The flyer displays the name Cipriani's Pizza in large green and red text, with a tagline encouraging customers to discover the taste. It includes images of a deep dish pizza and a stuffed pizza, with ingredients such as tomatoes, garlic, and basil at the top. The flyer provides the restaurant's phone number, 773-582-3747, and its address at 5840 W. 63rd Street, Chicago, IL 60638. There is also a sketch of a man wearing a chef's hat at the top right corner, and a decorative border of red and white squares at the top and bottom.

First time in Chicago and me and a couple other guys are on a work trip. Found this place close to the hotel. We got the stuffed cheese and the stuffed Cipriani's special. They were absolutely fantastic. This is an older establishment and it's more of a take out spot than a dine in. They have a handful of tables though. Customer service was great. For my first Chicago pizza experience I'm very satisfied!

Solid pizza joint that does a ton of to go business. We had a long layover, so we hopped in an Uber and came over here based on reviews. It was less than a ten min drive from the airport. We got an antipasta salad that had a good amount of meats and cheese with cucumbers, tomatoes, and carrots. The pizza came out cooked all the way thru with a crispy crust. The sauce on top was very fresh. The only thing I wish was that the pepponi had a bit more flavor. If you like a pizza in its simplest form, with fresh ingredients, this is the place to come. The place is small inside with about 5 tables, but most of their business appeared to be to go orders. They also have pizza by the slice. The staff was very friendly and let us hang out and occupy a table for a couple of hours. I definitely would come back here if in Chicago. Prices are much cheaper than the airport, so if you have the time, call in an order and head over. Don't let the small unassuming place from the outside fool you. I also got a cannoli, which I have never had before (so I have no comparison), it was ok - very, very sweet.

Pizza- half garlic pepperoni and half garlic sausage.

The pizza wasn't bad but there are definitely better pizzas in Chicago and in the local neighborhood. The dipping sauce for the cheese sticks had a nice spice to them. The location is near midway and has a small dining area with a handful of seats. It also appeared they offered delivery. Not a bad option if you live nearby and want something walking distance but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.

Menu - The menu from Cipriani's Pizza in Chicago is shown, featuring sections for salads, sandwiches, and side orders. It lists items such as chicken wings, chicken sandwiches, and various salads, with prices ranging from $3.00 to $8.75. The menu uses a red and white border design and includes detailed descriptions of each dish, emphasizing takeout and delivery options. The menu is printed on paper and appears to be part of a larger menu set.

Had a connecting flight from Midway International Airport and our flight got delayed for a few hours. What better way to make the best of the situation and seek out what Chicago is most known for -- Deep Dish Pizzzzza! I found Cipriani's Pizza on a quick Yelp search and the group and I decided it would be a good choice since it's located about a couple miles away from the airport. This joint is a small family owned business which I appreciate but the staff who were running the front of the house were simply rude and uninviting. I will note that they were not rude to patrons coming in and out to pick up pizza, and that could be because they were locals or regulars. I guess we gave off that 'out-of-town-er' energy because we were met with very mediocre hospitality. We ordered two Deep Dish Pizzas (one cheese and one of their specials), one thin crust sausage pizza, two large salads, and six sodas for $80.00 -- which is not too bad of a tab. The pizzas took about 45 minutes to make which could be an issue if you're walking in hangry after a full day of traveling. The pizza sauce was definitely a hit but the crust on both the thin crust and deep dish just didn't do it for me. I don't know if this was the "Chicago Deep Dish Pizza Experience" but I will share I was not too impressed. Note to owners: ask the ladies in the front to be a bit more warm and helpful. Maybe it would create a better first impression for first time visitors.

Authentic and quality Chicago style deep dish pizzeria! Founded decades ago by a married couple, Cipriani's is a Southeast Chicago institution! Named after an owner's Grandmother, Cipriani's reflects the craft learned from Giordano's, where the owner couple had worked. But it is better than Giordano's because the ingrediants are fresher and the owners remain very hands on in the business (both were there when I was). The house salad is very classic--iceburg lettuce, radishes, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, pepperoncini, sliced turkey, sliced cheese, and house-made dressing. The pizza is savory, deep, decadent rich, and thick--almost lasagna like! The crust is crispy and flakey. Really delicious. If you're in the area, try this authentic pizza while you still can!

