The service at the restaurant was fantastic, the cleanliness splendid, everything spotless and in its place. Walid's service was very professional and cordial, always attentive to my needs and offering suggestions for the dishes. The pizza was delicious, cooked to perfection, with fresh ingredients and full of flavor. Highly recommended.

“This restaurant is delightful.”

This restaurant is delightful. The pizza is Chicago-style and huge. We ordered a medium-sized pizza for two (but I have a very good appetite and I love to eat well and tasty food), so this pizza is designed for three people with an average appetite. We also tried the local beer. The service was excellent. Many thanks to our waiter for that. We are extremely grateful and satisfied. Thank you very much for everything. When we return to Chicago, we will come back to eat the most delicious pizza on the planet ✌️👍

“Great place, deep dish pizza was very cheezy and bit on the acidic side.”

Great place, deep dish pizza was very cheezy and bit on the acidic side. So does the bbq sauce. Was great regardless. Staff was educated and easygoing.

“Pizzeria Ora is a hidden gem.”

Pizzeria Ora is a hidden gem! Love this place! I would put the food and pizza up against anything in the City! Love their Calamari appetizer, Mediterranean Salad, and signature Chicago style pizza! Their pizza gives other pizzas a run for their money! Walid is the Man behind the bar, holding it down, providing great service, and making Pizzeria Ora a staple for me in Chicago! Quality place and convenient that it is connected to the Best Western River North! My favorite of all in Chicago!

“Couldn't visit the Chi without getting a deep dish pizza.”

Couldn't visit the Chi without getting a deep dish pizza. We decided to stop by this Pizzeria after attending Super bowl event. So glad they stay open late and the food was actually great!

“I'm in a different hotel/major city every week for work & try pizza from all around.”

I'm in a different hotel/major city every week for work & try pizza from all around. Since i was in Chicago this time, i figured I'd try the deep dish, even though i only like thin crust & i never eat the crust off the slice bc i dont like a lot of bread. I got the Blanco deep dish, the ingredients tasted fresh, good pesto/garlic mix, the cheese tasted real, it was cooked perfectly & the doe was super tasty & flakey like a nice pie 🥧 or pastry. As a former New Yorker, i dont like deep dish in particular. the last one i had was a sloppy, soggy mess, frozen grocery store pie crust filled with a can of spaghetti-o's tasting atrocity. I'll usually get a big pizza & polish off a few slices, then leave the rest for the hotel cleaning lady to deal with before i catch my flight. I actually took the leftovers 🍕 with me to snack on the plane ✈️ even tho' i didn't really have anything but a plastic bag to wrap it up with. It tasted even better day old & cold. i even ate all the crust, too. I never do that. This pizza joint is 1st class all the way!

“Their vegetarian pizza with hint of pesto sauce is amazing.”

Their vegetarian pizza with hint of pesto sauce is amazing. Must try dish is Jalapeno Cheese Poppers. We went on St. Patrick’s day. Great vibes.

“Pizza was SO SO GOOD.”

Pizza was SO SO GOOD! Hot wings, DEElish. Loved that they had local (Goose Island) beer on tap. Don't let the Best Western location fool you. This place and its pizza are LEGIT. We were so fortunate to have spent quite a bit of time talking with the owner, originally from Syria. Walid reminded us how blessed we all are to be in the US of America. He has STORIES of hardship and has worked incredibly hard to make it here and provide for his family. What a BLESSING Walid is to our country! He is living proof the American dream is still alive. Thank you, Walid ❤️

“This place looks like it would serve subpar food.”

This place looks like it would serve subpar food. We went to hardrock Cafe and it was awful. We decided this place couldn't be much worse. Luckily for us it is fantastic. The food is fantastic, the drinks are fantastic. It's got a pretty simple atmosphere but the service and food makes up for it 100% We had an appetizer which was hot and out quickly. The salad was simple but fresh and the honey mustard was amazing. The steak sandwich was large and cooked well. The El Blanco deep dish was sooooo good. It's worth a stop 100% Just be wary of the busy times. We went from a nice quiet dinner to 25 people walking in from some type of business meeting all shouting and crowding the bar. Not the restraunts fault, but if you want quiet watch those peak hours.

“Pizzeria Ora has some of the best thin crust pizza in the city.”

Pizzeria Ora has some of the best thin crust pizza in the city. This place is a hidden gem and deserves so much more love. Staff is super attentive and Walid makes sure everyone is always taken care off. This place has become a regular spot for me & i cant recommend it enough
