Vito & Nick's Pizzeria

Vito & Nick’s Pizzeria is hands down the best thin-crust cheese pizza I’ve ever had. The crust was perfectly crisp and full of flavor, and it’s the kind of pizza that really stands out. Service was great, the staff made us feel welcome, and the prices were very reasonable. Just a heads-up—it’s cash only, but for pizza this good, it’s absolutely worth it.

Had to come try this Chicago institution while we’re in town and it didn’t disappoint! We had the large sausage pizza with egg, a salad with the creamy garlic, and the cheesy garlic bread and it was all delicious! The only part they sucked was we were so excited to try the pizza that we bit into it right away and burned our tongues haha rookie move! but 10/10 experience and ambience for sure

Vito & Nick’s was a great choice for trying Chicago tavern style pizza, and just great pizza in general. After a short wait we got a table, and I love the basic decor of the place; I don’t think it’s changed in years, and it doesn’t need to. We ordered some Old Style and cheese garlic bread while waiting on our pizza, and it was a good appetizer. The pizza we ordered was a large sausage pizza with additions of onions, mushrooms, and green olives. It was one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time, and made for a wonderful dinner. I can see why this place is getting ready to celebrate its 105th anniversary. I hope they have many more to come.

I'm shocked this restaurant does not have five stars. Some of these people who left less than five stars and also some nasty comments are not worthy of a 105 year old Chicago institution. The pizza is a perfect game at Rate Field on a hot July day. Get an old style, which, let's be real, is pizzas soulmate, or if you aren't into alcoholic beverages, get a cold RC cola and enjoy this masterpiece of a pie!!

Vito & Nick's isn't just a pizzeria; it's a Chicago institution, and for good reason. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a no-frills, classic atmosphere that screams tradition. But let's get to the real star of the show: the pizza. Their thin-crust tavern-style pizza is, simply put, perfection. The crust achieves that coveted balance of being both incredibly crispy and yet having a satisfying chew. It's sturdy enough to hold up to the generous toppings without being cracker-like or flimsy. The sauce is clearly homemade, with a bright, tangy flavor that complements the cheese and other ingredients beautifully. Speaking of toppings, Vito & Nick's doesn't skimp. Whether you opt for their classic sausage, a medley of vegetables, or something more adventurous, the quality is evident. The ingredients taste fresh and are always applied with a balanced hand, ensuring every bite is flavorful. Beyond the exceptional pizza, the service is friendly and efficient, adding to the overall welcoming vibe. While the decor might be dated to some, it's part of the charm and history of this beloved spot. If you're looking for an authentic taste of Chicago's tavern-style pizza, look no further than Vito & Nick's. It's a place that has stood the test of time, consistently delivering a top-notch pizza experience that keeps locals and visitors coming back for more. Don't expect anything fancy, just honest-to-goodness delicious pizza made with care and tradition. Highly recommended!

I have been waiting for years to come here. I had spent time in Chicago before. I have tried all of the deep dish spots. The best is Piquads in my humble opinion. But the best pizza in Chicago is Vito and Nick's Pizzeria. Everything about the place is inviting. I would describe it as a neighborhood bar (in the best way). I was there with a colleague who grew up in the south side of Chicago but had never visited. I had built up the experience for days before we visited; and they exceeded our expectations. The staff was welcoming and helpful. For those who don't know they are the king and most likely the inventor of the "tavern style Chicago pie". We ordered calamari and a large pie with sausage on the entire pie. We asked for half to have hot giardienara and onions. The pie came out without the Sausage. The dudes in the back forgot the sausage. The awesome woman running the show apologized and made a second pie for us. We, of course, tried our best to eat both. For the trouble she comped me and Old Style pint. My colleague had pizza to take home to his family. I cannot wait to go back. This is a perfect gem of a place. They have multiple generations working there. Check it out. You will be glad that you did. PS I have been thinking about the pizza ever since. I probably cannot recreate it at home. I will need to find my way back.

When people call this some of the best pizza in Chicago, they’re not exaggerating. From the moment you walk in, you feel the history and character of a true old-school pizzeria, where all the attention is on serving incredible pies. This is Chicago thin-crust at its best — perfectly crisp, loaded with flavor, and made the traditional way. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and the service is just as good as the food. A must-visit for pizza lovers.

most definitely the best pizza I’ve ever had in the Chicagoland area. It is perfectly seasoned and I got the sausage 14 inch. It was delicious and filling for two people. Service is great and the restaurant is very well air-conditioned. truly a fine dining establishment.
