Service was fantastic! Everyone was so nice and had a smile. The food was beyond good

Wow... I hate to "let the cat our of the bag" on a place you want to keep secret, but Zazas is LEGIT. Chicago is really lacking in NY style pizza and Zazas does a great job. A little thick in the crust, but the execution is great, so I can't fault them. read more

This has been hyped up online as one of the best pizza spots in chicago. We tried a slice of Gold Medal Pizza (fresh mozzarella & olive oil). It was way too oily and lacked flavor. The service is quick and the restaurant is small but clean. read more

Zazas Pizzeria - GOLD MEDAL PIE - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

4.5 Wow! A NY-style slice joint (whole pies only after 4pm). Rather good pizza and I honestly wish it were closer to me. It's one of those where if it were close I'd be a regular but I don't think I'd be going out of my way for it. The NY slice, a benchmark, is solid. The crust was maybe a touch too thick and not enough grease dripped onto the plate but these are small issues. The white slice, usually my favorite, was not at all my favorite here. The slice was dried out and leathery and there was only one dollop of ricotta. The ricotta is the best part and helps moisten and give contrast to the slice so its absence was noticeable. I don't think the small lemon wedge added much of anything taste wise but the sesame seed crust was surprisingly good. The vibe is very much like a NY slice joint, so sparse, dimly lit, close quarters, and minimal seating. So yeah. I wish it were closer but if you're looking for NY pizza, Zaza is a very good choice. read more

Delicious pizza with a solid crust. Wish there was some more basil but overall very flavorful and good portions for 3 hungry girls. Very easy to order online and pickup too. read more

My husband stopped to pick up slices to take home after work, we do not live in the city so he had a drive home and the pizza was great even after an hour plus ride. Super yummy!! He said the service was nice and it's a cool place. We got pepperoni and a honey jam slice read more

Really, really tasty food, but a bit overpriced for the pizza. The cheese curds were delicious and the small order was perfect as an app for 2. Both the garlic aioli and red sauce were perfect and the right amount to also be able to dip our pizza crust in. The hot honey pepperoni was excellent. It was not spicy, and the perfect amount of sweet. The fresh basil was a great touch and the ricotta made it pretty to boot. read more

My partner and I stopped in for lunch before a Cubs game recently & the joint was lively! There isn't a ton of seating, but we snagged a high top as someone was leaving. We ordered a slice of cheese & a slice of their white pizza. The slices were perfectly sized & dangerously delicious (we both thought we wanted another slice, but knew we'd eat at the game.) Zaza's has some of the best pizza we've ever had. read more

FYI they stop selling pizza by the slices after 4pm I only got to try their windy sunrise pie and it was SO good. I loved the flavor combo and the thin crispy texture was great. Really wished I had time to try their other flavors as well. This place has been living rent free in my mind read more

Stopped for a slice yesterday: sold by the slice perfect balance of flavors, salty cheesiness, perfect crust nice folks under $10 for a slice of cheese and a coke, in the city, in this economy! Only wish it was closer read more

I have to say this place is not overrated! It got a lot of social media hype so it's always a feat but it held to its reputation. We got the vodka sausage and the hot honey pepperoni and both were delicious. It falls between a NY style and a hand tossed crust I would say. All pizzas are one size. We also got the chocolate chip cookie. It was solid. Kinda like a bigger flatter levain cookie, cake like in texture. read more

A hidden gem, IMHO enjoy this on site. Great thin crust, attention to detail and ample options.

it's a bit far from us, but we did a pick-up order and to be fair, by the time we ate this pizza, it has cooled off quite a bit. The online ordering process was fine. there was a 30 min wait. So the garlic knots were really big and more just like bread rolls. Not very garlicky. Also, the Caesar salad was ok - not very flavorful, despite mixing in plenty of the dressing. Pizza itself - again I'll acknowledge that it was pretty cold by the time we reached home. I did throw it in a pre-heated oven for 5 mins and that helped a bit. The sauce and all had promise. The crust was also promising after I had warmed it. Showed promise and I would want to try this pizza like fresh next time. Looking forward to then. read more

Great NY style pizza (I was born and bred in Brooklyn), fast service, and reasonable prices. Glad this place is near our condo- will return!

