If you're in Chicago and craving Italian comfort food, Punky's Pizza & Pasta is a must-visit. Nestled at 2600 S Wallace St, this quaint eatery has garnered a loyal following, thanks to its standout dishes like the gargantuan chicken bacon ranch wrap. Diners rave about its generous portions, combining taste and value in a way that’s hard to beat.

While the pizza has its admirers, many customers hold the wraps in particularly high regard. For instance, one enthusiastic patron described it as their "new favorite spot," emphasizing both the size and flavor of their wrap. The authentic Chicago vibe permeates the atmosphere, making each visit feel nostalgic.

That said, service seems to have room for improvement. A few reviews mention a lack of warmth from the staff, with some patrons hoping for a friendly greeting. However, the strong flavors and satisfying meals make these minor hiccups easily forgivable.

In summary, bring your appetite to Punky's; you won't leave hungry. Just be prepared for a no-frills dining experience that focuses on delicious food over small talk.

Reviews For Punky's Pizza & Pasta

We love the food at this place. Emphasis on the wraps. They are damn good. The pizza will fill a craving if you have one but it’s fine. The white boy at the counter who’s always there is one of the least friendly people. Doesn’t say anything to you, emotionless. Actually no one says anything or makes eye contact really, bizarre. It’s okay though because I love the wraps, but a hi would be cool lol

Went here with a friend for the first time and the girl working at the register made the best suggestions. I got a wrap that she always gets and let me tell you it was delicious!!! New favorite spot. I got the chicken bacon ranch wrap and it was huge.

The pizza here is awesome. It has a very authentic Chicago feel to it. Everything is reasonable priced and the atmosphere of the restaurant is diner style. Would recommend.

Had a catering order for lunch at the office in the loop and all the food came fresh and was absolutely delicious. First time trying this Bridgeport staple and will 100% be returning to try more menu items on my own.

I get food here almost every week and I've never been disappointed at anything I've tried. Fresh, flavorful salads, creamy, comforting soups and the very best eggplant parm I've ever had. Even the desserts leave nothing to be desired. Perfectly yummy.
