delivery service canceled due to the terrible weather, so the owner came to my house to deliver the pizza. That is someone who is dedicated to their customers, and their business, and that is the type of business that I want to frequent.

    Homeslice is pretty solid. Pizza is always good and pretty well priced with a lot of different topping options. Have had a good experience all but one time - if you have a choice, don't get sat in the hollowed out trailer in the back. We were sat there and our waitress forgot about us.. visited the table twice; once to take our drink orders, and once to drop off the bill.We waited for 20 minutes to get our 2 pitchers of beer we ordered, and another 10 minutes to get more cups (they dropped off 2 glass for 6 people to apparently share 2 pitchers of beer) It was a busy night, but that was unfortunate. All in all, very pleased with Homeslice and will continue to eat here.

    We came in search of food at 9pm during the Coldpocalypse. They had food, and it was good. Plus great music, the Roots, Citizen Cope, Stateless and more. The bartender/server Jennifer was super friendly and accommodating. The coffee was delicious and brewed fresh for me. One or two of the beers was free! That also was because of the really nice manager guy, whom we witnessed let four stragglers in after close for a round of beer to warm up. The atmosphere is chic Log Cabin. I am a big fan, and am glad we stumbled in here. I will return fa sho.

    On New Year's Day at 6 p.m., my former college roommate and I found ourselves walking around Lincoln Park in search of a bar where we could do some catching up. We peaked into three bars, the noise level was akin to a club on a Saturday night. Finally, we wandered into Homeslice...and dammit, the vibe was perfect! The buzz in the air was palpable and the music selection was clutch, but the place wasn't trying to blast it in your ear to manufacture a feeling of popularity that wasn't there. My buddy and I sat at the bar. We quickly made friends with the bartenders Guilme and . I ordered some tequila on the rocks, my buddy ordered a beer on tap. The beer selection was rock solid: Over the next 3 hours, the bartenders were very friendly with us as we bought a healthy amount of alcohol: shots and otherwise. Let's just say that by 9 o'clock we felt like we were The garlic bread was delicious! And very good for keeping the vampires away. Worth nothing also is that all of the, ahem, employees were very good looking here. So be sure to check that out if you go. Guys AND girls. I have plans to be a regular here. In conclusion, the service is great the food is great, the beer selection is good. Be sure to check it out if you are in the area!

    Golly, I'm starting to feel like an old stick in the mud. I've 3-starred a couple of places lately that everyone else is 5-starring. Well, I gotsta be me. Homeslice has a cool atmosphere and good prices. They dust their pizza crust with cornmeal. So, essentially, it's Pizano's in a log cabin. I saw a couple of salads being delivered. They were fresh looking and enormous. It's a decent place. I just don't get the breathless raving.

  • Mallory S.

    I really wasn't impressed with their pizzas. The Bennett's Beauty was pretty standard. it definitely wasn't NEAR one of the best I've had. Drinks were meh. I hated the whiskey tango which tasted like orange chewable medicine. I got it replaced though. I loved the log cabin ambiance. There are definitely a lot of seating options for a large group. Service was slow but it was a hawks game night. There are a bunch of tvs to watch the game. I'd return and order a different pie.

    Went on a Friday evening around 7:30 p.m. We got in pretty quickly (table for 2). We sat inside, pretty cool atmosphere inside and outside. That's something I think people get caught up too much on. We ordered the goat cheese sticks which were pretty good especially since I just discovered goat cheese as of lately. Then we ordered two small pizzas, Special K and the funky mcchicken. Neither seemed to have much flavor, I actually thought they were better cold the next morning, haha. Service was kind a bad, hardly came by for re-fills. Also was not impressed by the beer options, but it's on the Depaul campus so it doesnt take much to impress.college kids with beer. Basically, there are a lot better pizza options in the city. I might try again, will go for the bbq chicken next time.

