homeslice

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. wentbackand waited another 5 mins for those. i know it was one bad experience and we will bebackon our next trip to chicago.

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 camebacka second time during our 6 day trip to chicago!

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 gobackand sit on the patio out back. i'm giving them 2 out of 5 pearls.
