Sigh. I really really want to love you Apart Pizza. Really I do. But yet again, about two weeks ago, you delivered soggy pizza. I mean really soggy. Like even when I tried to bring you back to life in my toaster oven, you were still a limp noodle. All of my toppings just slide right off and I didn't even finish my pizza. My husband still loves you but I think I'm done. At least with ordering delivery. We have eaten in before and when we dig in, it's not soggy. Or at least it starts out not soggy and by the end gets that way a bit. So I think from now on, I will only be enjoying your eat in lunch special. I wish it could be different. (sniffs)
(3)Soula P.
I think this is probably great pizza when you eat in. Flavors were solid but the crust did not hold up well for delivery. Too flimsy/soggy, needed to fold it in half in order to handle.
(3)R. N.
Great pizza, nice people, some swell options for the vegetarians of the world. What else do you need really? I've ordered both delivery and take out from this place and the people I talk to are always really nice, sometimes downright personable while taking my order and, in the case of the take out experience, even after the order was in progress. The 10" personal pizza is more than enough for me and comes with a drink for just over $6. Heck yes! Typically, we order two and have some leftovers for the next day. Which, if reheated in an actual oven for a couple minutes is almost as yummy as the first time around, which I find to be a total rarity as most reheated pizza gets a weird rubbery quality on the second go around. Each time we've ordered delivery, the pizza has arrived before the quoted time is up, once in about half the time allotted. Plus, there's no delivery fee, which is pretty swell. I have heard some comments that the people on the phone and delivery folks are kind of assy, but that's been the complete and total opposite of my experience. No, they didn't blow any sunshine up my bum, but they were courteous and businesslike. For me, that'll work just fine.

Four cheeses! Four Stars! These goombahs keep it old school. Thin crust. Fuhgeddabowdit. Sucked down a pie in a flash. They'll be seeing my mug again. No booze.
(4)Zaven K.
First of all, please IGNORE the other reviewers on this site who badmouth Apart Pizza for being something other than what they expected. If you were not aware that Apart specialized in neapolitan style pizza, as opposed to Chicago style(s), then you are ignorant. The crust here is half the pleasure of the experience of eating Apart pizza. Crispy along the outer edge, with the right amount of chewiness in the middle. High quality fresh toppings and great flavor combinations make Apart a great choice for those looking for an alternative to the gut-busting pizza known to Chicagoans. Apart is fantastic.
(4)Gen S.
This pizza is a great deal! Good thin crust pizza is hard to find on the far north side and this place fits the bill. I still can't get over how cheap their pizzas are - but without sacrificing the quality of their ingredients! We've ordered from them twice now and been happy with the food and service both times. EDIT (12/16): I ran into the same problem Kate did the last time we ordered from here. 75 minutes after ordering and no pizza. We called & they said it would be another 25 minutes. 40 minutes pass - we call again & are told the driver just left. He showed up 10 minutes later. That is way too long to wait for pizza! We were told on the phone that the driver got into a car accident, which wasn't true according to the driver - I think they just lost our order. When the pizza finally got here, it had obviously been reheated and the crust was badly burned. Yuck! They did completely comp our food though, so I'll give them credit for trying to improve their customer service. 2ND EDIT (1/10): I WANT to love you, Apart Pizza. I really do. Your pizza is delicious. But your delivery service is horrible! I never get my pizza in under 2 hours. (I live a short distance away.) That is just sad. Yet I cannot stay away. Curse you!
(3)Kyle G.
My favorite pizza place in Andersonville area. I haven't been living in the area for too long, but out of the 10 or so places I've tried pizza at, it's the best. I have never been to Apart itself (only delivery), but every time I ordered it was delivered within a reasonable amount of time. There was one time where I ordered two pizzas and one was incorrect... the driver let us keep the wrong pizza and brought back our original order within 10 minutes. I love the big slices -- feels like New York City. The toppings are fresh. The pizza is hot. And the price is reasonable. 4/5 stars because they messed up my order once and there was that one time when my wife hung up the phone and said, "What an asshole!" Apparently the guy on the other end of the phone was impatient with her and not very nice. Funny how that was the order where they sent the wrong pizza.
(4)Keven S.
I have never been so happy with a pizza place that I had to write on YELP about it while Im eating it until Now. Its that damn good! This is the only pizza place in Chicago worth talking about and Ive tried many. Also the staff rocks! The people at Clarendon praise you!
(5)Annie C.
This place is SO yummy. It's real Italian style pizza - hard to find in Chicago! It's thin crust, made to order, with delicious and fresh ingredients. Try the Greca. Actually, do it now. GO! It's so good. You'll thank me. It sucks that Kate had a bad experience but I hope she gives it another shot because the pizza really is fantastic. I crave this pizza. Crave it! It's nice to have a pizza joint in the neighborhood!
(5)Tamara N.
Hello delicious, hot, cheesy, crispy pizza!! We found this place a few months before we moved out of the area and were SO SAD to leave it. A colleague recommended it to me, and boy was he on the money with this one! The pizza is so thin you can gobble up the whole pie between a few people. I also had a caprese salad once, and that was pretty good as well. If you are a fan of NY style, and like a flavored, rich tasting pie, Apart is for you!
(5)Bethany J.
I love Apart Pizza's Montrose store, so I was so excited when I heard they were coming to my neighborhood. And I haven't been disappointed. There seemed to be some problems with the store when it first opened (a few inexperienced staff members, and a few other problems that pop up when a restaurant is new) but everything seemed to sort itself out quickly. The food is great, the price is extremely affordable, and the guys that work there are helpful and courteous (especially if you happen to be a woman in the 18-40 demographic.) Being a vegetarian I'm overjoyed that there is now a pizza place in my neighborhood that has several menu items that I can eat, and all of my meat eater friends like the rest of the choices on the menu. If you like feta cheese, you should definitely try the "Greca" (the beautiful love-child of thin crust pizza and a Greek salad). Also great is the Capra-Riccola. Goat cheese and arugula never tasted so good.
(4)Mel A.
The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because my artichoke hearts on my #31 10" were piled onto 1.5 pieces of my pizza :( I got the "Vegetariana." Great thin crust. Great flavor. Great customer service. Unique ingredient combos. Free delivery. Free can of soda ;) Thanks Guys!!
(4)John D.
This place is great. Try the Apart. Great thin crust artisan pizza. Fantastic lunch deals if you live nearby.
(4)Kristie R.
I have grown to love Apart Pizza. There crust is pretty thin and the slices are quite large. Great foldable pizza! Minus one star because they're kinda expensive. I've also called for delivery 30 minutes before they take their last delivery and they said they were closed. boo
(4)Rachel B.
Wow, I can't believe how much they just jacked up their price. Their pizza is not consistent which is never a good thing. I used to order from here a lot but since they raised their prices by so much it will be much less.
(2)Nicole C.
This is by the far the best pizza I've ever had by delivery! I ordered the prosciutto pizza with a casa salad, which arrived within 45 minutes of my phone call. Although I prefer cured, not cooked, prosciutto, the pizza was GREAT. I really like how it's finished off with oregano. The casa salad is huge and loaded with fresh lettuce and vegetables. I'll be ordering my pizza from here from now on...
(4)Rex M.
Great pizza and fast delivery. Even though they said it was going to be within 1 1/2 hours, it only took about 45 min. I like the thin crust idea. Less dough makes you feel like you're eating healthy....LOL.
(5)Jeff R.
Being that this is Chicago, there's a lot of good pizza here. But there's even more "just okay" pizza. There's few places that go the extra mile, few places like Apart Pizza Co. I visited this place in Edgewater last night and lemme tell y'all: It's amazingly tasty! It's a low-key, reasonably priced establishment with quality ingredients. Delivery, take-out and dine-in. It is soooooooooo good. highly recommend.
(4)Gray G.
Thin, crispy & tasty for a low price at lunch. By recommendation of the comic gurus on Broadway, I mosied up to Apart Pizza. It was totally empty and the girl at the counter took a minute because she was jotting down a phone order. I got the lunch special, a 10" personal pizza with sausage and a fountain drink for just over $6. The crust was golden brown, the sauce was tangy and topped with just the right consistency of gooey cheese. The sausage could've been a bit spicier, nothing a few dashes of pepper chips couldn't fix. I'll be coming back for sure :)
(4)Lee C.
Three stars for now, based on my one experience with Apart. The delivery took over an hour, but I wasn't mad because they told me that upfront on the phone. I ordered the small Pizza Margharita. The price was right, and the flavor was OK, but it wasn't really a Pizza Margharita. They used shredded mozzarella instead of sliced, and I didn't see or even taste any basil. It was really just a small plain cheese pizza. My salad was good. Something with a lot of bacon I think. I'll try Apart again, and just get something else next time; whatever the special is.
(3)Kate K.
When I recently got a flier from Apart Pizza Company in the mail announcing they had opened a new restaurant in my neighborhood, I was excited. I've heard great things about the other location. However, my experience in trying them out for delivery left me very disappointed. I called and requested a 14 inch vegetariana pizza, which costs $14.75. I gave the person who answered the phone my name, address, and phone number. I advised the person that I had a $2 off coupon. When I asked for the total, I was told that it was $19.75! I asked what the delivery fee was and the person on the phone stated that delivery was free. I asked him to confirm the price of the pizza as $14.95 was correct. He said it was. I then asked if he included the $2 off coupon in the total he gave me. He said he did. I asked him if he was telling me that he was charging $5 in tax for a $12.95 order. He said that was correct. After some further discussion, he concluded he was incorrect and told me the correct total was $14.07. OK, that sounds about right. He told me the pizza would be here within 45 minutes. 75 minutes later, no pizza. I called the restaurant and they said it would be another 20 minutes. I asked them why would it was taking more than twice as long as I was told (I live 3 blocks from this place - should have gotten carryout). I was told that they did not make the pizza because they lost my phone number!!! What?! That makes no sense. I told them that at this point, it really wasn't worth the hassle and wait and requested to cancel my order. All they said was "OK.." If they had done anything to try to make this experience better, I might possibly have given this place another chance, giving them the benefit of the doubt because they are brand new to the neighborhood and maybe they are still working out the kinks. However, between their trying to overcharge me and not even trying to make up for the fact that they didn't complete my order, I highly doubt I will try them again. Too bad.
(1)steve s.
Awesome pie and friendly staff. My new favorite pizza! The crust is NYC style...
(4)Dan B.
I have finally found my perfect pizza in Chicago. I have been searching for New York style pizza, which in itself is a difficult task, that is made fresh, with fresh gourmet toppings, and a perfect thin but not crispy crust. I stumbled across Apart on yelp and did they ever deliver. I ordered a Cacciatore pizza which is covered in artery clogging deliciousness. Ham, Pepperoni, and Bacon oh my! I ate more than half of it last night, and the rest today. I was honestly a little sad that it was gone. The girl on the phone was one of the friendliest I have encountered, and delivery was quick and free! I can't wait to try some of their other creations.
(5)Nichole F.
I'm in love...I've heard so many great things about Apart Pizza and have only now tried it. I got the goat cheese and arugula pizza and it was to die for. The ingredients we all really fresh and the pizza crust was delicious. I ordered it for delivery and I think by the time it got to us it had cooled off a bit and the crust lost its crustiness throughout but I don't even care. Yum is all I can say and I really think this is the best thin crust pizza I've had in Chicago. The price is great too.
(5)Sarah Z.
Good thin crust pizza, but I think it would be better if I was able to walk in for a slice. Delivery always seems to be cold. Toppings are fresh and even though it looks like there isn't enough cheese, the ratio of topping to sauce to cheese is always perfect. Just wish it came hotter....then again, that's never stopped us from ordering when we're in the mood for cracker-thin pizza. Yum. Salads are also very fresh, and their homemade balsamic vinaigrette is the best I've ever tasted.
(3)Wendy V.
Now this is what I am talking about... this is what spacca napoli SHOULD be. I go to Rome once a year, and this is the closest we've got to the real Italian thing. cheap, the capricciosa satisfies my hankering, with an egg of course, the crust is so thin, and they have the bubbles in the crust which I love. They are so friendly and the lunch deal is insane. I love this place, can't recommend it enough, I have eaten inside the Broadway location, I don't recommend eating on the sidewalk, not much to look at, but great for take out. BRAVO! Buonissimo!
(5)annie r.
so in the 3 weeks that i've lived in andersonville, ive ordered delivery from here twice. and i'll do it again. im guessing on friday. :/ its good stuff! thin, crispy, tasty crust with yummy toppings...pretty quick delivery, one time it DID come a bit colder than i would have liked, but no big. it gets a check in my book for sure.
(4)Michael K.
This is real Italian-style pizza. It's very thin crust - not like a cracker or a flatbread, but with a crispy edge. The cheese-to-sauce balance is perfect, not overly cheesy like so many mediocre Chicago pizzas. The quality of the ingredients is obvious, and the pepperoni was especially good. I've ordered several times now, and the pizza was consistent each time. The free delivery is a nice bonus, and they are FAST.
(5)Jim D.
I read terrible reviews about delivery so I decided I'd pick up my first Apart pizza. They said 15-20 mins til it was ready when I called and ordered. I got there 15 mins after I called. Girl behind the counter said it wasn't ready. I sat right in front of the counter while 2 male employees talked and went over orders. Finally about 10 minutes later I got up and asked them if my pizzas were ready. They said which order was mine. They looked and said, 'oh yeah, those have been ready for a while now." Really? I was waiting on my pizza and they were ready most of the time I was waiting?? Why did you think I was sitting there for you twits? There were only 2 other people in the place and they were eating. Pizza was ok but not worth the ignorant service I received.
(2)Alexander C.
If you are looking for a thin crust that isn't really foldable, but is huge and thin? You have found it. They deliver to me so that is a huge plus. I recently had The Upper Crust Pizzeria downtown Boston and it was very similar to this.
(4)Greg M.
This place rules as it is my favorite thin crust pizza in all of Chicago, and it is one of the ONLY redeeming qualities about Edgewater. I'm going to keep this review short because the pizza really speaks for itself. Go eat some... now.
(5)Renee Z.
Great thin crust pizza and really good toppings. Sometimes they are skimpy with the toppings but in general they are good. Delievery is usually fast but we tend to go and pick it up.
(4)Kirk P.
Great pizza and speedy delivery but they've delivered the wrong pizza on more than one occasion.
(4)Lindsay M.
This review is more about the company philosophy than about the pizza (which, incidentally, I do heart.) I work for a theater company, and the people at Apart have gone wayyyy out of their way to donate food for our events. It's been really refreshing to have a company approach _us_ with ideas for creating community partnerships and for supporting access to the arts, especially at a time when a lot of arts resources are getting dropped. I know they work with a lot of other small arts organizations and have held fundraisers for places like Cabrini Green Legal Aid. So. I think that's a pretty cool bonus reason to order from here.

I can't understand how this place could get less than 4 stars. Its yummy, affordable, and offers free delivery. Beyond that, the employees are very nice. An awesome business.

Great pizza. Very reasonably priced. Extremely friendly both on phone and delivery. Best thin crust for the money anywhere in Chicago. Highly recommend.
(5)Susan K.
Please understand that this pizza is NOT Chicago style thin crust. Very clearly Apart states on their website that they are focused on making Italian style pizza... thin, floppy crust, with a good crispy edge on the outside, slightly charred, good flavor. So many of these reviews are slaying the restaurant for "soggy crust", but they are measuring from a Chicago Style cracker crust. Italian style pizza's are paper thin and are supposed to be a little chewy and floppy. While not the quality you might get in Italy, for a pizza place in Chicago it is as close as you'll get to the authentic italian pie. And they are tasty... I love the pepperoni, pepper, and olive pizza. And Margherita pizza in Italy is just a cheese pizza... it's only around here that we've turned it into a basil, fresh mozzarella, and tomato concept.

This place is incredible! My favorites are their goat cheese and arugula, greek, and 4 cheese. Their salads are huge, and they make some effort with them, which is a nice change from most places. Delivery can take awhile, but that is only because of their incredible popularity. They also have some wicked great lunch specials if you eat on site, though be warned they have very limited seating!

I had a wonderful experience ordering lunch for a mommy playgroup I was hosting. I called the day before to ask if I could place the order for the following day and have it delivered as early as possible, since they were opening at 11. Not only did they accomodate me in doing that, but they started early on my order and it was delivered just minutes after they had opened! I believe the delivery person even started earlier that day to help me out. They basically bent over backwards to help me. I spoke with Bianca, the owner/manager when placing the order and she spent a great deal of time with me figuring out the best deal for my money and choices that would delight both moms and toddlers. The food was AMAZING! Perfect cheese-sauce-crust ratio on all, a delicious plain margherita for the kids, and more elegant combinations for the adult palate. My only complaint is that now I will have to think of something low-energy to do for awhile since I totally overate. :)

The pizza of my youth? NJ! The pizza at Apart? Close enough! The thin, generally crispy crust topped with not-too-much sauce, just enough cheese, and tasty toppings make this my favorite pizza place in Chicago (so far). Yes, delivery can be a bit slow, but I'd rather wait for this than have national chain garbage in a half hour. And they are no slower than most local deliveries. I like that their topping selection has some variety, but is not absurd. The choices are sensible. And if you aren't sure what to get, go for the eponymous Apart combo - simply delicious!

2 stars: Excellent service: Tonight was our first time ordering from Apart and, I have to say, I was so impressed with the service. I ordered the caprese style salad and the very friendly employee informed me that, while he'd be happy to prepare that salad for me, the arugula they had available was not as good as usual. Then he recommended preparing it a different way so that I would not be disappointed... I have to say, this impressed me. It is very rare, in my experience, that an employee gives honest feedback as to the quality of the food, especially when it wasn't even solicited. I definitely appreciated being told upfront and given the option to change my order so that I wouldn't be stuck paying for a salad I'd be disappointed with. Now, to the pizza.... We ordered a medium pepperoni and green pepper pizza and, I have to say, it was delicious! Love love love the super thin crust. The ingredients were all so fresh and the sauce had so much flavor to it... I honestly can't believe we've lived in uptown as long as we have and not ordered from Apart.

I have to say that I was very excited to try Apart Pizza Co as I was looking for a great pizza joint in my neighborhood. When I moved in my management company gave me a coupon for a free pizza from them. I had this coupon for nearly a year before my gf and I were like um why have we not taken advantage of this yet?!?! So on a cold day in January we thought what a perfect plan, let's order pizza and watch a movie. So we called and ordered. We were starving so we were very excited about its arrival. It took about 20 mins longer than they said it would and then the delivery driver could not find my place which is ridiculous because its not hidden or anything. My door is right on the street and the address is displayed large and bright. Finally we get the pizza and we can barely contain our excitement we open it up and both turn and look at each other with the look of REALLY?!?!?! We had ordered an XL because the coupon was for a free pizza any size. The toppings were only in the very middle equal to about a 10inch small and this was like a 16in or something. By the time we took a bite it was cold and only one bite per piece had toppings on it. I have not ordered from here since. I was so disappointed because I wanted to love it so that I would have a favorite pizza place right down the street but it just didn't cut it. I can't imagine I would order from here again. If I got another free coupon I might give them another shot but if I had paid the first time I would have been fuming! I say save your money and find another pizza place to curve your craving!

We love the pizza here. Reminds hubby and I of the pizza we had in Italy. Delicious thin crust pizza with fresh ingredients - a little pricey but worth it.
(5)Mer J.
The pizza is amazing, but I am absolutely addicted to their salads! Try the Brie and Craisin one with their home made balsamic... YUM!!
(5)S S.
I ordered a pizza last Friday night, around 6:00. Was told it would take about an hour to arrive - okay, I figured that's reasonable for a Friday. An HOUR AND A HALF later, after calling to see where the pizza was, it showed up (I ordered the basic Trentina). For free delivery, plus a free can of Diet Coke, you can't beat the price - but oh, wait, you can. The pizza was soggy and barely warm, the cheese nonexistent, and generally, pretty disappointing. Next time I need a Friday pizza fix, I'll hit the Dominics for something from the freezer case.
(1)Cassie K.
I love this flippin pizza. It's so thin and the sauce is so tomato-y and the cheese is so cheesy. You can eat a ton of it without feeling too full because it's so thin. The delivery driver is fast and delivery is free. I just wish I could eat it every week!!
(5)Eliot J.
i've never ordered delivery from Apart because i live like 2 blocks away, so everytime i eat there... it's really hot and really good. all thin crust and a decent selection of pizzas. i don't think you can "make your own" with toppings here, which is fine because, again, there is a good selection of options - unique ones, too. once i did call to do takeout about a half-hour before they closed at 10pm on sunday, and they said that they were no longer doing orders for the night. i suspect they just wanted to close early on a slow night, but i *really* wanted a pizza and i think they should've made one for me - especially considering how quickly they can do it (they bake the pizzas in an extremely high temperature). despite that, i have been about 7 times and will continue to go back.
(3)Jenna C.
The Greca has become a staple at my house. Thin crust, but not too crispy. Delicious fresh ingredients, and fast, friendly delivery.
(4)F M.
So we started loving this place when they opened their first store at Montrose St. And then we moved to Rogers park and delighted they opened this place very close from us with delivery. Their thin pizza is awesome, their salads are always fresh. I prefer their personal pizzas as the bigger sizes are not as crispy as the personal ones.
(4)Lord Of T.
Better than average.........very good crust....creative. It is not your average pizza. Rustic is a was to describe, but in a good way.
(4)Honest A.
Pizza is good. Solid. But this place is managed like a trainwreck. Delivery always late regardless of time and weather. Orders mixed up, a lot. People handling phones with zero interaction skills. 16" specialty pizza with delivert, tax, tip. $33. Ill pass.
(2)A T.
This is not NYC pizza. The crust should be way more crispy. Soggy. Good news very fresh ingredients and a nice delivery person. I grew up in NYC and this is not NYC pizza. It is a facsimile of what they want to be. For real pizza go to Ben's on fourth street (NYC). Give up on Chii-town pizza. It basically sucks.
(3)Danielle A.
We've been loyal customers to Apart for several years, telling lots of people in the Chicago-area that they had the best pizza around. However, after several service snafus--and food that seems to have diminished in quality--I don't think we will be ordering again. The straw that broke the camel's back was our experience this evening. We have a newborn baby at home and family visiting. So, at 7:15, we ordered $80 worth of food from Apart, using GrubHub for our order. Our receipt was emailed immediately, and GrubHub said our order would be delivered between 8:30-8:40. At 8:45, I called Apart to inquire about our order. The manager who answered the phone seemed completely unconcerned about the fact that he had "just received the order" through his fax machine. I informed assured him that we'd placed our order at 7:15 and that we had a receipt (attached), but he wasn't phased. "Well, I just got it, and it won't be ready until after 10:00." There were no apologies. No offers of discounts or free product. No commitment to rush the order. The nonchalance was infuriating. I mean, c'mon, say SOMETHING. Instead, he completely pawned the mistake off on GrubHub and continuously said, with an attitude, that I could either "cancel the order through GrubHub" or "wait until 10:15." When I asked for his name, he said "it is GrubHub's fault" and hung up on me. He's a 20-30 male, working as manager of the Bryn Mawr location on Saturday, August 29. Long story short: I called GrubHub, and no one answered. Apart insisted that they can't cancel my order, and they still refused to offer any compensation for the fact that our pizza, which was ordered at 7:15, wasn't delivered until almost 10:15. Though, judging by these recent reviews, many of which echo the same service issues, I'm not sure anyone will care that their restaurant is being handled so poorly. Look, maybe this WAS GrubHub's fault, though many people on Yelp have said that Apart claims to have lost their tickets. Still, ultimately, Apart chooses to partner with GrubHub. Apart will get my $80. And Apart handled this mishap as poorly as they possibly could have. So poorly, in fact, that they've lost this customer.

My son and I found this place on Yelp after a Cubs game. Got off the Red Line at Bryn Mawr and walked right over to it. My mom lives in the neighborhood and we were visiting from the suburbs for the Cubs game. It's a little joint with a few tables. Most people probably order for pick-up, but we ate there. We asked if they had slices and they did not offer them when we asked. We ordered two 10 inch personal pizzas. Thin crust with just cheese and sausage. They were very good and tasty. We loved the crispy crust that had a mild burnt crust that added to the flavor. It was really good neighborhood pizza. We will be back for more. It was not too pricy and the people were very nice and helpful. My son and I enjoyed eating in the sit down area of this place. Quaint little nook to throw back some pie!!!
(5)Jessica Y.
We were feeling some spinach so stopped in for a Tricolore: fresh tomatoes, goat cheese, spinach (made to look like the Italian Flag) each eating 2 slices of the 18" pie. Small store front with one or two tables in the corner but most clientele probably order to go or for delivery. Love the bite to their thin crust. Fresh ingredients, not too salty, flavorful. YUM!!
(5)Jessica C.
I ordered take out on Friday 6/12/2015, had no issues with orders, sizes, etc. Also, they answered the phone immediately. I mention all of those because of other not so good service reviews. Also, they were pretty friendly upon pickup. Maybe not the friendliest, but perfectly fine, no bad feelings, even got a smile. Also, I've noticed most of the bad reviews deal with cold pizza. Look, I don't know how else to say this - this pizza is thin. Super thin. Unless you live 15 minutes away, it's going to get cold unless you eat in. I picked it up on a warm night, put the two small boxes in a foil lined grocery bag and zipped it, and covered everything in a towel and another bag. Drove about 30 min home. It was warm, not hot. The ones in the foil pouch did better. I did then put them in a warming oven, and they heated right back up (I slightly wilted my arugula). I don't do gluten free, I understand as others have said it's tricky - maybe it's not a good idea to get it here unless you're eating there? I guess what I'm trying to say here after all of this is that it's NOT going to be hot. I believe everyone that sometimes the delivery times are absurd, which is why I'll pick it up myself....but I'll also know that it's not going to be piping when I get home. Anyway, the pizza freaking rocks. I spent too much time on a Friday agonizing on where to get good thin crust. My husband loves it and I only love it if it's great. I'm a thick crust girl. This is oven fired, super thin crust Italian pizza, and it's very very good. We ordered the arugula pizza, the pepperoni/sausage/mushroom, a ham/brie/egg, and two desserts - nutella with banana and the apricot. Arugula pizza: Needed a LITTLE more salty flavor - I added fresh grated pecorino romano at home. But still, 4/5 stars. Pepperoni/sausage/mushroom: mushrooms were fresh and super thinly sliced, which is important, the pepperoni is great, and I'm EXTREMELY picky with sausage - it was great. Super fennel-y, well seasoned, not gristly 5/5 Ham/brie/egg: Incredible. I could die. The ham is to die for and I'm now planning on getting more of their ham based pizzas. Of course, I got take out, so the egg wasn't super runny, but still, didn't really matter. 5/5 Desserts: both are really good, but they were heavy on the dough, and the fillings thin out at the tips of the crescent. I cut both into 4, and really, only the middle pieces (the thick parts) had enough filling. I suggest splitting only with 2 people so you get enough filling per person. Also, note they are a little bit tough and not light/crispy. They aren't bad at all, and the fillings themselves are well executed. I just wanted to give you an idea of what to expect and know that the tips aren't full. 3.5/5
(5)anthony o.
just back from italy ate 4 pizzas there 1 in vinci 1 in pisa 2 in naples.not impressed with my pizza today. pizza margarita does not have oregano on it. crust dry like card borded. very disapointing after reading about the owner bringing recipe from italy i make a better pizza and i was born here. que vergogna.
(2)newton h.
unique in chicago, this neopolitan style pizza should not be missed. however, understand what you are in for, folks. this is very thin crust, and simple pizza, cut into proper slices (who the hell decided to start cutting pizza into squares anyway?). if you truly appreciate the naples inspired style, give these guys a call! i would give these guys five stars, but they seem to keep inconsistent hours, and when im jonesin for a pie i hate to be let down!

