Damn. Hands down the best pizza in Chicago. I am a long time fan of another Chicago deep dish pizza place on the "east side", but there is a new champ in town, George's. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. We were rolling through Chicago on our way home from the east coast and decided to try George's based on a recommendation. Quite impressed. When in Chicago, I will absolutely be back. read more

We've been waiting to try this place for some time. Excellent pizza, cool ingredient combos, and a kitschy interior. Couple that with the cute Nonna that brought me pizza= we'll be back. Sourdough crust is delicious. No Clark Street parking but 15 minute parking at the intersection. Seating options are minimal but can still seat a good size group. No cash, no BYOB. read more

Truly delicious life changing pizza. My new all time favorite. Service is always prompt.

It's good pizza. It's hyped. It's a bit expensive. Order ahead of time obviously and try it out.

As vegans, a friend and I wanted to order pizzas with no cheese or meat and were told they could only do that on a deep-dish pizza, not on a thin crust pizza. That makes no sense. So we ordered only salads, both of us specifying what we didn't want on our salads, all done on the computer by the entrance. The computer made a mistake and gave us what we didn't want on our salads. Admittedly, the salads were delicious - fresh and crisp, with Romain lettuce, not iceberg. Once at the table, we wanted some water to drink; the only way to do that was to order it using a QR code and pay for a bottle of water. I don't know how to use QR codes, so we got no water. read more

George's is really great pizza. Truly special. The charred pepperoni and chewy crust is unmatched around here. Only issue is you can't impulse order it. You have to plan in advance, reserve one, and (usually) pick it up. Perfect if you have your own parking space, but if you don't, you'd better think ahead and snag one of these dinner pies before dark. read more

George's Deep Dish has been on my list to try since opening day. Had the opportunity to stop by while in town visiting family. George's is a Deep Dish pizza spot. Placing orders ahead of time is highly recommended. Though there is seating available inside for about 20, a majority of orders are placed to go or pick up. After reviewing the menu, I quickly noticed each pizza is named after "a George" such as Halas' Classic (Italian Sausage, Cremini Mushrooms, Green Peppers, Red Onions), Clooney's ER (Ezzo Cup+Char Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Beef Meatballs, Bacon) and Carlin's Layover (Pineapple Rings, Ezzo Cup+Char Pepperoni, Fresh Jalapeño Peppers, Grape Tomatoes). I ordered a Build Your Own Chef Specialty with sausage, green peppers, grape tomatoes and garlic. I have had my share of Chicago pizza growing up here. George's is the Best Depp Dish I've had. The ingredients were fresh, flavorful and the toppings were a great combination together. Appreciate you old friend, until next time. Oh, find the appropriate "George" for the pizza we created. Deliciousness! read more

Possibly the best pizza I have ever had. As with any deep dish, it is not speedy but man was it worth the wait. Nice people run the place and everything flows smoothly. Great spot with excellent pizza. If you can only try one, this is it. read more

Excellent pizza and salad! Very nice people too. There are many choices, and also seasonal variations. read more

My husband and I came here last Saturday. Since we are out of towners, we didn't anticipate on the fact that their pizzas take 40 to 45 minutes to bake. Whoops. The place is pretty cool inside, however it was very clear that the majority of their clientele, at least for a Saturday afternoon, was nearly all takeout. The locals seem to be well aware of the time constraints of the readiness for pizza. We enjoyed the '80s music videos shown on the TV and I enjoyed the large cut out of Nathan Fillion standing in the corner. Once we got our pizza, it was really very good. In fact it was so good, that my husband and I both somewhat burned the roofs of our mouths eating it before I could cool down enough to be safely consumed without mouth burns. The woman who worked there seemed nice, but aloof, which was fine with us. I doubt we'll be in Chicago again, but if possible, we would eat here again. read more

George's Deep Dish - Orwell's Farm pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Thank you for the wonderful introduction to Chicago pizza. You and your mom were friendly and the pizza was amazing. What a great place!

