    Really delicious. without a doubt a top 3 tavern style pie in the city. I've been to Vito and Nicks and few places on the north side and this place lived up to the hype. The Cesar salad was incredible.

    I saw a write up that Pizz'Amici was voted one of the best pizza places in the country. I stayed up until 1am to book a reservation a month in advance. Imagine my disappointment when we bit into our pizza. It was nothing to rave about. Crust was crispy and thin, but it wasn't a very good pizza. We all rated it subpar for the hype. Pequod's is much better in terms of flavor. This was a miss for us.

    The honey drizzle with jalapeño and pepperoni is absolutely the best combination, a perfect sweet and spicy balance! The service is always amazing when I dine in, and the quality remains just as impressive when I order out. The arugula salad is a must-try, and honestly, everything on the menu is a winner. You really can't go wrong with any choice here. Consistently delicious food with outstanding service , this place never disappoints!

    I agree with several reviews! Really unsure about the hype. We went here for dinner in the first week of December. The ambience was lacking. It's just a room with tables and chairs, not much character really. Our server was trying really hard to be cool. He had an extremely casual attitude which I thought wasn't very professional. Coming to the pizza- It's not bad pizza but it's not worth the hype either. It was salty and lacked any specific flavor. The salad wasn't bad, but I wouldn't come here just for that. Very underwhelming experience considering the hype.

    Pizz'amici is one of the newer pizza restaurants in Chicago which has been getting a ton of hype, and they're always booked out. Somehow, I managed to get a reservation for a Friday evening (I did make the reservation a month in advance though). The restaurant itself is not super spacious, so all of the tables are really close together. On top of that, it's super dark inside--this all creates for a fairly intimate but slightly loud environment. We went with the Burrata, Focaccia, and BYO Pizza. The burrata and focaccia combination was heavenly; their focaccia was so pillowy and flavorful. The pizza was also really good. I'm not sure if I would say it's the best pizza in Chicago, but it was certainly delicious! I like that they're really flexible with doing toppings on half of a pizza (and only charging you for the half), so we were able to try a lot of different combinations. We tried things like regular cheese, spicy pepperoni + hot honey, giardineria + sausage, etc. I really liked their ratio of pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings, and the crust was really yummy. Overall, it definitely is an extremely good pizza. I don't know if I would care to fight for a reservation again in the future, but if I have the opportunity to come back, I certainly will!

    Caesar salad

    We couldn't get reservations so we went just before opening at 4pm and waited outside about 15 min and were able to snag a table for three. We started with the Caesar salad which was fine but nothing special. I wish the lettuce leaves had a crispier romaine and there was something off with the dressing and there just wasn't much of it. The pizzas, though, did not disappoint in the least! The pepperoni with the hot honey drizzle was our favorite. It was absolutely delicious. The crust was paper thin and had a crunch to it around the edges - all really good and balanced. The sausage with giardinera was also slammin. Glad we came, it was a great meal and the staff was friendly and helpful.

    Halal pepperoni pizza
    Adeola O.

    Went here on Saturday. We went because of the TikTok hype. The wait is long, definitely make a reservation before you go. We ordered the Halal pepperoni pizza and a Caesar salad. The Caesar salad was pretty big and canned feed up to four people. Secondly we ordered a regular size pizza that can feed 2 to 3 people. The Caesar salad was not the best they do use butter lettuce instead of Romain. The dressing on it wasn't a traditional Caesar dressing... It was not good. I wouldn't get it again. The pizza, was decent. I do like thin crust Tavern style pizza, but this pizza was extremely thin. There was barely any cheese or sauce on it. I tasted the halal pepperoni prominently on it though. It wasn't bad. I would rate a 7.5 out of 10 as far as the flavor of this pizza. The pizza tasted like a cheese cracker. It was different! We definitely fell for the hype. The pizza was reasonably priced for what we got. We did eat the whole pizza. It did the job. The ambience in this place looked like a movie! It's perfect for a date night. It is small and intimate. I'd go back again just for that vibe. The front desk lady was really nice and professional. I would give this place another try in the future.

    Hard to walk in but easy to get take out!!! Super solid tavern style, probably some of the best in the city.

    Sausage and mushroom pizza

    I love thin crust pizza so I knew I wanted to try some tavern style pizza while in Chicago. I don't even remember how I heard of this spot, but was so excited to get a reservation for 9 pm on a weeknight while in town. Nate and I arrived and they couldn't find my name on their list. Turns out, I made the reservation for a month later, womp womp. They were SUPER kind and accommodating and let us wait for a spot at the bar. I also didn't realize they closed at 9, so I am so grateful that they let us stay. Because this place was amazing. We started with some drinks - I got the Amalfi spritz, and Nate got the pepperoni negroni. When I tell you this was the best Negroni I've ever had, I'm not being dramatic. It was super balanced and smooth, and delicious! The menu is pretty small, with a few starters, salads, a couple desserts, and the pizza. You get to build your own but they recommend three or fewer toppings, so we did sausage and mushroom. When they say it's cracker thin crust, they mean it. It was super crispy and thin, which I really loved. I like tavern style wayyyy more than deep dish! We even ate the leftovers cold the next day and they were still delicious. I will say that it was definitely quite salty, but I loved the quality of the ingredients and the savory sauce. Plus we had great service from everyone we encountered. The space is tiny and reservations are highly recommended - just be sure you're making them for the right day!