In a city with a lot of pizza places, Zazas definitely has a positive impact on the list. Ordering online is beyond easy and the service is fast. There are only one size whole pizzas unless you're eating in and you order by the slice. There are plenty of options to choose from and you can modify a few pizzas and add some toppings to your order. The pizzas are HUGE and you won't go hungry. We went with the Gold Medal Pie and weren't disappointed! Between two people, we had about 2.5 slices each. I definitely will never order here without adding on the garlic knots. It's a bit frustrating you only get a few, but they are very filling and just buttery garlic goodness. They're so delicious. If you are eating in the restaurant, I highly recommend ordering some of the by-the-slice pieces so you can try more of the menu without committing to an entire pizza. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. read more

A very solid pizza spot! We really liked how the crust is brushed with garlic. Next time I'd be more adventurous and try a specialty pie, but we were just trialing a standard one. Everyone was very nice and it came out fast. Will definitely be back if we are on this side of town. read more

I think I almost cried when I opened the box. Ordered the hot honey pepperoni with pork-free pepperoni instead of the regular ones. It was delicious- sweetness from the honey, umami from the pepperoni and cheese, creaminess from the ricotta, and earthiness from the basil! I will say though it is not spicy at all which was disappointing, but we just loaded up on red pepper flakes. Overall, 9/10. read more

This pizza immediately satisfied my hot honey pepperoni pie craving. It was so tasty! Not very spicy but you can always add red pepper flakes. The garlic knots were good as well but the marinara was off to me. It was too watery and sweet for my liking. Overall a great spot with easy online ordering/takeout. read more

The pizza was dried up and terrible Customer Service highly recommend not to eat here

Zaza's Hot Honey Pepperoni pizza is amazing and their most popular pie. It was perfect for 3 people. I've also liked the Caruso Special and Truffle Mushroom which gave us a great and unique variety of pizzas. The pizzas are nut free and note if they have sesame which is great for those with allergies. The cheese curds were yummy (love the sauces) and the salad was fine but helped break through the heaviness of everything else. The wait time is pretty long - they're quite busy so order in advance. I think they are opening a new location soon near the Apple Store in Lincoln Park which is very exciting!! read more

Quick bite before a show. The hype was worth it. We are in. Tasted great fresh as well as reheated for lunch the next day. Place is tiny but the cashier was friendly. I would go back if I was in the area. read more

Just a quick update to confirm that three years after opening, Zazas remains the best thin crust pizza spot in Chicago. This time around, since we don't get down there as much as we'd like, we grabbed two pies to mix and match, and then to freeze the leftovers to enjoy down the line. The white pie is excellent - it's a tough pie to execute because there's nothing to hide behind, just fresh ingredients and skill. It's delicious, and the sesame crust is a nice, unique touch. It might be fun to brush a little olive oil and salt on the crust for some added flavor, but that's a personal touch. The dough remains perfectly done, light and chewy with a great undercarriage, just the slightest flop. I have never had the opportunity to grab their grandma pie because it's usually sold out, so I was thrilled to be able to try it. It's somewhere between a free form thin, a sicilian, and a Detroit style, and it's damn great. The sauce is right where you want it (I just added a touch of salt), and the crust is so good. I have never seen my wife eat two slices of pizza faster than with this pie, she's a total convert. And that cheese - it reminds me of the way Lombardi's in NYC does their cheese in that 120 year old coal oven. So good. Being two people who grew up with east coast pizza, I mean it with the highest praise that Zazas is up there with the absolute best pizza I've ever had, in New Jersey, in New York, anywhere. Excited to go back in a few weeks to try the Windy City Pie. Until then, though, those leftovers will do just fine. read more

This is one of my new favorite Chicago pizzas! Zaza's lives up to the hype. The hot honey pepperoni is perfect in every way. Cheese curds are also phenomenal. Crunchy and more like mozzarella stick bites. Pizza came out quickly on a Saturday night. Can't wait to come back! Zaza's is also BYOB read more