Is it just me or does it feel like a personal accomplishment when you find a new go-to pizza spot? George's is serving up a quality pie. I mean this next statement in the best possible way. .. George's is like an elevated version of Jet's. It's deep dish, but not not because of the cheese. The dough is soft, buttery, and serves as the perfect base for the toppings. I built my own pizza with Italian sausage, cup pepperoni, spinach, and green pepper. The spinach had a nice char from the piping hot oven. It added a nice touch. I left a star off for the price. You all know I don't mind shelling out big bucks for a good meal, but I feel George's is too steep. I believe I paid over $40. Great quality from the dough to the toppings, but a little too rich IMO. read more

George's Deep Dish - Italian sausage, cup pepperoni, spinach, green pepper. I don't typically add comments to photo captions, but this ish is effing delicious! - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Just moved to Chicago a couple months ago and I've already tried many of the pizza places near me. They were all just ok until I stumbled on George's. By far one of the best pizzas I've had. The dough was so flavorful and just right. The toppings were fresh and were just the right amount on the pizza. All that to say this will be my regular pizza place from now on. read more

Great pizza. Not your run of the mill deep dish. Ordered take out and father in law reported employees were cool and friendly.

This is a wonderful place. Best pan pizza in the city. A crisp poppyseed crust, great toppings.

Amazing pizza. Came a long way to get it and was not disappointed. It was decadent. Recommend you order before you get there if you are in a hurry. read more

Have you ever had something so tasty, you regret every second between the moment you find out about it, and the moment it touches your lips? This is that!!! Adjust the portions. They say the 14 inch feeds up to 4 people which is correct if they are NFL linebackers or growing teenagers. But for normal people, please know the 14 inch deep dish can feed 4 easily with room to spare. That said, you will likely want to keep eating this deliciousness even when full. PSA Warning...that's on you! Indulge...but you have been warned! read more

Recently moved to Chicago and tried George's for the first time after hearing a lot about how this might be secretly the best place for deep dish in Chicago. The sauce and flavor were spectacular on the Carlins Layover. We thought the pizza was better than all the famous big name deep dish places that we tried. We definitely will be back to try some more of the other pizzas! read more

George's Deep Dish - Carlins layover 5/5 - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Waaaaaaaay too much garlic. Every slice has AT LEAST 5 whole cloves on top & there's more inside. I like garlic but it completely overpowered the pizza. You couldn't taste any other flavor, not the cheese the sauce the other toppings or the crust. And the entire house now smells of garlic. I have 2 candles burning & it still smells. read more

We are from out of state and George's was recommended for great deep dish pizza. By far the best food we had on our trip. The service as great and you are even able to order ahead online and dine in. This place is a gem and will definitely be back during our next visit. read more

Most incredible pizza ever. We ordered 3 pies and each was a feast of flavor, texture, cheese and sourdough deliciousness. I hate to admit, I'm one of those who doesn't eat pizza crust. Don't shun me, it's just my way, however I ate every drop of cheese baked crust. This place is one of a kind, family owned, and freaking amazing. George is a pizza artist. The salad is one of a kind as well. read more

Came back to old neighborhood to visit family. I always saw this place right across the street on different visits but never paid it any attention since we have our local pizzerias we get pizza from. All I can say is I wish I tried this pizza a long time ago. The pizza was just immaculate! Every ingredient in the pie presented itself, and that's not easy to to do on a pie. To say all the ingredients were fresh would be an understatement. The feel and taste of the mozzarella was phenomenal and the sweetness to the sauce really blew my mind. The sourdough crust was amazing as well and offered something unique to the entire experience .And you have to love a pizzeria that offers spicy cherry peppers! Whether you are into stuffed pizza or the tavern style, I feel George's pizzas stands on its own when it comes to some of the best Chicagos best pizzas. read more

I enjoyed my pizza however I'm not in awe of this place. It's def better than 90% of the other deep dish pizza in Chicago however the location & the price warranted them to loose a star. Had I not been in the area I doubt I'd make a special trip to come here. With that said this pizza is really good. It's def not a tomato sauce & cheese soup like Giordano's or UNO's. read more

