Munchies Pizza & Bar

I think they started baking the pepperoni into their slices again instead of just throwing pepperoni on top of a cheese slice and heating it up. Back to the same old munchies that I remember. I figured they would come back around after a certain amount of time. I haven’t been here in at least 3 months before today.

This place is… ok. It’s cheap, food isn’t bad. If you want one of their daily specials (lasagna, or Wednesday’s garlic chicken), GET THERE EARLY! They only make so much, and I think the specials are the better-​tasting items on the menu.

Consistency is what I love about this lil not-​so-​special looking joint in Elk Grove. My first visit was looong ago back in the 80’s, we ate the pizza and mostacolli and I recall how delicious everything was. Ever since, the place never fails to deliver that same great tasting pizza and pasta, the sauce is awesome! I hope they never change and yeah, while the building and the interior looks super outdated, who doesn’t get a kick out of walking into a fond time warp every once in a while? I know me and my tummy enjoy it now and then! Turn on the Bön Jovi and let’s get some pizza on!

There is nothing fancy about this place but the food and service is high class. Great pizza and sandwiches and pasta dishes that would cost a lot more at a trendy Italian restaurant. Family owned and food is prepared with family recipes including homemade ravioli. Most people who frequent Munchies have been doing so for years and Joe and Marie the owners often greet their customers by name. They do a crazy lunch business and move the crowd thru with few problems. I have tried many things on the menu and was never disappointed. By far the best deal is the pizza slice and fries special!

This has been my favorite pizza place since high school!!! I love their pizza, their zucchini, just everything is good. They are always super friendly and nice. If you are anywhere near this place and haven’t tried them, you’re missing out! I only wish they delivered… Then my life would be complete!

i have been coming here at least couple of times a month… the service and food still good… just as it was in the 1980s… bruce springsteen tunes still lingers same old school music in the background (born in the usa)…the price still a bargain on most items… i normally get a pizza combo with a large drink and fries for $ 4.39…and oh yeah! décor updated a bit, now in the 1980s to match the music

Munchies is Munchies. It’s legit the best pizza in the area. They’re pan pizza is the stuff dreams are made of and I’ve been eating it my entire life.
Now if they could just get there service up to par this place would be a 5 star establishment.
My biggest gripe with this place is a silly one but remember I’m crazy and it makes sense in my head… If I walk in before my food is ready, have me pay then!!! Don’t wait till the food comes out to cash me out. On more than one occasion I’ve gotten stuck in a line after my foods come out and even waited 11 minutes one time to cash out while my food sat on the counter. This is after arriving 7 minutes early. Just seems silly.
Also, be friendlier! We are all neighbors here. I understand you’re busy, so maybe hire an extra staff?! Don’t take it out on your customers.

The thick slices are certainly filling but the crust is also very dense which keeps the rest of the ingredients from having much taste. Overall the pizza is just different, it’s not Chicago style, or New York style. After having it 3 or so times, an acquired taste for it won’t be happening.

We’ve been here four times for lunch. Today (it’s a Wednesday) we went for lunch and the place was packed with people streaming in. I usually bail at that point at most places but we decided to stick to it. Service was pretty quick despite the crowd.
The food is good — I haven’t had the Pizza yet but it looks tempting. I’ve had mostly their beefs and my wife usually has a salad. Their beef is good — but it’s served super dry by default and you have to ask for the juice. I guess I’m used to the more Chicago style of a dipped beef. Still great if you remember to ask for juice (although they have been decent about providing it after the fact.
We were turned off by the place at first because we thought it was a neighborhood bar. Nothing against a neighborhood bar, just that it doesn’t look so kid friendly. Having been there a few times, it’s less Bar than it is pizza joint. The bar is an afterthought there.
Will probably go again with the kids for pizza. Prices are pretty good.

I have now become a convert. Best pizza in Elk Grove Village. Pizza, crust included, tastes excellent. If the lasagna, doesn’t sell out, very good, as well. The paper plates are kinda hoky but I get it. I will say this from a value stand point that I can buy a large, one topping pan pizza for under $ 20. The same pizza at Lou Malnatis will go closer to $ 28 and it’s not as good, at least in the Village area.
My only complaint is that they need to subscribe to Grub Hub for delivery. I know people, albeit in the city that can do up to 35% in Grub Hub business. I’m sure it cuts into profits but when it’s cold out, like now, I’m doing delivery and have to pass on my favorite pizza.

Love this place! I’ve been going there for years!

Pizza was awesome. Wings were okay. French fries were good. No refill in drinks (boo), so drank water instead.

Munchies is a small mom and pop type pizza joint. I don’t think they even have an official website let alone a Facebook or Twitter page.
I’ve been to Munchies a few times now and it is perfect for a quick cheap lunch. Munchies is mainly a pizza place but they also have sandwiches, salads, and more. Munchies also has a bar that is open during lunch hours. The restaurant is split into two sections. On the right is the more sit down and eat your meal side with an old school TV as your entertainment and the other side is the bar area. You enter right in front of the order counter. They have the menu behind the counter as well as specials written on a chalkboard.
They have a lot of pizza lunch specials obviously. I have had the pizza here on several occasions and it is pretty good. The pizza slice with fries and a drink will only cost you $ 4 and some change.
If you’re really hungry you might want to get a couple slices or a half sandwich to go pair with something else. There is a $ 5 minimum here for card.

So their pizza’s pretty good, but they kind of close whenever.
Literally, whenever.
If you want to go after 7, you are making a huge gamble as to whether it’s open or not.

Munchies has pretty good food for very good prices. The fries are the biggest strength here and they also have great lunch deals.

I find myself going here at least once every few weeks now to grab lunch to bring back to the office. Cheap lunch deal — slice of pizza, fries and a drink for about $ 5. I always have to add a cup of the ranch dressing on the side to dip the hot, salty fries in — my mouth is watering just thinking about eating those. Side note to those who (like me) rarely carry cash on them, they do not accept credit card payments for orders under $ 5.

I am now and will always be a fan of Munchies. The staff, the atmosphere and the food are like an institution. They don’t change. And here, I’m good with that.
I order my drink, decide on my to-​go lunch order and wait. Usually just a few minutes. The food is packaged up nicely for transport back to my desk.
I’ve recently learned that their Wednesday special, a chicken and pasta dish, runs out quickly. But if you call ahead, they can reserve some for you. It’s pretty tasty. I really enjoyed the grilled chicken.
I’ve always been a chicken pastina soup lover! The pastina is perfect for this delicious concoction.
Finally, I still find excuses to eat the ranch dressing. It’s garlicky and makes me the outcast for the afternoon, but it’s worth it!

«& Bar» is stretching it. From the outside this place looks like a neighborhood bar where you might find gizzeled old men talking about the good ‘ol days. Inside its a child-​friendly pizza joint with fair quality pizza and reasonable prices. The pizza is heavy on the dough and light on everything else.
The staff is very nice, and if you like being called «honey» and «sweetheart» then you’ll really like this place.
If you’re coming for beer, keep looking. The bar was unattended at 5:30pm, not a single customer either. The selection includes several varieties of «the cheep shitty beer, Bud and Miller, all of which I decided to pass on.

The lunch special, consisting of a slice, fries, and drink, cannot be beat.
The Italian beef is always a solid choice as well. The staff is friendly, prices are fair, food is solid.
Always a good choice if you’re in the neighborhood and need to grab a quick lunch.

I went here during lunch to grab a bite to eat and this place looks good. They have a good pizza, fries and drink combo for like 4 bucks. Their pizza looked really good but I went with their burger and fries instead. The prices are very reasonable and the foot is very tasty.
I would def be going back to this place more often.