    My husband and I elected to try this spot out based off a recommendation from a hotel staff member. He and my husband hit it off because my husband was wearing a shirt of his favorite college football team, the Oregon Ducks. Apparently this hotel staff member was also a fan and directed us to Homeslice as it is a favorite hang out for Ducks fans during Duck games. Unfortunately, we weren't staying in Chicago through the weekend so we didn't have the opportunity to experience a Duck game there. However, we did feel it was worth a visit. The menu is pizza heavy though there are other options as well such as various appetizers (did not try any), calzones and salads. We ordered one of the pizzas and though good, we weren't knocked off our feet. The beer selection was not too impressive either, unfortunately. I also expected to see more TVs and seating options to view the TVs. We did elect to visit Homeslice during an NFL game and a College fooball game, so we definitely wanted to have a good view of the TVs. It appears that very little of the patrons were interested in football, and were often times standing right in the way of my view. Anyway, it appears as though this restaurant is a popular hang out for young people who are just looking to drink heavily and in my opinion, be oblivious to other patrons. Overall, Homeslice was okay, but we weren't impressed. Another notable disappointment was the desert menu. What desert menu? The waitress informed us that they had frozen deserts; snickers, rice crispy treat, and I don't recall the other one. There were only three. My husband asked for the snickers desert and it was actually just an ice-cream snickers that you can purchase at the store for 6 bucks a box. Ridiculous. Not a repeat for us.

    Delicious pizza, cool atmosphere. Plus, the backdoor patio is perfect in summertime. The Lew-Wow (hawaiian) pizza was crispy and delicious, I got a free koozie with my beer, and I immensely enjoyed the company of Gary the french bulldog. Doesn't get much better.

    Stopped in last night around 9:30. Still pretty crowded and the hostess told us we would have to wait 40 min for a table. We decided to stick it out. Good thing, because we were seated within 10 min. Ordered the mozzarella breadsticks and the chicken and jalepeno pizza. Both were delicious. And reasonably price for dinner in the area.

    Solid addition to the neighborhood! The place is pretty big, and has a good vibe. It's less casual than you would think for a pizza place (that's Lincoln Park for you), but it's cool and the pizza is good! I consider it the Lincoln Park version of Piece Pizza. There are a ton of topping options and great beer options (served out of cans which goes against the not casual theme, but that's ok). I am a definite fan of this place, and have already been a few times.

    Homeslice was great. A friend of mine and I were visiting Chicago over Memorial Day weekend and had one phenominal meal experience after another; Homeslice was no exception! We arrived for dinner on Saturday evening around 6:30. It was busy but our wait was still only around 15-20 minutes, which was surprising for what seems like a popular new spot. The restaurant itself had a really unique design with rustic finishes (glossy wooden tables and stacked log dividers) but somehow still felt clean and modern. Drinks were served in interesting glasses that reminded us of mason jars (but less kitschy). The staff was friendly and attentive. I had the "Mercernary" pizza in the small size, which was more than plenty for one person. It came topped with blackened chicken, pepperoni, diced tomatoes, sour cream, jalapenos, and a blend of cheeses. I am a big fan of spicy food and they were extremely generous with the jalapenos. It may not have been the classic deep dish experience that everyone told me I need to have during my stay in Chicago, but this was definitely one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Bonus points for the huge menu and variety of options... you could eat here all the time and never run out of new things to try. Also be sure to check out the bathrooms before you leave. The floor and walls are completely covered in pennies under a glossy shellac coating.

  • Brady H.

    Super delicious!! I am so happy this place opened up in my neighborhood and we order out from there about every other week. We've only ate in a few times - the decor is log cabin bizzare - but that does not detract from the yummy-ness of the pizza. The crust is delicious - thin with a bit of a crunch. For take-out, there is a door in the back and you pick up the pizza from the kitchen. Sometimes parking isn't easy, but I've had good luck parking in the alley with the blinkers.

  • Krupa A.

    Meh. The atmosphere is nice, but the pizza's definitely hyped up. It's hard finding great thin crust pizza moving from NY. The beers on tap, however, are really good. This place gets really busy so just plan accordingly. This is a fun place to go to hang out with friends and socialize, since it's usually packed.

    Yes Homeslice, you are a homerun... cheesy I know but I just love this place! This place is HUGE and there is a great back patio. I went on a Sunday afternoon and was sat immediately. Our waitress was really friendly and explained that each pizza came with or without anything we wanted. I had the white pizza which was delicious! The sundried tomatoes were perfect. I found the Party Boi pizza to be a bit too greasy for my taste, but my boyfriend loved it. The crunchy and thin pizza crust went well with all of our toppings. We had two beers, two small pizzas, and the bill was $44.50 including tip. I will return to Homeslice soon because I regret not trying the goat cheese breadsticks and the bloody mary everyone raves about!

