Primo Pizza

I’ve come here a lot and have no complaints. If your looking for atmosphere, modern décor, and state of the art equipment — stay away. It’s been around over 40 years. And don’t let the name fool you. In most places like this, Gyros comes from a bag. Primo slices it off the spit piece by piece.

This place is awful. On two seperate occasions now, I’ve received terrible food. The first time was a burger and fries. The burger had relish and sport peppers on it. What happened to lettuce, tomato, onion… not here. Relish, ketchup, mustard and sport peppers. A burger with hot dog fixins’.
Well tonight, I got a salad with grilled chicken and a slice of pizza. The salad was a basic ice burg lettuce salad, but my chicken was burnt. Completely burnt. Not to worry, still got that slice of pizza, right? The pizza tasted like melted cheese on top of cardboard. The pizza dough was hard and the cheese wasn’t far off. All in all, I will never come back to this place again. I made the mistake of giving them a second try.

How has this place stayed in business for so long?
There are people who think this is the best pizza ever?! You’ve not had good pizza. This is not the best pizza, it’s not even in the top 20 pizzas.
The crust is CARDBOARD. Cardboard. Seriously, I wondered if there was a layer of the box stuck to the piece.
The toppings were okay — Canadian bacon, mushrooms, olives and half spinach. Usually a favorite. Not this time. Tried repurposing the toppings the next day, discarding the cardboard crusts, as a frittata. Good plan, right? Nah. Still didn’t save it.
And it’s SPENDY. Almost $ 30, including tip and delivery, for a large thin crust. Apart Pizza (which I’ll stick to from now on, despite the protestations of my «Let’s try something new!» boyfriend) has a virtually identical pie for at least $ 10 less.
It also dovetails into my thinking that if a pizza place does a lot of different things, it doesn’t do pizza. The name is Primo Pizza, I’m not likely to get a Gyros there.
Sad this place didn’t work out, as it is in my lovely hood. I’ll find other new things to tempt the fab BF with, ‘cos this place is gonna be a One and Done.

Best pizza ever. Period.
I used to be obsessed and ordered delivery like every week, but I’m sadly like .1 of a mile out of their delivery radius now so it’s cut down my addiction, ha:(

This place has no air conditioner. Eat outside, if you can get the one table they have out there or get takeout. Other than that the food looks and is good. Enjoy!

I haven’t had their pizza or ordered delivery from here, so I can’t comment on those.
I’ve ordered hot dogs and burgers from here many times, though, and would gladly stop by again. You’re getting the stock Vienna Beef dogs/​burgers you can get at dozens of spots in the city, but this place stands out in two ways: It’s cheap and they char them.
I haven’t had my mind blown here, but it’s solid and not bad.

Best local spot pizza ever! Something about the cheese that makes their pizza taste better the next day. Great square cut party/​business pizzas. Dip the Italian beef, yum. They even char the hot dog for you if you like, ketchup on the hot dog though. Onion rings and fries are fresh to order. They’re so good when I dip it with their secret hot sauce. Their BBQ sauce goes on everything. And it doesn’t make sense to Go to McDonalds next door when the burgers here are fresh. The gyro sauce is the real deal, not the watered down kind at some places. They deliver pretty far out too. Hearty food for the great price with clean environment.

This place sucks. Extremely rude staff .
The food is ok. I’ll give the second star just for the food.
The place says that it’s Italian, they serve gyros and all the staff is Asian … Doesn’t make any sense …

The heavy set Viet cashier dude is a crook!
My first time here and he overcharged me and my 2 kids almost 2 bucks on cheese pizza slices. When I called him on the non-​itemized receipt he gave me, he said oh, I’m so sorry, I made a mistake. I took my refund in a large fry.
But I’m never going back to a scam place like this. Not a bad way to make 20% to 25% tax free on the innocent and math challenged.

Cheap, quick and okay in a pinch. Occasionally stop in for their polish sausage special. Comes with fries and a drink for under $ 5! Nothing much else to say about the place, other than it’s convenient and has off-​street parking.

Cheap but the food’s not bad, 2 of us ate there for less then 10 dollars, and we will go back.

PIZZA BY THE SLICE, I always love pizza by the slice, but not so much at Primos.
From all of the restaurants on Clark st, you can really do better than Primos, but if you want cheap food thats not McDonalds which is less than 200 feet away, Primos can get the job done.
The Pizza is alright, tasted like an upgraded version of those frozen pizzas you’d buy at Jewel. Your typical fast food joint, 3 stars.

Came here for lunch 2 days in a row with my co-​workers. They have daily specials. I had the jumbo hot dog, fries, and a drink for $ 2.99! What a deal! They also have burgers, pizza, gyros, rib tips… etc. Prices are great. Good for a quick bite to eat.

