The pizza is fantastic! The sauce was flavorful, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the crust was some of the best I've had in a very long time. I discovered this place through the One Bite Pizza App. Dave Portnoy gave it a great score, and after reading the local reviews, many people seemed to think it was even better. What surprised me most was the location. It's tucked inside a food court. It's a very nice food court, but in my opinion, it's an unexpected spot for such an outstanding pizza restaurant. There was a line when we arrived, but the staff was friendly, efficient, and did a great job keeping things moving. I ordered the pepperoni, and my wife chose the Margherita. Both pizzas were excellent, and we can't wait to come back. FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY! read more

5 stars for Pizza Dada in the Sterling Food Hall! This restaurant sells NY style pizza - whole pizzas and pizza slices. For downtown Chicago, the prices are actually pretty reasonable. I recommend the speciality pizzas - I tried a slice of the Vodka Roni - pizza with vodka sauce and pepperoni and a slice of White pizza - pizza with Ricotta cheese, basil, lemon and garlic - both were delicious but the Vodka Roni was my favorite! They have a ton of speciality pizzas so make sure to check those out. I also recommend coming before 12 PM if you're downtown on a weekday - as the line gets pretty long and you may not be able to find a table if you're dining in. I definitely recommend Pizza Dada if you want a NY style of Pizza in Chicago - delicious! read more

Pizza was very tempting as I bought a a slice. I like it where they warm the slice up and serve it to you. The pizza was very salty not sure if it was the sauce was way past my liking. The crust was crispy which I liked. This place is located in the Sterling Good Hall on Clark Street, located across the post office. Maybe I try the other types of pizza they have to offer next time. read more

Our friend from New England delivers. He recently reviewed this place as the best NYC slice in Chicago. We got a whole cheese and onion and it really was good. Idk if it was the best, though. I would say the crust was super nice and crispy, but tasted a bit too dry. That might've been one of the reasons why it had such a strong crisp. The edges is where I felt it most - usually I enjoy the edges - but this pizza edge was dried out. Pizza overall was great. We all really enjoyed it and there was absolutely NOTHING left. :) We will definitely get Dada's again. read more

As a disclaimer, I feel that this type of pizza and deep dish are in totally separate categories. It's like apples and oranges - the two cannot be compared. With that said, the pizza here was one of the best slices I've had in well over a year. It was perfect; I have no notes, and I would happily order again. I decided to go simple this time with a slice of Margherita pizza. All around perfection! The crust was thin and very crispy without feeling like a tortilla chip. The cheese and the tomato were bold, flavorful, and fresh. The top contained fresh, hand-torn basil for maximum aroma, and a drizzle of oil. It was hot, and it was delicious! The cost of about five bucks a slice is pretty reasonable too, considering how expensive everything else is. The service was very polite too! Final verdict: I can remember the first time I had a slice from Regina Pizzeria in Massachusetts. That first-bite feeling...Mmm! The same thing happened here, something that is, believe it or not, quite rare with me. read more

Located in the Sterling Food Hall, you get whole pies or by-the-slice at pizzA daDa - We ordered: +a slice of the Tartufo - with pesto, roasted mushrooms, ricotta, and truffle oil +a slide of Cheese - with grande mozzarella and tomato sauce +and, a slide of the Grandma Slice - with sausage and pepperoni Unfortunately, we weren't fans of the crust, as it was a little dried out; also, the cheese and the toppings could have been distributed more appropriately. They have some tables, but they do fill up quickly. Service was totally fine! Metered or garage parking available in the area. +dried-out crusts +located in the Sterling Food Hall +metered or garage parking available read more

Lives up and what a treat for a lunch in the loop. The crust is excellent and the chew is great. I was impressed with the crisp! Some people do it for the love of the game and that's evident here. read more

I am an NY-style pizza addict and have tried it all in Chicago; there are *maybe* three places in this city that I would put into the top tier for NY-style, and Pizza Dada is one of them. Visually it's stunning - exactly what you imagine an NY slice should look like when you close your eyes. Thin, equal parts crisp and chew, maillard perfection on top and beautiful leopard spotting underneath. And the taste matches the visual - the instant I took that first bite, I tasted New York. If you're after an excellent NY slice in Chicago, Pizza Dada belongs at the top of the list. read more

The cheese slice was to die for: crispy undercarriage, gooey cheese. Easy side trip for true NY style pizza

Amazing Loop spot with NY style slice that is supreme. It's located in the Sterling (fka National) Food Hall. The Sterling website is not tied to their website as of this post but you can order from them directly via their website but going in person is the move. I had the Vodkaroni and Caesar Salad Slice (which is salad on a cheese/sesame crust). AND THAT CRUST! Perfect golden crust and the sesame adds an interesting texture. Don't sleep on Pizza Dada. read more

Delicious NY-style pizza. The best I've had in Chicago so far. I tried the Margherita and will definitely be back to try the Tartufo and Caesar, which looks so fresh and crunchy. read more

I'm a pizza guy and I think about pizza every day of my life. Recently moved back to Chicago after many years in NYC, and while I do love Chicago thin crust and deep dish, I've been seriously missing a decent NY slice which is really hard to find around here. The slices here are very solid, like even if it were in NYC I would give it a good rating and be very happy if it were my neighborhood spot. Had a pepperoni fresh from the oven and it was quite nice. Very thin crust, spotted undercarriage, good crisp, cuppy pepperoni. Then a margherita on a reheat which was also great, even crispier. Extra hard cheese and oil post bake, a pungent fresh garlic in there too, and a good crack on the fold. Can't believe I haven't heard about this place in all my searching but seems they are new. If NY style is your thing, you gotta go here. It's surely one of the best NY pizza in Chicago. I'll be back often. read more

Food was great. New York style pizza. Pizza crust was awesome. I ordered sausage pizza and a mushroom pizza both fantastic. My son had a slice with vodka sauce was very good. There was a line. It went quick. Service was great. read more

The Vodka Roni Pie is insane. Nice touch on the sesame crust as well. The pizza gets pretty close to NYC style.

Very impressed by their white pizza. High quality mozzarella with a white sauce that is very garlic forward, which is a good thing. Cooked well with a nice char to the bottom and topped with ricotta, fresh basil, and freshly shaved parmesan. Much, much better than the white pizza from the previous occupant. read more

The pizza was good, and the salad was good, but as I watched the man make the pizzas, he wasn't wearing gloves--just using his bare hands. He was also ringing people up with the same hands, and that right there killed it for me. read more
