Great pizza and service.
There was a long wait which was to be expected. But they let you order your pizza when they put your name down for a table. Huge plus. Once we were seated we only had to wait about 10 minutes for our pizza. Otherwise it would have taken another 45 minutes.
After being in the city and overwhelmed by the choices of places to go to eat, we hailed some cops and asked them. They recommended Pizano's and it was a great choice. Our waiter was attentive and nice.
The only drawback was that the bartender didn't know how to make a Sidecar. So I opted for a Blood Orange Martini that they were advertising. The martini was good but I wish they could have made the drink I originally ordered.
I really wanted to give this place a 4 but the $5.50 I paid for a beer has made me lower my stars...
We had a thin crust cheese (a staple pizza if you will) and it was really great. Interesting taste, not something I've really had before but if I had to compare, it was probably most similar to Lou Malnatis thin crust.
Cozy atmosphere off the beaten path in the gold coast. I nice place to hole up and forget about winter.
Their thin crust is awesome. I will rate their thin crust slightly better than Lou Malnati's. I never thought I would find a pizza better than Lou's. I feel less traitorous though because Pizano's is also in the Malnati family.
I think Lou Malnati's deep dish is slightly better though. One difference is that Pizano's has chunks of sausage in the deep dish vs. a huge sausage patty that you would find at Lou Malnati's.
I will get thin crust from to satisfy cravings. For deep dish cravings, I still will have to go to lou's.
Mediocre at best. I was visiting Chicago after a decade, but had spent 4 happy college years here visiting Giordano's, Gino's East, and Carmen's (Evanston).
When I returned, I did some research, and found several good reviews of Pizano's. My husband and I decided to try it out. Maybe it was my fond memories of Chicago Deep Dish, and maybe it was my high expectation. Maybe it was just Pizanos? I was not too happy...
After waiting a few minutes for service, we ordered a lackluster Caesar Salad, and a small deep dish pizza- the tomato, garlic, and basil. The salad came with some unremarkable and cold bread. The salad was about what I would expect out of a bag of Dole prepared salad. I eagerly awaited the pizza... I didn't go there for the salad in the first place.
I did not particularly like the way Pizano's does deep dish- I was expecting something deeper, maybe with a double crust. However, that is that is not their fault. But...the crispy crust was a little too crispy, and the cheese was hard and chewy, not soft and melty. I had a tough time cutting with my butter knife, and eventually had to switch to my fingers. I will say that the he tomato, basil, and garlic topping was tasty, however.
Not worth the once in ten years experience, and not worth the calories, either. Next time, I will stick to Giordano's.
Something about a Malnati jr who opened up this place with a Malnati's recipe. Let me assure you - the taste of the Pizano crust (whether thin or deep dish) is almost indistinguishable from Lou Malnati's. The only noticeable difference is that the Pizano deep dish is half as thick! Boo! No bueno. No layer of sausage in every bite and majorly skimping on the tomato sauce, which is my favorite thing at Malnati's - the chunky tomato sauce. The perfect pizza party would be Pizano's thin crust , Lou Malnati's deep dish, and beer!
You can place your pizza order before you're seated. Only problem I had was the restaurant being way too hot and stuffy!
On my third straight night of deep-dish pizza, I guess I must have been weary from stuffing myself, because I did not enjoy this place as much as Giordano's nor Ginos East. That's not to say I didn't like it, because it was super delicious. but after setting the bar so high, Pizano's came up just a bit short.
So we got a small deep dish, half Rudy's Special (Cheese, Sausage, Mushroom, Onion, & Green Pepper) and half Mark's Special (Sliced Tomatoes, Basil, and Fresh Garlic). The first thing I noticed was that there was not as much cheese in the pizza as other places. There was an abundance of sauce and toppings, however. The stuff just didn't melt off the pizza the way I had hoped. The crust really made up for that because it was very tasty. The extra butter on the crust made a world of a difference because it made you really want to eat the crust, unlike at other pizza places that will have you avoiding the crust all together.
The restaurant itself was a fun place, their walls were covered in Chicago memorabilia and were playing Frank Sinatra hits (had one song about Chicago) the whole dinner. There were also huge lcds along the ceilings above the bar so you can catch the game, so that was a nice touch. It is a smaller restauarant, so I can see it getting crowded at times, but we were lucky to have been seated immediately.
