Pizano's Pizza & Pasta — neighborhood italian in Loop. Order the Pizza. The kind of spot that earns loyalty, not hype. Elyse W: "The Risotto with fresh mushrooms was perfectly moist and creamy"

“Food and service were great.”
Food and service were great! My husband and I flew in late, so this restaurant was the perfect spot to get dinner! We ordered the cheesy bread and their deep dish pizza (not pictured, because it was blurry). Remy was our waiter and was friendly & attentive. He recommend spots for us to visit in Chicago which was helpful since we have never been to the city before.

Pizano’s is one of those Chicago places that rocks the Old-school Chicago memorabilia everywhere, and it just Feels alive. Staff was friendly, just not always around when you need them. I’ve had the pizza here, so I knew what I was getting. It’s fine. Nothing bad, nothing mind-blowing, It's a 5/10 for me. So this time I switched it up and ordered the wings. And yeah. That was the move. The wings were honestly perfect. Crispy and crunchy on the outside, juicy inside. Hot, but not “why did I do this” hot. Sauce tasted between Louisiana and buffalo-ish, but more towards Louisiana to me. Tangy and savory, just right. I kept going back for one more, until I was done. I’d come back just for those wings, no question. Pizza’s alright. But the wings stole the night.

“You can't lose with any of the menu selections here.”
You can't lose with any of the menu selections here. Sandwiches, pizza, the pasta- everything is delicious. One thing I love is the sausage and peppers. It's not on the menu but if you ask nice they might make it for you There are always sports going on the many TV's and the atmosphere is usually quite lively. All the bartenders are great but you especially want to go on nights Yolanda (Yo) is working. They make great cocktails and Wednesday is Wine Wednesday with half off bottles. You can never go wrong with the Chianti. The place is only about two blocks from the Bean down Madison St. Stop here for one and then go see the Bean or vice versa. Either way it's a great afternoon especially in spring and summer. The only complaint I have about the place is on a quiet night the soundtrack in the bar makes you feel like you're an extra in the movie Goodfellas...

“The pizza was amazing.”
The pizza was amazing. We had the deep dish with sausage. Charlie was at the bar and she was also absolutely lovely. She even got us a dessert to celebrate our engagement. When we return to Chicago, this will be on the list.

“A flavor of it's own.”
A flavor of it's own. The first true Chicago deep dish pizza I have had. The crust was sturdy and yeasty with the toppings flavorful and fresh while not being too acidic. The toasted ravioli as well as cheesy garlic bread were just right as well!

My family and I were in town for my daughter’s Navy graduation and we were searching for somewhere to celebrate as a family. We ended up here but little did we know what a great experience we would have. We were blessed to have been served by The Cache “Uncle Chach!” From the compliments, to the laughs the whole dinner was beyond what one could ever pay for. I went in with an appetite and left with my heart full and with a new family member. We will forever cherish this moment thanks to Uncle Chach! We will return just to see and have the honor to be serviced by Uncle Chach!!!! Thank you and can’t wait to return!

For a final meal before going back to FL this was by far the best pizza, atmosphere and service! A true show of the hospitality of IL. Selah was our server she was so incredibly helpful attentive and gave us a post card to take home! Thank you so much everyone there that made this trip end in such a memorable way!

While some on this review thread appear to be self described Chicago deep dish pizza expert, I’m just a simply guy from Upstate NY. The hotel referred us to two pedigree joints up across the river. Pizano was nearby and I was in no mood to pursue the perfect deep dish pizza. Upon entering the place had a good vibe, the hostess brought us to a quiet romantic corner and our server was as friendly as friendly can be. TT was wonderful. We ordered a bottle of Chianti and medium deep dish. The pizza was warm, nice balance of tomato , cheese and pepperoni. Tasty not too acidic and fully of flavour. We had a wonderful and relaxing relaxing experience.

We stopped here our first night in Chicago and couldn't be happier we chose this! Our server Shannon was so wonderful! She was kind and attentive and had such a fun personality she genuinely kept dinner fun and interesting. The food was amazing and well timed our salads came out just in time with our pizza! I cannot say enough what a great experience this was! Beautiful restaurant with such a great staff! A true gem of Chicago 👏🏻
