Pizza-ria is a great little spot to grab some pizza slices quickly.  I work close to this place and it is VERY convenient for me to get a slice of cheese pizza when I have an urge.  The staff is very friendly and they usually are laughing to re-runs of punk'd playing on the flat screens.  By the way, the pizza isn't all that bad either for it to be a fast food type of joint.

This place is great.  I usually stop by after I swing by Loopy Yarns or if I get hungry when I'm at the library up the street.  It's very fairly priced and the pizza is good, if not excellent.  The only time I didn't like it was when I got the Malibu--it uses ranch dressing instead of pizza sauce and felt more like eating a pizza shaped piece of cheesy garlic bread.  Everything else, though, has been really good.  

Customer service is always awesome.  The last time I was there, a guy who I assume to be the manager actually checked in on my friends and I to see how we were doing.  At a fast food place!  You get your pizza quick, the atmosphere is pretty nice and it's usually not too busy.  Definitely a win.

Formerly known as "Got Pizza". According to my girlfriend, the old place was very overpriced and not that great. Pizza-Ria on the other hand is lovely.

Service is very quick and friendly. While this is definitely a fast-food pizza kind of place, it doesn't taste like it. It's probably the best chain-restaurant pizza I've eaten. The barbecue chicken pizza is delicious, I get a slice of that almost every time I'm there. The fresh cilantro the use on it is awesome.

The most important parts of a good pizza for me are the crust and the cheese. I can always tell when a pizza has been made with cheap cheese. And there's no excuse for soggy or weak crusts. Pizza-Ria uses good quality ingredients.

I can't think of any downsides to this place. The food is great, the prices are good, and they don't cheat you on size when you get a slice.  They even have an e-mail list you can join to get a coupon for a free slice.

Yes! Absolutely great pizza place for take out and quick bite to eat on your way to Loopy Yarns :)  Great pizza.  You order a slice and you get two (or mine was a mistake).

So I've done this review before but apparently there has been a name change. I reviewed it when it was still called Got Pizza.

So here's the new review:

1. Same Staff

2. Same Menu

3. Same Decor

4. SAME PLACE

Nothing has changed but the name and I'm still a happy customer!

A member of the Pizza-Ria franchise. I wrote it off for being corporate but then discovered that 9 out 10 Chicago pizzerias don't understand that regular pan pizza (not deep dish) should be thin crust. I come from New England, where thin New York style is more prevalent. Too many places here make a thick doughy slice. This place makes individual thin-crust well.
