Chicago’s Best Tavern-Style Thin-Crust Pizza Restaurants

"When the first Dicey’s opened in Nashville, some customers claimed it would be one of the better tavern pizzerias in Chicago. They were right, as the pizzeria just replaced the Parson’s Chicken & Fish in West Town (they share the same owners). The crusts are very thin — to the point where asking pizzas to be cooked “well done” would be a mistake. The toppings are fresh and traditional. Service is chaotic, at least in the early going, even during downtimes. Management must work this out, so don’t be surprised if you have to wait. But if you’re looking for solid pizza with plenty of natural wines and beer, in a space that doesn’t feel like an old-school pizzeria, Dicey’s is the place. Shout out to the vegan option, called the Earth Crisis, a tribute to the vegan hardcore band topped without cheese and plenty of veggies." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
