Craft Pizza

They only accept orders online. Silly. Fine. We tried to order online and add bacon to a margarita pizza since it’s an ingredient on their website. But you cannot. Only Canadian bacon. Even though bacon is an ingredient on another pizza and they carry it in inventory, they said I could not add it to the margarita pizza. Dumb — ridiculous limitation and rule. Surely not a customer-​focused business!

Yum! Came in a bit ago for some slices, staff was so friendly I had to make it rain in the tip jar. Super fresh and flavorful. Also loved how they served Jones sodas, a cool touch. Music ruled, I’ll be back!

Every pizza I have tried here is delicious! Their farm to table, which is fresh vegetables that changes every few weeks is always amazing! Love this place

Probably my favorite pizza place in Chicago! (Seriously, can’t a girl get a decent slice of NY-​style pizza around here?)
You can get single slices of cheese, sausage, or pepperoni for $ 3-​$ 3.50 each. Ok, on the expensive side, but they’re gooood. The single slices are only available at certain hours, though, and their hours in general are a bit confusing. What’s on the website is different from what’s on the window is different from what’s on the chalkboard outside is different from the hours reported here on Unilocal,but I can tell you Craft is for sure closed on Mondays, and the single slices are for sure available on weekdays right after work (5 – 6:30 p.m. is what the chalkboard currently says). Ramble about the hours aside, the cheese slice is great, but the sausage slice is better, and the whole pizzas are excellent! Try the Devil in the White City.

Good pizza, but hours are seriously all over the place. Would love to eat here more often but it’s irritating when you show up and they are inexplicably closed during a time when every other restaurant in the area is open.

By far the best pizza I have had in Chicago (I might even say the best outside of Italy) — the «Craft Margherita» was beyond incredible. The service was friendly and welcoming, and we had our freshly made pizza pretty quickly after ordering — not to mention the guy who made our margherita pizza has a tattoo of margherita pizza! That’s pure pizza dedication and love.
This is pizza done the right way with simple, high quality ingredients. Highly recommend and I will definitely be visiting often!

Love that there’s a seasonal farm to table pizza option! Ours had spinach, seasoned red potatoes, pearl onions, & artichoke hearts– all on an EVOO base (as in no red sauce no Alfredo sauce, just basil infused olive oil!), so it’s kinda like a flatbread.
Crust could be chewier and more flavorful but it’s thin otherwise.
Slices can also be ordered during an evening happy hour.
Soda fountain exclusively pours Jones cane sugar soda.
Fun upcycling: empty tomato sauce tins used as pizza stands

Great ‘za! Homemade tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella! Awesomeness! Can’t beat the sauce!

Heard great things and wasn’t disappointed! !! We had the Devil in the White City and it was fantastic. It had the heat but not enough to drown out the flavors… with a great crust as well. We asked for a side of their awesome red sauce for dipping, as the the regular DWC comes without. and it was great.
A neighborgood atmosphere with serious Chicago Pizza!
You MUST go…

One of my new go-to’s for pizza. I’ve been a few times and tried the White City and White Truffle pizza. Both were excellent. Just need to try one with red sauce sometime.
Craft is a small pizza place and BYOB. The staff is super friendly, and were even kind enough to split our bill on multiple cards when we were ordering. Most places seem to sigh and groan when you want to split the cost, but Craft offered right away.

Went in and ordered the Farm to Table Pizza and could not have been more impressed.
As a Chicago native, I think I’m familiar with good pizza, but this pizza wasn’t good, it was great, spectacular even. I sad out loud three times «Wow, this is really great pizza.» I never say that about pizza anymore.
I highly recommend this place if your a die hard pizza fan or just looking for a great meal at a very fair price.
The staff were very kind and helpful which made this place a definite revisit! So refreshing to be surprised and impressed these day!

Had this spot on my bookmarks for quite awhile. Decided to stop in here after a Blackhawks game since it is just a bit further north on Damen.
This small spot is an order at the counter set up. We placed our order for two pizzas. A Margherita and a Bacon Bianca. We then picked out a spot to sit.
When ordering, the counter person asked if I was going home after here. I did not understand why she was asking this and thought it had something to do with their description of lots of fresh garlic on the Bacon Bianca pizza. Once we received the pizzas, Doh! I knew then she was asking me because these pizzas were 14 inches each. I was thinking that they were more personal size pizza. I also noticed the very large sign (Doh! again) right where you order showing the two sizes available. Oh well, pizza is one of my favorite things so I never experienced having too much pizza as being a problem.
The pizza here is good. It is somewhat a Neapolitan style. Not true Neapolitan but definitely inspired by it. The Bacon Bianca had a lot of things going for it especially the awesome bacon that they use here.
Service was super nice and friendly. Spoke with the people working here and they were all nice.
This place is small but has an outdoor area that would be nice in summer.
Worth checking out!
Cheers to All

This was part of a food crawl my friend & I created to try places we’d never been to.
As a Chicagoan, I always hype the awesome restaurants, especially the pizza. Unfortunately, this was not one of them. The ‘happy hour’ special was a great deal: 2 cheese slices & pop for $ 6, perfect for our quick stop. The pizza lacked sauce, cheese, and flavor. The dry pie does not make the cut. Sorry Craft Pizza, I can’t agree with the rest of the reviews.

