Chicago , October 2019 Di Vita Pizzaria My Cuban buddy from Miami flew into town on business and is staying with his brother for a few days. He calls me up and says meet him , his brother and another Cuban guy at some Cuban restaurant on the north side. So , I'm thinking we're eating Cuban food tonight , yummy ! I arrive at the Cuban restaurant and they announce that they want to eat Chinese. Huh ? Three Cuban guys want to eat Chinese ? They say yeah , cuz they eat Cuban food everyday and want something different. Soooo, we drive over to a Chinese restaurant not too far away. Guess what. It's closed ! Duh ! It's Monday ! Everyone knows that Chinese restaurants are closed on Monday in Chicago. These guys thought today was HUMP day. Geez , I told em it's not Hump day , it's MONday ! So now what. I know says the smart one , lets go get Pizza. Pizza places are always open in Chicago. So , we end up driving to Di Vita Pizzaria. The place was relatively empty , only one couple seated in the back. After driving the waitress crazy with our futile attempt to convey to her just what we wanted on our Pizza for four, we settled on cheese and sausage. But that was on 3/4 of the Pizza cuz the fat guy in the group wants vegetarian pizza , on his 1/4 of the pizza. uuuffff , vegetarian , who let him into the group. He says he's dieting. After a long wait the Pizza arrives. It's the "Football" size pizza. We dive in and consume most of the pizza. The left overs we gave to "Fatty" , you know , for his midnight snack. Yeah , i know , he's dieting. Okay , the pizza was very good. It was filling. It did it's job. It was my first time at Di Vita BUT these guys have all been here before and give this place a thumb's up. I agree , thumb's up. Our server was very pleasant and accommodating. Parking is on the street. I give this place 4 Stars. read more

`We ordered two pasta dishes. Both were not very big. I had linguini with Garlic and oil. The oil had leaked all over the paper delivery bag.My husband had the penne with Vodka sauce. He was not impressed at all. There was no dressing for our salads. Really disappointed. Going to have to stick with LaVilla. read more

Di Vita's has a coupon clearly listed on their website for 2 large one topping pizzas for $28.95. It says, "Coupon valid with direct phone-in orders only". When I called in to order they said they don't have that coupon and the price is $32.95. I said "never mind", and she said "great!". They really didn't want my business and they'll never get it again. read more

Horrendous experience with delivery. They are one of those stores when you call and ask about an order they pretend like it's on the way and will be there in five minutes and they don't know what you're talking about. The food is good but certainly not great oranywhere near worth waiting Over 90 minutes for and then for them to do nothing about it and make GrubHub cancel the order, even though they deliver their own orders according to the app. I will never order from here ever again. For a delivery, awful restaurant experience. read more

No longer recommend. These guys were sold to some other owner, no longer good. We ordered 2 pizzas and they canceled without refunding us. Just sent us email they are canceling due to emergency.

I been ordering from there for over 20 years but NOT anymore the last 2 times they messed up my order and the 2nd time the pizza was cold when I call them back, they said they would notify the owner and 5 days later I called them back the phone person was very RUDE. I asked for the owner to call me back and she stated she don't have time to talk to me as long-time customer. Let stand strong together! and refuse order ANYTHING from them. PS I am a 12 army Vet so I am also asking all my follow service members to stand strong and NOT order from them God bless America. read more

Absolutely one of the worst pizzas and Deserts I've ever had..All I know is my $50 is gone..Never ever ordering from here again..

I needed my fix for tavern style pizza after Johns Pizza closed, and this place is it! Cracker crust, thin dough with enough bite and square slices. Perfect amount of sauce and cheese. I've ordered here several times and once in person in the past several months I haven't had any issues. read more

I've had Di Vita's a few times now just by merit of living in the area, and I gotta be honest, it's pretty consistently bad. I think a lot of the people leaving positive reviews are stupid out-of-towners who don't really know what they're talking about. Posting a bad review of this place feels like punching down because I know they're struggling, but I think a lot of these reviews are pretty misleading. The thing is, I really wouldn't mind the quality if they weren't also expensive on top of it. If I could get some cheap shitty Italian food in my area that'd be great! But here's the thing, they aren't cheap. You're gonna be paying at least like $20+ if you come here, guaranteed. And don't get me wrong, the portions are generous! A lot of their entrees are like family-sized, like 1.5-2x the size of a normal dish from anywhere else, which would be great if it wasn't also so expensive. AND it sucks. So then you just have a bunch of this shitty food that you feel bad for throwing away since you paid so much for it. If I could just get some cheap Italian food for like $12, I'd be fine. But this is like $20 after tip and tax, and the quality is legitimately bad. Some tips for Di Vita's that would legitimately help them: 1. Make the menu smaller. It's far too big and too much to manage! That's money you're losing 2. Lower the portion sizes and price them accordingly, or at least give people the option between family and single-serving sizes. 3. Use fresher ingredients, everything tastes like it's from a can or jar. 4. Give people cheaper options! $8 for a slice is INSANE. And from what I hear it's not even the same pies you make when someone is ordering an entire pizza. read more

