1st off, my husband and I are huge Belgian beer fanatics so that speaks for itself. Secondly, the Detroit style pizza is spiritually transforming and I don't mean that lightly even tho Detroit style tops any other pizza style even tho I was raised in Chicago. I wish they served the Detroit style at the OG Middlebrow but also selfishly love the hidden gem that this is 😊😍 it might be the delicious beer talking but I don't think so

This place was already the best beer shop in the city with an excellent tap selection and special events with top breweries, but now with the addition of the pizza, it's even better. Probably the best Detroit style pizza in the city and the Caesar salad is legit. I love this place and if I lived closer to here I would have a problem because I would be here everyday.

They have a great beer selection and it’s fun to be able to browse and buy unique finds from their store side. Middlebrow is always delicious, so it’s extra fun that they have Detroit style pizza from a local favorite.

This is such a comfort place! Huge selection of beers on tap, and they also have a beer (and more) shop that is separate. The collaboration with Middlebrow by adding their pizza was absolutely genius- it is SO good! We love to have pizza, beer, and play one of the games they keep on the shelf!

The Beer Temple has an amazing beer selection but the real draw is their Detroit Style Pizza! You will be hard pressed to find better pizza any where else! Try it, you won't regret it!

A staple bar and beer store of Chicago. These ppl are open arms welcoming and educational if you're interested in something / ask. Can't say enough good things about this place. The food is also fantastic. I (and many others) think it's the best Detroit Style Pizza in Chicago
