About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Charming
  • Kid-friendly
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.

    We had a great time at Pizano's! I took my sister there to celebrate her birthday. The ambiance was perfect, our waitress Charley was SPECTACULAR, and they even sang happy birthday to my sister and it wasn't awkward. I had the linguine and clams in red sauce and my sister had the personal deep dish cheese pizza, with cheesy garlic bread to start out the dinner. Everything was hot, delicious and served promptly.

    We absolutely LOVED Pizanos. The Chach was an incredible waiter, so fun and full of life!! Yola made amazing cocktails....pomegranate martinis and old fashioneds! The calamari was good and the deep dish pizza was great! We are huge fans of this place now and feel like family now! We will make a point to visit every time we are in the city! Cheers to Chach!!!!

    We wanted something with atmosphere, but we got sat in a weird side room with no noise at all, really small, not in main restaurant. Pizza was not good, too much wine in sauce, dough was awful. Calamari was amazing. But we came for the pizza. Disappointing first experience in Chicago and eating Chi town pizza.

    Phenomenal place for deep dish pizza! We were just there for the day and this restaurant fit in with our plans. The restaurant was an incredible find. The food was excellent and so was the service. We mentioned we were from out of town and the waitress even gave us a postcard! Can’t recommend enough.
