Chicago’s Best Detroit-Style Pizzas | Eater Chicago

"This Evanston pizzeria was among the first in the Chicago metro area to specialize in Motor City pies. Inspired by the style’s birthplace, Buddy’s Pizza in Detroit, Union co-founder Vince DiBattista sought to introduce it to a new audience. The hallmarks are all evident on Union’s offerings: crisp edges, brick cheese, and tomato sauce ladled on top. Topping combinations include broccoli and potato, burrata margherita, and buffalo chicken and blue cheese, and gluten-free and vegan cheese are available upon request. The restaurant also has a lovely back patio." - Jeffy Mai

Where to Find Delicious Pizza Slices in Chicago

"Union Squared has been serving up Detroit-style pizza since 2016. Beautiful, crispy crusts that shatter with every bite and perfectly caramelized corners make their pizza emblematic of Detroit’s famous take on a pie. Union Squared offers their four cheese and pepperoni by the slice and packages them as a 5x7 unit of two uncut slices joined together, available for walk-in or call-in only." - Brandon Summers-Miller, Eater Staff

The Best Places To Eat In Evanston

"There’s a location of Union Squared in the Loop at Revival Food Hall, but the full-service restaurant version is in Evanston. The specialty here is Detroit-style pizza, which is basically a hybrid of the pan-style you get at Pequod’s and the deep dish from Lou Malnati’s (so it has a caramelized crust and sauce on top - the best of both worlds). There’s not a ton of space, but tables turn over quickly, and in the summer you can sit on the back patio." - adrian kane

Where To Eat When You’re Visiting A College Student In Chicago

"College is all about trying new things (or at least that’s what people keep telling you). So this is a good time to branch out with at least one new style of pizza. Go to Union Squared, which specializes in Detroit-style pies (basically a hybrid of the pan-style ones you get at Pequod’s, and the deep dish from ). There’s not a ton of space here, but hopefully it’s still nice enough outside that you can sit on the back patio." - adrian kane

I don’t normally leave reviews but the service I received from Erik at Union Squared was next level. From the moment I walked in Erik made me feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. Every detail, every interaction- just flawless. It wasn’t just great service, it was the kind of experience that sticks with you. Erik went above and beyond in every possible way. Attentive without being overbearing, friendly without being fake, and incredibly knowledgeable. I honestly can’t remember the last time I felt this impressed by someone’s professionalism and passion for what they do. I’ll be returning just because of Erik. Union Squared is lucky to have him and so are the customers who get to be on the receiving end of his exceptional service. Do yourself a favor and go- and make sure you ask for Erik. You won’t regret it.

I insisted on treating my friends, lifelong Chicagoland residents, to the experience,...and they came away wowed like so many others. The fresh and tasty toppings on the perfectly baked dough were a wonderful accompaniment to the pleasant atmosphere. ( They even sport a bocce court!) Absolutely worth paying a visit, hopefully they will soon offer mail-order pies!

Delicious Detroit style pizza with good options for combinations. I didn’t see a way to make your own pie, but there are plenty of choice to choose from and some side salads to add also. The cheese crust is awesome which makes the corner piece the best. Loved the godfather pizza but would be even better if there was optional hot peppers or giardinara.

The BEST pace to eat outdoors in Evanston! Killer Detroit-style pizza and salads. My recs are the Chopped Salad and The Clincher pizza—cupped pepperoni, pickled jalapeños, & Mike’s hot honey. Solid beer & wine list along with a few cocktails. Bocce out back while you wait for your table. Reservations on Resy are available for parties 6 & larger. There are a handful of tables inside too & a brisk carry out area. If you need anything at Union Squared, ask for my guy, Andy!

I had this place on my list for awhile. I finally got a change to try it out yesterday and was thoroughly impressed. We had the Godfather. The square-shaped crust was thick and crispy on the outside, yet light and fluffy on the inside. The buttery flavor of the crust was simply mouthwatering. They are not stingy with the toppings. I wasn’t impressed with the warm chocolate chip blondie. I wish it was softer. Service was good. I would definitely go back.

Pizza was really good, but I wouldn't say it's quite Detroit style, as only the edges were a bit crispy. Traditional Detroit style is usually crispy on the sides and bottom, pretty much the entire exterior, while the center is nice and fluffy. But, for Chicago, this was one of my top 3 favorites.

We had a great time at Union Squared. The Detroit style pizza is excellent as was the spinach artichoke dip. Very nice craft beer selection. The hidden patio in back is very welcoming and comfortable. The staff is friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be going back to Union Squared soon!

Came to visit this establishment, I’m from Texas so I take my food VERY seriously. 🧐 Everything I tried was delicious!! When I say the service there is unmatched… I mean it. We went on a busy Tuesday afternoon. There was only one server on the floor (ONE!!), and he handled it with much grace, care, and charisma. Eric, thank you for taking care of our family on our visit to Chicago!!!! We will be back!!! If you decide to visit this restaurant, request Eric!! You won’t regret it 😉