My fiance and I had a random pizza craving last night at 9 PM, so we thought we'd check this place out. We've heard really good things about their thin crust pizza -- it's supposed to be as close to New York pizza as you can get -- and that's what we were in the mood for. The situation was a little awkward. We knew they closed at 10, but we got there at 9:15 and all the stools and chairs were put up on the tables. We had to double-check to make sure it was open and that there were actually workers in the place. But, we ordered our pizza and all went smoothly. As far as atmosphere, this place is pretty cool. It's extremely casual with a few tables and benches for people to sit. I wouldn't recommend going here with a large group of people, since space is fairly limited, but if you're there when it's slow, they have some good board games and for you to play while you wait. There's also a chalk board at front, but again, if it's busy, it'd be kind of awkward to draw on it, since it's right in front of the ordering counter. Going here during a time when they aren't about to close would probably be fun, and they're a BYOB place, so it's definitely now on our radar for places to hang out. The pizza itself was delicious. If you're looking for an affordable thin-crust pizza, this is where you want to go. For the two of us, it cost under $20, and we completely polished it off. We ordered a Queen Margherita and were pretty happy with it. The "fresh" tomatoes weren't as fresh as they could have been, but again, we got there fairly close to closing. The lunch deals are much better and we're going to try making this place a go-to for a Saturday brunch/lunch. Their combos are significantly cheaper during their lunch time (you can get a pizza that serves 3-4 and a 2-liter coke for under $20), and they offer free shipping from 11 AM - 3 PM. Since we went late night, we're not sure how this is going to work out, but we're excited to try. We were happy with our pizza and can't wait to try out their garlic knots and dessert.
(3)Michelle A.
I just ordered from Apart Pizza Company for the first time tonight. Delicious, thin crust pizza with just the right amount of cheese and toppings. While I enjoy Chicago-style pizza and even traditional thin crust, the thinness of the crust was just the ticket on a hot Friday night. And SUPER FAST delivery by a very friendly driver (give that man a raise!). I will definitely be ordering again.
(5)Katie N.
This is my favorite pizza in Chicago. I'm not a huge fan of the pound of cheese per slice pizza that dominates Chicago, and this place is an answer to my prayers. Delicious thin crust with big floppy pieces and great fresh toppings. I only order pizza from here now. They really know how to do thin crust well. I'm only sad it took me 5 years of living here to find it! Not a great sit-down place, but that's not a big concern for me. Great for takeout and delivery.
(5)Stephanie R.
Hands down the best pizza on the north side! My boyfriend and I have been searching out the best pizza in Chicago, and are sold on Apart. Slightly more expensive, but a class above all other comparable pizza joints in the area. We love artichoke, feta, garlic and red onions but their signature pies are great too. A+
(5)Bhakti W.
We are really patient and tried this place 7 times. I REALLY want to give this place a better review...but I really can't.... We have given them several chances because the pizza is really good. But every single time they screw up our order. Like really screw it up. Every time. One time they sent us a small instead of an extra large then made us wait an hour to "exchange" pizzas for our original size. That resulted in two hours of waiting for all of us to eat a cold rushed pizza and one of those hours was spent smelling the one we were supposed to turn in for the correct size. Any customer minded business would have comped their original mistake and let us eat it. They acknowledged it was their fault but made us wait. Zero apologies or concessions. They have put the wrong ingredients on (meat for vegetarians), forgotten all our sides, drinks or salads. They called us one time because our (very simple) order confused them. Then blamed the web ordering system for their confusion which they ask everyone to use (rather than Grub Hub which a note on their pizzas explains takes a percentage) saying their online system isn't very good. Than why the note that they prefer we use that system? Tonight I had to call 17 times before getting through to order by phone thinking that maybe that would be better... it wasn't. Last time I ordered (and waited 90 minutes), that the delay was because they proudly make their pesto (on their menu) fresh everyday and it was really good. Tonight I asked for pesto and the guy said they don't have pesto. I asked if they were out and he said they have never had pesto on the menu and don't have any there. Trying not to be argumentative, I said I was surprised because we had ordered it before. He kind of laughed and said "You sure?". They also gave me a free coupon when the pesto pizza had taken so long, which I now understand was because they don't have any so they had to manifest it from the thin air ;) ... but wrote on it for a free "dessert". That was nice, but they don't have desserts. I'm sitting here with the coupon clearly saying Pizza Apart on it and the words Dessert and the name of an employee Bianca... I guess that's just trash.... Total bummer to give a local business such a bad review. Unavoidable. Never going back.
(1)Brian S.
Good thin crust choice for pizza take in area. They do have a small dine in area but I would not reccomend. Ingredients are fresh, sauce is good and crust is crunchy. How can you lose?
(4)Monique N.
I just finished a pie and I have to say it was amazing! I love the thin crust, the sauce and I literally couldn't stop eating it. Fast delivery and I can't complain better than you average delivery pizza.
(5)Gary B.
While Andersonville has many pizza options Apart has become our go to place for really good thin crust pizza. I am a big fan of green olives and sausage pizza, unfortunately my enjoyment of green olives is not welcomed by the masses and many pizza places have stopped carrying them. Needless to say when I have that craving Apart is my first call. We have always had prompt delivery and as mentioned by a few others the delivery has shown before the stated time.
(4)suzanne h.
This is a delicious pizza; thin crust (soft in the middle, crunchy crust), quality ingredients (subtle tomato flavor so the toppings stand out), fresh veggies, enough cheese to pull it all together. This pizza is a good alternative to the cheesy and heavy (albeit savory) flavors of Giordanos, Lou Malunatis, etc. Highly recommend Apart Pizza! We've tried 3 pies - like them all - in order; Cacciatore (the smoked bacon completes this meat pie), Diavola (the peppers were fresh, generous amount of olives), and Greca (the Feta cheese adds a nice punch of flavor to the milder veggies). My husband and I order 2, 8" pies, and end up with several slices leftover. We also tried the Greek salad with balsamic dressing. It was excellent; crisp lettuce, crunchy peppers and cucumber, generous amounts of olives and feta cheese. I read Kate's review; sympathize with her frustration! We have been to Apart on Broadway for pickup twice. The first time we ordered at the counter. They forgot our salad but had it ready in just a few minutes. The second time we phoned our order in and there was no issue when we picked it up. Both times it has been evident that the staff is new to the business, young, and more eager to chat with the occasional pretty girl who walks by the door than impress the customer. That said, I did find the staff worth the effort. The guys we dealt with, when engaged, were eager to please and brag about their new location. When we left, I told them that we're glad they're in our neighborhood and one of them responded, "We couldn't be here if not for you. Thank you! Come again". I'm hoping that Apart continues to hone their business skills like they have their pizza making so that they bring Kate back for another try, more residents in the door, and we have yet another yummy option in our neighborhood.
(4)pall s.
Pizza used to be amazing but now, not so much. The pies have become inconsistent, yet they have consistently raise prices. Used to be able to get 2 10' speciality pies for around 14 bucks. Now it's well over 20. And an additional 3-4 dollar charge if sharing a salad while dining in!?!?! Ha! Last straw Apart! You just loss one of your most loyal and faithful customers. WE ARE OVER!
(1)Sandra A.
Apart pizza is special. It's unlike anything I've had in Chicago. You will likely have trouble getting the order placed which can be annoying. Everytime I call I feel like I'm the first customer they've ever served. That aside, the real and delicious food is totally worth it. You will get a delicious pizza and salad that makes you wonder what gets lost once you put more polish on a business. I'll exchange a smooth transaction for a special pizza that you can't get just anywhere. The salads are big enough for two, the pizza will be devoured and don't forget to share one of the fruit pouches for a nice cherry on top. Apple is the best.
(4)Jim D.
Great Pizza. Some of the best in the city. Not Chicago or New York style, more Italian. Very thin and delicious.
(5)Fida C.
Excellent, excellent thin crust pizza. Tiny dining room (2 tables). I recommend take out.
(5)Don G.
Had one bad service experience, but ever since, it's been great. Food is fantastic. A pizza should not be cut in squares, and fortunately they know to cut it into pie slices.
(5)claire r.
Terrible! I just ordered delivery from here and had an awful experience. Inept staff, cold pizza, long delivery time. My first clue should've been that the woman who took my order was an idiot, I was constantly having to repeat myself and she still sent the wrong drink. It took over an hour for our food to come and it was ice cold when we got it. The delivery guy was not friendly at all - he just barked the price at me and turned and left. I will NEVER order from here again.
(1)Ayme M.
Coming from somebody who orders pizza all of the time, I must say that this place is great. Their pizza is consistently excellent and delivery is super fast. I look forward to their goat cheese and arugula pizza for days before I order it, and have twice ended up brokenhearted when I placed my order and was told they were out of arugula. You'd think it can't be that hard to just run to the store and get some more, but that is not the case and I'm forced to order something else. Either way, all of their pizza is great, however be careful when ordering, as certain specialty pizzas have their toppings segregated into different sections of the pizza, instead of all mixed together. It's not bad, just unexpected...
(4)K P.
I've been a huge fan of Chicago deep dish since I moved here, but I certainly enjoy the thin crust pizza from Apart. Their ingredients always seem really fresh - I'm especially fond of their sweet peppers - and I like the combinations. The servers are really nice and it's never been busy when we order from there (though we've always picked up so I can't comment on delivery). When the pizza first comes out of the box it's a bit limp - but I don't mind since I just shove it on a plate and get a fork. After the lid of the box has been open it firms up, but I do like the fact the crust isn't hard and crackery. I'd recommend Apart in a heartbeat!
(4)Matthew P.
Amazing! Not your typical Chicago pizza place! The pizza is similar to NY Style. The pie is super thin and very, very tasty. My finance and I love to go there and each get our own personal size pie and a pop; the total bill is less than 15 dollars and we each get to have a great meal. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes NY style pizza or anyone who likes good pizza!
(5)Jen J.
thin crust pizza, with creative toppings and delivery to my front door? unbeatable. i love the pies with goat cheese and/or arugula. the best part is they have personal sized pizzas so if you can't agree on toppings and don't want to split a pie, get your own for a totally reasonable price. the sauce is simplistic and not overly sweet like some places and their main cheese is salty goodness. my only complaint is that their salad greens are often less than fresh so i have foresaken ordering them for a while. big ups to the sunday delivery driver!
(4)m d.
Service has improved some since my last review, and this is still one of our main go-to places when we're feeling lazy or in need of some serious comfort food. I do recommend dine-in or takeout (if you're close enough to get home quickly) so that you can enjoy your pizza hot. It is way better that way!
(4)David R.
Delivery through GrubHub with no delivery fee and a $10 minimum = Back in my good graces Also, delivering in 45 minutes rather than the GrubHub estimate of two hours = much appreciated The "Verdura" calzone with peppers, spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms was quite tasty, even without marinara sauce inside. The online menu mentions that you have to request sauce on the side, for an extra charge, but the GrubHub interface didn't include the option. I requested the sauce and received it for no charge. Sadly, it was runny and bland, but at least it was free. No marinara sauce, plus egg inside--can this truly be considered a calzone? I'm saying yes. B+.

Okay, Apart? Ummmmm, *sweats* . . . . I know my first review of you was only in . . . January - when we shared our first of your pizzas together, but . . . I love you! I've thrown away all my other pizza menus - I don't call them anymore, and want you to be the only pizza joint that delivers to my house. Really . . . I don't need Giordano's or Tedino's or Aroma or Calo or Ranalli's anymore - that's just junk food, I'll only . . . eat yours from now on! Plus, you're hot! And sooooo fresh *winks*! You of the yummy thin, chewy crust. The perfect amount of cheese. The large New York style slices. The interesting ingredients! Really. I see a long and blissful relationship . . . working my way thru your delicious menu and forsaking all others (until when/if you start to suck). It's even fun to walk over to the store, dish with the cute, friendly guys working there, and then have the goods delivered. And it is delivered promptly, hot and fresh, often with a bonus soda. Apart . . . mmmmmmmmm, don't ever part!

Weight watchers delight for great pizza! I want good pizza that is healthy but still taste like pizza, you know? I like this place for that. I really like Pizza Apart! It has became a regular in my 'treat' schedule. PA is around the way where I live in Edgewater. I get the "Verde"; light sauce, thin crust, broccoli, cheese, spinach. YUM! For a personal, its cheap, comes with a pop, and just a enough food. The pizza has always been so good, the same taste every time and a short wait for pick up. By the way, I am still losing weight, too! #winning! I also like the little place they have. Its small, but still warm and inviting. I love to come in and wait for my Verde in the big comfort chair LOL! They have personal letters from clients on the wall, which shows they value the people that they serve. Customer service is always good! They have table and chairs outside and inside, with a few games to play outside. Again, small, but still inviting. I was surprise to see PA's stars not being higher, but I am sure they will read the things on here and they hard to improve, if need be. I like PA. I more than likely won't go anywhere else for pizza in Edgewater!
(5)Megan M.
I love apart! Their staff is amazing and the food is delicious. I have tried almost every pizza on the menu and have never been dissatisfied. You can tell they take pride in using high quality and fresh ingredients. The icing on the cake is their delivery. I have never had a delivery time longer than thirty minutes and they usually arrive well before the quoted time. They also deliver in major snow storms, which is awesome. Order a cappricola you won't be disappointed.

This place is a bit on the expensive side, but the pizzas are delicious. If you're going to go there in person you should definitely call and order ahead of time, because otherwise you'll end up waiting quite a while for your pizza. There are a couple of tables, so you can sit down and eat there if you really want to, put this place is definitely meant to be more of a carryout/delivery restaurant. A 14" pizza will feed two hungry people or three not very hungry people.

Had some issues with the first pizza but Michael made things right on the second pizza. Pizza is good. They cool!

Great pizza. Grub Hub has a coupon for a free salad w/Purch over $30. Salad was good but small. Pizzas we got were Pollo Tuscano and Cacciatore. Both were excellent. Very thin crispy crust.

This is my go-to place for pizza delivery or pick up. The proximity to my apartment is perfect, the prices are reasonable, the service is always friendly and the pizza is delicious. My personal recommendation is the the Quattro Formaggi, a combo of brie, goat, parmesan and blue cheeses. Adding on extra ingredients is very reasonably priced as well (I like to add chicken and spinach--yum!). The sweet dough dessert (Filoncino) is also a stand out. So next time you are perusing Grub Hub or want a pizza kick in the Edgewater area, this place is a must.

This place does pizza right! It was thin, crispy, and definitely not greasy. A group of us ate in their small dining area and they were really helpful! We got a variety of pizzas, but our favorite was the one with an egg on it! It changed my mind on thin crust pizzas for sure and their gluten free pizza was very good. I will definitely be back.

My man and I are always having to compromise when ordering to go. He always wants pizza or some unhealthy crap (sometimes im in the mood for it too), and I want salad, or something healthy to balance out the junk food.. Most pizza places that offer salads, are iceberg lettuce, wilted carrots and just overall ewww. I was so happy to find a place that DOES SALADS WELL!!! Fresh dark greens, simple and high quality ingredients. Goes perfect with a slice of their thin crust pizza. Love when I can get get healthy and tasty delivery! My new favorite spot.

We went here after reading the positive Yelp reviews. The menu looks great, with interesting salads and pizzas with creative flavor combinations. The staff was very friendly. But taste is paramount, and this pizza was bland bland bland. I used the balsamic dressing from our salads to liven up the taste. It was better, but you shouldn't have to do that to make an artisanal pizza taste good. Sorry. The next day, I tried Bar Toma in Streeterville. It was exactly what I hoped Apart would be: tasty and memorable.

We've ordered delivery from Apart on Broadway probably 10 times. I bought up a ton of the Living Social/Groupons when they were offered, with no doubt that I would use them before they expired. So glad I did. Their pizzas are great. You can tell that they use good quality cheese and other ingredients. I prefer a chewier crust really, but this is the closest thing I've found to floppy NY style pizza within delivery range since I've lived in Chicago. Our most repeated choices are the arugula and goat cheese, and the one with ham, egg, and brie. We've ordered lots of others that have been great though. The signature, the one with all the meat and bacon and garlic, pepperoni, margarita, and arugula with tomato - some are light, some are really heavy, so chose wisely. No complaints on any of them. Their salads are great - when they get them right. We often get the wrong dressing, the wrong salad altogether, or just one ingredient that's off. Once we ordered the spinach salad, and instead we got a big container of arugula - no spinach. We surely would have made a different choice had we known. Sometimes you just want what you want. The only other issue we've had is that the pizzas arrive cold. Well maybe not cold, but definitely not piping hot. Warm. Warm pizzas, not hot pizzas. We pretty much always have to throw a few slices on a sheet in the oven for a few minutes before we eat. Neither the salad orders getting messed up or the cold (aka warm) pizzas have deterred us from ordering from here all the time, so obviously the end result is totally worth it.

I love wood-fired pizza and have been wanting to try this place for a while. Thought it was a great opportunity to do so when Groupon offered a deal. Unforunately, I had much better and was left disappointed. Ordered a pizza with pepperoni, pepper, olives and it was OK. The crust has thin and crispy and the pepperoni had good flavor. The other pizza we ordered was supposed to be ham, peppers, artichokes, and mushroom - it was missing ham and peppers. Futhermore, the edge of the crust was burnt, and not just a little - they were black. So I would recommend checking your food before leaving. We had the pizza about 15 minutes after picking them up and they were no longer warm so maybe that made it less flavorful. The place is tiny and quaint, but only has 2-3 very small tables from what I remember so best for a fast bite or carry-out.
(3)Daniel M.
I have lived down the block from this place for 2 years and finally tried it the other day. I don't why I've waited this long to try it. I got the sausage and a salad with gorgonzola and walnuts. The salad was very tasty and the pizza was awesome. The crust is very thin and crispy, while the cheese is cooked to an orangeish/golden brownish color. The pie also had a good mix of sauce on it. It's pie cut like a NY style slice but is nowhere near as doughy as a typical NY style slice. In other words, if you tried to fold a slice in half like those clowns do out east, the crust would crack, not fold. I definitely prefer my thin crust square cut, but this pie is so good they can cut into animal shapes for all I care. We ate there and our pizzas came our faster than I anticipated, which was nice. If you like thin crust and are in the area you will like this place.
(5)Luan N.
I like that you can get quality thin crust pizza in 10" size. The Francese pizza was interesting with brie, bacon, and egg. Compliment with caprese salad which comes with tons of mozzarella. Even sweeter is I got to use a chicago half off certificate!
(4)Dan K.
Tried this place based on a recommendation - glad I did. Friday night delivery only took 45 minutes and the pizza was fresh, hot, crispy, and delicious. I ordered their namesake pizza and was not disappointed. I almost never eat pizza as I generally stick to low-carb, but unlike the guilt of sneaking something unsatisfying - this place is absolutely worth it. Excellent super-thin crust adds crunch and texture to the great cheese, sausage, and vegetable toppings. The 20" has generous slices that feel natural to fold over and enjoy with your hands. My new standby pizza place.
(5)Jason A.
I'm always on the lookout for a new pizzeria to try out and Apart Pizza doesn't fail to please. The moment I saw my Funghi Tristi (mushroomz) pizza ready and placed on my table, nothing but the look of a hungry wild boar was on my face. The thin crust pie was great. I loved my pizza so much it burnt to roof of my mouth. Plus you get a free soft drink with any 10" pie, which is cool. Definitely coming back here again and recommend.
(4)Yanyao N.
This place is right across the street from Northside Toyota, so if you're in the neighborhood buying a car, Apart is the PERFECT place for a celebratory pizza (and very affordable)! I ordered the 10" Capriciosa (#5) with ham, fresh mushrooms, and artichokes (my current obsession) and tried some of the Apart signature (#22) with sausage, fresh mushrooms, and pepperoni. Each pizza comes with a free fountain drink so you're looking at a really cheap and delicious meal. Both pizzas were fantastic, and because of the cracker thin crust, didn't leave me with that bloated excessive pizza consumption feeling even though I struggled to finish the 10" by myself. I really enjoyed the quality of their toppings. The sausage on the #22 was so flavorful and the bites of the #5 with artichokes were heaven! And it gets even better.... the staff! They were some of the friendliest and happiest staff I have encountered. They seemed happy to be at work making these beautiful pizzas and are exceptionally friendly to customers. Not in the "I'm your server and I'm going to be polite and schmoozy so I get a bigger tip", but "I love my product and am genuinely happy that you're here and having a good time". LOVE! A word of warning to those who are on the short side: The soda machine is built for giants. Mr. N had to help me because I couldn't reach. Had he not been there, I'm sure one of the staff would have been happy to, but just a heads up. :)

It was a Friday night in March. Not really in the mood to go out. So, we decided to order pizza. I am all about trying new places. So, looking through the drawer, we found a menu for Apart Pizza. None of my friend had tried it, so I decided to be the first. From the menu, there weren't a lot of options. However, what was listed looked good. We ended up ordering: 32. Quattro Formaggi: brie, goat, parmesan, and bleu cheeses (in quarters) and we added Spinach. It arrived quick and in good condition. It tasted ok. Ordering 4 cheeses such as the ones listed above, you would think that it would have lots of flavor. Unfortunately, it didn't. It looks as though the spinach was just thrown on the pizza as there were slices that barely had any spinach on it at all. Lastly, the crust, very thin (my favorite) but very soggy. I would have preferred it to be more crisper. Not sure if I would order from them again.
(3)Sandy A.
Jimmy's now delivers up to at least Granville. But if you want NY/Neapolitan delivered to Edgewater on Mon., you're still ltd. to Apart.
(4)Nicole C.
NO NO NO NO NO. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea when I was too sick to leave the house- to order from here. 2 hours later my pizza appeared. Cold, and a little soggy, but still good in a weird way. No, this is probably more my fault than anything, but I dont care who you are, or how you make a pizza. It should not take 2 hours to reach its final destination!!! If people like your product this much, do something about the long wait times on delivery, or just plain stop delivering! Otherwise? It was amazing. I live in Chicago and am just not a huge fan of the pizza...now I know where to go as long as I can leave the house.
(3)Joe M.
Eh. Nothing special. Pro: vegan cheese. Con: pizza was just ok. Wish I ordered from somewhere else. Impressed by the gluten free crust option though.
(2)John M.
First off--this is not New York-style pizza. True, it is thin crust, but much like all deep dish is not Chicago-style, all thin crust is not New York-style. That being said, they do a very good job with the thin crust here. There's a nice spotty quality to the bottom of the crust which is cooked on the floor of a gas oven. The crust overall is very crispy--it cracks rather than folds--however it is not overly cracker-like, which has been my experience with thin crust-style pizza in Chicago. The service here is very friendly and attentive. It's kind of out of the way unless you live in the neighborhood, and the soda fountain is curiously high up, but I'd make a visit out here to give it a try and would gladly come back if I happen to be in the area.
(4)John C.
Paid $10 more than the pizza was worth. Had the veggie medium pizza, and it was like soup in the middle. I understand some pizza restaurants warn you that adding more toppings will make the pie a little moist, but that should be your warning sign to try a different restaurant. But when Apart's own specialty pizza is a bowl of soup, then I think you should re-think being called a Pizza Restaurant. You obviously are not good at making pizza, so why don't you try something else like sandwiches. I wish I took a picture. The picture alone would have made you look at a different pie option. If you know how to cook a pizza correctly, you should not have this problem. My friend who ordered at the same time got only 1 topping on his pie, which looked a little crispier than mine, but still in my opinion way over priced. Just because you charge your pizzas a premium price, does not make the pizza premium.
(1)Stephenie S.
Their delivery service is the worst. It took 2 hours to get my pizza and I only live 8 or 9 blocks away. When the pizza arrived, it was soggy and cold. And, it wasn't even the pizza I ordered. When I called to complain about my experience the woman that answered the phone was very rude.
(1)Jim M.
I'm giving this 4 stars in part because of the neighborhood competition, or lack thereof. Apart is not in the same league as Piece, and luckily for Apart they're not in the same neighborhood either. There are some really stand-out aspects of this pizza for me. Their chicken is always cooked well, nice and juicy, large white-meat strips. The dough is very good, super thin. (I realize this is Chicago, not everyone wants thin pizza crust) And c'mon, it's triangle-cut slices. On the flipside, the sauce is just OK. It actually almost detracts from the rest of the pie. The cheese is... fine. Not much else to say about it. The delivery is usually quick, under an hour. And their special "buy an 18" get one free" on Mondays makes it a great deal. This has become our stand-by pizza place when ordering in.
(4)Ms T.
Just had take out from here. I like different kinds of pizza and though my pizza wasn't quite what I was expecting, it was good none the less. Got the 10 inch margarita. It was delightful. Yeah, kinda greasy like a new york slice however as many others have noted on here, the edges are cracker like. You can't really fold it like a slice but hey, it's not trying to be a slice, so NAH! Delivery was super fast. I was very pleased with my purchase and will order from again.
(4)Bridget I.
First place I call when I want pizza delivered. I've never dined in but I think they have seating. Thin-crust, really good toppings and combinations, a lot like the pizza I got delivered while living in Florence, Italy. I LOVE the Giardinetta (fresh tomatoes, arugula) and Quattro Stagione, if I'm craving something salty I'll go with the Cacciatore (ham, pepperoni, bacon, onions, garlic) or Diavola (pepperoni, sweet peppers, black olives). Prompt and friendly delivery. Oh yeah, don't forget to order a Sweet Filoncino in hazelnut - big enough to share. The photo that is posted is accurate, though it doesn't show how delicious it is!
(4)Lindsey B.
I reviewed the other location, and it all still stands. This is the one that is near my job though and they are fantastic. The people are friendly and helpful and always willing to do whatever they can to make your lunch enjoyable. The pizza is good, inexpensive, and satisfying! I love it. We all order from Apart! It's the one place all of my co-workers and I can agree on.
(4)Jeff A.
This just in...This just in... I had eaten here before and was absolutely not impressed... I gave it another whirl last night after much coaching and many think tank sessions and all the advice and planning paid off for sure! Here is what you do; order several of the personal pan pizzas and trust me on this do not order the large pizza get three smalls for almost the same price you will be happy you did! we tried three small pizzas and here they are - Cacciatore- or as my friend called it the Man pizza cuz its so meaty and sooooo good! the most sweet tasting onion I have ever had where did they buy those cuz I want some! Gamberetti- fresh tomato and shrimp, it was my least favorite and it was still darn good! go gambi go! Francese- Ham, brie, and egg...Shhhhhhh and just try it, my friend and I were both skeptical and guess what, it was so darn good it will now be an absolute every-time I go for Apart pizza! Ok wait it gets better granted I live close by but this pizza was at my house in under 30 mins, really under 30 mins, now that is worth above the crease press right thur,....I say right thuuuurrrrr! The only thing is do not do the dessert just trust me on this one, those pizza crusts with jelly inside are just not good, dry and well disappointing... The name of the place is not Apart Desserts is it, Oh no it is all about the ZA, go for it you will be glad you did!
(4)Jeff C.
I vaguely recall eating at the Montrose location and not enjoying it. If that's the case, then I'm glad that I decided to check out the Broadway location, because it was delicious. Apart offers a pizza that seems most similar to the Neapolitan offered by places like Spacca Napoli: a light, thin crust, crispy around the edges yet soft where covered by a fine layer of sauce and cheese. I ordered the Hawaiian, which came with a well-proportioned amount of ham and pineapple. Nothing about the pizza was too intense or heavy, just rich and flavorful. I got carry-out, and the pizza had definitely cooled off a bit during the trip home, so I can see how people might have less-than-satisfactory delivery experiences. This does seem the sort of pizza that is best eaten at the restaurant, but don't let that discourage you from taking one home. It was still delicious eaten on my couch. Apart does offer a fixed menu instead of a build-your-own option, and I must admit, I'm not a fan of all of their flavor combinations. However, if you can find one that you like, nom.
(5)Erin S.
Yum, yum, yum! After trying various pizza places with little success we stumbled upon "Apart". Discovering a place my husband & I agree on for pizza sho' is mighty fine! The crust is thin & crisp, it's very pocket-friendly and they don't skimp on the ingredients! We like the artichoke heart, ham, black olive & mushroom large pizza. (At Leona's it's over $32!) Here it's $19! Best part is, they don't do the "party slice". Slices are triangularly shaped as mother nature intended!
(5)A S.
Yumm! Finally tried this place and it was a great experience. The pizza was delish and with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. I have a new found love for thin crust. Best of all, we walked out of there with big smiles on our faces and not feeling sick and stuffy (like you normally would after having deep dish or pan pizza). Friendly service. They have a menu with a good variety, can't wait to come back and try their other specialty pizzas.
(5)Stacey F.
This rating is based off of a bad experience getting our food delivered. This place is less than 1 mile from our house. We ordered our food at 5:45pm and received half of it at 730pm then after 4 phone calls, the rest of it at 930pm. Absolutely the worst service we have ever had for delivery here in Chicago. And they really didn't care at all...no compensation, no apology nothing. Even with a good tip. We were pretty surprised at that since we had heard good things about the food. The pizza was good but the specials are a joke...the salad that goes with one of the specials is smaller than a cereal bowl. Barely enough for one person. Too bad, we will never order from here again given our experience. Use carryout or eat in, not delivery.
(2)P S.
Friday night at the Double Bubble. Lori, Mike and Penny are hungry after a day at the beach. Us to the Bartender: "Can we order some food?" Bartender: "Yup" (hands us the menu folder) 47 minutes and $19 later, one 18" tomato pie with sausage and garlic at our service. Properly demolished, would get again (and I'm not even a thin crust kinda girl).
(5)Keya P.
This was my first and will be my last time ordering pizza from Apart Pizza. Last week I placed an order for an event that I was hosting on 4/8/13 at noon. The pizza was supposed to be delivered around 11:20am. When I called at 11:50am to see how long the pizza would take to be delivered, they HADN'T EVEN MADE THE PIZZA! They still charged me for the pizza, I didn't have a problem paying, but I thought businesses wanted people to come back not run them away.
(1)April W.
UGH! I hate hate hate that I have to do this. I so want to love this place. All in all the pizza was decent. But it arrived cold, it was TINY, for the price and it really didnt have much flavor, for the price. If I was paying half of what they charge, I may not be so disappointed, but it cost me 30 bucks to have two personal pan pizzas that were cold and the crust was rubbery. I had the margherita and a white pizza with capers and goat cheese. I probably wont be back because of the price. IF it was cheaper...maybe.
(2)William R.
Great Pizza!
(5)Yakov B.
Absolutely, hands down, the worst Neopolitan pizza I have ever had. The crust had the stiffness of a cracker, the sauce had the sharp zing of tomato paste with the thickness to match, the cheese was non existent, the sparse basil leaves was like eating, well, plain basil leaves, and there was oregano sprinkled on the disgusting tomato paste sauce. The staff was very nice, so that was the one plus.
(1)Christina M.
Good pizza very tasty even for thin crust and I hate thin crust. A little pricy thought - $15 for a small pizza and drink. Good service
(4)Cam M.
I picked up the Groupon for this after hearing some nice reviews from friends. I read through their website before ordering, and to get an idea of their prices/offerings. The different pizzas sounded amazing. albeit a bit different from what I'm used to (the heavily Americanized versions). I ordered a large sausage pizza, a Raspberry Chocolate Filoncino, and a 2-liter of pepsi for pickup. My total was about $25. Not bad. I live about 20mins or so north of the location via the L, so this worked perfectly. Staff... The staff was friendly both on the phone and in person. I butcher how I say new foreign words pretty badly. They were able to translate my attempts into what I meant. Gold star to them. Pizza... The box felt really really light. Granted, I'm used to eating deep dish pizza where even a small weighs as much as a brick. We are in Chicago, Deep Dish is a bias even for us transplants (6yrs in the city). Tasted good. It had a nice sweetness to it, crust was moist without being mushy in the middle with a definite crunch the closer to the edge that you got. Very little sauce, thin layer of cheese, with about 2 inches or so between pieces of sausage. Somehow, this minimal approach worked. I ate half the pie in a sitting, feel delightfully gross, and will be slipping into a food coma within about 10mins. Would I buy their pizza again? Probably, but I'd need to be in the right mood. I'd do delivery next time. At this point, there are other places that are much closer to me that I haven't tried yet. Also, I live across the street from a Giordano's...I'm a regular there for a reason (with a waist line to prove it). Raspberry Chocolate Filoncino Why have I not heard of these before? Tis a tube pastry thingy filled with sweet concoctions. The glutton in me approves of these things many times over. I had no idea what they were going into this, I figured it'd be like a Sweet Pizza thing from Papa Johns or Domino's...and I was way off. Eating it, I feel like I'm inviting diabetes into my life. Would I buy one of these Raspberry Chocolate Filoncinos again? Yes. Many times over, yes. I think it might taste amazing frozen/chilled. However, I try not to eat this type of sugar load more than once every month or two. Conclusion: If they do a Groupon again, I'll buy it again. If I move to within walking distance of the joint, I'll buy it frequently. With where I live now? Maybe twice a year. Who knows, I plan on eating the rest of this pizza for lunch tomorrow, so if it is amazing cold/the day after, I might order more frequently.
(3)Komal H.
Hated the pizza. It also arrived cold when it wasn't even so cold out.
(1)iddells E.
Just learned that on Mondays and Tuesdays, if you order an 18-inch pizza, you get another 18-inch free! That's $21 for 2 huge pizzas of excellent quality. How awesome is that???
(5)Jason L.
This little storefront is the BEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER ATE! AWESOME ingrediants. Delivery, no matter what all the other reviewers experienced, has never been an issue for me the 4 times I have ordered. The clincher for me is the price. Great deal, great food.
(5)Jonathan F.
more like Garbage Pizza Company.... I feel ripped off at this place and thats WITH using a groupon. I ordered 2 large pies. I could not believe what I got. I received a this soggy cold pizza that only had toppings for the middle half of the pie. The rest was the bread. Ridiculous. Since when does the CRUST of a pizza (you know the part without toppings) consist of half the pie???? The toppings were tasteless and tiny... I didn't even notice the ham or bacon because they were as crumbs on the pie and I am NOT exaggerating. I will have to post pictures of this soon. I was expecting it to be tasty at least... NOT. The ingredients were not fresh. Probably because I used a groupon? And to think I gave them a tip when I placed the order... And oh, another thing... The staff who work here are incredibly clueless. I ordered my pies and sat down (in the chair directly in front of the counter). You would think that they would LET ME KNOW when my order is ready... instead they dont instead they keep the pizzas on top of the oven... in the back.... and im there waiting...for 45 mins to an hour... are they that busy? They have 2-3 people standing at the counter not doing anything half the time. Horrible customer service and food. I especially found it funny when I asked for crushed red peppers the guy and the counter threw it at me and asked you paid $5.97 right? (I had a $35.00 groupon taken off)... they said ok... If it were possible to give 0 stars... this is the time. I will not be coming back to this place. What a waste of time and money.
(1)Arturo Z.
I used to live a couple blocks away in Edgewater, and in my house the mere mention of "Apart" elicits a single reaction: a loud "NOM!"/giant smile. I was very surprised to see some of the negative reviews, because I have ordered delivery from them at least 10 times and never had a problem. The crust: thin, crunchy, divine. Ingredients: flavorfull, redunk. The quattro stagioni nearly melts my face off with deliciousness. The only thing I would change is their popularity. They are the kind of place you wish no one else knew about, because the delivery times can be significant. I now live in Lakeview and I miss you. May we not be "apart" too long (...i know, groan).
(4)Vic C.
Love the pizza. Hate the service. I've called on numerous occasions this past month and never get an answer. So I check the website to verify the hours to find that their posted hours are Monday-Sunday 11am - close. Now what the hell is that? 11-close?! So it can't be me. I call again a couple of weeks later because the mood hits me for one of their delicious portabella mushroom masterpieces and I can't even get someone on the phone who speaks english. I had to call twice because I thought I had dialed wrong. Seriously, it should not take an act of congress to order a pizza. When a guy wants a pizza he doesn't want to spend a week negotiating an order.
(2)Char Y.
I came with a coupon & had to wait additional 30 minutes even though I ordered 1 hour prior. We ordered cacciatore - TOO greasy with all the meet tricolores - ok, very fresh tasting due to the vegetables on top filoncino - bad, the dough is too thick & just was not dessert like at all I don't think i'll be going back there for pizza, there are so many more pizza places to try in chicago.
(3)Justin B.
OH MY GOD! THEIR PIZZA IS SO... ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz.... Nothing to it. Not much sauce, not much cheese, not much substance. Plus what crust IS there is hard enough to cut glass. Or the roof of your mouth. (I am not a stuffed snob either, before you go thinkin' that silly notion.) Their hazelnut/chocolate dessert was good, once you got past the ten pounds of un-filled dough. They got the salad right. Kinda felt ripped off, and this is after using the Groupon on it. Strive harder guys. Don't waste your time. The passed out cat in the pix says it all: media3.px.yelpcdn.com/bp… Cheers.
(1)Edwin W.
terrible service! incompetent staff! pizza that was considered mediocre at most, if, and only if, you enjoy a pie that was dipped in water and grease. people. stop giving good reviews out because it is near where you live!!!
(1)Mathew O.
In the mood for a cold pizza delivered in an hour or so? This place is sure to please you! Be sure to order the $8.75 spinach salad as well. It will make you laugh and leave you hungry for more!
(1)Jonathan P.
You know you are in the neighborhoods when you are able to find real Italian pie cut pizza. Everything is super fresh and you can tell that each pie is made with care. My favs include the Francese and the Pollo Tuscano. Take that deep dish!
(5)Brandon H.
Very good stuff! I'd describe it as NY style lite. Not as thick, and is a bit lighter on the cheese and grease and your standard NY slice, but it's big and has that NY feel/taste to it. The crust is a bit more cracker like at the edges, so it's not 100% foldable, but you could fold the cheesy portion of the slice no problem. We tried the sausage and pepperoni, and for my money the sausage is where it's at. If you're in the mood for NY-esque pizza and you don't want to get that "I ate waaay too much" feeling, ordering from Apart would be a good decision.
(4)Jeff G.
i really wanted to like this place more than i did, primarly because we just moved a couple blocks away from them, and i wanted a nearby, convenient pizza joint. got carryout, the veg pizza and the greek salad. salad was really good and i liked their home-made balsamic dressing. however, the pizza was not all that. the crust was kind of soft rather than crispy. sauce was tasty, and sweet. but overall, just not one of the better pizzas i have eaten. also i am not a fan of the NY style, nor eating pizza cut in the big triangles. my search continues for our new pizza spot.
(3)Paul P.
My friends suggested this place, they live next door, and while they had offered initially to treat me to a deep dish Chicago Style, this was closer. In the cold weather, we went into this place instead, and I'm glad we did. The food is authentic italian (thin crust) pizza. Excellent food. The staff was great. We even got to meet the owner, and chatted with her quite a bit about her dishes, and the test kitchen on Tuesdays. Can't wait to get there again!
(5)Colleen C.
When it comes to pizza, this girl isn't hard to please. Slap some sort of dough with some sort of cheese and wipe some sauce on it, heat...and give it to me. I'm happy. So, it's Friday night. We just got about 57 inches of "heart attack" thick snow, and I don't feel like moving out of my corner of the world. I have one hard boiled egg, a lonely mini pickle and hummus in my fridge and despite my resourcefulness I cannot think of a way to concoct a meal out of these ingredients. So, I want pizza delivery. In an attempt to broaden my 'za horizons I check Yelp, of course. Apart's got good reviews for both locations, but the Edgewater one is a bit closer so I ring them up. 2.5 hours later I finally have pizza. Sad, little, limp, coldish pizza. :( I know it was not the best of conditions and everything, but in 2.5 hours I could've walked there, made it myself, walked back, eaten it, walked the dog, read a good book and done my laundry. The toppings, while good in theory were poorly executed. Note to self: never order a pizza with an egg on it, eggs are not meant to be mingling with pizza. They forgot the Caprese salad and I think instead I got a mini pizza with spinach, corn and tomato on it. Odd. Corn is another ingredient I don't find works with pizza, but that is just my opinion. I truly believe this experience would've been drastically different had I been able to motivate myself enough to actually leave the house and go out for pizza. Hence, 3 stars and I'll make a return trip... But, no delivery from Apart for me again...I shall stick with Pizza Rustica. So much for trying to be inventive ;)