Delivery was really quick and the food arrived pretty warm (can't fault them we ordered from far away lol). The cheese curds were so good that they didn't even last long enough for a pic. We got the vodka sauce pizza without sausage and it was so yummy. The crust was crunchy and fluffy and the cheese was melty. Really appreciate that they were able to accommodate our vegetarian request. Would definitely order again. read more

Zazas Pizzeria - VODKA PIE - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

10/1/26 8pm lakeview location I went into the establishment to order a pizza and the young man at the register was taking my order while another man from the back came up and said unfortunately we can't take your order. We're out of pizza dough. I felt like they were lying and we're just trying to clean up early instead of taking a customer's order at 8 PM when they closed at 9 PM so there was still a whole hour. I've then called the store to try to place the order and they lied to me again and said they don't have pizza dough. I've then proceeded to act upset and then all of a sudden they said "oh we found some pizza dough" and tried to take my order. Their excuse was sorry we were just really bombarded with DoorDash orders so we didn't want to take your order and I went in person when I asked for a manager over the phone. A guy named Ahmed came on the phone, but I don't believe he was the manager. This is absolutely unacceptable and I hope a manager sees this and everybody on that shift needs disciplinary action. You're turning customers away an hour before closing simply because you don't wanna make any more pizza. I'm sure the owner wouldn't be happy. And then for the owner to have a condescending reply. YEA GREAT BUSINESS LOL It was my first time going and now I will never go back read more

Zaza's is definitely in my top 5 pizza spots in Chicago. I loved every single slice we tried here. The whipped ricotta with pepperoni is delicious and the crust is perfectly crispy while still having a great texture. Both the NY style large slices & the square were amazing. I loved the pesto one too & will definitely be back to try more! They warm up the slices quickly and there is space to sit inside. read more

Hands down my favorite pizza place in the city! They only have a few tables so we got there earlier to make sure we could grab a table and it worked out perfectly. They have a ton of options that all sound delicious. The crust is infused with rosemary and garlic and is to die for. We ordered the gold medal pie and it was absolutely amazing. read more

Great pizza as previously noted. See they now have orange soda. Knocked it down 1 star for the following. Slices take way too long to receive. Took almost 10 minutes to even put my slice in the oven to re-heat. No, it wasn't crowded. Slices are way too small for the price read more

I loved their pizza, but stopped ordering from this place. If you pay with a card, they charge you extra 2.9%, to offset the fees they get charged by the credit card company. Passing on to the consumer those fees is not kool. A pizza is already 30 bucks, and you want to pass more fees onto consumers?... that is not a business I want to support! I'll skip! read more

Finally got to try Zazas after hearing so many good reviews! We can definitely see why. First off, if you're planning to eat your pizza fresh made there, plan to wait a little for a seat. Seats are limited, but there are a good amount of tables. We ordered our pizza there and it was out within 20 minutes, given this was on a Sunday evening and it was packed inside, while still making to-go orders as well. The garlic twists were a great starter, super warm, fluffy and garlicky. The dipping sauces were also tasty, particularly the white sauce. For the pizza, there are so many great ingredient combos, but we decided to keep it simple. We tried the hot honey pepperoni and that was a perfect blend of pepperoni and ricotta. The crust was super crispy and light - the slices themselves are nice and light so you can eat a bunch without feeling guilty! The team was super nice and welcoming and the vibes were typical of a local pizza spot. Up next for us, we want to try one of their vodka pies. Great flavor, great price, we can see why Zazas is so popular! read more

This place is amazing. I have gone in to get their regular NYC style pizza and we got the gold medal pizza. I love their sauce. I most recently got their grandma pie with pepperoni and hot honey and it was the best square pizza pie I've had!! Their service is quick. I ordered online and drive up a little early. I came in at least 10 minutes early and my pizza was coming out as I walked in. Their arancini is also soooo good. I prefer the spinach over the beef and giardinera but they're both good. read more
