    Cheese slice yummy $4.96 Total
    karina k.

    Brianne was the sweetest! She explained the deals to me and so easy going and hard working at the same time. Wow NY style pizza is really here. The cheese is gooey, the crush is thin, and it's really good w the sauce ratio. Dine in or outdoor seating. They have been here since 1961! And they are still here for a reason. Enjoy when you miss NY style pizza. It's $4.96 a cheese slice as of 3/27/26. Only missing piece is a chewy crust and bottom. Otherwise it's great

    Two slices & a can of pop, $12.04 tax incl.

    This patch of Broadway is about the closest Chicago gets to looking like the Bronx. Characters go in, they come out. The lady managing the counter was definitely a type. You be polite, and she'll be polite. It's a no-nonsense, no frills kind of place. They have a couple of specials: Two slices and a can of pop or one slice & fries and a can of pop. Either way, the sausage pizza was very good.

    Gigio's brings me back to New York with its pizza and vibe. Prices are reasonable and quality is just what you'd expect from a low key pizza spot. Dining area is minimal. This is more of a to go spot, and service is friendlier than your typical NYer. They'll ask if you want your pizza cut in squares or slices. You better choose the latter. Pizza comes with lots of cheese, a sweet sauce, and crust is the right balance of sturdy and foldable. Getting a bigger pie will give you the crust you're looking for. Gigio's does have Chicago classics like Italian beef, pasta, and more. Service was prompt, pizzas were made quick, and the dining area is clean. I'll be back.

    Thick Chicago crust... gross!

    New York style pizza is Chicago style crust... I was told I had to ask for super thin, when for 10 years I have gotten extra extra thin slices.

    Came highly recommended by my brother-in-law, even went so far as to order two extra large half cheese half sausage unbaked, frozen, to bring with me on a plane to North Carolina, as he could only think of one thing he wanted from Chicago, and that was his Gigio's pizza. Simple menu, family owned, and certainly has created a lot of memories for people all over the city. New York City style, Can order a whole pie or just a slice to go. Limited seating available, total hole in the wall, but sometimes those are the best kind of places! If you are lucky, the owner, Giovani, may be there checking to make sure the pizza is on point! Old school italiano New York style pizza at its finest!

    The suspicious charge.

    Bad greasy drippy pizza and I had to dispute a phone charge on my debit card. This was the last placed I used my debit card and I think they cloned it!

    overall for sure this is a nice late night spot for pizza, always get a s (12") for me. Pepperoni and cheese for the last 3 times ? Service is fast, nice, efficient for the most part. The average wait for a fresh pizza is like 20 minutes. The ambiance of the place will remind you of what a semi decent pizza place will look like! Overall would recommend to anyone who is looking for pizza late at night !

We started with the Greek salad and flatbread, and they were just as delicious as I remembered. The salad is HUGE--I'll come back to that. For the table, I ordered the half-pound pot pie pizzas. You're given three options: sausage and mushroom, sausage without mushroom, or mushroom only. The first time I visited, I was brought there by a Muslim couple who didn't eat pork. Although I'm not Muslim, I also don't eat pork, and another person in our group doesn't eat mushrooms. We were able to find pot pie options that worked for everyone. I also remember the menus telling the interesting history of the area, including the connection to the Valentine's Day Massacre across the street. That history and character seem to have disappeared as well. When the pizza arrived, I honestly thought a frozen pizza would have tasted better. The sauce tasted like Ragu spaghetti sauce soup, with two nearly raw, completely UNSEASONED whole mushrooms floating in it. It was horrible. Because I don't eat pork, I needed an alternative for the meat. What I received were two DRY, OVERCOOKED, well-done, flavorless hockey pucks disguised as "meat patties" that I was expected to crumble into my pizza. Not one of the five people at our table liked their pizza. My brother, who has also visited this restaurant several times said the pot pie was not how he experienced in the past. At that point, a few of us agreed that we might come back for the salad and flatbread, but the pizza was a complete miss. Then things got worse! As we were getting carry-out containers to take home the remainder of our food--with hopes of somehow doctoring up the pizza in our kitchens--we divided up the leftover salad and flatbread. Our server gave us two condiment containers for the salad dressing. (There are two different dressings that you mix and drizzle over the salad.) We packed up our food, and there was enough salad and bread left for at least two more people. So we asked for additional containers for the dressing. That's when we were told there was a limit of TWO dressing containers per table. WHAT??!!! Even Italian Garden will give you as much dressing as you need without making you feel like you're being upsold to PURCHASE the dressing. At that point, all five of us agreed: the salad and flatbread were good, but they weren't good enough to make us want to return. The watery pizza soufflé and container policy, was a disappointment and turnoff. What I remembered as a unique, memorable Chicago dining experience now felt overrated and more like a tourist trap. It was $250 wasted. I'll also be sharing this experience on my social platforms as well. Honorable mention: The glasses slide around due to the unevenness of the tables (not the booths) and the condensation underneath the drinks. Spend money on the uneven light fixtures outside of your establishment and the rickety tables. Just a thought.

