Love a BYOB pizza joint. Do wish they did single slices though. It's a kind of small place, but the pizza was very fresh. We started with a Caesar salad, which was pretty standard. Nothing special about it. The pizza was crispy but a little oilier than I'd have liked. Overall, I'd probably come back on a Tuesday since they have deals on the pizzas.
Craft Pizza a pizzeria in the Wicker Park neighborhood. The offering artisan and specialty style pizzas and appetizers as well. All of the pizzas are very customizable and they feature a wide range of toppings qnd other items like sauces. They have a great patio setup to enjoy on the nice weather days of Chicago. You can also BYOB and they offer great service definitely a great place to get dinner.
I've been walking past this tiny pizzeria for what feels like forever and finally decided to stop in. The place is super cute, really clean, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming even though I looked completely lost like I had no idea what I was doing. Since it was my first time there and I was on my way home from work, I decided to grab a slice of sausage and cheese and I'm telling you it was freaking amazing. I couldn't even bother driving home so I ate it right in the car and honestly I don't regret a single bite. The crust was perfectly crisp, the cheese melted just right, and the sausage was flavorful and cooked to perfection. I kept thinking to myself how I don't understand why I haven't stopped here sooner because this pizza is exactly what I needed after a long day. This is definitely one of those little hidden gems in the city. The staff makes you feel welcome, the place is spotless, and the pizza is consistently great. I will absolutely be back to try more slices and I highly recommend anyone passing by to stop in and give it a shot. You will not be disappointed.
Wonderful pizza place! The staff were extremely friendly and answered all of our questions (that were clearly on the chalk board). Didn't take long for a 14 inch which is 6 slices total, great for 2-3 people. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the summer evening! Will definitely come back!
A little pricey for a BYOB spot but the pizza is tasty and the portions are large. You choose between a 14 inch or an 18 inch pizza and they allow you to build your own as well. Only a few other items on the menu like cheesy bread and salad - they do have some outdoor seating on Damen and a variety of board games available too!
Pizza is still excellent but I would not use the slice app for online ordering. It is a disaster. They send you a link and make you download the app in order to monitor the progress of your online order. However, it seems that you can't actually do that unless you initiate the order through the app. And once you sign up you get spammed. Whatever. Just don't use the app or probably their online ordering and you will be fine. Do you really need a special app for ordering on line pizza anyway. Well no, you do not.
Unfortunately, the last time we ordered Craft Pizza, it was just not good. Such a disappointment because we ordered from there a month ago and it was amazing. I actually thought I finally found my new favorite pizza spot. But this last time was disgusting. Horrible crust, nasty sweet sauce and gross cheese. Everything was bad about this pizza. And it was totally burnt. Where is the quality control? How could it be totally different than before? So sad.
Glad I finally tried this place! Passed by in a million times and always wanted to give it a go. Might be my favorite pizza in the neighborhood! Friendly staff and a cute outdoor patio if you choose to eat there. This will be a go to in my rotation for pizza night!
This is one of the best New York slices in city! They are always fast and nice at this location. Can't go wrong with any pizza and I've almost tried them all! They also sell slices during happy hour times which is nice. Great delivery also and they always get the order right! Grateful to have this great option in area!
I love Craft Pizza! Best NY style pizza in the neighborhood, possibly the city. They have a great special on Tuesdays, any medium house pizza for $10 or large for $15. They do slices at select times. I've tried their white and red pizzas and they're both good! I've only done takeout but they do have seating inside and outside. Limited street parking in the area.
I chose Craft Pizza because the ratings were fairly high and it looked like they had some craft. Maybe even some pizazz -- as they had chickpeas and cranberries in their organic salad. We ordered a 3 item pizza and salad for delivery. It was bad, like so bad we regretted eating it. Here's why: 1. There was no discernible sauce. None. This was a regular pizza with 3 ingredients and there was no flavor of sauce at all. Sauce is very important to the flavor of pizza. This pizza had no flavor except.... 2. Olives were one of the toppings. But these olives were so salty that the only flavor on the whole pizza was salt. It was salt pizza. Note: I always get olives--I'm not sure if these olives were different or what. But they made the whole pizza inedible. 3. The outer crust of the pizza was fine. The whole center crust was as thin and soggy as a Kleenex. Yuck. Mortal pizza sin. Read no further. 4. The cheese was flavorless. 5. We happen to get mushrooms. There were so few mushrooms on the pizza, that it didn't seem like a mushroom pizza. It probably averaged out to 2 slivers of mushroom per slice and no actual taste of mushroom. These were just plain mushrooms, nothing fancy. Have mushrooms gotten expensive or something? One of the diners noted: "I never noticed a mushroom. I ate two slices. That's a total surprise to me that there were mushrooms on this pizza. I barely tasted an artichoke either." 6. There was nothing positive about this pizza at all. It was just bad and disappointing. Outer crust was ok.... It also took more than an hour which was a lot longer than it predicted. (But that probably wasn't Craft Pizza's fault.) Salad was ok. We threw this pizza away. Try another place...
Craft makes some fantastic pizza and is a community staple in the Wicker Park area. It's nothing crazy or gimmicky that makes it good - no secret or unusual toppings, no square cut, no deep dish - just the perfect amount of fresh ingredients cooked the right way with attention to detail. Crust is foldable but still has a nice crunchy snap to it. Cheese & sauce are both solid. White and red pies are both good. The Devil in the White City is great as a white pie and red I usually opt for the regular margarita with pepperoni. They have always been consistent in the fact that I've had the same pie multiple times and it's always been perfectly done. Make sure to stop in or call ahead on a Wednesday to get their special $10 for a large pie!

