An extremely unique slice! I got the buff chick and the burrata. Both were really good. What shines here is the crust. It's the perfect mix between crunchy and light fluffiness. It's the only sicilian slice I can recall in the city. My one gripe is I wish the portions were bigger, especially at $5 a slice. read more

This was such a cute little find! Located in Ukrainian Village, this Sicilian style pizza joint was worth the stop. They had a deal you could do, "Dinner for Two", that came with 4 slices, breadsticks and a salad. My partner and I split the deal; I got two miso mushrooms and he got one of those + a potato pesto slice. In general, I liked the food (though some aspects were a bit sweet, and the pizza was VERY bread-heavy considering the amount of toppings). My only wish is that they add dairy free cheese to their pizza menu - the miso mushroom was the token vegan option. If they added df cheese, more of the pizzas could be dairy free or vegan! read more

Hands down this is the best happy hour in the city. The pizza is a Detroit style pizza and is fluffy and crispy. The pepperoni pizza has these cute little pepperonis on there . The sausage comes with hot peepers and it enhances it. The happy hour deal is a beer + shot + slice pizza = $8. read more

Although outsiders will suggest Las Vegas' Pizza scene cannot compare to the likes of New York or Chicago it comes as no surprise to in-the-know locals that Michelin 2* Chef Noah Sandoval reached out to Metro Pizza's John Arena when concocting the Dough for his Sicilian-style concept that recently took over the old Bite Cafe space in Ukrainian Village. A collaboration called Pizza Friendly Pizza, its current location in the alley behind Bruce Finkelman's Empty Bottle offering four daily Slices or Pies from a walk-up window, guests in the era of COVID-19 will find the space open Wednesday through Sunday from 4:30pm, social distancing assured by the fast-paced line and a kitchen that already operates with efficiency. Priced at $4.50 per Slice, a smattering of Salads and Sandwiches plus well-priced Alcohol rounding out Pizza Friendly Pizza's concise menu, those seeking a low-cost customizable Pie will be better served elsewhere as Sandoval predictably cuts no corners in terms of Ingredient quality or attention to detail. Quick to gain popularity, a dozen patrons in line before the patio opened for business, it was fifteen minutes later that three squares and a locally-made Italian Ice were taken to seats along West Cortez Street, first bites of Rapini & Lemon bright with faint smokiness but most notable for Crust that is thick but buoyant with a crackling base and developed yeastiness. Staying "cheffy" with Ruben's Special, housemade Italian Sausage plus medium-spicy Giardiniera undeniably *Chicago* beneath Provolone, those seeking Pizza Friendly Pizza's most usual Slice will find it listed as "Pepperoni & Basil," but even here Saandoval sources Ezzo's baked to crisp cups and matches it to aged Parm plus a bit of Mozzarella atop just a splash of Sauce. read more

Pizza Friendly Pizza - WHIPPED BURRATA slice, WHOLE SAUSAGE slice, pride slice, WHOLE MISO MUSHROOM slice and hot honey sauce - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Unique style of pizza, small menu, but done so well! Incredibly fluffy crust, good variety of toppings and flavors. Do yourself a favor and get a "slice flight", 6 different slices for $20 and try them all, with a partner. You might be surprised by which one is your favorite! The miso mushroom was the winner for us, airy crust working as a vehicle for delicious, tangy and acidic mushrooms without any sauce to dampen the intensity of the mushrooms. No surprise that Noah's pizza place is inventive and delicious like his other, more formal restaurants. read more

The pizza was excellent! Soooo good. The Burrata was my favorite and my friend agreed the Burrata was the best slice. I also really enjoyed the Miso Mushroom slice it was very fresh tasting.

