“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If u r in Downtown Chicago and only have time for one deep-dish pizza experience, make it at Pizano's! 🍕🇺🇸 From the first bite, you can tell why Chicago is famous for pizza. The deep dish was loaded with gooey cheese, rich tomato sauce, and a perfectly buttery, crispy crust that somehow stayed light at the same time. Every bite was worth the wait. The atmosphere has that classic old-school Chicago charm—busy, lively and full of character. It's the kind of place where locals and visitors happily share tables, stories and incredible food. A fantastic stop for anyone wanting to experience a true taste of Chicago. I will definitely be back on my next visit! 🍕❤️🇺🇸 #Pizanos #ChicagoEats #DeepDishPizza #DowntownChicago #PizzaLover #ChicagoFood #WorthTheWait #TravelEats #FoodieAdventures”
“Great bar service by Natalie on the Fourth of July. Thank you for such an incredible experience. True tender of the bar.”
“Quaint place with great food. Had to try and deep dish while in Chicago and they didn't disappoint!”
“Delicious pizza and friendly service. However, be prepared to wait about 30-45 minutes for your pizza, as it takes some time to make. Despite the wait, everything else was delicious.”
“Best thin crust pizza in Chicago. Service is always friendly and the vibe is never off.”
“Watching the Bears Playoff game. Attentive staff, great food.”
“This has quickly become my favorite pizza spot in Chicago. Both the deep dish and thin crust are so good, you can’t go wrong with either. We also got the cheesy garlic bread and fried ravioli, and they were amazing. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. And the jukebox is such a fun touch, it really adds to the atmosphere.”
“This place is impressive! The hospitality is top notch! Every member of the staff is excellent! Pizza was incredible!!!! We highly recommend eating here for the experience and the food!!!!!!!!”
“Tried deep dish pizza and chicken wings. Loved both of them. A pizza you eat with a fork and a knife.”
“We stayed at a hotel around the corner and walked here.We really enjoyed the deep dish pizza & tortellini soup.Highly recommend for a bite before/after a Sky game.”
“Had the carb less pizza- crust made with sausage. Ordered it online and picked it up and left. Pizza was good. Sausage crust with sauce and cheese.”
“Great place to try some delicious thin crust pizza in Chicago. We stopped after the Depaul basketball game for a bite to eat. They were very busy but accommodating. Our food was served within a half an hour and was hot and ready. The pizza is fantastic. The ingredients are great. Everything was cooked hot and fresh. The restaurant is very clean and it is walkable from the Wintrust Arena. The bonus was that we got to see DePaul win and then have great pizza.”
