Pizano's Pizza & Pasta: Discover the Heart of Italian Cuisine in Chicago

When in Chi-Town, you gotta have a deep dish pizza.. found this joint and OMG, what an amazing experience. The bartender was awesome and great at his craft (suggested I try the giardineria) and was quick to fill me drink... I had a small Deep Dish that was crazy good. Service, drinks and food were all amazing!! Classic ambiance of an Italian joint too!! Loved everything!!

Pizano's is SOOO good! We got the bbq chicken chopped salad and a sausage mushroom and onion pizza well done. The pizza was so crispy and delicious with the perfect amount of sauce. This locations is so cute as well. It has Chicago sports memorabilia all over the walls. The food came out quick and hot and the server was very attentive. I can't wait to come back again soon.

This place is amazing! Andrew is an outstanding bartender. The cocktails were spectacular. The Calamari fresh and crispy. The pizzas were DIVINE!!!! What a wonderfully warm restaurant.

I came here TWICE in my four day Chicago trip, that's how much I loved it. Service both times was reasonable, given that it takes a little while for deep dish pizzas to cook. The first time I went I was solo, and I sat at the bar. The bartender made friendly conversation and even made me a mocktail, since I didn't want to drink for the business part of my trip. It was a tropical type drink and so yummy! Both times I came, I got a medium pizza. The first time, I just wanted to have leftovers. It was the Hawaiian pizza and it was pretty decent. I will say though, the pineapple doesn't caramelize like it would on a regular pizza, so while I did like it, Hawaiian just probably isn't the ideal pizza topping for a Chicago deep dish. The second time I was with my partner and we split the sausage and cheese pizza. It was just right for the two of us! The pizza isn't excessively doughy and the crust gets nicely browned and has a lovely flavor. Ambiance wise, I remember it being pretty standard for a casual Italian type restaurant. I believe there's only 4 locations in Chicago for this restaurant, which helps it feel very authentic to Chicago. I give it five stars and two thumbs up!

I honestly never heard of Pizano's. I was staying at the Hyatt and we were craving pizza. Pizano's is walking distance from the hotel, so we went there. I was really impressed with their deep dish. I loved that their crust was nice and crunchy. I usually ask for a well done crust when I go to other deep dish pizza restaurants, but here you don't need to. I would say their crust needs a little more flavor, but overall it was really good. We didn't sit inside, but it looks like it's really big inside and would be good for groups. They had a long list of pickup orders, so it must be popular.

I frequent this location, for convenience of parking and proximity! Upon my arrival today! I was introduced to the bar by the seating staff! In which from the moment I met Brian my bartender (I don't drink) we had a great time! He was very personable and very efficient helpful and educated with the menu! I couldn't ask for a better server! Pizano's you have a good one here! And please don't change the recipe for the Rudy Cookie! It's my #1 Dessert on the Menu! Again! Brian even plated my pizza and took finishing, he even boxed it up! Talk about AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE! You can't PAY FOR THIS! (Well a GREAT TIP OF COURSE)

Most of my friends hate on deep dish, but I love it. In fact, whenever I visit my friends in Chicago, none of my local friends want to have deep dish. So, recently, I was in Chicago for a conference and decided to take things into my own hands and get some of that pizza I'd been longing for. And, I'm surely glad I did because Pizaon's delivered up exactly what I had been longing for!! I was dining alone on this night, so I sat at the bar. I forget what day of the week it was, but I quickly learned it was half-priced wine bottle night. So, I started with a yummy Italian wine the bartender suggested. And things were off to a good start! Next up, I ordered their house salad. It was simple but super tasty!! Sometimes simple is just what the doctor ordered! Finally, for the star of the show, I ordered a personal-sized deep dish pizza. I got the sausage and cheese one but added mushrooms, onions, and green peppers! Oh, and the bartender suggested I add butter to the crust! Who knew that was a thing??!! But everything was spectacular, and I was very pleased! If you are in town and jonesing for some deep dish, try this place out. You'll be glad you did!!!

We tried going to a different spot near by (Fatpour) but there was an hour wait and we had a flight to catch. They recommended this place. There was no wait here. My first Chicago thin crust pizza. I really liked it. The crust must of had cheese in it because it was so crispy and the crust curled up a little on the side. I loved that the cheese and sauce went all the way to the end. Also you could eat any piece with your hands. No soggy pizza. Even those center pieces were sturdy. They use paper table clothes on top of the checkered ones. They didn't cut it big enough and there was crumbs and sauce from the prior customers.

This place is pretty darn good. Four of us were in town for a conference and this place is in immediate walking distance. It is clean? Not too loud, good Chicago sports memorabilia on the walls. The server and waitress were friendly. Good selection of beer. I had a local IPA. It was cold and citrusy! We had the salad, fried pasta, and deep dish pizza. They were good. Nice place. Drop in.