The image shows two pizzas in open pizza boxes on a granite countertop, one topped with pepperoni and cheese, the other with tomato sauce and herbs. In front of the pizzas, there are two trays of French fries in foil containers. The setting appears to be a casual dining or takeout environment, with the food arranged for sharing or delivery.

Customer Service was spot on from answering the phone courteously, taking the order accurately and meeting the delivery time punctually. Couldn't ask for more.

Went in and there was nobody in there but we were told half an hour. Several people came in after we sat down and paid. A couple even came in and paid and ate before we were even told 5 more minutes which turned into 20 minutes. I had to STARE at somebody to even get acknowledgment. We waited over an hour and when handed our 2 pizzas, the girl said "here you go" and walked away. No apology or anything. First time in Chicago and we definitely will find a different place next time. read more

Trash pizza along with trash customer service!! They tell my wife pick up your pizza and mozzarella sticks in 30 mins. So we wait watching time since we live less than 1/4 mile away! When my wife went in she picked up the food and was somewhat taken back by the pizza box being room temp. Now we are from Hawaii and the boxes here are a lot thicker than what were used to. So she thinks it must be hot on the inside. Nope! Like I said we live less than 1/4 mile away and by the time we got home and opened for eating the cheese sticks were a solid mass of cheese like string cheese. Only had a sorry attempt of a small kine piece of foil "covering" them to keep them warm. Failed!! The pizza was giant piece of cheese stuck to each other. When you'd pull one box the cheese from the rest would come with since it had already hardened enough from be cold. Now the best part. My wife calls them to let them know our experience we just had since we were just there not more then 7 mins ago and the first lady to answer the phone didn't know what to say so she handed it off to the owner and he begins to tell my wife that we were late picking up when they told us 30 mins. We were even there sooner then the full 30. My wife then tells him you told us to wait 30 mins and he then had nothing to say but " what you want me to do about it?!" How about fix your mistake for one!? Offer another one if we bring back this one. I dunno something besides some rude condescending comment! We also learned they leave the pizzas out and set them on top of the over so they're not being kept hot once done! He began to tell her that there's no way its not hot and that it should be too hot to eat still and keeping on the over makes it hotter!!! Wow!!! Just wow!! So if you're into rude owners that dont care if you're happy with their service or products then by all means order away. However, if you do then I would Def avoid this place and go elsewhere!!! Even if its for tacos instead! All this aside after reheating the pizza in the oven we still werent impressed by them and probably still wouldn't order from them again! But dont take my word or experience for it, go see for yourself. But you can't say I didn't warn you not go!!! Aloha. read more

As a fellow restaurant owner, I recognize that customer service can make or break a local business. So when I experience service that sets a place apart from the norm, I want to highlight that experience. Visiting Chicago for a few days, I stopped at Cipriani's Pizza to try authentic Chicago-style deep dish pizza. As I had never ordered this style of pizza, I relied on the lady at the counter to guide me. She was helpful and friendly. Gave me an estimate on time to expect my order and thanked me. When I returned for pick-up, the pizza wasn't quite ready so I sat and waited. When my order was complete, they called my name, handed over my order, and EVERYONE behind the counter--the lady who helped me before, the cook, the owner, a other lady--EVERYONE smiled and thanked me. Not fake, not obligatory, but completely genuine. THIS is the single most important thing, in my opinion as a business owner, is to make the customer know that they're appreciated. Thank you Cipriani's for my first taste of Chicago deep dish and for being kind and appreciative. read more

Why we never tried Cipriani before we will never know. My wife has had her hair cut next door for 10 years. We were fans of a large local chain that is now expanding National. Since their buyout the recipe has changed. Back to Cipriani's. Today we had the stuff pizza, the Spector be precise. The green peppers, onions, mushrooms were all juicy. Excellent sausage. We live 3 miles from their place. It's 27 degrees out when they delivered. Still burn in your mouth hot. Very flavorful. A couple of weeks ago we had the thin crust. Best in the Midway Airport/ Garfield Ridge area. Great pizza. Remember the chain I talked about earlier? Same sized pizza, chain is deep dish Cipriani's is stuffed. Cipriani's is about 40% less. And in my 60 plus years pizza eating experience, Cipriani's is better! read more