Overall, it's a decent substitute for when you need deep dish pizza and don't want to wait in line at the other places, or would like to watch a game while you eat. I hear the pasta is worth a try so I'd like to try that next time I come to town.
Man, THIS is pizza. I ordered the small "'Hey Hey' Jack Brickhouse Special" for myself, thinking, "hey, it's ONLY a 10" pie, right? That's a snack for a big guy like me." Well I'm embarrassed to say that I couldn't finish the whole thing. (To be fair, the Pizano's website indicates this pizza serves 2.) Too many years living in the land of the thin crust, I guess.
Delicious pizza, and I'm considering having some shipped to my home in Boston.
Anyone that has gone out to eat with me knows how particular I am about my food. Until the last year I hadn't tried many different types of food and if I like something I usually stick with it and order it again and again. Well, I've been eating plain cheese pizza forever. I honestly never thought I'd want to try anything else, but, well, I'm getting ahead of myself.
After an afternoon at the museum, a friend brought me to this fine establishment for a late lunch. The place was mostly empty when we arrived, but then it was a Wednesday at about 3pm. My eating companion was in dire need of some greasy sustenance to cure the hangover that he was in the death grip of. Our waiter was prompt, engaging, and didn't seem to mind when my companion brought in his own coke. He found the soda pop to taste odd. I didn't really notice, but he disliked the taste so much he actually went out and grabbed a coke from somewhere else and poured it in his cup.
Anywho...as my companion was beginning to sweat out all the liquor from the night before we started with the fried calamari. I say we, but really, I mean him. I don't eat seafood of any kind. However, it did seem to help add a bit of color back to the old man.
We ordered a half cheese and half Mark's Special (Sliced Tomatoes, Basil, and Fresh Garlic) with pepperoni on buttercrust. Well, whenever you order a half and half pizza some of one side inevitably ends up on the other. As such, my first few slices had the delicious flavor of garlic and basil without the grossness of pepperoni. A whole new world of pizza was opened to me in that moment. I cannot stress enough how big of a deal this is for an avid cheese pizza lover such as myself. I am a pizza convert, wholly transformed and enlightened. Praise Mozzarella!
Oh, and I can't forget about the crust. It was crunchy on the bottom, soft on the top, mouthwatering fantastic taste all around.
Overall, the place is a treat. It has photographs covering the walls, an Italian gentleman with a contagious laugh and a ring on this thumb, and a warm feel. I'd like to go back...so I will.
Got a recommendation to try this place out and decided to go with my brother in-law and my fiance. All i can say is - i found my deep dish place in Chicago. They serve one awesome deep dish pizza. We had the Brickhouse Special (sausage and mushrooms). The sausage was awesome, the cheese was great and the sauce was good. Crust was what you would expect for a deep dish pizza.
Ourt waiter was friendly, efficient and spot on in every aspect - try this place you will like it!
So Ive heard all the talk about how this is the best pizza in Chicago, etc. Honestly, EVERYONE thinks the one place they go to is the best pizza. Im not here to dispute those claims. All Im saying is this:
I went to Pizanos last night because I read about all these claims. I wanted to try deep dish and the (legendary) thin crust, so we ordered both (I like to live very dangerously). The service was great and we only waited 5 minutes for a table. The pizza was very good. We got pepperoni on the deep dish and one of the specials on the thin.
Maybe it was all the hype, Im not sure. Honestly, I think Lou Malnatis was better. It was good and I would go back, but my quest for the perfect pizza must continue. This is not the holy grail.
On to Pequods next I guess...
This place is top notch. My wife and I are always going back and forth between this place and Pequods as contenders for our favorite pizza in the city.
Pizanos definitely wins best cheese! Really good stuff. I've only had the pan pizza, but from what I understand the thin crust is quite excellent as well.
I definitely prefer this location. I've actually been to all three, but the other two feel a bit like chain franchises. They are still good, but don't have the atmosphere of this original location.
Oh yeah and they have some devilish desserts! They do the thing where they bake a cookie in the bottom of a pan and put ice cream on top of it. Great stuff. I think there are even three different varieties.
Anyway, don't take my word for it, try it for yourself!
Best thin crust pizza in Chicago- hands down! I love it. I would give the place 5 stars but they have screwed up my delivery more than once and even on a slow night it takes like 90 minutes to get a pizza. However it's worth the weight.
After a disappointing deep dish experience at Pizzeria Due, the husband and I decided to try our stomachs at the thin crust. Having heard this place was not only home of "the best thin crust pizza" but also had Oprah's stamp of approval, it seemed like a no brainer...
