The Goal Line Pizzeria and Sports Bar

Food was obviously high-quality. The giant tenders are giant (see attached photo) AND they're hand-battered and fried there. The wraps were good, and the fries/rings were solid. They have issues on busy days so be aware you'll wait extra long on game days, and weekends. Staff was good, and pricing is fine.

Excellent place to go get a true Chicago deep dish. The wait is a bit longer for the deep dish, but it's worth it. The flavors were perfect, the temperature right, and the service fantastic. Highly recommend!

Very nice almost hole in the wall type vibe. Our server was very kind and kept on top of the drinks like a pro. Fun music and decor. The manager or owner was constantly making sure we were taken care and she was very friendly. The deep dish pizza can easily feed many people, it was much larger than we expected but it was delicious and fresh. My Mac and cheese had wonderful flavor and was also a good sized portion that two people could share.

$1 wing Wednesday is something you just don’t hear about in 2026. And they’re actually GOOD WINGS!!!! I love this place and everything about it. One of the best additions to Franklin Ave yet. Owners are extremely involved in local schools and sports, the reason we first came here was because my daughter’s soccer season ended and all kids on the team were given a free pizza coupon. Not only is that amazing marketing and great neighborhood culture; but it creates a nostalgic association/memory for kids forever. Crystal is the besttttt, so attentive and always makes my family feel like we’re at home. In 2026 where going out to eat is damn near a luxury, Goal Line is definitely the place to go.

I’ve passed by this place countless times and always wanted to try it. Today was finally the day… and wow, what a disappointment. The restaurant was fairly empty (maybe 15–20 people total), so we expected things to run smoothly. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. We started with cheese curds, which took about 10–15 minutes to arrive and were already cold. The flavor itself was decent, but the cheese had hardened from sitting too long, which completely ruined them. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with a side salad, my husband got a smash burger and chicken wings, and the kids ordered chicken tenders with fries and a pizza. Nearly all of the food came out cold, the only exception was the chicken tenders, but even then, the fries were cold. I reluctantly sent my sandwich back (someth
