The Bosnian ćevapi at Pizza Art Café are incredibly flavorful and authentic — perfectly grilled and served just like back home. Great food, warm atmosphere, and friendly service!

Went last night with a friend, we could not stop eating. I liked the owner’s take on bruschetta, ćevapčići were among the best ones I have had in this city, and the pizza Bosniaca was a nice discovery as well. Everything was fresh and very flavorful, service quick and unobtrusive, the ambient nice and cozy. Will be back soon!

Best date spot ever. The Greek pizza is my absolute favorite. Plus BYOB! Worth the trip to Lincoln Square if you don’t already live there.

This is the 4 cheese pizza we received last night. Oddly the dough was also raw in parts. This was delivered. Half burnt, and a mess. Threw half of it into the garbage. What an insult to deliver this sloppy inedible crap.

We hosted a large group dinner here for 20 guests. They were extremely accommodating and we had a great time. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced with large portions. BYOB with no corkage fee is a plus. Highly recommend this spot!

We decided to stop in for dinner after passing this place so many times. Needless to say I wish we had stopped in sooner because everything was delicious and the atmosphere was spectacular. We had the Bruschetta, Lasagna ART, Carbonara, and the Panzerotto pizza. The Lasagna Art was my favorite. I recommend each dish and we will definitely be back to try more. We topped it off with the Nutella and strawberry crepes for dessert. It had the perfect balance of sweetness. The front window was open that night and the breeze coupled with the mellow music was so peaceful and calming. We brought our own bottle of wine as well.

Excellent food. One of the best Pizza places in Chicagoland. Bosnian traditional Ćevapčići or Ćevapi are delicious specialty. The personnel is friendly, hospitable and very kind. The owner Goran is very nice guy and true and tried expert for making Pizza in fired oven. Atmosphere in the restoran is nice, relaxed and warm. Exceptionally pleasant place and overall experience. Keep up great work Pizza Art Cafe guys and girls. 👏♥️👍💯🎊

I've been going to this place since they opened 20 years ago. The quality of the pasta is always impeccable. Of course the pizza is great too. Top-notch place with simple, no-frills, elegant service.