On a rare night alone, all I wanted was a girlie movie, a great bottle of wine and an Apart Pizza. I've tried this place numerous times and have never been disappointed. The crust is phenomenal and you can tell a lot of love goes into these pies. This is as close to NY style as I've found here in Chicago. Even though they deliver to my condo I've always chosen to pick up - perhaps that's why I've never had a negative experience. I really hope those that have had a negative delivery experience will give this place another shot - the pizza really is phenomenal.

Don't quite understand what all the hype is about. Tried it twice and wasn't impressed. Perhaps I didn't order the right pizza?
(2)Phil K.
Reliably tasty pies, fast delivery. Plus, it's a friendly family-owned business. Try the Apart: Fontanini sausage, fresh champignons, pepperoni.

Apart Pizza is my new favorite thin crust pizza. It's hand rolled crust and ingredients are fresh and unique. Plus they serve smaller individual sized pizza. And APART has this great Rewards program that is tied into all these different local businesses from salons to a dental practice to theaters, etc. My only problem with this location is its decor. It's so easy to walk past this location and not even know what it is since there is no external signage. Also, this location of APART has very barren interior compared to its Montrose location.

If you are in the mood for a pizza do not hesitate to oreder from Apart Pizza. They make great pizza. I love the most Hawaii Pizza with black olives and mushroom. Yummy!!! Prices are in the market. Service is good. Free delivery too, but not always fast enough especially in weekends when they are busy!!!

We ordered from there last night. It was good, nothing like "OMG!" I love sausage and I was a little bummed when not a lot of their special pizzas actually had sausage on them. We ordered the Sausage and the Quatro Formaggio pizza. The Quatro formaggio was good. It has four types of cheese, one in each quarter of the pie. The sausage was disappointing. There was a lack of sausage on the pizza, in fact it there was such a lack of sausage that there was one slice with no sausage on it. I did enjoy the thin crust though although I wish the crust wasn't so crackerish. We ended up giving it to our dog since it was just to hard for us to enjoy.

It looks like everyone had a great experience. We did not. For some reason, Friday in March we ordered from this place and my friend and I nearly starved waiting almost two and a half hours for our delivery. We ordered two 6" pies and a salad. I called twice asking about our order and was told by the confused-sounding girl on the phone that deliveries were really backed up. By the time the pizza arrived, it had sogged and was partially stuck to the box. I wanted to really like them based on their excellent menu, but they really failed me.

My corporate office is located on the same block so I've had the 10 inch here more times than I care to recollect. Easily one of my top five thin crust pizzas in the city. Perfect seasoning and just the right amount of cheese. I have ordered the 14 inch to go from their other location and the only reason I would shy away from ordering anything larger than the 10 inch is I feel like the pizza tends to fall apart more in the center and everything just slides off. Customer service has always been superb. Definitely try it out if you're a fan of true Italian style pizza.
(4)Jen K.
Similar to others who have ordered delivery- my pizza showed up cold and floppy. It was a Margherita pizza, so it wasn't like it was a problem with the toppings making the crust "moist" as they put it. Also, I was a dollar shy of the minimum order so I ordered the filoncio. It was the toughest pastry I've ever taken a bite of. I needed a steak knife to cut it! Seriously... The whole reason I ordered was because I had a $5 off coupon... and I ended up wasting $18 on inedible food.
(2)Basil D.
This is single-handedly the very worst service I've ever received, anywhere, of all times. The person taking my order doesn't have the ability nor the will to actually LISTEN to me. Quite honestly, they're pizza is slightly above average, but given the service and quality, I've had better in Chicagoland, and other places are also a lot easier to deal with. I'm sad to say, just go elsewhere.
(1)J H.
Love the personal pizzas...always consistently tasty. Nice value for the lunch special, and the free soda is a nice touch. I like the extra thin and crispy crust too. Win.
(4)Mark M.
The pizza was bad. Almost no cheese on it. Floppy thin crust cut in pie wedges. Got the "free" salad for spending too much money and it was a joke. It was about 2 ounces of spinach. Next!
(2)Kendrah R.
Crust is great, thin, crisp. Oregano is fresh. Good toppings ingredients, especially fresh arugula. It can get expensive if you order the large pizzas. But our trick to this place is to order lots of small pizzas. It is less expensive and you get more food. (Oooh, I hope the owners don't read this and raise the prices of those great small pizzas!)
(5)Rick H.
Amazing... Best pizza I have ever had in Chicago. I looked at some of these reviews and had to laugh because I sure as hell don't know where they were ording from because I got a gluten free with my groupon and my free salad didn't have spinach because that's not what they offer. Had a crap load of mixed greens and tons of toppings that were even layered. Mmmmhmmmm :-) If you want great pizza from a great little place order from here.
(5)Terrence M.
This is the best pizza joint in the city...no question.
(5)Jim L.
This was about the best pizza I've had. I can't believe I just sat down and ate an entire 14 inch pizza on my own. Super thin crust - crispy - delicious!
(5)Michael B.
The easy online ordering process is the only thing saving this review from being any worse. In all honesty, this pizza is quite thin, the cheese is greasy, and the sauce is not flavorful. It is simple a standard pizza not worth $17 to feed two to three people. Nothing about this place makes me ever want to order it again. Dare I say it...Domino's would have been a cheaper (and more filling) choice. If you are in Chicago, why would you EVER sell sub-par pizza? There are way better places to eat. Save yourself the trouble and find a different pizza place.
(3)SCOTT G.
Wow...this is great pizza. I like to go during the week for lunch due to their great lunch special. You get a 10" pizza and drink for about 6 bucks. Don't forget that they also have a frequent diner card that gives you a free small pizza after 6. The place has a small, but cute little dining area, but if you are lucky to be there for nice weather, they have a great outdoor seating area. One of the best thin crust pizzas in the city!
(5)David F.
Since they are the only place near me offering glute free pizza, I decided to give them a try and was very happy to see they have improved in EVERY aspect, from the friendly Jerrid answering the phone all the way to delivery times, great job guys, keep up the good work!
(4)Josh B.
One of the best thin crusts on the Northside! I have been a frequent customer of Apart Pizza Co. ever since I discovered them through grub hub a little over a year ago. If you appreciate fresh ingredients, ample toppings, crisp thin crust with a little crunch, then this is the place to go. Very low on the grease factor which is always important for me when it comes to good pizza. Reasonably priced, fast delivery and the pizza always arrives hot. I can say I've tried every type of pizza in the menu and they are all Da Bomb!
(4)Sophia M.
The pizza is good however the service and delivery time is the worst. You can go out buy ingredients and make your own pizza before it gets delivered. I called once to complain they acted like it was my fault that my pizza was set up for pick up when I had clearly asked for delivery. Not worth the hassle. No longer will be ordering food from them.
(1)Jennifer s.
Great pizza and great owner!!! Great vegan and gluten free options! The atmosphere is very relaxed. Loved the pizza!!! And they have free delivery (if you are in range). They have two locations, definitely check them out! They also have garlic knots!
(5)Joseph S.
Whoa - just make sure you order literally 120 minutes ahead. Actually, don't, because this place is seriously awful. Sometimes it might take 10 minutes. Such inconsistency in their delivery times. But what do you care? You are just spending your hard-earned dough on a hot lump of flour, tomatoes, and cheese. (The prices here are ridiculous.) Me: Our pizza is 25 minutes late. (After 60 minute stated wait time.) What's the story? Apart: Let me check...[wait]...Your driver is out with the pizza. Should be 10 more minutes. Me: Would have been nice to know. Apart: Well once the order is out ...there is nothing we can do! Me: Huh...you mean you can't just call me? And let me know it's running late? Apart: Umm....yes, that's true, we could call you. Me: That would have been decent of you. Apart: ...[].... Me: Thanks. Twenty (not ten) minutes later ... pizza arrives. (Yeah, that's 1:45 for a thin crust.) It was COLD. Called them back and said it was unbelievable how they treated me....then they say "Would you like another pizza?" Holy cow. Are. You. Serious. As far as pizza itself, it's fine enough, when it isn't cold (usually is). I would never make a special point to eat here even if it wasn't managed by the Keystone Cops. After 2 consecutive 90 minute deliveries.... I never will again. Three star food....negative 1000 star management and service. They should seriously train people here as to how to NOT manage a restaurant. I don't know why I wasted my time writing this one. These dudes are going to be out of business in a matter of MONTHS with how they treat their loyal customers. No doubt in my mind.
(1)Kyle M.
I don't do thin crust, but when I do, I go here. Spiffy little shop up in Edgewater. The neighborhood sucks, but this antique little pizza joint is a diamond in the rough. My go-to would be the Queen Margarita pizza with fresh mozz tomatoes and basil. Very solid! Need I write more? Give it a try.
(5)S L.
gluten free pizza is fantastic. The service is incredible. Honestly, just good all around.
(5)Vera J.
Pizza is reliably delicious. So are salads. Service can be slow- I typically just do carry out which is fast and excellent. My favorites are the beet salad and the margarita pizza.
(4)Haydee S.
I would LOVE this place with all my heart and tummy if I didn't have to pay an additional $4 for gluten free pizza. The choices and flavors of pizzas are amazing. I had the Apart pizza and man...wasn't let down. Chicago thin crust has saved my foodie soul and...I'm from N.Y. and KNOW about some mother-loving pizza.
(4)Cesar F.
Best thin crust pizza I've had in Chicago, hands down. I had the pepperoni and Hawaiian, and both were delicious with fresh and tasty ingredients. There was the perfect amount of sauce and cheese. The consistency of the crust was very nice and it tasted like an artisinal made-to-order crust you'd expect in an authentic Italian pizza place.
(5)Lucy R.
If there's one thing I'm not, it's a fan of thin crust pizza. Part of the joy of being a true Chicagoan is knowing the difference between good pizza and... everything else. It seems silly to me to order thin crust pizza in a city known for it's deep dish. It's all about the crust! Otherwise, what are you left with? A cracker with cheese, red sauce and maybe some toppings? I might have been proven wrong on this. Last week, girls night out started off at Apart Pizza. There are two locations, but we went to the one in Edgewater, on Broadway. When we pulled up, we thought perhaps we had misunderstood, and you could only order for take out -- it looks like a simple storefront with a window for ordering, but we took a chance and walked in. There are only three tables in this location, so we were lucky we got there early. It was a Friday night around 6:30 when we arrived and there was only one table left. Since all three of us were new to Apart, we ordered a bunch of food to try different things. Starting out, we had the Garlic Bites. WOW! They were not like any garlic knots (as they are usually called) I've ever had -- these were pull apart, and had the perfect mix of doughy goodness and garlic, which were served with both marinara sauce and ranch. Time for pizza! Still skeptical that there was no deep dish, I already was counting on not liking it, but I was pleasantly surprised. Apart's thin crust is the thinnest crust I've ever seen. It's so thin you almost don't think it could hold any toppings. Hand-tossed and gluten free, it is absolutely perfect. The first pizza we tried was the Cacciatore: Ham, pepperoni, bacon, onions and garlic. The presentation was great and it was so homemade we almost felt like we had made it ourselves. Next we tried the Greca: Feta cheese, peppers, fresh tomatoes, black olives and onions. I am not sure if the Greca is my favorite, or if the Pollo Tuscano is. That pizza contained more fresh vegetables and feta, and was served with oven baked chicken breast on top that was so moist, I almost wanted to order strips of it to take home. I really liked the freshness of all of the ingredients, the uniqueness of the pizza combinations and toppings, how bright and clean the small dining space was, and that each pizza was better than the next. Though I was hoping to have dessert after seeing that almost all the desserts were made with Nutella, after 10 slices I was pretty much done for the evening, if not the next two days. Having eaten more than I think I ever had in one sitting, I was not at all uncomfortably full as I usually am after eating my weight in deep dish pizza. I attribute this to the crust not being so heavy? There are so many pizzas, salads and desserts to choose from, I will definitely be back and would recommend this place to anyone
(5)Rick J.
Free delivery during peak hours, and delicious thin crust.
(4)Daniella S.
I hadn't even finished eating when I started this Yelp review..Fingers covered in ranch and all. Every time I order pizza delivery in Chicago I am reminded of how bad Miami's pizza scene is. I ordered a thin crust half Hawaiian, half Pollo Toscano and small garlic knots. Everything was delicious and the pie came with LOTS of toppings, which I appreciate. My only complain (just for the sake of complaining) is that my garlic rolls didn't have much garlic, but that could be because I ordered delivery rather than dined in.
(5)Jimmy B.
Apart is my go to thin crust pizza in the area. Really great tasting, tons of topping options, always super fresh tasting ingredients. We've picked up before but generally get delivery. The pizza is hands down awesome and no complaints there. The delivery isn't really all that great though. Generally they are late, but I've sorta come to expect and plan for that. The pizza is generally still warm, but it's at that verge of going cold sometimes. I can definitely tell the difference when I stop by and pick up myself. We're not far away, but maybe we're on the end of a delivery route, idk.. I ordered a bunch of pizzas from this place during a party and everyone raved about it, so it's not just me, the pizzas are great. If you plan for the possibility of a little wait for the pizza, you'll be happy with the product when it arrives! I tried their garlic knots, and they weren't that great. Too much bread not enough garlic... Definitely stick to the pizzas, that's what they do really well! Also, I got thrown off early on by the margherita pizza listing. It's not the margherita I expected with tomato slices etc. that's just what they call their basic cheese pizza. Just something that confused me early on in my ordering days, so keep that in mind. Now I want pizza lol
(4)Valerie H.
Apart Pizza Company definitely knows how to make an excellent thin crust pizza. The base is thin & crispy with a light buttery touch. Sauce is understated, enabling the toppings to stand front and center, which, in my opinion, is how a good thin crust pizza should be! Ingredients are fresh and delicious. If you're a fan of a high concentration of toppings, however, I recommend a small or medium size pie. When they make the large, toppings are noticeably sparse, making for what feels like a pizza that is lacking. (This is from my experience from ordering a large size only once. Maybe it was a fluke --I hope so!) Customer service is top-notch. I will definitely be back.
(4)Srini R.
Does not live up the ratings and feedback. Ordered delivery since we all felt like pizza night. Ordering itself was easy through Grubhub and delivery was quicker than the estimated hour. But that's pretty much all the positives. I wanted crispy but what i got was lightly burnt (and on some sides more than a little). Stingy portions of the toppings, so so cheese. Have had significantly better and my quest for great thin crust continues...
(2)Saurabh P.
Not bad pizza. Thin crust, not very crispy delivered. Definitely have some creative pies which is nice. I also liked that they allow two completely different types of pizza on each half of the pizza. Prices are not bad, delivery was punctual. Online ordering was a breeze...
(4)Erin R.
The pizza at Apart is incredibly delicious. They do a very thin crust, so if you're looking for Chicago-style, this isn't your thing. Everything is made fresh, and the pizza is perfectly baked every time. They also have fresh salads, and a baked dessert item with different fruit or Nutella fillings and a dusting of powdered sugar. The lunch special is an amazing deal. You can get a huge pizza and a soda for $10 or less. I order from here regularly and I am never disappointed. Not sure what the reviewer who mentioned no vegan option is talking about. They do have Daiya cheese.
(5)Adam P.
I just had a pizza margherita for my first Apart experience and I've legitimately never had a more disappointing piece of "pizza" in my life. I've had thin crust, I've had unevenly cooked brick oven style, I've had cheeseless, but I can't believe I just paid more than $14 for what was effectively a flour tortilla with a tablespoon of (terrible) sauce, 5 leaves of basil an half a sliced tomato on it. Never again. Genuinely perplexed by the good reviews.
(1)Erika N.
Maybe it's weird that I wanted pizza for my birthday dinner. Sadly, I ordered it from here. I ordered the Capriciosa Pizza with a side of pizza sauce on a gluten-free crust via GrubHub. It took about an hour. Fine. It was small (10", maybe) which was also fine. But it arrived cold, which destroys a gluten-free crust. I also received no pizza sauce, but got to pay for it (yaaaay). I said, "Hey -- it's cold outside. Things get cold. I'll just reheat it." Which made it disgusting. I threw the entire thing away and ordered another pizza from elsewhere. Which took another hour. I tried calling the GrubHub customer service line and hung up after being on hold for 20 minutes. And here's the thing -- I know stuff happens. I know gluten-free crusts are tricky. But if you're going to offer one, it had better be delicous and it had better be hot. I can think of many a thing I'd have liked to have spent $20+ for my birthday -- hookers, blow. At least I'd have been able to use them. Then again, not sure how I'd feel about a $20 hooker.
(1)Ruchi S.
This is the thin slices of thin slices! That thin triangle of goodness. My personal favourite is the pepperoni and cheese- simplicity! It will automatically transport you to New York, near the Statue of Liberty where the street vendor is handing out a slice for a miniscule dollar amount. If a pizza shop can provide that kind of nostalgia and awakening of the taste buds, why NOT?!!!!??? Love, Love this place!!!
(5)Jennifer V.
Personally I love the pizza here. I know it's not everyone's favorite thin crust, but I do enjoy it and there really are not a whole lot of choices in the area for delivery of any type of food. Unfortunately it is an incredible pain to order a pizza for delivery from Apart. I usually avoid GrubHub because the whole middleman thing seems to delay deliveries, but Apart rarely answers their phone. One time I called the other location to ask if this one closed, they told me to use GrubHub to order. So I used GrubHub. And I didn't get any food for 3 hours. No I am not embellishing this story. After 1 hr and 15 minutes I called the location and they finally answered. I was told that the kitchen didn't receive my ticket, so she apologized and added a free dessert. Another hour later I called again, she said the driver was on the way. 45 minutes later I called again and was told he should be there soon and my meal was comped. It's great that they comped my pizza, and I got over it. Until tonight when I spent the past 20 minutes trying to call before 9:45 to order a pizza. No one answered and I am obviously not going to bother with ordering from GrubHub anymore. Basically the pizza is pretty good, considering there are not many options in the area, but they don't seem to know how to professionally run a business. I will definitely not be wasting my time trying to order from Apart anymore. I
(2)Bill R.
I work at a psychiatric rehabilitation agency and Apart donated 6 pizzas to our last event! Their generousity is much appreciated by our staff and clients. Oh and the pizza is delicious!
(5)Daniel S.
Had the cacciatore and apart pizzas, both were good, its a small place but fast service, they let us do half and halfs which was nice, parking over here was kind of a hassle but if you live near there its worth checking out
(4)Jessica S.
I was very eager to try Apart Pizza when I moved to the neighborhood a year ago. I am, I'll admit, a very picky pizza eater. I grew up in NYC and I'm always looking for good pizza. I ordered the pizza margerita and I was so disappointed. The sauce was watery and on the whole the pizza lacked the oily tang a pizza should have. I think that it is very overrated.
(3)Kesha B.
The pizza is great, but their dessert is not. We got the blueberry roll and were disappointed. The dough on the inside was completely raw, and the filling had no flavor. On the plus side the restaurant was kind enough to make the situation right by refunding us (they had also messed up our delivery). Overall, it would say this place is ok as long as you eat in and stick to the pizza.
(3)Angela T.
My boyfriend and I ordered takeout from here a week or two ago. He greatly enjoyed his ham and mushroom calzone, but we were extremely disappointed with my thin crust cheese-less pizza. (They'll make your pizza vegan, but don't seem to have faux cheese). The "thin crust" was cracker-like and flavorless, the sauce was barely present, and I couldn't taste the garlic. I'm pretty sure my boyfriend got more sauce with his calzone than I got with my "pizza." Boo. While Apart's cheese-less thin crust wasn't inedible like Gino North's, Pie Hole is much better, because they at least have vegan cheese. Their thin crust is still sub-par though, cheeseless or not. I miss NYC pizza.
(2)Cali S.
Ordered 2 small thin crust pizzas through grubhub at around 5:30 on a Saturday evening. Expected delivery time was 90 to 100min. Food arrived 15 minutes after the expected window and was cold, following a phone call from a delivery driver who claimed he was given the wrong address somehow and accepted no responsibility for the late delivery. After reheating the pizza in the oven, it was decent, but not worth waiting almost 2 hours when there are plenty of other pizza options in the area. Will not be ordering from Apart again anytime soon.
(2)Carol F.
I ordered a pizza last week and it was the worst pizza I've ever had. Cold and burned. awful. i wish i would have looked at it when the driver was here because I would have sent it back.
(1)Emily C.
I have never before written a review for a place without trying their food, but the customer service here is awful. I tried to use the Groupon to order gluten-free pizzas. They told me that I could not use the Groupon for the $4 upcharge, per pizza, for gluten-free crust. So they wanted me to pay an extra $12 total - which I was completely willing to do, by ordering fewer pizzas with my Groupon! But I was not willing to pay $12 in cash on top of the Groupon for a completely arbitrary reason. . There was nothing in the language of the Groupon suggesting that this would be a problem. The entire reason I bought the Groupon was because I wanted to try the gluten-free pizza, which Apart advertises prominently on their website. I hate it when companies play dirty with the old bait-and-switch, and I will not be giving Apart my business.
(1)Scott S.
Pizza was decent enough, not great. I like the idea of the place, though - they help fund the arts somehow. I'd do it again for a quick take out lunch. Seating is very limited - just a couple little tables. Environment is clean and nice, just simple.
(4)Cristina P.
Yummy yummy yunmy! The apart specialty pizza ( pepperoni, mushroom, and sausage) was so good. Within minutes it was gone. Its more NY style which I love.
(4)Caroline M.
Their spinach, tomato and goat cheese pizza is the bomb! The medium size is perfect for 2 hungry adults. Not only did the pizza taste delicious, it looked awesome too! The crust is thin and cracker-y, which I like from time to time. It's definitely not NY style, so slice folding isn't really possible. And dainty people do not apply; this requires eating with hands. Their storefront had 3 little tables. Super cute. Not really the place for an intimate convo since the pizza guys will probably overhear you, but I loved it here. Are they byob? They should be! I'd even give the kitchen some beers! Too bad I discovered Apart only weeks before I move out of Chicago :(
(4)Mike L.
Great food, great people! Their this crust pizza is delicious! The owner is very friendly and our order was ready very fast.
(5)Margot F.
The pizza is amazing. It always arrives hot and way before the estimated delivery time. The only thing is the coupon for a can of pop should be offered on all sizes of pizza. Why would you not want leftovers?
(5)Mink L.
Pizza was pretty good! The girl who answered to take the order was amazing . We ordered one 14 inch pizza for two people and got half Tuscan and half cacciatore, cypress salad, and apple dessert all of which were her recommendations. We ordered the cacciatore with no onions and no garlic, but got it 45 minutes later with it on it. We were really sad. Called and the girl on the phone apologized and credited our account about $10. I'm definitely going to give it another try, but can't say it s my favorite pizza in Chicago for thin crust. Cypress salad was very fresh and tasty and the dessert was just okay. Have to give it another try.
(3)Karisma E.
Fast delivery and great PIZZA!!!
(5)Laura R.
I order from Apart several times a month for the lunch special. Less than $13.00 for a 14" pizza and a liter of soda. Can't beat that price and the pizza is terrific!
(4)Lance P.
Great thin crust pizza, I like a lot of their specialty pizzas. The staff is always friendly and they always have the pizza ready on time. Definitely one of my favorites.
(4)E J.
Love this place. Their thin-crust pizza is delicious, and both times I have ordered in they have arrived far earlier than expected! The only down side: they charge for delivered seasonings like crushed red pepper and oregano. But only 40 cents, so I will survive it! My definite instant Edgewater pizza fave.
(4)Gerry T.
Parking can be a challenge in this neighborhood, on this busy street but this shouldn't be a problem if you're walking distance from Apart Pizza (not to be confused with Opart Thai which is also on the north side). Of course we ordered their signature Apart Pizza. I forget the other one but it was good, trust me. The pizzas were fine but we're hearty Chicagoans (hungry Filipinos really, who immigrated here not for financial stability but rather, deep dish) and we were wanting deep dish as well. All is well, the pizza was crispy and satisfying. On a side note, I appreciated the unique art on the walls which was also on sale. The art shortened my wait as I imagined what type of imagination it must have taken to create those pieces. But those creative thoughts vaporized when the pizzas came out.
(3)Maria C.
Crispy thin pizza done to perfection! yummmm. I hate that I've been so close to this place and I just found out about it. They have a great lunch special for $6.20 - small pizza (enough to share) and a fountain drink, and they deliver for free. I am not courageous into being out of my element so I have only tried the sausage which comes with seasonings. The thing that i like the most is that you can ask for gluten free pizza.
(5)Miles D.
Lower your prices but fairly good pizza
(1)michael v.
I have moved to Chicago 13years ago from New York and have been on the elusive hunt for "good" pizza.......Until now that is, a friend told me about Apart Pizza and today i decided to have one delivered...... I have FINALLY found not only "good" but "great" pizza.. The thin crust was perfect...the flavor of the cheese was amazing, and it had just the right amount of sauce....not all globbed on like sooooo many pizza places in the city. Can't say enough good things about it....and am extremely happy i have found pizzza i can actually "enjoy" Kuddos to the owners of Apart for turning out such a good quality product, thank you
(5)Hayley H.
Maybe I got them on a lame night. I got the La Bianca, plus chicken. The edges were burnt, like crispy black. Like, not brown, but straight up black, carcinogen. The capers were good, but the goat cheese was a strange texture, like it was cooked too long....hence the burnt edges. I also had a sweet tooth and ordered a chocolate-hazelnut Filoncino. It arrived, sans dipping sauce, shaped like a turd in a box. LOL, i kid you not, a turd. Boo, no thanks.
(2)Colleen D.
A big giant MEH. We had a Groupon and husband went to get take-out. The veggie pizza was supposed to have artichoke, peppers, corn and spinach. The spinach was dried out and the pie needed olive oil to resuscitate. There was not an artichoke to be found and maybe one piece of red pepper. We also got the mushroom and sausage. Again, very skimpy on the mushrooms. Really? They are cheap! We got the Groupon to give them a try and live in the neighborhood. Needless to say, I do not see the need to order from them again.
(2)Melinda L.
What a surprise!! Thin, light, but not lacking flavor. This masterpiece of dough, sauce, and cheese was to die for. We also ordered the caesar salad that was sooo good. The lettuce was fresh, very vibrant, and the croutons were nice and crunchy. Not to mention, we ordered it for delivery. This was our first time ordering from Apart and the girl who answered the phone was extremely helpful. She explained the menu so well and was very friendly and patient. She helped us with our choices of pizza and salad. If I knew her name, I would thank her personally on this. After we ate our delicious pizza and salad, we called Apart back just to let them know how good it was. We will definitely be ordering from here again!!!
(5)Bradley S.
Groupon brought us here...the food will bring us back. (And the service was good too.) Since the Groupon was for dine-in or take out only and we are a carless couple who live a couple miles away, we ate there. The salad was excellent, the raspberry vinaigrette a tad viscous but tasty. We ordered the pizza with lots of meat (cappaciola?). This is one unique and delicious pie. Neither of us recall such a thin crust in Chicago; lots of fresh garlic; good quality and quantity of meat. We ordered a dessert of chocolate and raspberry which was rolled in a sweet dough shaped like a crescent roll on steroids and drizzled with more chocolate. It too was both unique and delicious. The dining space is rather limited so we'll be doing delivery in the future, especially if we're to share this find with friends.