...until we ordered the thin crust pizza, took one bite, and realized we were eating the same tasteless (albeit very crisp) crust reminiscent of Due!
Our waitress was very nice.
I can only comment on their thin crust pizza since that's all I've had. However, the thin crust pizza may be a reflection on the rest of the food.
Pizza was not good. Won't be ordering from them again.
Thin Crust! legit. A great old time feel place. Late night dining with the big front doors open. We had sausage and peppers and pizza and it was all very good. A couple old styles to wash it all down and you're good to go.
So close yet so far. I've been looking for good east coast style pizza and Pizano's was recommended highly.
The service was sweet and patient. However our pizza took forever to come. The restaurant wasn't eventcrowded.
Our round pepperoni pizza finally arrived, but it was cut into squares. Why do the pizza shops here do that? Anywho, the sauce, cheese and pepperoni were good. The crust on the other hand had a texture similar to a Ritz first and then a graham cracker. Let me explain: at first bite, my top teeth easily break through the Ritz but then have a bit of trouble getting through the graham. The crust is also really dry with lots of nooks and crannies - you know where this is going.
Would I go there again? The pizza is pricey and is adequate...so until I find something better, I may just have to.
After a day at Joe's sports bar, we decided to avoid crowds and pick up some take out from Pizano's to enjoy in a more mellow environment. Our mistake was not double checking the order before leaving because it was screwed up and we didn't want to go back to right the wrong or deal. I had the Italian hot beef w gardenaria, and it was supposed to have melted mozz, but it didn't. Big bummer. Buddy had the meatball parmesan sub. We went halves and shared in the mistake. It was good, but I've had better. The roll was mad soggy. I did like the jous that came with the beef sandwich and wished there was more. If I went again, I'd prob eat there instead of take out or delivery, the fries were pretty soggy too.
I actually think I may have found a pizza place I like in Chicago! We were recommended by a friend to check this place out so we did finally and it was awesome! We decided to pick up our order since their delivery time was over 2 hours, now I know why b/c when you go in it's crazy busy and it's a tiny place, they seemed a little un-organized with their ordering process but it was worth the wait. We had a drink at the bar with all the regulars it appeared and then our food was hot and ready to take home. The thin crust pizza, garlic cheese bread, cheese sticks and bruschetta all AMAZING! Yes, we are pigs in our family ;) I will be sure to try this place again and I'm relieved that we can actually order pizza I like now.
I might be one of the only people who prefers Pizano's deep dish to their thin crust. The deep dish Rudy's Special was not as bready, cheesy, or as filling as Giordano's/Uno's/Gino's but the crust was crunchier and more delicate. I thought it was good and didn't feel gross after eating more than a slice. The sausage on it was tasty as well. Personally, I thought Pizano's deep dish was better than the pizza trifecta mentioned above because at least I could eat more of it and taste more than bread and cheese.
After all the rave reviews about the thin crust, I was kind of disappointed to be served what my friend called "school pizza" - as in, the pizza they serve in public schools. Our Mark's Special was cut into little squares, and the taste was sort of bland. We could barely taste the basil and fresh tomato and the pizza needed plenty of chili pepper to make it more palatable. That said, the crust was quite crunchy and good. It might have been better had there been meat on it to spice it up.
Overall, it's an ok pizza that will satisfy deep dishers and thin crusters. Wait is long (even on weeknights) but they allow you to put in your order while you wait, so the pizza's ready for you upon seating.
It was my first time in Chicago, so naturally I'd want to try out their famous deep dish pizza. I can't remember which one we ordered and apparently, it wasn't very memorable. I personally love thin crust pizza, maybe we should've ordered that in lieu of the ever-popular Chicago deep dish pizza. Anyway, the flavor of the pizza was good (much better when hot), but by the time I got to my second slice, it was already cold.
And luckily for us, when we were waiting to get seated (on a Monday night @ 9pm), we saw a steaming hot plate of buffalo wings being delivered to a table of patrons sitting nearby...so of course, we ordered some buffalo wings, which I'm glad we did because it added some excitement to the meal.
Overall, I thought the atmosphere was casual and cozy, servers were nice, and the food was about average.
PS...Don't forget to pre-order your pizza while you wait for a table, it nearly took an hour for ours!
Sat at the bar and had a a-ok thin crust pizza. The bartender was friendly and got my food up in a flash. Beer was cold and ESPN on the tube.
