I have a theory: food you steal from other people always tastes better than your own. In fact, it's probably true that other peoples' food always smells better than whatever you decided to eat anyway. Thank goodness for that because I would've never tried Dimo's unless I was stealing bites from my roommates. I've never ordered a slice from here, true, but I've been here more than once and have tried a couple of flavors, both savory and sweet. Luckily, my drunk roommates always over order and sometimes there is more than a slice left waiting for me. The flavor combinations here are really inventive and sometimes borderline off putting (they squeezed how much of that white mystery sauce all over the pizza?), but I've liked every single one I've tried. I've had the Mac option, a s'mores option, a BBQ option, and an enchilada option. This is one of the few times when I will go against my Italian nature and say simpler isn't better here. In fact, if you go in and order the most trashed up slice of pizza you can find, it'll probably be the best one. This is drunk college student paradise, however. It loses a star only because at a certain time (that time being about 8-1 on any given night) there are a lot of drunk people you need to wait behind, so patience is key. However, the staff here are super friendly and chat with everyone. I've never seen them try to pull a fast one on a drunkie, either, which is comforting. I think next time I stop in I might actually order a slice of pizza. Hope it tastes as good as all the stolen bites I've taken. Probably not.

I was recommended Dimo's pizza by a friend - and I'm so thankful to them! Dimo's pizza is so unique and tasty I wanted to try every flavour! The staff were so friendly I stayed for a few hours jut chilling out. Can't recommend Dimo's enough, it's a must try :)

Really cool concept w/ fun & tasty pizza. Dimo's is a Wrigleyville staple as of late (so I'm told) for late night slices after the bars and/or a Cubs game. Get in line & don't ask for a menu...use your eyes at the pizza case to pick & choose different slices. We had the Mac & Cheese pizza, the Meatball Special (had a raspberry jam, goat cheese & penne pasta) & BBQ Pulled Pork w/ Pineapple. They certainly hit the spot! They have a cool dining area & the staff is loud & fun! If you DON'T want deep dish (they serve thin crust here) & want some fun, crazy pizzas, stop in & enjoy Dimo's!

I basically eat here every time I'm in Chicago; imaginative, delicious pizzas in unusual-but-amazing flavour combinations, as well as a comfortably relaxed atmosphere and a two-minute walk from Wrigley Field and by hostel...I'll be honest, I may even keep picking the same hostel due to its proximity to Dimo's. In summary: amazing pizza, great hours. Would recommend. Drink the Leninade!

One of my favorite pizza places in Chicago. The toppings are creative and delicious. You can grab a few pieces and go or eat them at the communal picnic tables. The macaroni pizza is amazing, of course, but I also like the ones with who-knows-what on them. They are like explosions of flavor.

Not sure what is going on, but the service has gone down hill. * Long lines don't move as fast as in the past * Pizza makers can't keep up with demand on certain types of popular pizzas * People taking orders are taking way to many orders and getting confused when they delivery the pizza causing long wait times after you pay * Caught cashier take money and then adjust pizzas without washing hands * Pizza quality is starting to slip as crust in not a bubble as in the past The staff in the past was amazing but today the new staff is just not trained as good. Management has just been relaxed and it shows to a long time customer like me.

The smaller BYOB Wrigleyville Dimo's is amazing. A much better post-Metro alternative than McDonald's or Taco Bell. For some reason, this location has overcooked the crust of three pizzas I've ordered. So they lose a star... but I'll probably be back enough to have them make it up to me with delicious and quirky pizzas.

I ordered the special for the day and it was a Mexican slice. You can tell from the uploaded picture that it was kind of a lot for a slice of pizza. I love creativity but this pizza was all over the place! I rather eat a Mexican dish for the amount I paid. I think their usual slices would have been the better option. The cashier was very friendly and the seating looked spacious.

I'm done. I have been ordering from Dimo's for 3 years and have spent hundreds of dollars there (judge me.). The past few times I have ordered delivery my food has been late, cold or mediocre or some combination of the above. Tonight was the last straw. I ordered a pizza, and it arrived 15min late and was poorly made. The crusts is supposed to be bubbly and puffy, and was not. It was thick, chewy (in a bad way), and the bottom was tough. The dough had, clearly, been overworked. The is the last straw. Never ordering from here again.

Just like the Wicker Park one, but a bit smaller. Both are delicious. The variety of pizza is astounding and they have a new kind every single week for you to try. The staff are always incredibly friendly and are quick and experienced at what they do. Once can never go wrong with Dimo's.

Yesterday was Dimo's birthday aka $1 slices. Not a bad way to end the night! I had the chicken bacon ranch and a jalapeno popper-style slice. Both were pretty great, but probably a lot better when inebriated.

LOVE DIMOS!!!!!! People are great, and the food is AMAZING!!! Any kind of flavor you think of, they probably have here. Here are the must try flavor toppings: Mac and Cheese (classic) Philly Cheese Steak BBQ Chicken Chicken and Waffle All sound weird and out of place right? But it works! The crust is also the perfect consistency. The perfect crunch to soft. If you plan on going late in the evening, try to get there before the bars let out. Otherwise you will be waiting in a line, surrounded by intoxicated people.

I really wanted pizza and a big tasty salad for dinner. Dimo's allegedly had both so I thought this would work out perfect, not so. I ordered the Philospher (Greek salad) it came with no feta cheese and no Kalamata olives...what is the point?! I was so disappointed. The pizza was fine. The cheese and pepperoni were pretty good, the Italian sausage was pretty bland. Delivery was an hour or so, which I expected on a Sunday night. Probably won't order from here again. Mediocre food in Chicago is not worth a second look with all that there is to choose from.

Can't say I understand the good reviews this place gets. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day but I have never had a saltier pizza. It was nearly inedible. Big portions and reasonably priced. Still will not order again.

This place gets busy and sometimes you have to wait. But it's worth it! They have some unorthodox choices which makes them different than the 1,000s of other pizza places in Lakeview. I really liked the mac & cheese pizza I ordered. Good tasting crust, and not soggy like some other nearby places. I"ll have to come back and try some other pizzas on the menu. Parking is a pain though, what else is new?

Teddy F.

Never have I been to a pizza place where they include the ranch on the pizza for you! With pizza by the slice and open late it's hard for anyone to say no to this kind of deal. Try the bacon, chicken, BBQ and ranch! Incredible

Chris H.

I have a hard time giving out 5 stars but this place deserves it. The pizza was incredibly diverse and all 4 slices I tried were wicked tasty. They have everything from vegan to meat lovers, to s'mores pizza. I wish I lived in the area just to be able to frequent this place! It's a must try!

I was really looking forward to their vegan pizzas. As a person who cannot do milk products (woe is me...), I only have pizza when I make it myself at home. Dimo's is kind of a dumpy looking place, but I think that's the ambiance they want to portray. Their menu is really fantastic - lots of variety in pizzas. But, we went on a Sunday, and they don't make vegan slices on Sundays. But, you may order a pizza to order, so I did. My daughter selected it (she is the decider) and picked the Dimo Florentine. Their oven must be very hot because I want to say it was ready in about 10 minutes. First the good - the crust was really fantastic. And, the marinara sauce they use was alsio very tasty, But I have to say that, honestly I was a little disappointed in the pizza itself. Oh, the toppings were good. But I was expecting to have it be more like a real pizza. The "cheese" they use was kind of tasteless and they didn't put very much on the pizza. I meant to ask what brand of vegan cheese they use but forgot to before I left. A couple of other good things to say. (1) The service is really good. The people who work there are friendly and kind. They want to help and are good at explaining the items on the menu. (2) They have a very interesting selection of soft drinks. I stuck with water, but my son got something called "Leninade". Leninade is a pink lemonade in an old soviet looking bottle. Kind of fun. Other than that, the experience was a good one. Vegan cheese is one of those things. Some are okay and others are bad. I've never really had a good one. But, it is nice that Dimo's offers it as an option for those of us who either prefer vegan or don't do milk/cheese. I wonder if they would make one of their meat pizzas with vegan cheese? That would increase the options for people like me. And, the meat flavor may actually help the taste of the cheese.

Going to an afternoon game at Wrigley and we didn't want to go to one of the bars that surround the field. (They were crowded and it was only 12, but in hindsight, probably should have joined in for sure.) Anyways, we were craving pizza and wondered down to Dimo's. They have crazy huge slices of pizza and mostly wild flavors. We got chicken penne pizza, buffalo chicken ranch, and chicken and waffle. They were all amazing. They rotate flavors through so find something you think sounds good and get one. One slice alone was probably not quite enough for me, but the two of us split three, which was the perfect amount. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. On top of being delicious, it's surprisingly cheap. For three slices and a bottle of coke, it was like $13.

I don't know why the hell I have been pussyfooting around with these four-star ratings, but that ends today: Dimo's is the best slice shop in the city. It's the only one that inspires my wife and me (usually me) to make excuses to do "errands" in the neighborhood, just so that we can eat lunch here. Occasionally I have taken the 22 bus down there for lunch and then back without bothering to make an excuse. That's like paying an additional $1.25 premium on each slice...but it's worth it! Because of: 1. Some of the best pizza around. Consistently top-notch, every single time. Outstanding crust, quality toppings, and excellent balance between all four elements. 2. Variety of toppings. Yes, I have ridiculed the concept of macaroni and cheese pizza. But I have also devoured many a Philly steak slice. The beauty of Dimo's is that you can always rely on the simple slices (e.g. pepperoni & mushroom or mushroom, spinach, & red pepper) but yet be intrigued by the fancy ones. Sometimes the fancy ones are a home run, sometimes they are not for me, but in any case I appreciate their creativity. For example, recently I tried a slice with red onions, kale, fennel, parmesan, and lemon vinaigrette...delicious. But the weekly special--figs, bacon, arugula, honey, and bleu cheese--sounds too sweet to me. Either way there is always a delightful element of surprise to every visit. Tamale pizza? Chicago-style hot dog pizza? Irish breakfast pizza? Brilliant. 3. Awesome people. All the staff are very friendly, always. Genuine enthusiasm. 4. The loyalty/rewards card. This concept goes a long way with me. Buy ten and get one free! A superb incentive for return business. "The Dimo's punch card--don't leave home without it." Oh, and also: 5. I have never once heard Mumturd & Sons on the Dimo's music system.

First off Ill say that their pizza has some weird seasoning or something on it that makes it taste like it was dropped on a dirt and dust covered floor then picked up but not brushed off before serving. Definitely do not care for the taste of this pizza. HOWEVER I do understand that everyone has different tastes so more importantly Ill get to why I give this place only 1 star. The girl working late on Sunday night was extremely rude. A friend and I walked in and were clearly looking at the options, talking to each other about what we were going to get and she yells...not says, but YELLS at us "Cmon ladies what do you want?" ...mind you there was no one else in line behind us yet so it's not like we were holding up traffic. I said we were deciding and asked what one of the pizzas had on it and she shouts the list of all the options so fast we couldnt even understand what they were. My friend ended up not getting anything cuz this girl had such an attitude....I wouldnt have gotten a piece either but I hadnt ate dinner and it was literally the only pizza place that had come up on my search that was open. Listen, I get that it is late and you probably deal with a lot of drunk people at 2am but not every one is drunk that comes in so dont be impatient and rude to customers.

A huge variety of pizza choices. The place was packed but they did a very good job turning people quickly. I had a slice of the burrito pizza and fish taco. Both were very tasty, and I left stuffed.

Pizza is very good. Docking stars due to bad experiences with delivery. Have received delivery twice... one time they were about 30 mins longer than predicted and the pizza was not in top condition. The second time... much worse. They turn off Grubhub at completely arbitrary times and so I call and order three pizzas. I repeat the order several times so they know it's three pizzas and after waiting much longer than predicted they showed up with two pizzas. Then they said they would bring me my final pizza but I would have to wait 45 mins and I would have to pay... I said I would just start ordering from somewhere else and they said they would bring me my pizza for free in a half hour. An hour later they show up with the pizza, which had cheese on maybe half of the pizza... I would recommend dining in or carrying out.

I liked this place immediately when I walked through the door, with a young cutie addressing me a smile and with affectionate terms like "honey" and "sweetie." She was such a darling herself that I couldn't help but smile back. The vegee pizza I had--if I remember correctly, it included red bell peppers, spinach and tomatoes and cheese. They had maybe 8 pizzas out that all looked delicious. I know that mine was, heated in the pizza oven for a few minutes. The thin crust was delightful. In fact, I would have had another piece-a if I hadn't been in a hurry. Perhaps the comfort foods of mac & cheese or s'mores. With warmth in both my belly and my heart, I continued on into the darkness of the night.

Delicious pizza by the slice. So many strange flavors that taste phenomenal. That Mac & Cheese pizza is really delicious and I'm pretty sure it comes vegan as well!

Holy heck. I am addicted to Dimo's. Having moved here from the east coast a little over a year ago, we've been in search of great pizza. Sure we love us some deep dish ever so often, but sometimes you just want to eat 8 slices by yourself and not feel all puffy and bloated after one or two. The topping combos range from the basics like pepperoni and mushroom all the way up to the outrageous like fried chicken and waffle (which by the way is so good I wept openly first time I ate it). To go with you pie are also some nice salad options and at $7 for the large (feeds 2-3) are quite reasonable. Of course you may not want to eat salads as the large pie is big enough for 4 people. I think it's like 0 inches big or something. The service is good, the staff is friendly on occasions when I've done take out or ordered delivery. I also appreciate they under promise and over deliver. I'm the kind of person who if you tell me the pizza will be here in 45 minutes and it shows up in 50, I'm kinda pissed. I'd rather you say an hour and then get it here in 35 minutes. Every time I've ordered delivery around dinnertime, even in the deep freeze we had last week, it was here in a very timely fashion. Try the basics but don't shy away for the insane pizzas either and they are all good! Great crispy crust, bubbly cheese and plentiful toppings. We have found our place here in Lakeview!

Robert B.

This place was just what we were looking for! We walked right in and had pizza by the slice in minutes. The crust is very tasty. It had a wide range of pizzas to choose from. I had macaroni and cheese pizza and BBQ pizza that was delicious. Can't wait to go back when visiting Chicago again!

In the highlights and insights section of Dimo's yelp page, it states that 'vegetarians go nuts for this place.' Well I can say for a fact that this vegetarian is pretty much going 'meh' for this place. Dimo's definitely serves a purpose. And I appreciate this fact. I've been unfortunate enough to be at Dimo's on a Friday or Saturday night. Drunk bros and biddies in wrigleyville are bad enough. But the drunks at Dimo's getting their grub on are the worst sort. To all the employees at Dimo's out there: you guys are saints. That being said, I do like the pizza here. The crust is great. But the vegetarian options are abysmal. The only one that they always have is the Mac and cheese pizza. Not a fan. I'd rather just have a piece of plain cheese- but they never have this option. So please, more veggie options!!!!! I'll be back when I'm in the neighborhood and am craving a slice.

Brooke O.

I love Dimo's pizza. The employees are always energetic and the feel of the restaurant is electric. The creative types of pizza always get me. Mac n Cheese is a go to for many but I generally choose the one with slices of potato with ranch and bbq sauce. They have a great punch card system as well - if you're a frequenter of Wrigleyville, make sure to get the punch card and take advantage of the free piece of pizza!

Now I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to order nacho pizza, except that I often make dubious restaurant-ordering decisions when my wife isn't around. But I have to say that the resulting pizza was remarkably tasty -- flavorful and tangy toppings, not overloaded, and most importantly, the best delivery-pizza crust I have had since Moroni Brothers in Washington DC five years ago. Maybe better. But almost as importantly, they also have competent and helpful service -- which is crucial when you're hungry and trying to use modern technology to get people to cook and deliver you a pizza. They were out of an ingredient, and tried at least five times in 30 minutes to reach me by telephone, leaving several voicemails explaining that they were making a substitution that they hoped I'd like, but encouraging me to call them back in case that wasn't what I wanted. And while I did call them back, they'd made the right decisions in my absence. How often can you say of a pizza place that you were impressed with their judgment and professionalism? I think I've found my go-to pizza delivery joint in Chicago.

This place gets 5 stars just from the many different options of pizza it has. It's even better because you can get slices and don't have to commit to a full pizza, but everything I've had was great. I don't think I've had a "regular" flavor at this place! Wish it had more seating options but that's not a big deal at all and it does get crowded after bar hours so be ready. Affordable and unique pizzas!

The Mac & Cheese pizza here is awesome. The staff is super friendly & most importantly they have local Craft Beer on tap which always wins my heart! Definitely a good place to check out. [Pizza/Beer/Vegan friendly - 5 STARS!

Pizza is so different, creative and tasty. Chicken and waffles, Mac n cheese, and pasta and Italian sausage all on a pizza crust...so good. Everyday its something different. The feel is hippy. The prices are fair and the staff is funny and nice.

Love love love this place. Been here 3 times and each visit has been amazing. The first time I visited, I had the Mac n cheese pizza which was amazing but a bit too rich for me. The next time I had the chicken Alfredo pizza which was to die for. The third and most recent visit, I had the pulled pork with spicy Sriracha sauce. That was ah.may.zing. Dimo's has never let me down sober or drunk. Will be going back every time I go to Wrigleyville. Also the staff is pretty awesome. Expect to wait in line if you're going after last calls at the bars or on a major drinking holiday (i.e. St. Patty's), but the staff is quick and efficient and you won't have to wait for long. Try their specialty flavors you won't regret!

Had Mac and cheese pizza and chicken penn pizza my buddy Brandon had a Chicago dog and the Sriracha and tofu pizza

Quite possibly the worst pizza I've ever had in my life... I don't know whether it was the leathery crust, the chemical-tasting sauce, or the sausage "coins" which could never have been cut from an actual piece of sausage that was the worst but their combination was truly spectacular. If you were raised in the suburbs and think that Domino's is a treat then you will love Dimo's PS: I gave half a slice to my dog and she wouldn't eat it.

Kind of a dumpy looking place but the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. $4 a slice for some pretty unique pizzas. I thought they were pretty tasty. Give their weekly specials a try.

Great cheese and crust and fun pizzas. Chicken Bacon ranch is phenomenal. Probably one of my favorite pizzas in the city. They lose a few stars though and here's why: - I've suggested pizzas they should make which were tried and tested in my old job and they were kind of jerks about it each time. Quite lame. - The last time I ordered I wasn't impressed for two reasons: the brownie was a joke - basically a one bite dessert and my pizza wasn't cut at all.

John G.

nice lil find thanks to yelp. Had the BBQ chicken pizza minus the ranch, and the smores pizza. both were amazing! especially that smores pizza! and they deliver (oooOOo boy dangerous to any one trying to diet). Love this place just sad I found about it towards the end of my time in the city.

If one friend wants tacos and the other drunkenly wants pizza, what should you do? Enter the Steak Nachos pizza from Dimo's. Get it. It's totally worth it. We added some cilantro on top and it was the best thing ever. We also had a large pepperoni pizza and it was almost super-bowl sized. Generous portions and 1 AM delicious. They have decent vegan and vegetarian options. I'm happy to try the rest of the menu the next time I'm in the area. It is always incredibly packed at night so pick up or delivery if you can.

They've got a good selection of unique pizzas and their staff is fairly friendly. The place is really loud for a pizza joint though.

I'm a fan of this place! Great and fast way to get a slice of pizza. It's pizza by the slice with a variety of different kinds of flavors you wouldn't normally see at the chains (bbq & blue cheese, mac & cheese pizza, nacho pizza, etc.). This reminds me of some of the pizza places in New York. Nope, this is not your typical chicago deep dish pizza joint. It's conveniently located right by Wrigley Field so it's a great stop before going to the game. How it works is you pick your slice of pizza and they warm it up for you in the oven so it comes out nice and hot. Sometimes the line can get long but they actually move people pretty fast. I'm glad Chicago has one of these places similar to New York. I wouldn't advise visiting this place at 2-3am, because you'll see a lot of drunk douchebags trying to get food in their alcohol filled stomaches. The guys I'm sure will be hitting on anything with a pulse at this point, you've been warned.

I love Dimos! Especially there Chicken & Waffles pizza. Tonight was not the night. There weren't enough pizzas made in holding and I he ventilation wasn't working properly. Smelled like burning dough :(

Service: great! Willing to answer my many questions about vegan options! Food: Only had one piece - the mexican pizza (vegan). It was only decent....but I've heard that the quality definitely depends on which piece you order. I will most certainly be back to try another flavor soon! Price: very affordable! Complaint: hobos were sitting inside the restaurant asking for money. I don't want to be rude and of course i have compassion, but it's a bit unnerving to have a hobo beg you for money while you eat. :/

I don't know why it took me this long to discover Dimo's. Best vegan pizza ever. No Joke. I've have pizza from there twice and pigged out, loving everything I've had so far! Vegan Mac - Awesome. (adding a little pinch of salt makes this one PERFECT) Teesy Potato - Always been an advocate for potatoes on pizza and this one is excellent. Vegan Philly - Incredible. This was my favorite until I had the ... Vegan Hawaiian - Holy cow. Pizza heaven. Can't say enough good stuff about this place. Wrigleyville is BYOB which is fun if you're dining in. They have a pretty broad delivery map too.

Niks O.

First stop on my first trip to Chicago! Came after going out in Wrigley. Craackkiiin lol. But not so much that I wouldn't wait in line! haha. Don't be fooled it's thin crust pizza, not normal Chicago deep dish, but I actually prefer it better. They have AWESOME toppings. I got the MacNCheese pizza OMG YAAASS it was BOMB dot com! And the Hawaiian BBQ ahhh. There was this fries one and I don't know some other things I wish I got all of them! What's also awesome is that you can BYOB! I saw a table with a 24 pack of PBR! But that's just a Chicago thing I guess lol. Lovedd itttt

A late night visit to Dimo's is a must for every trip to Chicago. Staff is always attentive and it feels like your local friendly pizza place. I've never tried delivery, but having never lived nearby, I've never had the need. Pizza has always been pretty quality and even though you might be getting a re-heated slice, it'll still taste great. Or at least that's what your drunk self will always tell you. And he's never let me down so far, so yeah. The pies are very creative, the slices are huge and the line cooks are pretty efficient. You can't beat that. I recommend the spicy mac & cheese or the spinach pesto. They're very patient about explaining the menu, and have a few vegetarian options other than just cheese, which is good if you have a friend in your group who is an herbivore. You'll likely have to wait in line on weekend nights after 1am, But trust me, it'll be worth the wait. If you're out in Wrigleyville and you've had a bit to drink, this is the best place for your late night pizza fix.

This place was very tasty following a Cub's game. The food here is very original in its variations, fresh, and tasty. At Dino's you can come in and grab a quick slice, enjoy the personalities of the employees, and be happy with the price at your paying. I would gladly return for another slice of pizza especially after a late night in Wrigleyville or following a Cubs game.