Okay, okay... You win, Apart. I just keep craving their delicious Noce y Gorganzola salad with the perfect, homemade balsamic. How could I possibly give less than 4 stars for a salad I regularly crave? Also, the boyfriend and I tried the Cacciatore pizza, and believe me when I say it was a game-changer. Now, all I ask for is a warm pizza every once and awhile. If this small and simple feat can be overcome, I will grant you the last and final star. Capesh?

Apparently I've thought about ordering from this place several times but just haven't been able to pull the trigger. Why? Well, first of all, it pains me to pay $20 for a medium pizza. Secondly, I'm too impatient to wait for delivery. Last night everything changed. Well, I was still disgruntled about having to pay $20 for a medium, but I needed some cheesy goodness and could not waste any more money on Dominos. At least they don't charge a delivery fee and have easy ordering through GrubHub. I did try to cancel the order when GrubHub estimated delivery in 1.5 hours but Apart assured me it'd be more like 45 minutes. OK, I could handle that. Sure enough, my pizza showed up in almost exactly 45 minutes. You know what, that was some awesome pizza. We ordered the Apart pizza (sausage, pepperoni and mushroom). You know when you walk past a pizza place and it smells so delicious that you start salivating? This pizza actually lives up to that smell. I'm so glad that we decided to order meat on our pie because it was seasoned perfectly. I loved it. Now I see why people spend $20 on a medium. Just look at all the years I've wasted on bad pizza. I'm a new woman!

Man I really like your pizza. But customer service and delivery leaves much to be desired. First time I ordered from Montrose they went through the process of taking all of my info then told me that I had to call Edgewater, tip to phone order takers, ask customers location First. Then I order from Edgewater and the pizza takes over an hour and is ice cold. Was craving their pizza again last weekend, after going through my order in detail the pizza takes over an hour again and again shows up cold, this time they missed the second pizza. I called and they said "well I didn't write it down". Um, is that my fault? They offered to make me another pie and send it out, but it would take an hour again. How is that an option? Finally ended up with a credit, but they didn't tell me how to redeem, I had to ask. In summary: pizza good, service BAD.

I am a pizza fan through and through & today, I was craving pizza. I called in for a delivery order & the man who took my order was very nice. I ordered a 14" Queen Margherita pizza, which totaled $25. I thought this price was a bit much for pizza, but being hungry & willing to give it a try, I turned the other cheek. It arrived warm and within a half hour of the order being placed which was a plus. The pizza is cut in triangles and was enough to feed two hungry adults. The pizza is very think, but the crust was nice and crispy. Some of the ends were blackened, but this gave the pizza a great flavor. The mozzarella was sparse, the tomatoes weren't very flavorful, but the basil was very flavorful. The sauce, also very sparse, was watery and was the consistency of Ragu pasta sauce. I ended up adding a ton of salt to the pizza to give it flavor. While the pizza wasn't a total bust, it wasn't very flavorful for the $25 + tip price I shelled out. Not worth the delivery, but probably a good pizza place to enjoy as a dine-in experience.

Ok. I've read half a dozen reviews about cold, limp pizza, and I want to do everyone who orders from GrubHub/delivery a favor. While you're waiting for your delivery (because, no matter how hot the pizza is when it leaves the kitchen or how fast it arrives at your door, it will inevitably cool some), turn on your oven to 400 degrees. Then, when your pizza arrives, you can put some if not all of the slices you intend to eat on a cookie sheet and heat them for 5 minutes. Voila! Pizza fresh from the oven. Your oven. Delicious. Besides that, Apart Pizza is so good--it's already got the delicious char around the edges that only a 500 degree pizza oven will give. The toppings are super-high quality, and they sprinkle the top with an herb mixture kind of like herbs de provence that really sets the whole pie apart, if you'll pardon the pun. Hooray!
(4)Jordan B.
Amazing atmosphere. Their garden is easily one of the most peaceful and calming places on the north side. Definitely good burgers most of the time though I'm sure I've received frozen patties once or twice. Order the sangria! Bathrooms are a little gross, the inside is too dark and there are hardly any vegetarian friendly options on the menu.
(4)Dana W.
the pizza was awesome!! definitely worth the price, and the delivery was 30 minutes faster than the predicted hour. the dessert roll/calzone was different than i expected- i thought it would be more gooey like "monkey bread," but it was still tasty and delicious! i just moved to this neighborhood, and i'm so glad i found an awesome pizza place so fast!! definitely coming back!!!
(4)Johanna P.
just ordered two pizzas, I asked for mine to be extra crispy and to have extra sauce, they took a bit over an hour to deliver and I literally live just under 5 minutes away. Pizza got here cold my pizza was not crispy and had no visible sauce. My BF's pizza had the skimpiest amount of toppings I've ever seen. It was edible I guess but not good. I was really expecting greatness based on the reviews.
(2)Rachel I.
I plan on ordering from Apart again. I placed an order on a very snowy evening and the pizza arrived late and on the cold side. BUT, even though it was cold, I was pretty darn good. We ordered a gluten free pizza with sausage, pepperoni and mushrooms; a margherita pizza and one of the sweet filoncino with chocolate and banana. All three were fantastic and I can only imagine that I will update my rating to 5 stars once I eat them while they are hot.
(4)Scott F.
The pizza is great, thin crispy European style crust and the pizza is not swimming in the cheap mozzarella cheese like most other pizza joints. The ingredients on the theirs pizzas seem very fresh and had great sausage. The style of pizza is one of our favorites. The first time we ordered from Apart the delivery and service on the phone was great. Last night we ordered for the second time but the delivery was late taking over a hour and half. When I called I was only told it was out for delivery but that they were very busy that night. They did not offer anything for being late. The pizza was cold when it got here so we had to heat it up in the microwave. I would have given them a 5 for first pizza we got from them, this lower score if only for the late delivery the second time.
(3)Katie P.
Oh no. The most perfect pizza does sometimes come at a price. Here's the thing...I ordered 2 pizzas on a Monday night. Fast forward 2 HOURS...with still no pizza. Called back and got attitude from the cashier who told me this was all the driver's fault. The driver, when he finally got there, said it was the restaurant's fault. It didn't matter b/c the pizza was cold anyway. A very unsatisfying night on the whole. The only bright spot was manager Bianca who comped me a meal of the same value on the next order. She seemed to know things were running amok in that place and took care of it. But, even with the comped food, it's gonna be awhile before I sign up for this again.
(2)Colleen B.
I dropped in today for lunch. They now have some newer, warmer wood tables and stools. They also have a lunch special: $5.50 for a drink and a 10-inch pizza. I asked for a box for my left overs, but it was so good that I ate it in the car on my way home. Yep.
(5)Louise M.
I am not sure where this pizza place got its name... but I have a theory. It could be named Apart Pizza Company, because all of the topping ingredients are placed apart from one another on the pizza. It is strange, but both times I have ordered the Quatrro Formaggi pizza, each cheese had its own separate quadrant of the pie. It was interesting, and I liked it! Beyond the fact that this place has yummy pizza, the workers are also very nice. One time they allowed us to get the lunch special, even though we called like 3 minutes after the lunch special time was over. Very nice people.
(4)Sarah M.
meh. apart pizza delivered tonight. toppings were fresh and tasty, but the cheese, sauce and crust were bland. i'd be willing to give dining in a shot in case the pies are a good deal better when they're right out of the oven. props for fast & friendly delivery!
(3)Jennifer B.
I work not too far away and we were having a busy day on a Friday and wanted to order pizza for everyone. I called with a pretty large order and was so impressed with their customer service. The woman on the phone was helpful, nice and super appreciative. It was such a pleasant experience. To have good customer service AND great pizza is hard to find. Apart is a winner!
(5)Kevin B.
Great pizza and great service!! I love the sausage pizza and everyone there is soooo friendly. And the Lunch special is such a good price!
(5)Dustin A.
Apart is awesome. To me there are 2 brilliant pizza places in Chicago, and they are: Lou Malnati's & Piece. Apart is in the next tier. Still pretty good. Apart is the pizza I get when I am in the mood for traditional Italian thin crust, and it is always awesome. Free delivery, and Mondays/Tuesdays if you buy an XL pizza you get one free. The Apart pie is my favorite... I have had a couple pies that I did not enjoy, such as the queen margherita. That one was pretty bad... but again, I love the Apart pie.
(4)Kevin H.
I love this place! I'm always on the hunt for the best pizza places and this one tops the list. They only have Italian style thin crust pizza (SUPER thin and cut into triangles rather than sqaures, like we are used to in Chicago) but the pie so good that it will make you forget about deep dish. I love their lunch specials, I get a 10 inch individual pizza and fountain drink for just over $6! I usually get carry out because I live right around the corner but they also have free delivery. The people that work there are very friendly and even know me by my first name.
(5)Michael S.
Despite Tina B's surmise: "Anchovies and Ovaltine.... Dude, are you sure you're not preggers?," I'm really not pregnant. But I do love my anchovy pizza. And I've sworn off the thirst quenching Ovaltine. Last night's anchovy, mushroom and black olive pizza was the best I've had. I told them to feel free to be generous with the anchovies, and they were very generous. It was promptly delivered and inexpensive, too. Anchovy pizza leftovers for breakfast - without the Ovaltine. MMMM. Their menu has so many creative combinations that I'll re-patronize repeatedly.

Finally a neighborhood pizza place that my wife doesn't dismiss as "too creepy". Realized on Wednesday it was open and tried it last night. Apart will definitely crack into our take out rotation, giving That Little Mexican Cafe an occasional rest. Their pizzas are thin crust and creative. We went with the Francese (yes, there is egg on the pizza; yes, it is good) and the Capriciosa (a lot of artichokes here - unless you are some kind of freak you won't likely need to ask for extra artichokes). Both were great. We also randomly tried the sweet filoncino (chocolate), and liked that, too. To this layman's eye it seemed like pizza dough filled with a not too sweet chocolate cream and topped with powdered sugar. What was ordered as a throw in became a highlight. For $18 we got 2 personal pies, the dessert and two cans of pepsi. Good deal. Star scoring key: 5 = Spectacular 4 = Better than average, really enjoyed it 3 = Average, don't regret it 2 = Disappointing 1 = Abysmal For more of my reviews see travelcasserole.blogspot…
(4)Gayle G.
Oh, I was hoping for better. I'm not even sure it earned 3 stars for me. Mostly, because I realized this a.m. that I was overcharged for my pizza. I ordered a 14" and was charged for an 18". I will say the pizza arrived quickly and it was warm. I ordered a Margahrita and pretty much got cheese pizza. Marg usually hase blobs of cheese, tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. This was dried basil sprinkled on cheese pizza. It was tasty, the crust was ok, but nothing spectacular and not really worth the $12.50 for a 14" or $14.75 for an 18". We also ordered a filoncino -- basically a sweet pizza creation. Nutella in dough that's rolled up, baked and sprinkled with powdered sugar. That was pretty tasty. Overall, it was "eh". I could take it or leave it. I prefer Pizzeria Antica in Edgewater for that same style of pizza.
(3)Jo-Elle M.
I had Apart pizza delivered last night, and not bad...not bad at all. I am by no means a pizza snob, but I really enjoyed the thin crust pizza like the type I was served in Italy. The crust was light, not too crispy and the sauce tasted very fresh. I had the tomato/shrimp pizza, and my only complaint was that the center of the pie was a bit soggy and stuck to the box. The order taker on the phone was upfront about the time - admitting to being "slammed" and didn't overpromise. The delivery guy was friendly and came before the expected time. I will definitely be trying Apart again - and maybe venture into the salad arena.
(3)Ellen F.
I learned three new things about Apart Pizza when I visited them for the first time yesterday: 1) They offer FREE DELIVERY. Seriously. Who does that? And not only are they willing to deliver something to you for no additional charge, but they are offering to deliver something that you very likely want. 2) I thought their lunch special was $5 for an 8" personal pizza and soda, but it is actually $5.50 for their personal pizza, which is 10", and a soda. What a lovely deal! 3) They care about their pizza and your experience. The woman behind the counter explained that while some of the toppings on their signature pies may sound a bit odd, it's all about pairings and how the toppings taste together. We decided to stick with a good ol' standby, sausage, which was delish, but I definitely appreciated the attention taken in explaining the signature pies.
(5)Ramon C.
This is easily the best delivery pizza I've ever had. High quality ingredients, super thin crust that isn't crackery or soggy. AND! 18.75 for a large pizza? You can't beat that. less than 3 Apart Pizza
(5)Megan G.
Three and a half stars, really. Got there to dine in at about 7 on a Friday night (we were going to do delivery, but based on previous reviews we just didn't want to take that risk) and had our choice of the three tables they have. The soda fountain was literally tall enough for me to take a shower under (I am not a short person). I actually had to reach my arm up to fill up my cup. Seems unnecessary, but I got a laugh out of it. Plus soft drinks are included in the price of the pizza. We ordered two 10" pizzas: the Capra-Ruccola (goat cheese and arugula) and the Cacciatore (ham, pepperoni, bacon, onions, garlic). Yeah that's right, a meat pizza. I'm eating meat and I'm a bad Lenten-Friday Catholic. What are you gonna do about it? When the pizzas came out I was a little disappointed to see that the arugula on mine was just thrown on top, raw. It took away from the flavor of the goat cheese, which was my main motivation for choosing the Capra-Ruccola in the first place. The chevre-to-mozzarella ratio was also kind of a bummer; the mozzarella diluted the earthy flavor of the goat cheese. The Cacciatore was a little more in line with my expectations (it's basically just a meat lover's pizza except with onions and real garlic). The bits of garlic added a great flavor. My main problem with both of the pies was the crust. It was a little too matzah-ey for my taste. I don't like my pizza crusts crunchy, and I really didn't like walking out covered in crust crumbs. I'll give it another chance eventually. It's a great price and I appreciate the topping combinations they offer. I just hope they step up their crust game.
(3)Jed L.
This place is great! I just moved to Chicago from New York and while I love deep-dish pizza, I've been desperately trying to find some traditional thin-crust. This place has VERY tasty pizza at an outrageously low price (lunch special is about 6 bucks for a pizza and drink!) The crust is usually a bit burnt, so if you don't like your pizza that way, this place might not be for you. But otherwise, dive in. I was also very impressed with their salad. I usually expect a side salad at a pizza place to be a few pale pieces of iceberg and a couple tomato slices. The side salad at Apart is definitely not that--it was a mesclun mix with baby tomatoes, peppers and cucumber. All in all, pretty tasty.
(5)ann s.
Just had my first Apart pizza, and I'll be back...maybe tomorrow. The Caprese was super salty--and delicous. A fair amount of anchovies, a nice smattering of black olive slices, and tons of capers. I don't know where they get their capers, but they're the plumpest I've eaten in a long time. I will be trying the Francese (ham, brie and egg) at my earliest convenience. I picked up--the lunch special is an amazing deal--but I could see where delivery could be dicey, in that the pizza seems to be at its best when it's fresh out of the oven. It seems it can get a little limp with the passage of time. The pieces I ate in the car were better than the ones I had about 40 minutes later. The counter guy was friendly. Menu says the lunch special includes a "fountain drink." Not to quibble, but doesn't "fountain" indicate it came from such a source? Anyhow, I got a cold can of soda, which I prefer anyhow.
(4)Dave C.
My favorite pizza in Chicago (today). I regularly order the bianca. I always over-order for the leftovers--my advice is to reheat in a frying pan instead of the oven to rejuvenate that awesome thin crust. I nearly removed a star because their online ordering is shit...but the pizza is just too good.
(5)mcquake j.
Yummy thin crust pizza. I was in northern Italy recently, and I will say I was surprised to discover how similar Apart is to the pizza I had there. Good value, too. Everything's quality. Simple but creative salads (like spinach with brie and cranberries or walnuts), tasty. And the dessert things filled with blueberries or nutella--hell yeah. Daily specials, too. Delivery option is ok but it's usually faster to go pick it up if you live close enough. Not a lot of room to eat in, but good outdoor tables in the summer. Dig it.
(4)Tara D.
I've been having a hard time adjusting to Chicago pizza as a former NY-er (you would think I've been here long enough, but apparently not.) But anyway, I'm happy to have found Apart; a place that delivers pizza that is more than the pizza-like approximation that the other nearby delivery places send. It's such a relief. The lunch specials make it an affordable lunch option, which is also good. If you're ordering from GrubHub, be aware that they usually give very long delivery estimates and then show up much sooner.
(5)Christian R.
Have never really been to the actual location and therefore cannot comment on actual service at the restaurant. However, I order for delivery all the time and the pizza is absolutely AMAZING! I have tried it all and it's absolutely GREAT! The quick, good, efficient delivery service makes it even better.
(4)Emily Y.
Again, Yelpers, thank you for leading me to this place. On our walk to Broadway Cellars the other night we passed Apart and picked up a menu. The pies looked intriguing and were not as ridiculously expensive as the new "designer" pizza place recently opened near us (Great Lakes -- not knocking it, just shocked at the price). So, what to do on a Saturday evening when you can't be torn away from the Olympics yet need sustenance? May I recommend Apart Pizza. We had the "Francese", which was ham, brie, and egg. It was a perfect thin-crust pizza with wonderfully fresh ingredients. I can't wait to try their other pizza creations. We also had the dessert pastry thing (name escapes me) and it was good, but I probably wouldn't get it again. It was basically nutella rolled up in pastry dough with powdered sugar. Certainly not a bad thing, but there are other desserts I like more. I will definitely be ordering from Apart Pizza again in the very near future. Free Delivery is a huge plus as well. Reasonably priced -- I have a feeling when we're not eating Tombstone (guilty pleasure), we'll be eating Apart pies.
(5)David K.
My friend had heard about this place and their thin crust oven fired pizza (he had just been to the Punch Neapolitan Pizza in Saint Paul) and wanted to give this place a try. The pizzas here are baked on an extremely thin crust in a wood fire oven. The crust is actually crispy when they are done baking it. They also do not skimp on the toppings! They put plenty of ingredients on the pizza so every bite has something in it (other than cheese, unless you just got a cheese pizza). The prices are also very good. They got a great lunch special (a 10" personal classic italian pizza with a can of pop for $5). We got two mediums (14") and a dessert and that was more than sufficient to feed 3 starving adults. This place is definitely more geared for delivery as their dine-in area is extremely tiny (something like 3 tables that might seat a total of 10 people?). But it is BYOB. If you are looking for some delicious thin crust pizza packed with toppings that won't lighten your wallet, this is the place to go!
(4)Karen S.
I tried the Capriciosa pizza (ham, mushroom, and artichokes) and the Contadina farcito (this calzone-type thing with egg, mushroom, ham, and bacon) and I will probably never try anything else. I crave the farcito as much as a good mac and cheese, and that's saying a lot. I don't really think I've ever eaten anything else like it. That's also saying a lot. :)
(5)Fred W.
BEST PIZZA EVER!! Super fresh ingredients Always very nice on the phone or in person at the shop. SUPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES AND GET GREAT FOOD. 1,000 times better than that National chain in the area
(5)Kerry W.
Ordered at 7:10, pizza arrived at 8:40, cold and completely smashed into one side of the box, in pieces. I live 3 blocks from the store. Called to complain and they said they will refund my credit card, but now I'm without dinner. Attempted to heat a piece up, but sauce was so flavorless and crust so chewy that it's completely unsalvageable. They made it right by refunding my cash, but I think I would have found the pizza disgusting if it had arrived in 10 minutes, piping hot.
(1)Laura H.
Damn you, Apart Pizza! Now that I've had your pizza, I am spoiled! I first tried Apart Pizza while looking for someplace that made Italian pizza. Now, I simply cannot eat regular, greasy, cheesy pizza anymore! This is real Italian style, which means thin but substantial crust, sparing with the sauce & cheese, so you can taste every ingrediant. I love the capricioso (ham Artichokes, & mushrooms) & diavolo (peppers, olives & pepperoni), but there are lots of goodies here! The price is great for a small pizza, perfect for 1 person!
(5)Meghan B.
I like this pizza a lot. It's nothing amazingly special, but I appreciate any pizza (especially thin crust) that is not Chicago style, and this fits the bill. Sometimes the dough is a little limp, but it is NOT dry cracker crust hell, so that's good enough for me. Ingredients are fresh and the combos are innovative. My personal favorite is the arugula pizza (Giardinetta). The four cheese is compelling, but they don't mix the cheeses --you literally get four sections of one cheese each. Fine enough, but ...odd. Luckily I've never had the delivery problems I've read about here. Ordering can be like a call into a war zone... but they bring pizza to your house when it's all over! So how can I complain? I say go for it.
(4)Gregory L.
I went to the actual restaurant one day last summer and had a great pizza, great service. So I tried them for delivery. A. They forgot half the order. B. They put olives on the whole pizza, when we asked for just half. C. The pizzas were cold on delivery (and they aren't that far away. Not going to risk that again. Still looking for a decent pizza place with thin crusts that deliver.
(2)Brandi M.
If you love uneven wood fired thin crust your prayers have been answered. The owner cares deeply about the business and art of pizza. If are from out of town you should go out of your way. I found them via Redtwist theater when they were running a coupon. Its better to get 2 smalls than 1 large. crust sauce ratio is better that.
(5)carrie l.
My favorite pizza in Chicago. Like some others, I don't really recommend delivery, though. I've done it twice and both times it's arrived not quite hot. I'm stuck on the Greca - feta cheese, peppers, fresh tomatoes, black olives, onions - and get cravings for it all the time, like some kind of addiction. One weird thing: the counter in the Broadway store is bizarrely high. I'm 5"6 but have to stretch to reach the soda fountain. WTF is up with that?
(5)April S.
I first tried this pizza from one of those daily deals, something for $35 worth of food, and man that bought a lot of food at this place. Not only is it cheap, but it is also one of my favorite pizza places. Ordering to have food delivered has a $10 minimum, which is not a problem, and there is no delivery fee. They're usually earlier than quoted. I like the thin crust, and sometimes it's nice to have pizza that is cut into pie slices instead of squares. I haven't had bad pizza at this place.
(4)Mark A.
Last night was my second time ordering from Apart. Nothing short of amazing both times. Perfect NY style thin crust pizza. Toppings are all top notch and delish! The signature Apart pie was really good but the Cacciatore was amazing!! I ate the entire thing. If you havent tried it you must!!
(5)tim l.
Ingredients on the "Apart" pizza didn't impress me or my wife. we both agreed it was 6 out of 10....we would have given 5 out of 10 except for the crust which has potential.
(3)Nick M.
My Memorial Day weekend part 9: (seriously I almost lost count, sadly I can't count to 10) MMMMMMMmmm pizza Nothing like sitting down after a crazy weekend and eating some good pie. I know Chicagoan's supposedly like their pizza big and lots of ingredients (almost to the point you can't taste any of them); eating so much you have to be rolled anywhere after. But for me and maybe the new style Chicagoan's love to eat smaller pizza with ingredients that fill your mouth with so much flavor your taste buds are screaming...yes!!!! Apart pizza does that for me and conveniently right down the street. They are super fast, friendly, fresh, healthy and give some great new style pizzas choices. What really does me in is that I am soooo picky about sauce (for me if they just ditched sauces in pizza, I'd be ok), Apart pizza sauce is perfect. Check them out!!
(4)Christopher J.
We had ordered from nearly a dozen pizza delivery places in the Andersonville/Uptown area in the past 15 months, and never quite found what were looking for: quality ingredients, imaginative menu, healthy options ... those types of requirements are usually reserved for sit-down dining. That is, until friends introduced us to Apart Pizza on Broadway. Apart Pizza is a pizza flavor orgasm for your mouth with free delivery during peak delivery hours (!). They make incredible pies like the vegetariana (artichokes, corn, peppers, fresh tomatoes, spinach) and the cacciatore (ham, pepperoni, bacon, onions, garlic) ... and super yummy salads with brie and cranberries. The pizza is very thin, which normally I don't go for, but is so delicious I make an exception. We will no longer order from the dozen other places... Apart is now our pizza home base.
(5)Erica T.
Not quite sure what to say about this place...I was in the mood for some thin crust pizza, but not your typical thin crust pizza like from JB's or Gigio's, but not super expensive thin crust pizza. So I checked out yelp and it led me to Apart. I definitely got THIN crust pizza. The pizza is flatbread pizza thin, which isn't so bad, except one place was flattened so thin there was a good-sized hole in it. Also, as others have mentioned before, because it's so thin, by the time it is delivered to your door it is not that warm. I really like the topping combos they offer. It sounded like the ham-egg-and-brie was pretty good, so that's what I had and I wasn't disappointed. I definitely would like to try other toppings in the future. So...just 3 stars for now, but I totally plan on trying this place again and hopefully it will turn to 4 or 5.
(3)Brian D.
ordered this stuff all the time. Great thin crust closest i've found to being NY style thin. Still not quite NY, but it's not that cracker crust cut into squares stuff that everywhere else is serving. Love it. lunch specials are a great deal and the 18" pie is awesome! Delivery guys are prompt always ahead of time and friendly.
(5)Betsy A.
I love pizza and like to try different pizza places. I was very disappointed with the taste. They put all of the goat cheese topping in the middle and WAY too much arugula. It was a $27 delivered pizza 18" with three toppings, I was starving and I couldn't eat it. It was really just gross. I worked at pizza places for over 10 yrs (through college and second jobs) and this was a disappointing experience with how well it is rated on yelp. In general I've found that the european style pizzerias in Chicago are over priced and don't taste very good.
(1)Rob C.
I've ordered from here below, and I know this pizza is pretty decent, however, it is completely unacceptable to wait 1hr and 45min (so far) for pizza! Apart is literally 3 blocks from my apartment. I don't even want it anymore. I was told 20 minutes ago that it was already out the door.... Update: after 2 hours and three calls (2nd one went unanswered) they couldn't find my order. Maybe it was a problem with Grubhub but in any case I never got the pizza. Very frustrating. Btw Grubhub sent me a confirmation email so it wasn't user error.
(1)Lynn P.
I went to this place solely based on Yelp reviews, so feel the need to offer a warning to those who might do the same. Ordered a pie for delivery. Received it on time, hot and by a pleasant delivery guy. That's where they get one extra point. But the pizza? Oh, Dear God, no. The Trentina sausage pie we received was just..... bad. Bland, save for the over spiced, bitter sausage, a crust somehow simultaneously dry and limp - a rare feat - that had been slightly burnt, leaving a lingering and unpleasant aftertaste on the palate. The clearest way I can explain its yuckiness: my boyfriend, who will scarf anything that's remotely edible, refused to have more than a second piece. "Nah, I don't want anymore." And right before I wrote this, per his request, I threw out the leftovers. That, my friends, is as bad a review as it gets. In sum, this pizza was forgettably mediocre. Which is memorably annoying.

I'm not a fan of thin crust pizza normally, but after a friend introduced me to Apart, I may re-evaluate my loyalty to Chicago-Style exclusive places. I've had a few pizzas, and so far the Cacciatore pizza (lots of meat), is fantastic. They've just been added to Grubhub, so now I don't even have to, GASP, talk to someone on the phone. Also, if you're going to try their dessert roll, go with the Chocolate and Raspberry, its the best flavor I've had.

Very simply, these guys have great pizza. Give 'em a shot and you won't regret it!

If you are looking for great pizza delivery or take out Apart is the best!! A bit on the expensive side for pizza, but its so delicious and fresh it is well worth it. Their crust is light and airy, and their mozzarella is amazing!!!!I often pair their meat lovers with a nice red wine, and add spinach to it as well, and it makes a fun quick romantic dinner at home!!

I really hope this place does well in this space, since several other establishments have not, and the corner could use something besides the Mexican restaurants. Don't get me wrong- I like El Norte, but sometimes I need some variety in my junk food. Luckily, Apart seems to have a pretty good combination of qualities that might allow it to last for a while. There aren't many other pizza places that do free delivery and are open until 11 PM, as far as I've noticed. Eating there certainly does not come with the ambiance that comes with Spacca Napoli, but on the other hand it's sure not as expensive, and you won't have to wait for a table. The pizza itself is very good and comes with a lot of nice, quality toppings in a thin-crust, more authentic pizza format. It's not too dry, and is appropriately cheese covered (or not if you don't swing that way).

My favorite pizza in my neighborhood. My favorite pizza is the funghi rustica and the Greek Salad. Delivery is typically pretty spot on except for the occasional time when the pizza is cold or burnt, but the taste makes up for it all.

The capriciosa pizza was delicious! Loved the thin crust with the ham, artichokes, and mushrooms - perfect balance of toppings and flavor. However, we also ordered the queen margarita pizza (mozzarella, tomatoes, basil) and it was so bland, it just tasted like eating thin dough with mushy tomatoes on top. So I guess your impression of this place will depend on what you order, because I would give the capriciosa 5 stars and the margarita 1 star. We also got the caprese salad which was fresh and tasty with arugula and a house made balsamic dressing. The service was perfectly fine too, so overall I would say Apart deserves a 3.5 :)

I live 3 and a half blocks away and ordered delivery at around 8 and was told it would get here "within the hour" 9:20 rolls around and I call back to check up on it because it's a friday night and my friends and i want to go out ETA? 15-25 minutes. i will NEVER order from here again, and when anyone asks, its the last place i will recommend.

