A forevah favorite!

by megincolo

This was a Thursday night tradition when we lived in Chicago. Luved the pizza, and the little pieces they cut it into. We had the same waitress every time, she does have a reserved personality but we dug her and always tipped well. I miss Bricks

• Pros: pizza and beer
• Cons: cant you smoke outside for petes sake?

first our ceasar salads came without dressing and the waitress insisted there was dressing and that we just wanted more but i assure you there was 0. none. Then are pizza came cut into many many pieces we thought that it was delivered to the wrong table. Their was a young childrens party there. I personally like my pizza or dish i order the same as it was the last time i ordered it unless otherwise specified. rude attitude again. very dissappointing.

This Old Town gourmet pizzeria is an alternative to the deep-dish joints downtown.

In Short
Bricks looks and feels like a neighborhood watering hole, from the funky Elvis mural to the extensive beer selection at the bar. It serves gourmet pies with combinations like the Painful (spicy pepperoni, red onion, garlic and jalapenos) and the veggie-topped Brickhouse, which skips tomatoes in exchange for artichoke puree. Other pies include barbecued chicken pizza: chicken breast on wheat crust with red onion, barbecue-tomato sauce, mozzarella and smoked Gouda.

Best pizza in the world

by frotteurism

I had the barbeque chicken pizza, then came back twice in the next four days just to have it again. I've never had a better pizza. Anywhere. Ever.

• Pros: Food
• Cons: Door hard to find

Go for the Pain!

by elstevo

The Painful Pizza with garlic, red onion, pepperoni, and jalapeno pepper is one of Chi-town's best. Always go easy on the cheese...

Bricks is the BEST

by sgm13

Great chill place, with amazing pizza. It is a little pricey for pizza but worth it. The wine by the glass is not very good but the beers are.

• Pros: great pizza, great salads, Good beer selection
• Cons: Alcohol is Pricey, Need more appetizers, Wine / glass bad

The Skinny on the Thinny

by dtroller

Without a doubt, the BEST thin pizza in town. They're only open after 5:00p, but you won't find a better crust/sauce combination in town. For the adventurous, try the Painful...Pepperoni, Garlic, Onion and Jalapeno!!!

• Pros: Inexpensive, Great Pizza, Super Ambiance
• Cons: Small seating

It's hidden in a garden level of an old building and not very obvious, but when you find it, you will love it. They have some interesting gourmet pizzas along with the usual toppings. The atmosphere is wonderfully eclectic, yet warm and inviting.
