Roundhead’s Pizza Pub

It’s your typical old dingy sports bar décor, decent beer selection (they get a star for having clean taps, they lose a star for the price), the wings were decent, but something just seems off. While our service was good, it did seem very disorganized so I can see why it might get very slow if they were to get busy. The real nail in the coffin are the prices. Got a casual dinner with my girlfriend because we didn’t want to spend much, and the bill for 2 orders of wings and 2 beers was $ 40. Long story short, head down Roosevelt to jts or bww. You’ll spend less and be much happier with the product.

I’m going to give this place 5 stars, and here’s why. I’ve only been in on Friday’s for the buffet and the food has always been delicious and service is great. The buffet food is not your typical with items such as chicken masala, FRIED CHICKEN (yes — some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had), soups and tacos. Their pizza is delicious too, perfect crust lots of cheese!

I came here for a family gathering. It is a pretty good size pizza place with a bar and a restaurant area with tvs all over to watch sports on. They accomodated our party of 16 well on a saturday night. We had children with us from 18mths to 12. The atmosphere was great for them. We did not have to worry about them staying super quiet as it was pretty loud on a saturday night. The pizza was average there thin crust pizza was thicker then i like but it was edible. The boneless wings were better then the pizza and i tried my sons chicken tenders and they were good too pretty juicy. My other son ordered the burgers from the childrens menu they served him 2 sliders and he said it was a sweet bun. He loved it. I would come back and maybe try a stuffed pizza or maybe a chicken entrée.

It takes a lot for me to actually break out the app and review but my experience tonight was bad enough unfortunately.
We came on a Sunday afternoon with a big group– around 16. Luckily for us it was dead and we got a table together.
After ordering, we literally waited 45 minutes to get our drinks. Then 20 minutes later 1 appetizer came. One for all 16 people. We waited another 40 minutes and then… Half the meals came. Whatever we were starving so those of us who were lucky enough to get food dug in.
My boyfriend and I got our appetizer about halfway through our entrees. Again whatever, hungry. The poor couple and their 3 year old across from us literally NEVER got their food. She came out twice and asked what was on it. After an hour and half they finally said never mind cancel it.
Icing on cake– they were charged for it and the waitress hassled them about taking off a pizza they NEVER GOT.
I was extremely disappointed by the device especially considering we were basically the only guests here. I get large parties are harder to serve– but it’s not impossible.
Would NOT recommend going here if you’re hungry or thirsty.

Came for the buffet and waited about 20 mins just to get the check. Everything on the buffet was «meh» at best… Most things were cold and/​or lacking flavor. We won’t be back.

Excellent service and pizza. The best thing about this place s that it is consistent. They have thin, pan and stuffed pizza. Choose your weapon… you will get it consistently. Bartenders are the best (they are consistent too) but Jay is the Super Star. Family and older folk friendly at the same time.

Food was good it’s a shame the service was horrible! We sat ourselves as the sign stated and the waitress didn’t show up for another 15 – 20 minutes to even give us a menu or take our drink order. I’m not returning.

I love coming here for lunch! They set up a nice little buffet and have a good selection of beer.
The last time I came here was during lunch with my coworkers and I got a Green Line beer and did the lunch buffet. I mainly had the pizza, which was thin and warm.
The service was also quick and helpful.

My husband and I stopped in for some lunch before my eye surgery close by. It was an off time but the service was still very quick. We got the 4 appetizers for &16 and that made a very nice lunch. The potato skins were real potatoes, the garlic bread was good, the calamari was surprisingly tasty, and the fried pickles came in long slices instead of pickle chips. We were in and out in one hour. If I lived in the area I would come back!

Great beer, great wings, great bartender, great atmosphere. This is where you go to watch the big game!

Terrible service all around. We will never go back.

I usually enjoy taking my boys here, but tonight the service was awful. Got there at 5:50 ordered an appetizer and 3 sodas right away. Appetizer came 40 minutes later an the sodas at just under the hour mark. I would have flagged the waitress down to prod it along but she was no where to be found. Still waiting on a cheese burger and small pizza an hour after getting here. Was told they were short staffed, then told a couple of parties showed up without calling. Very disappointing.

