Ranalli's Lincoln Park Reviews

Nice patio on a beautiful day. Good service and delicious pizza.

It can get pretty loud, so on weekends we usually do take out. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Love the prosciutto and arugula pizza, also the buffalo wings are legit. When the weather is nice, the huge patio is fantastic!

Lovely patio. Has a Double Chocolate Gelato and a Loosey Goosey - perfect pairing!

You cannot beat this patio in the summer. Grab a few friends, a pitcher of beer (impressive list) and share one of their classic pizzas.

The giant Moscow Mules are a great deal and the pizza is very underrated. Great patio area too!

I like this place and have gotten take out a couple times since I moved to the area, but I feel that they are not doing enough to protect their staff from Covid-19.

Was picking up some food Sunday, and I noticed that guests weren't required to wear masks when speaking with the servers, and it really rubbed me the wrong way. The manager should be in charge of enforcing such a policy, so that the servers don't have to awkwardly ask for the guests to be respectful and put a mask on.

Honestly, I don't care if the guests get the virus-- they're choosing the risk at this time. But for the staff to be forced into that situation? Feels so exploitative.

Pizzas are just ok but the atmosphere is really cool. Has a sweet outside patio and the garlic knots are very tastee. 4/5.

There's more than just pizza - and the non-pizza stuff is often better than the pizza. The patio is wonderful in good weather. Very family friendly.

Service was pretty good, if terse and not particularly friendly but likely just because it was busy.

The deep dish pizza was really disappointing though...we ordered a large with meatballs as a topping and half with green pepper, half with giardiniera. It's possible the order was put in wrong as half meatballs and 100% giardiniera or the cook was low on meatballs and had a glut of giardiniera. Either way, the pizza had maybe 3-4 small chunks of meatballs spread out over the entire pizza so only 3 or 4 slices out of 8 had any meatball on them. The Giardiniera however was everywhere to the point that we were having to pull it off the pizza so as not to only taste giardiniera with each bite...

Overall pretty disappointing for a place that prides itself on their pizza.

Good food and location. Nothing mind-blowing but always a safe bet. The outdoor seating during summer is great, but can get really loud.

Great and quick service and a variety of options for every palat3!

They won't tell you on the phone if they have a wait or not. Go elsewhere.

The pizza here rocks. Patio is rocking in good weather.

Hands down one of the best pizzas in the city. Get the pan you won't be disappointed.

Great wait and bar staff, 'most' managers are good people with good personalities. Food is satisfying and tasty. The regular patrons are mostly pretty chill. If I had to criticize anything, it's that it is a Packers bar. Other than that, it's a great place.

Extremely rude staff, Matt was just angry and condescending, no courtesy or manners whatsoever!

The hostess today was extremely kind to my party. She had an awesome attitude. Thank you Maggie!
Furthermore, the food was awesome. The Fried Calamari was great and the spicy mayo sauce was one of the best dips I've ever had with this dish.
Overall, attention and atmosphere was awesome. I will definitely be coming back!

Always amazing service, drinks and food. Try the fried calamari.

Serve is slow but pizza is amazing! Crust is crispy and cheesy.

Came here after a flag football game late one night. It was pretty quiet by the time we got in there but the service was great. Turns out they sponsor the flag football teams and offer some pretty great perks for it. And when our 16 inch pizza came out with an outside piece missing, the manager came with it to let us know they were already preparing a 12 inch for free to make up for it. They also have the best grilled chicken sandwich I've ever had. Absolutely no complaints, it's a great place to spend an evening.

Place was packed on a rainy Sun afternoon, service still quick and friendly, pizza was great.

Rating: 4.3 Stars

We ordered the pepperoni pizza and meatball pizza. Both were very solid. The size and flavor of the pepperoni slices were a huge plus, and the meatball pieces had a lot of flavor. The crisp of the pizza and sauce also complemented each other nicely. Next time I am in Chicago, I will definitely come back and try some of their other food. The patio atmosphere was quite pleasant and fun, and that, combined with the food, made the experience an overall great time!

