Postmates Orders Reveal the Best Pizza in Chicago
When you’re riding the L home after a long day of work, just coming back from a night of barhopping in Logan Square, or catching a Bears game with friends on a lazy Sunday — there’s a good chance you’ll want some hot, steamy… pizza delivery.
Deep dish pizza may be Chicago’s claim to fame, but when Postmates took a look at the most ordered pizza delivery places across the city, we noticed that Chicago likes to indulge in a range of popular pizza types — including New York-style.
And since Chicago’s pizza is practically in its own food group, we pulled together a list of some of the most sought-out pizza delivery spots available right now on Postmates. Take a look, and let us know if we missed any of your favorites:
Sarpino’s Pizzeria
Let’s talk about sauce. Midwesterners and Chicagoans specifically love their extra sides of sauce. So when you place a “Create Your Own Pizza” order from Sarpino’s on Postmates and the first question they ask is: “Which dip would you like?”…you know they mean business. With 11 sauce options (four of which are some sort of ranch), they don’t even ask if you want to add toppings until question number three.
Pete’s Pizza Chicago
Chicago may be known for its deep dish pizza, but sometimes ya gotta break from tradition to keep things fresh. Enter: Pete’s Pizza. Here it’s all about thin crust pizza that you get to personalize with over 50 customizable options. They let you choose your toppings (grilled Italian sausage and marinated mushrooms are some of the highlights) and how it’s served; you can even ask them to leave your pizza unsliced. Whatever floats your boat, Chicago.
Bacci Pizzeria
Some let you choose your sauce, some let you choose your toppings… but Bacci’s claim to fame is letting you choose your crust. Extra-thin and crispy, butter garlic, olive oil and basil, and ‘stuffed crust’ are just a few of the delicious options. Bacci also gives you a broad and diverse range of topping types you can pile onto your pie; shrimp, zucchini, and artichoke hearts are a few of the many options. Last but not least, if you’re gonna do it right then you know no order is complete without a side of Bacci’s mozz sticks.
Blaze Pizza
We already talked about dips, so now it’s time to cover the sauce that actually goes on the pizza. When you build your own pizza with Blaze, you can custom order your pie with no sauce, red sauce, red sauce dollops, spicy red sauce, or white cream sauce. Actually, Blaze lets you personalize every single part of your pie — not just the toppings. Once you elect the sauce, you choose the dough, then the cheese (they even have goat cheese), the meats, the veggies, and the finishing touch — like a sprinkling of arugula or a little pesto drizzle. After polishing off one of these custom-made pies, we guarantee you’ll want an encore.
Piece Brewery and Pizzeria
For those who don’t know the characteristics of a New Haven-style pizza, let’s review: oblong shape, thin, chewy crust, unique charring, a little on the drier side. Piece does New Haven-style all the way out in Chicago like no one else can. The most popular pie on the menu is the red pizza, which comes with traditional tomato sauce and mozzarella. But you can go in and add regular or premium toppings to your heart’s content (like mashed potatoes or meatballs). What’s even more convenient about Piece is that their pies come in small, medium, and large, so you can order for yourself or serve up to a group of six with just one.
Then again, we all know any pizza’s a personal pizza if you put your mind to it.
