Tried the tavern and Artisan pizza. Artisan had a little flop and little greasy but a pit with the crust and it was very good. Also a solid Chicago tavern style. Server was very good

Margherita pizza traditional style was amazing. Cheese stick appetizer was pretty good, too (not greasy at all)! I would skip tavern style though and go with the traditional style. The service was great, as well. Our table wasn’t ready immediately, but they were very attentive and offered us a drink and waitress was great! Would recommend and return.

The tavern style pizza is amongst the best in the city and possibly the top dog. Great ambiance and service. Will definitely be back.

10/10 The tavern style pizza is the best I've ever had. Sauce, cheese, crust ratio was prefect. Less is more. Simplicity at its best! Sunday salad, cheese sticks, and pasta alla vodka didn't miss either. I can't wait to go back.
Zarella Pizzeria & TavernaRespuesta enviada hoy
Wow — thank you Joseph so much for this incredible review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that our tavern-style pizza was the best you've ever had. We put a lot of care into getting that sauce, cheese, and crust ratio just right, so it's wonderful to know it stood out. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we can’t wait to have you back again soon for another fantastic meal. Warmly, Deanna

Calamari an Zucchini and pizzas were good. Cocktails and ambiance were the scene. Wait staff service is a bit disjointed for the time they've been open and the outstanding Boka reputation.

Overall a good experience. The dining room is beautiful with a lively bar, packed with people enjoying their great food. We had seven people in our party and the restaurant team was gracious enough to provide additional seating for our table (originally a part of five). There were a couple of small issues with service. Server rang the wrong pizza, forgot the water for two of our party and never pre- bussed a single dish. The fried zucchini was amazing, crispy and perfect. Fried mozzarella was good, large portion and perfectly cooked although I wouldn’t order it again as it’s just another fried cheese stick. The gigante beans were good and tasty. Little gem salad was a treat with a slightly sweet vinaigrette, crispy fresh lettuce, little cubes of cheese and meat and the surprise hit some small macaroni tossed in. Excellent! We ordered three tavern style pizzas. The sorpressata, mortadella, the mushroom and the carbonara. All three were great. The sorpressata was very hot and spicy and we would have preferred a little less honey. Still tasty though. The mushroom was a hit and finished with a little bbq sauce that landed well. The carbonara was salty, crunchy, cheesey and delish. We were expecting egg and didn’t see that so not sure if we just read the description wrong or if it was a miss from the kitchen. The crust was paper thin and delicious and overall the pizzas were delicious. Well done! I’ll be back to try some more flavors and the other style of pizza as we saw several go by the table and they looked amazing. Thank you.

Our server might have been new. A lot of mistakes and took a bit for the food to arrive. It even took 10-15 minutes for a glass of wine to come to the table. I had to ask for it and I feel uncomfortable to ask since I can tell the place was busy.
