Every time I travel through Chicago I make it a point to get a stuffed pie. Sometimes it works out great, sometimes not so much. Unfortunately, I found my Edwardo's stuffed pie to be a huge disappointment. The texture was good, the ingredients seemed fresh. The problem is they lacked flavor. My wife agreed that it just didn't hold a candle to the pie I picked up last time through from Spuntino's, a bit west of O'Hare (also 4-stars on Yelp). And don't get me wrong, I'm no food snob. I like bad Chicago pizza, it doesn't have to be awesome to get 5 stars. The toppings were bland - I'm not sure how sausage can be bland, but it was. The crust was okay. The cheese was okay. The sauce was okay. I guess that sums up how I felt about their stuffed pizza... It was just okay (for $25+ per pie!).
Review Source:(sigh) One of the very worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. I have been to this place TWO times in the past week and  the service was very iffy the first time, the second time disgraceful.
The first time i went , it was 2:30 , and i was very excited considering Edwardos is my FAVORITE pizza and i live in the south suburbs so traveling all the way to Chicago isn't so fun.
The First time i went was just okay. Not bad, Not good. The Food Was excellent though!
But the second time was absolutely terrible.
My Hubby , My friend, and I were out for black friday and we decide to go get pizza because we all were hungry and i knew this was best place to quench it at the time.
We get there and its full pretty much. As soon as we walk in, i go up to the counter and ask for a table for three. We go sit down at an open booth, and as we sit some old lady just stares at us when we sit and even turns around to look at us. Whatever.
The waitress comes and asks what we want to drink , my friend orders and i don't. i order the Edwardos Special w/NO MUSHROOMS. and i repeat it. She says okay , Takes The order to the kitchen and that's that. I notice that Every single table has bread on it but ours. and i see other waitresses bringing out bread to people. Wtf?
After 5 minutes i decide i should make the pizza larger and it was already in the oven, so i order a small stuffed. As time goes by (about 20 Minutes or so) she brings out the pizza and it has  mushrooms on it(alot of them) I already wasn't feeling well so my hub and friend go up to tell them about the pizza. They only got 3 word answers and they didn't even act like it mattered that she messed up the order. The WORST part is when they were walking back to the table, my hubby SAW the chef withOUT gloves , whip his nose on his hand, and then puts his hand BACK IN THE PIZZA DOUGH. -_______-
They come back to the table and the waitress comes up with and attitude saying "Do you want me to remake it or just take it off the bill." with absolutely NO apology. I say just take it off. She walks away . My hubby and friend decided after seeing the chef contaminate the dough they want to leave. So before we left, my friend calls over another waitress to ask her about speaking to a manager .
"Is the manager here?, Because I'd like to speak with them."
"No not at the moment."
"Well , Who is your supervisor?
"Joe."
"Can I speak to him please?"
"he's not here."
"Well, Who's in charge?"
"The Other Waitress."
"can i just speak with her then?"
She says okay and walks away. Meanwhile, My friend said he saw the girl walk in the kitchen and just talk about it with attitude and hand gestures , while  the waitress that served us gave him dirty looks. At That point it was the final straw and we got up and left immediately.
So disappointing, the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. Whats even worse is this Edwardos was my 2nd Favorite after the Lincoln Park location. I dint even know if i will ever give this place a chance again. for now, its to Lincoln Park i go.
I love this place because their deep dish is amazing!! I always get the pizza to go because there is so much cheese on there it is somewhat embarassing eating it in front of others. Also, I love to stuff my face and really don't want others to see my inner animal attacking the pizza. Just saying.
I love the fact that they offer a whole wheat crust but my general feeling is that if you are having a deep dish pizza, just go all the way.
Mow my favorite part, the cheese.... eat the pizza while it is really hot or wait for it to cook because if it is in the middle area, you are likely to choke on the cheese. YUM!
The sauce is amazing, most other places in the area are known for sweet sauces. DISGUSTING! The sauce here is amazing! The perfect balance of natural sweetness and tang.
Really not good. Â We got a thin crust b/c we didn't want stuffed and the sauce was terrrible. Â Processed for sure with tons of dried oregano...just bitter and no tomato flavor whatsoever. Â I just don't get it. Â I don't remember their stuffed sauce tasting like this but it's been a while. Â Won't be back. Â Also, way too much cheese (usually not a bad thing but quality lacking)...maybe trying to hide that crappy sauce. Â Very dissapointed.
Review Source:The best stuffed in the area. The ingredients don't seem to be as fresh as the Hyde Park Location, but it's still good. The option for whole wheat crust is great.
