Ran into Pizano's to get out of the rain and we were hungry. For some reason the Christmas decorations were still up in March. They had no tables so we sat at the bar. Service was good but a little in the frigid side compared to the smiles and jokes the bartender shared with others at the bar. Cheese sticks were nothing to write home about and came out on a nondescript white plate haphazardly thrown on. The cheese and sausage deep dish was better than average. The chunks of sausage were sparse but flavorful and fortunately it wasn't drowned in a bit too sweet tomato sauce. Beers were cold and tasty.
We got two baskets of 10pc Buffalo wings, good crispy with nice flavor of heat. Two thin crust pizzas, that once cooled down good flavor, felt like it was missing something… nothing crazy with pizza, yet the feel of the place was welcoming and service was great. Server name was Joe that has worked in the pizza place for over 30 years very nice and funny.
We are long-time Chicago pizza fans...have had all the "usual suspects." A friend who still lives locally recommended we try Pizano's, as we were staying next door at the Chicago Athletic Association. Sat at the bar on a COLD Chicago evening, and we really enjoyed our meal. Our server, Yolanda, made the whole experience. Super fun, very attentive, made great recommendations. We had the chopped salad with chicken (outstanding house Italian dressing) and a deep-dish with several toppings--both great choices. The house chianti is good, as well. Had the pleasure of buying dinner for the Chicago Police officers seated nearby. Thanks for a great evening, Yolanda! We will be back.
The bartender was SO pleasant. Everytime someone ordered or requested something it was answered with "Absolutely " and a slight head nod. ❤. I loved it. Food was definitely good. Wings were banging. Salad was fresh. Pasta on point...
This small pizza spot has some of the freshest toppings I've had on pizza in a place like Ktown. The crust is a little on the thinner side but still has a really nice bite to it. Their pizza is also not very salty which is a huge plus for me because you can taste the freshness of the ingredients more this way. Prices are very reasonable and pick up is quick, about 20 minutes. The only downside is that parking is difficult and there isn't very much street parking available..be prepared to park in a red zone, put your blinkers on, and pay for your pizza and run back.
