Good Roman style pizza. Unique and unusual toppings that you won't get anywhere else. Also you can mix and match what you want and how much. It's charged by the pound, which can be a bit weird. The crust is not as nice as good Neapolitan. Also the pizza is par cooked and finished in the oven when you order. But if you are in the area and want to try something new, this is worth it. I wouldn't travel to get this though.
Consider this a pizza deli. The pizzas are long rectangles that they'll cut to your desired length and charge by the pound. Then they heat it up and cut it into small squares for you. I was wary at first that it would be expensive, but the crust is light and chewy, so my order usually comes out to about $10 (to be fair I am really short.) It's definitely worth coming here with others so you can order different things and trade a square or two. Note that the online store for delivery has way less options than the physical store. It will take them 5-10 minutes to serve you.

I love Bonci. Pizza is great there are so many options and you are able to try so many flavors. I also really like that you can get sparkling water from the tap there. Super authentic to Rome.
Bonci is great! if you're looking for something new and on the go this place is fantastic. They use fresh ingredients, have a great selection, and you get to pick what you want and how much of it which is nice. Only downside is I wish they didn't have to re-heat your pizza but it's still very fresh and tastes amazing. The crust is perfect - very airy and not heavy so it really maximizes the flavor of the cheese and toppings.
Great location in a busy area, the location on Sangamon is awesome too! They also serve wine and beer, although I really wish this place was a BYOB.
Great place. Pick your pizza and size of your piece. You pay by the pound. They warm it on the spot. Every kind is delicious. I recommend you try 2 to 3 types per person.
