Ranalli's Pizza Bar - West Loop, Chicago

All I can say is WOW! We came here for a Bears game and the atmosphere was iconic. We had so much fun. Everyone gets very lively and involved if there is a game on. There are 2 bars and TVs everywhere. If you want to watch the game, you should get there early as it got packed very quickly. Even though there was lots of people the wait time for food was not long, and the service didn’t disappoint. They are known for their pizza and wings, but other great options as well like the 4C smashburger which was cooked perfectly.

Ranalli's is a popular sports bar in the heart of West Loop. It's a go-to spot for locals especially during game days. They also have a complimentary shuttle service to and from United Center which is about ten minutes down the street - perfect for pregaming Bulls and Blackhawks games! We decided to catch the Lions vs. Bucs divisional round game and try their renowned pizza. We immediately felt the excitement in the air. The place was packed and there were TVs broadcasting the game from every angle. Starting off with appetizers, we ordered the fried cheese curds and bruschetta. The cheese curds were everything you'd expect - crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and served with marinara and ranch for dipping. They were a hit - 5 out of 5, would get again. The bruschetta, topped with fresh vine tomatoes, provided a nice contrast to the cheesy indulgence of the curds, though I wouldn't necessarily get it again - 4 out of 5. For our mains, we went with the Hot Honey Soppressata Pizza. It was a flavor explosion - the spicy soppressata paired perfectly with the sweetness of the hot honey, and the dollops of whipped ricotta added a creamy finish. It was so good, we gave it a 5 out of 5. The only downside was that our leftovers didn't heat up well. I'm an expert at reheating leftover pizzas, so I was disappointed when I tried to eat my leftovers, but it was too dry. The staff at Ranalli's were attentive and friendly, ensuring our glasses were always full. It's definitely a hotspot during game days, so making a reservation in advance is a smart move. We will be returning to watch more games and indulge in cheese curds, beer, and pizza!

This is such a great neighborhood spot! Can’t go wrong with the pizza and beer! Staff is super friendly! Service is great! The tater tots are yummmmmmy!

The crispiest tator tots! Great burgers and wings but the added chicken to the salad was dry. Good variety of menu options. The service was kind of slow, but overall a good experience. Go to the trivia on Wednesday nights!

Nat was a great bartender handling a late night Hawks game group. Speedy, kind and smiling. The manager came out and checked on costumers, made sure all were happy. Great experience and I recommend the pepperoni pizza. Can't wait to visit again.

Order this: House Italian Salad, The Honey Hot Soppressata pizza ( a little spicy), and an frosty cold Son of Juice IPA. Oh and the Cookie Ice Cream Skillet... Yes. So good. I love Ranalli's West Loop for their quality, affordability and for the rides to and from the United Center on may occasions.