Not a ton of options for people with dietary restrictions. Good place to grab a beer on a patio though, and they allow dogs!

Pizza selection is different, crust was delicious, atmosphere was very cool

Reasonable customer service
Possibly not enough staff
Consistently good, quality food
Very loud patrons, who may have been at Cubs game earlier

Good food, nice hostesses and servers, quick service, and they allow dogs on the patio!

Pizza was room temp at best, it was all smashed up and if I could post a picture of this pile of crap I would. The delivery man called and badgered me about where my apartment was after I told him several times I was coming to get it. Once I got down the hall to the front door (doorman thought he was shady) he kept asking about it.... Finally I got frustrated and asked for my pizza and had to tell him, dude I'm not going to tell you can I please have my pizza. Don't get delivery from this place.

The lady who took my order was an angel though. Lol

Great, fast and caring service. Chicken wings and signature drinks were delicious. I will be back!

Good thing crust pizza. Prosciutto is a little salty for my tastes. Cheese curds were what one would expect for a bar catering to cheese heads - outstanding! Good beer selection too. Will come back when it is warmer as the outside looks nice.

Great pizza! Enjoyed my deep dish spinach and chicken pizza.

Theay have toys the pizza was amazing I couldn't get enough of it!

Delicious pizza and a nice spot for a wedding rehearsal dinner.

Thin crust pizza. Chicken tenders with awesome sauces. A great outdoor patio. That's where Ranalli's excels.

Outstanding Pizza! I'm Northern Italian. I was raised w/homemade Italian pizza in my family. Thank you for an excellent pizza!

Compared to pizza in New York City the pizza was extremely average. Chicken sandwich was good.

Trust me, the hot honey sopressetta is the best pizza you'll ever have. Still dreaming about it, can't find it anywhere else. Can't wait til I'm back in the city and I can get it again

Great pizza and a great patio. Seems to close earlier than I would expect

Great spot to watch the Badgers play. Good food and stadium cups of Miller lite.

Amazing manager and restaurant. Great selection on the menu, the burgers are a great choice. There is something to please everyone. The manager is definitely amazing and definitely pays attention to his customers. THey also have late night!

Very cool open concept to dining patio outside. Pan crust pizza was good.

When the server came with a glass of water to greet me at the table, I asked for water with no ice. Minute later he came back with a glass of water with something in it that is sticky and appears as saliva! I stirred it just to make sure I'm seeing this correctly! I asked for the manager to come and take a look at it. to make story short. I told him, Im taking my business somewhere else. I am shocked, and dont know what else I have to say about this. just took a video of the whole nasty thing.

Today was the second and the last time going to this unsanitary restaurant. I cant beleive I opened this online account just to write this reveiw, and I appologize for rating this place as a one star since it is the lowest you can rate.

They tell their customers not to tip the drivers who make about $13 per hour.

We had the BBQ pizza and it was awesome. I highly recommend the out door patio.

Feels like a bustling bar but we were seated right away. They have a large handful of beers on tap and some choice selections in bottles and cans too. The pizza is very good. Thin and crispy. Prices are about average. The place is glowing from LOTS of TVs.

Great food large outdoor dining and you can bring your pet

Great value on drinks. We were able to bring dogs to sit out on the patio with us (they are well behaved). The atmosphere is quiet and comfortable. We were very happy with the service staff. Will definitely return.

I love the pizza and very lovely lounge and good service

Went here during the air & water show. Beautiful weather for the huge outdoor eating area. Food is delicious, large portions.

This a pretty 'bro' place. The food was fine. The servers were nice. Nice salad, fine chicken fingers and ok pizza. Just not my scene.

They have an extensive beer, burgers, sandwiches, & pizza menu. The patio is huge. They do a great job w/ delivery, offer frequent coupons, the toasted raviolis are fab!

