Sofia’s Pizza

This wasn’t worth the calories. The server was nice but this place is for students on a budget. I don’t think I’ll return.

This place sucks big time this new «manager» is a huge jerk. For the last 2 months I have attempted to order the lunch specials I said «attempted» and haven’t had any luck because this jerk have an excuse each time as to why I can’t order it. Today was the last attempt I called at 3:55 to place an order no one answered until 4:07. The «manager» told me after I asked to place an order that it would be a long wait because the oven and stoves are not warm because he just got there. I said ok and asked to place an order for the lunch special and was told it’s over at 4 pm. What a freaking joke, I told him no one answered before 4pm I asked how can you order a lunch special if you if it end at 4pm and you don’t open until after 4pm. Second excuse was they don’t offer lunch specials on Sundays. (their website doesn’t state this). I told him that that they need to honor the special until they change things on their website. He told me he don’t make the rules I asked for his name and he refused to give it to me he said I don’t need it. I told him his customer service sucks and he begin to call me immature and other things at that point I told him I will post this on Unilocal and every where else and hung up.
To sum things up the pizza is not that great but the wings are GREAT but after today I will not place another order. If someone can be this nasty over the phone I can only imagine what he could possibly do to my food. The owners need to get rid of this guy if they want to keep customers!

Worst customer service ever! Their website clearly states that pizzas are buy one get one half off. It is not a coupon, it is part of their menu. We ordered and they said that is not a valid coupon and that it is a mistake. When asked to talk to the manager the person on the phone said he was the only one in the building. When we asked for his name, he hung up. If this is the way this business is run, I would not want to eat any food that is made there.

Another in a long line of pizza delivery experiences. Another 2.5ish review. Another in a long line of doughy, doughy, doughy. Pizza is bland. Delivery was timely enough, no problem there.
I wish pizza places were more clear about what they mean when they say «thin crust.» Is it cracker? Semi-​cracker? Thin? Thick posing as thin? It would make things a lot easier, for me anyway. This was thick posing as thin. And bland. Ah well. Moving on…

HORRIBLE Pizza! i ordered an extra large thin crust w/​onion, pineapple, jalipanios.
This pizza was not thin crust, it was SO doughy and no sauce. it was SO dry that i could not eat it. When i called to complain, the witch hung up on me. WAY OVER PRICED for such shitty pizza and service. Should not be on Taylor street. Of all the Pizza joints in the city… i had to order the most expensive and the worst tasting.

The pizza is certainly fit for consumption, and its a good deal. But, does lack on the taste department. Still I will go again.

I live a block away from this place and order from here all the time.
Their pizza is not bad but it is the «Everyday Large Cheese Pizza Special» that keeps me coming back. It’s 6.65 for a cheese pizza. Each additional topping is only a dollar extra. Best deal around.
I have also had their philly cheese steak. It’s mediocre but I don’t really know better places for one on taylor street.

Sofias stromboli is great!
Delivery times seem to be a little long, but that won’t keep me from going back.

Come for the mediocre pizza. Stay because the wait is extremely long.
I’ve been to this place a few times because I’m around the area a lot. Each visit here was an impulse due to a sign outside advertising a good pizza deal. The first visit I got a couple of slices of sausage and cheese. The guy said we have some coming out of the oven soon and that was fine with me. I found when the guy said «soon» he really meant 20 minutes. I asked him periodically when my order will be ready and he quickly shot back «soon» without even going to the back to check. When I got the pizza it was shockingly dull. It was like they somehow figure out a way to put Coors Light in pizza form.
I went back a couple more times and the pizza was a little better. The service was also faster. Only good enough for 2 stars though.

2 words: Shit PIzza. Nuff’ Said.

The pizza tastes amazing. Large Beef and ricotta on thin crust with 2 drinks for $ 13? You had me at hello.
It’s an amazing place, and when we went in they had milan vs florentina playing, of course, SO and i love a real football game, especially while eating. The meal was delicious and we loved every bit of it. Yummiest pizza we’ve had in a while and we don’t even like pizza: D
Good service and WONDERFUL prices and specials. We wondered into here after looking at taylor made’s prices and ugly set up and walking out. We made a great decision!