This pizza is perfection. From the crust to the sauce to the ezzo pepperoni. My husband won't let us get pizza from anywhere else

Order ahead - this mom ad pop shop is AMAZING. We made a "build your own," and the pizza came out right on time, per the time it said it would be ready. It was really unique and yummy, and the salted toffee caramel cheesecake was SO good! The service is also amazing. The sourdough just takes it to a new level. This is our favorite deep dish in Chicago! read more

Today was my first experience with George's and the short...DEFINITELY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! Pre-ordering was easy and convenient. I ordered carry-out and received a text alert when it was ready that was literally seconds after my pickup time. VERY cool. I walked in and was greeted by George's Mother. Very sweet woman. George then appeared and we briefly discussed my choice of uncut and he showed me my Pizza. Very personable gentleman and the pizza looked and smelled amazing. By the way, uncut is definitely the way to go for carry-out. While George wrapped up with my pizza and packed desserts I ordered, a really nice couple came In to dine but had not pre-ordered. George was more than accommodating towards them. My pizza was fairly basic ( Sausage, Onions and on one side, Roasted Red Bell Peppers) but for a reason. I wanted to allow the simplicity to shine and oh how it did! The sourdough was fermented to perfection. Slightly sweet sauce and balanced. Quality sausage and the "pop" from the red onions and red peppers set it off. All in all, I can't wait to go back! THANKS GEORGE...and MOM!!! read more

Well we loved it so much I downloaded Yelp on my walk home so that we could give it five stars! The pizza is incredible. SO delicious. We dined in, the space is comfortable, and George and the other lovely person that was working were both so kind and considerate. Love it and can't wait to go back! read more

Really enjoyed the pie we had from here last night! It's true deep dish - not Chicago style stuffed pizza. All the specialty pizzas are named after a famous "George" - we had the Weasleys Spicy Red Top! The red sauce was good and we loved the addition of the cherry peppers. The crust had a really delicious caramelization to it! We also had a Cesar salad on the side - it was a generous portion! My wife thought the dressing was too fishy, but I liked it. Overall, a little on the pricey side. It cost us $40something for a 14" pizza and salad, but a good splurge when you're in the mood. It's a limited menu which I think is probably a good thing for this type of restaurant. We will likely try it again at some point in the future! read more

George is a master at his craft! He puts care in the process and the dough is like none other. You need to order ahead of time if you want a specific time. It's just George and his mom and they make them based on the order they get the orders. read more

George's Deep Dish - a pizza in a box - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Best deep dish on the north side! Crispy crust and delicious sauce. very reasonable price.

You have to order ahead since they do run out of pizza before the end of the night . But literally the best deep dish I've ever had the sourdough crust was incredible. We got the Clooney er (like a meat lovers) 9/10 and the okeeffee red poppy (a margarita pizza) 10/10 I did not expect to like the red poppy more than the Clooney er, especially because I love meat but the balsamic drizzle was life changing. Look forward to eating here again! read more

This just opened on 5/18 I came on 5/22. Ahh! missed the opening day. Anyway this is an artisanal pizza place that only make a limited amount per day. In other words you would have to call beforehand. Had their cheesecake & cookie. It was good. PS. It's only dine-in and pick-up. read more

Very long wait, but incredibly delicious and memorable. The crust was extraordinary.

Best deep dish in the city. Tons of flavor! The dough is light and airy despite being deep dish and has a nice crunch.

Great pizza from a family business. I feel like they really care about the quality. As far as the crust-dough I'd say this is Detroit style instead of Chicago deep dish. A tough find around here. Better than Pequods for sure. Best pizza in the edgewater area. Gonna try the thin crust next. read more

George's crust is somehow both chewy and crunchy. We usually choose our own toppings, but if you enjoy spicy pizza, the PEPPARD's zA-Team is a favorite. Both George and his mother are friendly and helpful. If you pick up, be sure to transport the pizza level or the delicious toppings may slide a bit to one side. read more
