PureWow: Roots mozzarella sticks are indisputably the best in town . First, they’re nice and thick (mm, more room for cheese ); second, that cheese is fresh, house-made mozzarella .

Eater

Specialty creations include a taco pizza : taco seasoned crumbled sausage with mozzarella band cheddar , topped with lettuce, diced tomatoes and taco-seasoned chips ; and a gluten-free pizza . Read more

On the Grid

By using dark roasted malt in their crust, they create a thick, sweet, and marvelous base for some delicious pie concoctions . It’s not traditional – but it’s a treat. Read more

You would think I'd start with the pizzas , but the hidden gem here are the salads . Build your own salad is the way to go (with a side of pizza or panza sticks).

John Lawson

Fantastic pizza menu but that's not all. Get a load of my "build your own salad "! And the beer list is impressive. Great staff . Get here!

Erica

I love everything on the menu. My personal faves are the buffalo lollipop wings , monkey bread , and the Chicago style hot dog ... But the pizza is great too! They have awesome sauce!

Grace Aldridge

Nicer pizza place with a gigantic beer list . Get the homemade mozzarella sticks and feel your organs get coated with wonderful, delicious grease.

Time Out Chicago

The shtick at Roots is that it hawks pizza in the style of the Quad Cities . Our deep dish is divisive. The Quad Cities style is universally adored. Read more

Time Out Chicago

The shtick at Roots is that it hawks pizza in the style of the Quad Cities—that is, pizza with maltthat’s cut with scissors. Turns out the Quad Cities style can cross county lines and be successful. Read more

We just stopped for appetizers and beer but the calamari and monkey bread were perfect.

David Hill

Pizza is in the name, but their salads are great. Very filling and lots of variety. There's even a salad with grilled calamari .

Gilt City

Everything at Roots—from the mozzarella to the sausage to the sauce—is freshly made from scratch, in-house. As they say at Roots, “the only thing we keep in the freezer is ice.”

BlackboardEats

These aren’t your typical greasy sticks. Gooey logs made completely from scratch with house made mozzarella and garlic breadcrumbs that pair perfectly with their selection of 70 Midwest beers .

Scott Wolf

MOZZARELLA STICKS!!! Whatever you do, do not leave without trying the mozzarella sticks ! The mozzarella is made in house, and worth the trip alone.

John Carlson

Authentic QC pizza . Soft crust and the sausage pizza was just like I remembered it. Love this place.

Joe Payawal

The Italian beef sandwich is absolutely to die for. Get it with mozzarella and hot peppers . Choice of waffle fries , sweet potato tots , or broccoli . It's a huge sandwich .

Jen

Plenty of outdoor seating & you can view the TVs from outside, so it's perfect for watching games! Plus great salad , pizza , & calzones

Time Out Chicago

Wackier varieties of the Quad-cities style pie include taco pizza , teeming with mozzarella , shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and tortilla chips . Olé? Read more

Lindsey Woody

The beer list at Roots is comprised of beers from Midwestern breweries ; if you like "drinking local," are an Untappd user, or are over the usual beer options , check it out!

James Feeley III

Great spot, good craft beer an cocktails , try the monkey bread , Italian need and pizza !

Manoj Ambalavanan

Really enjoyed the korean bbq pizza - some cool collabs but not all of them great

David Hill

Not Chicago style , but a great pie nonetheless. Not feeling pizza then make your own salad ...They have lots of fun ingredients.

Jack VanOverloop

Mozzarella sticks best in the city . Still thinking about the Big Mac pizza too.

Mary Bradford

The beer bread sticks with cheddar sauce are so good I truly crave them on a weekly basis.

Jessica Thiel

The pizza is organic and homemade ! They also have delicious salads !

Phil Bernardi

the waitresses are all very good-looking! oh, the house beer and the house-made mozzarella sticks are fabulous.

Art Lawry

Taco pizza and mozzarella sticks . Add a Chicago Way if you like a little Malört. So good.

Natalie Ferris

Antique taco pizza , rock city arsenal fold over, mozzarella sticks are the best in the city !

Imani Muhammad

Taco Pizza was great! 1/2 bottles of wine on Tuesday ????

Patricia Nicandro

After the meal, you get a hot towel to cleanse your hands (at least in the winter). Kinda like going to a Japanese restaurant ...nice touch.

Frank Zarate

Sit at the bar and order yourself a beer , mozzarella sticks and a pizza . You'll be happy you did.

Rebecca Rickert

Pizza , mozzarella sticks and probably the best build your own salad around!!

Time Out Chicago

Try the mozzarella sticks from our 100 Best list: You’ve got to give props to a mozzarella stick whose mozz is made in-house.

Jillian Burnickas

I spent more time reading the beer list than the menu. Their pizza is awesome.

Dana Tedesco

I'd skip the pizza rage and BUILD YOUR OWN SALAD . It comes tossed for you w/ several different ingredient choices. It's a hearty & filling size too!

Mike

Mozzerella sticks and the beer list really add to the amazing pizza

Chirag Patel

Great regional beer selection . Build your own salad is cool. Everything else is on the heavy side.

T Callahan

Try the new drafts . Arcade's Graveyard is a go-to for those early mornings ????

Carly B.

Open storefront, great craft beer selection and really good calamari !

Jenn LeFlore

The tomato , avocado , mozz salad is everything! Not a fan of cilantro ? Just switch to honey dressing

Charlie Ferreira

It just opened on May 31, give it a couple of weeks to get service right. Place is too big for the staff to currently handle. Be ready for loud people enjoying the libations. Nice sitting with windows

Chirag Patel

Build your own salad is great. Good ingredients and everything is finely chopped.

Andy Swindler

Good pizza , solid beer list . Calamari is pretty skimpy for the price.

Rob Rickard

Its a pretty cool place. Free Pizza at the bar after 10 on Wednesdays. But the pizza is not one of my top picks in Chicago.

Xandrea Rapier

Grilled shrimp & calamari is delicious if your looking for a healthy option .

Mike S

Really good pizza and the fresh squeezed lemonade is awesome. If you want a mixed drink ask for a Naughty Lemonade .

Rick Rapp

Great build your own salad option!

baxter sarah

Taco pizza is about as close to perfect as mere mortals can muster.

Sarah Lee
