Chicago, IL
Best Pizza in Chicago.
Harry's top 10 pizza spots in Chicago score 82–90 on the Harry Score. One carries critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$.
Deep dish is the postcard. Tavern-style is the pizza. Thin, cracker-crisp, cut into squares so a bar could keep serving rounds — that's what Chicago actually eats on a Tuesday, not the forty-minute-bake tourist slab invented at Pizzeria Uno. Harry judges a pizza by the char on the edge and whether the sausage is fennel-heavy and crumbled to the rim, not by how many inches deep the cheese goes. A good tavern pie should snap, not fold. Skip the deep-dish line downtown; the real test is a neighborhood bar.