Brandon P.

What an amazing place. The staff was super helpful, even such a late hour. The pizza was incredible. What amazing choices and flavors. I can't imagine a better late night place to grab some much needed food after a long night of partying in Wrigley. These guys know what they are doing. And what cool art on the walls. Man. I know where I am going for every meal when I'm in Wrigley. You gotta check this place out.

Pizza was great. As a New Yorker, their regular pie looked and tasted very similar; can't always get a good, foldable slice. Not your typical "deep dish" Chicago.

KB C.

Well, after reading all of these fabulous reviews I gave Dimo's a shot...it's average at best. Great variety of ingredients to choose from... My simple test was to order the very same pizza that we generally order from any restaurant (sausage, onion garlic, 'shroom), this way we have a definitive baseline comparison on the taste of the pizza. Dimo's was quite bland...unfortunately. I really was so hopeful dammit! The crust is a little too thick and doughy. I had even placed the pizza in my own oven to crisp it up and it's just not what we are striving for... (Note: We are Chicagoans who recently moved back home from the east coast and I know first hand what a thin crust NY pizza tastes like and this is not it people!) If ANYONE can offer some helpful advice on where I can find a thin crust that's crispy/chewy, sauce is tasty and ingredients are fresh...please help a brother out!

Matthew B.

Simple, cheap and delicious. I have been ordering from Dimo's for a few months now and it is consistently great! Dimo's offers a variety of odd-ball pizza combinations, but their traditional cheese + topping combinations is why I am writing this review. For delicious pizza in the Lakeview area, this is the place!
(5)
David F.

I fricken love Dimo's. So many delicious options to choose from, and they're open late which is great. The Mac & Cheese is definitely a must have for first-timers, but the BBQ chicken, bacon, cheddar, ranch is probably my favorite overall. It's probably sinfully bad for you but oh well, that's what exercise is for. Be sure to check out their specials menu. There's a monthly special as well as a weekly one. Sometimes they're amazing (and it's sad when the really good ones only last a week), but sometimes they can be...questionable. Though I'm sure there's tons of people who'd enjoy the exotic options.

Anabella J.

Good variety of pizzas.however they dont look so fresh nor did they taste fresh.i think the reason was that they were not heated up right.4 stars-well i have to give them they are different from anybody else and unique,however i wont be coming back.

Jen K.

It's a pizza joint, so I don't think I can get a novel out of this review. It's in the heart of Wrigelyville and a basic set-up, made to get people in and out. The staff there are nice enough but are always rushing. I have tried the mac n cheese, the BBQ, and the chicken parmesan. They were all very good. It's a fun place to go for something outside of the box, but I wouldn't equate it to being "really good pizza" especially in a city known for it's pizza.

Casey M.

Dimo's Pizza is a great late night place for a quick slice or two. With their very creative topping combinations and a fun staff Dimo's does not disappoint. Although it can get very crowded there in the early morning hours, a giant slice and a soda pop for five bucks will truly soothe your hunger pangs. Or sober your drunk ass up. On my last visit I enjoyed a slice of Chicken Bacon and a slice of Macaroni and Cheese pizza. Both were good and filled me up. It was only 10pm and the place was full, but the staff was having fun as well were me and the customers. And to sum it up... Simple, good and giant slices, to soak up all your midnight vices. Pepperoni, sausage and Mac N' Cheese, the staff here surely will please. One napkin, two napkins, three napkins, four, No more chairs? Sit on the floor. Build Me Up Butternut and Gnocchi Dokey, The special's names may sound a little hokey. But, believe you me, everything here is nice, Get your booty to Dimo's, take my advice...

Ada H.

Awesome Zaaaaa!!! And the staff ROCKS! I've been meaning to come here since it was Ian's. I never did, but it doesn't matter because Dimo's is awesome! The only reason I am deducting one star is because I feel that the pizza doesn't stay warm for long when you get it to go, and it's just not the same at home. I've been a couple time and have tried the Philly Cheese Steak, Fettucine Alfredo, BBQ Steak & Fries, and the Chorizo Seitan Taco (vegan). The chorizo taco was a bit too spicy for my taste, but that's my only complaint! I love how it's all thin and the slices are generous. #twicetheslice! There are so many options that it's very hard to choose. Everyone behind the counter are more than happy to tell you about each pizza and answer any questions. I got a punch card my first time and they added an extra punch. How nice is that? If you like pizza and want try some cool combos then Dimo's is a must. But don't expect to find pepperoni or just cheese.

I lived down the street so normally after the fun and shenanigans I usually found myself choosing between Dimo's or T-Bell. I mean you can't go wrong with either but T-Bell doesn't have Mac and Cheese pizza, philly steak pizza, chicken and waffles pizza, etc.... you name it, and Dimo's more than likely has it. I never appreciated Dimo's enough until recently. I was back in the area during the daytime (sober) and hadn't eaten lunch and was craving some mac and cheese pizza so I stopped in. By far my favorite slices are the philly slice and mac and cheese. The combination of toppings are genius and just melt in your mouth. The crust almost tastes like pillsbury dough bread out of the tube that goes Pop. Slices are HUGE so you get your fill. Great service, really friendly people. Oh the memories living on Newport Ave...the best mornings would be when I had some leftover Dimo's laying next to my bedside....breakfast of CHAMPS!!! Oh how I miss Dimo's...

Mac and Cheese pizza and Chicken & Waffles pizza are the best ever. Customer service is great and they never disappoint!

K B.

I'm not a native to Chicago. I'm also not really into Chicago-style pizza. Thus, this is my favorite pizza in the city so far! The crust is crispy, but not chewy, and the toppings usually come in many different varieties. I still haven't had the s'mores pizza, but I dream of it nightly. As others mentioned, there is usually at least one group of annoying people commandeering a table. However, it is worth the struggle. And worth 5 stars in my book.

K. G.

I used to rave about Dimo's to anyone that would listen. We had a list of 5-7 favorites and would grab slices fairly regularly. My last trip there was incredibly disappointing. It was at 5:45pm on a weekday (no Cubs game). Food: limited choices (7 total, 2 were vegan); asked about some of the aforementioned favorites and was told they don't make them anymore; overcooked slices (particularly the chicken and waffle, which is excellent when prepared correctly and almost inedible when not) Service: I ended up ordering 3 slices, 1 of which needed to be cooked. I was told it would be 10-12 minutes. After 15, I inquired. The pizza was being pulled from the oven, so I thought I was all set, except that my other slices hadn't even been warmed up yet. I was the only one waiting for food. No excuse. I love this place in theory, but the quality is slipping.

Nomie N.

NY Style Pizza when done right is very satiating...and Dimo's does it right. I don't think they advertise it heavily as being such, but there is no doubt about it. The slices are huge and you gotta fold em to make em fit in your mouth...and when they do go in your mouth, its game over. The crust thickness is just right, the sauce and toppings taste great and along with the selection of bottled drinks, it gets a solid 5 stars.
(5)
Judy L.

Stumbled upon this little gem of a pizzeria last night! Ooey, gooey pizza with crisp crust and all of your favorite comfort foods as toppings. Pizza is served by the slice for $3 (or $3.50...eh, it was kind of a late night) and cups of water are warm, but free. The cheese and potato pizza, cheese tortellini and chicken n' waffles pizza were all awesome. The waffle pieces were crispy and syrupy. Need to get back there for the mac n cheese slice! If my memory serves me right, I think there are a couple of long picnic table types of seating and then a couple of two seater tables. Seriously worth the stop and they are open late night!
(5)
Mike G.

They told me not to write a review but I must. Hands down one of my favorite spots. The staff is always super friendly and the Mac and cheese pizza is the peanut butter to my jelly. I love you Mac and cheese pizza. Always innovative thinking of things you normally wouldn't try and I've never been let down.
(5)
Reva M.

I just love Dimo's. I'm a New Yorker and still strongly consider it to be the best New York style pizza in Chicago. It also will redefine pizza for you. I highly recommend the loaded baked potato, chicken bacon ranch, and chicken parmesan pizzas. But try them all! :) Helpful hints: 1. If you have friends or relatives who are vegan or lactose intolerant, Dimo's is great because it has a lot of options for cheese that are not actually cheese. I'm pretty sure you have to order these for delivery, but it's still a great option. 2. Yes, Dimo's is a great drunken late night snack but avoid going late at night if you don't want to wait in a long line.
(5)
Sacha F.

This isn't too bad if you are craving late night pizza and want to watch the drunk idiots in Wrigleyville skip around. If you are going through a rough breakup, are PMSing, or want to make bad decisions you should come here, they have smores pizza, nacho pizza, pretty much anything you want pizza to boost that self-esteem. Well priced, and open late.

Chrissie W.

No one makes you feel as welcome as Megan does! She makes the Dimo's experience as fun as anyone could imagine. Her upbeat personality and her willingness to explain the amaZing selections make her one of a kind in the late night pizza biz! Thanks Megan, for giving us not only a great couple slices of pizza, but also a cherished Wrigleyville memory! Side note: I've never had a s'mores dessert quite like the s'mores pizza there. It's the perfect type for summer nights!

Marga P.

Had to come try the Mac and cheese pizza, and it was worth it. So much better than I expected. The other slices were also really good (really liked the cheesy garlic bread slice), and the service was really friendly and helpful for our first time here.

Wil C.

When you are in Chicago, you go for pizza. Obviously. Walked into Dimo's and immediately greeted by Carl, who isn't just a friendly host but also has the entire menu committed to memory and less tells you what pizzas are on the menu but performs it to you. Once chosen the slices get cooked whilst you chat. The pizza itself is very good, chewy base without being too salt; high quality ingredients and obviously piping hot. If you like your carbs and hate your body you cannot go wrong with a slice of mac and cheese pizza. If you are in the area, go to Dimo's.

It's one thing to have a quality product, in this case, pizza, but it's another to deliver so quickly. And on a bike? Some dude named Dan got here 10 min before I expected a car. That's worth a tip.

I came in here with a supper hungry stomach. My friend and I were in a bit of a rush, for we only had 2 hrs before class started. This was our first time here. The girl with the short black hair, who helped with our order was supper friendly. She went through the menu, informing us what they offered and how concoctions could be made. And after a minute we ordered a 12 inch sausage pepperoni. As simple as pepperoni and sausage could be, the ingredients here we're good and complimented the thin pizza well. I myself am a fan of pan or deep dish(yes, I love yummy doughy pizza). Despite my favoring of a thicker slice, this thin pizza was quite yummy.

Mike L.

LOL. Just when I thought my experience with these guys couldn't get worse, it did! The refund these guys promised me for food that wasn't delivered for two hours has yet to hit my credit card account. The charge certainly has, as my most recent credit card statement attests! Congrats guys, you've gone from selling bad pizza (I went in, saw how grimy the place looked and how mediocre the pizza appeared and thanked my lucky stars I didn't eat any of it) to being thieves. Well done.

Angie L.

this place was okay. we got caught in the rain and walked the .5 mile here based off yelp reviews. i really wished we had chosen a place closer to our original location so we wouldn't have wasted time getting soaked in the rain seeing that the food was average. we ordered three different slices and they were just okay. we also got the bottled root beer which was different as it had cinnamon in it. the service was friendly. i was a bit bothered by the bathroom seeing as it was in the kitchen. you go through this door and the bathroom is to the right and the kitchen (where they prepare your pizza) is on the left. the two were a little too close to each other for my comfort.

The husband and I went here on a "How About We" date, and when we mentioned that to the manager he said, "How about that!" It was pretty funny. We got the Philosopher salad, and everything about it was awesome except for the olives. But that's my fault. I always forget that I hate them. The feta cheese made up for that, of course. As far as pizza goes... this stuff was top-notch! We got a slice of the philly cheese steak and the barbecue chicken ranch. Both were absolutely fantastic, but the BBQ won out. Can't wait to go back and try it again. The board games were also pretty fun, we ended up playing The Game of Life: Simpsons edition. My only complaint: The music when we came in was all one album of some heavy metal, which didn't bother me except for the volume. It wasn't until some other customers came in that they changed the music and turned it down. Overall this place was perfect. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. Can't wait to go again!

Meaghan L.

I'm a fan of this Wrigley Ville pizza joint. Do I order all the crazy pizzas like mac & cheese and curry? No, I actually enjoyed just a regular margarita pizza or sausage. A slice cost you about $3.50 and it's a decent size plus super fresh. The staff is really nice there and seem happy to be working. Plus they're open late night and it's a BYOB! And here's a tip- they sell their awesome dough to take home and make your own pizza for $2-$3!

I ordered a delivery pizza from Dimo's on Saturday night and now -- a week later -- the roof of my mouth is still healing from the sear of their ultra hot pizza cheese. I realize that burnt mouths from hot pizza are no new feat, BUT burnt mouths from a delivery pizza? That's kind of a big deal. Obvi, fresh and clearly they raced through traffic to get it to me likety split, so it was the perfect, piping hot temperature to melt my uvula off at first bite. Some friends and I were actually at Headquarters Barcade saying our farewells to my best friend who's moving to California and were in dire need of pizza. I wanted to buy for the group, but also not burn my wallet and Dimo's was perfect! I got two giant 20" cheese pizzas for $35+tip. The delivery arrived at exactly the time they said it would and the driver was super nice... I think because I was already waiting outside so he wouldn't have to fight through the crowd at the extremely crowded barcade. Dimo's wasn't actually my first choice, and I had many options as Jet's was originally suggested by the bar but to be honest, the pizza this other table nearby ordered from Jet's looked pretty nurst, though they did give us some coupons. I opted to forgo the Jet's coupons the barcade gave actually handed me their house iPad to look through their GrubHub account for delivery options, but to be honest, I kind of really dislike GrubHub and don't understand why people use it to order instead of just calling the business directly since GrubHub takes a cut of the businesses profits when you order through them or use the phone number listed for that business on the GrubHub site, so I opted to chance it on my phone and hope that whereever I called would deliver to my area... also, I had no idea how to work the iPad they gave me to even cruise the GrubHub site, so that may have also played a role in my decision. I'd originally decided on Pequod's, which is pretty much always spectacular... only the delivery time for them was over 2 hours and it was already late and I've been sick, and I was hungry since yesterday, so no. Just nothing working in my favor with that one. But then I came across Dimo's on Yelp, they had great reviews and delivered to the bar I was at, hereby fitting all my criteria. Done! Dimo's was super friendly on the phone, it was easy to hear them clearly, and turns out, their pizza is super cheap. So I got those two 20" cheese pizzas for $35+tip and they came in those giant ass triangle slices so it's not the greatest to share with a lot of people, but we didn't have an enormous group, so it was fine for us. So apparently the big triangle shape + crust + greasiness is New York style, or so I was told. I didn't think the pizza was greasy at all, but my boo is kind of crazy about eating healthy so of course pizza causes his stomach to have a bit of a conniption, but he lived and this pizza was my saving grace as far as sustenance goes. It was definitely really salty, but hit the spot. I guess Dimo's is know for kind of cray pizza concoctions, but i didn't know that and I was on a budget so I just got cheese, but it might be tastier if you get actual toppings or combos. I don't often find myself in this area with having not already eaten, but if I'm ever in the same predicament again, I'll definitely give Dimo's a ring-a-ding-ding.

I love their creative pizza ideas. This place is great whether you're black out drunk or stone cold sober. Last time I went, my friends and I hung out eating various creative pizza slices while playing The Simpsons Monopoly. Of course, this in contrast to Halloween, when I vaguely remember stumbling in and somehow scoring a few slices of pizza using pocket change, and if I remember correctly, I even tried to pay with my state ID. They're cool though - I'm sure the staff at Dimos has encountered all kinds of customers. Whether you're hanging out to play board games and spend quality time with your friends, or you've got a mad craving for something totally bizarre, Dimo's is awesome and always hits the spot.

2.5 HOUR WAIT FOR DELIVERY. I ordered my one small pizza online their website, which was very simple and user friendly. However, I ordered it at 7:15 pm and received an email that my pizza should be here by 8:28 (hour and 15 later...). Around 8:45 I still did not have a confirmation email saying my pizza was out for delivery, so I called them. He said they got slammed with deliveries. I just received an email saying my pizza would be arriving at 9:28 (2 hours and 13 mins later!!!!). My pizza just got to the door at 9:48. Total time from order to door: 2 hours 33 minutes. So If you are looking for fast service, don't order here. I like the pizza but that was awful service. Good things I didn't have plans tonight.

Caroline J.

I absolutely love pizza, so stumbling across a new pizza place is always an exciting experience for me. A friend and I stopped in to pick up a pizza to bring home, and had around 15 minutes before our pizza was done. The atmosphere is fine, cool decorations and a fun vibe going on. When we were there it was not crowded by any means, but I can see it being a bit cramped if there were a lot of people. As for the pizza - loved the idea of it, but the actual pizza came up a bit short. We ordered Dimo's Special, which was tomatoes, spinach, and feta. Crust on the outside was excellent, but the inside of the pizza was not done at all and very floppy. Flavors were good, but soggy pizza just bugs me. I'd love to try it again in store and see if ours was a fluke.

I'm not sure about amazing, addicted, and I don't typically go for vegan...I just like pizza. This place is ok, the photos represent an accurate display of what you get. The sausage pizza was mediocre at best, the CPA was a bit better....very different. If your looking for a crispy, thin crust pizza, keep looking. If you want interesting topping options on a softer crust, them give them a try. For the calories and the cash, I will choose somewhere else next time.

This excellent pizza joint, just hovering beneath my nose all this time, and never have I tried the amazing Dimo's. Blasphemous! In the last (delicious) 24 hours, I have tried the Malort/Chicken Mole pizza, pesto/sausage and pesto/pepperoni. Amazing 'zas all! I will most definitely be ordering Dimo's for delivery in the near future. If you're in the hood and craving a slice, head on inside too - the folks who work there are cool and super friendly.

I've been looking for a true standout thin crust pizza that caters to my old East Coast taste plus any time I have friends in town who don't want deep dish. With that, I declare Dimo's to be my favorite thin-crust pie in Chicago. My friend Melissa and I tried five different slices this past Friday night--BBQ chicken, BBQ steak and fries, The Mac, something with a ton of penne pasta and mozzarella, and one that had a feta/blue/roquefort type of sharp cheese on top. The latter was our only miss on the menu; the other four were somewhere between magic and spectacular, all perfect crusts, all tasty toppings, all good in the hood. And those slices are hefty; we had five between the two of us and it was too much food. This, plus a soda and a water for like $17. Filthy. Big thanks to my friend Leah for the recommendation...then I get up the next day and learn that Dimo's Wicker Park has already opened, so I don't even have to go to Wrigleyville any more to get this stuff any time I want.

My girlfriend and I hit this place up using a date that HowAboutWe gave out. The pizza was pretty good. They specialize in complicated pizza. We got a buffalo chicken slice, a mac and cheese slice, and a smore slice. We also split a salad. I'm not sure I'd go back for dinner, but I'd definitely stop in for a slice, especially if I was drinking in Wrigleyville. It was oddly hot in the restaurant. It was 50 outside, but we were sweating inside. The staff members kept calling everyone "buddy" or "bud". It really started to grate on my nerves after a while.

i tried dimo's for the first time tonight and i was blown away. first of all, the guy working the counter had so much personality and was extremely helpful by giving us a rundown of every pizza they have. we ended up getting a 20" half philly, half bbq chicken bacon cheddar ranch pizza and i almost died it was so good. but of course we couldn't eat all of it so we have breakfast for the morning! i can't wait to try more next time i come here!

A friend recently told me about this pizza place i would love so I decided to check it out. I am a massive MASSIVE pizza fan so it wasn't long before I did! At this stage I've tried it multiple times and never had a bad experience. It can get a bit crazy late at night when drunk people start getting food cravings but as long as you're one of them, you'll be fine! The staff there are beyond helpful and fun. To be honest I think they must be taking happy pills because no matter what time day or night you go in they're super sweet, attentive and knowledgeable about all the pizzas on offer! I've tried most of their specialty pizzas, but I'm a hardcore pepperoni lover at heart and always resort back to that. My one complaint is that it's not open that early on weekdays so my pizza needs go unfulfilled! :(

The squad and I come here on a regular basis with a couple 30 racks and post up to play Cards Against Humanity. Its tight. I've never tried the pizza tho; we only come in for the byob. Its pretty dope especially considering that its so cold outside and the ovens heat up the place nice and cozy. ;)

Chicago is getting pretty competitive with pizza. There are a lot of great options. While Dimo's has potential, things didn't go well today. Pros: - Lots of creative pies - Decent prices Cons: - Pizza was 4 inches larger than the box it was delivered in. They smushed it in. - The wrong pizza arrived. It looked like the right pizza but was missing two critical ingredients (chicken and bacon) and included another that I do not like which was not listed on the menu (snap peas) - Crust was tough and hard to chew through A swing and a miss!

The pepperoni pizza was burned. I don't know how a pizza place doesn't know how long to leave a pizza in the oven. The salad was very good, which is why I'm giving any stars at all.

Hands down in the top 3 for best pizza I've ever had. Probably top on the list for best pizza I've ever eaten after drinking too much. You know, the kind of pizza you want when you've had a few too many beers and it's still early enough that you don't have to go to taco bell. When you really just want a piece of pizza topped with mac and cheese, philly cheese steak, or chicken fingers. Or when that sweet tooth just won't leave you alone and you're just tipsy enough to eat a slice covered in marshmallows, chocolate chips, and teddy grahams. This is where you go to get all of the above. I prefer a good slice of thin crust pizza to any other style of crust, and they do it perfect here. It's ordered by the slice from a pre-made pizza, which can be a risk at some places, but after they put it in the oven for a few minutes, the toppings are hot, the cheese is melted, and the crust is crispy like it just came out freshly made. The choices I listed above are just a small sampling of the crazy combinations that they have available. I got a chicken penne alfredo pizza and it was delicious. I was a little unsure about pasta on top of pizza, but mine was great, my friends tortellini pizza was excellent, and their mac and cheese with homemade crÃ¨me fraiche appeared to be one of their most popular. I also got to try the s'mores pizza, which had enough sugar to give an elephant diabetes, but if sweet is your thing; this one is definitely worth trying. I would give this place at minimum 4 stars for their food alone, but what put it over the top are the fantastic people working there. I don't think I could work in a pizza place serving drunk people all day and night and even pretend to provide good customer service. These people do it and genuinely have a blast, which just spreads through the whole place. They are really nice and were more than happy to explain everything that was on each of their odd creations. We even got to see some singing and dancing while enjoying our pizza (although I'd recommend sticking to your day jobs :). The service is fast, the food is delicious, and the staff is awesome. Definitely going to be a must visit for me the next time I am in Wrigleyville.

