Reggie's Pizza Express — Restaurant in Chicago

I visited this place thinking it was Reggio's pizza which is an iconic black-owned pizza chain. Despite noticing my mistake I still decided to try it out. It's located inside of the bar. Reggie's pizza is tucked away in the corner. It's a really small space that I noticed everyone inside was ignoring. You can get a slice & a soda for $6.50 (prices oddly seem to vary depending ln the customer if you look through the reviews) although there's no apparent list of toppings or menu items anywhere from what I saw. I'm pretty much in agreement with the other reviewers in terms of the pizza looking better than it tastes. It's subpar at worst & ok at best. Despite it sitting on the rack then being put in the oven to be reheated...the dough was still uncooked in some areas. The cheese is perfectly browned & there's a decent amount of sausage. The sauce was lackluster. The main pro is that the slices are big although not Bacci's big. They're served like a New York slice of which the owner tries his best to convince Chicagoans to let him slice it into smaller pieces for them (must be due to past confusion or waste.) I did end up throwing the last 1/5th of pizza I had left away, but not because I was full...I just didn't feel like eating subpar pizza anymore. The whole time the bar wasn't that busy. There were a couple of guys playing eachother in darts which was somewhat entertaining since one of them was hilariously bad as well...

Found this place online and then had a bit of trouble finding the actual place. It's basically setup in a corner of a bar.

I bought 2 slices, one pepperoni and one sausage. The pepperoni crust was a bit more done and therefore more "stiff" on the bottom, but not over done so it was fine. It was crunchy and if you held the pizza in one hand it was "stiff" enough not to bend. Overall an okay slice. The sausage was more "flexible" and if you held it by the crust in one hand, you'd probably have pizza in your lap. I almost thought I had been given a cheese slice by accident but then noticed the small bits of sausage.

As far as the sauces goes - it's pretty non-existent. extremely light no the sauce. I prefer more sauce on my pizza.

Value wise, it's not a bad deal. $5.90 for two slices and a can of pop ($6.50 after tax). I haven't tried City Pizza yet and they are closer to where I work so I guess I'll give them a try and compare...

Reggie's Pizza Express is the spot if you're looking for big, satisfying slices and a no-frills vibe. I stopped by for a quick bite, and it didn’t disappoint—$15 got me a personal pan pizza and a couple of oversized slices. The crust was perfectly crispy, and the cheese to sauce ratio was spot-on. It’s a great late-night option after grabbing a drink at the bar. Service was quick and friendly, even though it’s a bit of a dive. Definitely coming back for a late-night slice or to grab a pie before...
