Stopped in here with my buddy last night and it was phenomenal. Really solid pan pizza, similar style to Pequods in downtown Chicago but I actually think Burt’s was better! Nice crispy crust, good ratio of cheese to sauce and not overloaded with toppings. We also got some cheese curds and the portion was huge for the price point. Definitely worth checking out!

I was honored to have the opportunity to try a delicious pizza from Burt himself years ago when I was pregnant. I walked in one day .... he hesitated but then asked me to sit down and wait for my pizza. All he asked was what size. What a character but absolutely worth it. The pizza is still very delicious. Its a biweekly meal at our home.

Finally got to try Burt’s Place and it definitely lived up to the hype. The sauce at Pequod’s is still my favorite, but everything else here was excellent. The thicker, buttery pan-style crust and caramelized edges were delicious, and the cheese curds were some of the best I’ve ever had. The staff was great very friendly and attentive which made the experience even better. Service was quick, and everyone made us feel welcome. The patio was also a really nice touch and a perfect spot to enjoy a meal on a nice day. No wonder Anthony Bourdain called this the only deep dish pizza he ever loved. I would definitely go back.

I ordered the pepperoni pan pizza and the crust had that perfect crispy ring that really stood out. The space is modest but welcoming with fun old time touches that feel personal. Staff were kind and even took a moment to explain the seating and patio options quietly. Everything felt relaxed and unpretentious. I will be bringing friends next visit.

Been here twice. Food was excellent both times! I personally like it better than the local competitor. Prices are reasonable, service is excellent by all staff members and I cannot think of one bad thing to say about this place. I’m glad that we tried it! Pizza with the giardineria was very good and not overly spicy. Great flavor! The cannolis are made fresh when you order them, so they’re still crunchy. We will definitely be back soon.

This is probably the place. I just got a take out order and it was good. Is it my favorite- no. Would I drive outta the way to bring my family here to dine in - yes. My order was probably sitting for a half hour (my job doesn't allow for good planning), it was still good and the blackened crust was terrific. No doubt better than the P word, no doubt. Also ordered curds. Was at first turned off by the only order being $11+ they're curds, I don't want that much! They are phenomenal! And enough to last multiple people days. If u like curds from Culver's for 1/2 the price - Burts gives u 5 times as much and waaaaay better! Hell yes to Burts! Dine in, if u can

Just checked out Burt’s place in Morton grove let’s start with the welcoming, amazing! Right at home.. patio is a super plus! Pizza was amazing pan style/deep dish and I’m a thin crust guy so this says a lot! From the drinks, service, atmosphere, timing in the kitchen all around thumbs up hidden Gem! I’m happy to have a chance to enjoy the experience I did and I’ll be back! Also Laurie was our bartender/server Rockstar!

Pizza was amazing. Service was subpar. They got my pizza wrong and had to wait for another one to be made. While the other people in my group enjoyed their pizza.