Wanted a good old fashioned pizzeria pizza this weekend, and decided to give Sofia’s a try. (We’d gotten a menu-​flier of theirs in the mail this week– FULL of great coupons too!) We ordered a Pizza Roma and a Pizza Deluxe. Both were delicious! Lots of yummy cheese. The crust was soft and delicious– and we’re not particular fluffy crust fans. I told the lady we had the coupon, she gave me my new total and said it’d be about an hour.
The delivery man was on time, let me keep my coupon and told me to use it again and again, and the pizza was so hot when we got it. RARE occurrence!
We’ll definitely order from here again. My only recommendation for Sofia’s would be to add some marinara or garlic sauce in cups. The crust would be so GOOD with a little dipper sauce on the side. I wouldn’t be able to STOP ordering from here if that were the case!

We ordered a simple pizza from them last night. Over 1 hour later we called and they said it was at our building. However 20 minutes later still no pizza. Called again and the guy was a jerk. The pizza finally arrived and the delivery guy had loads of attitude.
Afterward the guy called and offered an insulting discount. Will never order again.

I have gotten pizza from Sofia’s three times now and every time it has been quite delicious. The pick-​up special of $ 9.99 for a large pizza is fantastic and well worth the price.
The service is not the greatest, but is generally friendly and walking here in the summer is a joy down Taylor.
If you do order for delivery, make sure to go to the website to get special coupons, otherwise it can be a bit pricey.
All in all, very good NY style pizza!

Gary E.‘s review below is right on point. As a pizza lover from NY, I am constantly on the prowl for good NY style pizza and so far in Chicago, this is the closest it gets. I am overcome by dough and cheese and want a little more sauce (which Italians from NY call ‘gravy’ by the way). The pizza is a little bit inconsistent but usually is hot and well prepared. I definitely recommend giving it a try.
Only two things keep me from giving them a 5 star rating:
— If they put a bit more sauce on the pizza
— I’ll never give a 5 to a crust that isn’t hand tossed. At least these guys try, they use a «precast» bottom and hand-​dough the outer part of the crust, which is at least an attempt at making it look hand-​tossed.
Friendly and fast service and delivery. I like it.

Just ordered it again last night to watch the Hawks game and again delish!
The pizza came super fast. I think it was only about 15 minutes, which is highly impressive for delivery.
And the prices are great. Go to their website to get coupons, and they let you keep them and use them again next time! Great place.

I like:
–The Variety of The Menu (Pizza, Sandwiches, Salads, Cheesesteaks)
–The Availability of Chicken Philly Cheesesteaks
–The Chicken Philly Cheesesteak itself.\
–Vegetables seemed fresh.
I dislike:
–The Wait. phone your order in ahead of time.

I really wanted to like it.
Ordered Sofia’s today for lunch. I got a veggie pizza, also tried a spinach stromboli. My husband ordered cheesy bread, chicken wings and a gyros plate. Nothing was very good. Blah pizza– too saucy, soggy bottom and not enough cheese. Tomato slices were cut really thick for some reason. It wasn’t particularly cheap either, despite what others have written.
The guy on the phone and also the delivery guy were really nice. Like I say, I wish I liked it better. But not a fan.

This is a cute place. I stopped here before the Kylie concert last month. I ordered some cheese ravioli. They serve various pasta entrees as well as pizza. It’s a very low key and simple place. I really liked that the food was cooked to order, the service was friendly and there weren’t a million people in there. It was a nice place to relax and eat after driving over an hour in traffic. I’m not in this neighborhood too often, but I can say that if I needed to go to another concert, this would be a great «go to» place!

It’s good pizza you don’t get the 100% New York City flare of thin curst pizza, but it comes in at a close second since we are in living in the «second city.» Anyhow I felt the regular thin crust sausage pizza was tasty, but their spinach thin crust pizza wasn’t that good to me. The service was fast we ordered to take it home, it is a very causal sit down place nothing special.