I love the pizza here. I've already reviewed this once but I must change my star rating due to the impeccable service I had over the weekend. My friend and I were standing outside contemplating whether we should enter. Mostly because I was concerned for the unhealthy eating factor and not because we were nervous of the food - we already knew it was good. We had two employees come up to us who were just about to start their shift. One who mentioned that the Greek Spanikopita style pizza was delicious and the other seeing our hesitance, offered a free slice to us. I did not think she actually meant this - was just a way to get us to come in. We decided to anyway and low and behold, we only paid for one slice. All of the staff I have interacted with here are incredibly courteous. 5 stars for you now, Dimo's.

What more could you want after a night of bar-hopping in Wrigleyville? This place has some of the most unique combinations of pizza toppings I have ever heard of: Chicken and Waffle Pizza? Nacho Pizza? S'Mores Pizza? It's good, and creative, but it's not going to top my "favorite pizza" chart anytime soon. The pizza looks like it's been sitting out a little too long and the style of crust is somewhere in between true thin crust and a traditional hand-tossed. Can't say I have the desire to come here sober but keep staying open late and I'll keep coming back after a few beers!

It was one of those nights where it definitely felt like 3:00 AM...and it was 10:30 PM. I suppose a Wrigley rooftop for a 3:30 game will do that to you. A group of us had been out after the game and quickly became a ravenous herd looking for nourishment. Stumbling out of Three Aces, we found ourselves in Dimo's. This 4 star rating is based on what you'd expect from a pizza place catering to drunks in Wrigleyville. They have a bunch of pizza pies already made, most of which include so many toppings you don't know what's going on. They slices are huge and thin, and once you've picked your pizza, they pop it in the oven and it comes out steaming hot. I commend the staff for being incredibly patient and explaining exactly what was on every piece so you could make an informed decision. I had some sort of chicken taco pizza and it was delicious. Flavorful, lots of toppings, I loved it. Others in my group got a buffalo chicken, philly, and sausage/pepperoni. Everyone scarfed down their slices. They also have a faucet with cups for water which was nice. Once I sat down to write this review, I checked out their menu and truly had no idea how many options they had! Overall, I'll be back for another slice.

Pita bread with ketchup. No, that's not an appetizer, that's what this place slangs under the guise of "pizza". The worst pizza I've ever had. Despicable.

I used to live a block or two away from this place. It isn't until now, a few years later, that I really appreciate just how damn good this pizza is. Forget Santullo's or any of the other "new york style" pizza places, this is the place to go. It's actually perfect. I am eating warmed up leftovers, and it tastes just like a slice I'd grab from any of my favorite slice spots in NYC. The crust is crispy, but has a nice soft springiness to it. The sausage is SLICES not chunks, and it also perfect. It's just damn good pizza. Real pizza.

Vincent B.

Dimo's topping options are super creative and change all the time! I've had the chicken and waffles, the pasta alfredo, and a few others. A great place to stop by before/after/during drinking nearby. The crowd is pretty young, and as you can see from the photos its all paper plates etc; but the pizza could not be better. Its not as delicate as pizza from apart or elsewhere but its really creative, 5 stars.

On the advice of a trusted foodie, we decided to try this place tonight. Although, he recommended Ian's, we discovered that Ian's is now Dimo's but nothing about the product or the process has changed. Either way, the pizza was great. We ordered 4 different slices so that we could try the various styles. They have more than four, but we are, after all, only two people. The macaroni-n-cheese slice was surprisingly good. I wasn't sure how I would feel about this particular carb-fest, but I'm a fan. The bottom of the pizza stayed nice and crispy, and the top was covered in a sauce, possibly bechamel, and elbow macaroni with at least two types of cheese. We both liked this one. The mushroom-penne-Alfredo slice was comparable. The mushrooms were abundant, the Alfredo sauce was good, and the penne, though fewer than the macaroni on the prior slice, was still sufficient. They have a pizza that is like mashed potatoes or small potatoes or something smothered with cheese. It is fantastic! Just to compare we also ordered a plain cheese and a pepperoni. Both were good. They were greasier than the other two, so the bottom of the pizza was not as crispy. So to eat this one you had to do the New York thing and fold the slice in half. Greasy equals soggier bottom but still tasty. Real plus is here is that Dimo's is BYOB! Also, they deliver in the neighborhood. But, unfortunately, not on days when the Cubs play or played, regardless of when the game was or what time it is now, so make other plans then.

So I'm not sure just how to classify this place in the pizza world. Board games, indie coffee shop atmosphere, wrigleyville local... It's confusing. What I can say is that the people that work there are awesome. They seem to genuinely love the place. The pizza? It is very good. It's not any better or worse than other local places but they have unique and very tasty combinations. I recommend it

I created my own 12" za (italian sausage, portobello, mozzarella, asiago, marinara) and also ordered a slice (BBQ Chicken). It was about 11:30pm on a Wednesday, and I ordered delivery. The best part about this experience was the delivery speed: my order arrived much quicker than the estimation provided. The food was hot and the sausage and mushrooms tasted delicious. Although I selected mozzarella as my base cheese and asiago as a topping, it appeared that there was little of either on the 12-inch-er. Additionally, the slice I ordered was good for a late-night slice, but its rubbery toppings and nearly-stale crust definitely indicated that it had been sitting for a while. Because of the speed and the taste of the toppings on my custom built pizza, I definitely will not rule out Dimo's for future orders. However, my experience did not appear to match that of other enthusiastic raters, mine being merely mediocre yet barely adequate.

I love dimos! Have been here on many drunk occasions and plenty sober lol. I really love the high fry pizza they had unfortunately they discontinued it recently for whatever reason I don't know why :( Fridays around 2am gets really crowded, long line and its tough to find a place to sit. Their free water faucet they have ready available for self serve is unusually warm.. Disappointing to bite into a great pizza then chug warm water without knowing.. Hip vibe good prices will be back again always

April M.

I visit Dimo's whenever I am in Wrigleyville. The mac and cheese pizza is the perfect end to the night after visiting bars. If you're looking for pizza with atypical toppings this is the place to go! It's always packed but there's a reason why.

This place is never a dissapointment. After a night of drinking it's the best place to hit up. Always some sort of interesting combination to try out. Vegan options as well!

Fabulous variety & choices!! The chicken & waffles pizza was delicious! The staff was very helpful in explaining the choices & toppings
(5)
Bart S.

This used to be Ian's, now it's Dimo's. The interesting variety of pizza is the same. The Pizza slices all need some sort of explanation, there are many to choose from, and nothing is basic really, but that's OK, the staff is helpful and friendly. I had chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese and ranch..it was great!~ I have been here when it was Ian's and it is the same stuff. The owners didn't want to pay a franchise fee, so they branched off. (when asked) If you are going to a baseball game at Wrigley Field, and some cheap eats, go here first. Then to Wrigley Field. The prices in the ball park are insane...and the food there is eck, This is not the best pizza in Chicago, but it's right up there.

Great pizza, down the street from Stretch. The lines are long, but they move fast and a slice of pizza is $3.

When you have always been a traditional pizza eater (sauce,pepperoni,and cheese) it can be hard to steer away. This place has opened my horizons. Their pork nacho pizza was not only delicious,it was hot and ready. If you want to wait 40 minutes for deep dish at a fancy pizzeria, this is not your place. Looking for out of the norm, quick service deliciousness, this is your place.

Andrew S.

If you're not looking for a Chicago-style pizza in Chicago, this is where it's at! Solid pricing, and outstanding food. The customer service was good, although the location at 6 Corners in Wicker is notably more spectacular and fun in that regard. They have incredible combinations, and tasty beers as well. We've had macaroni and cheese pizza, sausage alfredo, apple cinnamon rhubarb (vegan!), and more. All were spectacular, but I usually find myself jonesing for the standard cheese. Say cheese? Yes, please!
(5)
Calvin Y.

When a place has pizzas featuring Mac and Cheese, BBQ Chicken, and Taco pizza, there's not much more you can say besides that it's awesome. What's even better? When asked if I wanted a punch card, I told the gal that I was from out of town (so I didn't need one as I wouldn't be a frequent customer), we found out we were both from the Evergreen State!
(4)
Nitya D.

Yeah, let's talk about the s'mores pizza shall we? It's perhaps the most decadent pizza I've ever had. I was really weirded out at first when they informed me that there's a bit of mozz on the za. Because I was like "eehhhh mozzarella with marshamallows?" Well, they apparently hire genius chefs at Dimo's. Because holy shit, it was out of control. So much so that we got a large s'mores pie to go and devour at home. We made it about 5 minutes before completely inhaling it. Also had a savory slice with tomatoes and basil, which was good, but average, nothing special. Also had the pumpkin pie slice, which is totally vegan and available all month. It was okay as well, perhaps a little heavy on the pumpkin spice. Overall, very happy I had the opportunity to eat here while visiting Chicago.

Jeff S.

I wouldn't go as far as saying it is the best pizza I have had, but if I am hungry in wrigleyville late night, there is no question where I am going. I have never had a slice of this Frankenpizza sober, and I probably never will, but as far as I know, the Chicken Parmesan, Guacamole Burrito, Mac n Cheese, or Chicken Penne Alfredo are definitely quality candidates to fill that void between 1-2am...or after cubs games are over...

Amy N.

I LOVE Ian's pizza, but this location rubbed me the wrong way a few weeks ago during a weekend visit around 9pm...Granted, it was a god-awful hot night in the city (90 degrees after sunset), but we arrived at Ian's sweaty and ready for some cold water and big pizza. I think their AC must have been broken or something, because it was STEAMING hot in there. I wish that all Ian's would install fountain drink machines, but I understand that's an extra expense and a huge hassle. However, they did have a water facet for glasses of water, and the water was HOT as well! What gives? Of course, my food was fantastic, as it always is. I just prefer my Milwaukee location!
(3)
Ryan S.

What else is there to say beyond what everyone else already has. The reason I am doing this review is more so to solidfy their rating as every fan should be doing. It might not be your Chicago style pizza joint, but they pizza's they pull off deserve their own categorizing. Make sure to tip those guys work hard to feed SO MANY baseball fans, bar crowds, and hungry locals! And they do it all with a very positive attitude!

Stacie K.

So I often find myself at Rebel bar & grill across the street from this fine establishment. Curse? Some would say so. I love the different kinds of pizza they offer with toppings that I would never have put on a pizza..like..mac n cheese pizza...LOVE IT! I BELIEVE I've also had the barbecue chicken pizza..the memory is a bit fuzzy though. ANYWAY, I always get good food here...you're in and out, stuffed, drunk, and ready to pass out in no time!
(5)
Jim D.

For a place that sees an obscene amount of business on the weekends, this place is awfully efficient, awfully friendly, and serves up some of the most unique pies in the city. Smack in the middle of Wrigleyville, you would figure it would serve cookie cutter New York thin crust, charge you $5-$6, and laugh all the way to the bank on the dime of drunk kids who don't know any better. However, Ian's has integrity, or simply feels some connection to the Wrigleyville crowd because he (I'll assume Ian actually exists) eschews this logic to make his pizza damn tasty. I usually stick with the meaty pizzas, but those who take the plunge on his more creative dishes have given high marks. Most importantly, in the drunk food pantheon, this is one of the few places I've been to sober. I wholeheartedly endorse Ian's at this time as well, considering his location and clientele, he does a damn fine job

chris r.

Pretty much my favorite pizza place ever. It's also great for vegetarians cause they offer way more than just a slice of cheese, they even sell vegan slices on thursdays now! The staff is great and will give you the rundown of all the different slices they have available. If you're around this place, go in. If there's a line to the door, wait. It's worth it.

Lai-Nin W.

This place has awesome pizza by the slice, and you can't beat the fact that it's BYOB. I went here before a concert at the metro, and it was great. Nice guys work behind the counter and the place always has lots of comfortable tables and booths to sit in. The one thing that I will caveat this with is that I went on a saturday night around 830PM, and there were already drunken guys throwing up on themselves by 9....eh Wrigleyville. Just ignore it. :)

Miles B.

I went on Sunday after the final Cubs game of the season. They have an impressive selection of inventive pizzas and the prices were reasonable (under $10 for my wife and I to get a slice and a soda). The staff was friendly and the place was clean. All that said, I got the Chicken Alfredo pizza and was pretty disappointed. The chicken and mostaccioli were rubbery and bland, the sauce was light, which to me was the best part and the crust was sinfully boring. I know what you're going to say and yes, I did sample my sister's Mac and Cheese pizza. I liked that a little better but not enough to make me go back if I can avoid it.
(2)
Courtney W.

Talk about amazing. There was a period in my life that I avoided Wrigleyville at all costs. While I'm not so picky now, Ian's was the only exception to my anti-Wrigley rule. My boyfriend brought me here one night after a long, long night of imbibing and I was immediately smitten. I got a slice of pizza with cheese, ranch dressing, and sliced potatoes. The pizza with mac and cheese is also priceless and delicious. They even have a vegan pizza night every Thursday. You also can't go wrong with the price, $3.50 for quite a large piece. The staff is also very friendly and will offer to throw in a specific pizza if they don't have the flavor that you want out at that time. They also have excellent pizza for dessert (yes, I said pizza for dessert). The s'more pizza is fantastic. This place gets a little crowded when the bars let out but it's just as good when you aren't tipsy and staggering home. With so many options to choose from, this is a no brainer for a large group or a picky eater.

Dan C.

We were a bit buzzed and mighty hungry. A mere 5 minute walk from my friend's house, we went to Ian's after several people's independent and unsolicited recommendation. We were not disappointed. Unique and tasty. The mac-and-cheese pizza lived up to it's hype. By-the-slice was a great way to try multiple types of pizza and was perfect in allowing us to fill up without leftovers. BYOB was a great way to let us cheaply keep our buzz on our way to the next destination.

Janine G.

As a vegan, this place offers the best truly vegan pizza in the city, hands down. They use Chicago's own "mozzarella" Teese-- one of the best vegan cheeses available. They also use another Chicago based company, Upton's Naturals, for the "pepperoni, sausage" and other fake meats. I am always so tired of having to order a cheese-less pizza that tastes like toast with some artichokes thrown on as an afterthought. Ian's seals the deal for vegan pizza. I also have heard that they are trying to expand their vegan options, so that will be even more awesomer. My fellow meat and dairy eaters have also told me that their regular concoctions are pretty damn amazing also. 1 star less for not having a more extended delivery area/schedule. : (

Ive obviously waited too long to try this place. I was expecting some super crazy delicious stuff. I tried the mac and cheese pizza and the bbq chicken pineapple. Both were good. Not out of this world. Its definitely different. I will add the crust was very good. Service was great. I was greeted and was offered an explanation of all the pizzas. I will go back to get my punch card filled and get my free slice. Yay!

David P.

Holy Pizza Heaven. I've been wanting to try out Ian's for quite some time. I was not disappointed. Let's keep it short and simple. The mac and cheese pizza will rock your world. Ask for ranch to dip (if that's your thing). The slices are about the size of your head. You'll be tempted to get 2, but 1 will be just fine.

My crazy cravings and I. It's pass 11pm and I'm craving thin crust pizza. Log on yelp, check off places that are still open with highest ratings. Boom, Ian's Pizza shows up. Skim through some reviews of mac n cheese pizza? Myself thinking... hmm, I never been here.. wtf is this place. Picked up some friends and punched in my GPS. After cruising on 94W.. where the crap am i going. When i finally pulled into Belmont and Clark... ohhhh... this is Wriglyville. Ha, I've been in this neighborhood before. I could have took LSD! I'm an idiot and my GPS is an idiot. As we venture in, so many delicious looking thin crust pizza, along with the popular mac n cheese pizza. I didn't feel like standard toppings and they were out of the special (Pancetta). Buffalo chicken and mac n cheese is what I got. They got, some ranch chicken, philly cheese steak, and the spinach mushroom. Wow, this pizza is excellent. It taste just like how its titled. Crispy bottom, and soft on top; this is amazing. With their hours of operation and their delicious variations of toppings and taste, I have a place to goto when I'm craving thin crust pizza.

Patrick B.

I love Ian's. My favorite pizza in the city. Just be adventurous and actually try some of the creative pizzas they have, it annoys me when I bring people here and they just get a slice of cheese and pepperoni after I hype it up so much. You won't be disappointed.

Amanda Z.

So my bf tells me "We have to get this mac 'n cheese pizza this weekend." I'm not real excited about it, but hey, this guy will do anything for ME (I'm lucky, I know it), so I was willing to oblige. "$30 to deliver any pizza," they say, so we place our order and are off to pick it up. No problem. $24 for a MASSIVE pizza. Not a bad deal. He gets in the car with the 'za and immediately, the smell overtakes me..."Holy holy," I say, "That thing smells frickin' fantastic!" So we get home and dive in. HUGE slices covered with macncheesy goodness. And truthfully, it's not like a real pizza cuz there's no tomato sauce. Just a carb-lovers dream of HUGE crusty dough topped with a thick layer of macaroni and cheese, baked to gooey perfection. It was FANTASTIC. So fantastic I crammed another slice down when I knew I was full. But hey, I am a trooper like that. That pizza was dinner for us for two nights. $24 for carbliciousness that lasts two meals? I'm all about it. Know what? I might consider listening to ideas given by the bf from now on. But don't tell him I said that.

Katy W.

I got the buffalo chicken wing pizza... it was spicy and tasty..with blue cheese. I recommend this out of the three we tried. My date got the chicken parmesan, which he thinks is dry. We tried the mac and cheese slice. To us, it was bland. Mushy and salty. I don't enjoy the two together.

Erica S.

Sometimes, I feel like a creature of habit. And. I guess so. If I am along this strip of Clark when I am in Wrigleyville, I will come here. Especially if I am hungry. And, I was HUNGRY this past Friday night. So off we went to Ian's. We walked there and there was a line out the door. No sweat. I wanted pizza and I wanted it now so I stood in it. I am updating the review for this fact. They get an extra star from before. "Why?" you ask. Well I'll tell you why: this line was the most efficient that I have stood in in a very, very, very long time. I was impressed. I was shocked. I was...full, because it only took about 10 minutes maximum to get through the line, where I tried the breakfast burrito pizza (to die for) and my go to favorite, Mac and Cheese pizza. All in all, Ian's can color me impressed because I am.

Mikael N.

An unbelievable selection of vegan pizzas, from the Farmer's Market one, which is loaded with fresh veggies, to the Gyro style, with just the right amount of Upton's Seitan. End it all with a slice of their S'mores pizza and you will leave with a full belly and huge smile.

Delicious pizza, especially on those cold Chicago nights after a night of drinking in Wrigleyville. Their innovative toppings and relatively cheap slices make this a win. Not the best pizza I've had, but definately among the most creative. Also this place is BYOB, so make sure you bring along a bottle or sixer of your favorite adult beverages!

Last week I decided I REALLY wanted to try the Mac N Cheese Pizza. Talked to the GF, decided to stay in, watch a movie (Side Note #1: the movie was Son of Rambow, very good BTW) and order the ZA. It was right down the street, so we just decided to pick it up (Side Note #2: I think I was the only customer in the place that was not high.) I apparently just don't know how big is 20 inches (Side Note #3: Get your mind out of the gutter.) There are 2 sizes of Pizza, 12 or 20 inches. Also, the price is based on the number of toppings you order, but if you want one of their MANY specialty pizzas, then it tells you what the number of toppings is, and that's the price (i.e., the Mac N Cheese is listed as a 3 topping pizza, so it costs the price of a 3 topping pizza). The place itself is very small and clean, with about 6 tables, it's fine if you're walking by and you just want to grab a quick slice, but you wouldn't sit in there for more than a couple minutes. I've decided it's my new goal in life to try every single one of their specialty pizzas. (Side Note #4: It's good to have goals. Edmund Hillary had his mountain, I have Ian's Pizza). BBQ Steak and Fries Pizza-Yes! Chicken Burrito Pizza-Yes!

Ian's Pizza is my Chicago version of Champaign's Antonio's Pizza. They are almost identical. Both serve up good, interesting and cheap pizza-by-the-slice. Unlike Antonio's, however, this Ian's location is very small. They also insist upon playing unusually loud music that can be a little off-putting if you aren't a drunk Wrigleyviller. For $3 though, you can't really go wrong. Get a meal-sized slice, some free water and you're good to go. One quick anecdote: the first time my friend and I visited Ian's, someone threw a rock through one of the restaurant's front windows, shattering it completely. It was February. Things got chilly, fast. Gives you a little insight into the area though. Drunk assholes everywhere - be prepared. Luckily, a good Samaritan chased the rock-thrower down though and the police got him. A douche bag arrested and great slice of pizza... perfect night?

Very cool and different pizzas! Mac and cheese pizza is awesome, also they had a vegan pizza with vegan cheese and vegan "meat" very delicious !

Really good New York style pizza with many interesting combinations of fresh ingredients. Ian's really is unlike many other pizza places with their interesting pizza combinations ex. mac and cheese, tortellini, gnochi, bbq, breakfast types of pizza. Little cramped, took a little while to get through the line, but definitely worth it. Will be stopping again soon when I'm near Wrigley.

I really want to like Ian's. It is a place I keep on coming back to hoping it will live up to it's high reviews. I have to admit, it is slightly better after consuming several beers. I'll give Ians credit for being innovative, but I would rather eat a really delicious slice of pizza and a tasty piece of lasagna separately, than a mediocre slice of pizza + a mediocre piece of lasagna. Despite the underwhelming pizza, atmosphere and staff great!

It was my first visit to Chicago and I tried Ian's Pizza on my last night. Though Ian's Pizza is much more like New York style pizza, it was my favorite restaurant from my whole trip... and I ate at a lot of places too! I was sad that the first attempt to go to Ian's was on a Monday night and they were CLOSED! *cry* But the second attempt they were open, and thank goodness they're open late! Too bad they didn't have all the types of pizza other yelpers had recommended -- I really wanted to try their guacamole burrito pizza! Their menu says you can try and request for a pizza if you don't see it, but I'm pretty modest and I'd feel sheepish asking for a pizza, especially late night. I wanted to try the mac n cheese pizza, but since it has so many mixed reviews, I went for what the server had recommended. I got the pizza with pureed kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, and mozzarella. SooOOo good! My boyfriend got the cordin bleu which had bleu cheese, chicken, and ham on it and he was a big fan of his pizza too. If only my bf and I weren't so full from eating out all around the city, we would've loved to have eaten and tried out more pizza slices from Ian's! I have to be brutally honest and say that after living in New York City for a while, I am a food snob and Chicago food just didn't hit the spot for me. BUT... Ian's Pizza. Ian's Pizza hit the spot.