    I was amazed by the interior as I walked into this pizza joint. Coolest decor ever.. :O Cool mirrors and other shiny things on the walls, tall wooden tables, cool chairs, best bathroom ever, and just everything in general that you see ties the whole place together. Although not the standard Chicago deep-dish pizza you might be looking for, this place offers a wide variety of different combinations of pizzas. We ordered bread sticks (w/ marinara and goat cheese) which was awesome. The dip was a nice mix of crumbled cheese with a kick of marinara. We also ordered a Boyler room, which is your standard pepperoni. The Knife & Forkner was also pretty good, though very indulgent in meats. If that's your type, go for it! It was still great, although I'm not a fan of meat overload. Service was perfect -- our server explained everything very thoroughly to us and recommended the appetizer, which we were very happy with. Definitely recommend, especially with friends or others! The place is pretty loud and happening so it's a great place to come eat and socialize. :)

    What better way to spend the warm day out than to enjoy Pizza al fresco with your friends? HomeSlice had such a quirky ambiance to it with the trailer diner and the Be Awesome sign. The pizza was definitely one to try. It was sinfully delicious. Only comment was it took a long while for our orders to be served. We've downed the whole pitcher of ale and the food still wasn't ready.

    I thought this was silly to have Portland style pizza in Chicago but this is some great food. The staff is super good every time-They obviously didn't just hire whoever was available.

    Keeping this short and sweet because there is not one thing bad to say! All you need to know is to go check out this place ASAP!! Great service, great drinks, great food and awesome decor. The ambiance of this place is awesome inside and outside on the patio. The interior I would call rustic chic...all of the wood inside is imported from Oregon and is tastefully done. The options for pizza are endless! You can create your own or select one of their combos which are great. It was hard to order just one! I got the Knife and Forkner--awesome! This place also has Moscow Mules in copper cups--that earned some BIG bonus points in my book. You wouldn't believe how many places I've been in this city that do not serve that drink! You absolutely MUST check out the bathroom while you are there as well. The bathrooms feature an all penny floor and accent wall. Uhh--talk about some serious attention to detail! Well done!!! This is my new go-to pizza joint. Prices are totally reasonable! Can't wait to try out their brunch! Stop reading and go to Homeslice....NOW!!!

    Should be 5 stars as the food was great on our first visit, however after seeing a movie we tried to go with some friends and they wouldn't make us pizza as the kitchen closed at 11, but it was 10:45. Growing pains for a new business i guess

    We went to Homeslice on a Tuesday Evening and shared a table with a couple. The windows were all open to the elements, we had a short ran shower while dining but no rain came through and everyone was having a really good time. The Pizza was Excellent in every way. Loved the ingredients and the Menu was built with much shanzz. The wait staff was beautiful and the food was wonderful. Would recommended this place to anybody who enjoys a lovely atmosphere as the establishment itself is a piece of artwork. This location also had patio seating which is a huge plus for me.

    Whoever did the interior design for for Homeslice, A + . This place has an awesome atmosphere throughout. The bar along the back wall was great, we got served almost instantly and they had a good selection of craft beers. We were a group of 8 on a Saturday night so I was prepared to hangout for a long time. They accommodated us after only 20/30 minutes and we had probably the best seat in the house. Off their main dining/bar area there's this back room/beer garden area with the shell of an old fashion silver mobile home. We sat at a big booth inside the 1 end of the mobile home. The lighting was perfect, the music was good, and it was really comfortable. The best thing we ordered was probably the bread sticks and goat cheese appetizer. The service was awesome, props to our waitress who knew how to handle a group of 8 20 something year old's. I would have given 5 stars if I would have been more impressed by the pizza, but I will most definitely be back for the atmosphere & libations.

    The pizza and atmosphere are good but the service is horrible. This is our third visit. The first time, after we were seated, we didn't get a server. I spoke to the manager but after 20 minutes we just ordered from the bar. The second time was an ok experience, nothing special. Tonight we were seated and got drinks right away, ordered our pizza, and then 90 minutes later it showed up. In short, unfortunately the pizza is not good enough to make up for the poor service.

  • Scott O.

