Bonci Pizzeria Reviews

I ordered the Arrabbiata and spicy eggplant this afternoon. Both were very delicious. The dough was light and airy with a wonderfully crunchy crust. The other selections looked equally delicious and other diners were graciously indulging. Overall I feel it was a great pizza experience and somewhat similar to Pompei style pizza from Taylor Street. The only thing I wasn’t happy about was buying pizza by weight. I prefer a standardized slice of pizza over a server asking me how much they should cut for me with scissors. Of course, if you’re not a big eater, tend to be picky or simply prefer appetizer sized portions then this will not be a problem for you. For me I will absolutely return to try the other selections. I will simply ask for a larger slice. ;)

Absolutely delicious and worth the hype. We ate leftovers the next day cold and it was still good. That's how I judge how great a pizza is.

Lots of options, taste and quality is good.
-2 stars due to cross contamination hazard.
They serve vegan and vegetarian options but use the same pair of scissors to cut the pizza as they cut the meat pizza... be sure to ask for a clean pair of cutters..

Bonci pizza arrives in Chicago from Rome with high quality ingredients and awesome toppings. The crust is excellent, finally a perfect crispy crust that's not soggy. They have a nice variety of toppings, traditional like pepperoni and sausage or unique like the fried onion. You pick the size of the slice and they cut each one to your preference. Well priced for the quality, highly recommend the pizza here! Credit cards only, I recommend taking the pizza to go. Fulton Square market area is a great place for eating and drinking.

Excellent pizza. Crisp thin crust with a nice crunch that’s not oily. Freshest ingredients and super-unique toppings. I love that you can get as big or as little of a slice as you want. This serving here was $13 with tax.

Pizza by the weight. Words can't do it justice. Probably the best pizza we had in Chicago, but we did hit it at 11am when it was fressshhh. Should've come back and done a couple of inches of each one or something. That eggplant one absolutely banged.

I was very skeptical about the whole pizza by weight. Now I’m wondering if these reviews are fake or some Instagram bs.
Our pizza was so greasy. I refused to eat it. It also looked like someone’s sad leftovers. The slice that had crust was basically just hard bland dough. It reminds me of the pan pizza you buy for $8 on the streets of Manhattan. You eat it because it’s dirt cheap and quick. This bonci was $24 lmao. Cute name for a pizza place. That’s about it. Never again.

“ONE BITE EVERYBODY KNOWS THE RULE!” - 8.1/10
After watching Barstool review video of Bonci, we really wanted to try different variety of pizzas in one go. So we tried 5 different pizzas cherry tomato, margarita, spicy eggplant, mushrooms/sausage, and pepperoni (27$)…me and BF both agreed that spicy eggplant and the margarita pizzas were absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself is small so during rush hour its kind of hard to dine in…overall it was a great experience!

Love this place! Absolutely love the idea of getting to choose smaller amounts of multiple flavors of pizza or any other food for that matter. And the price is pretty in line with what I expected. I’ll definitely be back.

Amazing Roman style pizzas. Having tried this style of pizza in Rome previously, I can confidently recommend this place for anyone who wishes a brand new pizza experience. Between the crispy crust, to the amazing selections of toppings, it simply doesn't get any better!
PS: The potato pizza is a must get!

I heard about this place watching The Pizza Show on Vice TV. The host was at the original Rome location where they serve Roman style “al taglio” pizza: thin, rectangular, cut by scissors, and sold by the kilogram. So when I heard there is a location here in Chicago, I just had to try them out. I couldn’t believe it’s been around for about 4 years now. The pizza is EVERYTHING you’d imagine pizza to be. And their toppings range from traditional cheese, pepperoni, and sausage to veggie options like eggplant and zucchini, and even anchovies if you’re in to that. Quite easily one of the BEST to get thin crust pizza in Chicago. I’ll definitely be coming back for more ????????

Everything it lived up to!!! The freshest ingredients, excellent flavor combinations, fantastic crispy “crust” or dough. The place is small, think three counters and like ten stools, but fast service. They heat up your slices after cutting, yes with scissors, your pieces! Create your own portion sizes. I recommend small cuts and ordering more flavors so you get to try the most options. Slightly pricy but you’re paying directly for quality. Will be a repeat customer!

This pizza is absolutely amazing, the crust is crunchy and the toppings are delicious!! So for 33$ we tried 6 types of pizza (spicy eggplant, mozzarella, potato, meatball, anchovies and turkey). We were able to choose how much we wanted exactly of each type and we paid by weight for each. As a pizza lover, this place is now one of my favourites and I would definitely come back to try out more!

The pizza was very authentic Italian style, but it wasn’t really the flavor I usually prefer! Still had good quality food and service though.

This is my favorite pizza place. It has amazing variety with ever changing combos. You get to look at all their options and select how much (or little) you want them to cut out for you, then you pay by weight. This gives great opportunity for trying unusual flavors, and for trying lots of toppings with a group.
My favorite was the smoked salmon! Next favorite is Meatball Ragu. Potato was underwhelming but unique. The actual crust is delicious with a great bite to it. We ended up getting 2 rounds of 1 full box of pizza. It came out to about $10-12 per person, and the 2 boxes fed 4 adults and 1 kid very comfortably with leftovers!

Amazing pizza!! The quality at the Chicago location matches that of the location in Italy. There are quite a few vegetarian options as well. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend Bonci to everyone who asks for pizza recommendations

YUM YUM YUM!!! ????What a fantastic pizza option! This is not your typical deep dish Chicago pizza,or Detroit pizza or super thing crust pizza. These pizzas are medium thickness with a tasty and chewy crust. The toppings are creative and blend together nicely. I especially liked the ricotta, cucumber, lime zest pizza. You buy the pizza by the 1/4 lb - it’s a generous slice - I recommend 2 slices for most appetites. It goes on the repeat list! Don’t miss this yummy slice of the Chicago pizza scene!
