Paula & Monica's Pizzeria

New to the area. Walked by one day and thre place was hoping. First experience here I ordered the veggie thin crust. All the ingredients were fresh, perfect amounts of sauce and cheese. The owner is super nice too. Cares about his product and takes pride in his food. He may be from Ecuador, but he cooks like he's from Italy! We definitely found our go to local pizza shop. Can't wait to try the other menu items.

Randomly had to hit a laundromat while visiting Chicago and while I was there I noticed a Lil restaurant called Paula and Monica's across the street..by far the best pizza I've had in a very long time. Maybe best ever. Really nice owner and cozy dining area. Go check them out, you'll love it!!

Fantastic pizza! I’ve been going here for months - the cheese and sauce are delicious. The owner is incredibly nice as well. Highly recommend!

Great pizza! A tad on the greasy side but excellent flavors. Great thin crust. Not paper thin and crunchy, but just thick enough to be a little chewy. Definitely will come again and again!

Great tasting pizza. Fresh ingredients. Will order again.

Hole in the wall BYOB with generous pizza by the slice available. We ordered a whole 14 inch pie. The cheese is ample and gooey. The crust is chewy, thin, and crunchy around the edges. All together it makes for a juicy, satisfying bite. Although there are cheaper pizzas out there, this is a great middle of the road place if you want to avoid the boutiques and support a local shop.

Forgot how I came across this place a couple of years ago but it is still by far my favorite pizza in Chicago. Can't believe it took me this long to drop a review, shame on me. I usually order by the slice. An amazing crunch on the crust, the cheese melted to perfection. Paula and Monicas can do now wrong in my book!

Been going here for years. Pizza is incredible - best tasting in the area by a wide radius. Personal preference is easy cheese and well done - sometimes the middle can be a little thin/floppy but a quick crisp up on the stove and its back to A+++ status.
