This place was such a surprising delight.
Went here on a whim based on a friend's recommendation, and boy o boy was I delighted!
As a new york native, I am always on the hunt for excellent ny thin crust, and it's rare here, truly.
But at Nancy's, the pieces were big and just the right amount of greasy. Â The trick is to hold the crust, and if the rest of the piece flops down, it's good to go.
A no-frills place that I probably would never eat in, but truly, solid, delicious, cheap food!
Tried the chicago style also, which was good too :)
I don't know how this place has bad reviews. The pizza was great! Not the best in Chicago but more than good enough to satisfy. I ordered the Veggie and Pepperoni stuffed. The Veggie was great. There were big chunks of fresh veggies that were not over cooked. The pepperoni was simply a "solid" pepperoni pizza, very tasty. The crust is very good by itself, different than most. It was very flaky and just simply delicious. The sauce was a good mix of sweet and savory with lots of basil. I thought it was great and I'm a New York Italian ( We know sauce)
The customer service was good. I originally ordered two pizzas for pickup than when I realized I didn't want to walk because it was in the opposite direction I called back and asked for delivery. They complied with no problems and the pizza was delivered shortly after I walked the 8 blocks from the train. BTW it was friday night.
If you live near Nancy's in Irving Park just order it. All my friends went on and on about how good it was and they are true Chicagoians. Its a good pizza that will satisfy and you'll be happy you tried it.
Avoid this place IT'S A COMPLETE JOKE.
I ordered a stuffed pizza and it was absolutely the worst pizza that I can remember ever eating.
The inside was uncooked, the SAUCE tasted like it had a bowl of sugar dumped in it.
The order taker on the phone is an idiot.
I have a simple last name  "MEL"  I had to repeat the name 3 times and then she asked me to spell it for her. Then I told her I wanted a medium stuffed sausage pizza for pickup & she asks me small, medium or large. Finally, when I arrived to pick it up she doesn't even have change for a 20 dollar bill.
BUT IT'S REALLY ALL ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE FOOD AND THIS FOOD SUCKS BADDDDD. We threw 3 quarters of a stuffed pizza in the garbage.
I have no idea how this crap hole dive stays in business.
The reason that this place does not accept credit cards is because of all of the disputes / charge backs from customers that they would receive.
Smart of them to accept cash only because they are not going to give you your money back.