    The pizza here is some of the best thin crust pizza I've had in the city. We ordered the Mac Diesel and it was fantastic. We also had an order of the mozzarella bread sticks and the mozzarella was baked on the outside and inside of the bread so it was gooey and cheesy and wonderful. I would love to give this place a higher rating but the bottom line is you have to be a certain type of person to enjoy this place and I am not it. It is filled with tv screens everywhere all playing sports. If you want to talk to the people you are dining with, forget it. We happened to go there on the night of a Blackhawks playoff game (you know, hockey, the sport no one ever talks about or cares about unless their home team is in the playoffs) and the woman next to us screamed as loud as possible at every single play. Her boyfriend/husband (who was wearing the required Blackhawks jersey) actually looked embarrassed by her and I heard him say to the server to please bring the check because he needed to get her out of here. If you're in to sports and not paying attention or talking to your dining companions, this is your place. I'd check and see if they have takeout because, if you're not in to sports and people acting like fools, then get a pizza to go because you don't want to miss out on the excellent food in the less than excellent atmosphere.

  • Reid G.

    Can't give it 5 stars because the service can be a bit slow to reload drinks and the lighting at night is a bit too dim. That said, it's a spectacular addition to the neighborhood. Fits a much unfilled Depaul neighborhood demand for casual dining with solid, reasonably priced food. Plus, kudos to you for giving away koozies with your canned beers (and free advertising). My pizza preference so far - the Knife and Forker.

    Great new spot in LP, and Chicago in general...brings a cool, fun flare to pizza and the pizza dining experience with a space like no other in Chicago. The Knife and Forker might be the best BBQ chicken style pizza I've ever had. And wait for it, their soups are dynamite too. Great beer selection with killer glass jars as your drinking "vessel", friendly staff, inviting and warm space with nice modern hints of copper and shimmer. Will be a regular spot no doubt.

    Went for our third time with our two grown sons, their wives and our four grandkids, ages 10, 7, 6 and 3. Came early on a Sunday night (4:45) and scored an outside picnic bench. Our server, Matt, started out strong taking our drink orders and bringing coloring stuff for the kids. The pizzas, as always, were excellent. After the meal was served Matt's level of service took a nosedive. Second round of drinks took forever. When we were done eating, the busboys cleaned up promptly, but Matt was nowhere to be seen. He finally reappeared and I flagged him down to get the check. He got it in a fairly expeditious manner but once again disappeared. After waiting 10 minutes I got up and went inside to try to track him down to pay- no luck. I finally asked the cashier if I could pay her and she said "sure" so I paid her. Despite his disappearance I still left Matt a $20+ tip, but it would have been $30- $35 if he hadn't deserted us. Bottom line, still great pizza, great service twice, crappy service once= 4 stars.

    Walked in last night w/Kids and had fantastic MEal! Design: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Price/ Value: 5/5 Food Look: 5/5 Food Inventiveness: 4/5 Crowd: 5/5 Drink Variety: n/a This is definitely a great NEW spot that will be perfect for locals who want to grab some excellent pizza, up-to-date cocktails and a great scene. THe staff is super attentive, and the food variety is set so there is food you are familiar with but also lots of customization possible ensuring a great meal. THe Drink List wasn't out yet but had a fantastic Moscow Mule & saw the "Creamsicle" in a cool Mason Jar like glass. Everyone was smiling through out the service- Managers, Servers and even the Bussers (a rare thing these days). It seemed like there was a great attitude, fun atmosphere and even better food. Looking forward to the weather warming up to be outside but the bitter cold of last night was cut by the incredible warm atmosphere from the design and the staff. NOt a Beer/College but a young fresh scene that is to be embraced by those enjoy great food, fresh design, good looking smiling faces and just a great place to relax.

    If (er, when) I open my wildly successful pizza restaurant, this is going to be the precise pizza style I specialize in. That's the soft yet crispy-bottom crust and spinach/ricotta pizza sauce that come together to make the golden flavorful pizza that I'm referring to. Obviously I ordered mine with a medley of mushrooms and proceeded to eat every bite of my "small" pie until I was so full of pizza I could almost touch the boot. It was so good and happened so fast that I had wished I had gotten a large. I will be back for many pies because I am in love!

