What the critics have to say and more…
Deep dish stands out from the rest of the pizza crowd with a high-edged bread that’s smothered with hefty amounts of stringy mozzarella cheese and fresh, chunky tomato sauce. It also happens to be probably the most indulgent slice you’ll find anywhere. It’s basically a glorious, savory pie. Now that you’re obviously craving it, here’s where to get the best deep dish pizza in Chi-Town.
The Art of Pizza ranks at the top of the list for Chicagoans. The inside of the restaurant is nothing special, but customers keep coming back, mainly for the herbed-crust pan pizzas and stuffed pizzas with intense amounts of mozzarella. The stuffed crust is about two inches tall on the outside and is noticeably less flakey than other deep dish pies around Chicago. The sauce is fresh with plenty of oregano and basil, and you’ll always have a solid selection of toppings. Pro tip: if you go for the whole pies, make sure you have a crew to share them with because these pies are tough to conquer solo.

My husband had heard how great this pizza place was in Chicago. I was up to ride and hungry for some great pizza. I was shocked by how great this place is …seriously! The choices that are ready to eat had me drooling. When I noticed the local cops and city workers that stopped in for lunch – I knew we hit the jackpot. It is very casual so do not get dressed up. You can not be dissatisfied because it is a treasure and I wish it was in Wisconsin.

What a wonderful little nearly hole in the wall place. As soon as you walk in you’re treated to a stack of awards and write up ups, not to mention the smell of fresh pies enrobing your nostrils with their beautiful aroma – Like Channel #9 of pizza.
The pizza is truly an art form. There is no godly way for that much stuffing to be held against the force of gravity and not showing an inch of sag.
I’m pretty sure Yoda is holed up in the back using the force to keep the structure.
The we enjoyed the loaded and pep and sausage…. both were loaded across the entire 2.5″ of thickness with really mozzarella slices covering everything in a safety cheese blanket.
Don’t eat anywhere else – we waited 45 min in rush hour traffic on the interstate just to get to this place.
It’s worth the investment to Art.

Deep dish pizza by the slice!! Yes that’s right – no more waiting an hour for a table and then an additional 45 minutes for your pizza to come to you.
My boyfriend and I went here and got 2 slices of the Art’s Meaty Delight deep dish ($3.95 each) and a piece of french bread ($1.75).
Since it was a Tuesday, their special was a meatball sub for only $3.99!! I was so excited because I love a good meatball sub. I asked the cashier what I should get, a meatball sub or a slice of deep dish. Would definitely come back here for a slice to-go! So inexpensive!

I used to work in the area and that’s how I found out about this place… fast forward 5 years later and I still stop by whenever I’m in the area. Hands down the best stuff pizza in Chicago.

My friend and I were craving some pizza and didn’t have time to wait. Luckily we were close to the Art of Pizza and dropped in. Order at the counter, no fuss, no frills, no table service. I had a slice of their deep dish pizzas with sausage and bell peppers and it was great. This is a great spot to go if you want slices of deep dish without the wait. You can even mix and match. Solid and reliable.