Okay I've been sleeping on this place. I ordered for the first time today and I'm impressed with the pizza. It's paper thin and extra crispy, great sauce, great amount of toppings. I ordered wings with the pizza but 10/10...they're trash. The wings should be renamed to Jewel Osco's wing dings. Don't sleep on the pizza! read more

So I got a slice which comes with 2 separate slices. I want to echo what someone else said the slice tasted extremely similar to the pizza you get in the school lunch. I think it's the seed that's next to the sausage. I feel that the recipe they use for the slices is different than the whole pie. It comes with a pop when you get the slices. There's a bar I frequent across the street Sleeping Village came to get a slice after I had a few beers. read more

I ordered the gnocchi. It wasn't bad but I've had better. Nothing special. Butter was melted that was a plus. Delivery driver called me before he was at the door. I made it to the door before he did. Pet peeve of mine that they don't ring doorbells anymore. read more

Pretty bland and ordinary pizza. Just a regular pie and nothing special.

Friendly staff, big portions and yummy food!! I got cheese pizza and my friend got chicken parm, both highly recommend. I will definitely come back read more

Not only is the pizza fantastic, but so is the pasta! And I mean Sabatino's level fantastic - if you are mourning its passing, Di Vita will provide you with some comfort. Their meat tortellini in meat sauce is perfect. read more

A decent pizza pie as long as you don't order the individual slices. It's a but pricey, but if you like thin pizza this might be the place for you. I personally don't like my pizza this thin- but the crust is nice and firm which does give it a nice texture. read more

The lady who rang me up was very nice but I got to save someone else from this bland ass pizza. I just had to add oregano and pepper flakes at home to make it somewhat more palatable. Also the veggies were disgusting....slimey and gross. No way were they fresh. The pizza had my ultimate pet peeve too: canned mushrooms. PUKE!. I'll be getting my pizza elsewhere for now on. read more

We're new to the Logan square area and phoned in an order for delivery. I had the ultra thin crust and Mr. Yelp had the regular thin. All the toppings were on the correct pizza and it showed up hot and on time. We really liked the pizza and will order again read more

Did not get food on time we saw other people get there order first but they just walked in while we were in there for an hour we did not taste food but seeing the menu and one of the pizza I would not eat it read more

Have to say, The perfect neighborhood Pizza Joint near my place of work...a long time ago; would frequent before, but usually after work and enjoy a sit down with friends & employees. Crust was just the right amount of 'crackle' around the outside...gooey cheese with the proper amount of pull. Sauce was tangy without being spicy. The staff (Family?) was always friendly and attentive. Looking forward to stopping by again with Family & Friends, for nostalgia & to enjoy a well established Pizza Place in Avondale ( Belmont Ave near Milwaukee Avenue. Mangia & Cheers! read more

Good pizza but pricey. 16 inch pizza half sausage and half pepperoni. $28.00. they need to lower price read more

No. Ordered a small, thin crust pepperoni pizza. Too much grease. Sauce is non-existent. Cheese is deflated and not even stringy (you know what I mean, when you take a bite and pull away from your slice and that cheese just doesn't want to let go). Pretty sure it's just grease in between the cheese and crust. I'll even upload a pic for ya. Total with delivery was $12.15. I just gave the guy $15. That's how much it costs to get a GREAT medium pizza from Coluta's (on Diversey). I always order from them because they have really tasty sauce that has a hint of sweetness. But I wanted to try other businesses in the area. Would I get Di Vita's again? No. They're better than Sarpino's. That's about the only good thing I can say. P.S. I normally eat half of a small pizza and am done. I could have finished this entire thing - but didn't because I plain did not enjoy it. Better off getting a $5 Lil Caesar's. read more

I ordered linguine with white clam sauce, which I've ordered many times before along with other items. The clams were rotten and smelled up my house within a minute of opening the container. I attempted to resolve with the restaurant and the woman claimed that I must just not like the cook's way of making this dish because the can showed an expiration of 2020 (and also 2022) apparently. I told them again that it had nothing to do with the preparation, that the clams were rotten. She kept going off phone to discuss with someone else. I also told her that I order from them all the time and have never had a problem. I will never order from them again. They basically handled me like I was lying to them. Had to throw dinner out and get it out of the house. Never again. I've rated them 2 stars here only because my prior experiences were fine. read more

