    Margherita

    Bold flavors and authentic pies. This place is fantastic and the staff/owners were extremely friendly. Will definitely come back anytime I find myself in Chicago.

    Atmosphere was cute and cozy. Service was great! On to the food...I ordered the margherita which was excellent! A nice standard Neapolitan style pie. I also decided to order the pesto caprese. The buratta was good but the pesto sauce was a bit too salty. I would've preferred it without the pesto altogether to be honest. I'll definitely be back! Great spot!

    10.5" Margherita Pizza

    Before I crack my knuckles and throw down, you should know I stopped in for a Margherita Pizza. So, let's take a quick detour: The couple times I tried to make my own salsa, I started by throwing tomatoes into a blender. I quickly learned this was a noob move, because you are left with tomato water! I mention this, because the tomato sauce at Strapoli reminds me of these failed culinary experiments of mine. I'm not sure what they were going for, but the result was bland tomato water. When the pizza was still piping hot, it slid right off together with the cheese. Is stayed put a little better once it cooled off some, but still not great. Speaking of cheese, the pieces of mozzarella were fine, but in light of everything else, they effectively stood alone. The small bits of basil failed to make an impact, and it seemed no seasoning of any kind was used. No EVOO either. The salt, red pepper, and oregano helped wake the slices up somewhat, but this seemed like a half-measure. Besides, food should be great out of the kitchen, and not mandate additional seasoning by guests. Without them, the only flavor I was able to pick up on was the one of burnt dough. As much as I want to give them some credit for a cute location and friendly service, this is not enough to get them out of the hole. A well-made Margherita Pizza can be heaven. This poor thing was purgatory.

    BEST PESTO I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE absolutely no cap. This was my first meal in Chicago and I was so impressed!!! The family story behind the business is amazing & the owner we met was so kind & appreciative. Can't wait to come back!!!!

    I love a good Neapolitan pizza and this one is so good! Cute little shop with some outside seating, but feels very European. Fresh, quality ingredients and the staff were helpful and friendly.

    Pizza was great! Waitstaff was very friendly, cozy atmosphere. Not great for large groups but nice spot for two. Very casual dining, but pizza was great! Pizza could be split for 2 people

    Got the Margherita pizza. So good and fresh, cooked perfectly. Excited to go back and try a new flavor!

    10.5" Pistachina Pizza Half eaten
    Jim D.

    I say "gotdman". I've read a couple of articles mentioning how good this pizza was namely the "pistachina". While the pesto pizza was good the marinara stole the damn show. It taking me years & quite possibly a fucking decade to find a Mariana sauxe pie that liked. This sauce is special to say the least. Not to sweet, full of flavor, texture is light. It's just quite possibly the best sauce in Chicago whischnis a tall order in a renowned pizza town. Yes the portions are small & yes considering the size this is quite expensive but the taste of amazing. The dough is chewy but not obnoxiously so. In closing this is quite possibly my new favorite pizza in Chicago & if not it's on par with the best.

    Must visit this spot!!! This pizza is fabulous! The owner and his family were so so nice. The vibes are also very quaint inside. Don't skip out on this awesome Diversey pizza spot.

    Strapoli is always amazing! I've been on multiple occasions and it never disappoints. I feel like I am eating pizza in Rome! Their salads are also amazing. It is BYOB, so I recommend bringing a bottle of wine! Must stop place for a casual, delicious meal.

    We got so lucky on Valentine's Day - we walked in around 6:15 PM and got seated immediately at one of the bar areas. We were instructed to use the QR code to order our pizza at our seats, which I could see helped with the line of pick-up orders flowing in and out. After 6:15 onward the place was packed. It felt like a private night with the owner Marc Berec (https://www.instagram.com/marcberec/?hl=en) as we watched him craft pizzas behind the counter. Italian music played in the background as we sipped our BYOB wine from Foxtrot across the street and enjoyed our fresh pizza. The Pistachina pizza's strengths are the pesto and mushrooms, however, I would love it if the pistachios on top were a touch more diced. Cheers!

I make better salads and dressings! We ordered a large pan pizza which was overly salty with burnt crust edges. The cheese and tomato sauce were really good, but the saltiness killed it for me. The place was packed and very noisy. Not sure if it was quieter on the second floor. When you have lots of customers, it's important to have a system of checking the status of the restrooms very often. They were quite neglected. We often have out-of-town and foreign guests to host and show off our city to. We always include a deep dish pizza meal for their experience, and usually at Lou Malnati's. Always a great experience, especially the branch in downtown Naperville- consistently good. And Lou's really makes the best salad than anywhere! Sometimes for a potluck contribution I just pick up a Lou's salad, guaranteed to make everyone happy. However, our guests enjoyed the pizza and dessert; thus, I can give 3 stars for our experience at Pequod's.

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.

There are some outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating, including an upstairs. Service was nice. They came by to ask us how we were doing - probably they could see us bored waiting for the pizza. Yes, the deep dish pizza takes a while to cook. We ordered several for our big group, so we knew there would be some time to kill. If I had known we could pre-order, I would have done so. The phone message system is not very clear. Also I made a reservation on Open Table, but the host wasn't really acknowledging them. I had to go check in to make sure they had my name down. Classic $38.25 (large, has 8 slices) / highly recommend this one. I love it so much! Hot honey $40.25 for deep dish large size - this was ok to try but not as strong as I'd like Margherita pesto - ehh, I wouldn't get it again The Lou - I also wouldn't get this again when the classic is so good! Can't wait to come back to Chicago for more deep dish pizza!
