First off, parking is challenging around here and be sure to make a reservation if you can because on a Friday evening, the wait time for walk-ins was around 45 minutes when we got there. Thank goodness I had a reservation, and they seated us right away! I got excited by the guava in the one-two punch cocktail, but I thought it was a bit too tart for my preference. I ordered the dates for an appetizer, and those were delicious. I wish they provided bread with it because the sauce is so delicious. I LOVE cacio e pepe, so I order it anytime I see it on a menu. Theirs was good, but I thought it was a bit on the salty side, however delicious nonetheless. I saw that the lamb sausage pizza is one of their popular items, so I also ordered that. I missed that it has olives, and I was already kinda nervous about the eggplant. The lamb sausage pizza is okay. The lamb flavor isn't prominent in the sausage, and I thought the olives were overpowering. I tried a slice of my husband's bacon and shrimp pizza. It's a lovely mix of salty, sweet, and spicy from the raw jalapeños. Be aware - they don't remove the seeds from the jalapeños!

So YUMMY! love the unique selection of pizzas, best caesar salad, and fun atmosphere. The best restaurant in Evanston.

Best pizza. I really like it. It's well done. I will definitely order from here again.

Union Pizzeria is one of the best restaurants in Evanston -- I don't understand why this place doesn't have 4 stars or higher. The service is always great, the food is fantastic, and the setting is lively every night of the week. Henry is my favorite server and is just so kind and attentive. The best items on the menu (and I've tried lots!) are the dates, meatballs, 3 seed salad, and prosciutto and arugula pizza -- it's absolutely amazing. There's also a delicious pizza with ricotta and sausage which is really good too. Nothing not to like about Union -- it has and will continue to be a staple for me in Evanston!

The food was great and the service fast! Salads were fresh, especially the 3 seed salad. Small plate of grilled shrimp and grits was scrumptious and the veggie pizza with vegan cheese could not have been crispier or tastier. It was a bit loud but worth the noise!

Just insanely good, every time. The only negative I can say is it's a bit loud for people who don't like that. Doesn't bother us at all. We love the ambience, the service is great, the drinks are great. The food is outstanding. There's nothing negative to say.

Mussel Up Here! A friend recommended the mussels at Union. My wife and I arrived at 5 pm sharp on Saturday -- the place was packed and we were lucky to get two seats at the bar. It took a while to get our food but watching the bartenders work so hard helped the time go by. And worth the wait -- the broth the mussels were cooked in was creamy, buttery, spicy and tangy, included 3 pieces of toast to soak it up with. I took half of 'em home, ate the rest for breakfast!

I got the sausage and sweet peppers pizza to go and I think getting it to-go was my (rookie) mistake. You can't really get wood fired neopolitan pizza to go - you have to eat it there. It was ready on time and I sat at the bar because I was early and the inside of the place is nice and trendy, but I really should have dined in. Not the most flavorful pizza in the world either, though.

Returned knowing the pizzas are fabulous. They didn't disappoint. Service is excellent

We arrived at 5:15 on a Saturday night and Union Pizzeria was already hopping. We were able to get a seat at the end of the bar, which worked great. Union hit all the right notes on our first visit - great atmosphere, helpful, friendly staff, amazing food and drink. To start, I ordered a Campfire Old Fashioned. Slight sweetness followed by a bit of smoke. Aptly named drink. We shared the kale and cauliflower appetizer- can't recall it's official name. The bartender recommended it and he was spot on. Delicious! Next we shared the prosciutto arugula pizza, another winning dish. Union is a bit on the pricier side, but everything we ate was delightful. I'll come back for sure on a future trip to Evanston.