Best thin crust pizza I've had in Chicago, hands down. I had the pepperoni and Hawaiian, and both were delicious with fresh and tasty ingredients. There was the perfect amount of sauce and cheese. The consistency of the crust was very nice and it tasted like an artisinal made-to-order crust you'd expect in an authentic Italian pizza place.
(5)Kesha B.
The pizza is great, but their dessert is not. We got the blueberry roll and were disappointed. The dough on the inside was completely raw, and the filling had no flavor. On the plus side the restaurant was kind enough to make the situation right by refunding us (they had also messed up our delivery). Overall, it would say this place is ok as long as you eat in and stick to the pizza.
(3)Ari T.
We went here after reading the positive Yelp reviews. The menu looks great, with interesting salads and pizzas with creative flavor combinations. The staff was very friendly. But taste is paramount, and this pizza was bland bland bland. I used the balsamic dressing from our salads to liven up the taste. It was better, but you shouldn't have to do that to make an artisanal pizza taste good. Sorry. The next day, I tried Bar Toma in Streeterville. It was exactly what I hoped Apart would be: tasty and memorable.
(2)Sophia L.
My man and I are always having to compromise when ordering to go. He always wants pizza or some unhealthy crap (sometimes im in the mood for it too), and I want salad, or something healthy to balance out the junk food.. Most pizza places that offer salads, are iceberg lettuce, wilted carrots and just overall ewww. I was so happy to find a place that DOES SALADS WELL!!! Fresh dark greens, simple and high quality ingredients. Goes perfect with a slice of their thin crust pizza. Love when I can get get healthy and tasty delivery! My new favorite spot.
(5)C N.
Great pizza. Grub Hub has a coupon for a free salad w/Purch over $30. Salad was good but small. Pizzas we got were Pollo Tuscano and Cacciatore. Both were excellent. Very thin crispy crust.
(5)Adam P.
I just had a pizza margherita for my first Apart experience and I've legitimately never had a more disappointing piece of "pizza" in my life. I've had thin crust, I've had unevenly cooked brick oven style, I've had cheeseless, but I can't believe I just paid more than $14 for what was effectively a flour tortilla with a tablespoon of (terrible) sauce, 5 leaves of basil an half a sliced tomato on it. Never again. Genuinely perplexed by the good reviews.

Maybe it's weird that I wanted pizza for my birthday dinner. Sadly, I ordered it from here. I ordered the Capriciosa Pizza with a side of pizza sauce on a gluten-free crust via GrubHub. It took about an hour. Fine. It was small (10", maybe) which was also fine. But it arrived cold, which destroys a gluten-free crust. I also received no pizza sauce, but got to pay for it (yaaaay). I said, "Hey -- it's cold outside. Things get cold. I'll just reheat it." Which made it disgusting. I threw the entire thing away and ordered another pizza from elsewhere. Which took another hour. I tried calling the GrubHub customer service line and hung up after being on hold for 20 minutes. And here's the thing -- I know stuff happens. I know gluten-free crusts are tricky. But if you're going to offer one, it had better be delicous and it had better be hot. I can think of many a thing I'd have liked to have spent $20+ for my birthday -- hookers, blow. At least I'd have been able to use them. Then again, not sure how I'd feel about a $20 hooker.
(1)Ruchi S.
This is the thin slices of thin slices! That thin triangle of goodness. My personal favourite is the pepperoni and cheese- simplicity! It will automatically transport you to New York, near the Statue of Liberty where the street vendor is handing out a slice for a miniscule dollar amount. If a pizza shop can provide that kind of nostalgia and awakening of the taste buds, why NOT?!!!!??? Love, Love this place!!!
(5)Jennifer V.
Personally I love the pizza here. I know it's not everyone's favorite thin crust, but I do enjoy it and there really are not a whole lot of choices in the area for delivery of any type of food. Unfortunately it is an incredible pain to order a pizza for delivery from Apart. I usually avoid GrubHub because the whole middleman thing seems to delay deliveries, but Apart rarely answers their phone. One time I called the other location to ask if this one closed, they told me to use GrubHub to order. So I used GrubHub. And I didn't get any food for 3 hours. No I am not embellishing this story. After 1 hr and 15 minutes I called the location and they finally answered. I was told that the kitchen didn't receive my ticket, so she apologized and added a free dessert. Another hour later I called again, she said the driver was on the way. 45 minutes later I called again and was told he should be there soon and my meal was comped. It's great that they comped my pizza, and I got over it. Until tonight when I spent the past 20 minutes trying to call before 9:45 to order a pizza. No one answered and I am obviously not going to bother with ordering from GrubHub anymore. Basically the pizza is pretty good, considering there are not many options in the area, but they don't seem to know how to professionally run a business. I will definitely not be wasting my time trying to order from Apart anymore. I

I work at a psychiatric rehabilitation agency and Apart donated 6 pizzas to our last event! Their generousity is much appreciated by our staff and clients. Oh and the pizza is delicious!
(5)Daniel S.
Had the cacciatore and apart pizzas, both were good, its a small place but fast service, they let us do half and halfs which was nice, parking over here was kind of a hassle but if you live near there its worth checking out
(4)Jessica S.
I was very eager to try Apart Pizza when I moved to the neighborhood a year ago. I am, I'll admit, a very picky pizza eater. I grew up in NYC and I'm always looking for good pizza. I ordered the pizza margerita and I was so disappointed. The sauce was watery and on the whole the pizza lacked the oily tang a pizza should have. I think that it is very overrated.
(3)F M.
So we started loving this place when they opened their first store at Montrose St. And then we moved to Rogers park and delighted they opened this place very close from us with delivery. Their thin pizza is awesome, their salads are always fresh. I prefer their personal pizzas as the bigger sizes are not as crispy as the personal ones.
(4)Lord Of T.
Better than average.........very good crust....creative. It is not your average pizza. Rustic is a was to describe, but in a good way.
(4)Honest A.
Pizza is good. Solid. But this place is managed like a trainwreck. Delivery always late regardless of time and weather. Orders mixed up, a lot. People handling phones with zero interaction skills. 16" specialty pizza with delivert, tax, tip. $33. Ill pass.
(2)Josh B.
One of the best thin crusts on the Northside! I have been a frequent customer of Apart Pizza Co. ever since I discovered them through grub hub a little over a year ago. If you appreciate fresh ingredients, ample toppings, crisp thin crust with a little crunch, then this is the place to go. Very low on the grease factor which is always important for me when it comes to good pizza. Reasonably priced, fast delivery and the pizza always arrives hot. I can say I've tried every type of pizza in the menu and they are all Da Bomb!
(4)Sophia M.
The pizza is good however the service and delivery time is the worst. You can go out buy ingredients and make your own pizza before it gets delivered. I called once to complain they acted like it was my fault that my pizza was set up for pick up when I had clearly asked for delivery. Not worth the hassle. No longer will be ordering food from them.
(1)Jennifer s.
Great pizza and great owner!!! Great vegan and gluten free options! The atmosphere is very relaxed. Loved the pizza!!! And they have free delivery (if you are in range). They have two locations, definitely check them out! They also have garlic knots!
(5)Danielle A.
We've been loyal customers to Apart for several years, telling lots of people in the Chicago-area that they had the best pizza around. However, after several service snafus--and food that seems to have diminished in quality--I don't think we will be ordering again. The straw that broke the camel's back was our experience this evening. We have a newborn baby at home and family visiting. So, at 7:15, we ordered $80 worth of food from Apart, using GrubHub for our order. Our receipt was emailed immediately, and GrubHub said our order would be delivered between 8:30-8:40. At 8:45, I called Apart to inquire about our order. The manager who answered the phone seemed completely unconcerned about the fact that he had "just received the order" through his fax machine. I informed assured him that we'd placed our order at 7:15 and that we had a receipt (attached), but he wasn't phased. "Well, I just got it, and it won't be ready until after 10:00." There were no apologies. No offers of discounts or free product. No commitment to rush the order. The nonchalance was infuriating. I mean, c'mon, say SOMETHING. Instead, he completely pawned the mistake off on GrubHub and continuously said, with an attitude, that I could either "cancel the order through GrubHub" or "wait until 10:15." When I asked for his name, he said "it is GrubHub's fault" and hung up on me. He's a 20-30 male, working as manager of the Bryn Mawr location on Saturday, August 29. Long story short: I called GrubHub, and no one answered. Apart insisted that they can't cancel my order, and they still refused to offer any compensation for the fact that our pizza, which was ordered at 7:15, wasn't delivered until almost 10:15. Though, judging by these recent reviews, many of which echo the same service issues, I'm not sure anyone will care that their restaurant is being handled so poorly. Look, maybe this WAS GrubHub's fault, though many people on Yelp have said that Apart claims to have lost their tickets. Still, ultimately, Apart chooses to partner with GrubHub. Apart will get my $80. And Apart handled this mishap as poorly as they possibly could have. So poorly, in fact, that they've lost this customer.
(2)Bill U.
My son and I found this place on Yelp after a Cubs game. Got off the Red Line at Bryn Mawr and walked right over to it. My mom lives in the neighborhood and we were visiting from the suburbs for the Cubs game. It's a little joint with a few tables. Most people probably order for pick-up, but we ate there. We asked if they had slices and they did not offer them when we asked. We ordered two 10 inch personal pizzas. Thin crust with just cheese and sausage. They were very good and tasty. We loved the crispy crust that had a mild burnt crust that added to the flavor. It was really good neighborhood pizza. We will be back for more. It was not too pricy and the people were very nice and helpful. My son and I enjoyed eating in the sit down area of this place. Quaint little nook to throw back some pie!!!
(5)Jessica Y.
We were feeling some spinach so stopped in for a Tricolore: fresh tomatoes, goat cheese, spinach (made to look like the Italian Flag) each eating 2 slices of the 18" pie. Small store front with one or two tables in the corner but most clientele probably order to go or for delivery. Love the bite to their thin crust. Fresh ingredients, not too salty, flavorful. YUM!!
(5)Jessica C.
I ordered take out on Friday 6/12/2015, had no issues with orders, sizes, etc. Also, they answered the phone immediately. I mention all of those because of other not so good service reviews. Also, they were pretty friendly upon pickup. Maybe not the friendliest, but perfectly fine, no bad feelings, even got a smile. Also, I've noticed most of the bad reviews deal with cold pizza. Look, I don't know how else to say this - this pizza is thin. Super thin. Unless you live 15 minutes away, it's going to get cold unless you eat in. I picked it up on a warm night, put the two small boxes in a foil lined grocery bag and zipped it, and covered everything in a towel and another bag. Drove about 30 min home. It was warm, not hot. The ones in the foil pouch did better. I did then put them in a warming oven, and they heated right back up (I slightly wilted my arugula). I don't do gluten free, I understand as others have said it's tricky - maybe it's not a good idea to get it here unless you're eating there? I guess what I'm trying to say here after all of this is that it's NOT going to be hot. I believe everyone that sometimes the delivery times are absurd, which is why I'll pick it up myself....but I'll also know that it's not going to be piping when I get home. Anyway, the pizza freaking rocks. I spent too much time on a Friday agonizing on where to get good thin crust. My husband loves it and I only love it if it's great. I'm a thick crust girl. This is oven fired, super thin crust Italian pizza, and it's very very good. We ordered the arugula pizza, the pepperoni/sausage/mushroom, a ham/brie/egg, and two desserts - nutella with banana and the apricot. Arugula pizza: Needed a LITTLE more salty flavor - I added fresh grated pecorino romano at home. But still, 4/5 stars. Pepperoni/sausage/mushroom: mushrooms were fresh and super thinly sliced, which is important, the pepperoni is great, and I'm EXTREMELY picky with sausage - it was great. Super fennel-y, well seasoned, not gristly 5/5 Ham/brie/egg: Incredible. I could die. The ham is to die for and I'm now planning on getting more of their ham based pizzas. Of course, I got take out, so the egg wasn't super runny, but still, didn't really matter. 5/5 Desserts: both are really good, but they were heavy on the dough, and the fillings thin out at the tips of the crescent. I cut both into 4, and really, only the middle pieces (the thick parts) had enough filling. I suggest splitting only with 2 people so you get enough filling per person. Also, note they are a little bit tough and not light/crispy. They aren't bad at all, and the fillings themselves are well executed. I just wanted to give you an idea of what to expect and know that the tips aren't full. 3.5/5
(5)Vera J.
Pizza is reliably delicious. So are salads. Service can be slow- I typically just do carry out which is fast and excellent. My favorites are the beet salad and the margarita pizza.
(4)Haydee S.
I would LOVE this place with all my heart and tummy if I didn't have to pay an additional $4 for gluten free pizza. The choices and flavors of pizzas are amazing. I had the Apart pizza and man...wasn't let down. Chicago thin crust has saved my foodie soul and...I'm from N.Y. and KNOW about some mother-loving pizza.
(4)Alyssa A.
My fiance and I had a random pizza craving last night at 9 PM, so we thought we'd check this place out. We've heard really good things about their thin crust pizza -- it's supposed to be as close to New York pizza as you can get -- and that's what we were in the mood for. The situation was a little awkward. We knew they closed at 10, but we got there at 9:15 and all the stools and chairs were put up on the tables. We had to double-check to make sure it was open and that there were actually workers in the place. But, we ordered our pizza and all went smoothly. As far as atmosphere, this place is pretty cool. It's extremely casual with a few tables and benches for people to sit. I wouldn't recommend going here with a large group of people, since space is fairly limited, but if you're there when it's slow, they have some good board games and for you to play while you wait. There's also a chalk board at front, but again, if it's busy, it'd be kind of awkward to draw on it, since it's right in front of the ordering counter. Going here during a time when they aren't about to close would probably be fun, and they're a BYOB place, so it's definitely now on our radar for places to hang out. The pizza itself was delicious. If you're looking for an affordable thin-crust pizza, this is where you want to go. For the two of us, it cost under $20, and we completely polished it off. We ordered a Queen Margherita and were pretty happy with it. The "fresh" tomatoes weren't as fresh as they could have been, but again, we got there fairly close to closing. The lunch deals are much better and we're going to try making this place a go-to for a Saturday brunch/lunch. Their combos are significantly cheaper during their lunch time (you can get a pizza that serves 3-4 and a 2-liter coke for under $20), and they offer free shipping from 11 AM - 3 PM. Since we went late night, we're not sure how this is going to work out, but we're excited to try. We were happy with our pizza and can't wait to try out their garlic knots and dessert.
(3)Elizabeth W.
This is my go-to place for pizza delivery or pick up. The proximity to my apartment is perfect, the prices are reasonable, the service is always friendly and the pizza is delicious. My personal recommendation is the the Quattro Formaggi, a combo of brie, goat, parmesan and blue cheeses. Adding on extra ingredients is very reasonably priced as well (I like to add chicken and spinach--yum!). The sweet dough dessert (Filoncino) is also a stand out. So next time you are perusing Grub Hub or want a pizza kick in the Edgewater area, this place is a must.
(5)John T.
This place does pizza right! It was thin, crispy, and definitely not greasy. A group of us ate in their small dining area and they were really helpful! We got a variety of pizzas, but our favorite was the one with an egg on it! It changed my mind on thin crust pizzas for sure and their gluten free pizza was very good. I will definitely be back.
(5)Bhakti W.
We are really patient and tried this place 7 times. I REALLY want to give this place a better review...but I really can't.... We have given them several chances because the pizza is really good. But every single time they screw up our order. Like really screw it up. Every time. One time they sent us a small instead of an extra large then made us wait an hour to "exchange" pizzas for our original size. That resulted in two hours of waiting for all of us to eat a cold rushed pizza and one of those hours was spent smelling the one we were supposed to turn in for the correct size. Any customer minded business would have comped their original mistake and let us eat it. They acknowledged it was their fault but made us wait. Zero apologies or concessions. They have put the wrong ingredients on (meat for vegetarians), forgotten all our sides, drinks or salads. They called us one time because our (very simple) order confused them. Then blamed the web ordering system for their confusion which they ask everyone to use (rather than Grub Hub which a note on their pizzas explains takes a percentage) saying their online system isn't very good. Than why the note that they prefer we use that system? Tonight I had to call 17 times before getting through to order by phone thinking that maybe that would be better... it wasn't. Last time I ordered (and waited 90 minutes), that the delay was because they proudly make their pesto (on their menu) fresh everyday and it was really good. Tonight I asked for pesto and the guy said they don't have pesto. I asked if they were out and he said they have never had pesto on the menu and don't have any there. Trying not to be argumentative, I said I was surprised because we had ordered it before. He kind of laughed and said "You sure?". They also gave me a free coupon when the pesto pizza had taken so long, which I now understand was because they don't have any so they had to manifest it from the thin air ;) ... but wrote on it for a free "dessert". That was nice, but they don't have desserts. I'm sitting here with the coupon clearly saying Pizza Apart on it and the words Dessert and the name of an employee Bianca... I guess that's just trash.... Total bummer to give a local business such a bad review. Unavoidable. Never going back.
(1)Brian S.
Good thin crust choice for pizza take in area. They do have a small dine in area but I would not reccomend. Ingredients are fresh, sauce is good and crust is crunchy. How can you lose?
(4)Monique N.
I just finished a pie and I have to say it was amazing! I love the thin crust, the sauce and I literally couldn't stop eating it. Fast delivery and I can't complain better than you average delivery pizza.
(5)Gary B.
While Andersonville has many pizza options Apart has become our go to place for really good thin crust pizza. I am a big fan of green olives and sausage pizza, unfortunately my enjoyment of green olives is not welcomed by the masses and many pizza places have stopped carrying them. Needless to say when I have that craving Apart is my first call. We have always had prompt delivery and as mentioned by a few others the delivery has shown before the stated time.
(4)Joseph S.
Whoa - just make sure you order literally 120 minutes ahead. Actually, don't, because this place is seriously awful. Sometimes it might take 10 minutes. Such inconsistency in their delivery times. But what do you care? You are just spending your hard-earned dough on a hot lump of flour, tomatoes, and cheese. (The prices here are ridiculous.) Me: Our pizza is 25 minutes late. (After 60 minute stated wait time.) What's the story? Apart: Let me check...[wait]...Your driver is out with the pizza. Should be 10 more minutes. Me: Would have been nice to know. Apart: Well once the order is out ...there is nothing we can do! Me: Huh...you mean you can't just call me? And let me know it's running late? Apart: Umm....yes, that's true, we could call you. Me: That would have been decent of you. Apart: ...[].... Me: Thanks. Twenty (not ten) minutes later ... pizza arrives. (Yeah, that's 1:45 for a thin crust.) It was COLD. Called them back and said it was unbelievable how they treated me....then they say "Would you like another pizza?" Holy cow. Are. You. Serious. As far as pizza itself, it's fine enough, when it isn't cold (usually is). I would never make a special point to eat here even if it wasn't managed by the Keystone Cops. After 2 consecutive 90 minute deliveries.... I never will again. Three star food....negative 1000 star management and service. They should seriously train people here as to how to NOT manage a restaurant. I don't know why I wasted my time writing this one. These dudes are going to be out of business in a matter of MONTHS with how they treat their loyal customers. No doubt in my mind.
(1)Kyle M.
I don't do thin crust, but when I do, I go here. Spiffy little shop up in Edgewater. The neighborhood sucks, but this antique little pizza joint is a diamond in the rough. My go-to would be the Queen Margarita pizza with fresh mozz tomatoes and basil. Very solid! Need I write more? Give it a try.
(5)S L.
gluten free pizza is fantastic. The service is incredible. Honestly, just good all around.
(5)m d.
Service has improved some since my last review, and this is still one of our main go-to places when we're feeling lazy or in need of some serious comfort food. I do recommend dine-in or takeout (if you're close enough to get home quickly) so that you can enjoy your pizza hot. It is way better that way!
(4)David R.
Delivery through GrubHub with no delivery fee and a $10 minimum = Back in my good graces Also, delivering in 45 minutes rather than the GrubHub estimate of two hours = much appreciated The "Verdura" calzone with peppers, spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms was quite tasty, even without marinara sauce inside. The online menu mentions that you have to request sauce on the side, for an extra charge, but the GrubHub interface didn't include the option. I requested the sauce and received it for no charge. Sadly, it was runny and bland, but at least it was free. No marinara sauce, plus egg inside--can this truly be considered a calzone? I'm saying yes. B+.
(4)Lucy R.
If there's one thing I'm not, it's a fan of thin crust pizza. Part of the joy of being a true Chicagoan is knowing the difference between good pizza and... everything else. It seems silly to me to order thin crust pizza in a city known for it's deep dish. It's all about the crust! Otherwise, what are you left with? A cracker with cheese, red sauce and maybe some toppings? I might have been proven wrong on this. Last week, girls night out started off at Apart Pizza. There are two locations, but we went to the one in Edgewater, on Broadway. When we pulled up, we thought perhaps we had misunderstood, and you could only order for take out -- it looks like a simple storefront with a window for ordering, but we took a chance and walked in. There are only three tables in this location, so we were lucky we got there early. It was a Friday night around 6:30 when we arrived and there was only one table left. Since all three of us were new to Apart, we ordered a bunch of food to try different things. Starting out, we had the Garlic Bites. WOW! They were not like any garlic knots (as they are usually called) I've ever had -- these were pull apart, and had the perfect mix of doughy goodness and garlic, which were served with both marinara sauce and ranch. Time for pizza! Still skeptical that there was no deep dish, I already was counting on not liking it, but I was pleasantly surprised. Apart's thin crust is the thinnest crust I've ever seen. It's so thin you almost don't think it could hold any toppings. Hand-tossed and gluten free, it is absolutely perfect. The first pizza we tried was the Cacciatore: Ham, pepperoni, bacon, onions and garlic. The presentation was great and it was so homemade we almost felt like we had made it ourselves. Next we tried the Greca: Feta cheese, peppers, fresh tomatoes, black olives and onions. I am not sure if the Greca is my favorite, or if the Pollo Tuscano is. That pizza contained more fresh vegetables and feta, and was served with oven baked chicken breast on top that was so moist, I almost wanted to order strips of it to take home. I really liked the freshness of all of the ingredients, the uniqueness of the pizza combinations and toppings, how bright and clean the small dining space was, and that each pizza was better than the next. Though I was hoping to have dessert after seeing that almost all the desserts were made with Nutella, after 10 slices I was pretty much done for the evening, if not the next two days. Having eaten more than I think I ever had in one sitting, I was not at all uncomfortably full as I usually am after eating my weight in deep dish pizza. I attribute this to the crust not being so heavy? There are so many pizzas, salads and desserts to choose from, I will definitely be back and would recommend this place to anyone
(5)Rick J.
Free delivery during peak hours, and delicious thin crust.
(4)Daniella S.
I hadn't even finished eating when I started this Yelp review..Fingers covered in ranch and all. Every time I order pizza delivery in Chicago I am reminded of how bad Miami's pizza scene is. I ordered a thin crust half Hawaiian, half Pollo Toscano and small garlic knots. Everything was delicious and the pie came with LOTS of toppings, which I appreciate. My only complain (just for the sake of complaining) is that my garlic rolls didn't have much garlic, but that could be because I ordered delivery rather than dined in.
(5)Jimmy B.
Apart is my go to thin crust pizza in the area. Really great tasting, tons of topping options, always super fresh tasting ingredients. We've picked up before but generally get delivery. The pizza is hands down awesome and no complaints there. The delivery isn't really all that great though. Generally they are late, but I've sorta come to expect and plan for that. The pizza is generally still warm, but it's at that verge of going cold sometimes. I can definitely tell the difference when I stop by and pick up myself. We're not far away, but maybe we're on the end of a delivery route, idk.. I ordered a bunch of pizzas from this place during a party and everyone raved about it, so it's not just me, the pizzas are great. If you plan for the possibility of a little wait for the pizza, you'll be happy with the product when it arrives! I tried their garlic knots, and they weren't that great. Too much bread not enough garlic... Definitely stick to the pizzas, that's what they do really well! Also, I got thrown off early on by the margherita pizza listing. It's not the margherita I expected with tomato slices etc. that's just what they call their basic cheese pizza. Just something that confused me early on in my ordering days, so keep that in mind. Now I want pizza lol
(4)Valerie H.
Apart Pizza Company definitely knows how to make an excellent thin crust pizza. The base is thin & crispy with a light buttery touch. Sauce is understated, enabling the toppings to stand front and center, which, in my opinion, is how a good thin crust pizza should be! Ingredients are fresh and delicious. If you're a fan of a high concentration of toppings, however, I recommend a small or medium size pie. When they make the large, toppings are noticeably sparse, making for what feels like a pizza that is lacking. (This is from my experience from ordering a large size only once. Maybe it was a fluke --I hope so!) Customer service is top-notch. I will definitely be back.

Does not live up the ratings and feedback. Ordered delivery since we all felt like pizza night. Ordering itself was easy through Grubhub and delivery was quicker than the estimated hour. But that's pretty much all the positives. I wanted crispy but what i got was lightly burnt (and on some sides more than a little). Stingy portions of the toppings, so so cheese. Have had significantly better and my quest for great thin crust continues...
(2)Saurabh P.
Not bad pizza. Thin crust, not very crispy delivered. Definitely have some creative pies which is nice. I also liked that they allow two completely different types of pizza on each half of the pizza. Prices are not bad, delivery was punctual. Online ordering was a breeze...

The pizza at Apart is incredibly delicious. They do a very thin crust, so if you're looking for Chicago-style, this isn't your thing. Everything is made fresh, and the pizza is perfectly baked every time. They also have fresh salads, and a baked dessert item with different fruit or Nutella fillings and a dusting of powdered sugar. The lunch special is an amazing deal. You can get a huge pizza and a soda for $10 or less. I order from here regularly and I am never disappointed. Not sure what the reviewer who mentioned no vegan option is talking about. They do have Daiya cheese.

My boyfriend and I ordered takeout from here a week or two ago. He greatly enjoyed his ham and mushroom calzone, but we were extremely disappointed with my thin crust cheese-less pizza. (They'll make your pizza vegan, but don't seem to have faux cheese). The "thin crust" was cracker-like and flavorless, the sauce was barely present, and I couldn't taste the garlic. I'm pretty sure my boyfriend got more sauce with his calzone than I got with my "pizza." Boo. While Apart's cheese-less thin crust wasn't inedible like Gino North's, Pie Hole is much better, because they at least have vegan cheese. Their thin crust is still sub-par though, cheeseless or not. I miss NYC pizza.

Ordered 2 small thin crust pizzas through grubhub at around 5:30 on a Saturday evening. Expected delivery time was 90 to 100min. Food arrived 15 minutes after the expected window and was cold, following a phone call from a delivery driver who claimed he was given the wrong address somehow and accepted no responsibility for the late delivery. After reheating the pizza in the oven, it was decent, but not worth waiting almost 2 hours when there are plenty of other pizza options in the area. Will not be ordering from Apart again anytime soon.

