Where to Eat Near McCormick Place Convention Center | Eater Chicago

"Pizano’s is among the many Chicago-based pizza chains that specialize in the art of deep-dish and is a descendent of Pizzeria Uno. Try the “Rudy’s Special,” named after founder Rudy Malnati Jr.’s late mother, Donna Marie Malnati, and is topped with mushrooms, sausage, onions, and green peppers. While the deep-dish here is solid, the buttery thin crust here was once called a favorite of Chicago native Oprah Winfrey." - Ashok Selvam

The McCormick Place Survival Guide

"Considering how many out-of-towners wander around McCormick Place, there’s a criminally negligible amount of classic Chicago pizza spots nearby. But there is Pizano’s, a local chain that’s been around since 1991 and has a location right across the street from the convention center. This spot has both thin crust and deep dish, though we’re going to suggest you go with the thin. We appreciate the buttery cracker crust, and we always order it with pepperoni. If it’s nice out, sit on the patio." - adrian kane, veda kilaru

The Purple Pig Opens New Mag Mile Restaurant in Chicago - Eater Chicago

"New Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has a lot on her plate — including deep-dish pizza. Lightfoot appeared on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Friday night, and the host’s first question was what’s her favorite deep-deep dish spot. Lightfoot responded 'it’s got to be Pizano’s' and the Sun-Times found out that her favorite specific location is at 2106 S. Indiana Street." - Daniel Gerzina

I normally don’t leave reviews on places, but my experience here was so good I had to. Firstly, the entire staff was extremely friendly. Our server, Xavier, genuinely seemed excited about the food there and gave us some great recommendations. Plus, the overall vibe was great. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. The music matched the theme of the restaurant, and the food was fantastic. This is some of the best pizza I’ve ever had my entire life. Not only that, but Xavier literally served us our first slice of pizza after he brought the food out. The staff went above and beyond, and I will definitely eat here when I’m in town again.

While I was in Chicago, I stopped by a restaurant near my hotel to grab a deep dish pizza. I wanted something I could take back to my room and unwind with after a long day. I’ve had deep dish in Chicago before and was hoping for that same wow factor—but this one was just okay. The crust didn’t quite deliver, which took away from how good the pizza could’ve been. The crust was a little too hard. One thing to note: deep dish takes about 30–40 minutes to cook, so if you’re planning to eat in, be ready for the wait. Or better yet, call ahead and place your order in advance in you plan to take out. On the bright side, the Caesar salad was a pleasant surprise. The dressing tasted homemade—can’t confirm, but it definitely had that fresh, made-from-scratch feel. Not the best pizza I’ve had in the city, but still a solid, easy meal close to the hotel.

Pizano's Pizza and Pasta – Good Food, Excellent Service I recently visited Pizano's Pizza and Pasta and had an overall positive experience. The food was decent—not the best pizza I’ve ever had, but definitely enjoyable. Prices were a bit on the higher side, but the outstanding customer service more than made up for it. The staff was friendly, respectful, and truly made me feel welcomed, which really elevated the experience. While the food may not blow you away, the way you're treated here makes it worth the visit. If you're looking for a place where good service matters, I’d definitely recommend giving Pizano’s a try.

The food here was VERY good and we definitely recommend this restaurant for an Italian meal. We ordered pastas, cheese bread and my husband got a chicken parm sandwich and fries. The fries were unique and he liked them. The portions were large and we all had leftover pastas. We saw several tables order pizzas but had already had Chicago style deep dish the day before so we went for pasta and were glad that we did. I would definitely return here if/when we visit this part of Chicago again.

If you're into Chicago style pizza, this is a good place to go. I personally am not a huge fan of extra crispy crust, but I appreciate the quality this place brings. Everything from toppings to sauce was fresh and tasted great. The atmosphere is pretty good, for its location. I would go back and try other things.

Pretty good spot in Chicago The atmosphere is very much retro with a cubs vibe the dining area can be an echo chamber with super loud parties we had a group that was very noisy at the front and was hard to hear think Started with the hostess or maybe a different role having to "explain the menu to us that the front was pizza and the back was everything else" She made sure to let us know we do not itemize or split the check. the will take multiple cards in an direct tone. Waiter was great hostess started to warm up at the end of the interaction The drinks were pretty strong I ordered a Tito's soda which was great. The appetizers were good we had the fried ravioli and just an order of fries, with authentic Chicago style pizza that was amazing, we ordered the mark and Rudy's pizza deep dish which lived up to the hype. They have paper overtop the table which did give me a paper cut but I understand with the amount of sauce they don't want stains. Overall solid place

I was in the city for a conference and ended up having dinner here with another research group. Kaia was our server and she was wonderful! I have celiac disease and I'm very sensitive to cross contamination. She knew exactly what I was talking about and assured me that they would take care of me. She also asked the rest of the table if there were any other allergies she should be aware of and made notes to let the kitchen staff know. After ordering, the manager, Eddie, came over to triple check everything with me and run me through their safety protocols. He mentioned that their employees take a course on allergens and how to handle those in the workplace. It was so refreshing to be able to eat out and not have to worry about being accidentally poisoned. I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. The food was incredible! I ended up getting the gluten free pasta with the vodka sauce and chicken. It was so good I was almost convinced it was real pasta rather than gluten free! The portion was also huge so I had leftovers for days and it was just as delicious! I also got a glass of their sweet red wine. I love a sweet red and this one was just perfect. After dinner, they checked in with me again. I really appreciated the seriousness and their dedication to ensuring that the food they serve is free of allergens. I usually feel symptoms around 30 minutes after eating if I have consumed gluten and I felt 100% fine! The staff was incredibly kind and patient with us (we were a rather large group). It makes me sad that I don't live nearby because I would be back regularly! Kaia and Eddie are incredible!