Having to give up dairy for a while sucks, so when my friend was raving about Craft Pizza’s awesome vegan cheese pizza, I had to give it a try. The cashier was so friendly and totally empathized with my non-​dairy plight since her sister when through the same thing with her son. The nice thing is you can order pizza half-​half so Hubby could still enjoy regular cheese. We split the large sausage. Nice thin and crispy crust with chewy dough on the thicker parts. The pizza itself was on the salty side, perhaps it was the sauce. Had to drink a lot of water. I was pleasantly surprised with the vegan cheese. We ended up having 4 slices to take home.
The space itself was clean, with a large chalkboard menu on one of the walls with a selection of specialty pizzas as well as build your own options with a ton of toppings to choose from. The music was good, lots of good old throwback alternative stuff that made me nostalgic for my college days. There’s only one unisex restroom that doesn’t have a changing table (baby had a huge blowout on the drive to dinner so we had to change her in the car). They also make bagels, but only in the summer and on weekends.

We have been wanting to stop by several times, but after circling around the area for parking and not finding anything we had to bypass this place as an eating in option. They have a Happy Hour special that’s probably worth going to, but we ordered carry-​out after learning our lesson from the last time. I popped in to pick-​up and it was less busy during this time of night and the staff was really nice and friendly. I got the Hawaiian style pizza which was very tasty. Prices are reasonable as well.

Really small place. Has great outdoor seating, pretty romantic. BYOB! Pizza is great. Lots of families with kids when we came in.
Will definitely come back.

Came here late at around 9pm after a long day at work with my husband. We got the sausage 21 (i think it’s the large size?) pizza and added mushrooms to it as well. I thought we would have leftovers, but we ate the entire thing all minus 1 slice of pizza. We were starving and it took about 15 minutes.
main things we loved:
1. the sausage — SOOO good. Lots of flavor, and seemed really fresh.
2. the crust is so good — chewy, thin — not too crunchy where it cuts into your palate.
3. cheese — real chunks of mozzarella on pizza.
4. not too salty!

I was very impressed with this place.
Their concept is pretty simple but the taste… WOW!:
–they have a special pizza with their farm-​fresh ingredients for the day
–they have other menu options for meat, vegetarians, and vegans
–BYOB!!!
–HUGE size-​not much difference between price of small and large so definitely opt for the large because you will want leftovers for later
I must comment on how airy their crust is (yes, I took a picture). Delicious and you won’t feel sick after eating a slice (or four)! We were on the fence between going for deep dish pizza or Craft Pizza and I think we made the right choice! Their ingredients were really tasty too: yellow peppers, mushrooms, and garlic were the special ingredients for the day.
The weather was warm (shockingly) when we came for dinner, so we sat outside with our wine and beer and it was perfect!
Will definitely return when I am back in town!

Ordered the Devil in the White City pizza for carry out last night. Woke up this morning wanting the leftovers for breakfast. We did not get the extra sauce nor did we find it to be too spicy. Loved the soft dough. Slices are HUGE. I ordered the larger size for me and my husband preferring to err on the side of caution (and hunger!) as we’d never gone to Craft before, so now we have enough leftover for 2 more meals.
Girl over the phone was friendly. We were quoted 20 mins and it was ready by then. Looking forward to trying the other pizzas. And especially can’t wait to come back during warmer weather to take advantage of the outdoor seating and BYOB policy!
Pizza came in one of those «green» boxes which folds down to a smaller size, which I appreciated both for the environmental aspects and saving space in my fridge.

Pizza from here is comparable to Piece. It’s not famous just yet since it recently opened but it already looks like it’s getting there. important to note that everything is self-​service (get your own water, utensils etc), however I think that’s awesome because I don’t have to tip. One other thing to note is that there isn’t many tables inside and the biggest party you can have is 10 people (biggest table). There are two tables outside which seat 6.
We got 2 large pizzas with two toppings each + 2 garlic breads and paid $ 53 for it (about the same price as Piece). Meter parking outside or park on some random side street for free. Blue line is very close by.