I ordered a pizza last week and it was the worst pizza I've ever had. Cold and burned. awful. i wish i would have looked at it when the driver was here because I would have sent it back.
(1)Emily C.
I have never before written a review for a place without trying their food, but the customer service here is awful. I tried to use the Groupon to order gluten-free pizzas. They told me that I could not use the Groupon for the $4 upcharge, per pizza, for gluten-free crust. So they wanted me to pay an extra $12 total - which I was completely willing to do, by ordering fewer pizzas with my Groupon! But I was not willing to pay $12 in cash on top of the Groupon for a completely arbitrary reason. . There was nothing in the language of the Groupon suggesting that this would be a problem. The entire reason I bought the Groupon was because I wanted to try the gluten-free pizza, which Apart advertises prominently on their website. I hate it when companies play dirty with the old bait-and-switch, and I will not be giving Apart my business.
(1)Scott S.
Pizza was decent enough, not great. I like the idea of the place, though - they help fund the arts somehow. I'd do it again for a quick take out lunch. Seating is very limited - just a couple little tables. Environment is clean and nice, just simple.
(4)Cristina P.
Yummy yummy yunmy! The apart specialty pizza ( pepperoni, mushroom, and sausage) was so good. Within minutes it was gone. Its more NY style which I love.
(4)Caroline M.
Their spinach, tomato and goat cheese pizza is the bomb! The medium size is perfect for 2 hungry adults. Not only did the pizza taste delicious, it looked awesome too! The crust is thin and cracker-y, which I like from time to time. It's definitely not NY style, so slice folding isn't really possible. And dainty people do not apply; this requires eating with hands. Their storefront had 3 little tables. Super cute. Not really the place for an intimate convo since the pizza guys will probably overhear you, but I loved it here. Are they byob? They should be! I'd even give the kitchen some beers! Too bad I discovered Apart only weeks before I move out of Chicago :(
(4)Mike L.
Great food, great people! Their this crust pizza is delicious! The owner is very friendly and our order was ready very fast.
(5)Margot F.
The pizza is amazing. It always arrives hot and way before the estimated delivery time. The only thing is the coupon for a can of pop should be offered on all sizes of pizza. Why would you not want leftovers?
(5)Mink L.
Pizza was pretty good! The girl who answered to take the order was amazing . We ordered one 14 inch pizza for two people and got half Tuscan and half cacciatore, cypress salad, and apple dessert all of which were her recommendations. We ordered the cacciatore with no onions and no garlic, but got it 45 minutes later with it on it. We were really sad. Called and the girl on the phone apologized and credited our account about $10. I'm definitely going to give it another try, but can't say it s my favorite pizza in Chicago for thin crust. Cypress salad was very fresh and tasty and the dessert was just okay. Have to give it another try.
(3)Karisma E.
Fast delivery and great PIZZA!!!
(5)Laura R.
I order from Apart several times a month for the lunch special. Less than $13.00 for a 14" pizza and a liter of soda. Can't beat that price and the pizza is terrific!
(4)Lance P.
Great thin crust pizza, I like a lot of their specialty pizzas. The staff is always friendly and they always have the pizza ready on time. Definitely one of my favorites.
(4)E J.
Love this place. Their thin-crust pizza is delicious, and both times I have ordered in they have arrived far earlier than expected! The only down side: they charge for delivered seasonings like crushed red pepper and oregano. But only 40 cents, so I will survive it! My definite instant Edgewater pizza fave.
(4)Gerry T.
Parking can be a challenge in this neighborhood, on this busy street but this shouldn't be a problem if you're walking distance from Apart Pizza (not to be confused with Opart Thai which is also on the north side). Of course we ordered their signature Apart Pizza. I forget the other one but it was good, trust me. The pizzas were fine but we're hearty Chicagoans (hungry Filipinos really, who immigrated here not for financial stability but rather, deep dish) and we were wanting deep dish as well. All is well, the pizza was crispy and satisfying. On a side note, I appreciated the unique art on the walls which was also on sale. The art shortened my wait as I imagined what type of imagination it must have taken to create those pieces. But those creative thoughts vaporized when the pizzas came out.
(3)Maria C.
Crispy thin pizza done to perfection! yummmm. I hate that I've been so close to this place and I just found out about it. They have a great lunch special for $6.20 - small pizza (enough to share) and a fountain drink, and they deliver for free. I am not courageous into being out of my element so I have only tried the sausage which comes with seasonings. The thing that i like the most is that you can ask for gluten free pizza.
(5)Miles D.
Lower your prices but fairly good pizza
(1)michael v.
I have moved to Chicago 13years ago from New York and have been on the elusive hunt for "good" pizza.......Until now that is, a friend told me about Apart Pizza and today i decided to have one delivered...... I have FINALLY found not only "good" but "great" pizza.. The thin crust was perfect...the flavor of the cheese was amazing, and it had just the right amount of sauce....not all globbed on like sooooo many pizza places in the city. Can't say enough good things about it....and am extremely happy i have found pizzza i can actually "enjoy" Kuddos to the owners of Apart for turning out such a good quality product, thank you
(5)Hayley H.
Maybe I got them on a lame night. I got the La Bianca, plus chicken. The edges were burnt, like crispy black. Like, not brown, but straight up black, carcinogen. The capers were good, but the goat cheese was a strange texture, like it was cooked too long....hence the burnt edges. I also had a sweet tooth and ordered a chocolate-hazelnut Filoncino. It arrived, sans dipping sauce, shaped like a turd in a box. LOL, i kid you not, a turd. Boo, no thanks.
(2)Colleen D.
A big giant MEH. We had a Groupon and husband went to get take-out. The veggie pizza was supposed to have artichoke, peppers, corn and spinach. The spinach was dried out and the pie needed olive oil to resuscitate. There was not an artichoke to be found and maybe one piece of red pepper. We also got the mushroom and sausage. Again, very skimpy on the mushrooms. Really? They are cheap! We got the Groupon to give them a try and live in the neighborhood. Needless to say, I do not see the need to order from them again.
(2)Melinda L.
What a surprise!! Thin, light, but not lacking flavor. This masterpiece of dough, sauce, and cheese was to die for. We also ordered the caesar salad that was sooo good. The lettuce was fresh, very vibrant, and the croutons were nice and crunchy. Not to mention, we ordered it for delivery. This was our first time ordering from Apart and the girl who answered the phone was extremely helpful. She explained the menu so well and was very friendly and patient. She helped us with our choices of pizza and salad. If I knew her name, I would thank her personally on this. After we ate our delicious pizza and salad, we called Apart back just to let them know how good it was. We will definitely be ordering from here again!!!
(5)Bradley S.
Groupon brought us here...the food will bring us back. (And the service was good too.) Since the Groupon was for dine-in or take out only and we are a carless couple who live a couple miles away, we ate there. The salad was excellent, the raspberry vinaigrette a tad viscous but tasty. We ordered the pizza with lots of meat (cappaciola?). This is one unique and delicious pie. Neither of us recall such a thin crust in Chicago; lots of fresh garlic; good quality and quantity of meat. We ordered a dessert of chocolate and raspberry which was rolled in a sweet dough shaped like a crescent roll on steroids and drizzled with more chocolate. It too was both unique and delicious. The dining space is rather limited so we'll be doing delivery in the future, especially if we're to share this find with friends.
(4)Kristy K.
Okay, okay... You win, Apart. I just keep craving their delicious Noce y Gorganzola salad with the perfect, homemade balsamic. How could I possibly give less than 4 stars for a salad I regularly crave? Also, the boyfriend and I tried the Cacciatore pizza, and believe me when I say it was a game-changer. Now, all I ask for is a warm pizza every once and awhile. If this small and simple feat can be overcome, I will grant you the last and final star. Capesh?
(4)Andrea H.
Apparently I've thought about ordering from this place several times but just haven't been able to pull the trigger. Why? Well, first of all, it pains me to pay $20 for a medium pizza. Secondly, I'm too impatient to wait for delivery. Last night everything changed. Well, I was still disgruntled about having to pay $20 for a medium, but I needed some cheesy goodness and could not waste any more money on Dominos. At least they don't charge a delivery fee and have easy ordering through GrubHub. I did try to cancel the order when GrubHub estimated delivery in 1.5 hours but Apart assured me it'd be more like 45 minutes. OK, I could handle that. Sure enough, my pizza showed up in almost exactly 45 minutes. You know what, that was some awesome pizza. We ordered the Apart pizza (sausage, pepperoni and mushroom). You know when you walk past a pizza place and it smells so delicious that you start salivating? This pizza actually lives up to that smell. I'm so glad that we decided to order meat on our pie because it was seasoned perfectly. I loved it. Now I see why people spend $20 on a medium. Just look at all the years I've wasted on bad pizza. I'm a new woman!
(4)Seth M.
Man I really like your pizza. But customer service and delivery leaves much to be desired. First time I ordered from Montrose they went through the process of taking all of my info then told me that I had to call Edgewater, tip to phone order takers, ask customers location First. Then I order from Edgewater and the pizza takes over an hour and is ice cold. Was craving their pizza again last weekend, after going through my order in detail the pizza takes over an hour again and again shows up cold, this time they missed the second pizza. I called and they said "well I didn't write it down". Um, is that my fault? They offered to make me another pie and send it out, but it would take an hour again. How is that an option? Finally ended up with a credit, but they didn't tell me how to redeem, I had to ask. In summary: pizza good, service BAD.
(3)Anna M.
I am a pizza fan through and through & today, I was craving pizza. I called in for a delivery order & the man who took my order was very nice. I ordered a 14" Queen Margherita pizza, which totaled $25. I thought this price was a bit much for pizza, but being hungry & willing to give it a try, I turned the other cheek. It arrived warm and within a half hour of the order being placed which was a plus. The pizza is cut in triangles and was enough to feed two hungry adults. The pizza is very think, but the crust was nice and crispy. Some of the ends were blackened, but this gave the pizza a great flavor. The mozzarella was sparse, the tomatoes weren't very flavorful, but the basil was very flavorful. The sauce, also very sparse, was watery and was the consistency of Ragu pasta sauce. I ended up adding a ton of salt to the pizza to give it flavor. While the pizza wasn't a total bust, it wasn't very flavorful for the $25 + tip price I shelled out. Not worth the delivery, but probably a good pizza place to enjoy as a dine-in experience.
(3)Christy S.
Ok. I've read half a dozen reviews about cold, limp pizza, and I want to do everyone who orders from GrubHub/delivery a favor. While you're waiting for your delivery (because, no matter how hot the pizza is when it leaves the kitchen or how fast it arrives at your door, it will inevitably cool some), turn on your oven to 400 degrees. Then, when your pizza arrives, you can put some if not all of the slices you intend to eat on a cookie sheet and heat them for 5 minutes. Voila! Pizza fresh from the oven. Your oven. Delicious. Besides that, Apart Pizza is so good--it's already got the delicious char around the edges that only a 500 degree pizza oven will give. The toppings are super-high quality, and they sprinkle the top with an herb mixture kind of like herbs de provence that really sets the whole pie apart, if you'll pardon the pun. Hooray!
(4)Jordan B.
Amazing atmosphere. Their garden is easily one of the most peaceful and calming places on the north side. Definitely good burgers most of the time though I'm sure I've received frozen patties once or twice. Order the sangria! Bathrooms are a little gross, the inside is too dark and there are hardly any vegetarian friendly options on the menu.
(4)Erika G.
Okay, Apart? Ummmmm, *sweats* . . . . I know my first review of you was only in . . . January - when we shared our first of your pizzas together, but . . . I love you! I've thrown away all my other pizza menus - I don't call them anymore, and want you to be the only pizza joint that delivers to my house. Really . . . I don't need Giordano's or Tedino's or Aroma or Calo or Ranalli's anymore - that's just junk food, I'll only . . . eat yours from now on! Plus, you're hot! And sooooo fresh *winks*! You of the yummy thin, chewy crust. The perfect amount of cheese. The large New York style slices. The interesting ingredients! Really. I see a long and blissful relationship . . . working my way thru your delicious menu and forsaking all others (until when/if you start to suck). It's even fun to walk over to the store, dish with the cute, friendly guys working there, and then have the goods delivered. And it is delivered promptly, hot and fresh, often with a bonus soda. Apart . . . mmmmmmmmm, don't ever part!

Weight watchers delight for great pizza! I want good pizza that is healthy but still taste like pizza, you know? I like this place for that. I really like Pizza Apart! It has became a regular in my 'treat' schedule. PA is around the way where I live in Edgewater. I get the "Verde"; light sauce, thin crust, broccoli, cheese, spinach. YUM! For a personal, its cheap, comes with a pop, and just a enough food. The pizza has always been so good, the same taste every time and a short wait for pick up. By the way, I am still losing weight, too! #winning! I also like the little place they have. Its small, but still warm and inviting. I love to come in and wait for my Verde in the big comfort chair LOL! They have personal letters from clients on the wall, which shows they value the people that they serve. Customer service is always good! They have table and chairs outside and inside, with a few games to play outside. Again, small, but still inviting. I was surprise to see PA's stars not being higher, but I am sure they will read the things on here and they hard to improve, if need be. I like PA. I more than likely won't go anywhere else for pizza in Edgewater!
(5)Megan M.
I love apart! Their staff is amazing and the food is delicious. I have tried almost every pizza on the menu and have never been dissatisfied. You can tell they take pride in using high quality and fresh ingredients. The icing on the cake is their delivery. I have never had a delivery time longer than thirty minutes and they usually arrive well before the quoted time. They also deliver in major snow storms, which is awesome. Order a cappricola you won't be disappointed.
(5)Liza P.
This place is a bit on the expensive side, but the pizzas are delicious. If you're going to go there in person you should definitely call and order ahead of time, because otherwise you'll end up waiting quite a while for your pizza. There are a couple of tables, so you can sit down and eat there if you really want to, put this place is definitely meant to be more of a carryout/delivery restaurant. A 14" pizza will feed two hungry people or three not very hungry people.
(4)Chet M.
Had some issues with the first pizza but Michael made things right on the second pizza. Pizza is good. They cool!
(4)Courtney R.
We've ordered delivery from Apart on Broadway probably 10 times. I bought up a ton of the Living Social/Groupons when they were offered, with no doubt that I would use them before they expired. So glad I did. Their pizzas are great. You can tell that they use good quality cheese and other ingredients. I prefer a chewier crust really, but this is the closest thing I've found to floppy NY style pizza within delivery range since I've lived in Chicago. Our most repeated choices are the arugula and goat cheese, and the one with ham, egg, and brie. We've ordered lots of others that have been great though. The signature, the one with all the meat and bacon and garlic, pepperoni, margarita, and arugula with tomato - some are light, some are really heavy, so chose wisely. No complaints on any of them. Their salads are great - when they get them right. We often get the wrong dressing, the wrong salad altogether, or just one ingredient that's off. Once we ordered the spinach salad, and instead we got a big container of arugula - no spinach. We surely would have made a different choice had we known. Sometimes you just want what you want. The only other issue we've had is that the pizzas arrive cold. Well maybe not cold, but definitely not piping hot. Warm. Warm pizzas, not hot pizzas. We pretty much always have to throw a few slices on a sheet in the oven for a few minutes before we eat. Neither the salad orders getting messed up or the cold (aka warm) pizzas have deterred us from ordering from here all the time, so obviously the end result is totally worth it.
(4)Jenny Y.
I love wood-fired pizza and have been wanting to try this place for a while. Thought it was a great opportunity to do so when Groupon offered a deal. Unforunately, I had much better and was left disappointed. Ordered a pizza with pepperoni, pepper, olives and it was OK. The crust has thin and crispy and the pepperoni had good flavor. The other pizza we ordered was supposed to be ham, peppers, artichokes, and mushroom - it was missing ham and peppers. Futhermore, the edge of the crust was burnt, and not just a little - they were black. So I would recommend checking your food before leaving. We had the pizza about 15 minutes after picking them up and they were no longer warm so maybe that made it less flavorful. The place is tiny and quaint, but only has 2-3 very small tables from what I remember so best for a fast bite or carry-out.
(3)Daniel M.
I have lived down the block from this place for 2 years and finally tried it the other day. I don't why I've waited this long to try it. I got the sausage and a salad with gorgonzola and walnuts. The salad was very tasty and the pizza was awesome. The crust is very thin and crispy, while the cheese is cooked to an orangeish/golden brownish color. The pie also had a good mix of sauce on it. It's pie cut like a NY style slice but is nowhere near as doughy as a typical NY style slice. In other words, if you tried to fold a slice in half like those clowns do out east, the crust would crack, not fold. I definitely prefer my thin crust square cut, but this pie is so good they can cut into animal shapes for all I care. We ate there and our pizzas came our faster than I anticipated, which was nice. If you like thin crust and are in the area you will like this place.
(5)Luan N.
I like that you can get quality thin crust pizza in 10" size. The Francese pizza was interesting with brie, bacon, and egg. Compliment with caprese salad which comes with tons of mozzarella. Even sweeter is I got to use a chicago half off certificate!
(4)Dan K.
Tried this place based on a recommendation - glad I did. Friday night delivery only took 45 minutes and the pizza was fresh, hot, crispy, and delicious. I ordered their namesake pizza and was not disappointed. I almost never eat pizza as I generally stick to low-carb, but unlike the guilt of sneaking something unsatisfying - this place is absolutely worth it. Excellent super-thin crust adds crunch and texture to the great cheese, sausage, and vegetable toppings. The 20" has generous slices that feel natural to fold over and enjoy with your hands. My new standby pizza place.
(5)Jason A.
I'm always on the lookout for a new pizzeria to try out and Apart Pizza doesn't fail to please. The moment I saw my Funghi Tristi (mushroomz) pizza ready and placed on my table, nothing but the look of a hungry wild boar was on my face. The thin crust pie was great. I loved my pizza so much it burnt to roof of my mouth. Plus you get a free soft drink with any 10" pie, which is cool. Definitely coming back here again and recommend.
(4)Yanyao N.
This place is right across the street from Northside Toyota, so if you're in the neighborhood buying a car, Apart is the PERFECT place for a celebratory pizza (and very affordable)! I ordered the 10" Capriciosa (#5) with ham, fresh mushrooms, and artichokes (my current obsession) and tried some of the Apart signature (#22) with sausage, fresh mushrooms, and pepperoni. Each pizza comes with a free fountain drink so you're looking at a really cheap and delicious meal. Both pizzas were fantastic, and because of the cracker thin crust, didn't leave me with that bloated excessive pizza consumption feeling even though I struggled to finish the 10" by myself. I really enjoyed the quality of their toppings. The sausage on the #22 was so flavorful and the bites of the #5 with artichokes were heaven! And it gets even better.... the staff! They were some of the friendliest and happiest staff I have encountered. They seemed happy to be at work making these beautiful pizzas and are exceptionally friendly to customers. Not in the "I'm your server and I'm going to be polite and schmoozy so I get a bigger tip", but "I love my product and am genuinely happy that you're here and having a good time". LOVE! A word of warning to those who are on the short side: The soda machine is built for giants. Mr. N had to help me because I couldn't reach. Had he not been there, I'm sure one of the staff would have been happy to, but just a heads up. :)
(5)Cameron H.
It was a Friday night in March. Not really in the mood to go out. So, we decided to order pizza. I am all about trying new places. So, looking through the drawer, we found a menu for Apart Pizza. None of my friend had tried it, so I decided to be the first. From the menu, there weren't a lot of options. However, what was listed looked good. We ended up ordering: 32. Quattro Formaggi: brie, goat, parmesan, and bleu cheeses (in quarters) and we added Spinach. It arrived quick and in good condition. It tasted ok. Ordering 4 cheeses such as the ones listed above, you would think that it would have lots of flavor. Unfortunately, it didn't. It looks as though the spinach was just thrown on the pizza as there were slices that barely had any spinach on it at all. Lastly, the crust, very thin (my favorite) but very soggy. I would have preferred it to be more crisper. Not sure if I would order from them again.
(3)Sandy A.
Jimmy's now delivers up to at least Granville. But if you want NY/Neapolitan delivered to Edgewater on Mon., you're still ltd. to Apart.
(4)Nicole C.
NO NO NO NO NO. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea when I was too sick to leave the house- to order from here. 2 hours later my pizza appeared. Cold, and a little soggy, but still good in a weird way. No, this is probably more my fault than anything, but I dont care who you are, or how you make a pizza. It should not take 2 hours to reach its final destination!!! If people like your product this much, do something about the long wait times on delivery, or just plain stop delivering! Otherwise? It was amazing. I live in Chicago and am just not a huge fan of the pizza...now I know where to go as long as I can leave the house.
(3)Joe M.
Eh. Nothing special. Pro: vegan cheese. Con: pizza was just ok. Wish I ordered from somewhere else. Impressed by the gluten free crust option though.
(2)John M.
First off--this is not New York-style pizza. True, it is thin crust, but much like all deep dish is not Chicago-style, all thin crust is not New York-style. That being said, they do a very good job with the thin crust here. There's a nice spotty quality to the bottom of the crust which is cooked on the floor of a gas oven. The crust overall is very crispy--it cracks rather than folds--however it is not overly cracker-like, which has been my experience with thin crust-style pizza in Chicago. The service here is very friendly and attentive. It's kind of out of the way unless you live in the neighborhood, and the soda fountain is curiously high up, but I'd make a visit out here to give it a try and would gladly come back if I happen to be in the area.
(4)John C.
Paid $10 more than the pizza was worth. Had the veggie medium pizza, and it was like soup in the middle. I understand some pizza restaurants warn you that adding more toppings will make the pie a little moist, but that should be your warning sign to try a different restaurant. But when Apart's own specialty pizza is a bowl of soup, then I think you should re-think being called a Pizza Restaurant. You obviously are not good at making pizza, so why don't you try something else like sandwiches. I wish I took a picture. The picture alone would have made you look at a different pie option. If you know how to cook a pizza correctly, you should not have this problem. My friend who ordered at the same time got only 1 topping on his pie, which looked a little crispier than mine, but still in my opinion way over priced. Just because you charge your pizzas a premium price, does not make the pizza premium.
(1)April W.
UGH! I hate hate hate that I have to do this. I so want to love this place. All in all the pizza was decent. But it arrived cold, it was TINY, for the price and it really didnt have much flavor, for the price. If I was paying half of what they charge, I may not be so disappointed, but it cost me 30 bucks to have two personal pan pizzas that were cold and the crust was rubbery. I had the margherita and a white pizza with capers and goat cheese. I probably wont be back because of the price. IF it was cheaper...maybe.
(2)William R.
Great Pizza!
(5)Yakov B.
Absolutely, hands down, the worst Neopolitan pizza I have ever had. The crust had the stiffness of a cracker, the sauce had the sharp zing of tomato paste with the thickness to match, the cheese was non existent, the sparse basil leaves was like eating, well, plain basil leaves, and there was oregano sprinkled on the disgusting tomato paste sauce. The staff was very nice, so that was the one plus.
(1)Christina M.
Good pizza very tasty even for thin crust and I hate thin crust. A little pricy thought - $15 for a small pizza and drink. Good service
(4)iddells E.
Just learned that on Mondays and Tuesdays, if you order an 18-inch pizza, you get another 18-inch free! That's $21 for 2 huge pizzas of excellent quality. How awesome is that???
(5)Jason L.
This little storefront is the BEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER ATE! AWESOME ingrediants. Delivery, no matter what all the other reviewers experienced, has never been an issue for me the 4 times I have ordered. The clincher for me is the price. Great deal, great food.
(5)Cam M.
I picked up the Groupon for this after hearing some nice reviews from friends. I read through their website before ordering, and to get an idea of their prices/offerings. The different pizzas sounded amazing. albeit a bit different from what I'm used to (the heavily Americanized versions). I ordered a large sausage pizza, a Raspberry Chocolate Filoncino, and a 2-liter of pepsi for pickup. My total was about $25. Not bad. I live about 20mins or so north of the location via the L, so this worked perfectly. Staff... The staff was friendly both on the phone and in person. I butcher how I say new foreign words pretty badly. They were able to translate my attempts into what I meant. Gold star to them. Pizza... The box felt really really light. Granted, I'm used to eating deep dish pizza where even a small weighs as much as a brick. We are in Chicago, Deep Dish is a bias even for us transplants (6yrs in the city). Tasted good. It had a nice sweetness to it, crust was moist without being mushy in the middle with a definite crunch the closer to the edge that you got. Very little sauce, thin layer of cheese, with about 2 inches or so between pieces of sausage. Somehow, this minimal approach worked. I ate half the pie in a sitting, feel delightfully gross, and will be slipping into a food coma within about 10mins. Would I buy their pizza again? Probably, but I'd need to be in the right mood. I'd do delivery next time. At this point, there are other places that are much closer to me that I haven't tried yet. Also, I live across the street from a Giordano's...I'm a regular there for a reason (with a waist line to prove it). Raspberry Chocolate Filoncino Why have I not heard of these before? Tis a tube pastry thingy filled with sweet concoctions. The glutton in me approves of these things many times over. I had no idea what they were going into this, I figured it'd be like a Sweet Pizza thing from Papa Johns or Domino's...and I was way off. Eating it, I feel like I'm inviting diabetes into my life. Would I buy one of these Raspberry Chocolate Filoncinos again? Yes. Many times over, yes. I think it might taste amazing frozen/chilled. However, I try not to eat this type of sugar load more than once every month or two. Conclusion: If they do a Groupon again, I'll buy it again. If I move to within walking distance of the joint, I'll buy it frequently. With where I live now? Maybe twice a year. Who knows, I plan on eating the rest of this pizza for lunch tomorrow, so if it is amazing cold/the day after, I might order more frequently.

Hated the pizza. It also arrived cold when it wasn't even so cold out.

OH MY GOD! THEIR PIZZA IS SO... ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz.... Nothing to it. Not much sauce, not much cheese, not much substance. Plus what crust IS there is hard enough to cut glass. Or the roof of your mouth. (I am not a stuffed snob either, before you go thinkin' that silly notion.) Their hazelnut/chocolate dessert was good, once you got past the ten pounds of un-filled dough. They got the salad right. Kinda felt ripped off, and this is after using the Groupon on it. Strive harder guys. Don't waste your time. The passed out cat in the pix says it all: media3.px.yelpcdn.com/bp… Cheers.

terrible service! incompetent staff! pizza that was considered mediocre at most, if, and only if, you enjoy a pie that was dipped in water and grease. people. stop giving good reviews out because it is near where you live!!!
(1)Jonathan F.
more like Garbage Pizza Company.... I feel ripped off at this place and thats WITH using a groupon. I ordered 2 large pies. I could not believe what I got. I received a this soggy cold pizza that only had toppings for the middle half of the pie. The rest was the bread. Ridiculous. Since when does the CRUST of a pizza (you know the part without toppings) consist of half the pie???? The toppings were tasteless and tiny... I didn't even notice the ham or bacon because they were as crumbs on the pie and I am NOT exaggerating. I will have to post pictures of this soon. I was expecting it to be tasty at least... NOT. The ingredients were not fresh. Probably because I used a groupon? And to think I gave them a tip when I placed the order... And oh, another thing... The staff who work here are incredibly clueless. I ordered my pies and sat down (in the chair directly in front of the counter). You would think that they would LET ME KNOW when my order is ready... instead they dont instead they keep the pizzas on top of the oven... in the back.... and im there waiting...for 45 mins to an hour... are they that busy? They have 2-3 people standing at the counter not doing anything half the time. Horrible customer service and food. I especially found it funny when I asked for crushed red peppers the guy and the counter threw it at me and asked you paid $5.97 right? (I had a $35.00 groupon taken off)... they said ok... If it were possible to give 0 stars... this is the time. I will not be coming back to this place. What a waste of time and money.