    This pizza is something that you would really enjoy if you prefer a saltier option. The thin crust and crisp within it is amazing, the sauce is a bit too salty, but still does work. The cheese is good, but I would say this is a saltier option compared to most. The thin crust is great and eats well, having you want more in the process because of how many slices you can eat with it being so light. Overall, solid pizza and service but location is smaller and does feel like a mom and pop pizza joint which is cool.

    Finally scored a reservation at Pizz Amici and I get why it's such a tough table. The space is small and cozy, which adds to the charm but definitely makes it a hard res to snag. We started with drinks: the espresso martini was excellent, and I tried a dirty gin martini with anchovy, unique, fun to try, though probably a one-and-done for me. For apps, we split the chopped salad, meatballs, and focaccia bread (a perfect trio, and they kindly added an extra meatball since we had four people). Everything was fresh and flavorful. The star, of course, was the pizza. We ordered two tavern-style pies: a pepperoni with hot honey, plus a half sausage/giardiniera and half Italian beef/giardiniera. The giardiniera definitely brought the heat (pretty sure it's from JP Graziano), but it worked perfectly. Two pizzas were just right for four people, and they absolutely lived up to the hype crispy, bold, and packed with flavor. Loved the pepperoni the best! Service was great, the vibe was warm and homey, and the price felt more than fair. All in all, Pizz Amici deserves the hype and a full five stars. Definitely worth going if you can snag a table.

    It's tough reviewing a no frills pizza joint that has reservations over a month out, but PIZZ'AMICI does what it does very well. What you will get is very great, quick service, a menu that's 100 percent focused in and around one size of pizza and a very solid drink menu for a small place. I feel like if I was a long time regular I would be annoyed at the tourist feel because it's very intimate and feels like a place you can hang out at for hours. Food is simple and delicious. Ceasar salad and the capatona is a must, and the pizza is light and crispy, not the most amazing pizza you will ever have but hits the spot everytime.

    Jalapeno and hot honey pizza
    Natasha M.

    A really good tavern-style crispy pizza. Amazed by the story of this starting in the basement and pizza brought friends together. Reservations are hard to find, I think because it's a very small, cozy space and it feels like a family dining room. At their recommendation, we got a jalapeno and hot honey pizza which was incredible. Not too spicy but had a lot of flavor. I was in love with the crust--how it was able to hold the weight of the toppings without being too dense. It had a great bite and had a lot of flavor as well which was exciting to me. I cannot claim this as my favorite thin pizza in the city BUT I definitely within the top 3 and would love to come back to try more combinations of toppings. Shout out to the focaccia though that was incredible. My only disappointment is the dessert menu, maybe they will add more of a variety (and something gooey and chocolatey) in the future!

This was my very first Chicago deep-dish pizza experience, and now I understand why everyone talks about it. The buttery crust, layers of cheese, flavorful sauce, and generous toppings made every bite worth the wait. One thing I would definitely recommend is making a reservation if you can. This place is popular for a reason! We waited a little over 35 minutes for a table, but luckily a couple of spots opened up at the bar, and we grabbed them right away. The atmosphere was lively, the staff was friendly, and the pizza was everything I hoped it would be.

So delicious After getting it, my buddy had to get one too haha One of us had the moonwalk cheese, we go out for a lot of pizza together, and he said it was he thought his favorite of anywhere. Another one of our crew got the pepperoni pile up loved. And I got the sweet and salty space candy pizza With bacon, pineapple, pickled red onion, goat cheese, sambal. Genius, the goat cheese, instead of ricotta was the move for this pizza! All the flavors worked in perfect harmony.Nothing short of amazing.

For food - we ordered the blooming onion (forget what they call it), the wings, and two pizzas. My husband tried a gin cocktail and beer, both which he enjoyed. Onion 4/5 - tasty and good dipping sauce Wings 5/5 - crispiest wing I have ever had and they might be my favorite in Chicago... hot honey was delicious. Carmalized onion 3.5/5 - this was very tasty, perfect crispy edges and fluffy center. The flavor was good but could have used some acid to break up the richness Vodka meat pizza 4/5 - very tasty. I think the vodka sauce could be fine tuned but overall really enjoyed. We had pizza a lot lately so skipped the classics but if we come back I'd probably try the pepperoni and/or sausage.