Based on the reviews, we might have just had an off experience. We showed up at 9:15 on a Friday night and there was a wait list, so we got on it and were handed a buzzer and said it would be about 5-10 minutes. After about 20 minutes we notice that people are walking into the restaurant and being seated, so my husband comes up and they realize they stopped checking the list. People make mistakes, but we were hungry and tired, but we can forgive that. They sat us in the basement where there were about a dozen tables, of which only 3 were occupied when we arrived, which is what actually annoyed us about the wait.
The wait service was spotty, and when we were ordering the waitress casually asked marinara for our breadsticks, which we said sure to. After the bill arrived that tiny suggested cup of sauce was $3. It wasn't listed on the menu, and I hate getting stuck like that.
All this stuff can be forgiven if the food rocks, right? We had deep dish, and the crust was bitter, almost like it had some type of cleaning agent in it. EW. Did I say ew? Because I meant ew. Given the wait for our seating and the cook time wait, we just avoided the crust.
I think it was my husband's first real Chicago pizza experience in Chicago, and it pretty much sucked. Fortunately a trip to Giordano's a few days later saved Chicago's pizza reputation.
It took us about an hour to get a table here on a Saturday, mainly because the hostesses and the manager were tripping all over each other with various wait lists and selection procedures for tables. I have no idea how they manage to deal with the crowd on a daily basis without establishing some kind of set procedure for seating guests. Fortunately, you can pre-order your pizza while you wait, so even if you want a deep dish, you don't have to wait another hour at your table while your food is prepared. (Prep time is SLOW here -- you must, must pre-order!) The restaurant space is tiny, so go for a walk or prepare to be jammed in like sardines while you wait for a table. We also found it VERY stuffy and hot where we were seated in the back.
We had the deep dish, which was evidently a mistake based on the rave reviews for the thin crust on Yelp. We had the small size, which was two big pieces for each of us -- definitely enough to be full. It tasted good, but wasn't the mystical "Chicago Pizza Experience" we had heard so much about. I would go back, but definitely would have lower expectations and would try something else.
Our server was absolutely incredible, she was so nice and friendly, always there when u needed her and anticipated your every need, a true gem. There were 3 of us dining on Sunday night. We ordered Mark's special a medium deep dish with tomato, basil, mozzarella and fresh garlic, the menu said it serves 3 which it did but if you've got 3 hungry or really hungry guys I might recommend moving on up to the large. The pizza was great and came out in only 20 minutes. Although the decor was tragic (paper plates with santa on them decorate the walls for christmas, soooo tacky, they obviously need a gay in the family, but with that said personally I could care less about decor as long as there isn't bright direct lighting shining in my face. So I guess this means the only small thing they could improve is if they put the basil on the pie after it was cooked because you lose too much flavor when it goes in the oven.
Yeah.. I know I will get crap for this.. and I know it's a very unChicago thing to say... but I find corn bread crust yucky. I hate cornbread, so don't make a pizza out of it. If you like corn bread (ain't nothing wrong with that), then you should definitely order from Pizano's. I haven't tried the thin crust pizza yet, but the deep dish was below my standards for a yummy treat. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. I also didn't think that the "large" pizza warranted the large moniker. It was more like a medium. For more than 2 people, I'd definitely recommend more than 1 pizza.
I usually annoy my pizza loving friends when attempting to determine topping choices. I forgo mushrooms, onions, and olives, which to my surprise and disgust, tend to be popular options!
Our group decided to order a pizza to share while we waited for a seat to dine-in. It was a crowded Friday night, but we only ended up waiting about 30 minutes or so. Not wanting to nix everyone's favorite toppings altogether, I agreed to onions, green peppers, and sausage on a thin crust. I wasn't hungry, and I wasn't in the mood for pizza.
Let me just say, I've been thinking of it every since. My mouth still waters when I think about ordering it again! The sauce, cheese, thin crust combo and crisp texture are a winning combo. Glad I gave it a try! I'll be ordering it again very soon.
Dear Pizano's,
I like you. Like, like-like you. I am moving away from Chicago, or else I would ask you to be my steady pizza place. But that is silly, right? We are going to live in different states. And long distance relationships never work, do they? We would just be setting ourselves up for failure if we tried, wouldn't we? I mean, if you wanted to give it a try, I would. Oh hell, let's do it. We are strong enough to make it. We can be the exception to the rule, right?
