Bartoli's Pizzeria - Chicago
Bartoli's Pizzeria
Description
Bartoli’s Pizzeria draws both devotion and disappointment. Its signature deep-dish and thin-crust pies win praise for generous toppings, chunky seasoned sauce and a sturdy crust, plus gluten-free options, BYOB and friendly, efficient staff. Ambiance is warm and well‑decorated with owner hospitality and celebratory touches. Experiences vary—some found pies cold or bland and appetizers soggy, and pickup can be busy. Worth trying for Chicago‑pizza seekers, but temper expectations.

The pizza from this place was quite good! We ordered half of Bartoli's Chicago Classic and half of the Diavolo. The Diavolo has a definite kick to it, so a heads-up for anyone who’s sensitive to spice. The toppings on both halves were generous and not lacking at all. Overall, it was a tasty thin crust that makes me want to order from them again! There are some appealing items on their menu that I would love to try!
The gluten-free pizza is fantastic! I didn’t experience any allergic reactions, which is a huge plus. The chicken wings are delicious as well. However, the real standout is the ranch dressing!
I did an online order for pickup, and the pizza was ready before the promised time. I did show up way earlier and just sat down and patiently waited. This place gets really busy with pickup orders. At least about 10 people within a 10-15 minute window. The staff was great. Very friendly and efficient. I did enjoy seeing The Blues Brothers wall as well. It seemed to be a fan favorite. I ordered a large Deep Dish with Italian sausage. The pizza was definitely big and very filling. The crust was cooked perfectly and just the perfect amount of cheese and sausage. The sauce stood out to me the most. Nice and chunky, acidic and seasoned perfectly. Very flavorful which made the rest of the pizza stand out. I'll definitely need to ask for more sauce when I return.
The customer service was great, the place was clean and the pizza was AMAZING! As a NY'er I'm always looking for good pizza and have yet to find a place that exceeds my expectations in Chicago. This pizza is a 10/10 and will definitely be coming back.
Bartoli 's remains my favorite neighborhood pizza joint, especially for their unique deep dish and affordable prices. While so many places have raised prices to the point where a pizza costs most than a steak dinner $30+ for a thin crust cheese pie??? , Bartoli 's keeps the prices reasonable and the quality high. Their New York style is serviceable, perhaps not quite on the level of say Zaza 's or Paulie Gee 's Wicker Park, but certainly a nice alternative, especially when slices are available. For me, it 's their deep dish, easily the most underrated in the city. Skip Lou 's. Always skip Giordano 's. This is the best deep dish crust, with excellent, pully cheese and a less sweet, slightly tangy sauce. I don 't eat deep dish much, but every month or so I get a craving for Bartoli 's and it never disappoints. Honestly, you could make a hell of an appetizer out of the crust and the sauce, it 's that good. Looking forward to enjoying this delightful cheat meal for years to come!