We were waited by Bill - who gave great recommendations and provided great customer experience the entire time! 10/10 from him. The focaccia + burrata combo was incredible - I typically don't opt for bread + pizza, although this was so worth it. The focaccia was perfectly crispy yet so soft, and pairing burrata on top gave it that creamy/cold combo that was perfect. The pizza was very elevated - good simple ingredients with an incredible crunch. Extremely paper thin. Highly recommend to come here!

We ended up doing a walk-in on a Sunday night and showed up at 8 PM one hour before close. This worked out for us because we got a really good seat after only waiting for 20 minutes. Service is good and timely- the hostess was super kind and helpful. We started with some cocktails- a Negroni & a spritz (both were good & pretty strong). Then we split the Caesar salad and a pizza with half sausage/olive and mushroom/onion. Yeah, the pizza did blow me away- the crust is perfectly crunchy and so so thin. I wouldn't even describe it as traditional tavern style pizza because I think it's a really crunchy crust- but it's definitely wayyyyy better than Dimi Dimi (that's the most comparable crust imo). The sauce has a slight spice to it, and the whole pizza just feels very layered in terms of flavorful profile. The sausage was also spicy but very good and I absolutely loved the mushroom and onion duo. Sometimes when you go to a certain pizza places, it doesn't feel worth it, but all the ingredients felt elevated here and the pizza had an elevated taste. The Caesar salad had a nice light dressing and a ton of cheese. I wish that the lettuce had a bit more of a crunch to it, but they seemed to use butter lettuce. The inside feels like a classic Italian joint, but it's very small and simple Overall, so glad that I finally went and although it's not a place that I would go regularly because I live far, I would definitely come back!

    Kari's Rating 9.25/10…read more TLDR: -2 types of pizza, tavern = thin, Artisan = doughy -Opens at 4pm-Can have a line when opening! -One of my personal favorites for pizza in River North! Came with a friend for dinner around 4 PM and man was it crowded as soon as those doors opened. It had been my first time there and I'm more of a lover of pizza that has a little bit of dough, so we started off with the crispy calamari appetizer, and then went straight in with the artisan style vodka, pizza while adding Italian sausage. Calamari was pretty good, it was lately battered, and not very oily which I appreciated. It came with a lemon as well as some kind of mayo, dipping sauce. It was very delicious and light and came out relatively quickly after ordering. I was trying to see room as the pizza was the absolute star of the show-The cheese came almost the ends of the perfect puffy and doughy crust. Although, the middle of the pizza was thinner than the artesian, puffy crust, yet you could taste everything when you took a first bite. The combination of cheese, sauce, banana peppers, and the Italian sausage was incredible. Now, normally I would think vodka anything would be a little heavier, but it actually was a perfect light bite pizza. We seated in the secondary dining room and it had a very interesting layout, but it was very trendy and modernly decorated. I can't believe how packed it got considering we went in on a Monday. We left around 6:30 and the place was almost fully packed, including their first entrance seating. I fake to the bathroom as I was paying the check, and it was interesting considering the bathrooms were only one stall per gender, which is very unlike River North considering the bathrooms, usually take up a significant portion of the restaurant layout-but who knows, maybe they didn't have the space? We finished off our early lunch with a tiramisu and it didn't come out traditionally looking like a tiramisu, considering it came in a bowl almost as a pudding. It was coated in a dusting of cocoa and chocolate crispy rice balls, but was surprisingly not very coffee flavored. I don't personally like the strong coffee taste into tiramisu-and I found it absolutely delightful, although I would consider it more of a vanilla tiramisu than a traditional. Overall, a very positive experience, the servers were relatively attentive, the prices were moderate for pizza in River North, appetizers and dessert was relatively good as far as pizza goes in Chicago and I look forward to returning sooner than later!!