Desperately wanted pizza on a Friday night, specifically of the Sicilian kind. Went with Pizza Friendly Pizza because the menu looked good and we were willing to spend the delivery wait time napping. So then it came, and man, it was delicious. Went with a Mushroom Miso pie, Breadsticks, the Caesar Salad, and 2 Chocolate Chip Cookies. You have to know going in that Sicilian pizza is going to be focused on the bread/crust, and the ones here were darn near perfect with just the right mix of fluffy-crunchy and a savory sweet mushroom caramelized-onion topping that made me forget that the cheese was vegan. The two of us managed about 5 slices between us, leaving the remaining four happily as leftovers. The bread sticks, made from the crust, tasted great as well, especially when dipped in the cup of Burrata we ordered on the side. Prepare for an intense Caesar Salad. We we're, and the anchovy filet in there shows that they're not messing around. The only drawback was the cookies... ordered 2 and only got 1 delivered. Which is sad, because they were homemade and delicious. So, minus a star for the missing cookie... but we're definitely going to be ordering again, perhaps even going there to get a flight, so 5 stars is definitely within reach. read more

I've always been told that Italian pizza trumps American in every way & while I can't confirm this is authentic Sicilian pizza its still damn good. Let me start by addressing the "cheese sauce" that comes with the breadsticks. This was AMAZING! Idk what ingredients in particular are in this tomato sauce on the pizza but it's hard to explain & far from regular or anything that comes in a jar. The pizza in addition to the breadsticks are extremely crunchy. The wait wasn't long & there's even seating in front of the ordering window & also right outside the alley. Staff is warm & the patio even has hanging plants to add to the ambiance with a single speaker playing music. read more

The pizza with the hot honey was great. The food came out quickly and the Staff was nice.

Pizza Friendly Pizza has been on my radar since I moved to West Town and they are highly rated. I ordered a Pepperoni & Basil pizza/breadsticks for delivery on a Saturday night and it arrived on time. The breadsticks and sauce were decent, but nothing to write home about. Crust was doughy and it tasted good, but it had zero crisp and it was extremely moist due to the grease. This was probably due to the pizza being delivered and would be better dining in. The cheese was great and the shaved parmesan was a nice touch. There was a lot of cheese, which was great! Sauce had some spice to it and the pie needed more sauce. The sauce to cheese ratio was ok. The toppings were very good as well and I really liked the basil as it had great flavor. Overall, the pizza was good and has a lot of potential, but you definitely need to eat it dining in. It wasn't great for delivery, but I thought the toppings were very good and it was very cheesy. Price was expensive at $33 for the pizza, but it came with 8 slices, which are big. Definitely worth a try! Crust: 5 Cheese: 8 Sauce: 6 Toppings: 8 Overall: 6.75 read more

Stopped by Pizza Friendly Pizza after noticing it was a located very close to where I lived. Ordering was very easy online and they even send you text updates - we ordered 2 slices and it look less than 10 minutes to be ready for pick up. Got a slice of the Supreme and Rapini & Lemon - the crunchy yet airy Sicilian style pizza was definitely aa hit! Can't wait to come back and try other flavors! The supreme pizza was good in taste, but a little salty for me with the soppressata and olives. However, I don't eat a lot of salt in my normal life so its probably just a personal thing! Also, saw a special for 1 beer, 1 shot and 1 slice of pizza for $10! Cannot wait to come back when things are back to normal for this special read more

A lot of new pizza spots have opened up lately and it's exciting that we're getting so many pizza styles. I grew up eating Sicilian slices in NY and to me, these are more of it's own hybrid I've never had before than Sicilian slices you typically get there. I never have had Sicilian pizza in Sicily, so maybe closer to what they have there. Where the pizza is different is the super airy crust, the crust was almost like a fritter - fried like texture from baking in the pan with a lot of oil. The slices are small ~3"x3", the sauce is very tasty, each of the 4 slice options were good, I just wish they had a simple margarita/cheese option. I was excited to try this place out, the slices are too greasy/rich for my tastes, and take away from the curated slice toppings. I wish they were baked softer with less oil or a little denser as many bites were air with the greasy fried dough. I really like a bubbly dough but its not as enjoyable when it's this greasy. read more