    When I ordered my calzone, I got exactly that. I ordered the Smoked Ham & Avocado calzone, "The best one we had!" They were definitely right. Sitting right next to a wide open window exposed to the bustling streets of Chicago, everything on their menu was fitting. The interior was exquisitely designed for any occasion. The theme was very unique and because the place is brand new, the furniture smelled like it had just been crafted as the smell of the wood gently filled the room. Pennies covering the walls and floors of the bathroom was pretty unique as it fit the log theme.

    Went here on a Sunday night around 6:00 and got a table immediately. The inside has a relaxed and comfortable feel, neighborhood bar/restaurant. We ordered a Cesar to start followed by a medium BBQ Chicken Pizza. The Cesar salad was a good size and the medium pizza was enough for two people, with leftovers. The beer is served in a mason jar type glass which I liked, and the selection was good.

    Pizza here was just ok. I would strongly suggest you go to piece instead if you have the option. Pizza is slightly above average. I'd give this a 3.5 in total. Not really clear what's special about this place.

    This is one of my favorite bars in Chicago. First off, the food is reasonably priced and frighteningly delicious. I suppose have to put on disguises so that the carryout staff don't recognize me for the amount of times I frequent that part of the restaurant could be deemed embarrassing. They have a wonderful selection of draft beers and their cocktails are DIVINE (try the Mule with whisky and nix the vodka and you won't be disappointed). Best part - the staff are amazing. Our servers, bartenders, and host staff are always extremely helpful, quick, and pleasant. Last night in particular, our host was AMAZING and super kind. Unfortunately there seemed to be some miscommunication about playing the Hawks game on the big screen, and we ended up getting a free round of fireball to cheer us up. I hope the hostess wasn't reprimanded for this, as she was a complete delight. Good work, Homeslice!

    I stopped in last night for some pizza and a few beers. Wow, this was the best pizza I can remember having. They offer all sorts of specialty pizza plus the option to order however you like it. Great beer selection, cool menu, and the log cabin decor make it a fun spot. I will return soon.

    I usually don't write posts on yelp (actually... never have and should probably more often) but I had such a great experience there I felt like I needed to. First of all I will admit that I am in the restaurant industry myself and that might have had a lot to do with why I enjoyed my time there so much. The staff was really friendly and approachable, and I (at least am pretty sure) that either the owner or the manager took time out of his day to come talk to us to see what we thought of the experience. For the food- it was great! It's nice to get away from the normal bar food in that area to a nice higher end pizza place. Beer list was exceptional as well. Overall I had a really nice time and I expect to visit this place often.

    Homeslice is a neat place to grab great food and drinks. The place is located in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. If driving there is street parking available. Homeslice is decorated pretty neatly. The theme is based on tree logs. Tables, booths, and bar have tree logs all around. The bathrooms are neatly decorated with pennies all over (floor, walls and ceiling). The food is very good with great taste. One can taste they are using the freshest ingredients. Items ordered: pizza, yucatan lime with chicken soup, smoked ham and avocado calzone. The food was brought out timely. Waiting for a table was not too bad but be prepared to wait for a long time specially if visiting during weekend. The waiting area is very small so I would recommend walking around the neighborhood (there are plenty of shopping places) while waiting (unless it is winter). Besides having great tasting food it is also a great value. It is best for groups. The place is loud so be prepared to speak up in conversations. As if food, location, decor weren't great already...per Homeslice's packaging it is endorsed by the Green Restaurant Association ( dinegreen.com ).

    So happy to see some new life in my neighborhood that isn't just another replica of the same old wanna be Irish bar for the college crowd! I went for dinner and drinks with a few friends last weekend and we had a great time. started out with the Standard Mule which came in the proper copper mug. We ordered a lot of small small pizzas so we could try out of few of the different options. Stand outs were the "Knife and Forkner" and the "Clayboy". The menu is fun and creative and makes me excited for the next time we go back. We have so many great pizza options in Chicago and this place is right at the top of the list. I particularly like the crust, its light and has good flavor and the toppings don't slide off (sorry Roots Pizza). The decor is beautiful, and the staff is super friendly without being too in your face. We were there during one of the final four games and my fiance was happy that they were showing the game and even turned the game sound on in the last few minutes since the score was so close. One of the managers was walking around and talking to tables and he told us the game was sort of a special occasion because of march madness and pointed out this beaded curtain that drapes over a couple of the tv screens so that they can hide them when they don't have a good reason to have them on. All in all its a great new addition to the neighborhood, we'll be back.

