Bonci

Fantastic new addition to the Lakeview pizza lineup! I was excited to check this place out when I heard they had a location in Rome, Italy and it did not disappoint! Casual pizza shop with a case full of unique flavors. My favorite part is you get to choose how much you want and they cut it with scissors. You are charged by weight. This allows you to try however many flavors you want. While the blueberry sausage sounded unique, I ended up going with lemon ricotta and 4 cheese meatball. The lemon ricotta was lightly flavored with lemon with huge dollops of super creamy whipped ricotta and thin strips of zucchini. The 4 cheese meatball ended up being my favorite. The blue cheese gave it a nice zing and the meatballs were tender and flavorful. My friend and I dined outside. The seating can be limited so plan to take it to go if needed.

We visited Bonci Pizza on a Wednesday evening for dinner, hoping for a great experience based on all the positive reviews. Unfortunately, our first visit left much to be desired. All of the pizzas on display looked dried out, as if they had been sitting there for a long time.When our order arrived, none of the pizzas were hot; they were merely lukewarm and just as dried out as they appeared initially. We tried the chicken Parmesan pizza, which had very dry chicken, and the pepperoni pizza, which was overly oily.Perhaps we caught them at a bad time, but as a first impression, we were not impressed. Given the abundance of excellent pizza options in Chicago, we don't see a reason to return to Bonci Pizza.

The best part of the pizza was the nice crispy crust. It all seemed like a slightly fancier flatbread pizza. Many different flavors but nothing really blew us away.The workers were very quick and friendly, but the ordering process was a bit weird. Choosing your slice width and then they cut it with scissors was very unique. The indoor seating is a bit cramped, so it seemed like getting lucky with a patio seat or taking it to go might be the best option. Weighing the slices and paying by weight was not ideal and it was a bit pricey for what we got. I think I have a much more simple taste when it comes to pizza, so maybe Im not the target audience for this style of pizza, but if you're into trying a bunch of different/unique pizza types its definitely worth a try.

Great pizza options with tons of variety. Con is that they cannot custom make pizzas or take of spicy parts because the ingredients have already been put together. The pizza is nice and fluffy, and tastes homemade. The service is really great. Feels almost like true Italian warm welcoming atmosphere with a cute little outdoor seating area.

I've been to a different Bonci location before and I'd say this experience isn't too different than those. Bonci recently opened Thai location and broadway and seems to be up to speed and par with the other locations. I came in on a Friday for a little late lunch to take to the late. My fiance and I got 4 different slices: mushroom, Buratta, pepperoni and sausage. There was a def difference in quality between with with the pepperoni being a little more subpar for the price.We were served promptly, food was out quickly and by the time we were out the door it was a little crowded with the line forming. IMO, Bonci is fairly good pizza but a little overpriced. That higher price gives you the opportunity to get smaller slices and a variety of flavors the value and pepperoni are the main reason reasons I dropped it to a 4 but I'd still recommend!

For lunch, we went to Bonci. Bonci opened recently to a diverse neighborhood filled with amazing restaurants. We decided to come here to try the pizza. When we arrived at Bonci, we saw some patrons waiting for their orders. Being a very small restaurant, the staff set up two tall boys as tables in the middle. The customers could eat at the wall tables which lined the left wall to the window wall. But eating at Bonci felt a bit uncomfortable due to the small space. After we placed our order, we waited for about 6 minutes to get our slices. I ordered the Mushroom Rosa and the Arugula Bufula. The server proceeded to cut small slices from square pizzas. She put the small slices on a scale. She explained to us that we will pay based on the scale. When we received our pizza slices, the staff cut the slices into smaller slices. I could taste the different ingredients in the pizza. However, I felt the slices were too small. Joseph ordered the pepperoni pizza sloce and a burata pizza slice. He said they tasted pretty good. I liked how Bonci offered vegan options. The restaurant looked clean. The staff worked together well. However, the people sat on top of each other making it tight to sit and eat pizza.

Pizza was exceptional! This is my new favorite place in Chicago! Like their spot in Italy they cut the slice to the size you want! Crust is unbelievable and the spicy eggplant was special! The ambiance is good for a pizza place. You can eat outside too! Prices are reasonable and service was amazing!

Great outdoor dining; amazing pizza! The options are a bit limited near the end of the day, but they still had pepperoni

I love that you pay for as much pizza as you want here! I love trying different flavors and hate having to get a ton of slices I can't finish. Here, they let me specify how big each slice should be and charged by weight. Good variety, plenty of vegetarian options!

Ordered the potato and mozzarella. It was okay. Kind of bland. The crust was this whole wheat blend...? It was definitely a surprise and I wish it was a regular crust. They also dont put descriptions of the pizza other than "pepperoni" "sausage and mushroom" etc. It wouldve been nice to know what exactly I was getting with the potato and mozzarella (no sauce and whole wheat crust)
