Max & Issy’s

This little pizza restaurant is located in Lincoln Park area, only few minutes walk from the Red line train. We were there on a Sunday, and you need to know the restaurant opens 11 am on the weekends. The menu is found on a QR code.We ordered the Veggie pizza with Pepperoni added on it. It's a thin crust, NY Style pizza.It was pretty tasty, although the crust was little more burnt than I expected. It made the pizza little bitter. Otherwise it was delicious!Sodas are served in cans, no refills!Service was good. The waitress was attentive, checked on us quite often. The restaurant has lots of tables and chairs, and seating was also available at the bar too.

Big fan of their pizzas, their ingredients are of a good quality with solid dough. Their menu offers good variety and there is a white pizza. Decent beer selection and there are a few tv's up if you want to watch a game. Nice atmosphere inside. My ONLY critique is their appetizer selection. I get that their main thing is the pizza, but I would just kill for there to be some hot wings/ cheese curds/ fries on the menu. At the moment all you've got is salads which are good, and cheese board or meatballs. If you live in the neighborhood this is a top spot for pizza IMO.

I recently visited this local pizza place and really enjoyed the food, drink, and casual ambiance! My boyfriend and I shared the Hot Honey Pepper Pizza and loved it - I think one pizza can serve 2-4 adults depending on how hungry you are (we were very hungry so sharing was perfect!). To drink, I had the Right Bee Cider which was a treat as many places don't have a cider option on draft. Service was relatively quick. We chose to sit outside, which was nice until the mosquitoes came out later in the evening so watch out for that in the summer. We'll definitely be back here!

Got delivery through DoorDash and the pizza was so fresh! The pizza was absolutely delicious and not at all oily, which I appreciated. The toppings were cut up nicely, the pizza came quickly and the hot honey was a great addition! Their ranch was also pretty tasty. Overall, I'd 100% order again!

This. Pizza. Is. Good. I ordered the pepperoni. Very much like a NYC style pizza, I'd give it 8/10!

I was super excited to try out this spot after seeing Dave Portnoys pizza review. We ordered pickup and it was ready in about 30 minutes. Ur was cute inside, dimmed lights would be cute for a date night. Started with the meatballs. These were fine, nothing special. I love NYC style pizza so I was so excited, but sadly our cheese was burnt and this was very crispy. I was hoping for more floppy, and not burnt cheese.

Solid NY style pizza! I've only tried once and it was hard to put them above Jimmy cafe and Zazza. But it was my first time. I'll be going back. Current special on Tuesdays and Wednesday they have BOGO half off.

Max & Issy's is a super cute date spot with great pizza. The inside is gorgeous and the food is incredible. They have a few unique pizzas, such as the Queen of Hearts, which is basically if spinach artichoke dip was a pizza. I had the hot honey pepper pizza and honestly whoever decided honey goes on pizza deserves an award. The pizzas only come in one size, which is 16" aka large, so you'll probably want to share. Since my girlfriend and I have different taste palates (mine being good and hers being less good), we ordered two pizzas and now we have lots of leftovers. Highly recommend stopping by for date night or just a great pizza with friends.

This is such a laid-back place in the neighborhood to eat New York style pizza. The pizza was great and the service was great however, the silverware was very cheap as well as any other utensils but if you're looking for good pizza, that's New York style. This is a place for you.

More like 3.5 stars. Good service with bar vibes. Wasn't busy on a Thursday night. We got the hot honey pizza without the goat cheese. We're not fans of goat cheese. Pizza is thin but did not hold on its own. Did not have the airy crispiness that we liked. Pizza did not have structure. Only crispy at the crust end. GF thought the pizza was drenched in hot honey and didn't taste the ingredients of the pizza but I am of hot honey, so it was good to me.
