piece

this is a reallygoodplace with some of the best thin crust i'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 verygoodbang 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 weregoodnot 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 agoodcrust and you definitely get agoodsize 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.

wow. that's the first word that escapes my mouth when i think of the perfectly toasted, warm, fresh thin crust pizza 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 andgoodcompany?

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 plain crust brushed 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 soundedgoodfirst. 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 knewgoodpizza?. 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 the crust had the taste of the frozen "home run inn pizza”. you know the sticky kind of glue tasting pizza. the pizza itself was also lackinggoodconstruction. 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 begoodfor drinks, but the pizza sucks!

nice beer & pizza night locale. piece hasgoodpizza and a great beer selection, but expect a wait and slow service (due to the crowds, not the wait staff). if you live close enough, you might want to do carry-out instead!

piece hasgoodpizza and prettygoodbeer that they brew in house. not that many places are putting out new haven style, so it's agoodchance to try something different. the crust is 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.

believe the hype. this is verrrrrrrygoodpizza. crisp crust, just the right amount of sauce with a little kick to it,goodcheese that doesn't overwhelm the pizza and make it soggy. the mushrooms and meatball topping was great. added bonus, the house made guacamole was excellent. they also take their beer selection very seriously, and the service was on par with a much nicer place.

windy city pizza club at piece. i went to piece on a sunday night for a 7pm reservation with the windy city pizza club. originally, we had a group of 22 booked to come; however because of the weather conditions, we had 12. i spoke with a manager a few weeks prior to the reservation and i said that we would like to be at a connected table to make it easier to talk, but the day of they moved us to "the pit".

"the pit" is down some stairs at piece, where there are a bunch of small circle tables and booth style couches. it wasn't exactly what we needed but we made it work by taking several of the small tables and putting them right up against each other to make a long table, still not convenient, but fun nonetheless. i had fun where we sat as there was a big screen tv and pinball machine, and of course it was more private, but it could use a massive update with its design and piece décor.

our waitress was great. i don't expect anything more from a university of denver alumnus, which she was because she did a fantastic job with our requests, food prep, and check. the service was sometimes a little bit slow but i understood with the weather being so poor that they didn't bring in as many servers. it was also a sunday night and there were a couple other groups in the venue.

the pizza. i won't yet say that it was my favorite, however it is definitely way up in the top 5 places i have ever been to. i had the red medium half spinach, half artichoke hearts. it was nice to have an inexpensive pizza that had premium toppings. the waitress told us that we had ordered too much for 12 people, as we ordered about 10 different types of mediums, but in the end, everything was gone. a medium is the right size for 2 people, however there are 12 slices per medium so depends on how big each of your appetites are.

the beer. i had a great microbrew ipa called "cap'n kickass" (7.5%). it sort of tastes like gumball head, but with less fruitiness and i would recommend it to people that like pale ales because it has agoodkick to the aftertaste. overall, i would go back to piece but not in a group. i really want to try their chocolate pizza and more of their beer selection. windy city pizza club very much enjoyed the venue and it's time at piece.

zeppelin 3 andgoodbrew. za was excellent, staff was chill, ipa was awesome, and to top it off they had zeppelin 3 playing.

sogood& so inexpensive. i went here on a friday night and it probably does not need to be mentioned that it was very busy. regardless of the hostess warning of a 1.5hr wait i figured it would be worth it. plus, it gave my friends and i a chance to hang out at the bar and try a few of their brews. every beer i tasted was amazing! we all ordered different ones and sampled each choice. i had a belgium style single and their ipa. both fantastic and $5/pint. our wait ended up being closer to 1hr and for dinner we had the white pizza with chicken, & artichoke. the four of us finished a large and were very adequately satiated. the pizza plus tip divided to $8/each. i have certainly spent more on food half as good.

top place to eat pizza and drink beer in chicago!. piece a great vibe and social scene...one of the few non-hipster places in hipsterville to causally chill out and slam some slices...the beer selection is awesome & home-brewed, which is unique in chicago. i took a growler home and left-over pizza for the next meal, taste just asgoodas the first time too! they also allow you to tailor with fine condiments to satisfaction. highly recommend piece to everybody...

location is great, room is great, service is good, beer isgoodbut pizza is bad. toppings are soupy despite being asked for crispy. the sauce brings back childhood memories of chef boyardee canned pasta.

this place is so much fun. the pizzas are verygoodalso,

average at best. i am a pizza expert and was excited to try this place after all i've heard but was disappointed. pizza was ok, but not amazing like everyone says. very, very crowded (these people need to learn wheregoodpizza is), and sub-par service.
