Our Top Pick
Bob's Pizza
Beer-in-the-dough “Pilsen-style” crust with a distinctive puffy edge.

Notable Picks

$$ Heart of Chicago
A Pilsen counter-service shop built around its signature “Pilsen-style” crust—foldable like New York, but with a puffed, bubbly edge that eats closer to a hybrid of styles. It’s strongest when you commit to one specialty pie and let the dough do the talking, especially on higher-contrast combinations that show off the bake.
Must-Try Dishes: Pickle Pizza, Korean BBQ Chicken Pizza, Spinach Pesto & Stracciatella Pizza
What makes it special: Beer-in-the-dough “Pilsen-style” crust with a distinctive puffy edge.
$$ Bridgeport
A slice-forward stop built around huge New York–style wedges from extra-large pies, designed for fast, no-drama pizza runs. The best move is to go signature-first, then add one classic slice so you can compare topping balance versus pure cheese-and-crust.
Must-Try Dishes: Cowabunga Special Slice, Whole 20-inch Cheese Pizza, Gluten-Free Build-Your-Own (10-inch)
What makes it special: Extra-large NY-style pies with true slice-shop energy.
$$$$ Heart of Chicago
A pizza-and-coffee room that leans tavern-style and pan pizzas with a modern topping sensibility, built for casual dine-in or takeout. It hits best when you pick one tavern-style pie for crisp bite, then add a pan slice for contrast in chew and caramelization.
Must-Try Dishes: Tavern-Style Pizza (longanisa + giardiniera), Hot Pepperoni Pan Pizza, Calzone
What makes it special: Tavern and pan pizzas in a coffee-cafe format that actually works.

Worthy Picks

$ Pilsen
A newer, takeout-leaning pizza stop that’s all about straightforward execution and strong slice satisfaction without the extra theater. Go pepperoni-first, then add one topping-heavy slice to see how the crust holds under load.
Must-Try Dishes: Pepperoni Slice, Sausage Pizza, Giardiniera Pizza
What makes it special: New-school, no-frills pizza built for fast repeatable wins.
$ Pilsen
A neighborhood Little Village/Pilsen-area standby built for value-driven slices and quick, filling meals rather than a long sit-down. It’s best as a simple combo run: grab one slice fresh from the counter, add one classic topping slice, and keep it moving.
Must-Try Dishes: Cheese Slice, Sausage Slice, Pepperoni Slice
What makes it special: Slice-and-go value with a neighborhood regulars backbone.
$ Little Village
A Little Village staple that plays best as a straightforward, value-leaning pizza stop with a loyal neighborhood following. Order simplest here—one classic topping pie or slices—so the seasoning and bake stay the focus.
Must-Try Dishes: Pepperoni Pizza, Sausage Pizza, Cheese Slice
What makes it special: Neighborhood pizza institution that prioritizes value and speed.

A classic Pilsen slice counter where the appeal is late-night availability and budget pricing more than artisanal technique. The smartest order is a simple slice set—cheese plus one topping—so you get the best chance at a clean, hot reheat and proper melt.
Must-Try Dishes: Cheese Slice, Pepperoni Slice, Sausage Slice
What makes it special: Old-school Pilsen slice shop built for late-night cheap eats.