    This place is a breath of fresh (Northwoods) air in the midst if a bustling city. Great decor, great service, satiating and innovative pizza. This is now my neighborhood go to! p.s. The mozzarella sticks are unexpectedly mouthwatering!

  • Ryan R.

    This place is totally awesome. The food, the service, and the ambience of this new restaurant is unlike any other. When you walk in, you will be impressed. We ordered the breadsticks with goat cheese marinara for our appetizer and then had the pepperoni and the "clay bacon" pizzas as our entrees. We were NOT disappointed. Again, great food, excellent service, and you will love the look and feel of this place. Well done....we will be back soon!!!

    The atmosphere is great and the pizza is delicious! I especially appreciate that they serve Great Lakes Christmas Ale. The pepperoni pizza was so yummy! At times the music was too loud to have conversation or hear the waitress. Other than that, great experience!

    The decor & atmosphere of this restaurant is just awesome. A nice change to a neighborhood full of sports bars that serve ok food. Homeslice had a great variety of apps, salads & damn good pizza! We had the funky chicken which my husband proclaimed to be one of the best pizzas in the city. The staff was super friendly & attentive and very accommodating to my 1 year old son. A great dining experience overall & looking forward to coming back!

    This was my first visit to Homeslice and despite high hopes I left very disappointed. We were seated quickly but it took over 10 minutes for our waitress to come to our table. The condiment tray had dirty napkins crumpled in it and it had no parmesan cheese. I asked for someone to bring us a parm shaker and it was never brought to our table. When we finally got our pizza, the Mercenary, it was DRY. Like another Yelper mentioned, the pizzas sound creative but the final product does not deliver and the flavors don't blend at all. The crust, however, was tasty. In an atttempt to salvage our pizza, we asked for a side of marinara sauce. The sauce tasted like it was store-bought and when we got our check they actually charged us for it!! We finally realized why our server was so inattentive when I saw her sitting down at a table in the corner talking with other people (maybe other staff?). Sorry, Homeslice! We won't be back!

    I'm soo excited that I found this place! I am a pizza connoisseur, I love it and only appreciate the best. I definitely found it at Homeslice. The restaurant is very unique and has a very nice patio to enjoy the beautiful weather while eating. The menu is full different amazing varieties that step outside the norm for pizza. Just reviewing the menu is a lot of fun with so many choices. I decided to have the Special-K which includes- Italian sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, red onions, mozzarella, provolone, Parmesan and a delicious spinach ricotta sauce. The flavors harmonize perfectly all in one bite. The prices are reasonable for such gourmet pizza. You can also build your own pie, which is what I plan to do on my next visit. There service was great, I went on a Friday night and was impressed it with how got my order. This is definitely a great place for pizza fans that want something different from the norm and for great prices.

    It's only been open a week or so and since it's down the street we decided to give it a try. Great prices, pizza, and drinks. I love that they offer portions on salads in addition to pizza sizes. We had two of the pizzas and one of them we opted for the wheat crust. Both were excellent. Beers and wines were great as well. Plus the decor is amazing. Oregon inspired, the log cabin, community feel makes you almost think you're in Aspen (with big screen TVs to boot). And the owners are so friendly. One of them took the time to ask how our meal was and told us they are hoping to get a permit for outside seating (so if you live in Lincoln Park, email your alderman and tell him/her you want tables outside because this place is bound to pick up once summer hits). Such a wonderful addition to the neighborhood and I can't wait to go back again and bring friends. Seriously, go check it out now before it ends up on Check Please!

  • Emily B.

    I went with 4 stars for this one as the pizza (not the apps) and beer selections definitely win out over my frustrations with service and the most ridiculously loud patio I have ever encountered. We waited over an hour for hour food when the server finally came out to admit she'd lost our ticket and was just putting it in. The manager came to talk to us and gave us an order of chips and salsa (sub par) to hold us over and mentioned a discount. Pizza finally came and the cornmeal crust definitely distracted us for awhile, until the bill with only a 20% discount came along, leaving us with a sour taste.