I’m a sucker for a sign that says pizza by the slice. That sign and cash burning a hole in my pocket led me into this place. With a few slices of cheese pizza ready and Telemundo blaring in the background, the question of whether or not I wanted to dine in or carry out was simple. I’m staying.
Two slices of cheese, their mystery hot sauce (Sriracha bottle… not Sriracha) and a can of Diet Coke and I was ready for my dining experience. It was a «New York Style» slice of pizza that I was pleased with. Nothing special, but the pizza is just good enough for them to stay around. I’m sure they have a decent following and may do well later at night when the area bars and restaurants spill out onto Clark. By the way, the mystery hot sauce was suprisingly decent.
Would I go out of my way to eat here? No
Would I go back? Yes
It is what it is. A dive pizza place that has slightly better pizza then you would expect.
Vitals:
2 Slices of Cheese
Mystery hot sauce
Diet Coke
less than $ 5

After two years of living a block away from Primo Pizza, I finally decided to stop in. I guess I had always thought it was just a pizza place, but I was surprised when I walked in and the menu included all of the standard Chicago favorites.
The Gyros, Italian Beef, and Pizza are all decent, but nothing is really spectacular. Just above middle of the road I guess. The staff is really awesome though. They are really friendly and are always watching a Chinese or Spanish TV station.
One awesome thing about Primo is that they take credit cards with no complaints! Very rare for a Beef Stand.

Not a fan. Use to call for delivery on a regular basis. Order would be correct and hot. Called for delivery which ended up my last time.
Order:
1 Gyro w/​cheese fires
1 Grilled chicken sandwich w/​fries
What arrived:
1 Gyro w/​cheese fries
1 Fried Chicken Sandwich
Paid and tipped the delivery man and went into eat. The BF went ballistic on me as I ordered the wrong sandwich. I clearly know the difference between fried and grilled.
Called up Primo and told them the issue. I am told if i want a grilled chicken sandwich I would need to pay for it and the delivery fee.
I told Primo to take a leap… haven’t ordered from there since. After 3 years of ordering from them you would think their service would have been better. I clearly know what I ordered and they were in the wrong.

The pizza is actually pretty good, especially for the price. However, I will never again turn to Primo’s for pizza delivery.
Several months ago, I ordered nine pizzas from Primo’s for an event. The pizzas were to be delivered by 5:00 PM. They confirmed the order of nine pizzas on the phone and agreed to be at the location no later than 5:00. At 5:15, the delivery man walked in the door with one pizza, insisting that that was the order I had placed. Although he did return about 45 minutes later with the other eight pizzas, we were offered no apology for their mistake, and still had to pay for all nine pizzas, even though we were originally only given one.
Needless to say, this delay caused a lot of stress and prevented the event from running smoothly. However, since the prices are so low, I decided I would give Primo’s one more try. At the next event the exact same thing happened. I ordered 9 pizzas, they showed up with 1, and still charged me for the other pizzas that they brought over an hour later.
Anyway, Primo’s in a nutshell: decent pizza, awful delivery services and customer service

This is one of those hole in the wall places that is located in a tiny plaza that you just stumble upon, and maybe because of proximity to where you live you figure that it will do. You can get pizza and many other unhealthy related items here. I was surprised by the choices and they do have salad here too. It was decided by my boyfriend that we should get the baked mostaccoli with meat sauce here so we got 3 orders for each one of us. It comes with garlic bread and a huge portion and it’s entirely covered with mozzarella cheese that is just caked on top like it’s frosting on a cake. So, if you love baked cheese — this is the place to come to. I actually like that there’s a lot of sauce and that it’s not dry. The prices are pretty average, but I haven’t had anything else here. The people here don’t talk much, but they’ll get you what you want.

primos is money in the bank
pizza is cheap and good because pizza can’t be bad. and if you think pizza is bad anywhere, they you, my little sally sue, need to have a one on one talk with your taste buds, like they were your children and you need to tell them the importance about sex and drugs.
jumbo hot dog, fries, and pop for less than $ 4 is a great deal. everything they make is acceptably delicious and if primos had a stock option, i wouldn’t get it, not because i don’t believe in their business, but because i don’t mess with the stock market.
don’t talk to strangers

We go to only the fanciest places. I’ve lived in Andersonville for a total of three days and we’ve hit this place, White Castle and the local Mexican dive place.
The Italian beef is good, better when it’s dipped. The fries are tasty. Everything was really hot and fresh. Good for you? Not so much? But it tastes good, isn’t that enough?
I’m happy that they deliver locally, too.
