J B Alberto’s Pizza

I did a little research on JB Alberto’s this morning and I found out
that they have been around since 1967!
Wow! I was 6 years old in 1967 and had I known then what I know
now about JB’s I would have been bugging my Mom to get on the
phone and call JB’s for. No, not Salad! But Pizza!
However, in all fairness to JB’s, I don’t think they would have delivered
to my house in Logan Square from Rogers Park.
So, now I reside in East Rogers Park and JB’s is close by, right off the
Morse Street Red Line Stop.
My 35 year old son actually introduced me to JB Alberto’s, so I will give
him major props for this because Boy, do I like this place!
There’s really much to Love here Folks,
From the Pan Pizza to pizza by the slice, you can’t go wrong.
Now, unfortunately I really can’t eat much pizza anymore because
all that gooey cheese and stuff can really clog up your arteries and
then you wind up in the hospital yadda, yadda.
So, I order lotsa salads, okay, with grilled chicken and boy, do I love
those!
I’ve been eating lotsa lettuce stuff lately, and okay, yes, I feel kind
of bad that I’m stealing the Bunnies Lettuce Supply but they need to
get over that!
Hey, they still have their carrots, lord knows I won’t steal those
cause boy, do I hate carrots!
JB’s also has really good sandwiches and pasta, broasted chicken, fish,
a pretty big menu with many choices/​options.
Now, for the record, this is definitely more a take out/​delivery place, and they
are constantly busy.
With good reason.
Because it truly says a lot knowing that a place has been around for
49 years, to me it says that JB’s is all about quality, and food that keeps
your customers coming back.
If you haven’t been to JB Alberto’s in Rogers Park stop on by!
Open Daily at 4pm.
On Sundays I believe they open at 3.
Daily Specials too!
JB Alberto’s, definitely worth a visit…

So I have just downloaded Unilocal to write this review. Not only does the food taste amazing but delivery is fast and early if anything. The Italian beef extra extra thin pizza is the best Italian beef pizza I’ve ever had. Loaded fries great and breaded chicken sandwich is the best. Will definitely order again and again and I can’t wait to try more from JB Alberto’s!

I had a Christmas Eve party and needed help with the food. J. Albertos is in my neighborhood and so I thought I’d give them a try. I had them bring a full tray of lasagna, a half tray of mac and cheese and 50 pieces of chicken. Everything went great and it was delivered on time and the food was yummy. My only complaint is that I asked that the chicken be packaged in ½ size pans so, it would fit in the sterno pan along with the mac and cheese, with the lasagna in the other sterno pan. Well, they put the chicken in full size pans so, I didn’t have anywhere to put the mac and cheese. If they had gotten that right, I would have given five stars. But otherwise they were a pleasure to deal with and the food was good.

For the 2^nd time delivery was over an hour for a Pizza and wings. Ice cold food! No apology from anyone and rude in fact when I called to get an ETA on delivery. Delivery guy said not his problem he leaves when they give him the food. I live in a 62 unit building and posted my experience on their menu and placed it in every common area — they will not be getting business in this building anymore. Over you people at JB Slow as hell! Owner or manager did call to address after the delivery and offered a 3 credit on my account — too late they can keep it. 2 times is too much — too bad food is good.

Delicious, delicious pizza and consistently the slowest service I’ve experienced. I always order online — it tells you pickup time is 30 minutes. Today I showed up 45 minutes later. I was told it would be ready in 3 minutes. I waited 45 more minutes. Then was told there was a mistake and it would take 20 more minutes. It took another 40 minutes.
This isn’t even the first time this has happened.
Again, the pizza is delicious and the staff are pretty friendly but. This is a take out/​delivery only restaurant. Why can’t they handle pickup orders?
I would avoid this place unless you’ve got a lot of time on your hands.

I give this place 5 stars for customer services, food was ready on time, & their pizza is terrific! The dough, the sauce, the cheese, & the meats are all delicious! I love their deep dish! I would recommend this place first to anyone!
Also if your walking in expect it to be a bit busy this place is a stacked house but at least you can enjoy smelling some good cooking! :)

Ok, so I feel bad that I had some bad blood with them late winter. I have found them to be an excellent pizza joint again. They have won me back as a regular customer. I had always liked this pizza for many years and had a slight mishap with them for delivering extremely late and sending burnt pizza. Since then I’ve received my pizza on time and taste pretty amazing.

Ounce for ounce the undisputed best thin crust pizza in the USA! (I usually it with sausage, onions and black olives.) Try it! The secret is in sweet pizza sauce and the excellent crust. Oh so good!

Absolutely love this place, so much so that my brother. Came in town tonight from KC. He asked about Chicago style pizza and I immediately thought of JB Alberta Pizza. I bought a slice which they offer while we waited and gave my brother a bite, he was like Italian Delight which is a popular place in KC. Bro was like, «oh yea da bomb»! So I’m happy, he enjoyed it as much as i do, keep up the good work JB!

