Piece Pizzeria and Brewery

Piece sits right on North Avenue in Wicker Park and brings something a little different to the Chicago pizza conversation, New Haven style, thin and crispy, cut into pie shapes the way it should be rather than squares. The space is big, sunlit during the day, and feels like the kind of place built for groups, sports on TV, that kind of relaxed gathering energy. We got the white clam pizza, which had a good amount of garlic and a briny hit from the clams that worked really well with the thin crust. We also tried the bacon and onion, simple but done with care, and a goat cheese dip on the side that ended up stealing a little of the spotlight from the pizza itself. Someone at the table got the fried chicken pizza with hot sauce drizzled on top, and it had a real kick to it without being unbearable, the crust holding up nicely under everything piled on. The beer list here is a big part of the draw too, they brew their own on site, and the Kolsch in particular was light and crisp, a good match for the richer toppings on the pizza. It's a popular spot, especially on weekends, so expect a short wait, but the room is big enough that turnover happens quickly even when it's full.

Every time I go to Chicago, I stop at Piece. Thin crust New Haven style pizza. Much better than the deep dish Chicago is known for. Beers are excellent. The Golden Arm Kolsch is fantastic. The pie in the photo is Hot Doug's Atomic Pizza. Tremendous!

Top-tier pizza and beer in the best location. Right in the heart of Wicker Park, this place is phenomenal. The space is huge with plenty of seating, and the vibe works whether you’re stopping in for a casual drink or settling in for a full meal. The beers are solid across the board — the Camel Toe was my personal favorite — but the pizza is absolutely the star of the show. You have to try the Atomic Doug. The red sauce is fantastic and the spicy sausage has the perfect kick. Also, the sizes are deceiving in the best way possible. The pizzas come out on what feels like literal baking sheets — a medium here could easily feed what an XL would anywhere else. Will definitely be back… often.

Piece Pizza: Where our 16-year love story started, and honestly, the pizza is still the hottest thing here. Back in Chicago for our anniversary, and the vibe is still immaculate. Incredible service, and the spinach, tomato dip is a MUST. Just a warning: these pizzas are NOT playing around. The "medium" is a mountain of deliciousness. Could've gotten a small, but hey, leftovers for breakfast! We’ll be back much sooner next time. See you then. 🍕❤️

Portions are good for sharing, spacious restaurant. Can get busy but table turnover seemed to be pretty fast. Hot Doug's Atomic for a red pizza option and Honey Butter Fried Chicken for a white pizza option are the best choices!

I was looking forward to some hot pizza and a cold salad but got a cold pizza and a warm salad because some genius thought it was a good idea to have a guy on an electric scooter make multiple deliveries. Not only that, but the pizza was trashed because it was delivered by a guy on an electric scooter riding over 1.5 miles away holding multiple pizzas. Unless you live next door, don’t order delivery. We paid over $100 for this slop. Ridiculous.

Great New Haven style pizza. Always have a nice beer selection to choose from, brewed in house. Nice big space and a large bar to sit at. Definitely worth a visit while in town.

Great New Haven style pizza Specifically the white clam pizza was great. I’ve had the atomic Doug before as well and that one is amazing with the sausage and caramelized onions.
