Professor Pizza Slice & Pie - West Town

“Tried Professor pizza a couple of years ago when they were serving out of a kitchen but never left a review.”

Tried Professor pizza a couple of years ago when they were serving out of a kitchen but never left a review. From what I vividly recall we loved the pizza and tried more than one kind. The service was out of this world and they made our experience memorable. So much so it became my favorite muse. Happy to see the growth!

“We visited from Wisconsin thinking we could eat here but it was only for pick up.”

We visited from Wisconsin thinking we could eat here but it was only for pick up. I was very excited to try this place out and Alexander , guy with the glasses and Long black hair (Hope I said your name correctly) was awesome to let us place an order. We loved the pizza we ordered! And our friends back in Wisconsin are planning to make a stop. Thank you so much for the friendly service!!

“Absolutely amazing.”

Absolutely amazing. Never tasted a pizza like this and it’s completely different than any other pizza I have had my whole life. Every bite is a journey. In a city that has many options for pizza that are all good, try this that is not only delicious but absolutely unique in its taste.

“Our pizza was amazing!”

Our pizza was amazing!! We are from Wisconsin and do not have any pizza like this around our area. We ordered online and got it delivered through Door Dash and it took about an hour around dinner time on a weeknight. It arrived on time and everything was accurate and looked great. It didn’t include plates or napkins. We got the deluxe pepperoni on 18inch NY crust….so good!! It had plenty of pepperoni, mikes hot honey, tons of yummy seasoning, and amazing dollops of whipped ricotta. Definitely recommend! The NY crust was thin and then airy and crispy on the edges we liked it. The pizza was huge we ate on it a couple times but it was $33 which I thought was average Chicago pricing. If we are in the area again we would definitely go.

“Delicious NY style pizza.”

Delicious NY style pizza. The sauce is undeniably delicious. The dough and crust are pretty much perfect and the right amount of cheese. Thank you, Professor!

“This place is just phenomenal pizza 🍕 hands 🙌🏼 down!!”

This place is just phenomenal pizza 🍕 hands 🙌🏼 down!!! Beautiful ambience on the rooftop, really cool stage space for a DJ on the weekends. The art and the bar are gorgeous. My friends wanted to try the thinnest pizza, and in all honesty I would not have had they have not . Blown away Chicago tavern, style pizza anywhere. We got pepperoni. After that we wanted to try grandmas style/Detroit, we also got it in pepperoni, we didn’t think it was possible, but we liked it even more than the first. The ricotta cheese dollop 🤌🏼, I’m telling ya cuz gotta try this pizza! Cannot wait to go back to try others than pepperoni as well as the medium crust. Drinks were fun staff was friendly, and a manager was walking around, making sure everything was to our liking. Must try

“We had an amazing experience at Professor Pizza on the Tetto rooftop in West Loop.”

We had an amazing experience at Professor Pizza on the Tetto rooftop in West Loop. We went on a Thursday evening and it was full of people having a great time. The music was excellent, the decor is trendy, and the views of the city are outstanding. Great place to bring friends from out of town or to have a date. And don’t even get me started on the food! I’ve been following Professor Pizza for a while now and this was my first time trying his pizza. It definitely lived up to the hype! 🔥🔥 You can get any of the pizza types on one of three crusts: cracker-thin, grandma style, and NY style. We got the Supreme pizza NY style and the Deluxe Pepperoni grandma style, and both were outstanding. The NY style pizza is huge - the slices are a little floppy, but the crust is perfectly crispy. The grandma style pie was a major hit. A delicious, crispy, thicker crust that’s still somehow light and airy. They both had a wonderfully sweet tomato sauce, and they were loaded with tons of wonderful toppings - the freshness of all the ingredients was evident. This spot is a great addition to West Loop and one of my new favorite spots in the city!

“Ordered on a Friday at 6 pm.”

Ordered on a Friday at 6 pm. There was a 2 hour wait but it was so worth it. We got the deluxe pepperoni grandma style and the mushroom + leek pizza New York style. Both were AMAZING!!! Definitely my new west loop pizza spot, can’t wait to try other pies soon!

“Possibly the best all around pizza place in the city.”

Possibly the best all around pizza place in the city. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for the Professor. Our last time we ordered a New York style with sausage, a tavern cheese and a grandma cheese. We went simple because we had some boring people coming over for dinner. All three types are great. The grandma is something special. The New York might be the best in the city and the tavern is not too shabby though probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite. Both the sausage and pepperoni are top notch.

“The man is a professor.”

The man is a professor. Every bite I’ve had of each of his pies is so thoughtfully composed, with textures and flavors coming together in ways I’ve not seen in the Chicago pizza scene. The best pizza in the city and it’s not close.