Love the pizza here! Especially the Giant, its like a tradition for us to order the Giant every Superbowl, we’ve been doing this for the past three years. Speaking of which, football season is in, Go Bears!!!
Aside from that, whenever I got free time, I like two grab a sausage slice.
Only downside is that I wished they had more drink options.

We ordered a 16 in. pepperoni and sausage pizza with mozzarella sticks and it came with a free qt of RC. I read that your pizza will be delivered in 20 minutes on Unilocal,but it took an hour like they said on the phone. Not a big deal though because that’s normal for most pizza places. The pizza was really good. Really cheesy and flavorful. The mozzarella sticks were also pretty good. It says on their menu that they make their sauce and use fresh produce daily so that’s also a huge plus.

I live a few blocks away from here so I eat here all the time. Pizza is 4 star but the ribs weren’t that good to me a little flavorless I’ve had them twice weeks apart
It was good enough not to get a refund but compared to the pizza it was a let down
I still go here for pizza a lot mostly by the slice

Two Words: Fried Chicken! No seriously, I work super long hours so when I’m exhausted and need to order out after my long day plus commute, I opt to order something I can utilize into other meals. Chicken rocks my world because it can be used in Frittatas, a scramble, a sandwich chunked or made into chicken salad. Add it to a rice bake or pasta! It’s endless. SO my point is that JB Alberto’s creates such a fresh hot fried chicken box that suffices all my lasting weekly meals.
This chicken is so flavorful and cooked to perfection. Always delivered hot to my door to satisfy my immediate hunger. I opt for the 12 piece to last me thru my next few days. JB’s can rival flavor to any name brand out there. I am always impressed and very thankful. I do recommend when u get that craving or need a longer term solution in this still hot weather. * if only they had biscuits!!!

Very good Pizza! Don’t believe the haters! You’ll get your pizza in under 20mins!
I only eat the pizza! Single slices available & pizza orders come with a free 1ltr of soda!
Only thing is they open late at 4pm, not sure why they don’t open earlier on Sundays for football games? They do close very late for all you stoners & drunkards!
Their delivery service is ok, best go & pick up it up if you live in the area.

Picked up a 16in thin crust cheese pizza for the first time tonight and was delighted to find out it came with a free 1liter drink! Pizza tastes great so I’ll be ordering from here again soon!

Decent pizza. The cheese could use some work. Kudos to being open til 2am. I’ve been spoiled by the likes of Giordano’s, so I’m a tad critical when it comes to sauce, crust & mozzarella. JB Alberto’s was there for me when I couldn’t get Giordano’s.

I absolutely love their thin crust pizza. It isn’t shy either — it’s a great crust with tons of cheese/​toppings plus a really great sauce — sweet and rich. Delivery is always hot and their delivery guys are super friendly. It’s consistently delicious and their garlic bread is amazing. It’s probably clogging my arteries, but it’s totally worth it.

Damn.
This might have been the ugliest/​messiest pizza I’ve ever seen, see for yourself.
I ordered a «stuffed» pizza and it came looking all unstuffed, and stuff.
I usually don’t complain (everybody says that, but I swear I don’t).
Their only answer was «well maybe next time don’t order a stuffed pizza for delivery.» Really? You’d say that to a customer?, you KNOW the pizza comes to your door looking like soup, so you don’t try to find a better way to transport it or just say you don’t deliver them at all? FOH!
I’m a huge fan of J B Alberto’s and I would like to continue ordering from them, but due to the bad experiences you will encounter in the future for «complaining» to a pizza place, I’m sorry to say, that me and you J B Alberto’s aren’t working out.
Side note: I ordered 2 items (one pizza, one order of rings) and they forget 1 of them (can you guess which one?)

I was craving pizza all day. I finally gave in and ordered delivery at 10pm. The pizza came 20 minutes earlier than expected. The toppings on the deep dish pizza were in perfect balance and they were actually on top of the cheese. I feel like some Chicago deep dish has too much sauce, but the amount on this pizza was just right. It satisfied my craving!
The medium pizza also came with a free liter of soda!

THIS IS THE WORST PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD
I tried this place twice and both times I’ve had to put the pizza in the oven because it was so horribly under cooked that it was inedible.
Last night, the driver wouldn’t come up to my 2^nd floor apartment. Hell, he didn’t even come in the front door. I was starving, so I just wanted to get the pizza upstairs and eat it… I opened the box, it was cut insanely uneven (45 years in business and you guys can’t cut a pizza right?!) I had to get out the pizza cutter. Then I could barely eat one slice because all I could taste was raw pizza dough. I ordered the double decker cheese. Absolutely disgusting.
Honestly, I am not one to write bad reviews. I also am not a picky pizza eater. I just don’t understand the praise this place gets. I should’ve just walked across the street and bought a frozen pizza.
