I was at two breweries last Saturday and Five Squared was at both! They offered 4 slices any variety which was a great way to try different selections. Their pizza is Detroit style pizza . We tried the Tie Dye- cheese with red and vodka and drizzled with pesto It was very good. The second was Ricotta Pepperoni and Hot Honey. I usually don't order pepperoni and I did take some off, but the blend of creamy ricotta and honey was perfect sweetness. My least favorite was the sausage giardiniera, but it is because I don't like giardiniera, but the rest of our group enjoyed it. The burrata caprese is the classic salad flavors into a pizza. The burrata was creamy . I have ordered their pizzas for pick up near my home in the past and have never been disappointed. They are the perfect pairing with a beer or cider. read more

The cheeseburger was surprisingly the best one it literally tasted like we were eating a cheeseburger! Other flavors : pepperoni, hot honey ricotta and the sausage giardiniera read more

Five Squared Pizza - Five Squared Box - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Amazing Detroit style pizza!! Five Squared serves pizza at Off Color Brewing on weekends which is where we tried it. We got the Spinach artichoke, ricotta pepperoni and hot honey, and 2 spacca pizza slices. I love that you get to order 4 individual slices so you can try a lot of different pizza options. Each one had a distinct and delicious flavor but if I had to pick a favorite it would be the Spacca. The pistachio cream sauce had a great pistachio flavor and in combination with the burrata, sausage, hot honey, and basil, it was incredible! Rich and balanced in flavor. The serving size is also impressive! One slice is actually quite filling because the pizza dough is thick and fluffy like focaccia. My partner and I had 1.25 slices each with a beer and were very satisfied. We took the rest home for leftovers. Really amazing pizza and friendly service. We will def be ordering Five Squared in the near future! read more

Innovative takes on Detroit Style pizza. Every recipe so far has been a hit. Delicious crust, great ingredients, friendly service. Great food that vibes with the atmosphere. (From the Mousetrap pop-up) read more

To do Detroit style pizza right you need to have great crust and this crust game is on point. Slices are pretty filling but each bite is light and airy. Tried a few different slices and the spacca was by far the most interesting. The Italian sausage was great along with the pistachio cream sauce a nice combination that worked well together. The other slices were also good. Pro Tip: order online, park outside the building and text to let them know you arrived. They will bring you pizza out right away to take and bake at home read more

Five Squared Pizza - Clockwise from top left: Spacca, Ricotta Pepperoni w/ hot honey, Tie-Dye, White Pie - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

**3.75** In response to my own review in 2021, no, this is not the best pizza in Chicago. Perhaps it was as a then new and exciting, unique option when they started out doing orders at The Hatchery, but in a very crowded field, while still good, it is no longer the standout it may have once been. First of all, congratulations to the husband and wife team on their success since my first visit during covid - they now have a brick and mortar location (for pick up and delivery only), and have a three-day-a-week pop up at nearby Off Color, which is a wonderful collaboration as those beers pair very nicely with this pizza. They remain one of the few places that do Detroit style (Pistores does as well), and having sampled several in Detroit, I can say they do it well. The dough is light and airy, and the crust is great - I may prefer a more caramelized crust than what they do, but it is tasty nonetheless. What's changed for me in the past three years is simply the execution on the sauce, cheese, and toppings. They par-bake the dough (as many places do), and then do toppings afterwards for service. The sauces don't have great depth of flavor - they're fine, but they're "mid" as the kids might say. I don't really get much of the vodka sauce flavor in the Tie Dye (though the pesto is good), and the red sauce is just ok on the Upside Down. The roasted garlic white sauce for the White Pie lacked really any roasted garlic taste, kind of a shame, even if it was an enjoyable slice overall. The ingredients don't seem to be top tier ingredients either, and that makes a difference. Look at George's or Milly's (and I still think Milly's uses too much sauce), you can really taste the quality and the freshness. Or even the tang of Bartoli's sauce, you're just not getting that with these slices. And, I have to say, especially the Tie Dye, the slices were really greasy. Like, needing a napkin to soak the oil off greasy. Sure, it's pizza, but I do not remember this the last time I had it. Maybe the pop up isn't 100% representative of what you might get if you do takeout from the shop, but it has to be close, especially if this is essentially their home away from home. They both seem like lovely people, and they're going to continue to do well especially because of the pop up, but the bloom is a little off the rose here as I used to consider this a great gourmet pizza option. Now, if I recalibrate to view it as brewery pizza that goes really well with a beer or two? Well, then yea, it's more of a Pequod's than a George's, and that's ok. But, at close to $6 a slice, maybe I do want something closer to the latter than the former. But, hey, what do I know, I don't have a YouTube channel with millions of followers ;) read more

So my only experience with Five Squared is as a pop-up at Off Color's Mousetrap brewery on Thursdays. That being said, my experience has been awesome. The pizzas are excellent, with multiple types, both standard and special. The pieces are a good size, flavorful, hot and creative. Best of all, you can order early and have him set you up with the pieces you want later on without him selling out in the meantime. Very nice. There isn't really an "ambiance" per se, as this is inside the brewery. But the ambiance of the brewery is awesome. Cost is really quite reasonable for a pop-up in a brewery, so that's a great bonus too. I'll be getting a couple pieces every time I'm at Off Color!! read more

