La Crosta Woodfire Pizzeria Italiana — trusted italian in Lincoln Park. Order the Pizza. A holdout in the best possible way. "The pizza was perfectly cooked, and had the perfect proportions of cheese, sauce, and toppings" — Gracie Day

“More food spots follow @midwestmunching on Instagram Got the: 🔥 Piccante - Spicy coppa, calabrese soppressata, Calabrian peppers, red pepper flakes and chili oil 🍕Fig & Proscuitto with Goat Cheese - love the drops of fig jam where every bite is different”
Pizza’s are good but $65 for two pizzas they have on their menu for $24 and $26 sounds a bit rich.
My first impression upon sitting down was that it was a bit hard to read the menu due to the lighting and the glasses looked like they had some sort of film on them.
Nice staff. Cozy dining area. Limited menu. Dishes were typical average Italian/ pizza dishes.

“Just visited today with my cousin.”
Just visited today with my cousin. I tried their pizza when i ordered UberEats so wanted to visit myself this place. The host was very friendly, he let us sit inside since i had scooter with me and that was the best spot since we were able to enjoy the rain for a bit. The server was amazing, poor guy was bringing us hot water every 10 minutes since the tea cups were so tiny and we are from Ukraine not used to the size like this 😀. We got 2 pizzas, they were incredibly delicious. Although desserts we didn’t like much. My cousin took tiramisu and on the top instead of real tiramisu cream it is whipped cream, and I got Nutella pie and for some reason I thought it would be like a pie or crepes, but it was like pizza just Nutella on it. Well, we were there to try our pizza not desserts:) So overall I would highly recommend to try pizza here and the best seat you can get is by the window or outside. It was unforgettable evening. Thank you

“I was very impressed with this restaurant.”
I was very impressed with this restaurant! The food came out very quick and I was able to modify the pizzas to make them vegetarian. The spicy one is VERY good!! The calzone is gigantic and tastes really good! Highly recommend this for pizza

“Wonderful dining experience.”
Wonderful dining experience. I went with my Dad and sat in the outdoor dining area. All the pizza options looked delicious, but we ended up ordering the four cheese with a Caesar salad and some sparkling water. The wood-fired pizza was absolutely delicious, and everything combined was only around $50 dollars. Good food + good environment + not too expensive.

“This restaurant is great, all I ordered was the beef carpaccio and it was great.”
This restaurant is great, all I ordered was the beef carpaccio and it was great. I appreciated the friendly staff and great service. The atmosphere is on point and it fits the theme of the place. The only thing is that I would have ordered a pizza but they only offer 14”-15” pizzas.

“First off I am a huge pizza fan and eat pizza like it won’t be here tomorrow.”
First off I am a huge pizza fan and eat pizza like it won’t be here tomorrow. I have been a Chicago real estate broker for over 16 years and I’ve lived in the city for over21 years and I’ve eaten at lot of pizza restaurants. La Crosta is one of the best wood fired pizzas I’ve had in the city. It’s located in Lincoln Park and only a walk 30 minute walk from Old Town just to get there. The service is also amazing and Dino who runs the place is always making sure everyone is having a good time. As a sidenote, they do half-price wine bottles on Wednesdays. I was just there last night. Go enjoy it!

“Very good fresh flavors.”
Very good fresh flavors. If I could afford it and have a stomach big enough, I would have ordered one of each Will definitely make a point to stop by when in the Lincoln Park area and am craving pizza
