Pizano’s Pizza & Pasta blends classic Italian recipes and fresh takes on traditional fare in one satisfying menu. The son of Pizzeria Uno founder and deep dish creator Rudy Malnati Sr., Pizano’s owner Rudy Malnati Jr. knows what makes an Italian dish truly delicious; high-quality ingredients, authentic recipes, and excellent service. Bowls of seafood marinara and chicken alfredo share menu space with bubbling deep dish pizza and Pizano’s award-winning thin crust pizza, a favorite of critics and visitors alike, including Oprah Winfrey, who featured the restaurant on her show. Located in the heart of Jeweler’s Row, the Madison Street location embodies historic Chicago dining, as timeless songs by Sinatra and Martin fill the air while diners gaze at numerous photos of famous athletes and entertainers line deep, rich wooden walls.

The 4 of us think our server was the WORST waitress ever! Had to ask for silverware and napkins which she seemed annoyed that we grabbed them for ourselves. And she brought out the pizza and insisted she serve it and we told her no because we were waiting for our daughter and her boyfriend to return since waitress said pizza would be 45 minutes and instead it took 20! The final straw was we asked for water and she yelled back at us that she was talking to an older man who’s been there for 40 years and it was rude of us to interrupt her conversation! She did NOT deserve a 10 tip and we would never return to this restaurant unless she no longer worked there! Our one night in Chicago and we wish more than anything we picked a different restaurant because we’ve never seen such a crazy and unstable person as your waitress!

We had Cesar Salad, Mark’s Special, and Olive Oil And Garlic Pasta. The food was delicious, I liked their Christmas Deco and the environment. Chach made customers feel welcomed. Thank you

Always a Chicago classic, original of the deep dish pies, homemade pastas. Sausage and peppers appetizer is the best with butter and garlic sauce. Don’t sleep on the chopped salad , it’s big, good. We like sitting in the bar area with the tvs to watch games etc, the rest is quaint , typical , aren’t for bigger tables.

Fabulous Chicago pizza with a superb buttery crispy crust, lots of meat, great service, a bit loud but that’s ok adds to the ambience of this great place! Had a deep dish and thin crust pizza both excellent, came out quicker than expected. Can’t go wrong here!!

We had a reservation and didn’t get seated until 45 minutes after it. We ended up ordering drinks and food from the bar because the wait was so long.
