Piece Brewery

"Piece in Wicker Park holds its own with its New Haven-style pies, which have a soft and chewy crust, lots of red sauce, and parmesan cheese instead of mozzarella (so no gooey cheese bombs here, unless you ask for them). As a bonus, Piece is also a brewery that makes some solid beer." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor

"Piece is usually packed with a high-energy atmosphere which makes it kind of a chore to find a table on the weekends. This is a proper brewpub with IPA and lagers available in growlers for home consumption. But wait, should we talk about the pizza? Customers will find New Haven-style pizza. Pies can be inconsistent during high-volume times, but when it’s on, it’s on." - Ashok Selvam

"Piece is a pioneer along North Avenue, predating most restaurants near Wicker Park’s Six Corners. The specialty is New Haven, Connecticut thin crusts. When the pizza is on, it’s delicious — but Piece gets busy and consistency can hinder any big-volume operation. Still, the pizza is unique for Chicago, there are plenty of TVs, and the city takes the beer for granted. Piece is a bonafide brewpub with lagers and ales which consistently get recognition." - Eater Staff

"New Haven pizza specialists collaborating with Wieners Circle for a pizza benefiting PAWS." - Ashok Selvam

"The place is usually packed and there’s often a wait, but it’s easy to understand why people love the pies at Piece. The New Haven-style thin crust pizzas can be customized with red or white sauce and topped with an enormous list of eclectic ingredients, including mashed potatoes, artichoke hearts, broccoli, clams, and meatballs. Also check out the special pizzas featuring Doug Sohn’s (Hot Doug’s) Atomic Sausage and Honey Butter’s fried chicken. Online ordering is available here." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