Ranallis is the bomb dot com for delivery or a sit-down meal! They have the best pepperoni pizza in the city, The main attraction is their HUGE patio, but after the Four Corners acquisition they've made vast improvements to the inside. I see this place blowing up in terms of popularity the summer months!

Very nice experience, delicious food, great service

This has to be one of my favorite places to go in the Lincoln Park all town area. I love the patio and her dog friendly it is the cocktails can be sometimes hitter mess but still amazing place. With excellent energy if you haven t been I strongly recommend it

Get the chicken fingers. Best in the world. Not kidding.

Haven t been to Ranalli s in a long time. Given the new management we thought we try it. A group of four of us was going to have dinner on the patio on a beautiful summer day. One person from our party went ahead of time to put our name in and they wouldn t put their name in until more people in the party showed up. So basically they wanted punishment to make everybody wait for the hour and not just one person. So we left and it ll probably be a long time if we ever go back. They really could try to be more equitable with their customer relationships.

I appreciate your response but it was clear and repeated that we couldn t even be put on the list until full party there. So if that s not your policy, you need to educate the hosting staff. We fully understand that you wouldn t seat us until everyone was there.

Really good and unique thin crust pizza. Good service, and it's a nice option for Badger fans.

I've been here a handful of times.

Majority of the food is not very good (frozen, expected), but their Greek salad is decent and thin crust pizza is ok.

Many of the waitstaff have really poor wait staff skills.

The patio is lovely in the summer.

5 for massive outdoor patios
5 for burgers (but they need to bring back the Rio Grande!)
3 for pizza
4 for beer selection.

Clean restaurant. Very good staff. Polite, professional and courteous! GREAT FOOD!!!

A very good pizzeria serving tasty Chicago style pizzas as well the thin-crust variety. A large variety of craft beer is available to make dining outdoors on a terrace, open in warm weather, particularly pleasant.

Pizza is a great choice for you. I am a huge fan for Pizza. The environment and atmosphere is nice. It is reallly American Style.

Really good apps and pizza, good service and a trendy crowd. Lots of outdoor seating off the street so it's nice and quiet and space to stretch out. Decent beer selection with lots of varieties on draft. Overall a great local place for great pizza with a fun, outdoor atmosphere!

Chicken fingers/tenders have changed a bit but still delicious.

Great place for burger's and to watch a sport's game. Pizza is great !!!!! Staff treats you as though you are family. During the summer, the outdoor cafe' is a nice way to enjoy the Chicago summer and Pizza, one of Chicago's best traditions..........approximately 20 toppings available for your special pizza. Cannot go wrong with this restaurant. All the dishes will pleasure your pallette.

Cool space, but charged me a bunch for a thimble of liqueur. Meh

We went here because I found an article that said it was kid friendly place to eat near the Lincoln Park Zoo. I can tell you it is not kid friendly. The music was very loud and not of the "kid friendly" variety; it was 4pm on a Sunday. The hostess and server both seemed nice, but with the blaring music and emptiness of the place, we decided to find somewhere else to eat.

Good place to watch the Wisconsin badgers play. Solid food. Ok service.

Great spot to go and watch football on Sunday's or a chill night out where you are just trying to grab a bite and watch the game.

Solid choice for Old Town delivery. Like the wraps and they have good pizza - and the toasted ravioli appetizer is great. They have a huge patio which is nice in the summer.

Server was so-so but food was great. The food is great to split two different meals with a friend. The prices are good and the specials after ten are hard to beat.

Awesome pizza. Try the prosciutto and arugula! Great group cocktails.

This place was great! Pizza was delicious, and service was extremely friendly. Within walking distance of the Zoo so you can leave your car parked at the Zoo and grab a good bite. Only downfall is they like the Packers. Bear Down! But the overall experience and the food overcame my bias to earn 5 stars.

Decor isn't a correct review since I called for delivery. Service is based on the delivery time. Food wasn't so great. Pizza is awesome, but pasta was cold and delivery took 2 hours. Not sure about the service in the restaurant, but if you're looking for delivery find somewhere else to order from.