Love,
Dulaney
If youre looking for a trendy place, dont go there.
The first thing you notice is the pics on the walls and the christmas lights.No matter what time of the year that you go.
But, the pizza is amazing! The cheese thin crust is the best I evr had.You gotta wait a little bit but it worth it.Its one of my favorite places in Chicago!
Very long wait for nothing to special pizza. We waited a long time for a table, even longer for our food. The waitress seemed to be miserable. I think their reputation exceeds them a bit, and Im not being snooty about Chicago pizza because I am a new Yorker. I love the stuffed crust pizzas in Chicago and thought we would try a thin crust on our visit this time. The crust was quite yummy but I feel I do a better job myself at home.
Just OK for me...sorry
The best deep dish pizza I've ever had. There are places you go to that change the way you look at certain dishes and this was the place for me when it comes to pizza.
I've had both the deep dish and thin crust they are both equally good, but I prefer the thick crust. You can really taste the corn meal in the crust. There are not a lot of places where I eat the pizza and the crust, but this is one of them. I've always ordered Rudy's special which is cheese, sausage, mushroom, onion, and green pepper. They are always perfectly made and taste great. I highly recommend trying it out.
If you don't feel like eating pizza, the pasta is awesome too. I've had the Pasta a la franco which has a cream sauce. The peas and chicken is what really made this dish pop. I've also tried to bruschetta. Made me realize that its a simple dish, but if you have great ingredients (which they had, the tomatoes seemed fresh) its such a great thing.
I've tried Giadono's and I actually like this place better. I tried going to a couple of other places listed on TripAdvisor, but they were always so packed and had a big line (which Giadono's usually does). At Pizano's I've never had to wait (I've been there on 4 separate occasions). This place is a must.
My husband, his sister and his father and I went to Pizano's this past Saturday and it was YUMMY!!! I would definitely go back there. The thin crust pizza, I believe it was Rudy's pizza...although we replaced the sausage for pepperoni...delicious! I cannot remember our server's name, but she was fantastic!!!
Down to zero.
"Oh the feeling...when you're reeling...you step lightly thinking you're number one...down to zero with a word...leaving...for another one..."
Holy crap, it was zero f*cking degrees Fahrenheit!
Sure, we were cold warriors, the effete actors from LA who SCOFFED, SCOFFED, I tell you, at what was one of the coldest Chicago winters in a generation. And damnit, we were downtown at the Art Institute. My wife, who gets cold IN LA, didn't even have gloves! We fart on you, rest of country who think LA is inhabited by pussies, we FART on you!
But dang, zero? That's cold. And it was windy, the Hawk was coming off Lake Michigan and the radio said that brought it down to 30 below with windchill.
So why, oh why, would we leave the lovely warm confines of the Chicago Art Institute for Deep Dish Pizza?
Because our fellow Angelenos said that Pizano's was better than Lou Malnati's. Lou Malnati's (cue angel music).
We walked in 45 degree angles, as compact as we could be, as little skin showing as possible, the steam on my glasses f*cing freezing ON MY GLASSES! Damnit, Chicago, how can you be so bitter?
It...was...worth...it.
Pizano's is basically a sports bar, TVs tuned to a variety of sports, photos of every Chicago sports team spanning the 20h Century and beyond, and no one in their right mind would expect any food item to be the BEST, no matter what the category.
We got the deep dish, fully aware that our beloved Chicago guides would judge us insane to believe this was better than Lou Malnait's. We got the sausage because we liked sausage. We split the Caesar's salad because you can't sin like this without SOME roughage, right?
The crust.
The crust makes it the best.
Everything else was Lou Malnati-worthy (there's a family connection, I'm told), but the crust...the crispy, buttery, crust, baked to perfection in the cast iron pan...makes it...the best...Chicago...deep...dish...pizzaaaaaa!
What can I say...when it comes to Chicago pizza there are only three options, Uno's Giordano's and Pizano's. What I loved about Pizano's is that it still has the chicago style feel to it but it isn't nearly as heavy as Giordano's. Of the three this is probably my favorite.
Come here if you want a taste of Chicago's pizza but you don't want to feel 200lbs heavier after you've had your meal. I've heard that students can get a lot of guff from the waiters and the owner, so if you look like the artsy type, be a little wary.
I'd go back in a heart beat...but...to be perfectly honest, when I go to Chicago I only go here if I'm having pizza twice...I always start at Giordano's.
