"Chicago-style tavern pizza is marked by a thin crust and square slices. It’s not as well known outside of the Windy City as its deep-dish counterpart, a fact that Wedgewood-Houston’s Dicey’s Tavern is aiming to fix. Pies range from classic (pepperoni or sausage) to creative, like a cacio e pepe pizza adorned with Parmesan cream and cracked black pepper or one loaded with hot pickles, bacon, and cheddar. Pair your party-cut pizza with a beer-and-shot combo like a local Bearded Iris IPA and whiskey, or Chicago brethren Hopewell and Malört." - Ellen Fort
"Dicey’s serves Chicago tavern-style pizza, and though they recently expanded to the Windy City, they were born right here. The best thing on the menu is The Hippy Flip, a white pie littered with long stems of charred green onions and a healthy sprinkle of lemon juice. The citrusy notes of the pie are perfect alongside an Easy Peasy Lemon Freezee cocktail that tastes like spiked soft Italian ice. For pepperoni purists, head straight to tiny cups pooling spicy honey and a black pepper and wild oregano mix called the Peppy Boy. It’s totally worth the sticky knuckles that are inevitable when digging out a piece of their party-cut, toppings-all-the-way-to-the-edge thin crust. Relax in the red gingham-clad family-friendly building or let the kids run around the back patio and order something off their natural wine list." - ann walczak
"Dicey’s Tavern isn’t just known for its excellent Chicago-style thin-crust tavern pizza. This Wedgewood-Houston spot also has a sunny and spacious outdoor patio punctuated by green picnic tables with umbrellas for sitting a spell and scarfing down a pepperoni or cacio e pepe pizza. Pair your party-cut pizza with a beer and shot combo or take a cue from the warmer weather and cool off with one of their rotating frozen drinks." - Kellie Walton
"The indoor-outdoor space at Dicey’s is almost as fun and vibrant as the pizza toppings. The Peppy Boy, their signature tavern-style pie, is the obvious choice here—made with hot honey and pepperonis that crisp and curl up and look like little cups. And, when your kids really want to break away, load them up with buffalo wings and let them play ping pong outside while you nurse a glass of pinot on the patio (and maybe another slice of pepperoni)." - adam sloan
"The family tree that includes Parson's Chicken & Fish, Lonesome Rose, and Milk Room is growing a new branch. Dicey’s, a tavern-style pizzeria from that group, has taken over the Ukrainian Village location of Parson’s. Expect plenty of natural wine and party-cut thin crust pies with toppings like sausage and giardiniera or vodka sauce, scamorza, and roasted red peppers." - veda kilaru
