I have driven by this place on Clark many times. Being a fan of deep dish pizza I completed a carry out order. I ordered a Build-a-George meatball with extra cheese. The ordering process was easy. Great text messaging about order status. The pie was heavy with goodness. The flavors were wonderful. I recommend giving it a shot. Very good. read more

What a gem! If you love pizza and a connoisseur, then you would love this pizza! Handsdown, my favorite is classic cheese pizza. I always say the first time eating at a pizzeria You gotta get there cheese pizza to taste the sauce, the dough and the cheese. Pizza came out fresh super hot just way I like it! We went on a Saturday so that we can try their deep dish/ pan pizza. Man, what can I say about George's pizza dough? It's phenomenal! nice pillowy dough with an amazing chew and flavor! with a very very light caramelized crust I love it. Shits on peqouds in my opinion! His sauce has so much flavor and nice acidic which I prefer. The service was amazing. The owner's mom served us she was a such a sweetheart and a lovely lady. The parking was easy right in front. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has been completely remodeled has a decent amount of tables and seats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For sure George's is on my top three for deep dish/pan pizzas in Chicago right now! 100% Recommend! read more

George's has seating now! When I was talking with him he said that the current plan is to keep the requirement that you order your pizza in advance, but you can come to the restaurant to eat it, I think? It's also a great idea because Raven Theatre is less than a block away from him. And the elementary school may also have events occasionally.... Anyway, he said he's going to add some appetizers to the menu. There's already the salads, of course, but they have spaghetti and meatballs too (they make a pizza with it!) so that might be part of their additional menu items. So glad to see them continuing to strengthen their business. They're the best pizza full stop and I'm love to see them continue to thrive! read more

George's had been on my list of deep dish places to try for awhile and I'm glad I finally did. First, the ordering system is genius and allows for you to time your dine in or takeout perfectly so you get to enjoy your pizza shortly after arriving. Second, I appreciate that George's is unique - from the sourdough crust to the slightly sweeter sauce. Also, it's somehow lighter than a lot of other deep dish spots in the area so it's not a total night ender where you need to get in your stretchy pants immediately following consumption (lol). Definitely worthy of a place in Chicago's best deep dish conversations. read more

George's Deep Dish - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Pretty ridiculously good food. We ordered a Halas' Classic 14" and a Weasley's Red Top 14" to ensure we had leftovers, and both were excellent. The sausage was particularly delicious, and the ingredients balanced each other well. Great sourdough crust with corn meal, and the sauce was bright and sweet within balance as well. We also got the Of The Jungle salad with Caesar dressing, and it was also excellent -- the dressing had a nice anchovy umami going on. Well worth the time and expense; note that it opens at 5pm, and pre-ordering via their website is required (or at least highly recommended). The owner's mom was the table service, which was damned sweet too. :) She was understandably proud of her boy in the kitchen. read more

Damn. Hands down the best pizza in Chicago. I am a long time fan of another Chicago deep dish pizza place on the "east side", but there is a new champ in town, George's. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food, great service, great atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were rolling through Chicago on our way home from the east coast and decided to try George's based on a recommendation. Quite impressed. When in Chicago, I will absolutely be back. read more

We've been waiting to try this place for some time. Excellent pizza, cool ingredient combos, and a kitschy interior. Couple that with the cute Nonna that brought me pizza= we'll be back. Sourdough crust is delicious. No Clark Street parking but 15 minute parking at the intersection. Seating options are minimal but can still seat a good size group. No cash, no BYOB. read more

The whole family loved George's! We tried the Clooney ER, the White Pizza, and a tavern thin and all of them tasted phenomal. We were worried the kids might think the tavern thin was burnt but they didn't mind the crispy edges. Our favorite hands down was the White Pizza. We will definitely get George's again. read more

Truly delicious life changing pizza. My new all time favorite. Service is always prompt.

George's Deep Dish has been on my list to try since opening day. Had the opportunity to stop by while in town visiting family. George's is a Deep Dish pizza spot. Placing orders ahead of time is highly recommended. Though there is seating available inside for about 20, a majority of orders are placed to go or pick up. After reviewing the menu, I quickly noticed each pizza is named after "a George" such as Halas' Classic (Italian Sausage, Cremini Mushrooms, Green Peppers, Red Onions), Clooney's ER (Ezzo Cup+Char Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Beef Meatballs, Bacon) and Carlin's Layover (Pineapple Rings, Ezzo Cup+Char Pepperoni, Fresh Jalapeño Peppers, Grape Tomatoes). I ordered a Build Your Own Chef Specialty with sausage, green peppers, grape tomatoes and garlic. I have had my share of Chicago pizza growing up here. George's is the Best Depp Dish I've had. The ingredients were fresh, flavorful and the toppings were a great combination together. Appreciate you old friend, until next time. Oh, find the appropriate "George" for the pizza we created. Deliciousness! read more

It's good pizza. It's hyped. It's a bit expensive. Order ahead of time obviously and try it out.