As far as quick delicious Chicago-style deep dish pizza by Midway Airport goes, this place beats all else. This isn't the best in Chicago, but it's still super solid. Whenever I fly out of Midway I'm sure to stop by this place and grab a hot slice. Hell, sometimes I even lug a box on the plane with me LOL. The pizza never disappoints, always hot fresh and tasty. They take their time and really make a great product. There's no shortage of available toppings, all super fresh. Only downsides here are the long wait-times. I called in, and 30 minutes later I showed up and my pizza still wasn't ready. read more

We ordered a Large Stuffed Sausage and a tomato bread and they were great. My wife and both said we'd definitely order again. We love buying locally in Garfield Ridge. Next time will have to try the thin crust. Great stuffed Cipriani's! Today we tried the thin crust. And read as others stated that the thin crust wasn't thin enough. We asked for extra thin and to Chicago pizza people it really wasn't that thin. The crust is different both my wife and I said 1 out of 10 we'd being giving it a 6. And we both agree it's sorta bland. The sauce needs more spice factor oregano , basil. Overall we will stick with the stuffed but we agree even that sauce is bland on the stuffed. For a couple that worked at Giordano's and opened up right down the street I give you kudos. Can't put my finger on what's missing on the crust. The bottom of it has a strange cracker taste. read more

Delicious! We were stopping through on a long road trip and wanted some Chicago pizza. After reading some reviews we decided on Cipriani's and it didn't disappoint. We read that the pizza takes some time and since we had young kids with us that aren't all that patient we called ahead and showed up about 25 min later. After seeing the sizes we ordered a large, but the sizes are deceiving because it's a very dense pizza and my husband who could usually polish off most of a pizza on his own couldn't get through two slices. The spaghetti with marinara and garlic bread was delicious as well which is what I ordered as a vegetarian. Everyone working there was kind and it was exactly the type of place we were hoping to find! read more

Obviously when I found out we were going to Chicago, I knew I absolutely had to try deep dish. And…read moreI also knew I wanted to go to a Lou Malnati's location, since that's the chain I'd heard about the most. We showed up without a reservation on a very busy evening, so it was almost an hour of waiting before we were shown to spots at the bar, which suited me just fine because I'm always okay to sit at the bar. I felt like a cocktail and the Chicago-Style Bloody Mary ("Tito's Handmade Vodka, house tomato mix, pearl onion, tomato, Sport Pepper, pickle spear, celery salt rim") sounded quite tasty. And indeed it was. The balance of flavors was nicely done and the alcohol level was perfect. (I should also mention I'd been waiting for my chance to try the infamous Malort liquor, so when I spotted it on the shelf, I asked our super friendly and helpful bartender for a shot. She gave me a little smirk when I asked for it, which I thought was amusing, and then offered up a generous pour. It was...interesting. I'm glad I tried it but it's not something I need to ever drink again.) The star attraction, of course, was the deep dish. We opted for the Malnati Chicago Classic ("Made with Lou's lean sausage, some extra mozzarella cheese and vine-ripened tomato sauce on Buttercrust") and it was phenomenal. It was so cheesy and delicious, and that sausage was top-notch. I enjoyed the heck out of it, and I can safely say it even exceeded my already-high expectations. I'm so glad we hung around for Lou Malnati's. It was totally worth the wait.

Note when dining in on the patio that it can get pretty crowded with a long wait time. Takeout has always been speedy! Tip: if you have leftover pizza, make sure you heat it up in the microwave a bit to make the crust soft again!

Umm the food was so delicious, the meatballs had so much flavor and really huge definitely a good little share. Then the calamari was perfect, not oily and super crunchy, I haven't had good calamari in forever so this hit the spot. Our pizzas were perfect, the dough had good flavor and the toppings were just the right amount. It's not Chicago's tavern style or deep dish but this was by far the best pizza we had all trip.
