Best Pizza Bars in Near North

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had lunch at Zarella yesterday and really enjoyed it! We tried three different tavern-style pizzas with different toppings, and all three were excellent. My favorite was the pepperoni and sausage, but you really couldn’t go wrong with any of them. Our waitress, Evan, was wonderful. She was so sweet, friendly, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. One tip: definitely make reservations before going. This place is really popular and always packed, and it’s easy to see why once you try the food. If you’re planning a trip to Chicago, put Zarella on your list. It’s definitely worth a stop, especially if you love a good tavern-style pizza. We’d absolutely go back!

Everything was delicious - we had the focaccia (I’m so glad I learned not to skip it from other reviews. It’s out of this world!) chopped salad, a pizza with pepperoni and garlic, and the cannoli pie. Left absolutely stuffed but it was worth it!

Always my fav place to take friends and family out of town!

Amazing food. Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had! The crust tastes like real pizza crust.

We just had drinks and the service and drinks were wonderful. My wife and sister-in-law had strawberry lemon drops and me and my brother-in-law had ice cold Modelo. Everything was awesome and the next time I'm in Chicago for the weekend I'll be back.
