It's Worth Booking Weeks Ahead for This West Town Pizzeria
"Pizz'Amici feels lived-in - a cozy, dimly lit space where the crowd buzzes with enthusiasm for pizza. It sets the new standard for tavern-style pies, with an impressive cracker-thin crust that's the perfect base for Chicago-favorite toppings like fennel sausage, Italian beef, and giardiniera. The Caesar salad makes for a strong opening move, featuring a crunchy lettuce mix tossed in house dressing and topped with breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and whole white anchovies."
"The Italian American classic sausage and peppers is the standout antipasti. Four snappy, peppery links sit atop roasted green peppers, onions, and potatoes. Hearty enough to be its own meal, it's nearly impossible to not eat more than one or two pieces of sausage, but try to resist because pizza is on the horizon. The 14-inch tavern pizzas are the undeniable stars of the menu. There are no preset options; build your own pie exactly how you like it."
Pizz'Amici provides a lived-in, cozy, dimly lit dining room with lively music and bustling conversation. The kitchen focuses on 14-inch tavern-style pizzas with cracker-thin crusts designed to showcase Chicago-favorite toppings such as fennel sausage, Italian beef, and hot giardiniera. Antipasti include a crunchy Caesar with house dressing, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and whole white anchovies, plus a standout sausage and peppers plate featuring snappy links with roasted peppers, onions, and potatoes. The small dining room seats about 30 with eight bar seats; reservations often need booking weeks ahead, and walk-ins should arrive at opening to avoid waits.