Not totally sure what I was expecting--after only scanning the Yelp reviews (I should know better to do some serious investigation) I decided on mac 'n cheese pizza out of boredom and the decided need to expand my food universe a bit. We arrived and the music was BLASTING. I mean, right, most people that roll up in here at 2am were probably just at some place down the street with twice the volume levels, but for a Sunday night, it seemed a little unnecessary. Checking out all the crazy pizzas on display, my man and I weren't sure if they actually served "regular" pizzas with "regular" toppings (and my bad for not asking) but we settled on the mac 'n cheese and bbq steak and french fries pizza. Being even more a pizza purist than I, he was definitely freaked out by his own order. I will say that I liked the bbq sauce--it was tangy and sweet and not too overwhelming, but the french fries were weird and soggy. The mac 'n cheese pizza was, well, mac 'n cheese on bread. Cool concept, but not the best in actual execution--kind of bland, actually. I may or may not feel differently if I was 4 or 5 beers in...but not this time. Maybe I'm slowly turning into a sheltered recluse and every establishment in Wrigleyville really isn't all that bad...or I'm just never drunk enough to be there? Sorry Ian's.

Tonight I was craving some Pizza so I did a quick Yelp search and Ian's was close by and had good reviews and I wanted to try something new. I found the menu and decided to take Shennelle's advice and ordered up 4 different slices. They told me it would take about an hour for delivery and the food was on my table within 35 minutes. Nice. First up was the El Mexicano (Carne asada, pico de gallo, chips, tomatillo salsa, cheddar). OMG, I tore through this thing in about a minute and a half but if felt like 30 seconds. This thing was awesome and I'll definitely be ordering a full pizza of it in the future. Second came the Papa Bandit (BBQ sauce, potato, bacon2, ranch). Really good but I think the potatos were sliced too thick. I may have liked the pizza more if maybe the potatos were mashed first. Still, overall the taste was pretty good. I only ate about 1/3 of it because I wanted to try the other pizzas. Third was the Spicy Chicken Taco. Also a very good slice, slightly spicy and good taste. Ate about 1/3 of it as well and then started getting full. Since I wanted to save space for that delicious looking brownie I passed up any of the meatlovers pizza but it also looked just as scrumptious. I'm sure it will taste great when I heat up with the rest of the leftovers tomorrow. If you're now wondering why I only gave this place 4 stars instead of 5 it's for the simple fact of the outer crust. It was a bit too chewy/dry for my liking. I'm a huge crust lover and there ya have it. I could have used some more sauce closer to the crust. Or maybe make the outer crust a little butterier. Who knows. Otherwise overall the pizzas were great and like I said earlier, I'm definitely ordering the El Mexicano again. Now for the Brownie... It was Friggin RIDICULOUS Good!!!!!! 'Nuff said.

I went to Ian's because it's one of the few places where you can get vegan pizza. They have a great selection of fake meats and two different types of vegan cheeze to choose from (cheddar and mozzarella). We ordered a 20" with fake pepperoni and mozzarella. The pizza was good, and I especially liked the flavor of the sauce and crust. The fake pepperoni was a little bit dry but tasty overall. I would probably ask for extra cheeze next time too. The big reason that I will definitely be going back to Ian's is their great customer service. They messed up our order and made a 12" instead of a 20". They gave us the 12" for free and re-made the 20" to-go! We didn't have to wait extra or anything, and the employees were exceptionally friendly. Their root beer is also really unique and delicious!

Depending on your b.a.c. the rating varies. Unique toppings: good drunk patrons: good and bad uncionciously drunk patrons: bad and annoying service: quick cleanliness: typically below average (thanks annoying drunk asses)

Ian's is fantastic! The pizza choices are great, the taste is fun, and the staff is quick and friendly. I make pizza at home and may have to "borrow" a few recipes - mainly the zucchini and cherry tomatoes; I just wish I knew what cheese they were using. I didn't see the mac and cheese pizza but did see it in a blog thisiswhyyourefat.com ... which should be named this is what is most tasty!

An after hours pizza place on Clark Street in Wrigleyville? No thanks! That place has just gotta be accumulating with punch drunk yuppies and the prissy trixies set! Trust me, I know, I gotta live in this hell hole. But all prejudices aside, this slice of pie haven escapes the curse of Wrigleyville molestation for several reasons: 1) Their pies are tasty, fresh, and oh so creative! Pasta on a pizza? Try the Mac and Cheese pie! 2) The music was dope! Celia, the girl behind the counter, was bumpin' some jazzy beats by Madlib's Shades of Blue album. Oh Celia, you are as the French say, "So cool!" 3) The Decor has humor and personality, completing the wry humor identity of the food, staff, and spirit of the place. I'm sad to say it, but this yelper's found a new pizza joint in Wrigleyville! Sorry Panino's!

I've only had their vegan pizza and it is great! Thy will make you a whole vegan pizza any day of the week. In addition, they also do vegan pizza by the slice every Thursday from opening to 10 pm. All the vegan options I've had are amazing, but I highly recommend the vegan mac and cheese. Other favorites include vegan chili cheeze fry, vegan lasagna, and vegan taco. I've been going here almost every Thursday since they started offering vegan options over a year ago, and thus I am recognized as a regular! Also recommend doing the punch-card system, which will get you one free slice for every ten slices you buy. Oh, and it's BYOB, so stop by the liquor store down the street and pick up a six-pack.

If I could give zero stars, I would. We ordered a pizza at 7:25 and were told that the estimated time for delivery was over hour and a half. Ridiculously high wait time, but we held out anyway. Called back at 9:03 when the pizza should have been delivered and were told that it would take an additional hour, and when I told the gentleman on the phone that this wait was unacceptable, he said "ok, have a goodnight" and abruptyly hung up. Never ordering from them again. 2 and a half hours for pizza?

Dimos has some interesting combinations! I really love their Mac n' cheese! Seriously, it's a whole carb-fatty filled slice of awesomeness. Try it. They rotate the different types of slices, so every-time we go there are never the same things (which is good and bad). Sometimes the combos look tasty, other times they do not. They're pretty expensive per slice ($4.50+) but we always get a couple slices and share, and three slices is usually more than enough food for two people. There is not much space to sit in, so I would suggest getting your pizza to go.
(4)
Nick M.

Great variety for drunk fans. Never had this sober, and probably will never. I usually get something crazy, and it is always good. Comes piping hot because they throw it in the oven upon order, though its already been cooked, so it's not really "fresh" The pizza sits under lights that keeps them heated. Best part is they have hot sauce available at all times. If you want something different try this place, though they are pricey. Expect to pay $4 or more a slice of your choice.

I am not from the Valley but Oh My God this place is Awwwesome! We stumbled upon Dimo's after last Friday Cubs game, as my boyfriend and I were eating appetizer across the street. Being an adult with a taste bud of a 5-year old child, he was eyeing this pizza joint badly. See, he can survive on cheese pizza (ny style) solely and won't at all think that it's a cruel and unusual punishment. As I was rolling my eyes, I consulted my guru aka yelp and I was impressed. In fact I was like, let's go and check this out. My enthusiasm scared him, he now wondered what he got himself into. I guess we got there at perfect time because there's no wait. The crowd poured in shortly after. I honestly was full, but chicken waffle pizza was calling my name. He ordered plain cheese, and I am happy to say they called him out twice for being boring Thank you for speaking the truth! My pizza was insane. It's a mix of sweet and savory. The butter and maple syrup glazed over the little chunks of fried chicken tenders and waffles. I can say this is not the healthiest food as my artery was slowly clogging. But hey, what's a heart attack or two for such culinary fabulousness. And the 2 slices came to be less than $7. Cheap and good, my kinda joint. Wish there's one in my own town...

The Chicken Cordon Blue pizza was mighty tasty drunk food. My sober friends also enjoyed their slices. I liked the crust as well. The piece was big enough to be filling, but not overindulgent.

My second favorite pizza place in Chicago (my first being Bacci). It's hard not to go in being that I live in the area and pass by it to and from work 5 days a week. It can get crowded at times, but it's Wrigleyville, so that's to be expected. Mac&Cheese slice is a classic, but I got their special last week of Curried Chicken with roasted red peppers and curried rice. It was amazing.

Tina P.

Stumbled off the plane and desperately needed dinner. Where else would I turn? Yelp on my iphone of course. Around Wrigley field - check! Close to public transport - Check! High rated pizza - Check! Open late - Check! Good pizza by the slice and really unique combination. Lots of preparty and postbar people inside getting a fix. I was personally disappointed this wasn't a Chicago deep dish style place by the slice. I should have read the reviews much closer. But really it was my fault. So big fat warning so you don't make the same mistake - THIS IS NOT A CHICAGO DEEP DISH PLACE.
(4)
Cory H.

It's Chicago for goodness sake so the pizza better be damn good! The real thing these guys have figured out is not pizza but PIZZA CREATIVITY. You're not going to get the same old boring toppings here so step up your taste bud game and get adventurous or just keep stepping. If it was just about pizza...this place gets 5 stars. Things got a little out hand when a few Cub fans (feeling good with spirits from the game) decided to turn Ian's Pizza into an UFC match. Yup, a fight broke out in the seating area! Hats off to the crew at Ian's for responding quickly and getting the brawl out of the restaurant and onto the street. It sounds like this kind of thing happens often in these parts so I have to deduct a star. I'm willing to try any kind of topping on my pie but I'm not a fan of knuckle sandwiches.

Jonathan H.

Best slice in town. Weird combinations, but my favorite right now is the BBQ chicken and it has a little ranch on it. Sounds gross, but it's awesome. Staff is real nice too.

Nicole B.

We love the pizza here. We are vegan and love having a delivery option near our house. They give you four toppings and daiya cheese on a medium pizza for only $14. I think we would give it five stars if there were more sauce on the pies and the crust was a little crispier. That said, I am always very satisfied with my Ian's experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for good vegan fare.

Jenny J.

OMG - I love pizza, I mean I am a NY'er and what NY'er doesn't love pizza...especially the stuff you can fold and eat...none of that deep dish for this NY'er, I want to fold my pizza and eat it! I discovered Ian's after a night at the Wild Hare (review to come later). The line was very long, but a friend said we had to stay and try the pizza, so we did. It was more than worth it! I haven't had pizza this good since living in NY. I had the chicken parmesan and the mac and cheese pizza. So good! I will be back!

Paul B.

I love pizza and am always on the look-out for a good slice. I came upon this joint yesterday (and then again today) and will surely go back next week. They are very creative and their offerings are delicious. The toppings all taste fresh and delicious. I have had the tortellini and the curry chicken pizza and was surprised at how good it was. I am looking forward to working my way down the menu. Even the art on the walls is awesome. There is a water station so you can get you own water without having to ask and get that eye-rolling response from the counter help. Therein lies my first of two negatives. I am clearly (gratefully) not a Wrigleyville 20-something. While the staff does a lot of "cool" bits for the 'locals" they kind of snub me. My money holds the same value as theirs - honest it does. The other negative is they are a bit pricey. $3.75 for a slice of thin pizza is a bit much. There are pizzas of equal quality for far less available all over the city. the others might not be as creative - but if I buy a slice of pizza and am still hungry after eating it - that doesn't bode well for me. I will return - at least until i fill up my punch card - but to get the full five stars - the staff needs to not be as "Wrigleyville cool" and just be "Chicago cool."

Not J B.

Creative toppings at this pizza place which unfortunately has some terrible flavors mixed in with the great ones. My advice is to get two slices of different pizzas.

GMF J.

2.5 stars To start, this Ian's is not as good flavor wise as the one I visited twice in Madison, WI. However, the friendly and fun service, clean and environmental atmosphere is all there. The crust style has nothing to do with Chicago style of any kind and that's a very good thing. The crust is somewhat NY style. The mac and cheese pizza for some reason was not as good as I remember from up in Madison and it was burnt on the bottom. I am eating a reheated slice of mac the day after as I write, and it is just as simple as it was yesterday when I ordered. Ian's pizza is a little too pricey for what it is. I'm not too crazy about the hours. I sometimes want pizza for lunch. I also don't care for the no delivery on game days and the tiny delivery area. I could walk to Ian's in 20 minutes. I understand they are a small business and Wrigleyville is a zoo half the time but, come on guys, either deliver like everybody that does or not at all. We need a Mellow Mushroom Pizza in Chicago. They have the best overall pizza in the country and nothing in Chicago comes close! Of course, it will be very controversial being that it's not a style of pizza and it's from the Southeast, particularly Atlanta, GA. Ian's is ok for late night.

Niki G.

Love, love, love the vegan pizza here! Gooey soy cheese topped with a variety of mock meats! Ahh, to die for! I don't think any pizzeria in Chicago can compare to these babies. Did I mention I love Ian's vegan pizzas??! However, my only complaints -- expensive (then again, what place in Wrigleyville isn't?), hard to park (oh well, take the bus or the el!), and loud like no other inside (they have tv's, radios, and it's always crowded). So consider those things before you hop over, though all in all, it's amazing. Plus, their "pizza sluts" shirts are pretty amusing! ;) As a quick side note, my dining buddy (non-vegan obviously) had the s'mores pizza and while it looked disgusting, he claimed it was great! He also has the macaroni pizza, which he said was 'okay.'
(4)
Wesley R.

Come for the Mac n Cheese pizza...stay for a slice of S'mores... We popped in here for a late dinner, and it was everything that I thought a Mac n Cheese pizza would be! All the deliciousness of mac and cheese, sitting on top of a slightly thicker than thin slice of pizza dough. I also got to try portions of the Spinach Feta Pesto pizza and the Philly Cheese Steak pizza. Each flavor combination had the right amount of flavor without overpowering your taste buds. Many different ways to get here both private and public transportation-wise (Clark/Addison buses, Red Line). Use your best judgment when the Cubs are in town though.

Gloria E.

A friend of a friend dragged a group of us to this pizza joint after a night of debauchery, and when I got in, I was ready for some of everything EXCEPT the mac and cheese pizza. That one looked the least appetizing, but he promised us it was the way to go for our munchies. We took it to his place, where he pulled out some BBQ sauce, and at first it was weird, but then it was addicting. I actually really love this pizza now, but I need to go back and try the other ones still. The pizzas all looked super-amazing. Everything about the one we got was to my liking, so I look forward to trying their other more regular pizzas. Seriously though, I'm basically here to tell you that if you have the munchies or are pretty sloshed, the mac and cheese pizza is a must!

Day One and Two of my pre-detox "thinking about doing a food detox" early stages have found me in the cuisine company of some of the best worst shit imaginable, with an eye toward "Well...I guess I won't be eating this for a while..." Even Hostess cupcakes and similar shit readily available from gas stations have been involved. Exhibit A: My dinner last night - macaroni and cheese pizza. It's pretty much just globs of mac and cheese spread thickly all over some pizza crust and it is crazy and it is delicious. Utter cheesy carby satisfaction. I also had some of some kind of bacon chicken ranch pizza and a Philly Cheesesteak one that I'm still kind of mad at for giving me heartburn. The mac n cheese was the clear winner. The pizzas are beautiful, gorgeous works of art in a rainbow of colors and flavors are almost limited to anything you can find in a grocery store - a variety of pastas or even french fries can be slopped on there, they make a chocolate one and there are enough veggies and sauces (including creme fraiche and a Greek olive puree - oh shit), that should make anybody happy. People were really friendly, place was really cute and prices were more than decent, especially considering the place is almost literally in the shadow of Wrigley Field - Which really does beg the question: Philly Cheesesteak pizza? Yes. Italian beef pizza (which would clearly be way better according to 3 out of 4 professional eaters)? No.... What? Huh? Whatever. At least that omission will make avoiding this place that much easier. Actually, that was a lie and I wish I'd never met goddamed Ian or his open from 5 pm till "bartime" hours.

Stella J.

If you have not experienced the carbtastic joys of macaroni and cheese pizza, than you should really make time in your life for Ian's. I did not expect to enjoy it, thought it a novelty flavor, but it totally rocked. It was not the goopy mess I expected, bur rather a thin crust pizza with a generous sprinkling of mac & cheese. Why haven't you tried this yet?
(4)
Meagan S.

No one makes a better Mac and Cheese Pizza!!!! My mouth is watering just thinking of it.... I have ventured to the Ian's pizza located in Madison about a dozen times over the last 6 years and was thrilled to hear that it had come to Chicago. You can order pizza by the slice at Ian's or just order a whole pizza of your choice (they have a large list of ingredients to pick from). My favorites include the Mac and Cheese, Steak and Fries, and the Chicken Parmesan. For those of you with a sweet tooth, Ian's just started making a delicious smores pizza...I would recommend this if you are hungry for a second piece of pizza. Everyone must try (even if you are are boring and only like cheese, pepperoni, or sausage)!

Karen Anne B.

I checked this place out with a group of friends in search of the famed Mac N Cheese pizza. We tried a couple other types too as well as their salads and they were all pretty tasty. You can get a whole pie or buy by the slice. The place itself is a little plain and loud though. It's BYO and we hung out for a bit with our pies and some beers. Also a useful stop after visiting one (or several) of the area bars. : )
(4)
Justin R.

Order, eat, repeat until you've had as many kinds as you can stomach. They're all awesome. My wife raved about the green bean casserole. The Mac and cheese is as good as advertised and don miss the chicken and penne pasta. None of them will disappoint.

Michael W.

I had reservations about going into Ian's. As a huge fan of "High Fidelity" - the movie - naturally I have an aversion to ponytail having, pathetic rebound, patchouli-stink pricks who take up with other people's girlfriends. That guy deserves to be cracked in the head with an air conditioning unit for messing with John Cusack. Wait. That's not the same Ian. Oh? Well, then I feel much better about devouring several different styles of delicious pizza including Mac and Cheese, Philly Cheese Steak and Penne Pasta. Even the ones without cool names tasted hot. Great service behind the counter. Yeah, this place is OK despite the fact that I'm a Sox fan and this is a crazy Cubs pizza joint in the distant shadow of Wrigley Field. Yeah, I can ignore that for a great pizza. Besides, it's the off-season. And I get really hungry.

Chan K.

I came here late night after hitting the bars in Wrigley. All I wanted was a basic cheese pizza slice and was pleasantly surprised by the cornucopia of pizza options. I had the barbecue chicken pizza, with chicken, onions and mildly sweet bbq sauce. The slice is put in the oven, and within a few minutes you have a hot, crispy late night meal. The veggie pizza with it's wide assortment of veggies and the spinach goat cheese pizza also looked appealing. The mac and cheese pizza was very popular among the mostly drunk patrons, but I prefer my mac 'n cheese in a bowl.

Sophie F.

Thank goodness for this place and their vegan pizza!!! I wish they would deliver late night (stops around midnight or so) but the vegan pizza is awesome and they have a LOT of different toppings you can choose from - all sorts of mock meats and veggies and fun things like french fries and pasta. While they aren't my all time favorite vegan pizza place (Karyn's Cooked + Green beats this), I love their location and the fact that you can even find vegan pizza in Wrigleyville!!! So Check it out!!

Kate G.

I first had Ians when I visited my older brother at University of Madison. He took me there and I fell in love with their mac n cheese pizza. I got so excited when they opened one in Wrigleyville! I just moved to an apartment about a block away and everytime a friend comes to visit I take them to Ians. I love how everytime I go there is something different. I try and get something new every time but it's so hard resisting that damn mac n cheese pizza. A Useful Tip: If you go with a few people, everyone order a different slice and then just pass them around and try them all. My friends and I did this the other day and it was awesome. If it's available, get the slice with the italian sausage and noodles on it. Delicious!

I don't really like eating out at chains (self proclaimed restaurant snob...but in a good way, I like to think). I just think it's such an adventure to try new places--especially while traveling--that you can't find anywhere else. That, amongst other reasons, is why I try to stick to non-chain spots, especially while on the road or in a new place. Ian's pizza was pretty hopping after the Cubs v. Phillies game at Wrigley Field. Located in Wrigleyville, the writing on the walls at Ian's boasts a friendly atmosphere--encouraging patrons to be nice or leave. You order at the counter--a line which wrapped around nearly the whole restaurant. They had some pretty sweet looking pizzas (however, only one vegetarian variety was available when I was up to order which kind of sucked, but I got it--feta tomato pizza--and it was good). Just after I ordered, a macaroni and cheese pizza was up on the counter so we ordered a slice of that too. It definitely had a nice novelty to it. I specifically checked the take-away menu for a list of other locations. I want to see if this reasonable post-game hang out was unique to Wrigleyville or present other places as well. No other locations were listed and judging by the large one panel comic interpretations of "Ian's World" up on the wall--all including references to the Cubs/Wrigley Field--I figured that this must be a one-of-a-kind Wrigleyville place. The pizza wasn't amazing, but it was good and there were lots of sauces that you could add to top it. It also seems you can BYOB (a group at a table had brought in some 12 packs). It was definitely a cool place to go after the game as it was swarming with fans. It isn't unique to Wrigleyville--there's at least one other location in Madison, Wisconsin. Oh well, that fact doesn't completely burst my Ian's Pizza bubble. It was a good place to go after the game, as I said, filled with fans, and a solid place to tell someone to meet you after the game before hitting the bar scene. PS There's only three of them, so it isn't really a chain monster coming to eat you (and your pizza!)

Mac and cheese good Pizza really good mac and cheese pizza... oh my... let me catch my breath!! Ian's was thee perfect place to go after the holiday bash... If you are a queso lover like me this is heaven! there were only a few slices of the mac and cheese 'za so get there early!

Philip B.

My favorite thing about Ian's is how I never know exactly what's going to be served when I go in. Is it going to be mac & cheese? Or steak and fries? Or barbecue chicken? I never know. And the beauty of Ian's is that I know they are all going to be delicious. I love going here when Cubs games are not going, because it's very laid back and good. But even if you're looking for something right before or after a game, I would recommend it, if for no other reason than the novelty of eating some type of pizza that you have never had before.

FINAL UPDATE: My friend and I ordered from Dimo's again last night with our credit. This time we got the Alfredo Penne Pasta Pizza. It was MUCH better than our previous experience. We really enjoyed the unique flavor experience. This time the crust was much softer. It definitely must have been burnt/overcooked last time. What truly shines to me is their customer service. They were extremely friendly and apologetic about the whole situation. And even after reimbursing us for our original purchase, and giving us a credit, they gave us another two coupons for a free slice. They truly care about their customers, and that goes a long way with me. I will definitely be ordering from them again. Thank you, Dimo's! UPDATE: Dimo's actually contacted me via yelp to apologize for the bad pizza. They reimbursed us, and offered to give us another order on the house if we'd like to try them again. I am shocked and extremely pleased at the amazing customer service. So I added a star for that. I will update my review again once we re-try their pizza. Thank you, Dimo's! A group of my friends and I just ordered two huge pizzas from here, and there is literally almost a whole pizza left. We each had a piece and couldn't even finish it. The crust honestly tastes like cardboard, and there is barely any cheese or sauce on it. I've included a photo of our leftovers that no one will touch. I am not a picky eater at all, and generally love any pizza, but this is AWFUL. It must be an off night considering this place has a 4 star review. But wow, just terrible. A total waste of money and everyone is still hungry.

