Their deep dish pizza is one of the best pizzas I have ever had and it was always consistently great. Great service very friendly, along with an atmosphere I liked. Good draft beers too. Many date nights here spent 30$ to 60$ on my girlfriend and I. Overall we hope they open again soon!

The pizzas were amazing. I have been looking for deep dish pizzas and I must tell you this is the place to go. I have been there about three to four times. They also have a bar. Would love to try those beer next time. They have two types of vegetarian pizza Blackbird and Melrose. The size of the pizza is big atleast for 4 to 6 people The ambience is pretty chill.

Blackbird pizza shop is a quaint dine in restaurant that specializes in their one is a kind deep dish pies. It’s located in the heart of Melrose street and next to many eateries. Parking is easy to find on the side streets, and good thing about this place is it doesn’t get that busy so easy to grab a seat. They have tables and they also welcome walk Ins at the center bar with a wide range of beers and wines. Service was cool and hip with projectors and cool graffiti and art work on the walls. The menu is straight to the point deep dish pies and personal signature thing crust pizzas with specialty appetizers, that you would find at a pizza joint. If you love a low key pizza place this is for you. Also everything is very shareable so be cautious of that!

Very chill pizza stop on Melrose. Quick service. Decently long wait time after ordering, but the food was filling and worth the wait and the price. Personal size deep dish pizza is deceptively filling and very good. Squid Ink Pasta took a long while, but was delicious. Decent amount of indoor with some outdoor seating. No wifi of note. Free parking nearby, with paid parking closer. Melrose is a super busy shopping street, so be aware of that and all that brings.

First off, the name Black Bird Pizza should already have you curious on what this place is about. As for the food, well let's jump right into it... The deep dish is made perfectly and they'll stuff it with toppings of your choice. The Brooklyn style thin crust pizza was actually some of the best pizza I've ever had, as you can see I went with pineapples on one side and traditional pepperoni on the other side. The chicken wings are really really good and I recommend getting them every time you go, only complaint that I have is they don't offer Ranch they only give you blue cheese. The service is extremely nice and people friendly which is always a plus, last but not least is pricing.... This place is very affordable! You can eat great food and not worry about a huge bill once you've finished your meal. Overall, Black Bird Pizza is a must try for any and all Pizza Heads out there who haven't tried it yet.

Who doesn’t love pizza! Plus, these are some unique little deep dish pies. In all honesty, I’m not a fan of marinara, so for the folks out there who dislike a lot of tomato, be weary. We ordered just one pie for two of us and it was more than enough. I would have like to try more but the pizza is loaded. It had a nice thick layer of tomato sauce and real chunks of tomato still mixed in with pepperoni and a thick layer of mozzarella that pulled apart like in a commercial, mouthwatering. The crust was thin but toasty enough to keep its structure. I loved the baked cloves of garlic and you could still taste the fresh oregano and basil it was topped with. It was so good, but I feel like the tomato was just too much, FOR ME and my stomach. Just my personal opinion. Other than that the food was fairly priced, it was a nice experience dining inside especially once they started playing funk. I will definitely have to return to try something new.
