    Exceeds expectations! CHOMPS Cheese pizza
    Sandy R.

    Exceeds expectations! Bubbly toasted blistery peaks, actual toasted crispy crust with a toothy bite of balanced well seasoned fermented dough. Not weighed down with greasy cheese Nor watery sauce here!

    Now this is a no frills pizza spot, for real pizza lovers only. You come in and you get a slice, you can eat it right there at the pink line station and you can just enjoy the classic flavors of a fresh cheese slice for just $5. We came in and got a slice of the cheese and a slice of the special. Both were great but I'm always impressed when someone can do a plain cheese slice and make me want more. The crust is crispy, light, has the right amount of char to it. The cheese is light too, just like a classic slice in NY. The sauce - we kept talking about the sauce and the owner told us how simple the recipe was - either he was being modest or he just has a special touch because the sauce really did make this plain cheese slice stand out. If you've ever been on pizza tours across the US, this is reminiscent of a New Haven slice as well. Just overall good and simple concept. I don't think it needs to be over complicated!

    I have been trying to get my hands on a slice of this pizza for a long time but because of my work hours I was never able to. I finally got one yesterday. They have 2 different pizzas, the regular cheese and their special. I forgot what the special was but I opted for their cheese. We also got a free cherry with our order, which was the first thing I ate and it was extremely fresh and crunchy. As soon as I saw the slice, I knew I made a great choice. The crust was so thin and crispy, the sauce was sweet and perfect. Everything I love in pizza was on this slice. I will definitely be coming back now that I'm on summer hours. This is my new favorite pizza!

    My wife is from New York and impossible to please with Chicago pizza. She does not like Chicago pizza. It will lead to our eventual divorce. I'm Southside Chicago through and through. I got her a slice from Chomp and she thought it was closest thing to NY that's she's had in Chicago. We've tried a lot! She actually like it. The guy working was cool and likable. He told me had some unfortunate interactions with earlier customers. Which adds to the "character" of grabbing a slice inside a slightly sketch L stop. Don't be afraid. Pull up. Pop on the hazards and grab a quick slice on the go. I really liked it! We'll be back.

    $5 special Slice

    For being nestled in the 18th pink line stop, this is an absolute gem. Quick pick up, and can't be mad for at a $5 slice of pie. Eat while you wait for your train or walk up and down 18th Street and look at small businesses as your chowing down. Gonna be running it back soon

    Classic slice on the left, secret slice (vodka for now) on the right

    I don't ever leave reviews. The pizza is phenomenal, it's an impossible deal to beat, and the owner is incredibly genuine and a cool ass dude. It being in the CTA station is cherry on top. I hope Chomp's is here to stay.

    Pizza was bland. Flavor of the sauce was decent but it wasn't distributed across the slice evenly thus my remarks of bland flavor. Price is high imho but the slices are pretty big. Crust was very evocative of New York style pizza. Only 3 items on the menu & they dont take cash.

    Cheese pizza slice took a bite couldn't wait.

    Who knew you can get a legit ny slice in Pilsen! Stopped in yesterday after hockey in need of a slice. Walked in the 18th st pink line station and it's right on the left. Ordered at the window and while I waited I talked to Travis about pro sports. $5 a slice you can't go wrong. Got it on a paper plate and I was out the door. That first bite was . Super thin dough with a great undercarriage. Every bite had a crunch. Sauce had a little tanginess which I like. Cheese was nice and melted. If you're in the area def worth a stop in!

    This pizza is a dream come true. Quality slices, beautifully fermented dough cooked with a lovely char that balances all of the flavors (with this type pizza you want a little char to accentuate the dough's deliciously fermented flavor and texture. True pizza aficionados know this, otherwise, I might as well eat white bread with ketchup) Robust tomato and just the right amount of cheese. Keep doing what you're doing, Team Chomp! I'll continue to send folks in the neighborhood your way.