Five Squared is the plug if you're craving Detroit‑style 'za without the fuss, grabbed their Four‑Slice Box, plus a cheesy garlic bread. The crust got that perfect airy crunch with crispy, cheesy edges and the toppings were legit. Ordering was low‑key, hit them up via DoorDash, IG DM, or their site and the take‑and‑bake setup made it feel like a home‑cook flex. Pulled them straight from the oven and it felt fresh like you were at Off Color Brewing on tap‑room night. Their ghost‑kitchen vibe is super Chicago: no frills, just straight‑up fire pizza that pops on everything from Condé Nast lists to Barstool reviews. Totally worth the hype--and the occasional grease‑drip. read more

Five Squared Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Five Squared Pizza is so good -- seriously, one of my new favorite spots while at Off Color Brewing. Their pizza is delicious, super fresh, and honestly just an awesome option all around. One of the best parts is that they'll even make their pizzas dairy-free (for those with allergies & order ahead on Instagram), and they still come out amazing. The flavors are great, the crust is perfect, and every bite is just so satisfying. Highly recommend! Thank you so much!!! read more

This place is INCREDIBLE. I'm such a sucker for sharing different things at restaurants which makes this place a favorite for me as you can try a bit of everything. They always have unique flavor slices. The pizza looks amazing once opening the box but once you pop them in the oven... that's when the magic happens! Once of the best pizzas I've ever had (and I make pizza myself at home from scratch!) read more

I ordered via Uber Eats; therefore I cannot comment on service or ambiance. I haven't thought about take and bake pizza since Papa John's. I didn't quite know what to make of the take and bake Detroit style, but after reading the ingredients to every style I knew that Five Squared Pizza was on to something. My wife and I tried the pepperoni, Tie Dye, Ricotta Pepperoni and Hot Honey, Carnivore, Spacca, Burrata Caprese, and White Pie. All of which were BANGING!!!!!!!!! The crust goes hard! It's crisp caramelized cheesiness like Peqoud's/Tortorice's, golden crusted Detroit style slices that are pretty filling. I'm a foodie and was full after two slices. Wife and I could have shared four slices and still been full for a day. The price isn't bad considering quantity and quality, and I didn't mind baking it myself because it came out the air fryer perfect!!!! This is my new favorite pizza in the city, and I will be back to try them all! read more

This pizza completely blew us away! The crust was perfect, the flavors were great, and the variety of options made the experience even better. I loved that we got to try several different flavors--it felt like a pizza flight. If you're a fan of Detroit-style pizza, this place will not disappoint! read more

Best Detroit Style you can get! Always good. The pepperoni is my fave and the pistachio

Really good pizza! Love that you can choose 4 different flavors in a box. Basically, you order online, come to the location listed, and text that you've arrived. My order was ready in 5 minutes. The pizza isn't hot so you have to finish cooking it yourself in the oven but it's worth it! One 4 slice box is enough to feed 2 people. I would definitely recommend coming here if you're in the area. read more

Super friendly owners and super responsive too! Follow the directions it comes with and you should have perfectly crispy edges. My favorite pizza on the west side of Chicago read more

With gourmet Detroit-style pizza in a city known for its deep-dish, Five Squared Pizza holds their own weight. Ordering a small cube shaped pizza over Instagram DM on a Friday night and picking it up "take and bake" style is something I never thought I would do, but after doing it about 7 times over the course of 10 weeks, I'd happily put in the extra work again for them. A pizza with only four slices may not sound like a lot, but the slices are large enough to be cut in two and are packed with so many toppings that finishing an entire pizza in one night becomes daunting fast. Eating each slice is almost like a pizza tasting if you take advantage of their Mix & Match concept, where you can mix up to 4 flavors in your box. Just make sure to order early - they make a limited amount of each flavor each night and the most popular flavors sell out quick. read more

Five Squared Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

First visit and it was alright... husband and I both agree it was overall a 3.5-4. We got the Nashville chicken and pepperoni stromboli. Both agree the Nashville chicken was better...but the pepperoni is predictable and tasted as expected. Added a side of homemade ranch for $2 (for a small dipping cup that is a bit pricey in my opinion) For pizza we got the PBJ, Tie Dye, Mushroom and Big Red. All were good and enjoyed each had their own individual taste/sauce..the crust was airy and tasty. Mushroom, Big Red and PBJ were flavorful. Bottom line...there are a lot of options for pizza in the city...this was okay but we probably won't be going back...nothing gave us the wow feeling. read more

Good, but kind of pricey. Our friend suggested Five Square, so we ordered a Meat Lovers and Burrata Caprese for the three of us to split. The business model is that you text, email or over Instagram to order; then you pick up your order and heat up the par baked pizza on the way home. The pizzas are cut into 4 decent sized pieces. Expect you eat 1-2 pieces; the pizza is Detroit style so the crust is heartier. The Burrata pizza was fine, but I should've ordered something more interesting. Husband and our friend enjoyed their meat lovers. I can speak for our friend, but my husband was happy with it yet didn't feel it lived up to the expense or whole process getting it. Overall the pizza was really good, but it felt like a lot of effort for it. Our two pizzas were about $50 with tax. read more