I went to dine in for stuffed...45-50 min wait for my mouthwatering meal. Up walks the waitress to tell us that they accidentally boxed up our pizza and gave it to someone for carry out. She even asked if we wanted to wait for another one. Ha! The server felt really bad, but her sorrow didn't warm my belly. I still left there hungry. Mistakes happen, I'd still go back, for carry out only though.
I moved away from "the Region" back in 1997; and ever since then I have not been able to find "stuffed" deep dish pizza that is anywhere close to being as good as Edwardo's. Â Fortunately, my brother still lives a couple of blocks from this place and I can go there anytime I visit him. Â
The prices are reasonable and the food is mmm.... quite filling. Â Try the stuffed pizza with spinach and mushrooms. Â You can get full off of one slice and the sauce is uniquely sweet and the cheese is unbelievably stringy. Â The decor is typical for a restaurant in that part of the country...nothing fancy...but who cares. Â The place is usually packed on Friday and Saturday nights, filled with heavy-set people who look like they eat there alot, although there are alot of "big people" in Northwest Indiana.
Living in NWI, the Chicago-style pizza giants (eg Lou Malnati's, Giordano's, Uno, etc) are not present in the area. We just got a Gino's East in Highland, IN last year, none of the others mentioned previously are around (unless you count the Uno Chicago Grill, which I certainly do not), and the locals are hit or miss when it comes to deep dish/stuffed pizza. But I am grateful that Edwardo's has always been around...
My favorite will always be Giordano's, but Edwardo's is close second. And this location does it well. It's like Edwardo's is Giordano's extra-cheesy cousin, which is exactly what sometimes hits the spot...Mmm...Melty....
I've been to this location numerous times and the service has always been great. We've had the same server the last two times for our table of 5-6 and she's been lovely...I just wish I remembered her name to give a proper shout-out! Always keeps us updated with the pizza status (remember, stuffed takes 45 minutes!), keeps our drinks filled as well as our cracker-appetizer things...Never had a bad experience at this place...It's pretty plain and simple inside, but I won't hold it against them...Great food, great service, 5 stars!
i havent had Edwardos in quite awhile....not sure why but just one of thoise things....but let me tell you i have missed this place...
i think i was in 8th grade visiting an aunt in rodgers park when i had my first edwardos pie....i still remember my reaction when i heard her oredering SPINACH on a pizza....14 yo's dont do spinach lol...
but not to be rude i gave it a try and OMG i have been hooked ever since....and then having them open a place in my little corner of the world made me a very happy girl...
so saturday me and some friends were at a wine tasting at Santori's Liquor store...and someone mentione lets get pizza and although Beggars is right across the street....we decided on Edwardos....we placed a call and ordered a large stuffed spinach....seated right away when we got there and in a short 20 minutes our pie was placed down in front of us.....
it was as wonderful as i remembered....hot gooey cheese, tasty sauce and filled with spinach....a little pricey, about $25.00 for a large, but worth every yummi bite... great friendly service....beers and pizza for four got us out of there for around $50.00 ( yah ok beer after a wine tasting so shoot me lol )
it was like finding a long lost friend.....Edwardo? Â i hope i dont forget you again....
You know what's pretty awesome about Edwardo's Pizza? Â I haven't had it since, like, 8th grade when my older sister worked at the now defunct location in Libertyville, but it's still exactly the same...Mindblowingly excellent.
Consistency is key.
This location is an absolute dump. Â However, if you've read my reviews, you'll realize I have no problem going to the shadiest locations ever in pursuit of good food. Â Don't let the kind of icky decor deter you from enjoying this pizza.
The lunch special is CRAZY cheap. Â For $6.29 you get a soda, a salad and a personal pizza with one topping. Â A ridiculously large amount of food for what equals the amount of spare change that is probably rolling round in my car? Â Excellent.
The pizza...ZOMG. Â Edwardo's seasons their crust something fierce so every bite is delish. Â I also enjoy the fact that Edwardo's doesn't get hog-wild with the spinach. Â It's there, but not overwhelming.
When the check came, three meals totaled to just a few cents over $20. Â My sales rep, manager and I looked at the bill and actually laughed. Â $20? Â Are you kidding? Â You could eat out every day on welfare at Edwardo's!
This place is awesome.
I am hooked on Edwardo's pizza. The luncheon special is pricey (for lunch) but terrific - a small pizza and salad for around $8. If you dine in, it includes the crispy-crackery things and a drink which does make it a bargin.
Staff runs hot and cold - sometimes friendly, sometimes not. The newly renovated dining room is lovely.
Call ahead - WAY AHEAD - for delivery or carry out. Â They start taking lunch orders at 9am!