It's like being a kid in a candy store except the candy is pizza -- lots of glorious, glorious pizza. I'd had Ian's at various functions many times, but I hadn't had the opportunity to go to the storefront. It's a bit intimidating. You walk in. There's a bunch of people milling about. There are a bunch of folks working behind the counter. There are a LOT of pizzas sitting atop the counter. There's no menu. If you can't discern what's what, you have to ask someone behind the counter about each and every one of the pizzas. I can't imagine that's fun for either the employee or the customer. I know pizzas change and spontaneity is a virtue of the business model. But, after the fourth or so, "Wait. What was that? Repeat, please.," I bet a menu board with descriptions starts to sound really good. So, awkwardness of the ordering process out of the way, where else in the city can you get a large slice of buffalo chicken and black bean (I may be making that up) pizza at 2 in the morning? Ian's fills a large hole in the city and I'm glad it exists. The flavors are unusual and even when it doesn't work well (just say 'no' to lasagna pizza), I appreciate the innovation and risk-taking. It's pretty easy to get overwhelmed by all the available choices, so I'd recommend coming in with an idea of the flavor profile you'd most want to try and a variation off a standard choice. This way, you'll be sure to get something you like (a pepperoni variant, for example) and you'll know when to stop when the menu recitation gets to be too long. A plan, people. Always have a plan. Even for pizza. I think that's the Boy Scout motto.

Dimo's is awesome. I'm the kind of person that appreciates variety/trying new flavors. If you're looking for something unexpected (figs! avocados! pasta! seitan!) on a pizza, Dimo's is the place. The staff are also incredibly friendly and fun. I went there last night (my 3rd visit) and ordered two slices from a girl who kept referring to me as "babydoll" which I enjoyed and found amusing. I went to pay and realized I had forgotten my wallet. I went bright red and was very embarrassed but the girl ringing me up told me "not to worry" and gave me my pizza free of charge! I thought that was so generous and wonderful because I was already terribly hungry. The only thing I wish Dimo's did was make labels for the type of pizzas they have. I know they change them frequently, but as a short person, it's incredibly difficult for me to hear them behind the glass and communicate what I want to them. And it's usually very busy and loud in there which makes it more difficult when ordering. Other than that, Dimo's rules. Go eat fun pizza, don't be boring.

I forsook pizza after being vegan. I heard about pizza in Chicago and I didn't feel the need to try any of it out, the cheese factor alone was unappealing to me. (When we order Papa John's we order the pizza without cheese) So one night my wife suggested two choices: Either we try Dimo's Pizza or an vegan Indian restaurant. I suggested Dimo's, just out of curiosity and to see what the vegan pizza would be like. My wife was not really thrilled about trying pizza for a meal, nevertheless we went and checked out the menu. I was impressed with the many choices on their menu for vegan pizzas. In fact, there were too many choices to choose from, we had a good dilemma. The cashier helped us out and we ordered one pizza with two different choices on each half: vegan BBQ chicken and the Naked 3Veg. (We also wanted to try the Chorizo Taco, Lasagna Marinara and the Spicy Chicken Taco) but next time...oh I can't wait for next time. The taste was fantastic and the price was amazing! More of a better deal that Papa John's or other commercial pizza places! We wanted to order more, even sample the others by slices, but that was only possible on Tuesdays and we were there Saturday night. This has been an awesome experience and we really want to come again to try the rest of what Dimo's has to offer. Oh and by the way, my wife who was uncertain about our choice to come here, she was totally lovin' it that every time I mention Dimo's she drools and is determined to go again without hesitation. Pizza is back in our lives thanks to Dimo's!

As I'm sure everyone has previously posted, they have some weird pizza here. All different kinds of toppings and flavors which is cool. However, the only reason I would really come here is if I'm drunk and I have the munchies. The pizza itself is not really good. It's more like the novelty of having those crazy toppings that creates the illusion that it's really good pizza. Come here if you really want to check out their toppings but otherwise it's just any other pizza shop. Try once but that's it.

Gotta love Dimo's, especially late night. Check out this Wrigleyville staple after the bar, or bring your own beers and hang out in the dining room with the cool and friendly staff. You'll find a lot of specialty slices here, and the classic pepperoni slice is one of the best around Lakeview.

I thought I wrote an update on this a while ago, but it looks to have never posted! I retract my first post about Dimo's as once they found out they didn't deliver pizza up to their company's standards, they IMMEDIATELY reached out to me to offer the opportunity to make up for it. The owner was nice as can be and apologized for any in-convenience and that meant a lot. I'm all about good customer service as I work in the hospitality industry, and just having an apology sent was more than enough! But then the pizza was replaced and it was the delicious Dimo's pizza that I had been looking for the first time :) I waited until other friends were in town to redeem the "make up" pizza, and was SO happy that they got to experience the infamous pizza the way it was intended to be. All in all, I really appreciate how quickly Dimo's was to make any possible bad experience better; they delivered both great customer service and great pizza this time around and that has completely erased any negative image I may have had from a bad experience. THANK YOU DIMO'S and keep up up the good work :)

NEW FAVORITE! Pumpkin, marshmallow pizza... are you kidding me 4 types of vegan pizza on top of a vegan brownie... I'm splurging forgive me, but wow this place is a knock-out. Throw in a really cool culture and friendly staff, and this place is my new haunt. I personally preferred over my other favorite Wrigleyville pizza joint, Pie Hole, since it's more vegan friendly.

dont advertise vegan slices if you dont have them. kidding me?? its a busy Saturday afternoon pub crawl and not a vegan slice to be found. only if I (one person) ordered a whole pizza. or a brownie. no thanks.

Jessica J.

I guess if your a stoner this place would be awesome.. but just my opinion I thought the pizza was gross. And I'm not a picky eater. I didn't enjoy the pizza I had there at all.. But I like the more traditional pizza. so maybe its just me.

Absolutely delicious. They have something for everyone. Plus can't go wrong with BYOB

Dimo's technically does deliver but you're much better served stopping in and picking up two or three different slices of fresh out of the oven pizza in person. There is a noticeable drop off in quality when the slices you order have been sitting around for a while so try to order whatever just came out and you'll be satisfied. Dimo's has an awesome array of creative pizzas and they're constantly coming up with new ideas. The only problem is that you never know what they are going to have on hand when you arrive and you're limited to whatever they decided to make. If you see a line out the door at 2 am, don't worry, it moves fast. Favorites: The BBQ Chicken, Spinach Feta Pesto, Spicy Chicken Taco

I created an account just to rate this place. Do NOT ORDER FROM HERE. We ordered 3 slices of pizza on a Monday night ,from less than a mile away, you would think it would be speedy delivery; well you would be wrong. It took 2 hours for it to get here and when it did it was the wrong order and ice cold. They were completely unapologetic and unprofessional. There are much better pizza establishments in the area with better customer service. take your business elsewhere.

Colleen A.

Ian's has gone down hill since it changed to Dimo's, which is weird because it looks like the exact same place with the same employees. I've been about 4 times and have been less impressed with each visit. My most recent visit could be my last and I wouldn't really mind. The employees act like they're doing you a favor by telling you what kinds of pizza are out. This is a totally avoidable issue if they would just put a label in the case in front of the pizza. They serve a rotating selection, but it's the same ones (just a different order from what I can tell), so just make a label and laminate it and put it in front of the pizza. Done and done. The pizza itself is good, and I like their veggie and vegan options. It could use some tv's and more than one can of cheese. Seriously, label your pizzas.
(3)
Celeste M.

Awesome pizza! Seriously every time I go there I am not disappointed. The service is always friendly and considering the Wrigleyville drunks they have to endure, it's surprising. I've ordered it for pick up. The wait time was about 45 minutes, which was kind of a bummer BUT the pizza is always worth the wait. I will ALWAYS go to Dimo's!

David F.

Gimmicky as all hell and they know it. Go into Dimo's with a sense of humor and a sense of adventure. All kinds of funky pizzas that have been detailed in the other reviews. I will speak to the veggie options only. Although they have some amaaaazing sounding 'zas for vegetarians on the menu, the selection of by the slice pies is limited. Most slices are filled with carne. Thankfully they had the mac and cheese, but the portabella also sounded good. The crust is crispy and buttery on my mac and cheese, but burnt and dried up on the portabella. Odd because they came out of the same oven on the same plate. Maybe work on some better consistency in that department guys. Flavors overall are great, the mac and cheese can be a little bland, so it's worth grabbing some hot sauce. Prices are totally fair for what your getting and the atmosphere is casual and cool.

I've never step foot inside of this place. I have always done delivery via Grub Hub. That alone, gets props from me. I like easy online ordering. I first had their pizza around November of 2012. The girl I was seeing lived in their delivery zone, and they had good reviews on here. Fast forward to now, I live with said girl in a diff place, and I'm thrilled that we moved to within their delivery zone!!! This is our compromise place. She likes to get more veggie/adventurous orientated pizzas where as I prefer meat pizzas with a side of meat-the adventure for me lies in what kind of meat and whether or not it has barbecue sauce. Compromise as in, we always find something that sounds good to BOTH of us, not in quality. The basic elements are a somewhat chewey hand tossed style crust topped in creative/adventurous ways. I've yet to order a pepperoni or sausage pizza from this place. I'm gradually working my way through the meat heavy pizzas when my girlfriend isn't here, and we're working through the rest of them together. I've had most of their BBQ and Comfort Cravings Pizzas, as well as their S"Mores Pizza and most of the taco/nacho ones. I don't plan on sampling the Vegan options, but they have them!! Some notable standouts are: BBQ Steak & Fries-it sounds weird, but it is very good, Chicken & Waffles Pizza (w/maple syrup!!)-even weirder, but still awesome. I get that one when I'm craving something sorta sweet without going off the deep end into their S'Mores Pizza. That delicious, gluttonous, diabetic coma inducing goodness on a pizza crust. The first time I had it, I kept thinking that I wish they were around in my stoner days of the past. I rarely order it now though. It is something so sweet and rich that I don't think I could handle it more than twice a year, not out of lack of desire, but out of fear for developing adult onset diabetes. Delivery times run about what they quote. It is typically an hour. Yeah, it is on the long side, but they are worth it. I've received a sorta cold pizza once out of all the times that we have ordered from them. That is a pretty awesome rate. I think we've had it at least 20 times in the last year. It is Chicago, when you order delivery in winter, you have to take into account what the food goes through on the way to you. The people are always nice, even though I have rarely interacted with them. I've talked to them on the phone when there was an issue with my order (e.g. they ran out of a given item, issue with my card, etc).

Osiris V.

Meh Definetly not what I was expecting. Three of us got different toppings and honestly it was nothing to write home about. I felt rushed choosing something, I don't know why they don't put signs up of what the pizza is. So after some eye rolling action from the guy behind the counter I ordered the tomato pesto pizza. I must say that the crust was pretty crispy and delicious, but the rest, nah. I would like to try the BBQ Chicken and Mac & Cheese so we'll see. After a Cubs game I might stop in again just because it's a spot down there with slices of pizza but otherwise I wouldn't make the trip out to Wrigley for this.

T B.

The crust was a bit dry but it was finished with excellent toppings and sauce. Definitely go try this place.

Michael G.

If a place is going to market unique pizza creations, I would hope they could accomplish one thing above all. That is that the pizzas actually taste like the special topping. Just, you know, for example if you create a macaroni and cheese pizza, it might actually taste like macaroni and cheese. Call me old fashioned, but that seems elementary. Ian's didn't seem to have this simple formula down when I tried it. Their macaroni and cheese pizza appears to have the good stuff on top of it, but one bite reveals that it's imposter mac! It's the kind of macaroni that comes not even in a Kraft box, but in a Kraft single serving stir and eat. And even then it's the kind that occurs when too much water and it becomes a sticky mess. If you can't picture that, you're probably a good cook. But, rest assured, it's a horror show. They could cover the tasteless, mushy mess up with high quality cheddar cheese, but they lack even that dignity saving measure. Their lasagna pizza came up a little better because the thin layers actually hold up (though the top was burned). But the tomato sauce just isn't there on this one either. The rest of the creations seemed equally unique, but I'm not sure if the results were any better. If they were just mad scientist chefs experimenting with cheap pizza slices, their food gone wrong would be excusable. But they're charging almost $4.00 for a small slice. So the experiment might as well be a psychological study in disappointment rather than in pizza. And I am definitely a case study in this waiting almost a year to try it. About the only thing that saved my time here from being a rock bottom experience was that they were playing some skacore overhead. And no place that does that can be truly abominable.

Amanda B.

Ugh I really wanted to like this place. I'd read reviews on here a few years ago and it sounded good. On a late night - not drunk - my friend's and I were hungry and I saw that we were in the area for Ian's. The pizza looked really good, especially the BBQ chicken pineapple, and tortellini slices (Even the macaroni and cheese), but I decided to be a little healthy and went for the spinach and feta veggie slice. Nearly $4 or $5 later, I sat down with my friends next to a guy in a panda suit. Ok? Anyway, I'm sad to say the pizza wasn't anything to rave about. Maybe it's because we came late? Oh wait...Ian's kind of is a late-night-go-to. It wasn't exactly hot. I'd give Ian's another try for sure, but if I had my choice, I'd rather get Piece.

Colleen C.

OMG, mac 'n cheese pizza!? OMG, BBQ chicken pineapple pizza!? Well, yeah...but I like, wouldn't know. Since, I called for delivery 5 times over the course of 3 hours tonight, and I got the answering machine all 5 times. I DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE A MESSAGE IAN, I want pizza. At my house. :( It says they deliver, I'll believe it when I can get someone on the phone. SIGH.

My fiance & I order from Dimos a lot & really like their pizza. Last time we ordered from them our pizza came a bit late so the delivery guy gave us coupons for two free slices of pizza & yesterday we decided we would go to the actual store for the first time. This review is only for that experience which in my opinion was awful. When we first came in we were greeted by a nice guy who seemed to be the only one on top of things in there, ordered our slices & were told that they'd have to make a few pizzas but it'd be ready in about 10 minutes & they'd let us know. We waited for a while, only to find out that we have been forgotten about due to a group of girls who had entered. My fiance went up there to find out what had happened to our food only to be ignored when he was trying to pay. He had to literally ask someone if he could pay for his food & then a couple minutes later ask again for the coke he ordered because the guys were too concerned with talking to the girls to give him any attention. It was annoying & took way too long, especially for a Monday night & for two slices of pizza. Definitely won't be coming back in to the restaurant anymore. The pizza was good though.

Their vegan pizzas are THE BOMB. I mean, they are the literal, taste sensation exploding in your mouth BOMB. I have tried ever flavor, my fave is the lasagna and the bbq unchicken. And the customer service rocks, even on a super crowded night they are just the coolest people on earth. One time they had ran out of lasagna noodles and made it for me with macaroni noodles instead. Yum! This place in the city as far as pizza is concerned. It's a "must try" for anyone looking for something special.

Danny M.

Now that its baseball season in Chicago, its time to keep the Ian's tradition strong. You are doing yourself a favor if you get the Chicago Hot Dog or Guacamole Burrito pizza. Philly cheese steak is a close runner up. You can't go too wrong and the staff is awesome and can help you out. Call in advance if you want your pizza to be waiting for you! You can always spot the tourists - they order mac and cheese. Thanks Ians and crew for all that you do! If I ever leave Chicago, I know it will be a tearful goodbye with Ian.

Roxanne A.

Ah, a flavor adventurer's delight. Awesomely odd pizza by the slice. Macaroni and Cheese pizza, Chicken and Waffles pizza, Mushroom Florentine Pizza. It is the the unusual pizza flavors that reign supreme here. They do have some normal pizzas available, but you could probably get better versions elsewhere. Their specialty is the pizza flavors that you dream about. Hmmm....I want nachos and a pizza. Well, they have nacho pizza. A word of warning, though. You are subject to their flavor whim as to which pizza slices are available when you come in. If you're not sure what something is, they are happy to help you. If you want a specific flavor pizza slice for a craving that just won't quit, I would call ahead and check. They also do vegan pizza, but I again would call ahead just to check if it's available by the slice. They do have a a frequent pizza eater card and I apologize now for the macaroni and cheese pizza dreams/cravings that are yet to come.

I have come to realize the Mid West doesn't know what good pizza really is. I have tried many pizza shops and it's very very hard to find high quality pizza. Thought I would try this place since I read it was similar to NYC type pizza (which is based off of pizza from Naples Italy). No. It's not. I would categorize this type of pizza as American pizza. It is similar in texture to the fast food chains like Papa John's and Sarpino's. I would say it is a grade above the fast food pizza but not like the high quality Naples style pizza from the wood fired brick ovens. It reminds me of Papa Ray's pizza which has a couple shops in Chicago. It is heavy and will leave you feeling very stuffed whereas Naples style is very light and fresh with distinct flavorful ingredients like basil. You can eat half the pie and not feel heavy or like you just clogged your arteries. Service...well I ordered delivery and after 70 minutes I called to ask where was my pizza. They said another 30. I didn't believe it so I took a $20 cab ride round trip to get it. I had to wait another 10 minutes while I was there. There was a game on so the place was busy. The staff was very friendly and gave me free slice coupons for my trouble. They were very busy and I can relate. I just wish they told me it was going to be a 2 hour wait so I would have ordered on a day that was less busy. Taking a cab to pick up a pizza is expensive. The whole ordeal cost me $50 I ordered their large pie and it was huge. The taste was ok. But not what I was expecting. If you want something similar to Papa John's or Papa Ray's but a step above, then Dimo's is great. If you want NYC style pizza then this is not it.

Andrew W.

I love the whole concept of turning one type of food into another, and anything into pizza is definitely near the top of that category. The first time I had something like Dimo's was at Mesa Pizza in Iowa City; for those of you familiar with Mesa, Dimo's doesn't compare, but it's still decent pizza, especially if you're drunk. The crusts are very thin (almost too thin for how much topping and cheese there is. The slices are kinda floppy), but what's on top of them gets pretty creative.
(3)
Jason M.

Yes, you are in Chicago. But no, you don't have to get deep dish. There are normal pizzas out there, I know it's hard to believe. Tip: don't settle for the ready-made pizzas at Ian's. WAIT the few extra minutes to get one fresh from the oven -- the snow that you plowed through to get there, the creep on the bus who touched your thigh and smiled, and the old lady you shoved out of the way -- it's all worth it if you get a fresh pizza from Ian's.

Mary S.

Wow, what a great pizza place. We stopped in after a cubs game and got 3 slices to share among the two of us. We got Chicken Parmesan, BBQ Chicken and the daily special which was some sort of everything-but-the-kitchen-sink type pizza. They were all excellent. The BBQ was my favorite, and might rank among the best pizza I've ever had. Friendly staff, happy to answer questions to two silly tourist types. It's a little small in there with only a handful of tables, so if it's crowded you might be out of luck for a spot to sit with your amazing pizza, although I would eat it hanging upside down in the street or lying on train tracks without any complaint.

PIZZA IN THE MORNING!!! PIZZA IN THE EVENING, PIZZA @ SUPPER TIME...WHEN PIZZA'S ON A BAGEL YOU CAN EAT PIZZA ANYTIME!!!!!! Well Ian's Pizza doesn't come on a bagel but they are open til the wee hours of the morning so could pretty much have their pizza anytime!!! Ian's has turned me into a "PIZZA SLUT." They offer a wide variety of fun toppings get em by the slice or order a whole pie! LOVE LOVE LOVE: *MAC N CHEESE PIZZA *LASAGNA PIZZA *PENNE ALFREDO PIZZA (yea i gotta thing for the pasta pizzas) *BREAKFAST PIZZA (like a breakfast burrito on a slice of pizza) *SMORES PIZZA....ooey gooey pieces of melted marshmallows drizzled with chocolate sauce & topped with ghram cracker crumbs NOM NOM NOM I'm not a huge fan of Chicago Deep Dish pizza (don't hate me Chicagoans) but I do love taking my friends from LA here when they visit b/c Ian's is definitely a must if you're in the Lakeview area. Ooh & they have a punch card too..so buy 10 slices get one free...HOLLER.

Tiffany K.

Before going to see Improv Shakespeare with friends, I got two slices here - the s'mores pizza and the chicken alfredo. The alfredo pizza was insane - penne pasta, white alfredo sauce, cheese, chicken, and more cheese. It was filling, and very flavorful. The s'mores pizza... OhmyGOD the s'mores pizza.... Cheese, chocolate sauce, marshmallows, graham cracker, chocolate chunks. It was by far the weirdest and most delicious pizza EVER. If you are having doubts, just go with it. It's an unforgettable flavor combination that I just can't stop thinking about. One of my friends ordered the California roll pizza, and it was strange (wasabi, crab, etc) but also interestingly good at the same time. I get that this place isn't for everyone, though - I am sure a lot of people just want to stick with their usual pepperoni or whatever. I hear the Mac & Cheese pizza is good, too. Slices are way affordable. I think my two slices were less than $8 total. Come here with friends and sample their slices!

Patrick W.

I feel like t's taken a few steps backward since changing from Ian's. the last two times I ordered, the wait time was extended by 45 minutes *after*I'd placed my order on Grubhub. When it was Ian's, I could get a pizza delivered on a Saturday night in under 30 minutes. With Dimo's, it takes an hour and a half on a Thursday at 8:30 (with no major sporting events going on). I enjoy the pizza but it's just not worth the wait and I'm not close enough to pick it up. I regret not just walking to Michael's as I usually do for what in my opinion is better pizza at less cost in half the time. I hate writing bad reviews but I'm hoping this will remind me that I've officially learned my lesson.

N P.

Oh my god. Been meaning to check out this place for a while, and finally got around to it last week. A friend and I went and ordered the Vegan version of the Steak and Fries Pizza. It was totally delicious, and between us we finished a 12 inch pizza, AND it didn't feel heavy in my stomach afterwards (probably not hers either but I neglected to ask). We decided then that we were going to make this a weekly ritual. Yum yum! One thing to note- vegan pizzas are only available by the slice on Thursdays, every other day you have to order a whole pie, but trust me, you will probably want to order an entire pie unless you just ate beforehand!!!
(4)
Thomas T.

You want crazy pizza? Come to Ian's then. It's a place where they throw a bunch of crap onto a pizza that sounds good but no one will probably ever try. Marshmallows on pizza? Fries on pizza? I'd have to be blacked out drunk to order those. Though most of the time I come here I have been drinking. Their pizza is alright. Nothing special. My last trip there I got the buffalo chicken and the chicken marinara. Buffalo chicken was alright though the amount of chicken compared to the size of the pizza i feel wasn't sufficient enough. The chicken marinara was probably the same deal. Who know's how fresh the pizza is since they have it hiding under the display, but at least when it comes out to you, it's hot. So that's a plus. Coming at night? Be prepared to wait a while since it seems like this is the place to be once the bars let out. They probably are making bank since a slice is like $3.75. I'd suggest throwing in an extra 1.25 and getting one of the 5 dollar deals that they have at some bigger chains if you're not the adventurous type.

