Lena’s Pizza

Don’t do the Buffalo Wings… horrible.
Pizza is ok… nothing to write home about.
Owner is obnoxious… yells at staff… in front of customers

I know they have better food here, but last night was awful. I ordered the breaded steak and wanted to give their buffalo wings a try. Never had neither. Such a disappointment.
The breaded steak was like rubber, also the piece of steak they used was as thin as a slice of beef for a beef sandwich. The breading was massive and it was such a let down. Don’t order the breaded steak.
The buffalo wings, I ordered them spicy. They came bone dry. It’s as if they took them out of the SAMs club bag and cooked them for you. Also they are $ 13.65 for a dozen. I know that’s a lot for wings but I was expecting some thing special. What a waste. I threw them out after 2. They tasted awful. No sauce on them at all. Don’t order the buffalo wings…
All together if you check my reviews I love the small neighborhood spots but tonight just was a terrible selection on my part and I felt the need to warn people about these two selections.
My job of sharing the information to you has come to an end, Unilocal ON my brothers and sisters.

Delivery time was great. Delivery man couldn’t be nicer. My problem was besides a bland taste the pizza stuck to the bottom. Not cool. I will give them another chance to win me back.

Pizza is good, sauce is perfect. All the food here is pretty good. If you want a sweet tasting sauce Lena’s sauce on the pizza isn’t sweet. I personally do not like sweet pizza sauce so Lena’s is my go to place around my house

Ordered a calzone while visiting my mom; very tasty and not too expensive. The garlic bread, on the other hand, was made with thin Italian bread and almost dried out.

Pizza wasn’t that bad. I mean, the cheese tasted like rubber. Everything fell apart when we cut it. Un edible. Not very bad but clean restaurant. Except when they leave they’re door open. Bugs crawling everywhere. :(just close the door!

This is less than a review about how they are and more about how they WERE. When the original owner had the place, it was a pretty good pizza. Now, even though I believe the owner is a long time worker at Lena’s, it isn’t the same. Things have slowly changed over the years. The few times I went in for slices, they weren’t too good. They re-​heat them in their oven and it dries the slices out. They ought to get a decent warmer like Positano’s. It’s too bad. The guys there are friendly, but this isn’t about personality.

Okay I guess tasted better pizza, but its convenient and not pricey at all. The cheese in my opinion tastes rubbery.

The boyfriend & I wanted good, inexpensive non-​gourmet pizza that wasn’t too far away from home. Giodano’s is pricy & takes forever to deliver (yet they are closest to us) but we came across Lena’s on one of our walks. It smelled so good that we remembered the name of the place! The following day, we decided to order. We got our delivery a few minutes earlier than quoted, the pizza was pretty loaded & fresh. The boyfriend loved their fresh-​tasting sauce & the price was affordable. It was a bit greasy but given all the problems we’ve come across with cheaper pizzas, this was a minor issue. We plan on ordering them again & ordering more items to see if they are worth upgrading.

Good pizza because of the fresh ingredients but nothing special nothing signature about it

This place is really close to my house.
Slices = convenient.
Pizza = good. For some reason, its not as good as the slices.
Pasta = very good.
Other food my husband and I have tried = very good.

I tried their pizza by the slice and was just «ok» it was pepperoni. The pepperoni was kinda cheap. The owner is really nice and they have really good Italian lemonade. So far thats all I tried. I noticed another joint across the street called Ciprianis and the reviews here say its pretty darn good. So far I tried their slice (sausage) and it was pretty decent. I hear their stuffed is close to Giordanos greatness so I will be ordering tonight to see. The review will be under Ciprianis in a few days.

Great neighborhood place. Hot pizza delivered quick. A true Chicago pizza!

The pizza here is good. Their thin crust can be a bit on the bready side at times, but it’s an overall good pie. The service is friendly and prompt for pick-​ups and I have always gotten a good, hot pizza which is the one that I ordered and ready when they say it will be. If all you want is a slice, they are happy to warm one up to fresh baked goodness in minutes. As far as pizza goes, I order from here often.