September 2003, Pizano's was the site of "She's just not that into you," a one-woman show featuring me. A guy I had been seeing (read booty call) wouldn't stop incessantly calling and texting me so I met him here to nip it in the bud. Here's a tip guys, desperation is an equal-opportunity turn off! All I really remember about Pizano's is them being really cool when said guy made a bit of a scene after I told him buh-bye; in his defense he was pretty overserved at the time.
Anywho, Craig B brilliantly planned a hump day event at Rossi's and we got hungry and ordered a few pizzas from Pizano's. I may be a bit biased since the pizza was free and I was starving, but I think it was pretty damn good. The butter crust was amazing and really hit the spot. The spinach artichoke dip was great too, but I think I'd prefer it served with regular italian bread, not the garlic bread. My only complaint is that I wish they would put the pepperoni on top of the cheese so it's easier to spot for those of us who don't eat it.*
Bottom line: I would definitely have their pizza again and if I happen to be in the neighborhood I promise not to bring any more drama through the door!
* It's entirely possible the boxes were labeled, but after a few drinks who's really paying attention to silly details like that.
I like going out for the occasional pizza (crust, la madia, and bricks are among my favorites), but pizza delivery doesn't really do it for me. But perhaps that's just cause I hadn't tried Pizano's until the other night...
I was celebrating a friend's bday at someone's apt. The hostess got some wine, pizza from pizano's for dinner, and then a cookie cake for dessert. Now, that's a way to celebrate a bday! I had two slices of the vegetarian thin crust pizza and it was absolutely delicious! And just the perfect amount of pizza so I was full, but still had some room for my much beloved cookie cake.
It's not difficult to find good pizza in Chicago, but Pizano's is high on my list. And after the awful winter we've had I may just become a fan of pizza delivery.
Just ordered PIzano's deep dish from grubhub. They were very quick to deliver but should have spent more time on the food. AWFUL. I mean just awful. I don't think I've ever had such a bad slice of pizza anywhere but considering it's Chicago, I would hold it to a different standard.
I ordered from Pizano's based on reviews I've read but cannot honestly say that I would ever order from them again. Just bloody awful.
Best Pizza in Chi Town and that is sayin somthin, huh! Best thin, best deep dish. I drive past a hundred Pizza places on my way to pick up my Pizano's. Oh, by the way, $20 gets a large pie out the front door...try that at UNO.
When I ask for thin crust I want thin crust! Not the sorta thick but could pass for think crust this place serves up! Boo! Hiss! And yeah when I order a side salad with ranch dressing and I tell you I am at a bar that doesn't serve food please send me the ranch dressing and a fork! Is that too much to ask?
So on a snow night and stuck at a bar I received a not so thin crust pizza with a salad that had no ranch dressing or a fork to eat it with. Why three stars you ask? Because they quoted me a time of 1 hour and 25 minutes. It took them less than an hour.
I was in chicago for a job interview, staying at the Sofitel Chicago Water Tower. After the interview I had time for one last meal in the city before checking out heading to O'hare. I asked the concierge if he could recommend somewhere to get a good chicago style pizza. I've been living in texas for the past 2 years and we have lots of great food in austin, but the pizza leaves something to be desired. When it comes to pizza I've been around the block a bit (I grew up North of Boston in MA, went to school @ RPI in Troy,NY).
Pizano's absolutely delivered. I was there on a monday afternoon just after 2 o'clock for lunch so it was quiet. I had no idea it was on Oprah until I read it on the menu. Hostess was friendly, I ended up sitting at the bar and ordered a local beer (which was excellent if i could only remember the name). Ordered a 'rudy's special' and they told me it would be 30 minutes; i had expected this because if you want to cook a deep dish any faster than that... you're probably cheating. Passed the time with interesting conversation with the bartender and the hostess (it was really empty).
When the pizza arrived it was fantastic and well worth the wait. If you wanted somthing to pick up and take on the run, not the place. This was a definate knife and forker, but man was it good. I'll def be back for my first meal in the city since it turns out I got the job :-)
boxed up the leftovers for later and without reheating it was probably the best cold pizza i've ever had.
Pizano's was really good... We ordered the artichoke dip, which was very good because they don't service with cheap, gross, stale chips, but with fresh toasted bread.
The pizza was 4 pieces, but by the time we got to the 4th piece we were full. I don't know if I'd go all the way out to the location from Roger's Park, but if your going to the pier or Michigan Ave it can't be missed.
