7 Reviews for Fox's Oak Lawn Restaurant & Pizza
My BF and I have boycotted this place. Every Saturday night we would order out from them, even though they're pricey. The last time we did, we tried ordering online to get the 10% discount, only the website doesn't work. When we called the order in and mentioned this discount they gave us a really hard time about it since it's online only - well then fix your freakin website! After 20 min of going back and forth they were going to give it to us, then "all of the sudden" they said they no longer deliver past Kedzie. We're ONE BLOCK past Kedzie. They change their policy, don't notify customers (but they sure still send mailings to us PAST Kedzie) and when we want the discount we deserve after all the business we gave them, their rules change? Screw this place. There are plenty of other burger/pizza places in this area to bother ordering from them.
I've been playing music here for 4 years now and that will NOT influence my review here.
The food is really, really good. Over the past four years, they have improved their menu immensely. Adding plenty of new dishes, and even improving some of the existing ones, while leaving many of them alone. One thing that helps my appetite review here, is their kitchen is really clean. I'm a stickler for clean kitchens ... call it my ' White Glove ' approach. Their crew routinely cleans the kitchen through out the night. Being a cool musician, I have access to waltz around the place, so I notice these things :-)
When you speak of pizza ... you speak of Fox's. Leave the weighed down, over eating thick crust stuff for some other joint ... Fox's has the BEST thin crust pizza in all of Chicago.
The decor in the restaurant has been updated for a cool, young vibe. Plenty of seating, bar & booth seating w/ nightly entertainment.
You can also order out, but it's nice to go in and sit to enjoy. Located just minutes from Midway Airport on South Cicero Avenue.
You also get that south side wit & attitude w/ the staff too, they're great.

The food was good, although I don't remember what it was..The inside is a little special (old fashioned). Somebody was singing some goofy music..Its an ok neighborhood spot..
I'll go back eventually,when I want to splurge on a few extra calories...

Best memory of this place: Coming here with my boyfriend on a Friday in Lent, ordering an extra large thin crust cheese pizza, and devouring it between the two of us in 7 minutes flat. That one instance set the bar so much higher for any other thin crust cheese pizza I've had since.
It's the default place to go after funerals in my family as well. For cheap buffet style dining, it's as decent as you can really get for the price.

This place has a decent pizza and I am always getting coupons to come back and get more pizza so of course I go back. The place has goo prices already so I am getting a real good deal. My favorite is the Meatzza pizza which has sausage, pepperoni, Italian beef, and ham on it which really tasty. They also have pretty good steaks and burgers here too. The service here is good for the the most part. Overall it is not going to be an earth moving dining experience but you will get consistency here. They do have private party rooms here too in case you have a group.

When I went here I liked the pizza even though it could have been better. It's an okay place to go to. Reasonable prices.
Check out there bbq chicken pizza. One word: DELICIOUS!
