White Slice with Vodka Sauce and Giardenara
Nikki R.

No surprise that my experience at Zaza's Lincoln Park was so great, considering the fact that their more senior Lakeview location never fails to impress. A unique plus offered here is that they actually offer slices! Not only that, but the slices they offer aren't just plain slices, but you can add toppings. I got a white slice with vodka sauce and giardanera topping per the suggestion of the staff (who btw, were super nice and attentive), and it was delicious! This location is definitely a different vibe than the Lakeview location, where it's more dark inside and has bar seating. Will definitely be back!

Olive and greens salad
Johnfavour N.

I'm really happy Zazas opened up this new location in Lincoln Park! It has a great ambiance for dining in and delicious NY-style pizza. From the layered lighting to the seats to the matching silverware, it really feels like an upscale pizza dining experience. Music was at a good level and pacing of the food was great, which makes this a great date night spot. The server was available to take orders and refill waters and didn't linger. The olive and greens salad was massive, delicious and came out really fast. The Hot Sopresatta pie was delightful - perfectly chewy crust and great structural integrity to hold all the toppings. The fennel oil and hot honey complement the spicy sopresatta really well. Service was really quick and friendly since we came after the first rush around 7:30pm. They offer pizza by the slice on weekends until 4pm or sold out but this is subject to change. A note for leftovers: if you blast it in an air fryer the crust gets hard. You'll want to use the bake setting on a lower temp for a bit longer maybe 5-6 mins. You can also use a "calzone" method where you stack two slices so the crusts are on the outside, to prevent the sopresatta from burning when you reheat it. Parking can be a bit tough in this area, prepare to circle around a bit and you might have to parallel park. Although at off-peak time at 7:30pm it wasn't too hard to find street parking. We walked over to off-color brewing afterwards to have a beverage and play games to finish the night. Definitely will be coming back to get our pizza fix!

Is there a 10/10 option? The best pizza in Chicago. We love the Caruso, the pepperoni, the cheese, the grandmas. You just can't go wrong with their unique salt crusted huge format thin dough pizzas. A pizza you can totally crush and not feel sick afterwards. Divine every time. Family owned master chefs who have loads of food experience and bringing their magic to this specialty pizza pie. YUM doesn't begin to describe it.

Ice Cream

TL; DR: Great Pizza; nice ambience inside the restaurant Love the Lakeview location, so I had to try the new Lincoln Park restaurant for dinner. The inside is lined with tables and bar seating. The olive salad is delicious and full of goodies. The pizza is divine and the ice cream with Chocolate & Pistachio shavings is worth the indulgence. I wish they had the Bacon Jam at this location, but hopefully one day! Can't wait to go back

Upscale pizzeria located in a busy area of the city. Super cool spot. Pick one of their signature style pizzas; I went with the White pie, and watch them prepare and then cook it in one of their many - super cool- pizza ovens! An elevated touch of class in their design style. Very nice area for serving drinks, although the bar wasn't exactly open. Nice area to sit and dine in , enjoy a pie with friends / family. It may have been they were too busy for bar service. It was super slammed but we still had our pizza out to us in less than 20 Minutes. Now that's service for a gourmet pie! Amazing PIZZA. I like it New York Style! Fold your slice up and eat it just like grandmas homemade pies . So good! The white is authentic, tastes a little Greek style to me; sesame crust, lemon wedge- so good. Must try. Polite staff. Friendly service. Very busy shopping area. Clothing stores, mobile stores, Whole Foods. Upscale area, and beautifully designed and planned out living area. Next to the water , canal and ferry is available in the summer for tours along the water. Incredible value & style here. Our family has tried this pizza in their other location as well. Zazas is Always consistent , and good value for a Gourmet Pie, $35/. 6 mega slices. ENJOY!

Opening night!

I've been a Zazas regular at the Lakeview location for the last 3 years - I'm obsessed with finding good NY-style pizza and Zazas does it better than anyone else in town. If you've seen the One Bite review, Portnoy said it perfectly - when you bite into it, you taste New York. The dough, the chew, the Maillard on the cheese, the leoparding underneath, that rosemary-infused olive oil on the crust...it all comes together into the perfect slice. When I heard they were opening a new location in Lincoln Park, I was already excited. Then I found out it was taking over the former Pizzeria Bebu space (used to be one of my favorites before it closed during COVID) and that was the cherry on top. It felt almost poetic that my new favorite pizza spot was moving into my old favorite's home, so of course I had to go on opening night. The new location is bigger than Lakeview (but still cozy) and the dining experience is a bit more refined (actual plates/glasses/silverware instead of paper plates/plastic cups). Most importantly: the pizza is every bit as good as the original. I had the plain cheese (added fresh basil), the white pie, and the truffle mushroom. All excellent and perfectly balanced. The cheese slice here continues to be the benchmark slice in Chicago for what a proper NY slice should be. The owners were making the rounds thanking everyone for coming in on opening night and were super friendly. Lincoln Park is lucky to have such an awesome new addition to the neighborhood!

The Italian beef + giardiniera half was good too, more savory and heavier, but the meat had more of a pulled texture than actual than expected. 7.5/10. The seafood skillet didn't really land for me. It had too much wine flavor and the breadcrumbs got soggy fast. 4/10. Overall, come here for the pizza only. That's what makes this spot worth fighting for reservations.

The onion rings, though, were absolutely fantastic. Service was top notch, and we were so well taken care of. I honestly can't imagine how they handled so many customers that night--kudos to the team. And the bathrooms were super clean, which I always appreciate. I'd definitely go back for a pint and to watch the game.

The decor has beautiful art and dark wood all around, making it a cozy experience that's not too crowded or loud.

Food reviews: Truffle and mushroom tavern--light and well balanced. Delicate sweet notes from the red onion balance out the earthiness of the mushroom, truffle and charred crust. Cheese doesn't overwhelm the pie and compliments all ingredients with a salty bite Spicy vodka and sausage--so different than the first pie but equally as delicious! Vodka sauce has a deep flavor with only subtle heat. Sausage packs a ton of flavor. Heavier of the two pies since it had more cheese on it but my husband enjoyed Chocolate peanut butter sundae--birthday celebration treat brought by our server! Wow it's a must order. The puppy chow was an insanely smart ingredient to add for texture and bit of chocolate. Can't wait to return to try another specialty pie!

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.
