Pat's Pizza

Best thin crust pizza in downtown Chicago! I have been enjoying Pat's Pizza for over 20 years and have never been disappointed. Whenever I have served it for a work lunch or a party I always get asked to order again for next function. Service and delivery have always been excellent - whether at lunch, dinner or that late night craving. Plan ahead since they do get busy and sometimes need up to an hour to deliver.

So I couldn't decide if I wanted a Pat's Special that come with sausage, onions, peppers and mushrooms OR DOUBLE sausage. Then it struck me....I'll get both! This is half of each that is left after I took this photo. See this location has personal sizes for usually under 9 bucks each. That gets you a free can of soda too. So for 20 bucks I didn't have to decide. I hot both. Now full disclosure this NOT THE ORIGINAL PAT'S. They are up near Lincoln Park. However this place licenses the name and formula for the crust so it's a close second. YES there is a formula to a crispy light strong enough to hold toppings crust. Pat's has perfected that crust. The thinnest crisp crust allowed to support topping. I took my picky brother here. He ordered double sausage AND pepperoni. I was worried the crust wouldn't support that weight but I was way wrong. For me a pizza should stand on a CRISP CRUST not piled high with sauce that makes everything soggy (cough cough Lou M and big G on a bad day). A crust should crack and crunch when you bite into it without crumbling. They do that here. I will not down YOUR FAVORITE but this is mine. Lincoln Park doesn't do personal size, is far and the hours aren't really conducive to anyone not in that neighborhood but it's a great date place unlike the State street local, more designed to grab and go! So if you are in the south loop, hankering for a decent ZAA, stop by for a personal or whatever size you like. Soda can not shown, I drank them but if you must know I had Root Beer and Ginger Ale. Perfect choices for me when no beer Available which YOU CAN GET in Lincoln Park.

In the land of world renowned pizza this one ranked basic which means typical(good).Its a small family owned take out only place that’s been in the same location many years.Ingredients good quality. Service good. Parking for pick up difficult. Pricing expensive.Note a large pizza pats special $35 with tax.
