This joint has seen its popularity rise thanks to its stuffed pizzas, including Art’s Southwestern (barbecue, ground beef, onion, bacon), and Art’s Hawaiian (pineapple, Canadian bacon, green pepper). Read more

Stuffed Spinach Pie: The golden crust filled with a stunning amount of mozzarella and toppings, all topped with a rich tomato sauce brings a thrill that makes the typical 45-minute wait well worth it

You can order a whole pie there or have it delivered, but what sets them apart are the ready-to-serve, by the slice options. All slices, pan or stuffed, are very affordable. Read more

My favorite pizza by the slice place in Chicago. Whole pies are decent but if you are only looking for a quick meal, their slices will do the job.

Another great place for awesome pizza. A variety of slices to choose from only for 4bucks. Daily specials are tasty and cheap!! Love this place!

Unlike New York slices, which make for good snacks, a stuffed slice at the Art of Pizza will likely fill you up, especially if you get some sausage on it.

Great slices anytime! Big selection, too. Stuffed is a big winner but I also LOVE the cheesy thin crust..

An exceptionally sturdy crust, crispy on the bottom and sides but possessing a wonderfully chewy interior. Eating it also doesn't require a knife and fork. Read more

Holy pizza noms! Totes get their special pan or stuffed pizza. It is so good. Might stay clear of the salads though - nothing special.

Another great pizza place among all the various chain deep dish places. This has some of the best deep dish I've had in Chicago, definitely recommended

Most amazing pizza I've ever had. Stuffed mushroom and spinach is my personal favorite, and the employees were excellent and took great care of us

If you don't eat meat or just feelin GREEN, try the spinach/mushroom stuffed Pizza! Slice only 3.75 and its a meal!
Sheryl GouldSeptember 3, 2012
Best Chicago-style pizza I've ever had - the spinach & mushroom was to die for! Friendly & helpful staff. Definately a repeat!
Lenny GalloApril 30, 2016
I don't know who is voting this place number one, but it was just okay. It felt like a rip-off of Giordanos and was very disappointing.

The cheese by itself is an experience. Sauce is a perfect blend of sweet and herby. Why go anywhere else?

If you don't eat meat or just want to feel GREEN, try the Spinach/Mushroom stuffed Pizza. Best in Midwest!
Linda FelterSeptember 6, 2013
Our go-to for delivery. Seriously can't go wrong with the thin, pan, or stuffed. Delish!
Joshua MartinezNovember 28, 2013

After more than 15 years eating there...I have to say, there is not better guilty pleasure! I have to hit AOP every time I come back home to tha Chi!
Noah ManionApril 18, 2016
Eh, so-so Italian beef with kind of crappy pizza. Not the worst, but far from the best.

Amazing deep dish slices always on deck, is all you need to know.
Emily DSeptember 10, 2011
Seriously some of the thickest, most wonderful Chicago style pizza. The thicker the better at this place! Yummm.

For takeout, order 45+ minutes ahead. Some pizzas come with 2 liter soda, but you have to ask for it.
kate readerOctober 17, 2014
Killer pizza by the slice! Super friendly staff!
WineStyles BelmontApril 1, 2012
Perfect Pairing: Fume Blanc, Soave, Chinon, Chianti, Pale Ale, Amber Lager

Best deep dish in Chicago. It's like if SNK made pizza instead of fighting games.
Emily ChenJuly 13, 2015
Eating this deep dish slice felt like eating a pizza-steak. Oof!
Yolanda HamptonNovember 18, 2016
Pizza had to much dough for me

It was good for getting a quick slice.

Great place to take friends if your looking for standard Italian fare. Good for small parties as well.

My favorite is the jalapeño and sausage pizza.
Allan MarshallFebruary 12, 2017
Dunno why, but I always thought they were overrated. Try Chicago's Pizza east of here, or go Lou Malnati's at Wrightwood/Lincoln or Montrose/Lincoln. And Piece in Wicker Park is great 4 thin crust!
ZackscitylifeSeptember 16, 2011
Great Slices always available. No waiting at lunch
Megan BergMarch 30, 2012

Time out from beer, it's pizza time. 🙌
Rémy Thenot-SiegelFebruary 18, 2010
Get the pan Art's Special, even if you don't like pan. It's excellent.
Paul KimMarch 12, 2011
Must grab a slice of the stuffed spinach
Bob BrownOctober 31, 2012
Disappointed in the pizza, but the appetizers were great. Probably wouldn't go back.

Great breaded zucchini. Stuffed crust is yummy.
John CesaroneFebruary 25, 2012
Kinda bland, but decent for the price. Don't get your heart set on finding a parking space!
