"A longtime South Side staple beloved for tavern-style pies: thin, crisp-edged crusts cut into squares and cherished by neighborhood regulars." - Stephanie Gravalese
"Vito and Nick’s has been around since the 1950s and is a Southside institution worthy of its place in the Chicago Pizza Hall of Fame (which doesn’t actually exist but probably should). Their specialty is cracker-crust pizza, which is super thin and crispy, with bubbly browned cheese and spicy tomato sauce." - nick allen, adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor
"This classic pizza spot is offering takeout for its tavern-style pies." - adrian kane
"The institution has long been praised as the king of tavern-style pizza. In a town where deep dish gets all the buzz, Vito & Nick’s still manages to garner national recognition for its thin, crunchy crusts, topped with everything from fennel sausage and ground beef to shrimp and anchovies. It’s a must-visit not just for pizza lovers, but every Chicagoan. Make sure to bring cash and order a pint of Old Style." - Ashok Selvam
"Deep dish gets a lot of national attention, but people who live here know that Chicago’s legendary cracker-style thin crust can’t be ignored. And that’s what you’ll find at Vito and Nick’s. This southside institution has been around since the 1950s. Their pizza is super thin and crispy, with bubbly browned cheese and a spicy tomato sauce. Inside, it’s a dive: drop ceilings, neon beer signs, and wood-paneled walls. And we hope that never changes." - nick allen, john ringor, adrian kane
