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!

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.

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!

We just ordered pick up, but there was some seating available for those that wanted to dine-in. All of the tables were occupied and there were groups of people waiting. The operation in the back was a little hectic since they were busy, but the person at the counter was still very friendly and made sure to provide great customer service. The pizza was good. We ordered one tavern style and one Chicago style. Their Chicago style was on par with a many of traditional Chicago establishments. Overall it's a pretty solid option.