Katrina F.

3rd time is a charm, right?! I was emotionally disturbed when Dimo's took over Ian's. The transition left for so-so pizza....WELL NOT ANY MORE!! I am ecstatic to say, Dimo's is WAY better than what Ian's used to be. The ingredients taste more fresh, the pizza crust is back to it's chewy,yet crusty self and the latest, newest flavors are AMAZEBALLS!!! Run, do not walk and get a slice of the Cali this week!!! Goat cheese, avocado, tomato, ground meat (I think it was beef) with micro greens on the top. It was the best slice I have EVER eaten!! My name is Katrina and I have a Dimo's habit. I order 4 slices when I've been drinking, eat 1-2 at night and the rest for breakfast in the morning. I eat it sober. I eat it for lunch. I am an addict.

Fun little place! Would rather have signage telling customers today's creations, rather than an employee breezing thru the 15 different types available... ...and just a slice of cheese please!..

Diana R.

Pizza slut. I've been here sober and have tried a few different toppings on pizza. I usually go with veggier options, have had a breakfast pizza, etc. All very tasty and a fun switch-up from your regular pepperoni thin crust. But I have to say the mac 'n' cheese takes the prize for most delectable specialty slice. Although I am not a fan of macaroni and cheese in its traditional form, I love the slice Dimo's serves up. Sober or not, it's a little slice of heaven to calm your stomach and your senses. The staff is incredibly friendly, even to the late-night drunkards of Wrigleyville, and is always willing and able to answer questions about the different types of pizzas/toppings/etc. Lines can be long when it gets late on weekends, but the lines move quickly and the pizza is worth it.
(5)
Christine S.

My review for Ian's has disappeared... so here I go again. I love Ian's. I've never eaten it sober, but I possibly would... Bold statement, I know! Pesto tortellini, marinara tortellini, mac & cheese, Greek (i think), BBFAT are some that i've tried (there's probably more on the list). They are all great and when you're drinking, you seriously can't find a better place to eat then Ian's... Long lines, inexpensive, fast, friendly staff, clean place, great people watching... what more could you ask for? :) This place proves you can put just about anything on a pizza.

Tom D.

This place makes some of the most innovative slices of pizza combinations. I am stuck on the chicken and waffle pizza, though. The staff are all friends and enjoy their job. This place could have a reality-tv show.
(5)
Ria F.

This place is good because it's open late of course for the hungry people coming out of the bars. But the Mac and Cheese pizza wasn't great, I expected better. It was dry. Their quesadilla pizza had buffalo chicken in it which didn't make sense to us bc we're from San Diego. Some of my coworkers enjoyed another type of pizza and the BBQ chicken pizza wasn't bad.
(3)
Christie L.

Maybe if we didn't travel from the other side of the city just for this pizza I would have been more 'wow-ed.' One of our friends had randomly found this place in her travels and insisted we go back. They have a crazy amount of random pizza flavors. I ordered a veggie pizza and bbq chicken pizza. Both were really good, but nothing I would have to go out of my way for. The other four in the group agreed.

Pari P.

When leaving a bar or club after several rounds of drinks, my body always finds its way to food. To me, it's the icing on the cake and the best way to finish a night. Yes, it helps to prevent hangovers in the morning but to me, it's the fourth meal of the day that I have been looking forward to all night. I don't even remember what bar we were in but I found myself walking across the street to Ian's Eatery. I may have heard the cries from my friends saying, "Watch out for cars!" but that wasn't a concern since I saw a new pizzeria that I haven't tried before and continued to mindlessly walk. My friends know that there are few things in this world that come between me and food. I walked in and saw a wide variety of different pizzas with unique toppings; macaroni and cheese, rigatoni pasta, buffalo chicken, and etc. It clicked, Ian's Eatery specializes in specialty pizzas with not your ordinary toppings. I've had my share of creative pizzas from philly cheese steaks to Hawaiian BBQ but I was done with the gimmicks. I settled on a vegetable and goat cheese combination. After taking one bite, I nodded my head to my friends letting them know that I approved. The toppings were fresh and the crust was thin and chewy but still had the crisp from the hot oven. There was the right amount of sauce and cheese ratio for thin crust pizza. I was tempted to get another slice but my friends were already annoyed to sit and watch me eat the first one. Next time, I'll try one of the more creative pizzas. Yes, any food tastes good after drinking but Ian's Eatery offers something that actually tastes quite good. Ian's, see you again at 2:00am after my next outing in Wrigleyville.

This place is awesome! There are so many choices/options - you just want to try/eat them all. It's great tasting during the day, night, OR late night. You need to check it out - particularly if you want an interesting late night community to join for some celebrations of delicious pizza.

Awesome as usual! Check out the special of the month or any of the classics. Best pizza in Wrigley!

It's official; we're done! True to my word I gave Ian's a second shot. I even put my pizza goggles on by having a beer (or 4) this time. I got two more slices this time; mac and cheese and the crab rangoon special. Sadly, the verdict is the same - friendly staff, horribly bland pizza! In theory the mac and cheese pizza sounds great; I love pizza and I love mac and cheese, why not marry the two? What I didn't know was that it's possible to make flavorless mac and cheese, something Ian's seems to have excelled at. I took my first bite and thought it was a fluke that it tasted like nothing. A few more bites in I realized it wasn't a fluke; I attempted to inject some flavor into the slice, but my seasoning attempts were futile. It baffles me that people rave about this; again the only thing I found memorable (in a good way) was the crust. The crab rangoon slice was better in that it had flavor, too bad that flavor was limited to the sweet and sour soaked won ton strips on top. The description said there was crab on the pizza, but all I could taste was sweet and sour and the dense texture of the cream cheese; I got half-way through the slice and tossed it. Bottom line: I came. I ate. I was underwhelmed.

Impressed by the variety and original pizzas. Although the slices are sitting out all day so they aren't exactly fresh. But still yummy.

Ian's and I have a near weekly relationship (should I have admitted that...?) On Saturday night, there's only one man in my life, and it's Ian, baby. He knows how to tuck me in just right after a long Wrigley night. Everyone raves about the mac & cheese and yes, it's tasty. But nothing stands up to my all-time favorite Smoky & the Bandit. BBQ and ranch swirled together like they were meant to live happily on a bed of dough, chunks of chicken and bacon hanging out on a mountain of gooey cheese... ok excuse me, I seem to have dribbled a little on the keyboard... My boyfriend Ian puts out a specialty flavor every week and this week just sounds sinfully too good to be true- crab rangoon. Holla!

You can never go wrong at Ian's!!! Amazingly Unique and Delicious Pizza, Fast and Friendly Staff, and always worth the $3.75 a slice!

Dimo's Pizza (several locations) was an excellent neighborhood spot. I visited Chicago from Boston this Thanksgiving with another friend from LA and we all had a hilarious, delicious experience here. The pizzas are incredibly inventive, but while that sometimes spells disaster it truly was all delectable. The joint is incredibly casual and BYOB which I am absolutely not used to going to school in Boston and growing up in the Bay Area. We brought several six packs of Blue Moon, borrowed their Cards Against Humanity deck and stayed for a couple of hours devouring slice after slice and laughing like crazy. Before we headed home the people working behind the counter snapped a picture of us and our food and added it to their Twitter page, a funny aside that only added more charm to this awesome spot! I can't wait to go back next time I'm in Chicago. Cheap, delicious and incredibly fun, Dimo's is certainly a worthwhile visit.

Ian is my dirty mistress. I have never been in there before 3 am. I wander through the door whenever I have an itch that needs scratching (in other words, carbs are required before bed). And whatever I order is whatever my finger points to first. The fact that I was able to recall how much I enjoyed our dalliance (yummy pizza!) the following day speaks volumes. I'm not afraid to flaunt you, Ian. So please don't look at me with those sad eyes. One day, I will visit at a reasonable hour and prove my adoration for ya, baby!

Maria A.

My review is mixed. Going in to Dimo's, I'd give 4 stars. Absolutely delicious when it's piping hot and fresh. However, my husband and I ordered delivery the other night and by the time the pizza got here (over an hour for delivery), it was cold and kind of gross. I actually removed part of a piece because it did not look edible at all. A couple of the pieces we had were the consistency of cardboard. I was pretty disappointed, since my other experiences eating there were so good. We won't order delivery again, though.

This is easily my favorite pizza in Chicago. It is not Chicago style pizza. It is great pizza.

Amanda L.

its our go-to late night option. $5 for a slice and soda, its hard to beat. the slices are thin but huge. the toppings are crazy. i like the potato/ranch/bacon, chicken finger, and steak/french fry the best. they have some ready when you go and can make anything for you. so that's nice. sometimes they are a little dry if you reheat them, but still good.
(4)
Emily C.

I always try their weird and crazy slices, and I've never been disappointed. Mac n Cheese Pizza = mouth-watering. I also tried some other flavors - broccoli alfredo with noodles, something with tacos, and something bbq. But I always, always, order the Mac n Cheese Pizza.

I have been on Wriggleyville, past nine o'clock, on the weekends. The sort of men who go out and party in that area are frequently intolerable and I always dread having to leave my home for anything. If I'm out past nine in Wriggleyville, I march on with an acute sense of misanthropy. I am astounded that the Dimo's employees manage to still be polite and treat customers with such friendliness given the sheer amount of typical brofest douchebaggery they must encounter on a nightly basis. I have never had a bad experience at Dimo's. I have never had my order screwed up. I have never had to wait an unreasonable amount of time for my food. I have never once had a cashier be anything other than 100% pleasant. This is rare in any location but when you take into account these people work in Wriggleyville, it's astounding. I don't know how these people do it. They must be saints. Also, the food is awesome. Five stars!

Came to Chicago for a visit and instead of trying the so-called famous Chicago deep dish style pizza, I tried what all my friends ,who are locals to the Midwest, swear by, Ian's. Small little pizza shop with pies served by the slice. These are anything but your typical pepperoni and veggie slices of pizza. From mac n cheese, a staple menu item, to the various creations they baked that day, your taste buds are in for a delicious surprise. Located conveniently in Wrigleyville, perfect for after a game or a night out at one of the various bars. Pizza is like sex, even when bad it's good && Ian's is like triple orgasm sex.

Keith A.

What does one need after a long pub crawl, pizza, especially some ian's pizza. I stopped by here in need of slices and Ian's was the only sure for that. There was a bunch of different slices to choose from and I went with a pepperoni+sausage and bbq chicken. These were big NY style slices for folding and what's not to love about that? They're up the street from my friend's place, so return trips are completely necessary

Of course I'm going to give this place a high rating because it's my namesake. Just kidding. This place really is great like most are saying. It's small but not cramped and the tables are big enough for a nice amount of people. The music's loud but not blaring. The staff is nice but not fake. The pizza is of course the main attraction. It's big but not too overwhelming. On your first visit (or any visit for that matter), you must have a specialty slice. I'm sure the traditional toppings are delicious as well, but what's the point of coming here if you're just going to stick to the basics? Live a little! At Ian's, live a lot. This review is after my second visit. I ordered a slice of the classic mac & cheese and a slice of the special, the Oktoberfest (fried pork, egg noodles, and mushroom gravy). Note: two slices are just right for a meal. Both were great in their own ways and with all the other specialty slices, it's definitely an incentive to return again and again to try everything else. Don't forget to bring your favorite beer or wine, a plus that actually works and pairs nicely (though I'm speaking on behalf of the beer side).

Jackie L.

If I could give them half a star I would. This place is definitely one that you stop in to get a slice. I order a pizza for delivery and it took 2 hours to get! I called in the order was told 30-45 minutes, which is pretty standard, but when I called after an hour they said it would be another 15 minutes. I called again after it had been an hour and a half after calling it in, I was told the pizza was out for delivery. After 2 hours, I called and asked for a manager, The girl told me they are really busy and the delivery guy had car trouble, so due to me wait she will give me some coupons. COUPONS? My pizza should have been free. Once the delivery guy Finally showed up, I was actually very nice to him, and I asked him about his car. The guy had no idea what I was talking about! He said his car has been fine, no issues. The manager lied, I had to wait 2 hours for an average Za, and had to pay full price. Needless to say, I will be taking my pizza craving business to one of them billion other joints in the area.

I like variety and dayum, does Ian's have it. I am also a fan of thin crust pizzas and so I went with my brother to give them another shot (first time was with boyfriend). I must say the 2nd round was better, since this time I was more prepared and chose the right pizzas for me. Decided to give the mac and cheese a try, and honestly, it wasn't a big whoop. Yes I would love it if I was drunk, but I wasnt. It needed salt, and that made it way better. Better slices were the philly cheese steak and their special for the day- bowtie pasta with feta cheese, zuchini and green peppers. yum yum. we had read about the smore pizza and since we didnt see it there, we asked for it. they even made it for us from scratch! this was the best one yet... I know it sounds weird but trust me, its worth a try, you definitely wont be disappointed. Gooey and yummy with the right kind of chocolate, melted mallow and graham craker makes this pizza to die for. And so yes, please ask if you wanna try a certain pizza cos they will make it for you. Honestly with all the yumminess going on, i didnt really focus on the decor. Its much like a regular parlour, with a section for the pizza, and some small tables and chairs, a large table and benches in the middle, all wood. They have some cute posters of a robot taking over the city, and trying to get some Ian's pizza.

Use to be a one time great place. With good pizza and good customer service. Now it just sukks. Half the ingredients arent available, won't accept Amex and worst of all delivery takes over 90 mins most of the time. This isn't a knee jerk review. I have loved and ordered pizza many times from them but I just can't take the lack of accountability and shabby customer service. Step up or lose the business.

Ian's pizza: good when you're sober, best thing you've ever eaten EVER when you're drunk. Once the bars have closed, you can definitely expect a long line at Ian's, but that's also how you know it's good. When you place your order, they throw the slices in to be heated up pretty quickly, so the wait is manageable. They're so used to having a ton of people stampede the place at 2:02am that the people working are never completely flustered. Of all the pizzas I've eaten here, the mac and cheese pizza is the winner hands down. And they have sauces in which to dip your pizza if you ask, because if you're like me you just want ranch on everything when you're drunk. One night, I found myself drunk and alone in Wrigleyville at 1am on a Wednesday. Clearly it was a weird night. On my way to the el, I stopped by Ian's which was nearly empty. Looking at the pizzas behind the case, the pizza with steak, barbecue sauce and fries caught my eye. I point at it and say, "I want that one." Guy behind the counter: "How many slices?" Me: "The whole thing." So he throws it in the oven. When it's ready he pulls out each slice and places each on an individual plate in a humongous box . Why?! But I was too drunk to protest. When I got home, I ran upstairs to see my roommate. I tried to walk into her room, and the box literally was wider than the door. It just made zero sense, but I still love Ian's. There is such a thing as Ian's Customer of the Year. I only know of this because a friend's boss's roommate was given this prestigious title in the past. I'm sure you have to go to Ian's almost everyday if you want to be a serious contender. Good luck.

Creative, inspired and delicious-- 'tis you, Ian. Ian's and I go way back, though I'm just now writing about our prolific love affair. You see, Ian's is who I go and see when I'm having a bad day. Conversely, I also find myself jonesin' for Ian on a day I'm smiling. Rain or shine, sleet or snow, that trek to Ian's is well worth bumping elbows with Wrigleyville's finest frat boys. My favorite slice is the signature mac 'n' cheese though I've also got love for BBQ chicken pineapple, spicy chicken quesadilla, and the burrito as well as the s'mores dessert slice. Yes, I'm still talking about pizza here! The only drawback is that these slices will run you almost $4 a pop. But, it's some of the best fat food ever!

Cecil S.

It's an alright slice of pizza, lot of crazy different toppings to try from, all nicely displayed for you to pick out, heat, and eat. They lose one star for being a pizza place that doesn't simply have a slice of cheese, for the average person that doesn't want an ian's/dimo's crazy slice of pizza. Not a huge fan of their crust either, but my go-to slice is the buffalo chicken/something else. Staff is easy to work with, and there's plenty of seating area. But, the line at this place can get to be pretty long during nighttime hours on Fridays, Saturdays, or during Cubs home games.

Laura C.

Two stars for the variety, but the taste failed to wow me. When I go somewhere and see something I've never had, I always get it. So at Ian's, I tried the scrambled egg pizza. Bland, one-dimensional and disappointing. The server described it as "a little spicy," and that was an understatement. For someone who doesn't really even like ground black pepper, I thought this pizza need some crushed red pepper and hot sauce, both of which are available in the condiment section. I only saw one squeeze tube of hot sauce at another diner's table, so I felt like I couldn't use it. Instead, I opted for the Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, which added a little something something. For $3.75 a slice at Ian's, you're better off with a frozen CPK pizza. One positive note, both people who helped me (the server and the cashier) were super friendly and helpful. I really appreciated the fact that the server went down the line and told me what each pizza was, and she had the patience to wait for my decision. Customer service would bring me back here for another try.

If you want quick, large slices of different varieties of pizza, this is the best! The macaroni and cheese pizza I had should be probably be one of my last meals; I cannot wait to get it again! Excited to try out all of their different pizzas the next time I'm in Wrigleyville!

Nice, efficient staff. The place made a name for itself for original toppings and it does not disappoint! The Barbecue one with ground-beef and fries is amazing. Only regret is that 95% of their creations involve pork or chicken... They have an original drink selection as well, like boxed water or Mexican Coke (No corn-syrup, all sugar, tastes like I am back to Europe!). Definitely worth a try, whether you are a pizza-lover who wants to try original kinds, or just somebody who wants a quick, affordable bite that will still please your tastebuds (I actually have a friend who does not like pizza and enjoyed his quick dinner there!)

Cris S.

This place is crazy. If you're looking for "Chicago-style" pizza you should head elsewhere because there is NOTHING normal about Dimo's. List of Dimo's Slices I've Tried (Off the Top of My Head): Macaroni & Cheese Southwest Egg-roll Nacho Penne Alfredo with Sausage (or Chicken) Pulled Pork BBQ S'mores Getting the pattern? If it resembles traditional then it's not a Dimo's pie. The one weakness they have is the crust, which is about a 2-3 out of 5 depending on the day. Normally this would be a 100% deal-breaker as the crust is essential, but the toppings are so unique and interesting that I was always willing to allow it. I made myself sick of the place after about two weeks straight of eating there. If you're a pizza snob and hate fusion concepts then you need to walk right by. However, if you're looking for a food adventure then you can't pass this up.

Pizza is a food I never really crave. I didn't like it growing up, and I tolerate it now. Never have I had a pizza that makes me ever wish to order it again. Ian's was not an exception to that rule; however, it tempted me by not really being pizza at all. I mean, sure, technically, it's pizza, but it's also cheesesteak, and penne alfredo, and ravioli. Those were the toppings we ordered, and I have to say, happily munching away at the cheesesteak pizza was pretty much like happily munching away at an actual cheesesteak sandwich. And I like cheesesteak sandwiches. The penne alfredo was, similarly, much like slurping down an actual bowl of penne alfredo, but without the tiresome issue of how much pasta to try and fit on your fork at once. So, yes, I approve. If I lived around here I'd stop by often just to see what insane thing they chose to throw on top of pizza dough that day. It certainly doesn't hurt that this may have been the best pizza dough I've ever tasted: light, crisp, crackly, yet stood up gamely to the onslaught of alien ingredients.

At the new Dimos on Damen. 5 stars for awesome pizza, interesting flavors & the great crust! I love crispy, not floppy or soggy crust. $1pizza day gets this place 5 stars. Also, can't wait for the taps to get filled!

Angelica S.

This place is a drunken fool's heaven. They make all sorts of pizzas that are not your typical styles. My favorite is the Mac and Cheese pizza. With a little bit of ranch. YUM! It's 2 bucks for a slice, which are quite large too. Can't beat that. The staff is great too. The place can get really packed, but the line moves pretty quickly. Also that gives you time to decide what want, because it can be hard to choose. You may not have a place to sit either during rush hours, but they give paper plates so it's okay. You really need to try this place out.
(5)
Lauriean D.

Ordered delivery. The pizza arrived lukewarm. While they do have a wild variety of toppings, I'm guessing they have to make a lot of everything to keep on hand, not a whole lot is made fresh. And it shows. It's kinda like the Old Country Buffet of pizza. You get a lot, but it's all mediocre.

J. A. L.

Mac and cheese is a must have, of course. And they have such great vegetarian options, so try something new! Vegan Tuesdays and Thursdays! BBQ "steak" and fries is my favorite vegan option, though I prefer dairy cheese.

Jules H.

Hmmm...my neighbors rave about this place, so last night I went in on a delivery order with them. It really was not my cup of tea as far as pizza's go. I like very thin crust pizza. They make a very doughy pizza and then put things like tortellini and mac n cheese on it. Total stoner pizza, that 14 year old boys might create. If you like a doughy pizza crust, then more starchy things plopped on it, put down that bong and call these people!

I am so confused about this place and I plan to not go back in the near future. Last week when my hubby and I went to the Cubs game and had pizza we realized the pizza of the week for the next week was peach cobbler so we decided we wanted to go back and try it. Well we did go back and try it and I wish we hadn't. My husband got the sausage and penne pizza which was really weird and he didn't like it at all, he ended up switching it out for the BBQ steak and fries which as I said before is actually good. I got the Chicken Parmesan which was terrible. The chicken was totally dried out and it was just yucky. When we were waiting for our pizza to get reheated I said to my husband "Wow! This is taking a lot longer than normal." When we got the pizza is was rather overcooked and both of the tops of our mouths were burnt. Lastly, for dessert we got what we came for the peach cobbler pizza. The flavor was flat and didn't really have any cinnamony or sweet notes it was just blah. The homemade biscuits that were promised I certainly didn't even noticed and the problem that I had with the last dessert pizza which was only the bottom half of the pizza (aka probably about 1/3 of the actual slice since it's a triangle) is pizza the top is just cooked dough. The worst part however is there was actual cheese on the pizza. WTF, this was the most disgusting thing I've ever tried, wow in the world would you put cooked cheese on a dessert? In summary, go and try the mac & Cheese or BBQ steak and fries but do not under ANY circumstances try any of the odd flavors.

Kristina M.

I don't understand this place. I came in here a couple times throughout the years, but sadly, every time that I have gone in, it has never been as good as the first time. The service has gone downhill, and has become more rude. What I also don't understand that when they changed over from Ian's to Dimo's, is why they kept the same menu? If they didn't want to be Ian's anymore/go in a different direction, you should probably change something other then the name. Sorry.

Don J.

