“I got the word about Zazas pizzeria from barstool sports. I checked it out for myself and it was FIRE!!! I’m usually a guy that needs toppings but I went with the cheese slice. Crust was nice a crispy but felt light. I promise I will return!”
“My partner and I stopped in for lunch before a Cubs game recently & the joint was lively! There isn’t a ton of seating, but we snagged a high top as someone was leaving. We ordered a slice of cheese & a slice of their white pizza. The slices were perfectly sized & dangerously delicious (we both thought we wanted another slice, but knew we’d eat at the game.) Zaza’s has some of the best pizza we’ve ever had.”
“This pizza is GOOD. I’m from NJ and I’ve noticed the pizza in Chicago is very doughy or too thin. This has the snap and bite that I’ve been missing in Tri-state pizza. Cheese slice is about 5, specialities are a bit more.”
“Zaza’s became my absolute favorite pizza place after my first bite. The crust: tender yet crispy on the bottom and the edges are puffy and packed with rich yeasty, garlicky flavor from the magic garlic olive oil they brush on. I usually get just cheese and I love the sauce - it’s got a little kick of sweet, a subtle hint of spice - I kind of crave it.”
“The best pizza in Chicago! My favorite pizza of all time. The cheese pizza is amazing.”
“Amazing find!!! 2nd time in Chicago and this pizza brought me back home to NYC! While singing happy birthday over the phone, Stevie Wonder's birthday song "coincidentally" started playing in the restaurant... 🎂 🥳 🍕 Will be back!!!!”
“Quintessential New York slice shop with fantastic pizza! The kitchen staff is not only talented but super friendly and so are Shelby and Sophia. Well done, I’ll be back!”
“We tried five different pizzas, they were absolutely delicious. The flavor was out of this world amazing. We especially loved the focaccia as an appetizer as well. The service was super friendly and wonderful! Highly recommend you take a trip over to Zaza‘s pizza in Lincoln Park!”