I love this place! The brunch is delish, great variety and choices. Love the fried chicken in the brunch. I don’t know why it’s not on the regular menu. The pizza is one of the best around! I go there to watch a game, eat some great bar food, and have beer. I only get bottle as the beer is not cold enough on tap. I was told it was because the kegs were far in another room and the beer has to travel.
The manager on duty has acknowledge me only once even though I have been there dozens and dozens of times. She caters to the men with comps, but I get not even a hi!
Melanie and Jay rock as bartenders! Try the wings, yum!

Live 10 miles away, the Opera performance downtown ran late, and this was the only restaurant we found to be open late. Service was attentive and a cut above, and the grilled chicken sandwich was super tender and tasty. Big plus: they have Shiner Boch beer on tap!

Decided to give round heads a try last saturday night. Was pretty late so got there around 8:00. Was surprised how crowded it was so much so that we had to wait for a table. I have no problems waiting for a table but this place is seat yourself. Let me start by saying this is just asking for problems. How hard is it to have someone greet people at the door and seat them. A waitress saw we were waiting so she walked by and told us they were cleaning off a table and it would be ready soon. While they were still cleaning off the table another group came in and took it. Now I expect the staff to say those people were just waiting for us to clean off the table then they were next. After a few more minutes waiting another table opened up and we were seated. The one shinning star I will say about roundheads is the servers are very friendly. Our waitress was very nice and let us know it would take a hour for our pan pizza. So we ordered the cheese curds for a starter. The cheese curds were ok, about what you get at culivers nothing special but at least tasty. Then the pizza came. I have never seen a pizza giggle when it was set on the table. Then there was a pond of grease on top. I mean enough to change the oil with in your car. When my sister took the first slice of pizza the rest of the cheese from the slice fell right off back into the pan. What a mess. After we each took a slice there was half a pan of nasty oily goop left. It was really gross. My boyfriend ordered one of their sandwiches and the bun was cold like it came straight from the fridge. My only guess is people come here to drink because I didn’t find one thing positive to say about the food. I feel bad for the servers because they were great. The only reason I gave roundheads 2 stars was the service. If you want to watch a game and have a drink this place seems fine they have lots of TV’s and friendly servers. If you plan to eat best to go elsewhere.

It is a fun place with excellent service no matter how busy it gets. For example I asked the server for hot sauce. She hands me a bottle that was just about empty. I give it a couple of shakes and it is empty. As I set it down the empty bottle I look up and the manager is rushing over with a new full bottle of Tabasco. Note at this time during the Blackhawks game it is a very busy place.
Where else do you get that level of service in a busy place? No place I haver ever been.
Besides that the food is good and reasonably priced. Plus during a Hawks game they broadcast the play by play over their speaker system.

I used to go here all the time for the buffet and for hawks games and friday family night but it has gone downhill. I had a great party here once but I’m losing hope for future visits. Sorry for the bad review roundheads but very disappointed lately in the food and service.

Nice little place, good food options and very good service. TV coverage is everywhere, but the bar has the best coverage, with 9 TVs which are flawless for NFL Sundays. *(Get there by 11:30).
*i’ll be there at the open.

Great location and a great building.
Staff was clueless and immature young girls.
Food: Pizza under cooked frozen dough, sub par cheese, frozen toppings no flavor.
Received the wrong chicken sandwich ate it… no flavor bland
Had to beg for drink refills, asked several times…
In the end the head waitress ended up taking over $ 20 off the bill and we had a group of 12 people I ended up paying $ 30 and tip.
The point is I wanted good food and service… get it together we need good places in Lombard

This place had good reviews on Unilocal so I picked it as a meeting spot one night. The second we pulled up I knew I made the wrong choice. We walked in and a sign said to seat yourself. We couldn’t find a table that was completely clean, so I settled on the least sticky one. The place was near empty. We sat there waiting on menus and I noticed that the entire place needed a good cleaning. I felt gross.
We ordered the 3 mini sliders with fries and 12 wings. The wings were actually pretty good. The sliders had no taste at all. It was so bizarre. Even the onions on them had no taste. The fries were horrible. We ended up paying quickly and having our friends meet us elsewhere. I couldn’t stay there for one more minute. Our waitress was friendly. Her and the wings were the reason for more than one star.