This is the best pizza I have tasted in Chicago. Ians is about 4 miles away from where I live and I don't go there as much as I would like. Any time I do go, I tear the pizza apart and generally make an idiot of myself as I keep on jumping up to order more slices and act like a 5 year old. My company recently ordered six 20 inch pizzas for 20 of us to eat before we went drinking. All pizzas were finished in 10 minutes and we all wanted more. The pepperoni is my favourite but my friends say that the mac and cheese is even better. I tried the Spicy Chicken Taco on Monday and I really liked it and I wanted to try the El Mexicano but my co-workers had it all eaten before I had the chance. While I like deep dish pizza, the best pizza in Chicago is at Ian's.

Drew B.

Ian's originated in Wisconsin and I used to get it all the time; I moved to Chicago and really missed it. You can only imagine my excitement when I ran into this one... steps away from my house! Unique pizzas like mac n cheese, mexican fiesta and bbq chicken will keep you coming back, plus the fact that the slices are cheap and as big as your face.

Amanda M.

SO, apparently, my reviews are soooo good they need to be filtered. Whatevs...Ian's is FREAKING AMAZING and nothing can stop me from telling you so. Here's my update: my little guy turned one last week, and what better way to celebrate than with a cake and Ian's pizza party? So, I called up to order eight whole 20" pizzas (2 buffalo blue chicken, 2 spinach feta pesto, 2 philly cheesesteak, 1 cheese, 1 sausage and pepperoni= ALL AMAZEBALLS!!!), and they had them delivered piping hot about about 30 minutes later. This obviously supports my other review, and reinforces my claims about their amazing customer service. I don't care, YELP, filter this, too. I'll continue to spread the word about Ian's how I have since day one: good ol'word of mouth (and by serving it at my parties so I can convert people instantaneously and right before my very own eyes). WE LOVE YOU, IAN'S!!!

Alexa H.

We ordered from here because we'd heard about the ridiculous mac'n'cheese pizza. But I'm a Jersey girl and I do not put that kinda crap on my pizza. So we ordered spinach feta pesto, a white pizza and to my surprise, a pie cut, NY style pizza. Truly! I have eaten many supposed NY style pizzas in this lovely city. Few have lived up to my expectations. But Ian's (now called Dimo's) impressed me. Do I wish there was a pie size in between 12 inches and 20 inches? Yes. Do I wish I could avoid the shouting, Wrigleyville morons that inhabit this place? That, too. Still, I'll go get pizza to-go when I need that NY style fix. And maybe I'll let someone convince me to try the mac'n'cheese.

Blaise S.

Living in Madison, WI for a few years, where Ian's first started, you can imagine my complete giddyness when I discovered they crossed the border and opened shop in Chicago, near my beloved Cubbies as a bonus! If you can't imagine my giddyness, then you have just never bothered to stop in for a slice. And for that, shame on you! I stop here every time I'm in Wrigleyville - it's well worth it. Mac 'N Cheese is hands-down their best type, and I'm a big fan of the Smokey Bandit. I tried the Wake Up Special (breakfast sausage, french toast and maple syrup) and Papa Bandit last time, and they were both tasty. It's also BYOB, and the staff is friendly which is great in case you come during after-hours with all the drunks looking for munchies.

nice small typical pizza joint with friendly staff and good service... had the BBQ steak and fries.. it looked better then what it tasted but it wasn't bad.. in my opinion it would of been better if it didn't have the BBQ sauce on it.. also had the BBQ chicken with bacon and ranch (i think that's what it was) .. it was good! it was sweet and flavorful.. i would recommend this! they have a lot of creative toppings on their pizza and that's what separate it from other pizza joints.. i am looking forward to come back and try out their other crazy topping pizza!

Allan M.

For not trying everything on their menu yet(particularly dessert pizzas and salads), this has been solid the several times I've eaten here. My fav so far has actually been the barbeque steak and fries pizza. They have a lasagna marinara(?) that was decent, and the macaroni and cheese was also good(though IMO, it was slightly overhyped). And of course, love how chewy their pizza crust is, and I hope that never changes! Other than my wish that they'd open earlier on weekdays(heck, even a 2 to 3pm opening time, instead of 5pm, would be fine for me), this place continues to not disappoint every time I come here. Finally, don't forget to ask for a punch card, you get punches each time you get a specialty pizza slice($3.75), and a free slice after 10 punches.
(4)
Kit A.

I don't think the word love can come close to describing how I feel about Ian's. This is hand's down the BEST pizza joint. Don't come here looking for deep dish or Chicago style pizza. This is where you get the most bad-ass pizza around. Of course my favorite (like everyone's) is the Mac'n'Cheese, but there are so many unique kinds you just have to try them all. Last wknd I was fortunate enough to run into some drunk guys who bought my girl friend and I 1 slice of every kind of pizza there was (resulting in close to 15 slices). Needless to say, i was not disappointed with a single slice! Yes, there will be downfalls (like the pesto tortellini), but just getting to try the ever changing rotation makes up for it. Regardless if you like pizza or not, you have to try this place AT LEAST 3 times to get the real sense of why this place is so awesome. I can guarantee you won't find another place to try s'mores pizza, butternut squash soup pizza or steak and fries pizza. Two thumbs up!

This is great NY style pizza. They capture the best of it, and always make it represent the Northeast well.

Jennifer S.

Pizza as big as your head (or, you know, just really, really big slices), and a ton of flavors/toppings (both unique and traditional) available. If you like NY Style pizza, you'll love this place. Great crust (you can fold it, a prereq. for NY style), great sauce, just all around yummy. One slice will usually fill me up, and at under $5 that's a good deal! Fair warning: not as great cold as it is hot.

Alan K.

This place is extremely popular with the locals. It is conveniently adjacent to Wrigleyfield and also Boystown. :) The pizza here is delicious. So, you pick the slices that you want and they put it in the oven to reheat. They have some interesting varieties of pizza including some kind of tortilla topped pizza and a philly cheesesteak pizza. I had a philly cheesesteak pizza and it was delicious. This place is BYOB (Bring your own beer). It was quite evident that people brought their own beer. When popular songs would play in the restaurant, people would start singing to it. I think this place has a great vibe. Sitting space is scarce though.

Andy M.

Grub a Grub, Grub. Ian's is the best pizza that I have had in a long time. The structure is more like New York pizza. The slices have a thinner crust than most Chicago pizza and they make is with little to no tomato sauce. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken pizza. It was delicious. The Chicken had a spicy tang to it and the cheese was mouthwatering. Ian's has a BYOB policy and there is a liquor store about a block away. It was a wonderful Friday night. There is nothing like kicking back with a good Pie and a few Brews to get the weekend started right. I really enjoyed my experience at Ian's and I can't wait to go back.

I would actually give Ian's 3 1/2 stars if possible, and that rating might go higher if I come here again. For my first visit, I had two slices: portabello mushroom and tortellini. I loved the crust on both slices, but the portabello slice was sort of bland for whatever reason. The tortellini slice was amazing, however. Great combination of ingredients. I'd definitely like to return to try some of their other creations. I can't think of another place where so many different kinds of unique pizzas are available.

closed?!?!?!??!?!?!?!? what is going on here? I wrote this review for Ians...shout out to my boy Ian from Mad town.....and now it flipped to "Dimos" in the headline..HUH???

Dude, there's a taco on your pizza. Dude, there's tortellini on your pizza. Dude, there's macaroni and cheese on your pizza. Dude, enough already...OK. Ian's is great on numerous levels. To start, their location. Right around the corner from Wrigley field. So maybe you're in the area to bar hop or to catch a ball game. Both are obvious reasons why Ian's would be a good choice. They're also BYOB. So again, great way to pregame before a ball game while getting some satisfying pizza. Now, the pizza. They've always got an array of pizzas ready to be consumed. The crust on their pizza can rival some of Chicago's best. Their toppings are hilarious and genius. Ian's offers imaginative pizza in an awesome location. Next time your in the area, it's defiantly worth a go.

Love this place, they have not changed since the Ian's days, except to become better!

The pizza here is definitely unique and delicious!! I couldn't believe I fell in love with their mac and cheese pizza (I refused to eat mac and cheese after I nearly threw up from eating Easy Mac in college....ever since, just the thought of it would leave me with a queasy feeling in my stomach). Anyways, fast forward to the Yelp Elite party last week. One bite of that pizza and I was amazed. It was so good! I wanted to have my husband try it and order a pizza the next night. We ordered the pizza a couple of nights later along with their Portabella Mushroom Basil Chicken Parmesean. It was delicious....fresh ingredients and tender juicy pieces of chicken. If you like portabella mushrooms, you'll love this pizza....tons of pieces scattered throughout the huge 20' pizza! I'm looking forward to trying the rest of the pizzas!

Here fatty, fatty,fatty! Come and get it. I hear that taunt in my head when I pass Ian's and smell the pizza aromas wafting through the air. I do my best to eat healthy fare for lunch but I worked around the corner from Ian's so it was hard. Finally, it became too much to ignore and I gave in to Ian's call. Of course, I ordered the much hyped Mac and Cheese pizza. I would use expletives to say how much I enjoyed it, but I'll keep it classy and just say it was beyond good and worth the hype. Lunch at Ian's was probably 90% of my daily caloric intake, but Ill be back to do it all over again and relish in my giant cheesy pizza tummy!

This is definitley my late night eatery of choice. There is usually a line but it always moves fast, lots of energy, I've seen a rap off and some other fabulous entertainment here. There are so many choices, be forwarned the mexican pizza is super spicy, my go to favorite is the BBQ chicken. Pieces are large, but lets be honest I always get two haha !! If your unfortunate enough to be partying it up in wriggly this is a must do, but I often make the late night cab trip from where ever I am !!!

Ian's is everything you could want in a pizza place. Location, flavor and just flat out delicious pizza. Lots of cool, weird, normal, fun choices. Affordable as well. We always try to park (handicap pass) right outside Ian's for Cubs games and rock a couple slices before first pitch. Great stuff!

Sorry. Don't get the big deal about this place. I went for the vegan pizza (which they only serve by the slice on Thursdays--other days you have to buy a whole pizza) with my bf. I had one slice each of the veggie Buffalo Chicken and the veggie Sausage and the boyfriend had the Chicken Alfredo and BBQ Chicken. The atmosphere (well okay maybe the table sets) reminded me of a high school cafeteria---they have these big 4 blocks of tables meant for seating 5-10 people at a time, like in school. Maybe its just me---I wasn't a fan. The food wasn't any better. UGH! They should not even sell this stuff to represent vegan pizza---it was FLAVORLESS---even after I added hot sauce and oregano! My bf said that the BBQ chicken was just a mess slathered in crappy BBQ sauce, and that even though the Chicken Alfredo was good, it wasn't worth coming back for. I thought this was really BAD---especially for a place whose only entree is PIZZA!!! We ordered 4 slices, two lemonades, and a brownie (which my bf also thought was not worth the waste of chocolate--he took one bite and tossed it!) for $21.50 total at $3.50 a slice---so NOT worth it! Will NOT be back. As in, even if the rapture came tomorrow and I'm filthy stinking drunk awaiting my last fall from grace and I'm offered one last meal before tossed into the fiery pit from Ian's---I'd pass and gladly starve.

Amazing! Not only a stoner's dream but they put the delicious things on a pizza and make it look and taste amazing! Their macaroni and cheese pizza was awesome. The guy serving the pizza was the best pizza salesmen ever. Great personality and great service. I want to go back right now!

When my hubby asked me if I wanted to split a piece of pizza I should have said no. I had just consumed a hot dog and a soft pretzel at Wrigley Field during the Billy Joel/Elton John concert (awesome by the way). But then I realized it would be silly for me to turn down half a slice of pizza from the one and only Ian's. And so I obliged... It was a tough choice. Steak burrito pizza? mmm. Mac n cheese pizza? mmm mmm. Chicken penne pizza? mmm mmm mmm. But hubby wanted a piece of mushroom/pepperoni. Boring! I thought about getting my own slice, but then I remembered that it's not fun when your jeans don't fit and agreed I'd be happy with the mushroom/pepperoni. Am I good wife or what? It may sound boring, but it was the best half slice piece of pizza I've had in a long time...and I seem to be consuming a lot of pizza these days! And if the mushroom/pepperoni is this good imagine how good that mac n cheese pizza will be? Well done Ian. I would consider going up a size in jeans for you...

we've gotten delivery from this place twice off grubhub and both times have been great. we get their vegan pizzas and they're super good; their crust alone makes me a fan. we particularly like the florentine pizza and have gotten it both times. we've also tried the buffalo chicken and spicy chicken taco pizzas, which are also both good but could do with a little more cheese and a little less fake meat.

One of my favorite pizza places back home serves similar pizza so I was excited to find a place in Chicago that served funky pizza. I never heard of Dimo's until the CM Punk Best in the World premiere when CM Punk ordered Dimo's pizza for hundreds of fans waiting to see the premiere of his dvd. It was delicious and I knew I had to go back for more. I've had Dimos since then on two separate occasions, only because going to Wrigleyville can sometimes be a pain. I love Dimos, for 5 bucks you get a huge (not Bacci's huge, but still big) slice with a pop and it's a gourmet pizza. You can take it to go, or sit in and talk to your friends about how delicious it is without anyone bothering you. The only set back is that there's no cards or menu telling you what is what and what is on what and I'll be disappointed when a slice looks delicious but it has something I'm allergic to on it so it would be nice if there were some ingredients listed, but that's just me I guess. Plus, I feel bad asking when I'm sure the employees probably repeat it time and time again. Anyways, I love it and according to their FB they are opening a new location in Spring down in Wicker Park, much closer to me so I will be there raving about how delicious they are, so much more. Oh and I should mention I've never had it delivered, I normally go there and just order by the slice so I'm not sure if they deliver various slices or if you have to have just one type of pizza delivered, but I'm sure another review will answer that. PS: Their special menu changes weekly!

In the heart of Wrigleyville lies the famous Dimo's Pizza (Formerly Ian's Pizza). It's a different name but same product and staff. I give credit to anyone who is in the service industry in Wrigleyville. Think about the crowd they get. Hungry, drunk people. The fact that they can deliver a pizza 2 miles away in an hour with a jam packed clark street and store full of customers is amazing, considering they do it with a positive attitude. I have never visited Dimo's and had a bad experience with the staff or the food.

People keep calling this a pizza place, but it really isn't. Believe me when I say that I've debated the philosophical definition of pizza passionately enough that I'm no stranger on the subject. Does it matter? No, the food is delicious. So, why isn't this a pizza place? What you order looks like pizza. It comes in pizza slice shapes. It has a pizza crust. It's made much like a pizza. You may even see a guy spinning dough on his hands just like a pizza would be. However, the creations here are more different foods served on pizza backing, and I'm in love with the heart and soul it all. The dough and the crust are absolutely fantastic. They're so good that IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO ONLY MAKE PIZZA ON THEM. I'm now convinced that just about any food could be made better if the engineers at Ian's were given a crack at it. I've had the Mac & Cheese, a Philly Cheesesteak, and Smokey The Bandit (chicken, barbecue sauce, cheddar, and ranch). Yes, yes, the Mac & Cheese is what they're famous for, but the winner was definitely Smokey The Bandit. It was an explosion of awesome flavors layered on top of their perfect crust. It was like eating some really awesome sandwich with a tanginess and sweetness and cheesiness all wrapped up nicely. When I go back, I will try other pieces, but I'm going back for Smokey.

This is a go to place to cure a hangover. If you want a unique slice...check this place out.

Brian G.

The food is usually great. The last time I went they burnt my pizza - and my bill was over $45 but they only gave me 2 "get a slice free" cards - not exactly a fair trade. And the last few times I've called for pick-up they've placed me on hold for over 10 minutes, and when I called back after hanging up they thought I was someone else and took my order right away - customer service could be a little better/consistent. It won't stop be necessarily from going back - when the pizza is good IT IS GOOD!

Dhruv P.

Its creative all right. Its super fun and exciting. Its open late... BUT its in Wrigleyville! Its not that I don't like Wrigleyville - well, I don't, but I have no issue with it as I am never in the area, but now that I ate at Ian's, I am torn. The ideal time for me getting a slice of pizza is later in the evening when I am coming home and need a bite to eat. BUT its the same time that the place is filled with drunk obnoxious people, people that I want to avoid as much as possible and which I ignore after gazing upon Ian's pizzas. Oh, the sights. So many versions to try... so little time. I've had the mac and cheese slice. YUM. I will have it again, but I don't think its as good as everyone says. Its good, but I had my expectations up really high after I heard so much about it. Just yesterday, I had the black bean and guacamole version. Now that is what I call a pizza slice. The black beans gave it a unique taste and the guacamole left my mouth feeling smooth, as if soft cream coated my tongue. Come here earlier, before people get drunk. Its a fun place. If you must go late and have little tolerance for drunk people, send your friend to grab a takeout and enjoy the pizza in a calmer environment.

I have been an avid fan of Dimos for about two and half years. The staff is amazing and the pizza can simply not be beat. Just choosing which slice you want is fun since they are constantly coming up with new concoctions. When I found out the Chicken & Waffles pizza was permanently going to be on the menu, I practically hopped over the counter to give every worker a hug in praise and thanks - would HIGHLY recommend this slice. Can't wait to try their turkey and green bean casserole pizza for the holidays!

It is so terrible when friends are in Chicago from out of town and somehow you end up on Clark Street at 2am. What a circus! Upon entering Ian's, I wanted to run away immediately, but the combination of being told they had mac and cheese pizza and only having salad at Pick Me Up allowed me to power through this rare late night adventure (... I am such a homebody). ANYWAY, they had so many pizzas on display! I didn't really know what to do and it was too loud in there for me to hold up the line by asking questions. I just pointed at two random pies and moved along, a little sad that there was no mac and cheese pizza. Of course they brought out a new one after I had paid for mine. Luckily my friend (informant about the m&c pizza AND savior of the night) saw how distressed I was and bought me a slice. So, what started out as a pretty annoying trip home got much better! The PERFECT ending was when some drunk jerk waiting for his slices tried to steal mine when they put them out on the counter. His shady moves were quickly spotted by one of the staff, who grabbed all the slices, took them off the counter, told the guy no, and then handed them to me. :) My hero!!! As for the pizza, it is really good. They do a great crust. My favorite was the spinach pesto with feta cheese with the veggie coming in a close second. I would pass on the mac and cheese next time. It's a really exciting concept but was pretty bland.

I just recently moved to Chicago (Lincoln Park/Lakeview area) and ordered Dimo's for the first time last night. My boyfriend and I ordered delivery, which took almost 2 hours to arrive. When I called to place the order, the girl who answered was awesome. She had a great personality and was very easy to talk to. I did receive a call that the pizza was going to arrive a bit later than expected, but I received this call about 5-10 minutes before the guy arrived. It would've been nice to know a little earlier on. When the pizza arrived, it was good, but it just wasn't very hot and seemed like it had been made a while ago. We ordered half sausage/pepperoni and half bbq chicken pineapple. They were both good, I probably liked the sausage/pepperoni the best, but it would've been better had it been hot. I will probably try this place again.

Pinaki S.

The sign on the door (it could have been the 7 beers I had, though) said "Review us on Yelp" (not Yelp made sign). This speaks to the confidence the place has on sustaining drunk Wrigleyville patrons. The number of types of pizza here really boggles the mind. I mean, damn don't you think drunk people just want pepperoni and cheese? Well, apparently they don't. And by the numbers of people who were trying the specialities, maybe they are onto something. Trying to save money (nevermind the $50 I blew at Mullens), I got the simple pepporoni. Damn good.

Omg best vegan pizza options ever try the nacho pizza , the lasagna pizza needed a bit more sauce my hubby loved the s'mores. Will be back frequently don't advise Saturday night after 10 pm unless you like people watching drunks :)

Got the gyro pizza. Yummy. I thought the pizza was good, but I would definitely come back if the pizza had a crispy crust.

Erik O.

This place was good. Not great. Let me explain. The pizzas are all about shock value, and what weird shit they can pile on top of it. We got 6 slices so we could try some of the crazy combinations. -The Mac n Cheese - Weird and not really like mac n cheese -The California - Very good, with goat cheese -Steak and fries - ok, nothing too special. The sauce is too sweet. -Steak Nacho - FUCKING GOOD! I loved this slice - and we got 2 slices of the Chicken Bacon Ranch - which was very good, but the ranch dressing was a little too thick on some parts, and it was just too much sometimes. Here's the deal. Don't come here if you want traditional pizza. Come here if you are looking for something a little different, and want to try some crazy pizza toppings.

Natalie S.

Even if my son was not obsessed with the mac n' cheese pizza, and even if they did not have a CM Punk-inspired pizza on the menu for next week, I would love this place simply for their super nice staff and wacky ideas. I love trying every new veggie slice, and I have yet to try one that didn't hit the spot. I admit, the mac n' cheese is my favorite too, but the tortellini's ot too shabby either. I avoid Ian's during Cub's games to keep my husband out of jail for face-shoving drunken idiots into oncoming traffic, but man oh man am I there all the time during football season!
(5)
Daniel S.

It's a pizza joint but not made like how you would typically expect. The spot is pretty small as you can see the whole place as you walk in the door. The staff was nice and they have a wide selection of specialty pizzas. I made up my mind and got the bbq chicken with bacon and ranch on there. It was definitely worth trying! All of the flavors complimented well and it really hit the spot. I did notice that most people ordered two slices as well. If you have not tried the food yet, you definitely need to visit at least once. I will make more visits and try other toppings!

Sheila X.

I love pizza. I can't deny it. So when we're done drinking in Wrigleyville and hunger strikes, I am secretly happy there is only one place to turn to.... Ian's! They always have new toppings and combinations, so don't go in there with your heart set on a specific one.... But luckily, they always have something interesting and tempting... and if not... there is always good old cheese to fall back on.... (ugh, so vanilla... lol) Some of my faves are bbq chicken pizza, bbq chicken with bacon n ranch and chicken taco but there are so many more to choose from. They are open super late, and have plenty of seating for everyone to quickly sit and devour their pizza!

Brandon R.

It's your first time at Ian's? DO THIS - Try the Mac & Cheese. It's their staple for a reason. - Ask questions. You're required to be incredibly nice and awesome to work there, so they'll have no qualms in breaking down each slice for you. - Be drunk and go at bar time. Don't let the long line fool you; they're machines and will get you your pizza shortly. The pizza is still amazing sober, but Ian's was meant to be enjoyed in a drunken stupor. - That may make asking questions slightly difficult. - Take it to the next level: Throw some hot sauce on your pizza, ask for a side of ranch... experiment a little. Lemme tell you, Mac & Cheese goes from great to orgasmic with a little ranch thrown in the mix. DON'T DO THIS - Order cheese and/or pepperoni. Those slices are only available for cheapskates and little kids. You want cheese or pepperoni, go to Chi Pie or some other junk establishment. - No, that last part was not just, like, my opinion, man. It's science. - Expect the water to be refreshing. It's lukewarm. That's just how they roll. Order a real drink if you need something cold to wash the za down. - Order one slice. I don't care who you are or how hungry you are, Ian's is a 2 slice adventure. And if you have a free slice from your punch card? Wait, I thought this was your first time? How do you have 10 punches already? A unique experience, an affordable experience, and a memorable experience. Viva la Ian's.

