    Chicago combo
    Yi Rong T.

    One of the staple food trucks that sit on Wacker and perhaps one of the standout choices. There's usually a decent queue for the place but surprisingly doesn't take long for them to pump out piping hot fresh pizza. Chicago combo - The crust and base of the pizza is definitely the star of the show. It's got the right amount of crispy and chew with some nice hints of char. I did find the flavor combination of meats with chopped celery and carrots a bit jarring and would be interesting in trying another flavor next time. Score of 3.5/5 My friend had the pepperoni and found it to be normal and recommended the prosciutto that she had before. Would recommend to check out the place if you are in the area and perhaps try out the other pizza flavors. The service speed is good and the portions generous so you will walk away with a full belly.

    There's a lot of hype about Da Pizza Dude and I was very excited to give it a shot finally - but a little disappointed overall. The pizza was good, but not hype worthy. I ordered the veggie which was supposed to be mushrooms and green peppers. Mine also had red and yellow peppers as well. It came in a big white cardboard box + 1 napkin. I asked if she could give me a side of giardiniera and she did so that was nice of them. There are two slices in 1 order. I had 1 slice for lunch and saved the other for dinner. So the quantity you get for the $8 is pretty good. I'm not sure if I'd go back to this specific food cart for pizza though. It wasn't as special as I was hoping.

    This truck is amazing, fresh ingredients and a few options to satisfy most of the pizza eating public. A must stop for anyone who loves pizza or those curious about the lunch trucks. This pizza is the real deal Italian authentic.

    Mmmm...mmmm good!

    I was at the Lincoln Park Zoo Food Truck Social last night and I have to say that this was my favorite truck. Okay, the crispy pastrami fries from the Fat Pickle Truck was fantastic, but I was blown away by the product Da Pizza Dude produced in a truck. I ordered the prosciutto pizza. The crust was perfectly done...crispy with air bubbles and light. Just like the pizza I love when in Italy. Plenty of prosciutto, arugula and parmesan were piled on top and the sauce was very tasty. At the end of the evening, I went back to inquire if they'd do a late night snack at my step-daughter's wedding in Naperville...and they would! Seriously thinking about this truck as a special treat on her wedding day. Great job, guys! Let me know if you're truck comes to my area for any events!

    Ummmm... this might be my favorite pizza food truck downtown. The pies are the perfect size for lunch, not too small, not too big, and the crust is fantastic! Definitely legit-Italian crust... reminds me of Spacca Napoli crust, which is my favorite. Meatballs, Veggies, Pepperoni & many other choices... I dig on the classic Margherita, it's delicious, and the price is really good considering the size. My only teeny-tiny complaint would be that cans of cold beverages should not be $3. That's crazy. I pick up my pie & then run into good ol' Walgreens for a drink.

    Historic pizza place. We ate rooftop with great service. Everyone in our party of 14 had a great time. Portions were generous and full of flavor. Make a reservation if possible. Uno was the favorite among our group.

    This pizza place is really good! I'm skeptical of pizza from food trucks, but I really liked it. The crust was nice, crispy on the bottom, and soft, and I like how the basil on the margherita pizza was cooked into the cheese. Sometimes I find when it's cooked on top it'll burn at the edges. I think the price point is really reasonable too. I like to grab this during work for lunch, and the entire pizza fills me up perfectly. I am a very small and short girl though, so someone bigger than me may not be stuffed after.

    Best pizza ever! The pies are made different than your typical circular pizza as they are intended to be sized for individual enjoyment rather than shared with large groups. But even still, they are plenty big and filling! They also have some awesome options and my favorite is the Pro which is Prosciutto + Arugula + Shaved Parmesan + Topped with EVOO... and it's amazing! I also love the meatball and the margarita pizzas! The pizzas are made fresh right on the truck and the owner is super nice and friendly. I highly recommend tracking down this pizza truck if you live in Chicago and enjoy delicious, fresh, Italian style pies!

    This is one of those places that feels frozen in time -- in a good way. The wood‑paneled coziness,…read morethe dim lighting, the slightly chaotic entryway where a host with a clipboard controls the fate of your evening... it all sets the tone for a meal that's equal parts ritual and indulgence. They push the Mediterranean Bread, and honestly, you should let them. It's enormous, blistered, fragrant, and arrives like a hot air balloon made of carbs. More importantly, it gives you something genuinely delicious to tear into while you wait for the pizza pot pies to emerge from whatever subterranean chamber they're baked in. It's both a starter and a survival tool. A reservation is non‑negotiable unless you enjoy contemplating your own mortality in a weekend crowd. The wait times can stretch so long you could starve to death before your name is called -- and the regulars will nod knowingly as they step around your skeleton. Plan ahead. The salads are comically oversized, the kind of portions that make you wonder if they're meant for a family of four or a single very determined marathon runner. But let's be honest: no one is here for lettuce. We're all here for the pizza pot pie, that molten, bread‑wrapped, cheese‑laden dome of joy that defies every attempt at categorization. It's not deep dish, it's not thin crust -- it's its own thing entirely, and that's the point. This is the place you bring out‑of‑town guests when you want to show them something uniquely Chicago without defaulting to the usual deep‑dish suspects. But it's also the place you come back to on your own, because once you've had that pizza pot pie, it lives rent‑free in your brain until you return.

    Nice service. pizza pot pie is a unique take. takes 30 minutes but worth the wait…read more combo grinder was great. meditation bread was made to be shared.
