My favorite thin crust pizza in Chicago, or anywhere else!

by dtp75

The pizza here keeps me coming back. It is absolutely delicious! The Caesar salad is the best I've ever had too. The pizza does take a long time to make...at least half an hour, so be prepared for that. Since the food is amazing, I am willing to put up with the service, which is not very good. I wouldn't recommend take-out pizza, or pizza by the slice, it's just not the same as the fresh out of the oven. It's true that it doesn't reheat well too. You've got to try this pizza though, it's the best.

• Pros: The best thin crust pizza out there!
• Cons: The service is subpar.

Avoid unless you want overpriced pizza/food and horrible service

After running through the relatively good reviews about this pizza place, we decided to try it out. Being from out of town, we were all excited to have a taste of good Chicago pizza. But was greatly disappointed by the food and service! The slices of pizza were overpriced for their average quality and didn't reheat up great at all. Our party of five waited a good while for our food to come, despite the fact there wasn't even that many people in the place. The waitress neglected our drink refills and forgot our second orders. After giving us our food, the only time we saw her next was for the bill that ridiculously included the tip already (probably why she didn't feel the need to care). Definitely would not recommend!

The next day we decided to test our luck again at another Chicago pizza place known for their thin-crust. The place Piece in Bucktown helped make up for our disappointment at Renaldi's. The pizza was great!

• Cons: Food, service, tip policy

Without a doubt the best thin pizza in Chicago!

After stuffing myself full of food in this neighborhood - I was house sitting for the weekend - I called it a night by taking out a slice of pizza from Renaldi's. I've lived in Chicago for 5 years and haven't found a better piece (thin crust/new york style) of pizza though Piece competes admirably. Another person in my group had the deep dish and it wasn't as well received. Regardless, I'll be making my way back to Renaldi's on a regular basis!

• Pros: NY Style/Thinner Crust Pizza was Delicious!!!
• Cons: The counter person was off, parking could be tough, thick crust wasn't as well received though decent
