We had been to this location a previous time on the recommendation of a friend. Yesterday, we invited a couple of our friends to go and have dinner with us at Sweet Home Chicago. When we arrived, we waited for our friends to come, and they got here at 6:45. By 7 we were ready to order. We placed our orders and nothing was said to us about a longer than normal wait. At 7:40, we started to ask about our pizza, and the waitress told us it would be another 10-15 minutes. We were surprised by this timeframe and she got the "manag... read more

Anger Management issues – Ordered the Tuesday special at 7pm and at 7:40 still no food. After having to ask the waitress where our food was, she said another 15 minutes. Unfortunately we had another engagement and could not wait any longer. After asking for a refund, the waitress got the owner/general manager, who was extremely angry at us for asking for a refund. He told us to either be patient and understanding or don't come back. We nicely asked for a refund again and the general manager told a person in our group to SHUT... read more

The Real Deal – This is it I have made several trips to Chicago and have stopped at Giordano's and Gino's East. Worth the drive to try out. They also make their own sausage and it is killer. If you like Cheese then get a Deep Dish Cheese Pizza worth the extra money. The Deep Dish pizzas here are the ones to get.

Yummy stuffed pizza – From some of the reviews, it sounds like there may have been some problems here for awhile, but we've been going for the last several months and have always gotten great pizza and friendly service, whether we were dining in or taking out. Do sign up for their email specials - they often offer 2-for-1, or other good deals. The stuffed pizza is wonderful. It's huge, though, so if you're not feeding a group, be prepared to have leftover pizza for a few days (like that's a problem!)

Burnt pizza, bad management – We have been going to Sweet Home Chicago on and off for the last couple years. As a whole we went there more for the close location than the pizza since we never knew if it would be a good or bad day in the kitchen. More times than not we have felt our pizza had a burnt quality to it. This last time after waiting 40 minutes with, only 2 other families in the restaurant, our pizza once again had that burnt soggy quality to it. When we brought it to the attention of the manger who was not even 20 ... read more

Place is a joke!!!! – What happened to SHC. I used to eat here all the time. The owner must be on vacation or some damn thing. This place has seriously gone down hill within the last year. I went in there a few nights ago, just for a pickup mind you. Well first off, when I walked in, the place was filthy and there was stuff all over the floor, tables you name it. So I go to pickup my pie and low and behold it wasn't ready. Hmmmm, was quoted 30 minutes and I even got there 10 minutes late. Still not ready. Okay, so I wait and... read more

Avoid at all costs – I decided to visit Sweet Home Chicago with my family based on several good reviews I read regarding their pizza. Boy, were the good reviews wrong, but the bad reviews were right on the money!!! The service was poor, the restaurant was very small and dirty. When the pizza finally arrived it was completely unlike any other pizza I've ever eaten, that wasn't really a good thing. The crust was hard, thin, and tasteless. The pizza sauce was bitter, acidic, and salty. I would suggest avoiding this place at all... read more

TERRIBLE PIZZA-TERRIBLE MANAGMENT – this pizza is absolutely disgusting(unless of course if you like eating your pizza out of a soup bowl). it was incredibly soggy, had way too much sauce and the bottom was basically black. i've actually had better pizza at jazz games. they also have some of the worst managers i've ever encountered. not only were they extremely rude and arrogant, but also very unhelpful. if this is how REAL chicago pizzerias treat their customers then it looks like i wont be planning any trips there in the n... read more

Has been...not now – So we decided to give this place a try even after reading the reviews here after seeing "Pizza Paradise" on the TravelChannel. I also did a little "googling" and found the famous Pepe's in Chicago but for Frank, no mention of Jim. They won "Best of" in 2006. That was then and definitely not now. I ordered a "Don" for pick up, stuffed style. Of course it wasn't ready when they said it would be. After 10 minute I saw the guy pull the pie out. Then he started to scrape at it. Apparently it got a little burn... read more
