Step into Lakeview's Bonci, where Roman-style pizza is served by the slice, featuring unique toppings and a fun pay-by-weight twist in a breezy, casual spot.
"Bonci serves Roman-style pizza “al taglio,” meaning cut (with scissors) when you order and sold by weight at the counter. The crust is airy and thick like focaccia, and the pizza doesn’t have very much sauce so the toppings are the focus. There are around 12 rotating varieties, and you’ll see combinations like potato with rosemary, mushroom and sausage, and ‘nduja with ricotta. Even if it sounds strange, it works. And compared to the one in the West Loop, this location is much bigger and has a large side patio." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"The original Bonci is in the West Loop (well, technically Rome), but they just opened another location in Lakeview. The counter-service pizzeria serves Roman-style pizza that’s cut with scissors when you order and sold by weight. There’s a variety of options, and toppings change regularly." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
"Bonci, a fabled Italian pizzeria from Rome, is opening its third Chicago location in Lakeview. Known for its artisan rectangular slices sold by weight, Bonci offers a unique pizza experience where customers select their portion size. The new location is set to open on Thursday, April 18." - Ashok Selvam