I'm sure at this point, you've heard about this place. I'm just spitting into the ocean at this point, but I can't in good conscience not write a stellar review of this place. We got the pepperoni pizza with chopped basil and not only was it mind blowingly tasty, it was the most unique slice of pizza I've had in a long time. You remember the first time you tried deep dish? And then the first time you tried ultra thin crust? This is one of those new "pizza frontiers" you're going to have to experience yourself to fully get it. You look at this thick slice and have an idea of what it's going to taste like, what the texture is going to be. And then the experience is completely unexpected. Light, billowy, delicious crust. Not, perhaps, the dough heavy slice you were expecting. Not at all. I would give this place 6 stars if I could. You need to eat this pizza. read more

Pizza Friendly Pizza is my sister in law's favorite pizza EVER, and I finally got the chance to try it last month to see what all the fuss is about. Wow! We got a plain cheese pizza, and it was incredible. Great flavor and you can really tell they use high quality ingredients. I was especially impressed by how much flavor there was despite not ordering any additional ingredients. It's the perfect slight saltiness and juiciness in every bite. I know, juicy isn't the word that usually comes to mind when I'm thinking about pizza, but it works for Pizza Friendly Pizza! We will definitely be back to try more flavor combos. I hope they stick around Wicker Park for a long time! What a great thing to come out of the pandemic. read more

Ordered the pepperoni and basil pizza. The first thing I noticed was the sauce was very bright and bold, but I thought the after taste was a tad sweet. The cheese was delicious, but the best part had to be the pepperoni. Slightly crispy and slightly spicy, absolutely delicious. The crust was lighter than I expected and I think it could've been cooked for a couple more minutes, but overall a really good poz read more

I love me some greasy, pretend to be good for you, creative square pizza! Tried this place for the first time carried out the assortment and it was great. One even had kimchi on it! Now if you are expecting ordinary pepperoni and cheese this isn't it. But you're looking for something different and adventurous on what's on top of a pizza give this place a shot. I would pass on the salad though its not worth the $11 read more

I honestly expected a lot more from Pizza Friendly Pizza. Their prices are fair, but the pizza leaves a lot to be desired as it is basically focaccia bread with little to no sauce and toppings thrown on randomly. For most of the slices, the flavors don't mesh and there is something lacking in each of them. The hangover salad is a great way to throw up easily when being hungover as there are while anchovies in it. On top of a horribly long wait time, the service is unorganized and there's a lot of people moving around but not a lot being done. We waited over 45 minutes in the restaurant for the special mildly hot pizza and warm beers. read more

We ordered the 4 slice deal with the salad and breadsticks for take out. They were quite busy, but super nice about it. We got two pelt slices, the fig and pig and the sausage. They all were amazing. The crust is like a foccicia bread almost. It's light and crispy and honestly amazing. We devoured it all! Shout out to the staff for being so nice on such a busy night: ) P.S. get the brownie. We will be back on Wednesday to try the round whole pizzas! read more

So dang good!! Best Detroit style pizza in Chicago. We got take out and it kinda took a while but it was worth it. 10/10 recommend for a late night pizza stop! We loved the burrata pizza and pepperoni pizza but honestly they all were bomb! read more

Used to be 5 star pizza, but recent orders have been sub-par, and that is being generous. Pizza Friendly Pizza seems to have built up a following and then proceeded to engage in a bait and switch, reducing the quality of their offering drastically from what it used to be, while charging the same price. The sauce used to be some of the best, and well applied, now there is so little sauce it's hard to comment on the quality, the toppings used to be generous and high quality, now they are sparse and middling, the crust used to have a perfect crisp, now it's a soggy flavorless sponge. And I know it's a Pizza place, and sides aren't the center of the show, but nonetheless, $10 for a wilted salad that used to be delicious is aggressive. PFP's Pizza used to be well worth the $32 price tag, now I'd be hard pressed to pay $13 - the slide downward has been consistent and sustained, as the attached image shows. read more

I stopped by Pizza Friendly Pizza for take out a few months ago after hearing so many great things about it online. I've never had Sicilian pan pizza, so was eager to give it a shot. I really like the patio they have. It would be the perfect place to eat a pizza on a warm day. I showed up to pick up the pizza and the place was packed. Good sign. It took a few minutes to get my pizzas, but the wait wasn't terrible, and everyone was really nice. We got a Pepperoni and Basil, and a Fig and Pig. The pepperoni and basil was pretty good, but the fig and pig stole the show! I loved it. While I will say that after eating this, I don't think Sicilian pan pizza is my favorite type of pizza (it has a little too much bread to toppings), but I loved the flavors of the fig and pig. I would definitely give this place a try. read more

I had a slice during an event at the Salt Shed. The Burrata vegetarian pizza is amazing!