We arrived for dinner shortly after they opened at 5 on a Friday, ordered two 14" pizzas with soda at the counter, and seated ourselves. Before our pizzas were done, the woman who took our order came to add another table next to ours, to give us extra room for our pizzas - which we really appreciated! My wife ordered the "Plain Jane" pizza which has tomato sauce, whole milk, fresh mozzarella, pecorino romano, and she added ricotta. I ordered the "Amore" which is their margherita pie, and added "anichini bros" special sausage, and "ezzo" brand pepperoni. The first thing I noticed was the fantastic aroma of pizzas cooking in their ovens. Our pizzas looked very good when they arrived, and we loved them. The flavor of each ingredient on my pizza, and the slice as a whole, was perfect. The crust was also really good. My wife loved her slice as well, and said that two decades after moving here it's the first pizza to closely resemble one from the East Coast. I tried a bite of hers, and the flavor was fantastic. The weather was still accommodating on Oct. 2 for patrons to sit outside - and by the time we were leaving around 6 more than half of those tables were full. I can guess that in Winter, the small dining area inside fills up fast. We noticed there was a steady stream of takeout and delivery orders going out the door. The restaurant was clean and uncluttered. They use Toast for ordering and paying. There is un-metered street parking on Damen. The cross streets are residential permit parking only, but it's not that far to walk from Milwaukee Ave. or Division Street for more parking. We were lucky to find a spot less than a half-block away. We will definitely keep Craft Pizza in mind if we're on the North Side and want a great pizza fix. read more

Finally tried Craft. I live nearby, so I placed a home order and walked. Their DoorDash was turned off for some reason. They let me do half and half which was nice (but you can't mix red/white sauces). We went with Bacon Bianca and Devil in the White City. I enjoyed both. My husband wasn't a fan because the crust is super then and there's an equal layer of cheese, if not thicker, so he said it was too cheesy. The toppings weren't exactly evenly dispersed but I know they were busy. We also tried the garlic bread. It was alright. If I came back I would prob give the red pizza a try. read more

Great local artisan pizza place! Get "the devil in the white city". Highly recommend going on Tuesday for the $12 pizza deals, my husband and I would BYOB a bottle of wine and sit on the patio in the summer, and normally I'm not a sit down pizza date kinda gal. Great ambiance, also family friend - Locally owned, nothing fancy. Service is always good, owner is super friendly. If you do go on Tuesday go early because they fill up fast. Much prefer their dine in over take out (I've gotten takeout a little well done in the past.) read more

I came in a little before 6:30pm on a Friday and was able to snag one of the last pepperoni slices! The staff were very friendly even though they looked quite busy. They still had a few cheese and sausage slices too, and offered to heat up the slice. A single slice came out to less than $4, and came out hot and fresh. What a great deal! The pepperonis were slightly cupped, the crust was perfectly crisp, and the cheese was stretchy. They have a ton of inside and outside seating and it's on Damen which has a quaint residential vibe. I'll have to come back for a whole pizza next time. read more

Excellent pizza with indoor and outdoor seating . Didn't try the salad but saw a lot of people enjoying their salads. It's BYOB and they have only water and soda. Great outdoor seating. Cute how they repurposed old San Marzono tins as pizza stands. You order at the counter and they bring the pizza to you. Would eat here again if I'm in the area read more

Ambience: A regular pizza parlor. No high expectations. Service: Awesome! Food: The best! We got one 14-inch with two different toppings. So yummy and fulfilling. They don't sell wines but you can buy some from the liquor store down the street. Pizza and wine are a great combo! Would I come back: Absolutely! read more
We got delivery which was very fast and the pizza was hot, crispy thin crust and clever toppings , they have a choice of sauce (red/white/half half). We really enjoyed the pizza and house salad and looking forward checking it out in person! read more

Really great pizza and right around the corner! They have really kind staff and are very communicative! We wore our mask to pick up the pizza and it was ready on time. Very easy and felt safe. The margarita pizza was really good, we added pepper chinos and pepperoni. The cheese tasted so fresh and homemade!! The salad was sooo good. I ended up keeping the thing of dressing and using for my salads for the rest of the week. read more

Solid place for some New York style pizza! I've been searching for somewhere with a great thin crust and I think I've found it at Craft. They sell pizza by the slice during their happy hour, which is a fantastic deal with a cheese slice for $3 and pepperoni/sausage for $3.50. We opted for the Devil in the White City and it had a nice punch of heat with the gooiest of cheese pulls. Really the only thing I have to fault is that the tip of the pizza does not hold up very well, so sometimes the toppings are sliding off as you pick up a slice from the tray. Great outdoor patio space too! Definitely will be back soon as this is the best NY pizza I've had here so far. read more
