Big Sammy's Restaurant & Bar

We went to Big Sammy's for the Bears vs 49ers game, and we had blast. The big surprise for me was the pizza. OMFG... The sausage pizza is probably the best pizza in the area and maybe a contender as one of the best pizzas in Chicagoland. I didn't get the Chicago Pizza because these folks are Italian. I'm not going to ask an Italian to make me a Deep Dish, but this pizza reminded me of the pizza we got in Italy. My wife and family are over the moon about how good this pizza is. We are going to be ordering to go today and I'll update on the to-go experience. Update: We ordered online last night and picked up the pizza. The pizza was still awesome but not as good as in the restaurant. It just hits different with the pizza tin and it coming directly from the oven. We popped in the

Big Sammy's has the best pizza in the area in my opinion. If you don't believe me, go in and order the sausage pizza. Just a sausage pizza. Then you tell me where a better pizza exists in the area.

The experience here could’ve been better if the service person was more attentive. Everything was hurried and more transactional. Not much warmth in the service at all unfortunately. In fact, after serving each thing, the lady serving us was just rushing back. Never returning to ask “how is everything going?” There were that many people that she was serving. The bread that was served was very chewy and not easy to bite off. I wanted to tell our server about it but could not get a word in since she was rushing constantly. Then I noticed that other tables were also struggling with their bread as well. We got: Italian beef rolls for appetizers - tasty and good but not great. Deep fried so definitely not healthy at all but worth trying. Gnocchi - which was just OK and nothing exceptional f

Had it delivered for dinner. Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti marinara, Lasagna Bolognese, ceasar salad, and tiramisu. Everything was awesome. The marinara sauce has an interesting flavor that makes it stand out from other restaurants. Really good.

First time dining here, and everything was great! Our food was ready within fifteen minutes of us ordering, and it hit the spot. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu!
