homeslice

popped in for a quick lunch - had a decent cesar salad for $7 and a slice ($4) of the smoke show, featuring flavorless chicken, raw jalapenos, cream cheese, chili flakes, a sprinkle of mozzarella and provolone, garlic and olive oil. filled the hole for less than $15 with a soft drink.

stopped here twice in 2 days. first visit: hot food, delicious portillo dogs. quick fast service even though the place was packed. 2nd visit (less than 48 hours later). place was just as busy. took exactly 34 minutes to get our 4 drinks, 4 fries/onion rings and 4 portillo dogs. we waited and waited while others were grabbing their items. attempting to get someone to talk to about this is pointless. finally after getting upset about the wait, our food was ready. well, it appears it had been ready for a while, but had fallen down in the back. dogs were gross & soggy. fries cold. and no onion rings. went back and waited another 5 mins for those. i know it was one bad experience and we will be back on our next trip to chicago.

customer service spectacular. not a long wait. mozzarella bread sticks on point. medium size pizza are enough for 2-3 people. soooo many great choices. great variety for everyone including vegans. a must go for a home style feel in the city.

our most recent visit to chicago has us staying with my cousin, who lived in lincoln park. during the day we were searching for a place nearby that we could get gluten-free food, and homeslice came up on our search. and, it was within walking distance!
we arrived during happy hour and started with some delicious cider and the jalepeno homies which were grilled jalapenos stuffed with cheese and bacon and accompanied with bbq sauce. 
the gluten-free pizza was delicious, and we loved their combinations of pizza as we ate the lew-wow and mercenary! i also got their buffalo chicken salad (but subbed ranch instead of bleu cheese), which was great for a pizza place, being made with fresh spring greens, and lots of fresh veggies. 
we enjoyed this place so much, that we came back a second time during our 6 day trip to chicago!

the outdoor patio is one of the more unique patios in the city. think large neon letters & air stream. their bloody is probably my favorite in the city. cold slice on top. yes, that would be a cold slice of pizza places atop an already almost glorious (could be spicier) bloody! the pizza is good. and the calzones are the largest thing i've ever seen. but delicious all the same.

solid pizza place. their restaurant's atmosphere, especially the outdoor and patio seating, is awesome. i'm a sucker for the caesar salad and slice of cheese pizza. cheap and yummy.

homeslice was pretty good. there are a ton of thin crust options in chicago now, setting a pretty high standard. i'd say that homeslice is somewhere in the middle of places i've been. i really want to go back and sit on the patio out back. i'm giving them 2 out of 5 pearls.
