“I had an amazing experience at this dining outlet. This is one of the outlets in the city which offers deep dish pizza by the slice. They have many options IN SLICES for both the Deep dish pizza and the New York style thin crust pizza. When I went, there was a group of three with my parents, I ordered both the Deep dish Pizza slices (cheese and cheese-mushroom-onion) and all three of us were blown by such amazing taste. Plus, the crust was not hard at all and it was just a delicious pizza. Then we ordered the veggie New York style pizza (12’ - enough for three people) and Diet Coke, which was equally delicious as well. The ladies at the counter were very helpful and quick and attentive with their services. Overall, we had an amazing time there. Must must visit if everyone is looking for pizza by the slice and much more.”

“Delicious pizza sold by the slice, I appreciate how many options they have for the slices”

“Welcoming staff, affordable slices, & overall kindhearted atmosphere. Visited Chicago from Cincinnati and will most certainly be returning here whenever I am back!!!”

“They are sooooo nice. Family friendly! Super duper yummy. Garlic!!!”

“Such satisfying slice of Chicago pan pizza. So appreciative of the option to buy by the slice. Reasonable pricing, not up charging like some chains reportedly do (per advice from locals). Thin crust, pan, and deep-dish varieties on offer in various flavors. Tried the pan pizza as a more moderate form than deep-dish. The crust was golden warm and crunchy, the bready dough perfect for a carb-lover, soaked with the dairy goodness from the pull-perfect mozzarella cheese and sprinkling of sausage, green onion, onion, and mushroom.”

“Love the freshness of this pizza!! And they sell it by slice!! Please protect this place at all cost”

“My first Chicago deep dish experience and I couldn’t have been happier. The pizza was unlike anything I’ve ever had, in a good way. Definitely one of the better pizzas I’ve had in my life. The staff was also quite pleasant! The toppings were good, but honestly the plain slice has so much flavor and texture going on that you don’t really need any toppings in my opinion.”

“First ever deep dish pizza for me. Loved it. Will come back when Iam awake again.”

“Edit: I keep thinking about the pizza here. I had it for the first time on Thursday, and it's still on my mind on Saturday! I've eaten a lot of pizza in my life, and the pizza here is one of the best I've eaten. Fresh, hot, awesome sauce, great balance of ingredients. Just amazing pizza! ---------------------------- DAMN FINE PIZZA! One of Chicagoland's best! I don't need to say more.”

“Sitio para comer auténtica pizza en Chicago. El lugar es pequeño. Tienes opción de pizza en slides y para llevar. Las porciones son grandes y están muy buenas. Recomendable 100x100.”

“The Art of Pizza is just two minutes from Michigan Avenue walking. When I come to Chicago this will be my new favorite place. The menu prices are the best in the city and the food is amazing. I came on Saturday 1-03-26 around 10:30 PM.”

“They have deep dish pizza by the slice. Absolutely delicious. I got the arts special deep dish, and also a second slice of arts special but thin crust. Both were great, and the best thing about it being by the slice is that you dont have to wait for it to be done. Some friends got the spinach one and that one was good too (if you don’t eat meat). They also had quite a good variety of vegetarian food. The service was nice! Very kind”