This is a hidden gem! My boyfriend and I came here for a slice and were shocked with the variety of super fun pizzas. We got slices of the burrata, fig and pig, pepperoni and basil and one of their pizzas of the week. We will be back for the combo! A slice, shot, and beer! read more

We gave this place a second try tonight (6/12/21). Our last order a week ago had very overcooked toppings. This time our order was perfection with a perfectly crispy bottom crust and pillowy soft middle. The sauce was spicy and flavorful, and there was plenty of pepperoni, all perfectly cooked this time. Sicilian pizza is our favorite style of pizza, and Pizza Friendly Pizza did the genre justice. Delicioso! Grazie! read more

They just continue to kick absolute ass and never disappoint. We ate there twice last week and frankly I'm considering it again tonight; the new tomato pie is a triumph! I miss the rapini but I haven't had a miss yet so I'm just going to roll with it and trust the chef. Vegan cheese sauce continues to be the best I've had (can I buy it by the quart? Because I would). If you're not sure about the cauli slice just do it, it's awesome. I am so happy this is in the neighborhood. read more

I've driven by this place a few times and my boyfriend and I were craving pizza on Saturday, so we decided to try it. It wasn't bad, but if you're expecting layers of cheese, tomato sauce, and toppings you'll be left disappointed, as it's really just a thin layer of cheese / toppings / sauce on top of a bunch of bread (see second pic). The bread was also pretty chewy and not easy to bite through, so we didn't get through much of it. Also felt like it was wildly overpriced for what we got. Again, not bad, but definitely did not scratch the pizza itch. read more

Crust changed completely, wouldn't get again. Big drop off from the early days with Noah.

They've set up this new restaurant beautifully. The whole shtick about running out of dough every evening and first-come-first-serve only, etc. It's all set up very smartly. You walk to the back to the joint and there's this nice little pizza window down this quaint alley-way. The people lined up from the small order station down the alley and around the bend. All great touches, for sure. We tried a bunch of stuff being our first visit. The pizza and sandwich were both decent. I'm glad they offer one vegetarian pizza and one vegetarian sandwich. I think the greens on there are a bit on the bitter side. It was fine... Overall good stuff! And whatever you say, brilliant set up on the business model and delivery. read more

So my brother wanted to go here. I'm not gonna lie I was not excited. Boy was I wrong! This isn't your average pizzeria. They don't do average things to their pizza. I had a slice called the fig and pig which was amazing! I also had a slice called the apple of my pie. Look all I'm gonna say is go check this place out. I'll definitely be back. The crust was very light and airy so after 3 slices I didn't feel like I was gonna explode. Definitely a hidden gem. Possibly one of the best tasting pizza slices I've had. read more

This spot has the best Sicilian square slice in Chicago hands down and could make a case for the best pizza in Chicago. The slice is way more than pizza--this is a great food item that combines the nuanced flavors you would see at a great restaurant and the baking expertise you would find at some of the city's best bakeries. The crust has a crisp bottom and an impossibly airy and open middle. You can tell that the folks behind here are adding a level of baking/culinary skill that you definitely don't see in your average pizza spot. And it's food that's highly crave-able. Case in point--I had the pepperoni and supreme slices and immediately went up to order more to go because I knew I would be craving them later. Sadly I couldn't wait until I got home to finish them off. The spot is located in an alley near empty bottle and it's really cool how they set it up. There's a window, a few tables, a big beer fridge and tons of cool hanging plants. Can't wait to come back to U.K. village and have it again. read more
