The best pizza in the city, hands-down. I always take visiting guests here to give them a true Chicago pizza experience. Also love the decor and vibe, such a throwback

AMAZING cracker crust pizza!!! Went yesterday with friends and we split the Deluxe Sausage & Pepper pizza. It was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. It was so good we actually ordered it in today and the cracker crust held up perfectly. We ordered the Vodka Meatball pizza and it was also fantastic. Cannot recommend it enough! I didn’t get pictures either time because it looked too good and had to dig in.

Had a great visit to Professor pizza slice and pie on Grand Ave. The pizza was amazing and the space was really cool. It’s also BYOB at the moment so that was great for me and my group. Cheers!