    Super cute ambience. Very cozy on a rainy night. Great beer selection. Pretty good pizza. They do not go light on the toppings, so that's a huge plus. I will definitely be going back!

    Excellent service and very delicious pizza. The outdoor patio is a fun place to sit and the atmosphere inside is inviting. The only annoying part was me and my guest were at a table for 4 out on the patio enjoy our time together and the waitress brought another party of 2 and sat them right next to us at our table about halfway through our meal. We found that very awkward, uncomfortable, and ruined the rest of our intimate dining experience. I do not like communal seating while dining.

  • Marc P.

    We've been to Homeslice many times over the past several months. While the pizza is always excellent, for a change of pace try the Calzones. The Smoked Ham and Cheese Calzone is truly exceptional. For those of you who have been to France and enjoy Croque Monsieurs, this Calzone from Homeslice is a very close resemblance.

  • Eddie O.

    If you're going to charge $25+ for a medium pizza, it better be pretty f'ing unbelievable. The pizza I had, The Mercenary, had the makings of a spectacular pizza. And in fairness, the ingredients were fresh and well balanced. The issue was the crust. It was ROCK hard. I understand that restaurants have a bad nights from time to time, but this was my second visit and second disappointing pie. Again, I could look past a lot of things but when you're charging people through the nose, you better deliver one hell of good pie.

  • Timothy P.

    I had a good experience at my first time at Homeslice Wheel House. I had the Knife & Forkner pizza, which had barbecue sauce in place of tomato sauce. It was a good and different type of pizza. When I had to pay my waiter was on the other side of the restaurant eating, so I called over another employee to say I was ready for the check.

    This is the third time I have been there and it's good. I eat gluten-free and it's one of the best around. The only issue is that it is not consistent. Tonight is Saturday so it was busy but my pizza was way undercooked. Definitely disappointed as I had to put it in the toaster at home.

    I came here last week with my boyfriend and it was great! Our server was very nice and explained the menu and pizza sizes. The pizza maybe the best I've had in the city! (I'm not a deep dish fan) I loved the thin crust! Delish! I can't wait to try more of their pizzas :)

    This place is awesome. I have been a few times and am sold. Their salad selection is great and the pizzas I've tried are awesome too. Everything is super fresh and made to order. The waitstaff is friendly and I really appreciate a bar/restaurant that has working owners. The owners were delivering beers to tables and chatting up customers the whole time I was there. Can't wait to go back!

    I just created a yelp account so I could sing the praises of Homeslice...my experience was that good. From the friendly dude on the phone when I called to confirm how late the kitchen would be open to the nice hostess to the smiling busboys, everyone I encountered was wonderful. Which leads me to my waitress Erin: she could NOT have been more friendly or helpful. She pointed out several favorites on the menu & seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the food. Which brings me to... The food: delish Their unique take on garlic bread is my new favorite thing. Thinly sliced, lightly toasted bread, roasted head of garlic, gorgonzola spread. SO GOOD I had the Sheffield salad, perfectly dressed, one of the best salads I've ever had (hello: avocado!) Atmosphere: one of the main reasons I wanted to check Homeslice out was because I'd heard about the decor: log cabin/lodge inspired yet modern. I love design & am a sucker for anything lodge-esque. It is so well done...really, really cool. Tree-trunk table tops, warm, cozy feel, mod-ish hanging light fixtures. And the ladies room is tiled w/hundreds of pennies...floor AND walls! The coolest. And finally, I'd like to discuss the MUSIC. This is equally important to me in a dining destination as food, & Homeslice knocked this out of the park as well. They were playing ROCK & ROLL!! Hoooorayyy! No terrible, generic house music, no insipid pop, straight up rock. I heard The Raconteurs, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, & Spoon. Great, warm sound system, perfect volume. One more thing: Pepsi! (I love Coke, too, but Pepsi *is* my preference) Homeslice, I LOVE YOU!

    They have Widmer Hefeweizen on tap! Served with a lemon, it's a great beer found mainly in cities in Oregon. And the pizza was excellent--crust perfect--and the two smalls we tried--meat one: Knife and Forkner and vegetarian one: Zephy both had great flavors. And loved having leftovers as they tasted great cold too! Owners nice guys to talk to. They should be allowed to have a sidewalk cafe which the neighbors are fighting. It's for locals of all ages as I'm middle-aged and fit right in.

