Pizza Restaurants in Illinois

Our guide to pizza restaurants in Illinois

Pizza is one of America’s most popular meals and comes in strongly regional styles: thin, foldable New York slices; deep-dish and tavern-style thin crust in Chicago; square, crispy-edged Detroit pies; coal-fired New Haven “apizza”; and Neapolitan pies baked in a wood-fired oven in about 90 seconds. Most pizzerias offer dine-in, takeout and delivery, and many sell by the slice.

Beyond pizza, a typical menu includes calzones, stromboli, garlic knots, wings, salads, subs and pasta. Independent pizzerias often have house specialties worth asking about – a white pie, a grandma pie or a seasonal topping that never makes it onto the printed menu.