    Chomp Pizza is hands down the best NY-style pizza in Chicago. I've had and made 1000's of NY-style pizza's in my life and they are far and away the best in Chicago. Travis and his dedication to making a quality product and not cutting corners is heavily apparent in his delicate, crispy, well proofed crust. The caramelized, stretchy, slightly salty cheese balances the clean, sweet, Tomato forward tomato sauce. A lovely bite all the way through. One slice isn't enough, get em while they last!!! Bravo Travis. Incredible job.

    Brooklyn-style pizza inside the CTA 18th St Pink Line Station. $5 a slice, on a paper plate to go. No frills, just classic slices.

    Slice perfection

However we arrived earlier than scheduled and we ended up getting settled at our hotel so we walked and went in early. We arrived at 4pm and they let us in - was perfect because it wasn't busy. It's my son's first visit to Chi-town so I think this is a good first meal. We got the Chicago meatballs so we can eat something as the deep dish pizza takes 30 mins. The meatballs are flavorful and filled us up until we get our pizza. We picked the Malnati's Chicago classic - medium. The butter crust is really good and the cheese to meet ratio is balanced. While it is deep dish - it didn't feel like it's super thick, I think the butter crust was the difference. It was quiet when we arrived and we were seated in the dining area by the back in the ground level. There was only 1 group and another couple when we arrived so it wasn't loud. I'm sure when it's peak hours it'll be more festive and busy. Great first meal - order some starters if you're hungry. Medium was quite big for 2 people but good if you want to have some slices to-go.

Two of us ordered: small - deep dish chicago classic $24.25 3oz ranch $0.95 It takes a long time for the pizza to bake ~40 min. Lou malnati definitely has a better crust than Giordano, though a bit on the wet side with the tomato sauce.

We came with a party of six and had a reservation for six, but our table felt more appropriate for four people. The restaurant itself is spacious, so it was disappointing that we felt so cramped. We started with the calamari, which I really enjoyed. The batter was light and crispy without feeling greasy. We also shared the seafood pizza, duck prosciutto pizza, cup and char pepperoni pizza, and the gnocchi. All three pizzas were delicious, with very thin and crispy crusts. The seafood pizza came with a soup or broth that you could pour over it, which was nice and it also came with so much seafood. The cheese was slightly firm, but the pizza was still flavorful and enjoyable. The duck prosciutto had a noticeable duck aroma, melty cheese, and a rich, savory flavor. The cup and char pepperoni pizza was satisfying as well, especially the pepperoni with its crisp, curled edges. The gnocchi was another standout. It was satisfyingly chewy with a great texture and bold flavor. We finished with the tiramisu, which was light, balanced, and not overly sweet. Overall, the food was delicious and the waterfront setting made for a lovely dinner. I just wish we had been seated at a more comfortable table for our party size.

We grabbed a reservation for an early Sunday lunch the day before, but the restaurant was pretty empty. Tavern Style Pepperoni (4.75/5): Crust is super crunchy and the tomato sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Pepperoni was uber savory and salty with a good crisp on em. Texturally, everything about this was perfect and you can just tell all the ingredients used were high quality. Mozzarella Sticks (4.5/5): Picture perfect mozzarella sticks. Insane crunch with a good amount of salt on the outside and melty, stretchy cheese when it hits your table. As with the pizza, the tomato in the marinara sauce really shines through.

Vibes in there are super fun and chic, casual but still cute and a little bit old-school I had done my research on our order lol but was really impressed by everything. We started with mozzarella sticks, fried zucchini, and meatballs, which were all generous portions and very tasty. The mozzarella sticks were very silky on the inside crunchy on the outside and came with a nice flavorful pomodoro dip. The meatballs had an Italian sausage/fennel flavor and were very tender, and the zucchini chips were the star of the apps!! Nice and crisp, they were cut into little super thin chips not like a traditional fried zucchini and the dipping sauce on that was also delicious and super fresh tasting Finally, we tried the spicy vodka tavern style pizza and added pepperoni to half. It was great both ways, super flavorful and the crust was perfectly crisp without being dry or overly crumbly. Pepperoni was a nice addition but not needed for sure. Would love to come back to try a pasta and dessert!