    Checked out the new neighborhood spot last night and I was pleasently surprised. There has been nothing in this location for some time, so I had great hopes for Homeslice. It surpassed anything I could have hoped for. Pizza and salads are amazing, and good beers to boot. This style of pizza is lacking in the city, and the places taht do have good thin crust lack great ambiance and just aren't a place that you want to hang out. Homeslice covers all of that with great food and great log cabin decor. Like the sign says in the front window, I can't wait to "get some" soon.

    Just tried the new neighborhood pizza joint and it definitely exceeded my expectations. Very cool vibe inside and the staff was incredibly friendly. The pizza was awesome, but I was so excited about the salad options. Love that they offered more than the typical "lettuce, tomato, onion". So many options I can't wait to go back.

  • Clare W.

    Very happy to see this pop up in the neighborhood. The pizza is amazing and the menu is big enough to please everyone. I've tried it twice so far. First time I wasn't thrilled as we ordered takeout which was probably not the best idea. The pizza wasn't very warm by the time we got home (obviously, we are a few blocks away) and we ordered the breadsticks that were supposed to come with goat cheese and marinara... however they forgot to give us the goat cheese so all we had was the breadsticks which was definitely disappointing. Regardless, I decided to go back because the ambiance seemed fantastic and I wanted to try a hot pizza. Blown away by the za and breadsticks (this time with goat cheese) we ordered. Crust was perfect and our waitress was wonderful. The wine I had was delicious and all in all I thought the experience was great. I will definitely be back to taste more on the menu. Yum!

    Just went here tonight for dinner. Amazing service! Was greeted when I went in and he offered us a high top table in the front - seemingly reading my mind he asked if I would rather not be seated near the door and I said I would. He said not a problem we want to make sure you are happy. I was happy already. Then he proceeded to show me to a booth in the back. It was a perfectly fine booth but it was near the kitchen and we couldn't really feel the ambiance of the restaurant, so I totally bugged him again and he moved us back to the front high top table. He was completely friendly and patient and wasn't annoyed with my indecision. On to the food. I got a beer and my friend got a soda. Our waitress was great, very friendly and always made sure my friend's soda was refilled if it got low without asking. We ended up ordering a lot for the two of us. The bread with goat cheese, the caesar salad and then I got the small knife and forker and she got a small veggie pizza - I think the zephy. The caesar salad is one of the best I have ever had really liked the dressing had sort of a kick to it and the dressing wasn't drenched on the salad. The bread sticks and goat cheese was also really really good - the breadsticks just came out of the oven and were hot as was the marinara goat cheese sauce. I got my pizza based on a recommendation and I was not disappointed. I was worried the bbq sauce would be too sweet or overpower the pizza and it did not at all. It perfectly complimented all of the flavors. I also loved that they give you red pepper flakes ahead of time without asking - I like my pizza spicy. My friend really liked her pizza too although I did not try it. Love the decor too, different from anything I have seen in chicago. I will definitely be going back to homeslice and soon! Great pizza!

  • Jenny O.

    I was really disappointed in this place. My boyfriend and I waited for an hour and 20 mins before being seated. The only positive was the owner gave a free shot of fireball due to the long wait. Many people walked out because the hostess never gave a time estimate... Just "five parties in front if you". To be honest, I really didn't care for the food much either. The pizza was okay and we ordered breadsticks to start which came with awful marinara sauce.

    Great new little neighborhood gem. Wonderful outdoor patio, very cool penny floor bathrooms, amazing decor and nice service. The food is unique, so don't go in thinking you are getting a 'normal' pizza they all have something 'gourmet' on them. Prices aren't terrible.

  • Joe R.

    I've been going to Homselice since they opened in March and it has become one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Their food is incredible. Salads are fairly priced and incredibly fresh. They whole wheat mozzerrella bread is off the charts-it comes to table right out of the oven. I haven't been disappointed w/ a pizza yet, the crust is incredible. I've taken probably close to 100 people there since March and everyone loves it. Clay and Josh the owners make you feel right at home and their entire staff is super friendly! Also if you are an ice tea drinker-they have one of the best ones in the city! Fun place to watch a game and the crowd is family friendly!
