Reviews for Michael's Original Pizzeria & Tavern in Chicago, IL

Great and very classic American sports bar. They have a zillion TVs, nice dim lighting, lots of neon, good beers and good... pizzas. Also the tater tots are fabulous, definitely have the tater tots. Read more

Woah, this place is so good and reasonably priced for Chicago! Excellent service - super fast and friendly. Really delicious... food- the pizza is amazing and the Italian beef was top tier! I will be back to eat both soon!! The prices don?t even compareto other pizza places in the area. They have a large and lovely outside seating section. Inside is spacious and has tons of TVsfor your any sport watching enjoyment. Definitely will be back to try their deep dish pizza but can?t recommend enough! Read more

Pizza was ok, but reasonably priced. Drink selection is typical for a spot bar. Waiter tried it's best, but the music was too... loud to easily make order. Probably, should have tried buffalo wings instead. Read more

Michael?s is our favorite spot in our neighborhood. There?s a reason they?ve been around for over 20 years. The service is... amazing. Everytime we go there the staff is incredibly friendly- even when they are slammed. (Shout out to Rueben especially!)It?s called Michael?s pizza, so, yes they have great pizza for sure. However, their other options are not to be overlooked. Mypersonal favorite is the Buffalo chicken wrap. It?s delicious- and at under $7 it?s a steal. I order that to-go on a weeklybasis since we?ve moved into our new condo. Lastly, and my favorite thing about Michael?s is how dog friendly their patio is.They bring your dog water and you can order a side of chicken just for your little bud. My dog LOVES Michael?s. If Michael?s isnot already on your pup patio list for summer, add it now! And if you don?t have a dog, still a must visit in Buena Park, trustme. Read more

I ordered a small thin crust pizza with ground beef and banana peppers. I was told the wait would be 35mins and my food was... ready when I arrived. I even got a 1 liter drink included with my purchase. The pizza was really good but I give a 4 cuz itcould have a bit more flavor. Overall I would return! Read more

Best place in Uptown, Buena Park neighborhood for cheap beers while watching sports. Important Note: THIS IS A DOG FRIENDLY... PLACE ???? Went here during a football game and this place was lively. Cheering everywhere. Enjoyed the beer with Buffalowings, tater tots, thin crust vegetable pizza. You can customize your pizza. Read more

Michael's is a neighborhood (Buena Park) institution. Real Chicagoans know that the best pizza in the city is found in... neighborhood joints like this, not the big chains. I love their deep dish and prefer eat it there. It's served in thetraditional, beat-up metal pan of deliciousness. Wings and Italian beefs are also good. The crust on the the thin crust can bea bit dry sometimes, but overall solid. Read more

We called and ordered ahead. This was to save time, since we had to travel an hour to get here. Not every pizza place allows... this, so it was really appreciated. The deep dish pizza was hot and perfect!!! The buttery crust had an ever so slight burntedge with a bit of caramelized flavor. The waiter had the pie on our table, before I could get my jacket off. The wait staffwere on point, tag teaming the entire meal. I couldn't get halfway on my drink before someone offered a refill. In addition tothe pizza, we tried their nachos. It was piled high with ground beef, tomatoes, cheese, and jalapeños. I apologize ahead oftime on the pictures. The food was so fast on the table, and looked and tasted so good, I forgot to take the photos until wewere half done. It was that good!!! The only points that have to be noted was the tight neighborhood parking and the singleoccupancy bathrooms for a popular establishment. That aside, a wonderful evening with great food and a fantastic team ofservers. A definite plan to come back!!! Read more