I used to live a couple blocks away in Edgewater, and in my house the mere mention of "Apart" elicits a single reaction: a loud "NOM!"/giant smile. I was very surprised to see some of the negative reviews, because I have ordered delivery from them at least 10 times and never had a problem. The crust: thin, crunchy, divine. Ingredients: flavorfull, redunk. The quattro stagioni nearly melts my face off with deliciousness. The only thing I would change is their popularity. They are the kind of place you wish no one else knew about, because the delivery times can be significant. I now live in Lakeview and I miss you. May we not be "apart" too long (...i know, groan).
(4)Vic C.
Love the pizza. Hate the service. I've called on numerous occasions this past month and never get an answer. So I check the website to verify the hours to find that their posted hours are Monday-Sunday 11am - close. Now what the hell is that? 11-close?! So it can't be me. I call again a couple of weeks later because the mood hits me for one of their delicious portabella mushroom masterpieces and I can't even get someone on the phone who speaks english. I had to call twice because I thought I had dialed wrong. Seriously, it should not take an act of congress to order a pizza. When a guy wants a pizza he doesn't want to spend a week negotiating an order.
(2)Char Y.
I came with a coupon & had to wait additional 30 minutes even though I ordered 1 hour prior. We ordered cacciatore - TOO greasy with all the meet tricolores - ok, very fresh tasting due to the vegetables on top filoncino - bad, the dough is too thick & just was not dessert like at all I don't think i'll be going back there for pizza, there are so many more pizza places to try in chicago.
(3)Mathew O.
In the mood for a cold pizza delivered in an hour or so? This place is sure to please you! Be sure to order the $8.75 spinach salad as well. It will make you laugh and leave you hungry for more!
(1)Jonathan P.
You know you are in the neighborhoods when you are able to find real Italian pie cut pizza. Everything is super fresh and you can tell that each pie is made with care. My favs include the Francese and the Pollo Tuscano. Take that deep dish!
(5)Brandon H.
Very good stuff! I'd describe it as NY style lite. Not as thick, and is a bit lighter on the cheese and grease and your standard NY slice, but it's big and has that NY feel/taste to it. The crust is a bit more cracker like at the edges, so it's not 100% foldable, but you could fold the cheesy portion of the slice no problem. We tried the sausage and pepperoni, and for my money the sausage is where it's at. If you're in the mood for NY-esque pizza and you don't want to get that "I ate waaay too much" feeling, ordering from Apart would be a good decision.
(4)Jeff G.
i really wanted to like this place more than i did, primarly because we just moved a couple blocks away from them, and i wanted a nearby, convenient pizza joint. got carryout, the veg pizza and the greek salad. salad was really good and i liked their home-made balsamic dressing. however, the pizza was not all that. the crust was kind of soft rather than crispy. sauce was tasty, and sweet. but overall, just not one of the better pizzas i have eaten. also i am not a fan of the NY style, nor eating pizza cut in the big triangles. my search continues for our new pizza spot.
(3)Colleen C.
When it comes to pizza, this girl isn't hard to please. Slap some sort of dough with some sort of cheese and wipe some sauce on it, heat...and give it to me. I'm happy. So, it's Friday night. We just got about 57 inches of "heart attack" thick snow, and I don't feel like moving out of my corner of the world. I have one hard boiled egg, a lonely mini pickle and hummus in my fridge and despite my resourcefulness I cannot think of a way to concoct a meal out of these ingredients. So, I want pizza delivery. In an attempt to broaden my 'za horizons I check Yelp, of course. Apart's got good reviews for both locations, but the Edgewater one is a bit closer so I ring them up. 2.5 hours later I finally have pizza. Sad, little, limp, coldish pizza. :( I know it was not the best of conditions and everything, but in 2.5 hours I could've walked there, made it myself, walked back, eaten it, walked the dog, read a good book and done my laundry. The toppings, while good in theory were poorly executed. Note to self: never order a pizza with an egg on it, eggs are not meant to be mingling with pizza. They forgot the Caprese salad and I think instead I got a mini pizza with spinach, corn and tomato on it. Odd. Corn is another ingredient I don't find works with pizza, but that is just my opinion. I truly believe this experience would've been drastically different had I been able to motivate myself enough to actually leave the house and go out for pizza. Hence, 3 stars and I'll make a return trip... But, no delivery from Apart for me again...I shall stick with Pizza Rustica. So much for trying to be inventive ;)
(3)Casey S.
On a rare night alone, all I wanted was a girlie movie, a great bottle of wine and an Apart Pizza. I've tried this place numerous times and have never been disappointed. The crust is phenomenal and you can tell a lot of love goes into these pies. This is as close to NY style as I've found here in Chicago. Even though they deliver to my condo I've always chosen to pick up - perhaps that's why I've never had a negative experience. I really hope those that have had a negative delivery experience will give this place another shot - the pizza really is phenomenal.
(5)Marcee W.
Don't quite understand what all the hype is about. Tried it twice and wasn't impressed. Perhaps I didn't order the right pizza?
(2)Phil K.
Reliably tasty pies, fast delivery. Plus, it's a friendly family-owned business. Try the Apart: Fontanini sausage, fresh champignons, pepperoni.
(4)Dee W.
Apart Pizza is my new favorite thin crust pizza. It's hand rolled crust and ingredients are fresh and unique. Plus they serve smaller individual sized pizza. And APART has this great Rewards program that is tied into all these different local businesses from salons to a dental practice to theaters, etc. My only problem with this location is its decor. It's so easy to walk past this location and not even know what it is since there is no external signage. Also, this location of APART has very barren interior compared to its Montrose location.
(4)Paul P.
My friends suggested this place, they live next door, and while they had offered initially to treat me to a deep dish Chicago Style, this was closer. In the cold weather, we went into this place instead, and I'm glad we did. The food is authentic italian (thin crust) pizza. Excellent food. The staff was great. We even got to meet the owner, and chatted with her quite a bit about her dishes, and the test kitchen on Tuesdays. Can't wait to get there again!
(5)Y. F.
If you are in the mood for a pizza do not hesitate to oreder from Apart Pizza. They make great pizza. I love the most Hawaii Pizza with black olives and mushroom. Yummy!!! Prices are in the market. Service is good. Free delivery too, but not always fast enough especially in weekends when they are busy!!!
(5)carolyn h.
We ordered from there last night. It was good, nothing like "OMG!" I love sausage and I was a little bummed when not a lot of their special pizzas actually had sausage on them. We ordered the Sausage and the Quatro Formaggio pizza. The Quatro formaggio was good. It has four types of cheese, one in each quarter of the pie. The sausage was disappointing. There was a lack of sausage on the pizza, in fact it there was such a lack of sausage that there was one slice with no sausage on it. I did enjoy the thin crust though although I wish the crust wasn't so crackerish. We ended up giving it to our dog since it was just to hard for us to enjoy.
(3)Lee R.
It looks like everyone had a great experience. We did not. For some reason, Friday in March we ordered from this place and my friend and I nearly starved waiting almost two and a half hours for our delivery. We ordered two 6" pies and a salad. I called twice asking about our order and was told by the confused-sounding girl on the phone that deliveries were really backed up. By the time the pizza arrived, it had sogged and was partially stuck to the box. I wanted to really like them based on their excellent menu, but they really failed me.
(1)Rachelle G.
My corporate office is located on the same block so I've had the 10 inch here more times than I care to recollect. Easily one of my top five thin crust pizzas in the city. Perfect seasoning and just the right amount of cheese. I have ordered the 14 inch to go from their other location and the only reason I would shy away from ordering anything larger than the 10 inch is I feel like the pizza tends to fall apart more in the center and everything just slides off. Customer service has always been superb. Definitely try it out if you're a fan of true Italian style pizza.
(4)Jen K.
Similar to others who have ordered delivery- my pizza showed up cold and floppy. It was a Margherita pizza, so it wasn't like it was a problem with the toppings making the crust "moist" as they put it. Also, I was a dollar shy of the minimum order so I ordered the filoncio. It was the toughest pastry I've ever taken a bite of. I needed a steak knife to cut it! Seriously... The whole reason I ordered was because I had a $5 off coupon... and I ended up wasting $18 on inedible food.
(2)Basil D.
This is single-handedly the very worst service I've ever received, anywhere, of all times. The person taking my order doesn't have the ability nor the will to actually LISTEN to me. Quite honestly, they're pizza is slightly above average, but given the service and quality, I've had better in Chicagoland, and other places are also a lot easier to deal with. I'm sad to say, just go elsewhere.
(1)ann s.
Just had my first Apart pizza, and I'll be back...maybe tomorrow. The Caprese was super salty--and delicous. A fair amount of anchovies, a nice smattering of black olive slices, and tons of capers. I don't know where they get their capers, but they're the plumpest I've eaten in a long time. I will be trying the Francese (ham, brie and egg) at my earliest convenience. I picked up--the lunch special is an amazing deal--but I could see where delivery could be dicey, in that the pizza seems to be at its best when it's fresh out of the oven. It seems it can get a little limp with the passage of time. The pieces I ate in the car were better than the ones I had about 40 minutes later. The counter guy was friendly. Menu says the lunch special includes a "fountain drink." Not to quibble, but doesn't "fountain" indicate it came from such a source? Anyhow, I got a cold can of soda, which I prefer anyhow.
(4)Dave C.
My favorite pizza in Chicago (today). I regularly order the bianca. I always over-order for the leftovers--my advice is to reheat in a frying pan instead of the oven to rejuvenate that awesome thin crust. I nearly removed a star because their online ordering is shit...but the pizza is just too good.
(5)mcquake j.
Yummy thin crust pizza. I was in northern Italy recently, and I will say I was surprised to discover how similar Apart is to the pizza I had there. Good value, too. Everything's quality. Simple but creative salads (like spinach with brie and cranberries or walnuts), tasty. And the dessert things filled with blueberries or nutella--hell yeah. Daily specials, too. Delivery option is ok but it's usually faster to go pick it up if you live close enough. Not a lot of room to eat in, but good outdoor tables in the summer. Dig it.
(4)Tara D.
I've been having a hard time adjusting to Chicago pizza as a former NY-er (you would think I've been here long enough, but apparently not.) But anyway, I'm happy to have found Apart; a place that delivers pizza that is more than the pizza-like approximation that the other nearby delivery places send. It's such a relief. The lunch specials make it an affordable lunch option, which is also good. If you're ordering from GrubHub, be aware that they usually give very long delivery estimates and then show up much sooner.
(5)Christian R.
Have never really been to the actual location and therefore cannot comment on actual service at the restaurant. However, I order for delivery all the time and the pizza is absolutely AMAZING! I have tried it all and it's absolutely GREAT! The quick, good, efficient delivery service makes it even better.
(4)Emily Y.
Again, Yelpers, thank you for leading me to this place. On our walk to Broadway Cellars the other night we passed Apart and picked up a menu. The pies looked intriguing and were not as ridiculously expensive as the new "designer" pizza place recently opened near us (Great Lakes -- not knocking it, just shocked at the price). So, what to do on a Saturday evening when you can't be torn away from the Olympics yet need sustenance? May I recommend Apart Pizza. We had the "Francese", which was ham, brie, and egg. It was a perfect thin-crust pizza with wonderfully fresh ingredients. I can't wait to try their other pizza creations. We also had the dessert pastry thing (name escapes me) and it was good, but I probably wouldn't get it again. It was basically nutella rolled up in pastry dough with powdered sugar. Certainly not a bad thing, but there are other desserts I like more. I will definitely be ordering from Apart Pizza again in the very near future. Free Delivery is a huge plus as well. Reasonably priced -- I have a feeling when we're not eating Tombstone (guilty pleasure), we'll be eating Apart pies.
(5)Betsy A.
I love pizza and like to try different pizza places. I was very disappointed with the taste. They put all of the goat cheese topping in the middle and WAY too much arugula. It was a $27 delivered pizza 18" with three toppings, I was starving and I couldn't eat it. It was really just gross. I worked at pizza places for over 10 yrs (through college and second jobs) and this was a disappointing experience with how well it is rated on yelp. In general I've found that the european style pizzerias in Chicago are over priced and don't taste very good.
(1)David K.
My friend had heard about this place and their thin crust oven fired pizza (he had just been to the Punch Neapolitan Pizza in Saint Paul) and wanted to give this place a try. The pizzas here are baked on an extremely thin crust in a wood fire oven. The crust is actually crispy when they are done baking it. They also do not skimp on the toppings! They put plenty of ingredients on the pizza so every bite has something in it (other than cheese, unless you just got a cheese pizza). The prices are also very good. They got a great lunch special (a 10" personal classic italian pizza with a can of pop for $5). We got two mediums (14") and a dessert and that was more than sufficient to feed 3 starving adults. This place is definitely more geared for delivery as their dine-in area is extremely tiny (something like 3 tables that might seat a total of 10 people?). But it is BYOB. If you are looking for some delicious thin crust pizza packed with toppings that won't lighten your wallet, this is the place to go!
(4)Karen S.
I tried the Capriciosa pizza (ham, mushroom, and artichokes) and the Contadina farcito (this calzone-type thing with egg, mushroom, ham, and bacon) and I will probably never try anything else. I crave the farcito as much as a good mac and cheese, and that's saying a lot. I don't really think I've ever eaten anything else like it. That's also saying a lot. :)
(5)Fred W.
BEST PIZZA EVER!! Super fresh ingredients Always very nice on the phone or in person at the shop. SUPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES AND GET GREAT FOOD. 1,000 times better than that National chain in the area
(5)Kerry W.
Ordered at 7:10, pizza arrived at 8:40, cold and completely smashed into one side of the box, in pieces. I live 3 blocks from the store. Called to complain and they said they will refund my credit card, but now I'm without dinner. Attempted to heat a piece up, but sauce was so flavorless and crust so chewy that it's completely unsalvageable. They made it right by refunding my cash, but I think I would have found the pizza disgusting if it had arrived in 10 minutes, piping hot.
(1)Laura H.
Damn you, Apart Pizza! Now that I've had your pizza, I am spoiled! I first tried Apart Pizza while looking for someplace that made Italian pizza. Now, I simply cannot eat regular, greasy, cheesy pizza anymore! This is real Italian style, which means thin but substantial crust, sparing with the sauce & cheese, so you can taste every ingrediant. I love the capricioso (ham Artichokes, & mushrooms) & diavolo (peppers, olives & pepperoni), but there are lots of goodies here! The price is great for a small pizza, perfect for 1 person!
(5)Meghan B.
I like this pizza a lot. It's nothing amazingly special, but I appreciate any pizza (especially thin crust) that is not Chicago style, and this fits the bill. Sometimes the dough is a little limp, but it is NOT dry cracker crust hell, so that's good enough for me. Ingredients are fresh and the combos are innovative. My personal favorite is the arugula pizza (Giardinetta). The four cheese is compelling, but they don't mix the cheeses --you literally get four sections of one cheese each. Fine enough, but ...odd. Luckily I've never had the delivery problems I've read about here. Ordering can be like a call into a war zone... but they bring pizza to your house when it's all over! So how can I complain? I say go for it.
(4)Gregory L.
I went to the actual restaurant one day last summer and had a great pizza, great service. So I tried them for delivery. A. They forgot half the order. B. They put olives on the whole pizza, when we asked for just half. C. The pizzas were cold on delivery (and they aren't that far away. Not going to risk that again. Still looking for a decent pizza place with thin crusts that deliver.
(2)Brandi M.
If you love uneven wood fired thin crust your prayers have been answered. The owner cares deeply about the business and art of pizza. If are from out of town you should go out of your way. I found them via Redtwist theater when they were running a coupon. Its better to get 2 smalls than 1 large. crust sauce ratio is better that.
(5)carrie l.
My favorite pizza in Chicago. Like some others, I don't really recommend delivery, though. I've done it twice and both times it's arrived not quite hot. I'm stuck on the Greca - feta cheese, peppers, fresh tomatoes, black olives, onions - and get cravings for it all the time, like some kind of addiction. One weird thing: the counter in the Broadway store is bizarrely high. I'm 5"6 but have to stretch to reach the soda fountain. WTF is up with that?
(5)April S.
I first tried this pizza from one of those daily deals, something for $35 worth of food, and man that bought a lot of food at this place. Not only is it cheap, but it is also one of my favorite pizza places. Ordering to have food delivered has a $10 minimum, which is not a problem, and there is no delivery fee. They're usually earlier than quoted. I like the thin crust, and sometimes it's nice to have pizza that is cut into pie slices instead of squares. I haven't had bad pizza at this place.
(4)Mark A.
Last night was my second time ordering from Apart. Nothing short of amazing both times. Perfect NY style thin crust pizza. Toppings are all top notch and delish! The signature Apart pie was really good but the Cacciatore was amazing!! I ate the entire thing. If you havent tried it you must!!
(5)tim l.
Ingredients on the "Apart" pizza didn't impress me or my wife. we both agreed it was 6 out of 10....we would have given 5 out of 10 except for the crust which has potential.
(3)Nick M.
My Memorial Day weekend part 9: (seriously I almost lost count, sadly I can't count to 10) MMMMMMMmmm pizza Nothing like sitting down after a crazy weekend and eating some good pie. I know Chicagoan's supposedly like their pizza big and lots of ingredients (almost to the point you can't taste any of them); eating so much you have to be rolled anywhere after. But for me and maybe the new style Chicagoan's love to eat smaller pizza with ingredients that fill your mouth with so much flavor your taste buds are screaming...yes!!!! Apart pizza does that for me and conveniently right down the street. They are super fast, friendly, fresh, healthy and give some great new style pizzas choices. What really does me in is that I am soooo picky about sauce (for me if they just ditched sauces in pizza, I'd be ok), Apart pizza sauce is perfect. Check them out!!
(4)Christopher J.
We had ordered from nearly a dozen pizza delivery places in the Andersonville/Uptown area in the past 15 months, and never quite found what were looking for: quality ingredients, imaginative menu, healthy options ... those types of requirements are usually reserved for sit-down dining. That is, until friends introduced us to Apart Pizza on Broadway. Apart Pizza is a pizza flavor orgasm for your mouth with free delivery during peak delivery hours (!). They make incredible pies like the vegetariana (artichokes, corn, peppers, fresh tomatoes, spinach) and the cacciatore (ham, pepperoni, bacon, onions, garlic) ... and super yummy salads with brie and cranberries. The pizza is very thin, which normally I don't go for, but is so delicious I make an exception. We will no longer order from the dozen other places... Apart is now our pizza home base.
(5)Erica T.
Not quite sure what to say about this place...I was in the mood for some thin crust pizza, but not your typical thin crust pizza like from JB's or Gigio's, but not super expensive thin crust pizza. So I checked out yelp and it led me to Apart. I definitely got THIN crust pizza. The pizza is flatbread pizza thin, which isn't so bad, except one place was flattened so thin there was a good-sized hole in it. Also, as others have mentioned before, because it's so thin, by the time it is delivered to your door it is not that warm. I really like the topping combos they offer. It sounded like the ham-egg-and-brie was pretty good, so that's what I had and I wasn't disappointed. I definitely would like to try other toppings in the future. So...just 3 stars for now, but I totally plan on trying this place again and hopefully it will turn to 4 or 5.
(3)Brian D.
ordered this stuff all the time. Great thin crust closest i've found to being NY style thin. Still not quite NY, but it's not that cracker crust cut into squares stuff that everywhere else is serving. Love it. lunch specials are a great deal and the 18" pie is awesome! Delivery guys are prompt always ahead of time and friendly.
(5)Rob C.
I've ordered from here below, and I know this pizza is pretty decent, however, it is completely unacceptable to wait 1hr and 45min (so far) for pizza! Apart is literally 3 blocks from my apartment. I don't even want it anymore. I was told 20 minutes ago that it was already out the door.... Update: after 2 hours and three calls (2nd one went unanswered) they couldn't find my order. Maybe it was a problem with Grubhub but in any case I never got the pizza. Very frustrating. Btw Grubhub sent me a confirmation email so it wasn't user error.
(1)Lynn P.
I went to this place solely based on Yelp reviews, so feel the need to offer a warning to those who might do the same. Ordered a pie for delivery. Received it on time, hot and by a pleasant delivery guy. That's where they get one extra point. But the pizza? Oh, Dear God, no. The Trentina sausage pie we received was just..... bad. Bland, save for the over spiced, bitter sausage, a crust somehow simultaneously dry and limp - a rare feat - that had been slightly burnt, leaving a lingering and unpleasant aftertaste on the palate. The clearest way I can explain its yuckiness: my boyfriend, who will scarf anything that's remotely edible, refused to have more than a second piece. "Nah, I don't want anymore." And right before I wrote this, per his request, I threw out the leftovers. That, my friends, is as bad a review as it gets. In sum, this pizza was forgettably mediocre. Which is memorably annoying.
(2)Mike D.
I'm not a fan of thin crust pizza normally, but after a friend introduced me to Apart, I may re-evaluate my loyalty to Chicago-Style exclusive places. I've had a few pizzas, and so far the Cacciatore pizza (lots of meat), is fantastic. They've just been added to Grubhub, so now I don't even have to, GASP, talk to someone on the phone. Also, if you're going to try their dessert roll, go with the Chocolate and Raspberry, its the best flavor I've had.
(5)Mark B.
Very simply, these guys have great pizza. Give 'em a shot and you won't regret it!
(5)Jamela C.
If you are looking for great pizza delivery or take out Apart is the best!! A bit on the expensive side for pizza, but its so delicious and fresh it is well worth it. Their crust is light and airy, and their mozzarella is amazing!!!!I often pair their meat lovers with a nice red wine, and add spinach to it as well, and it makes a fun quick romantic dinner at home!!
(5)T M.
I really hope this place does well in this space, since several other establishments have not, and the corner could use something besides the Mexican restaurants. Don't get me wrong- I like El Norte, but sometimes I need some variety in my junk food. Luckily, Apart seems to have a pretty good combination of qualities that might allow it to last for a while. There aren't many other pizza places that do free delivery and are open until 11 PM, as far as I've noticed. Eating there certainly does not come with the ambiance that comes with Spacca Napoli, but on the other hand it's sure not as expensive, and you won't have to wait for a table. The pizza itself is very good and comes with a lot of nice, quality toppings in a thin-crust, more authentic pizza format. It's not too dry, and is appropriately cheese covered (or not if you don't swing that way).
(4)Julie P.
My favorite pizza in my neighborhood. My favorite pizza is the funghi rustica and the Greek Salad. Delivery is typically pretty spot on except for the occasional time when the pizza is cold or burnt, but the taste makes up for it all.
(5)Ann Y.
The capriciosa pizza was delicious! Loved the thin crust with the ham, artichokes, and mushrooms - perfect balance of toppings and flavor. However, we also ordered the queen margarita pizza (mozzarella, tomatoes, basil) and it was so bland, it just tasted like eating thin dough with mushy tomatoes on top. So I guess your impression of this place will depend on what you order, because I would give the capriciosa 5 stars and the margarita 1 star. We also got the caprese salad which was fresh and tasty with arugula and a house made balsamic dressing. The service was perfectly fine too, so overall I would say Apart deserves a 3.5 :)
(4)Cat K.
I live 3 and a half blocks away and ordered delivery at around 8 and was told it would get here "within the hour" 9:20 rolls around and I call back to check up on it because it's a friday night and my friends and i want to go out ETA? 15-25 minutes. i will NEVER order from here again, and when anyone asks, its the last place i will recommend.
(1)trina b.
Sigh. I really really want to love you Apart Pizza. Really I do. But yet again, about two weeks ago, you delivered soggy pizza. I mean really soggy. Like even when I tried to bring you back to life in my toaster oven, you were still a limp noodle. All of my toppings just slide right off and I didn't even finish my pizza. My husband still loves you but I think I'm done. At least with ordering delivery. We have eaten in before and when we dig in, it's not soggy. Or at least it starts out not soggy and by the end gets that way a bit. So I think from now on, I will only be enjoying your eat in lunch special. I wish it could be different. (sniffs)
(3)Soula P.
I think this is probably great pizza when you eat in. Flavors were solid but the crust did not hold up well for delivery. Too flimsy/soggy, needed to fold it in half in order to handle.

Great pizza, nice people, some swell options for the vegetarians of the world. What else do you need really? I've ordered both delivery and take out from this place and the people I talk to are always really nice, sometimes downright personable while taking my order and, in the case of the take out experience, even after the order was in progress. The 10" personal pizza is more than enough for me and comes with a drink for just over $6. Heck yes! Typically, we order two and have some leftovers for the next day. Which, if reheated in an actual oven for a couple minutes is almost as yummy as the first time around, which I find to be a total rarity as most reheated pizza gets a weird rubbery quality on the second go around. Each time we've ordered delivery, the pizza has arrived before the quoted time is up, once in about half the time allotted. Plus, there's no delivery fee, which is pretty swell. I have heard some comments that the people on the phone and delivery folks are kind of assy, but that's been the complete and total opposite of my experience. No, they didn't blow any sunshine up my bum, but they were courteous and businesslike. For me, that'll work just fine.

Four cheeses! Four Stars! These goombahs keep it old school. Thin crust. Fuhgeddabowdit. Sucked down a pie in a flash. They'll be seeing my mug again. No booze.

First of all, please IGNORE the other reviewers on this site who badmouth Apart Pizza for being something other than what they expected. If you were not aware that Apart specialized in neapolitan style pizza, as opposed to Chicago style(s), then you are ignorant. The crust here is half the pleasure of the experience of eating Apart pizza. Crispy along the outer edge, with the right amount of chewiness in the middle. High quality fresh toppings and great flavor combinations make Apart a great choice for those looking for an alternative to the gut-busting pizza known to Chicagoans. Apart is fantastic.

This pizza is a great deal! Good thin crust pizza is hard to find on the far north side and this place fits the bill. I still can't get over how cheap their pizzas are - but without sacrificing the quality of their ingredients! We've ordered from them twice now and been happy with the food and service both times. EDIT (12/16): I ran into the same problem Kate did the last time we ordered from here. 75 minutes after ordering and no pizza. We called & they said it would be another 25 minutes. 40 minutes pass - we call again & are told the driver just left. He showed up 10 minutes later. That is way too long to wait for pizza! We were told on the phone that the driver got into a car accident, which wasn't true according to the driver - I think they just lost our order. When the pizza finally got here, it had obviously been reheated and the crust was badly burned. Yuck! They did completely comp our food though, so I'll give them credit for trying to improve their customer service. 2ND EDIT (1/10): I WANT to love you, Apart Pizza. I really do. Your pizza is delicious. But your delivery service is horrible! I never get my pizza in under 2 hours. (I live a short distance away.) That is just sad. Yet I cannot stay away. Curse you!

My favorite pizza place in Andersonville area. I haven't been living in the area for too long, but out of the 10 or so places I've tried pizza at, it's the best. I have never been to Apart itself (only delivery), but every time I ordered it was delivered within a reasonable amount of time. There was one time where I ordered two pizzas and one was incorrect... the driver let us keep the wrong pizza and brought back our original order within 10 minutes. I love the big slices -- feels like New York City. The toppings are fresh. The pizza is hot. And the price is reasonable. 4/5 stars because they messed up my order once and there was that one time when my wife hung up the phone and said, "What an asshole!" Apparently the guy on the other end of the phone was impatient with her and not very nice. Funny how that was the order where they sent the wrong pizza.
(4)Keven S.
I have never been so happy with a pizza place that I had to write on YELP about it while Im eating it until Now. Its that damn good! This is the only pizza place in Chicago worth talking about and Ive tried many. Also the staff rocks! The people at Clarendon praise you!
(5)Annie C.
This place is SO yummy. It's real Italian style pizza - hard to find in Chicago! It's thin crust, made to order, with delicious and fresh ingredients. Try the Greca. Actually, do it now. GO! It's so good. You'll thank me. It sucks that Kate had a bad experience but I hope she gives it another shot because the pizza really is fantastic. I crave this pizza. Crave it! It's nice to have a pizza joint in the neighborhood!
(5)Tamara N.
Hello delicious, hot, cheesy, crispy pizza!! We found this place a few months before we moved out of the area and were SO SAD to leave it. A colleague recommended it to me, and boy was he on the money with this one! The pizza is so thin you can gobble up the whole pie between a few people. I also had a caprese salad once, and that was pretty good as well. If you are a fan of NY style, and like a flavored, rich tasting pie, Apart is for you!
(5)Bethany J.
I love Apart Pizza's Montrose store, so I was so excited when I heard they were coming to my neighborhood. And I haven't been disappointed. There seemed to be some problems with the store when it first opened (a few inexperienced staff members, and a few other problems that pop up when a restaurant is new) but everything seemed to sort itself out quickly. The food is great, the price is extremely affordable, and the guys that work there are helpful and courteous (especially if you happen to be a woman in the 18-40 demographic.) Being a vegetarian I'm overjoyed that there is now a pizza place in my neighborhood that has several menu items that I can eat, and all of my meat eater friends like the rest of the choices on the menu. If you like feta cheese, you should definitely try the "Greca" (the beautiful love-child of thin crust pizza and a Greek salad). Also great is the Capra-Riccola. Goat cheese and arugula never tasted so good.
(4)Mel A.
The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because my artichoke hearts on my #31 10" were piled onto 1.5 pieces of my pizza :( I got the "Vegetariana." Great thin crust. Great flavor. Great customer service. Unique ingredient combos. Free delivery. Free can of soda ;) Thanks Guys!!
(4)John D.
This place is great. Try the Apart. Great thin crust artisan pizza. Fantastic lunch deals if you live nearby.
(4)Kristie R.
I have grown to love Apart Pizza. There crust is pretty thin and the slices are quite large. Great foldable pizza! Minus one star because they're kinda expensive. I've also called for delivery 30 minutes before they take their last delivery and they said they were closed. boo
(4)Rachel B.
Wow, I can't believe how much they just jacked up their price. Their pizza is not consistent which is never a good thing. I used to order from here a lot but since they raised their prices by so much it will be much less.
(2)Nicole C.
This is by the far the best pizza I've ever had by delivery! I ordered the prosciutto pizza with a casa salad, which arrived within 45 minutes of my phone call. Although I prefer cured, not cooked, prosciutto, the pizza was GREAT. I really like how it's finished off with oregano. The casa salad is huge and loaded with fresh lettuce and vegetables. I'll be ordering my pizza from here from now on...
(4)Rex M.
Great pizza and fast delivery. Even though they said it was going to be within 1 1/2 hours, it only took about 45 min. I like the thin crust idea. Less dough makes you feel like you're eating healthy....LOL.
(5)Jeff R.
Being that this is Chicago, there's a lot of good pizza here. But there's even more "just okay" pizza. There's few places that go the extra mile, few places like Apart Pizza Co. I visited this place in Edgewater last night and lemme tell y'all: It's amazingly tasty! It's a low-key, reasonably priced establishment with quality ingredients. Delivery, take-out and dine-in. It is soooooooooo good. highly recommend.
(4)Gray G.
Thin, crispy & tasty for a low price at lunch. By recommendation of the comic gurus on Broadway, I mosied up to Apart Pizza. It was totally empty and the girl at the counter took a minute because she was jotting down a phone order. I got the lunch special, a 10" personal pizza with sausage and a fountain drink for just over $6. The crust was golden brown, the sauce was tangy and topped with just the right consistency of gooey cheese. The sausage could've been a bit spicier, nothing a few dashes of pepper chips couldn't fix. I'll be coming back for sure :)
(4)Lee C.
Three stars for now, based on my one experience with Apart. The delivery took over an hour, but I wasn't mad because they told me that upfront on the phone. I ordered the small Pizza Margharita. The price was right, and the flavor was OK, but it wasn't really a Pizza Margharita. They used shredded mozzarella instead of sliced, and I didn't see or even taste any basil. It was really just a small plain cheese pizza. My salad was good. Something with a lot of bacon I think. I'll try Apart again, and just get something else next time; whatever the special is.
(3)Kate K.
When I recently got a flier from Apart Pizza Company in the mail announcing they had opened a new restaurant in my neighborhood, I was excited. I've heard great things about the other location. However, my experience in trying them out for delivery left me very disappointed. I called and requested a 14 inch vegetariana pizza, which costs $14.75. I gave the person who answered the phone my name, address, and phone number. I advised the person that I had a $2 off coupon. When I asked for the total, I was told that it was $19.75! I asked what the delivery fee was and the person on the phone stated that delivery was free. I asked him to confirm the price of the pizza as $14.95 was correct. He said it was. I then asked if he included the $2 off coupon in the total he gave me. He said he did. I asked him if he was telling me that he was charging $5 in tax for a $12.95 order. He said that was correct. After some further discussion, he concluded he was incorrect and told me the correct total was $14.07. OK, that sounds about right. He told me the pizza would be here within 45 minutes. 75 minutes later, no pizza. I called the restaurant and they said it would be another 20 minutes. I asked them why would it was taking more than twice as long as I was told (I live 3 blocks from this place - should have gotten carryout). I was told that they did not make the pizza because they lost my phone number!!! What?! That makes no sense. I told them that at this point, it really wasn't worth the hassle and wait and requested to cancel my order. All they said was "OK.." If they had done anything to try to make this experience better, I might possibly have given this place another chance, giving them the benefit of the doubt because they are brand new to the neighborhood and maybe they are still working out the kinks. However, between their trying to overcharge me and not even trying to make up for the fact that they didn't complete my order, I highly doubt I will try them again. Too bad.
(1)steve s.
Awesome pie and friendly staff. My new favorite pizza! The crust is NYC style...
(4)Dan B.
I have finally found my perfect pizza in Chicago. I have been searching for New York style pizza, which in itself is a difficult task, that is made fresh, with fresh gourmet toppings, and a perfect thin but not crispy crust. I stumbled across Apart on yelp and did they ever deliver. I ordered a Cacciatore pizza which is covered in artery clogging deliciousness. Ham, Pepperoni, and Bacon oh my! I ate more than half of it last night, and the rest today. I was honestly a little sad that it was gone. The girl on the phone was one of the friendliest I have encountered, and delivery was quick and free! I can't wait to try some of their other creations.
(5)Nichole F.
I'm in love...I've heard so many great things about Apart Pizza and have only now tried it. I got the goat cheese and arugula pizza and it was to die for. The ingredients we all really fresh and the pizza crust was delicious. I ordered it for delivery and I think by the time it got to us it had cooled off a bit and the crust lost its crustiness throughout but I don't even care. Yum is all I can say and I really think this is the best thin crust pizza I've had in Chicago. The price is great too.
(5)Sarah Z.
Good thin crust pizza, but I think it would be better if I was able to walk in for a slice. Delivery always seems to be cold. Toppings are fresh and even though it looks like there isn't enough cheese, the ratio of topping to sauce to cheese is always perfect. Just wish it came hotter....then again, that's never stopped us from ordering when we're in the mood for cracker-thin pizza. Yum. Salads are also very fresh, and their homemade balsamic vinaigrette is the best I've ever tasted.
(3)Wendy V.
Now this is what I am talking about... this is what spacca napoli SHOULD be. I go to Rome once a year, and this is the closest we've got to the real Italian thing. cheap, the capricciosa satisfies my hankering, with an egg of course, the crust is so thin, and they have the bubbles in the crust which I love. They are so friendly and the lunch deal is insane. I love this place, can't recommend it enough, I have eaten inside the Broadway location, I don't recommend eating on the sidewalk, not much to look at, but great for take out. BRAVO! Buonissimo!
(5)annie r.
so in the 3 weeks that i've lived in andersonville, ive ordered delivery from here twice. and i'll do it again. im guessing on friday. :/ its good stuff! thin, crispy, tasty crust with yummy toppings...pretty quick delivery, one time it DID come a bit colder than i would have liked, but no big. it gets a check in my book for sure.
(4)Michael K.
This is real Italian-style pizza. It's very thin crust - not like a cracker or a flatbread, but with a crispy edge. The cheese-to-sauce balance is perfect, not overly cheesy like so many mediocre Chicago pizzas. The quality of the ingredients is obvious, and the pepperoni was especially good. I've ordered several times now, and the pizza was consistent each time. The free delivery is a nice bonus, and they are FAST.
(5)Jim D.
I read terrible reviews about delivery so I decided I'd pick up my first Apart pizza. They said 15-20 mins til it was ready when I called and ordered. I got there 15 mins after I called. Girl behind the counter said it wasn't ready. I sat right in front of the counter while 2 male employees talked and went over orders. Finally about 10 minutes later I got up and asked them if my pizzas were ready. They said which order was mine. They looked and said, 'oh yeah, those have been ready for a while now." Really? I was waiting on my pizza and they were ready most of the time I was waiting?? Why did you think I was sitting there for you twits? There were only 2 other people in the place and they were eating. Pizza was ok but not worth the ignorant service I received.
(2)Alexander C.
If you are looking for a thin crust that isn't really foldable, but is huge and thin? You have found it. They deliver to me so that is a huge plus. I recently had The Upper Crust Pizzeria downtown Boston and it was very similar to this.
(4)Greg M.
This place rules as it is my favorite thin crust pizza in all of Chicago, and it is one of the ONLY redeeming qualities about Edgewater. I'm going to keep this review short because the pizza really speaks for itself. Go eat some... now.
(5)Renee Z.
Great thin crust pizza and really good toppings. Sometimes they are skimpy with the toppings but in general they are good. Delievery is usually fast but we tend to go and pick it up.
(4)Kirk P.
Great pizza and speedy delivery but they've delivered the wrong pizza on more than one occasion.
(4)Lindsay M.
This review is more about the company philosophy than about the pizza (which, incidentally, I do heart.) I work for a theater company, and the people at Apart have gone wayyyy out of their way to donate food for our events. It's been really refreshing to have a company approach _us_ with ideas for creating community partnerships and for supporting access to the arts, especially at a time when a lot of arts resources are getting dropped. I know they work with a lot of other small arts organizations and have held fundraisers for places like Cabrini Green Legal Aid. So. I think that's a pretty cool bonus reason to order from here.
(5)Larisa O.
I can't understand how this place could get less than 4 stars. Its yummy, affordable, and offers free delivery. Beyond that, the employees are very nice. An awesome business.
(5)Scott A.
Great pizza. Very reasonably priced. Extremely friendly both on phone and delivery. Best thin crust for the money anywhere in Chicago. Highly recommend.
(5)Susan K.
Please understand that this pizza is NOT Chicago style thin crust. Very clearly Apart states on their website that they are focused on making Italian style pizza... thin, floppy crust, with a good crispy edge on the outside, slightly charred, good flavor. So many of these reviews are slaying the restaurant for "soggy crust", but they are measuring from a Chicago Style cracker crust. Italian style pizza's are paper thin and are supposed to be a little chewy and floppy. While not the quality you might get in Italy, for a pizza place in Chicago it is as close as you'll get to the authentic italian pie. And they are tasty... I love the pepperoni, pepper, and olive pizza. And Margherita pizza in Italy is just a cheese pizza... it's only around here that we've turned it into a basil, fresh mozzarella, and tomato concept.
(5)Ryan W.
This place is incredible! My favorites are their goat cheese and arugula, greek, and 4 cheese. Their salads are huge, and they make some effort with them, which is a nice change from most places. Delivery can take awhile, but that is only because of their incredible popularity. They also have some wicked great lunch specials if you eat on site, though be warned they have very limited seating!
(5)Abbey Z.
I had a wonderful experience ordering lunch for a mommy playgroup I was hosting. I called the day before to ask if I could place the order for the following day and have it delivered as early as possible, since they were opening at 11. Not only did they accomodate me in doing that, but they started early on my order and it was delivered just minutes after they had opened! I believe the delivery person even started earlier that day to help me out. They basically bent over backwards to help me. I spoke with Bianca, the owner/manager when placing the order and she spent a great deal of time with me figuring out the best deal for my money and choices that would delight both moms and toddlers. The food was AMAZING! Perfect cheese-sauce-crust ratio on all, a delicious plain margherita for the kids, and more elegant combinations for the adult palate. My only complaint is that now I will have to think of something low-energy to do for awhile since I totally overate. :)
(5)Wm M.
The pizza of my youth? NJ! The pizza at Apart? Close enough! The thin, generally crispy crust topped with not-too-much sauce, just enough cheese, and tasty toppings make this my favorite pizza place in Chicago (so far). Yes, delivery can be a bit slow, but I'd rather wait for this than have national chain garbage in a half hour. And they are no slower than most local deliveries. I like that their topping selection has some variety, but is not absurd. The choices are sensible. And if you aren't sure what to get, go for the eponymous Apart combo - simply delicious!
(5)Julia W.
2 stars: Excellent service: Tonight was our first time ordering from Apart and, I have to say, I was so impressed with the service. I ordered the caprese style salad and the very friendly employee informed me that, while he'd be happy to prepare that salad for me, the arugula they had available was not as good as usual. Then he recommended preparing it a different way so that I would not be disappointed... I have to say, this impressed me. It is very rare, in my experience, that an employee gives honest feedback as to the quality of the food, especially when it wasn't even solicited. I definitely appreciated being told upfront and given the option to change my order so that I wouldn't be stuck paying for a salad I'd be disappointed with. Now, to the pizza.... We ordered a medium pepperoni and green pepper pizza and, I have to say, it was delicious! Love love love the super thin crust. The ingredients were all so fresh and the sauce had so much flavor to it... I honestly can't believe we've lived in uptown as long as we have and not ordered from Apart.
(4)Melissa B.
I have to say that I was very excited to try Apart Pizza Co as I was looking for a great pizza joint in my neighborhood. When I moved in my management company gave me a coupon for a free pizza from them. I had this coupon for nearly a year before my gf and I were like um why have we not taken advantage of this yet?!?! So on a cold day in January we thought what a perfect plan, let's order pizza and watch a movie. So we called and ordered. We were starving so we were very excited about its arrival. It took about 20 mins longer than they said it would and then the delivery driver could not find my place which is ridiculous because its not hidden or anything. My door is right on the street and the address is displayed large and bright. Finally we get the pizza and we can barely contain our excitement we open it up and both turn and look at each other with the look of REALLY?!?!?! We had ordered an XL because the coupon was for a free pizza any size. The toppings were only in the very middle equal to about a 10inch small and this was like a 16in or something. By the time we took a bite it was cold and only one bite per piece had toppings on it. I have not ordered from here since. I was so disappointed because I wanted to love it so that I would have a favorite pizza place right down the street but it just didn't cut it. I can't imagine I would order from here again. If I got another free coupon I might give them another shot but if I had paid the first time I would have been fuming! I say save your money and find another pizza place to curve your craving!
(2)stephanie s.
We love the pizza here. Reminds hubby and I of the pizza we had in Italy. Delicious thin crust pizza with fresh ingredients - a little pricey but worth it.
(5)Mer J.
The pizza is amazing, but I am absolutely addicted to their salads! Try the Brie and Craisin one with their home made balsamic... YUM!!
(5)S S.
I ordered a pizza last Friday night, around 6:00. Was told it would take about an hour to arrive - okay, I figured that's reasonable for a Friday. An HOUR AND A HALF later, after calling to see where the pizza was, it showed up (I ordered the basic Trentina). For free delivery, plus a free can of Diet Coke, you can't beat the price - but oh, wait, you can. The pizza was soggy and barely warm, the cheese nonexistent, and generally, pretty disappointing. Next time I need a Friday pizza fix, I'll hit the Dominics for something from the freezer case.
(1)Cassie K.
I love this flippin pizza. It's so thin and the sauce is so tomato-y and the cheese is so cheesy. You can eat a ton of it without feeling too full because it's so thin. The delivery driver is fast and delivery is free. I just wish I could eat it every week!!
(5)Eliot J.
i've never ordered delivery from Apart because i live like 2 blocks away, so everytime i eat there... it's really hot and really good. all thin crust and a decent selection of pizzas. i don't think you can "make your own" with toppings here, which is fine because, again, there is a good selection of options - unique ones, too. once i did call to do takeout about a half-hour before they closed at 10pm on sunday, and they said that they were no longer doing orders for the night. i suspect they just wanted to close early on a slow night, but i *really* wanted a pizza and i think they should've made one for me - especially considering how quickly they can do it (they bake the pizzas in an extremely high temperature). despite that, i have been about 7 times and will continue to go back.
(3)Jenna C.
The Greca has become a staple at my house. Thin crust, but not too crispy. Delicious fresh ingredients, and fast, friendly delivery.
(4)A T.
This is not NYC pizza. The crust should be way more crispy. Soggy. Good news very fresh ingredients and a nice delivery person. I grew up in NYC and this is not NYC pizza. It is a facsimile of what they want to be. For real pizza go to Ben's on fourth street (NYC). Give up on Chii-town pizza. It basically sucks.
(3)Michelle A.
I just ordered from Apart Pizza Company for the first time tonight. Delicious, thin crust pizza with just the right amount of cheese and toppings. While I enjoy Chicago-style pizza and even traditional thin crust, the thinness of the crust was just the ticket on a hot Friday night. And SUPER FAST delivery by a very friendly driver (give that man a raise!). I will definitely be ordering again.
(5)Katie N.
This is my favorite pizza in Chicago. I'm not a huge fan of the pound of cheese per slice pizza that dominates Chicago, and this place is an answer to my prayers. Delicious thin crust with big floppy pieces and great fresh toppings. I only order pizza from here now. They really know how to do thin crust well. I'm only sad it took me 5 years of living here to find it! Not a great sit-down place, but that's not a big concern for me. Great for takeout and delivery.
(5)Stephanie R.
Hands down the best pizza on the north side! My boyfriend and I have been searching out the best pizza in Chicago, and are sold on Apart. Slightly more expensive, but a class above all other comparable pizza joints in the area. We love artichoke, feta, garlic and red onions but their signature pies are great too. A+
(5)anthony o.
just back from italy ate 4 pizzas there 1 in vinci 1 in pisa 2 in naples.not impressed with my pizza today. pizza margarita does not have oregano on it. crust dry like card borded. very disapointing after reading about the owner bringing recipe from italy i make a better pizza and i was born here. que vergogna.
(2)newton h.
unique in chicago, this neopolitan style pizza should not be missed. however, understand what you are in for, folks. this is very thin crust, and simple pizza, cut into proper slices (who the hell decided to start cutting pizza into squares anyway?). if you truly appreciate the naples inspired style, give these guys a call! i would give these guys five stars, but they seem to keep inconsistent hours, and when im jonesin for a pie i hate to be let down!
(4)suzanne h.
This is a delicious pizza; thin crust (soft in the middle, crunchy crust), quality ingredients (subtle tomato flavor so the toppings stand out), fresh veggies, enough cheese to pull it all together. This pizza is a good alternative to the cheesy and heavy (albeit savory) flavors of Giordanos, Lou Malunatis, etc. Highly recommend Apart Pizza! We've tried 3 pies - like them all - in order; Cacciatore (the smoked bacon completes this meat pie), Diavola (the peppers were fresh, generous amount of olives), and Greca (the Feta cheese adds a nice punch of flavor to the milder veggies). My husband and I order 2, 8" pies, and end up with several slices leftover. We also tried the Greek salad with balsamic dressing. It was excellent; crisp lettuce, crunchy peppers and cucumber, generous amounts of olives and feta cheese. I read Kate's review; sympathize with her frustration! We have been to Apart on Broadway for pickup twice. The first time we ordered at the counter. They forgot our salad but had it ready in just a few minutes. The second time we phoned our order in and there was no issue when we picked it up. Both times it has been evident that the staff is new to the business, young, and more eager to chat with the occasional pretty girl who walks by the door than impress the customer. That said, I did find the staff worth the effort. The guys we dealt with, when engaged, were eager to please and brag about their new location. When we left, I told them that we're glad they're in our neighborhood and one of them responded, "We couldn't be here if not for you. Thank you! Come again". I'm hoping that Apart continues to hone their business skills like they have their pizza making so that they bring Kate back for another try, more residents in the door, and we have yet another yummy option in our neighborhood.
(4)pall s.
Pizza used to be amazing but now, not so much. The pies have become inconsistent, yet they have consistently raise prices. Used to be able to get 2 10' speciality pies for around 14 bucks. Now it's well over 20. And an additional 3-4 dollar charge if sharing a salad while dining in!?!?! Ha! Last straw Apart! You just loss one of your most loyal and faithful customers. WE ARE OVER!
(1)Sandra A.
Apart pizza is special. It's unlike anything I've had in Chicago. You will likely have trouble getting the order placed which can be annoying. Everytime I call I feel like I'm the first customer they've ever served. That aside, the real and delicious food is totally worth it. You will get a delicious pizza and salad that makes you wonder what gets lost once you put more polish on a business. I'll exchange a smooth transaction for a special pizza that you can't get just anywhere. The salads are big enough for two, the pizza will be devoured and don't forget to share one of the fruit pouches for a nice cherry on top. Apple is the best.
(4)Jim D.
Great Pizza. Some of the best in the city. Not Chicago or New York style, more Italian. Very thin and delicious.
(5)Fida C.
Excellent, excellent thin crust pizza. Tiny dining room (2 tables). I recommend take out.
(5)Don G.
Had one bad service experience, but ever since, it's been great. Food is fantastic. A pizza should not be cut in squares, and fortunately they know to cut it into pie slices.
(5)claire r.
Terrible! I just ordered delivery from here and had an awful experience. Inept staff, cold pizza, long delivery time. My first clue should've been that the woman who took my order was an idiot, I was constantly having to repeat myself and she still sent the wrong drink. It took over an hour for our food to come and it was ice cold when we got it. The delivery guy was not friendly at all - he just barked the price at me and turned and left. I will NEVER order from here again.
(1)Ayme M.
Coming from somebody who orders pizza all of the time, I must say that this place is great. Their pizza is consistently excellent and delivery is super fast. I look forward to their goat cheese and arugula pizza for days before I order it, and have twice ended up brokenhearted when I placed my order and was told they were out of arugula. You'd think it can't be that hard to just run to the store and get some more, but that is not the case and I'm forced to order something else. Either way, all of their pizza is great, however be careful when ordering, as certain specialty pizzas have their toppings segregated into different sections of the pizza, instead of all mixed together. It's not bad, just unexpected...
(4)K P.
I've been a huge fan of Chicago deep dish since I moved here, but I certainly enjoy the thin crust pizza from Apart. Their ingredients always seem really fresh - I'm especially fond of their sweet peppers - and I like the combinations. The servers are really nice and it's never been busy when we order from there (though we've always picked up so I can't comment on delivery). When the pizza first comes out of the box it's a bit limp - but I don't mind since I just shove it on a plate and get a fork. After the lid of the box has been open it firms up, but I do like the fact the crust isn't hard and crackery. I'd recommend Apart in a heartbeat!
(4)Matthew P.
Amazing! Not your typical Chicago pizza place! The pizza is similar to NY Style. The pie is super thin and very, very tasty. My finance and I love to go there and each get our own personal size pie and a pop; the total bill is less than 15 dollars and we each get to have a great meal. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes NY style pizza or anyone who likes good pizza!

