piece

great beer and thincrustpizza. you can't go wrong here.we love making our own pizza creations. favorite beer: golden arm camel and camel toe

this is a really good place with some of the best thincrusti've had and the sausage (which makes or breaks a pizza for me) was wonderful...exactly the way pizza sausage should be!  was there with two others and we were all hungry so we ordered a medium and a small which more than enough as you do get very good bang for your buck.  we didn't go crazy with our order but there were many toppings options available that qualified for "off the beaten track" and when i go back i'll dive a little deeper (kicking myself for not ordering the mashed potatoes topping as i'll bet it's outstanding).  the place was crowded and seating took a little time but it wasn't outlandish.  my only modest complaint was that our server, while certainly busy, was fairly disinterested throughout the evening including at one point grabbing our empty beer glasses and not only not asking if we'd like another but also walking away as we tried to order them.  let's call that a one off and not deter anyone from going as the pizza is really good, the beer selection excellent and the atmosphere lively.  good place and one to which i would happily return.

i've wanted to check this place out for a long time but never had the time to wait for a table. when i found out that hot doug sohn was collaborating to make a pizza, i had no choice but to go. a warning, piece gets crazy busy on the weekends and there are no reservations. a table for 2 took a little over 45 minutes, but there is a bar and i had great company so i didn't have any worries.

we got the atomic pizza with chips and dip. chips and dip were good not great. i liked the spinach sauce that came with it but that's not why i came. the atomic pizza came with a spicy sausage and pepper jack cheese and while you could tell it's spicy, it was overwhelming. maybe i'm just a spicy guy, but i would've liked the heat to be turned up a few notches on an "atomic" pizza. otherwise, pizza had a goodcrustand you definitely get a good size pizza for the money. if you're looking for a chicago style pizza though you won't find it here as this is new haven style. a nice departure from pizza you may have had recently. it has a bit more chew and it turns out to be more of an oval pizza instead of round.

i didn't even mention that they brew their own beers here. i was able to try a few styles and i'd definitely recommend the dunkelweizen, but i imagine they rotate beers so it might not be available right now. all in all i'd recommend checking it out at least once if you're in the area.

writer. the best pizza in chicago! place is always packed and it's no wonder, their pizza is spectacular from thecrustto the sauce and the toppings. i've taken several out of towners here and they always say they can't wait to come back....and they do.

wow. that's the first word that escapes my mouth when i think of the perfectly toasted, warm, fresh thincrustpizza i had last night at piece . my girlfriends and i wanted to cure our monday blues with a fun little adventure after work, and what could bring greater happiness than pizza, beer and good company?

on my journey to find great pizza, i was referred to piece. the place feels a bit too corporate for my tastes and had a sports bar feel. but decor aside, the pizza was great (i had thincrustwhite). it's worth checking out.

piece offers three different pizza bases and then you build from there. the choices are red–traditional red sauce with mozzarella, white-which is a plaincrustbrushed with olive oil and garlic with mozzarella cheese, and plain which is red sauce with garlic and parmesan–but no mozzarella. from the base, you build your own pizza. they have lots of different toppings that range from the standard pepperoni and sausage to things like mashed potatoes and clams. we had trouble deciding which one to get so we ended up picking a few toppings that we thought sounded good first. we decided on artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers and italian sausage which we thought would go best with the white pizza. the pizza did not take long at all, and it comes out on a large rectangle baking sheet.

i thought chicago knew good pizza?. i can't believe this place ranked so high for pizza on urban spoon. the pizza is really not that great. the sausage and peperoni i will say were excellent, but the rest was a disaster. the waitress let me order way too much and we had more than half of the pizza left than we ordered. she obviously was doing it for a tip. she was a little snobby too. but the real problem was that thecrusthad the taste of the frozen "home run inn pizza”. you know the sticky kind of glue tasting pizza. the pizza itself was also lacking good construction. it would not even hold together trying to transfer it onto your plate. all the topping just slide right off. my overall grade is 5 out of ten. i assume the reason they won some pizza award must have been bought or paid for. this place may be good for drinks, but the pizza sucks!

piece has good pizza and pretty good beer that they brew in house. not that many places are putting out new haven style, so it's a good chance to try something different. thecrustis really nice and there's substantial thought put into the suggested topping combos. it can be a bit of a pain to deal with logistically, but if you're not in a hurry, it's a fantastic option. i'm giving them 4 out of 5 pearls.

for me this pizza was excellent. i loved the extra crispycrustand the simple, yet flavorful toppings. it came with crushed red pepper, parmesan cheese and italian seasoning, all of which i used a little bit to kick up the flavor just a bit. i would order this pizza again, but i would also love to try their red and white pizza because i have heard they are also very good. food wise i highly recommend piece if you want something different than the thick chicago style pizza, 4.25/5!