3.5/5 Ordered a single slice, but it looks like they hooked up 2 and had to place it in a small pizza box. $4 well spent. I was told it would be fresh and would take 15 minutes. It was more like 25 mins. Luckily, I had to wait only the additional 10 minutes in their warm, cramped carryout waiting area. I felt like I was suffocating, as the waiting area is completely walled off. The most important part: the taste. I got the slice late night as a result of my wife's pregnancy craving. It hit the spot for her. And with (technically) two slices, I snagged a couple bites myself. Pretty standard quality, relative to all pizzas. But for the neighborhood, it was above average. Pizza places are aplenty in Avondale; I still have yet to find one that is as good as any of the south side spots -- thank goodness for Giordano's on Milwaukee. Sauce could be sweeter (possibly personal preference). Toppings were fair. Crust was meh. Cheese was standard. Two slices for the price of one (value) made this a good overall purchase. I might order again; I'll just be sure to call it in for carryout instead of putting in an order on the spot. read more

Family favorite. The restaurant is pretty quiet (no music), but the food is great. I've been coming here for years. I love their mixed breaded appetizers. You get a very large amount of food for an affordable price. read more

Perhaps I should have gone with one of their Italian dishes since it appears those received good reviews but I was in the mood for a fish fry. Long day at work do I figured I'd grub hub it. Perch dinner was a decent price so I ordered that with coleslaw and fries. To meet the minimum order price, I added cheesy garlic bread. The perch was noting special. Seriously, it could have come from the grocery store freezer aisle. Was not impressed. Maybe I'm used to different coleslaw but it was just 3 large hunks of lettuce with a couple tomatoes thrown on top with dressing. Not good. The garlic cheese bread was ok and the delivery was on time, but I don't myself ordering from here again. read more

I have been a long time fan of Di Vita's pizza and have regularly recommended them to others in the area. That ends tonight, as they just gave me the worst customer service experience of my life. I placed an order on Grubhub for delivery. I paid to add meatballs to my pasta, and requested the sauce to be substituted with vodka sauce in the notes. When the order arrived, there were no meatballs and the pasta was doused in alfredo sauce. It was completely different than what I had ordered. I didn't really want to eat it, so I called Di Vita's to ask if I could have it replaced. We live right down the street, and I'd rather have the correct order than a refund. I've worked in customer service my whole life, so I never treat workers poorly or make a big fuss. Accidents happen. I handled myself kindly on the phone. The girl who answered kept putting me on hold for minutes at a time to check with someone on my request. At one point she read my order to me with the notes included, and I had to explain again how different the order I recieved was. Eventually she said they could send a new one, but I had to send the old order back. I was a little taken back by this, as it seemed really out of character for a restaurant to do - but I said that was fine and was honest enough to let them know I had taken a few bites while waiting because I was hungry. She then gave the phone to her manager without any knowledge to me, nor reason to do so. He started hounding me about sending the food back, which I was not arguing about - regardless of how strange it was. He said multiple times "I can't let you get double food." I just relayed that I had no problem with that, but just gave a heads up that I ate a little while waiting. He then said "That's fine, as long as it's not half. Then I'd have to put your name of a list." At this point, I was really repulsed by the way I was being treated. I told him to forget it, and that this was horrible customer service. He replied in a smug voice, "Oh? Why's that?" They messed up my order. I only wanted what I paid to recieve, that they clearly had record of. That it's really rude to treat a customer that way for your own mistake. I have long time supported them and now will take my business elsewhere. He told me "Good. I wouldn't want your business anyway." before hanging up. I am still astonished by this experience. Now I'm without dinner and left in a sour mood. I've never been treated like a con artist for a restaurant making my order wrong before until tonight. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

Stopped by for "pizza by the slice" it was pretty much a glorified lunchable pizza for roughly 6 bucks. It's not cut from a large pie but made separately in a wierd slab that was cut in half. I wouldn't recommend pizza by the slice, it's just not good as other places, but give their whole pies a try, you might have a better experience I had. read more

We just moved into the neighborhood and wanted to patron a local joint, hoping to find a hidden treasure we could frequent. We ordered a medium super special pizza. Sadly it was disappointing. The sauce has almost no flavor, the mushrooms seemed to be canned, and the crust was bland. For $20 we had hoped for something better than a frozen pizza - I actually think I've had much better frozen pizza. Too bad. Pizza was done on time and the service was fine. read more
