Ana Lucia –
They have deep dish pizza by the slice. Absolutely delicious.
I got the arts special deep dish, and also a second slice of arts special but thin crust. Both were great, and the best thing about it being by the slice is that you dont have to wait for it to be done.
Some friends got the spinach one and that one was good too (if you don’t eat meat).
They also had quite a good variety of vegetarian food.
The service was nice! Very kind

EDIT: A great place to get authentic deep dish pizza by the slice, if you are short on time and don’t want to wait for one of the sit-down restaurants. Quality can be inconsistent, as you can see from the first and second photos.
A small place with a walk-up counter and several tables, offering a surprising variety of pizza and sub options. I went here for my first taste of Chicago deep style pizza. Even at 9pm they had all four kinds available, from cheese only to pepperoni to pepperoni and sausage to one that adds bacon and ground beef. The cheese has a great texture and flavor and is the secret to the success as well as the savory thick tomato sauce. There is plenty of chili flakes, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan in shakers to add to your taste. At the time, the cost was $5.70 per slice.
EDIT: I went a second time and ordered the Meaty deep-dish slice, same as before. This pizza had just come out of the oven. This time, I found the crust to be quite thick and dry, and there wasn’t much cheese to make up for it. You can clearly see the difference in the pictures.
Of course, if you had the time and money to try one of the 45-minute sit-down restaurants, they would be better. But for what it is, Art of Pizza has a perfectly acceptable slice and is great value.

The Art of Pizza is just two minutes from Michigan Avenue walking. When I come to Chicago this will be my new favorite place. The menu prices are the best in the city and the food is amazing. I came on Saturday 1-03-26 around 10:30 PM.

Stopped in on my last night in Chicago; the restaurant is small but clean with very friendly staff. I opted to dine in and asked what they recommended and was told most tourists order the stuffed pizza, so I got a slice of the special (sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, and onions) and was not disappointed. Even though the crust is thick, it didn’t taste or feel like too much bread and the sauce on top tasted both slow cooked and fresh – a bit of an oxymoron but that was probably my favorite part even though I don’t typically like much sauce. I also loved that they sell it by the slice – I’m traveling alone and don’t have a place to store leftovers so that was perfect. I look forward to visiting again the next time I come to Chicago.

Passed by this shop hungry to try a slice of deep dish pizza. First time trying, it tasted great but did feel slightly stale. I also ordered an Art’s Special that came with several toppings and it was delicious. Small and casual space with helpful cashier.

You can tell the crust is handmade. It’s a bit drier than I prefer. I ordered the cheese. The flavor was ok. Had to top lots of pepper flakes on it though. Overall not bad but could be monster and more flavorful.

Their pizza was absolutely incredible. We ordered the Chicago-style thin crust, and it exceeded all expectations. The crust was perfectly balanced, soft but not flimsy or overly chewy, with a thin crispy finish at the end. The sauce was flavorful, striking the ideal balance between sweetness, saltiness, and tomatoey.
You can order online or stop in at any time to see what they have available and ready by the slice. When we stopped in, there were 6-8 different types of hot and ready pizzas to choose from.
Overall highly recommend visiting. Art of Pizza definitely deserves their award of being voted #1!

Art of Pizza was such a great experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The service was smooth, the atmosphere was relaxed, and everything felt easy and enjoyable.
But let’s talk about the pizza, because wow. This was hands down some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. Fresh, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and just overall amazing. Every bite was worth it.
If you’re in Chicago and debating where to grab pizza, this place absolutely delivers. I would 100% go back.

I really wanted to like the pizza. I was starving so they already had a good head start. I ordered a stuffed deep dish slice with spinach and mushrooms, jalapeno poppers and a thin crust veggie pizza. First the pizza is luke warm when they take it out the warmer. Flavor is one star over 7/11 pizza. Service was very good.

The crust is … not yummy. It was too hard on the outside. The cheese was good and they put a lot. But for $4.75 plus tax was $5.31 it was a decent deal. Near historic printers row.