As vegans, a friend and I wanted to order pizzas with no cheese or meat and were told they could only do that on a deep-dish pizza, not on a thin crust pizza. That makes no sense. So we ordered only salads, both of us specifying what we didn't want on our salads, all done on the computer by the entrance. The computer made a mistake and gave us what we didn't want on our salads. Admittedly, the salads were delicious - fresh and crisp, with Romain lettuce, not iceberg. Once at the table, we wanted some water to drink; the only way to do that was to order it using a QR code and pay for a bottle of water. I don't know how to use QR codes, so we got no water. read more

Possibly the best pizza I have ever had. As with any deep dish, it is not speedy but man was it worth the wait. Nice people run the place and everything flows smoothly. Great spot with excellent pizza. If you can only try one, this is it. read more

Is it just me or does it feel like a personal accomplishment when you find a new go-to pizza spot? George's is serving up a quality pie. I mean this next statement in the best possible way. .. George's is like an elevated version of Jet's. It's deep dish, but not not because of the cheese. The dough is soft, buttery, and serves as the perfect base for the toppings. I built my own pizza with Italian sausage, cup pepperoni, spinach, and green pepper. The spinach had a nice char from the piping hot oven. It added a nice touch. I left a star off for the price. You all know I don't mind shelling out big bucks for a good meal, but I feel George's is too steep. I believe I paid over $40. Great quality from the dough to the toppings, but a little too rich IMO. read more

My husband and I came here last Saturday. Since we are out of towners, we didn't anticipate on the fact that their pizzas take 40 to 45 minutes to bake. Whoops. The place is pretty cool inside, however it was very clear that the majority of their clientele, at least for a Saturday afternoon, was nearly all takeout. The locals seem to be well aware of the time constraints of the readiness for pizza. We enjoyed the '80s music videos shown on the TV and I enjoyed the large cut out of Nathan Fillion standing in the corner. Once we got our pizza, it was really very good. In fact it was so good, that my husband and I both somewhat burned the roofs of our mouths eating it before I could cool down enough to be safely consumed without mouth burns. The woman who worked there seemed nice, but aloof, which was fine with us. I doubt we'll be in Chicago again, but if possible, we would eat here again. read more

Excellent pizza and salad! Very nice people too. There are many choices, and also seasonal variations. read more

George's is really great pizza. Truly special. The charred pepperoni and chewy crust is unmatched around here. Only issue is you can't impulse order it. You have to plan in advance, reserve one, and (usually) pick it up. Perfect if you have your own parking space, but if you don't, you'd better think ahead and snag one of these dinner pies before dark. read more

Thank you for the wonderful introduction to Chicago pizza. You and your mom were friendly and the pizza was amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a great place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Just moved to Chicago a couple months ago and I've already tried many of the pizza places near me. They were all just ok until I stumbled on George's. By far one of the best pizzas I've had. The dough was so flavorful and just right. The toppings were fresh and were just the right amount on the pizza. All that to say this will be my regular pizza place from now on. read more

Great pizza. Not your run of the mill deep dish. Ordered take out and father in law reported employees were cool and friendly.

This is a wonderful place. Best pan pizza in the city. A crisp poppyseed crust, great toppings.

Amazing pizza. Came a long way to get it and was not disappointed. It was decadent. Recommend you order before you get there if you are in a hurry. read more

Recently moved to Chicago and tried George's for the first time after hearing a lot about how this might be secretly the best place for deep dish in Chicago. The sauce and flavor were spectacular on the Carlins Layover. We thought the pizza was better than all the famous big name deep dish places that we tried. We definitely will be back to try some more of the other pizzas! read more

George's Deep Dish - Carlins layover 5/5 - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Have you ever had something so tasty, you regret every second between the moment you find out about it, and the moment it touches your lips? This is that!!! Adjust the portions. They say the 14 inch feeds up to 4 people which is correct if they are NFL linebackers or growing teenagers. But for normal people, please know the 14 inch deep dish can feed 4 easily with room to spare. That said, you will likely want to keep eating this deliciousness even when full. PSA Warning...that's on you! Indulge...but you have been warned! read more