thin crust pizza, with creative toppings and delivery to my front door? unbeatable. i love the pies with goat cheese and/or arugula. the best part is they have personal sized pizzas so if you can't agree on toppings and don't want to split a pie, get your own for a totally reasonable price. the sauce is simplistic and not overly sweet like some places and their main cheese is salty goodness. my only complaint is that their salad greens are often less than fresh so i have foresaken ordering them for a while. big ups to the sunday delivery driver!

the pizza was awesome!! definitely worth the price, and the delivery was 30 minutes faster than the predicted hour. the dessert roll/calzone was different than i expected- i thought it would be more gooey like "monkey bread," but it was still tasty and delicious! i just moved to this neighborhood, and i'm so glad i found an awesome pizza place so fast!! definitely coming back!!!
(4)J H.
Love the personal pizzas...always consistently tasty. Nice value for the lunch special, and the free soda is a nice touch. I like the extra thin and crispy crust too. Win.
(4)Mark M.
The pizza was bad. Almost no cheese on it. Floppy thin crust cut in pie wedges. Got the "free" salad for spending too much money and it was a joke. It was about 2 ounces of spinach. Next!
(2)Kendrah R.
Crust is great, thin, crisp. Oregano is fresh. Good toppings ingredients, especially fresh arugula. It can get expensive if you order the large pizzas. But our trick to this place is to order lots of small pizzas. It is less expensive and you get more food. (Oooh, I hope the owners don't read this and raise the prices of those great small pizzas!)
(5)Rick H.
Amazing... Best pizza I have ever had in Chicago. I looked at some of these reviews and had to laugh because I sure as hell don't know where they were ording from because I got a gluten free with my groupon and my free salad didn't have spinach because that's not what they offer. Had a crap load of mixed greens and tons of toppings that were even layered. Mmmmhmmmm :-) If you want great pizza from a great little place order from here.
(5)Terrence M.
This is the best pizza joint in the city...no question.
(5)Jim L.
This was about the best pizza I've had. I can't believe I just sat down and ate an entire 14 inch pizza on my own. Super thin crust - crispy - delicious!
(5)Michael B.
The easy online ordering process is the only thing saving this review from being any worse. In all honesty, this pizza is quite thin, the cheese is greasy, and the sauce is not flavorful. It is simple a standard pizza not worth $17 to feed two to three people. Nothing about this place makes me ever want to order it again. Dare I say it...Domino's would have been a cheaper (and more filling) choice. If you are in Chicago, why would you EVER sell sub-par pizza? There are way better places to eat. Save yourself the trouble and find a different pizza place.

Wow...this is great pizza. I like to go during the week for lunch due to their great lunch special. You get a 10" pizza and drink for about 6 bucks. Don't forget that they also have a frequent diner card that gives you a free small pizza after 6. The place has a small, but cute little dining area, but if you are lucky to be there for nice weather, they have a great outdoor seating area. One of the best thin crust pizzas in the city!
(5)David F.
Since they are the only place near me offering glute free pizza, I decided to give them a try and was very happy to see they have improved in EVERY aspect, from the friendly Jerrid answering the phone all the way to delivery times, great job guys, keep up the good work!
(4)Stephenie S.
Their delivery service is the worst. It took 2 hours to get my pizza and I only live 8 or 9 blocks away. When the pizza arrived, it was soggy and cold. And, it wasn't even the pizza I ordered. When I called to complain about my experience the woman that answered the phone was very rude.
(1)Jim M.
I'm giving this 4 stars in part because of the neighborhood competition, or lack thereof. Apart is not in the same league as Piece, and luckily for Apart they're not in the same neighborhood either. There are some really stand-out aspects of this pizza for me. Their chicken is always cooked well, nice and juicy, large white-meat strips. The dough is very good, super thin. (I realize this is Chicago, not everyone wants thin pizza crust) And c'mon, it's triangle-cut slices. On the flipside, the sauce is just OK. It actually almost detracts from the rest of the pie. The cheese is... fine. Not much else to say about it. The delivery is usually quick, under an hour. And their special "buy an 18" get one free" on Mondays makes it a great deal. This has become our stand-by pizza place when ordering in.
(4)Ms T.
Just had take out from here. I like different kinds of pizza and though my pizza wasn't quite what I was expecting, it was good none the less. Got the 10 inch margarita. It was delightful. Yeah, kinda greasy like a new york slice however as many others have noted on here, the edges are cracker like. You can't really fold it like a slice but hey, it's not trying to be a slice, so NAH! Delivery was super fast. I was very pleased with my purchase and will order from again.
(4)Bridget I.
First place I call when I want pizza delivered. I've never dined in but I think they have seating. Thin-crust, really good toppings and combinations, a lot like the pizza I got delivered while living in Florence, Italy. I LOVE the Giardinetta (fresh tomatoes, arugula) and Quattro Stagione, if I'm craving something salty I'll go with the Cacciatore (ham, pepperoni, bacon, onions, garlic) or Diavola (pepperoni, sweet peppers, black olives). Prompt and friendly delivery. Oh yeah, don't forget to order a Sweet Filoncino in hazelnut - big enough to share. The photo that is posted is accurate, though it doesn't show how delicious it is!
(4)Jeff A.
This just in...This just in... I had eaten here before and was absolutely not impressed... I gave it another whirl last night after much coaching and many think tank sessions and all the advice and planning paid off for sure! Here is what you do; order several of the personal pan pizzas and trust me on this do not order the large pizza get three smalls for almost the same price you will be happy you did! we tried three small pizzas and here they are - Cacciatore- or as my friend called it the Man pizza cuz its so meaty and sooooo good! the most sweet tasting onion I have ever had where did they buy those cuz I want some! Gamberetti- fresh tomato and shrimp, it was my least favorite and it was still darn good! go gambi go! Francese- Ham, brie, and egg...Shhhhhhh and just try it, my friend and I were both skeptical and guess what, it was so darn good it will now be an absolute every-time I go for Apart pizza! Ok wait it gets better granted I live close by but this pizza was at my house in under 30 mins, really under 30 mins, now that is worth above the crease press right thur,....I say right thuuuurrrrr! The only thing is do not do the dessert just trust me on this one, those pizza crusts with jelly inside are just not good, dry and well disappointing... The name of the place is not Apart Desserts is it, Oh no it is all about the ZA, go for it you will be glad you did!

I vaguely recall eating at the Montrose location and not enjoying it. If that's the case, then I'm glad that I decided to check out the Broadway location, because it was delicious. Apart offers a pizza that seems most similar to the Neapolitan offered by places like Spacca Napoli: a light, thin crust, crispy around the edges yet soft where covered by a fine layer of sauce and cheese. I ordered the Hawaiian, which came with a well-proportioned amount of ham and pineapple. Nothing about the pizza was too intense or heavy, just rich and flavorful. I got carry-out, and the pizza had definitely cooled off a bit during the trip home, so I can see how people might have less-than-satisfactory delivery experiences. This does seem the sort of pizza that is best eaten at the restaurant, but don't let that discourage you from taking one home. It was still delicious eaten on my couch. Apart does offer a fixed menu instead of a build-your-own option, and I must admit, I'm not a fan of all of their flavor combinations. However, if you can find one that you like, nom.
(5)Erin S.
Yum, yum, yum! After trying various pizza places with little success we stumbled upon "Apart". Discovering a place my husband & I agree on for pizza sho' is mighty fine! The crust is thin & crisp, it's very pocket-friendly and they don't skimp on the ingredients! We like the artichoke heart, ham, black olive & mushroom large pizza. (At Leona's it's over $32!) Here it's $19! Best part is, they don't do the "party slice". Slices are triangularly shaped as mother nature intended!
(5)A S.
Yumm! Finally tried this place and it was a great experience. The pizza was delish and with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. I have a new found love for thin crust. Best of all, we walked out of there with big smiles on our faces and not feeling sick and stuffy (like you normally would after having deep dish or pan pizza). Friendly service. They have a menu with a good variety, can't wait to come back and try their other specialty pizzas.
(5)Stacey F.
This rating is based off of a bad experience getting our food delivered. This place is less than 1 mile from our house. We ordered our food at 5:45pm and received half of it at 730pm then after 4 phone calls, the rest of it at 930pm. Absolutely the worst service we have ever had for delivery here in Chicago. And they really didn't care at all...no compensation, no apology nothing. Even with a good tip. We were pretty surprised at that since we had heard good things about the food. The pizza was good but the specials are a joke...the salad that goes with one of the specials is smaller than a cereal bowl. Barely enough for one person. Too bad, we will never order from here again given our experience. Use carryout or eat in, not delivery.
(2)P S.
Friday night at the Double Bubble. Lori, Mike and Penny are hungry after a day at the beach. Us to the Bartender: "Can we order some food?" Bartender: "Yup" (hands us the menu folder) 47 minutes and $19 later, one 18" tomato pie with sausage and garlic at our service. Properly demolished, would get again (and I'm not even a thin crust kinda girl).
(5)Keya P.
This was my first and will be my last time ordering pizza from Apart Pizza. Last week I placed an order for an event that I was hosting on 4/8/13 at noon. The pizza was supposed to be delivered around 11:20am. When I called at 11:50am to see how long the pizza would take to be delivered, they HADN'T EVEN MADE THE PIZZA! They still charged me for the pizza, I didn't have a problem paying, but I thought businesses wanted people to come back not run them away.
(1)Johanna P.
just ordered two pizzas, I asked for mine to be extra crispy and to have extra sauce, they took a bit over an hour to deliver and I literally live just under 5 minutes away. Pizza got here cold my pizza was not crispy and had no visible sauce. My BF's pizza had the skimpiest amount of toppings I've ever seen. It was edible I guess but not good. I was really expecting greatness based on the reviews.
(2)Rachel I.
I plan on ordering from Apart again. I placed an order on a very snowy evening and the pizza arrived late and on the cold side. BUT, even though it was cold, I was pretty darn good. We ordered a gluten free pizza with sausage, pepperoni and mushrooms; a margherita pizza and one of the sweet filoncino with chocolate and banana. All three were fantastic and I can only imagine that I will update my rating to 5 stars once I eat them while they are hot.
(4)Scott F.
The pizza is great, thin crispy European style crust and the pizza is not swimming in the cheap mozzarella cheese like most other pizza joints. The ingredients on the theirs pizzas seem very fresh and had great sausage. The style of pizza is one of our favorites. The first time we ordered from Apart the delivery and service on the phone was great. Last night we ordered for the second time but the delivery was late taking over a hour and half. When I called I was only told it was out for delivery but that they were very busy that night. They did not offer anything for being late. The pizza was cold when it got here so we had to heat it up in the microwave. I would have given them a 5 for first pizza we got from them, this lower score if only for the late delivery the second time.
(3)Lindsey B.
I reviewed the other location, and it all still stands. This is the one that is near my job though and they are fantastic. The people are friendly and helpful and always willing to do whatever they can to make your lunch enjoyable. The pizza is good, inexpensive, and satisfying! I love it. We all order from Apart! It's the one place all of my co-workers and I can agree on.
(4)Katie P.
Oh no. The most perfect pizza does sometimes come at a price. Here's the thing...I ordered 2 pizzas on a Monday night. Fast forward 2 HOURS...with still no pizza. Called back and got attitude from the cashier who told me this was all the driver's fault. The driver, when he finally got there, said it was the restaurant's fault. It didn't matter b/c the pizza was cold anyway. A very unsatisfying night on the whole. The only bright spot was manager Bianca who comped me a meal of the same value on the next order. She seemed to know things were running amok in that place and took care of it. But, even with the comped food, it's gonna be awhile before I sign up for this again.
(2)Colleen B.
I dropped in today for lunch. They now have some newer, warmer wood tables and stools. They also have a lunch special: $5.50 for a drink and a 10-inch pizza. I asked for a box for my left overs, but it was so good that I ate it in the car on my way home. Yep.
(5)Louise M.
I am not sure where this pizza place got its name... but I have a theory. It could be named Apart Pizza Company, because all of the topping ingredients are placed apart from one another on the pizza. It is strange, but both times I have ordered the Quatrro Formaggi pizza, each cheese had its own separate quadrant of the pie. It was interesting, and I liked it! Beyond the fact that this place has yummy pizza, the workers are also very nice. One time they allowed us to get the lunch special, even though we called like 3 minutes after the lunch special time was over. Very nice people.
(4)Sarah M.
meh. apart pizza delivered tonight. toppings were fresh and tasty, but the cheese, sauce and crust were bland. i'd be willing to give dining in a shot in case the pies are a good deal better when they're right out of the oven. props for fast & friendly delivery!
(3)Jennifer B.
I work not too far away and we were having a busy day on a Friday and wanted to order pizza for everyone. I called with a pretty large order and was so impressed with their customer service. The woman on the phone was helpful, nice and super appreciative. It was such a pleasant experience. To have good customer service AND great pizza is hard to find. Apart is a winner!
(5)Kevin B.
Great pizza and great service!! I love the sausage pizza and everyone there is soooo friendly. And the Lunch special is such a good price!
(5)Dustin A.
Apart is awesome. To me there are 2 brilliant pizza places in Chicago, and they are: Lou Malnati's & Piece. Apart is in the next tier. Still pretty good. Apart is the pizza I get when I am in the mood for traditional Italian thin crust, and it is always awesome. Free delivery, and Mondays/Tuesdays if you buy an XL pizza you get one free. The Apart pie is my favorite... I have had a couple pies that I did not enjoy, such as the queen margherita. That one was pretty bad... but again, I love the Apart pie.
(4)Kevin H.
I love this place! I'm always on the hunt for the best pizza places and this one tops the list. They only have Italian style thin crust pizza (SUPER thin and cut into triangles rather than sqaures, like we are used to in Chicago) but the pie so good that it will make you forget about deep dish. I love their lunch specials, I get a 10 inch individual pizza and fountain drink for just over $6! I usually get carry out because I live right around the corner but they also have free delivery. The people that work there are very friendly and even know me by my first name.
(5)Michael S.
Despite Tina B's surmise: "Anchovies and Ovaltine.... Dude, are you sure you're not preggers?," I'm really not pregnant. But I do love my anchovy pizza. And I've sworn off the thirst quenching Ovaltine. Last night's anchovy, mushroom and black olive pizza was the best I've had. I told them to feel free to be generous with the anchovies, and they were very generous. It was promptly delivered and inexpensive, too. Anchovy pizza leftovers for breakfast - without the Ovaltine. MMMM. Their menu has so many creative combinations that I'll re-patronize repeatedly.

Finally a neighborhood pizza place that my wife doesn't dismiss as "too creepy". Realized on Wednesday it was open and tried it last night. Apart will definitely crack into our take out rotation, giving That Little Mexican Cafe an occasional rest. Their pizzas are thin crust and creative. We went with the Francese (yes, there is egg on the pizza; yes, it is good) and the Capriciosa (a lot of artichokes here - unless you are some kind of freak you won't likely need to ask for extra artichokes). Both were great. We also randomly tried the sweet filoncino (chocolate), and liked that, too. To this layman's eye it seemed like pizza dough filled with a not too sweet chocolate cream and topped with powdered sugar. What was ordered as a throw in became a highlight. For $18 we got 2 personal pies, the dessert and two cans of pepsi. Good deal. Star scoring key: 5 = Spectacular 4 = Better than average, really enjoyed it 3 = Average, don't regret it 2 = Disappointing 1 = Abysmal For more of my reviews see travelcasserole.blogspot…
(4)Gayle G.
Oh, I was hoping for better. I'm not even sure it earned 3 stars for me. Mostly, because I realized this a.m. that I was overcharged for my pizza. I ordered a 14" and was charged for an 18". I will say the pizza arrived quickly and it was warm. I ordered a Margahrita and pretty much got cheese pizza. Marg usually hase blobs of cheese, tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. This was dried basil sprinkled on cheese pizza. It was tasty, the crust was ok, but nothing spectacular and not really worth the $12.50 for a 14" or $14.75 for an 18". We also ordered a filoncino -- basically a sweet pizza creation. Nutella in dough that's rolled up, baked and sprinkled with powdered sugar. That was pretty tasty. Overall, it was "eh". I could take it or leave it. I prefer Pizzeria Antica in Edgewater for that same style of pizza.
(3)Jo-Elle M.
I had Apart pizza delivered last night, and not bad...not bad at all. I am by no means a pizza snob, but I really enjoyed the thin crust pizza like the type I was served in Italy. The crust was light, not too crispy and the sauce tasted very fresh. I had the tomato/shrimp pizza, and my only complaint was that the center of the pie was a bit soggy and stuck to the box. The order taker on the phone was upfront about the time - admitting to being "slammed" and didn't overpromise. The delivery guy was friendly and came before the expected time. I will definitely be trying Apart again - and maybe venture into the salad arena.
(3)Ellen F.
I learned three new things about Apart Pizza when I visited them for the first time yesterday: 1) They offer FREE DELIVERY. Seriously. Who does that? And not only are they willing to deliver something to you for no additional charge, but they are offering to deliver something that you very likely want. 2) I thought their lunch special was $5 for an 8" personal pizza and soda, but it is actually $5.50 for their personal pizza, which is 10", and a soda. What a lovely deal! 3) They care about their pizza and your experience. The woman behind the counter explained that while some of the toppings on their signature pies may sound a bit odd, it's all about pairings and how the toppings taste together. We decided to stick with a good ol' standby, sausage, which was delish, but I definitely appreciated the attention taken in explaining the signature pies.
(5)Ramon C.
This is easily the best delivery pizza I've ever had. High quality ingredients, super thin crust that isn't crackery or soggy. AND! 18.75 for a large pizza? You can't beat that. less than 3 Apart Pizza
(5)Megan G.
Three and a half stars, really. Got there to dine in at about 7 on a Friday night (we were going to do delivery, but based on previous reviews we just didn't want to take that risk) and had our choice of the three tables they have. The soda fountain was literally tall enough for me to take a shower under (I am not a short person). I actually had to reach my arm up to fill up my cup. Seems unnecessary, but I got a laugh out of it. Plus soft drinks are included in the price of the pizza. We ordered two 10" pizzas: the Capra-Ruccola (goat cheese and arugula) and the Cacciatore (ham, pepperoni, bacon, onions, garlic). Yeah that's right, a meat pizza. I'm eating meat and I'm a bad Lenten-Friday Catholic. What are you gonna do about it? When the pizzas came out I was a little disappointed to see that the arugula on mine was just thrown on top, raw. It took away from the flavor of the goat cheese, which was my main motivation for choosing the Capra-Ruccola in the first place. The chevre-to-mozzarella ratio was also kind of a bummer; the mozzarella diluted the earthy flavor of the goat cheese. The Cacciatore was a little more in line with my expectations (it's basically just a meat lover's pizza except with onions and real garlic). The bits of garlic added a great flavor. My main problem with both of the pies was the crust. It was a little too matzah-ey for my taste. I don't like my pizza crusts crunchy, and I really didn't like walking out covered in crust crumbs. I'll give it another chance eventually. It's a great price and I appreciate the topping combinations they offer. I just hope they step up their crust game.
(3)Jed L.
This place is great! I just moved to Chicago from New York and while I love deep-dish pizza, I've been desperately trying to find some traditional thin-crust. This place has VERY tasty pizza at an outrageously low price (lunch special is about 6 bucks for a pizza and drink!) The crust is usually a bit burnt, so if you don't like your pizza that way, this place might not be for you. But otherwise, dive in. I was also very impressed with their salad. I usually expect a side salad at a pizza place to be a few pale pieces of iceberg and a couple tomato slices. The side salad at Apart is definitely not that--it was a mesclun mix with baby tomatoes, peppers and cucumber. All in all, pretty tasty.
