“Best tavern style pizza we had. It’s a ghost kitchen in the basement. Order online 30 minutes before pickup. Must try!!!”
“I think DD’s is a winner. The owner Dom is a good man. Chatted with him a bit and encouraged him to keep doing his thing. Pizza is super tasty and every bite was perfectly crispy. I literally ate 2/3 of it on the drive home back to La Grange. Ha! Definitely getting it again.”
“Discovered them from their partnership with Ingrained Desserts and I am so impressed with them! From their dough fermentation process to no seed oils, they do it right. And to make it even better, it’s some of the best tavern style pizza I’ve had.”
“Chicago-style tavern crust pizza is incredibly delicious. This restaurant doesn’t have any seating and only accepts takeout and delivery orders. When you arrive on the sidewalk, simply text the restaurant, and they’ll bring your pizza to you.”
“Delicious!!!! It was ready right on time, hot and perfect. I recommend Italian sausage and onions.”
“The star of the show was that crust. Crispy on the outside with just the right bite, it holds up great and adds a ton of flavor instead of being an afterthought. You can tell they really dialed it in. You can really taste the high quality ingredients DD’s uses. there’s real care and passion behind the pizza. It’s really good pizza made by people who clearly love what they’re doing.”
“Absolutely one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! Super nice people as well 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“Holy smokes, this place is UNREAL! This is hands-down some of the best pizza I have ever had in Chicago, or anywhere for that matter. The crust absolutely perfect, razor thin and crispy just like it should be. Cheese, sauce and toppings are all perfect perfectly balanced to round out the incredible flavor. It may be from the new school, but tastes like it's been on the scene for decades. I highly highly recommend DD's! I already can't wait to go back.”
“I ordered delivery tonight and just had to write a review. For one, the customer service on social media is incredible — they answered all my countless questions and even gave me a first time discount. I went with the S.O.B. and Veggie with pepperoni added. I love the ethos behind this spot (no seed oils and high-quality ingredients). I’ll definitely order here again (it beats out Zarella by far, which is another popular tavern style pizza spot in the River North neighborhood). My one request… please add a homemade ranch to the menu. :)”
“Just tried DD’s Pizza and WOW, easily one of the best tavern-style pizzas I’ve had in Chicago. The crust is super thin and perfectly crispy, the sauce-to-cheese ratio is spot on, and every bite hits just right. We got the Roni Riot with hot honey and a classic sausage, and both were incredible. It was ready super fast and they even brought it out to our car with ordering pickup. Bonus points that they don’t use seed oils. Definitely adding this to our regular rotation!”