Most incredible pizza ever. We ordered 3 pies and each was a feast of flavor, texture, cheese and sourdough deliciousness. I hate to admit, I'm one of those who doesn't eat pizza crust. Don't shun me, it's just my way, however I ate every drop of cheese baked crust. This place is one of a kind, family owned, and freaking amazing. George is a pizza artist. The salad is one of a kind as well. read more

We are from out of state and George's was recommended for great deep dish pizza. By far the best food we had on our trip. The service as great and you are even able to order ahead online and dine in. This place is a gem and will definitely be back during our next visit. read more

Waaaaaaaay too much garlic. Every slice has AT LEAST 5 whole cloves on top & there's more inside. I like garlic but it completely overpowered the pizza. You couldn't taste any other flavor, not the cheese the sauce the other toppings or the crust. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the entire house now smells of garlic. I have 2 candles burning & it still smells.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Came back to old neighborhood to visit family. I always saw this place right across the street on different visits but never paid it any attention since we have our local pizzerias we get pizza from. All I can say is I wish I tried this pizza a long time ago. The pizza was just immaculate! Every ingredient in the pie presented itself, and that's not easy to to do on a pie. To say all the ingredients were fresh would be an understatement. The feel and taste of the mozzarella was phenomenal and the sweetness to the sauce really blew my mind. The sourdough crust was amazing as well and offered something unique to the entire experience .And you have to love a pizzeria that offers spicy cherry peppers! Whether you are into stuffed pizza or the tavern style, I feel George's pizzas stands on its own when it comes to some of the best Chicagos best pizzas. read more

I enjoyed my pizza however I'm not in awe of this place. It's def better than 90% of the other deep dish pizza in Chicago however the location & the price warranted them to loose a star. Had I not been in the area I doubt I'd make a special trip to come here. With that said this pizza is really good. It's def not a tomato sauce & cheese soup like Giordano's or UNO's. read more

Really enjoyed the pie we had from here last night! It's true deep dish - not Chicago style stuffed pizza. All the specialty pizzas are named after a famous "George" - we had the Weasleys Spicy Red Top! The red sauce was good and we loved the addition of the cherry peppers. The crust had a really delicious caramelization to it! We also had a Cesar salad on the side - it was a generous portion! My wife thought the dressing was too fishy, but I liked it. Overall, a little on the pricey side. It cost us $40something for a 14" pizza and salad, but a good splurge when you're in the mood. It's a limited menu which I think is probably a good thing for this type of restaurant. We will likely try it again at some point in the future! read more

Well we loved it so much I downloaded Yelp on my walk home so that we could give it five stars! The pizza is incredible. SO delicious. We dined in, the space is comfortable, and George and the other lovely person that was working were both so kind and considerate. Love it and can't wait to go back! read more

I think we got an undercooked pie , it was very doughy, I included a photo . The ingredients were excellent in both the pizza and salad , no complaints there . They did not skimp on the cheese , plenty there. Cost was not low, $43 for the 2 items. I'll post a follow up next time we order . read more

Order ahead - this mom ad pop shop is AMAZING. We made a "build your own," and the pizza came out right on time, per the time it said it would be ready. It was really unique and yummy, and the salted toffee caramel cheesecake was SO good! The service is also amazing. The sourdough just takes it to a new level. This is our favorite deep dish in Chicago! read more

Today was my first experience with George's and the short...DEFINITELY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! Pre-ordering was easy and convenient. I ordered carry-out and received a text alert when it was ready that was literally seconds after my pickup time. VERY cool. I walked in and was greeted by George's Mother. Very sweet woman. George then appeared and we briefly discussed my choice of uncut and he showed me my Pizza. Very personable gentleman and the pizza looked and smelled amazing. By the way, uncut is definitely the way to go for carry-out. While George wrapped up with my pizza and packed desserts I ordered, a really nice couple came In to dine but had not pre-ordered. George was more than accommodating towards them. My pizza was fairly basic ( Sausage, Onions and on one side, Roasted Red Bell Peppers) but for a reason. I wanted to allow the simplicity to shine and oh how it did! The sourdough was fermented to perfection. Slightly sweet sauce and balanced. Quality sausage and the "pop" from the red onions and red peppers set it off. All in all, I can't wait to go back! THANKS GEORGE...and MOM!!! read more

George is a master at his craft! He puts care in the process and the dough is like none other. You need to order ahead of time if you want a specific time. It's just George and his mom and they make them based on the order they get the orders. read more

This just opened on 5/18 I came on 5/22. Ahh! missed the opening day. Anyway this is an artisanal pizza place that only make a limited amount per day. In other words you would have to call beforehand. Had their cheesecake & cookie. It was good. PS. It's only dine-in and pick-up. read more