Five Squared Pizza - Five Squared Box - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Fantastic Detroit style pizza operation busting out slices from a ghost kitchen. They release a menu Monday and pick up on Fridays, they always sell out! I love how they have rotation flavors and the fact that they get creative with flavors not usually associated with pizza. I have ordered with them a few times. I've gotten the vodka pesto pizza, the Cheeseburger bacon jalapeno, the buffalo chicken, the gyro, the cheese steak, and the Italian beef. All the toppings were great, can't really go wrong with any flavor. The italian beef surprised me the most and ended up being my favorite. The giardiniera peppers really made this slice pop. The piece that makes all their slices so good is the crust, nice, thicc, and fluffy. They also make sure every piece is a corner slice which just makes it wayyy better. Best detroit style pizza I've had and can't wait to go back! read more

The absolute best. The quality. The flavors. The directions to reheat at home. We have gotten a ton of different pizza varieties. All of them have been good. Take the suggestion of cutting them into triangles to make them even more sharable. However, my absolute favorite thing is the cheeseburger Stromboli. All the gooey deliciousness of a patty melt (though not sure if it has onions) but with the exact right amount of pickle. Perfection. Give this one a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Five Squared Pizza - Mushroom, Casio, Diablo, pepperoni, BBT, p&J, spinach and artichoke, cheeseburger. - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Five Squared offers an amazing concept - they give you the pizza ready for the oven and all you have to do is bake it! Because you bake, you get to eat the pizza hot from the oven with perfectly crispy crust. I also love that you can get 4 different slices in each box and don't have to commit to one pizza. The pizza itself is great! I have loved almost every slice I've tried. Lastly, the price is very reasonable ($22 for 4 huge slices) and I have never had any issues with delivery. Note: this is not a sit down restaurant. They are delivery only! read more

Five Squared Pizza - two different pizzas in a box - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Fantastic husband and wife owned small business! You order through Instagram DM and I've done both pick up and delivery and both processes were a breeze. This pizza is no joke. The crust is light, fluffy and crunchy and they offer an amazing rotating selection of flavors. One box is enough for two people but we like to order two and save the second box for later since they bake their pizzas specifically for reheating. Delicious pizza and incredibly friendly owners. You can't go wrong here! read more

Fabulous pizza! They deliver chilled and you heat in the oven. I was skeptical abt this part but it turned out fabulous!! I love that you can mix and match the slices. You order a box of 4 and you can pick a different piece for each. We had four people. Ordered two boxes for 8 total and sliced each piece into four pieces for everyone to taste. Our favs were Diablo, cacio de Pepe, white, the cheeseburger was an unexpected hit! Can't wait to try more! read more

Alright so everything about Five Squared is 5 stars! I had been looking (and drooling) over their menu for awhile now and finally decided to order. It was SOO tasty. I had really high hopes and it exceeded them. We got the sausage, white truffle mushroom, PBJ, Mac n' cheese, cheeseburger, garlic cheesy bread and the desserts... you cannot go wrong with any of them, they were all off the charts! I recommend getting a bunch of kinds with your crew and cutting them in half (like they say in the directions) so you can try more The cheeseburger was my fave. And that cheesy garlic bread. Yasssss! Oh and get extra red sauce cuz it's amazing !! Did I mention that the service is also incredible? Quick to respond, so friendly, informative. I was super impressed and delighted with everything and can't wait to order again!! ...oh and that gooey butter bar... omg yessss!! read more

Good enough pizza for eating with your Off Color beers. And the guys are nice. But this isn't pizza I'd seek out.

Well worth your drive to pick up the best pizza in Chicago! Highly recommend the spinach artichoke topping.

Congratulations! By reading this review it means you have discovered Five Squared Pizza! If you are here looking for confirmation before you order - you've found it! Five squared is some of the best (and most unique) pizza in Chicago. I've ordered no less than 10 times and tried every slice - they are all winners! No matter what you order you are getting a fluffy crust with a crispy cheesy edge. Its cold when you get it (pick up or delivery) and gets perfectly crispy in the oven for like 4 days after! It's honestly hard to choose a 'favorite' but I love all the meat ones like the PBJ, Diablo, Meat Lovers. The cheeseburger is just silly good - the homemade burger sauce just makes it. Love the Buffalo chicken! My wife is a big spinach artichoke fan! We like to order 8 slices and cut them in half so have a sampling and then just finish them over the following few days. read more

The pizza is crazy good. Consider trying their desserts too! Great food and even better people.

When I first read their menu I was drooling and I was looking forward to this all week and it definitely lived up and surpassed my expectations! All of the slices I tried were delicious but I especially enjoyed the cheeseburger and the pb&j slices! The homemade burger sauce was incredible and I also loved their desserts (especially the gooey butter cake bar). Will definitely order again and HIGHLY recommend it to everyone.