Delicious pizza! Perfect location for any late night cravings one might have during a night out! Will definitely go back here if my drunk self ever stumbles across it again!

Luke S.

I love Ian's and I feel that they have some of the most creative pizza's around. My one disappointment always comes when I select my slice and the pizza barista always selects the smallest slice left of that pie. It bothers me that I am paying $3.50 for the "little brother" slice. Now I have been here both sober and after much consumption, but I rarely get the massive piece that is always making love to your sweet eyes. Also beware that you will encounter a large amount of obnoxious drunks if you go later in the evening.

The macaroni and cheese pizza is good, but it is nothing compared to the breakfast pizza. Eggs, cheese, bacon, tomato, and onion all on a pizza?!?! Whaaaat?!? It sounds weird but it is so so so so good!

Ariana S.

Damn you Ian's! There you are, every weekend without fail. Calling me. Beckoning me. Mocking me. Eaaaaaattt meeee! I cannot resist your luscious mac & cheese pizza. Your strange but exhilarating fajita creation. Your fries and BBQ sauce pie. And now even S'more style? Why do you do this to me and why is my alcohol-induced person so incapable of resistance!? It's Friday. See you at 3 a.m.

Nick M.

Absolutely fantastic REAL pizza. Being from NY I have been trying hard to find edible pizza in Chi and Ian's is 100% the best "NY-style" (real) pizza in Chicago. I'd say a far and away second place is Pronto Za and third place is Cafe Luigi's. Last place is Bacci, which is so disgusting I walked out laughing. But back to Ian's - thin crispy crust with nice texture - tastes like pizza dough and not like bread (unlike many other pizza establishments in the city). Just the right greasiness-level and so many different unique topping combos to choose from! They have slices ready for you to-go that are always fresh because Ian's is always busy. It is truly a shame that because of it's location Ian's gets unfairly labeled by many locals as solely "drunk food", when in fact it offers so much more than just that. My favorite slices are the feta/chopped tomato/spinach and the penne/chicken pesto. Pretty excited to try them all. I'm very happy i found Ian's - I've already been here many times and will continue to frequent when I am in the Wrigleyville area. Ian's is the closest Chicago gets to NY pizza. Awesome! Go eat it now.

Now called Dimos pizza. It is a very good place in the whole wrigleyville neighborhood. I really like the selection of pizzas that they give. I had the BBQ ranch chicken and it was great! They have many different pizzas to chose your slice from( a fact I love). Staff is friendly and place is set up very nicely with communal seating. Definitely worth checking out!

Carlos A.

Awesome place to come grab a slice of pizza. In a point and pick fashion on a set of stellar pizzas you cant go wrong, even when you don't know what's in the pizza you just pointed at. After a night of drinking with some buddies, you have to stop here before making your way home. Grab a slice, you won't be disappointed.

Brent K.

I give this place an A for effort and creativty. The big story is me and my wife went there about 9 months ago. We ordered our usual then sat down. Two mins. later my wife spits out a fucking screw from her mouth. The guy gave us our pizza for free and another couple slices for next time. I can't make this story up. Advise: watch out for big screws in your pizza.

Adam M.

Ians is by far the #1 drunk food I have ever eaten! You like fries? Throw them on a pizza. You like s'mores? Throw them on a pizza, You like pasta? Throw some on a pizza. You get the idea. This place has so many crazy toppings but a MUST try is the Mac and Cheese Pizza. You will not be disappointed with this late night treat.
(4)
Victoria V.

If you can dream it, you can do it. That should be Ian's motto. Because any food you can think of --- yeah, they're gonna put it on some pizza crust. Some DELICIOUS pizza crust I might add. My only regret is that I didn't try the famous mac and cheese pizza. Next time.... next time. Yuuuuuuum! Get the ranch! Please dear lord, get the home made ranch. $3.50 for all slices and FREE RANCH? WHO ARE YOU! Great service, friendly staff. OBSESSED. Will be frequenting. Alfredo mushroom pizza?! Yes please. I had a slice. I also had a cheesey potato slice which wasn't as fun but still pretty good.

When I'm back home on the East Coast, I always plan a visit to Peace a Pizza, which has inventive flavor combinations and beautifully fresh ingredients. After living on the Lakeview/LP border for 2 years, I was starting to think that there was no comparable joint here. Who knew that Wrigleyville, of all places, would hold the key? After a night at Barleycorn (don't ask), my sister decided she was in dire need of sustenance, and her friend recommended Ian's. I figured that we were going to a Bacci-esque place, but I was very pleasantly surprised to find a diverse assortment of pies and remarkably quick and friendly service, especially considering the hordes of drunkies at 2 am. My lips are still burning from the two Spicy Beef Taco slices that I inhaled, and I don't even mind. The next time I'm in the mood for pizza that's creative and loaded with flavor, I know exactly where I'll go.

Samra M.

Macaroni and cheese pizza !!! =] That just caught my eye and I had to have it so I did. I made my purchase and it was worth waiting 10 minutes for a whole one. =] Thank you Ians, I'll be coming back for more creative pizzas especially since lent is over!

Ashley A.

So many pizza flavors! Haven't tried the mac n cheese one yet, but plan on it. I was pretty happy with all the pizza I've tried here, some were much better than others, of course. There is even a smores pizza; not sure if I would ever try that. Only things I didn't like about this place is the line is sometimes reeeally long (late at night) & the pricing could be a little more affordable ($7 for two slices, I think). You do get a pretty large slice, though. The location is also very convenient; right by all the bars in Wrigleyville, so this is a great spot to go to after a night of drinking (and they're open pretty late).

Scott B.

Mac n Cheese pizza slices. Really? Honesty, I did NOT think that this would be good, but I had to order it because a handful of stoned vegans last night insisted that this is what Ian's is known for. Here is what I ordered (eyes bigger than appetite): Mac n Cheese Cheese a barbecue beef and french fries concoction Chicken Parmesan Philly Beef All were good, but the Mac n Cheese and the barbecue beef / fries concoction were, by far, the best. Actually, I would come back to Ian's specifically for these two slices. They really were that good! Friendly, and very helpful counter service, but the prices are a tad steep. *Thursday is vegan night, so the selection is obviously geared towards the likes of hipster stoners. Ugghhh! Will I return. Most definitely, just not on a Thursday night!

Dantee A.

Ian's is like Hot Doug's, but for pizza. With pizza options like the Breakfast Burrito, Rodeo Burger, Chicken Alfredo, Mac and Cheese, and the famous Smore pizza - it's great for people who like variety and the worst place for the indecisive. Community tables and a smiley staff makes this place welcoming and fun. I do wish that they labeled each pizza by the slice so no one would have to scream their orders to the staff, but I guess that's the charm of the place. For $3.75, you get a big slice of pizza - not as big a Bacci's pizza, but filling after a night's out drinking...well make that two slices.

I am going to preface this with the fact that I am a former employee, and I am totally biased that this place is best... If you continue reading I'll give a little insight into the cool stuff that you normally don't see, either because you were partying too hard or that you were too focused on all the cool slices. This place is bomb because the people who work there genuinely enjoy going to work. The staff is part hipster, somewhat up to date on sports happenings, and at night times they are grooving to salsa and merengue. Despite such a wide variety of interests among the staff, they all participate in making the end experience the best for their customers and community. At any given time this place is hosting a meetup for the Vegan Chicago community, participating in a food donation at a local shelter, or passing out Pizza Slut/Pimp stickers for Halsted days. I will talk more about the staff and the experience soon, but I want to review the food. Hands down the best pizza in the Chi. My top 5 favorites slice are listed in this order: 1) Philly Cheesesteak 2) Spicy Chicken Taco 3) Spinach Feta Pesto 4) Buffalo Chicken Bleu Cheese 5) El Mexicano The staff goes a really good job of monitoring the slices. If one starts looking anything less than fresh, you can be sure that they are going to make sure it is thrown out. Not only is the pizza fresh, but it gets to you fast. The staff is instinctually ready for big crowds to come in at any time, and they have to move quick. Good for you and I, because that means we are getting our pizza faster. Don't worry if you are slightly too messed up to remember what you ordered or who you ordered from. They know exactly who you are and what you ordered, and they will get your attention. I like that they will make you any pizza at anytime, even if you only want a single slice. If they don't have something you want, just ask, and it will be ready in less than 10 minutes. Not bad timing considering the pizza has to be made, cooked, cut and served. However, if it is bar time, this might be a little more difficult. They most likely have plenty of good options instead and you can ask them for a recommendation. The food is good, the staff is the best, and the prices are pretty damn good. We should all be grateful for Ian's because it is the only unique food experience in Wrigleyville, and best of all you can get it as late in the night as you want. Honestly, you're other options are late night T-bell, McD's, or even worse Bacci. Please don't go there unless you are an inch away from dying of starvation. Honestly, you will thank me later for that recommendation. Much love to the Yelpers who give this place the rating it deserves.

Jack F.

How can you not love Dimo's? I live right around the corner and probably come here a bit too much. Has a unique selection of pizza and is open late for us kids. My only suggestion would be to offer a greater supply of vegan options more frequently (only offered T & Th i'm pretty sure, and when I go on these days there is usually low supply and/or a longer wait than the regular slices)

Kelly C.

Disclaimer: I have only been to Ian's after consuming a bit of liquor so I cannot comment on how the pizza is if you are sober. Mac & Cheese pizza...I'm not sure why this concept was not thought of sooner but it is amazing! I have had other ones and they are decent but go for the mac & cheese and you won't be disappointed. I tried the twice baked potato one (or something like that)...it was weird. The BBQ pizza is pretty good. Yes there will be line when you go but it moves fast and there is more than enough entertainment from the drunk people to make the wait go by quickly. Bottom line if you are in need of food and in the area stop by Ians. It might possibly make your hangover in the morning not as bad!

Don't come here looking for regular old cheese or pepperoni. This place has unique combinations of food on pizza that you'd never think of, and every time it's amazing. Walk in and try a slice of whatever they've got baked and I'm sure you'll like it. I've recently become a fan of the BBQ pulled pork with sweet South Carolina BBQ sauce and cheese and French fried onions on top. So tasty... They have a macaroni pizza for the timid...

Oh. My. God. Mac & cheese pizza by the slice. What could be better than that!? (Maybe by adding bacon...?) But let's not change what's already pretty damn near perfect. Big, floppy, slightly chewy NY style slices topped with cheesy macaroni ...for $3.75. Delicious! There I said it. I had doubts with Ian's being in the heart of "boyfriend-land" ...that's alright I'll let that one slide. I'll just try to go during the off times to avoid the backward baseball caps & DUDE! MAC & CHEESE PIZZA!! exclamations.

Eh. I'm not overly impressed. Yeah, I get it... they have fancy-schmancy weird pizza toppings. Awesome. But when I'm heading home from the bar, I want more bang for my buck. I had the tortellini pizza... basically I wanted anything that was sans-meat, and this was all that was available at the time. It was ok, but for $4, it should have been bigger, and it should have come with free soda. And it was then that I realized I wasn't at Bacci, and I was upset about that. After we ate our pizza, 3 of the group of 5 i was with agreed that A) we should have gone to Bacci, and B) maybe we should STILL go to Bacci, even after eating Ians. Overall, it was decent... but nothing to write home about.

This place gets an extra star for being an awesomely affordable and convenient BYOB joint. Not only is there a liquor store less than half a block away, the setting is casual - you order at the counter and take your plate of pizza to any of several long benches. It's located in the heart of Wrigleyville and has some pretty sweet interior design. That said, it's also a little dirty (unwiped tables, overflowing recycling bins, discarded black liquor bags) and frankly, the pizza was forgettable. Hate to pigeonhole this place, but right now I've got it mentally filed under 'cheap, convenient BYOB with decent pizza.' I'll give it a couple more chances to change that filing.

Really, 4.5 stars for this place? I don't think so. Just decent thin pizza for $2.75 or $3.75 a slice. Slices are average sized for NY style. One slice is a good sized snack, 2 slices would leave me content but would want to go out and get ice cream afterwards, and 3 slices would be great right before a nap. I was extremely disappointed in the mac & cheese pizza, especially since everyone on Yelp raves about it! It tasted like plain pasta and dough (the pizza crust). Saw the cheese but didn't taste any of it. I was expecting gooeyness but got what looked like if you threw a bowl of cooked elbows and shredded cheese together in a microwave - dry and plastic-y. However, the spinach and feta pizza had really good flavor, and the feta was actually soft and crumbled easily. The other combinations (i.e., black bean burrito, sausage, pepperoni, etc) looked like winners too. I just wouldn't recommend the mac & cheese one. They sell pizza by the slice at the counter, and you can take it on a paper plate to a table to eat. Yes, the people behind the counter are nice, but who cares about service at a place that you spend 10 minutes to eat at? Not really worth a trip here unless you're in the area.

I enjoyed the salesmanship and the adventurous spirit of some of the pizzas, but they didn't all hit the mark. We stopped in to grab a slice or two before heading into the Cubs game on Memorial Day, and I think we made the right decision. Good, foldable slices - they do the standard pizzeria by the slice thing of having several pizzas prepped and sitting out on the counter, and then when you order, they grab a slice and send it back into the oven to reheat. This does have the advantage of making the crust crisper (most of the time). We got several different slices - a mac & cheese slice, a chicken taco slice, a standard sausage and 'roni slice, and a slice of what they were calling "General Fukudome's Chicken" in a nod to the linchpin business of the neighborhood. Honestly, the mac & cheese pizza was my least favorite - it's just a carb overload. I love mac & cheese, and I love pizza, but this combo just didn't do it for me. The chicken taco slice was actually pretty good, as was the "General Fukudome's Chicken" which was not even really a General Tso's knockoff, but rather more a teriyaki chicken and broccoli pizza. The staff were really nice and helpful in picking out slices; in fact, I'd say the guy working the counter was something of a salesman - he had a really good patter and rhythm going in describing the varieties of pizza that they had. All in all, I'll be back to try some more slices.

I pounded down a huge slice of thin crust mac n' cheese pizza last night at about 3:30AM... and ya know what? It was DAMN GOOD. And unlike most Wrigleyville late night food options, I'd probably be up for eating this sober, also.

Jasmine J.

I don't really enjoy bar-hopping in Wrigley on the weekend, but if I do find myself in the area I have to grab a slice or two from Dimo's. Vegetarians, vegans or pescetarians have plenty of options to choose from. Try something out of your comfort zone. It'll probably be pretty tasty. Even my pickiest friend loves Dimo's.

Welcome everyone to the pizza I had in college in 1993... yelp.com/biz/antonios-amâ€¦ Went looking for Matsuya which has since closed and found this gem... I've been waiting for a pizza place like this in Chicago... True college town NYC style pizza. I saw they had some unique pizza toppings so I arrogantly walked in and asked for my pesto tortellini slice expecting a "what's that?". The girl behind the counter said the tortellini pesto pizza was in the oven and I'd have to wait 5 minutes... My jaw dropped. NO ONE HAS EVAR HAD TORTELLINI PESTO PIZZA IN CHICAGO - EVAR. The pizza is legit. Ive filled the loyalty punch cards many many times and I live nowhere near Dimo's. If they delivered to where I lived, I'd eat nothing else. One time they had this sweet sausage pizza with some random sauce and it was spectacular. I will support this place until they mess it up. Please let me explain... Every NY style pizza place I like in Chicago manages to mess some aspect of their pizza up over time so I have _very low expectations_. Drunk, frat, hipster clientele are FAIL, so I try and go at opening mainly for lunch and I rarely eat there and thats a testament to the quality of the pizza. Even re-warmed in my oven, it's still delishus. Also the staff is very good and very patient having to deal with so much lame bs. They all deserve raises - daily.

Now Dimo's for Dimitri- the guy running the show. So it's not just a random new name. Duuuh ;-) Anyhow, I've been meaning to try this but it took awhile cuz I usually never go out of my way for pizza- especially any kind of pizza in this city. Hell no. So I stopped by recently being in the neighborhood for work and grabbed some lunch with a coworker. I'm pretty cool with thin crust and with mac and cheese and french fries atop the slices? I'm there! I've only been here sober of course as I don't live around here nor do I party up around here. So I can see why this is fantastic when sloshed. Sober- not so much. It's alright. With my last visit there was the one with lasagna and tortellini's on hand- I'm not into those pasta dishes by itself so I opted for the mac and cheese and the one with bbq sauce, beef and french fries. Yum fries. I don't like that they just HAVE to dye the macaroni green or other colors. St. Patrick's day is long gone and it's just not necessary and kinda gross. Maybe it's to attract drunk trixies and chads for later-- Ooooooo loook at all the pretty colors! You've been m e s m e r i z e d. You w i l l EAT MEEEEEE. Anyway I went with it and the carb and fat fest was decent. I'm not dreaming about it later. The bbq beef with fries.. that one was also just okay. I picked a lot of the meat off because it was dry and unpleasant. The fries were really dried out but I enjoyed what was left- the bbq sauce and some cheese on my pizza. Great in theory but pretty poor execution. Dried out fries ad meat is the worse. I'll stop in from time to time but I'm in no hurry.

Roaming in Wrigleyville, there are only a few spots to grab a quick slice of good pizza and most times its just decent. Ian's is the top spot to find a unique and mesmerizing slice of za. If you're a first time like I was take a moment to peer through the glass and examine the lovely artwork on each of their unique pizzas. They have the usual pepperoni, sausage and cheese for $2.75. Or try one of their more uniquely created for $3.75; like BBQ Steak and fries, Chicken burrito, Penne pasta marinara or Spicy chicken quesadilla. I had the latter, while sober and let me tell you, I was thrilled. With red onions, an assortment of colored peppers, tomatoes, two cheeses and chicken. The veggies are diced and still have a crunch to them, the slice is more of a thin crust and the sauce had a tinge of sweetness. It reminded me of this pizza once offered by Red Baron or Tony's, something like the "fiesta" pizza. It was just enough, I was left with a feeling of satisfaction, still wondering if I should have more. Ian's offers a few more non typical toppings like, French fries, pasta noodles (penne, lasagna, mac), blue cheese, Asiago, black beans and don't forget sauce.. Creme fraiche, Alfredo, balsamic, it goes on and on. The sign on this place is not catchy, I've walked past many times and never looked in or wondered. Reading these reviews, I think thats a great thing, I would hate to wait in a long ass line for a slice. But, it's a truly awesome pizza. If you go with friends, share a 2 liter, it costs $2.50 which is the price of two cans of pop or have water, they've supplied a free water pump stocked with cups with the condiments. They also sell uncooked dough, 12" for $2 or 20" for $3. That's a deal! It's like standing in a candy store and when they ask what you would like to have, you need more time! The toppings are vivid and the pizzas gasp for your attention.

Just ordered delivery! Mac and Cheese pizza and also a vegan pizza with mozzarella teese, spinach, button mushrooms, red onions, and sliced tomatoes. It was all really good. The crust wasn't too doughy and not too crisp either. All the ingredients tasted really fresh. The mac and cheese pizza was better than I anticipated - the cheese was great and the noodles were nicely cooked. Yay =D

Zo O.

Not what I expected. I was thinking this place would be grimey with mediocre pizza, considering it's a late, late night spot.. (meaning where the drunks cometh). But it was nice and clean. The only thing that sort of bothered me was the fact that none of the pizzas were labeled and the line was long, so it was hard to pick. Communal tables and all that, cute ambiance. They were playing UGK- International Players Anthem while I was eating pizza. Win. Also, I was completely sober, so yes, the pizza is good w/out alcohol in your system.

Came here for a slice after a night of salsa dancing down the street at Cubby Bear. I got the portabello, spinach, and red pepper, and completely enjoyed it. I've nothing left to add that hasn't already been said a hundred times in other reviews...

Went after the Yelp ComedySportz event on the way to Goose Island afterparty. I was meaning to try Ian's ever since Robin C. mentioned it. I have to say it has to be the best late nite pizza I have had and they have some drunken pizza toppings. I bet Ian gets drunk and has eureka moments with his pizza creations. ian, I've got some suggestions that will prob never make the cut. How about duck nachos pizza, breaded ravioli pizza, longanisa/portuguese sausage with rice pizza, jelly bean and popcorn pizza, Rocky Mountain oyster pizza, kim chi/ natto pizza, mango/lychee/tapioca balls pizza? No? Okay fine, I'll leave the crazy toppings to you. I ordered the BBQ steak and fries, while Amish ordered the spinach, portabello mushroom, roasted red pepper pizza which totaled to about $7. The pizza was thin and each bite had a light crisp. I give it four stars for the unique toppings, price, and impressive taste for pizza by the slice that's been sitting awhile. Next time I'll see if I can get one that's fresh out of the oven.

Chris M.

The real deal exotic pizza topping place. This is also a place from the past for me, as it used to be a Madison, Wisconsin gem for years before they took the plunge and came to Chicago. Come in here for quick service, and pizzas with a twist. I loved the chicken ranch and the steak & fries!!! Oh, and skip that Purgatory place down the street if it's between Ians and that crap hole. Like Ryan said, Burn in Hell, Purgatory.

There is this pizza place in my hometown that has a special place in my heart, and Ian's Pizza is like that pizza place's best friend who lives in Chicago...not as great but a very good replacement. I love pretty much everything about this place. * The location is about two blocks from my apartment so I can go there whenever I want. You can sit down and eat or bring it home. *The pizza slices are big, you can buy them individually, and they are inexpensive. So I can eat a meal for less than $5. *The pizza itself comes in all different type of crazy and not-so-crazy combinations. For example I've tried mac n cheese, frito pie, spicy chicken taco and then some. However, I've also enjoyed regular ol' sausage or veggie and it was just as enjoyable. *The pizza is delicious! *The staff is super cool and very customer service friendly, something I always appreciate. I am so happy that Ian's came into my life, it definitely gets the job done.

3.5 stars. Super friendly staff. Great location, right by the ballpark. Reasonable prices. Good selection. Maybe if I try more of the options it could be a 4 star, but I thought the slice I had was not as flavorful as the description and was heated a bit too long in the oven. Still, about as good an option for a pre game or post game (or heck, mid game) bite as there is near Wrigley.

Jamie F.

You can get a vegan pizza here, friends! Hooray! The variety is amazing. Many delicious topping choices. Very friendly, accommodating staff. I enjoy sharing a large pizza in the restaurant and maybe...maybe taking some home for excellent leftovers. Will go here time and again.

Last Saturday was National Vegan Pizza Day. In Los Angeles or New York I'm sure finding a vegan pizza restaurant is second nature. In Chicago, choices are very limited. I heard down the grapevine that Ian's Pizza in Wrigleyville (of all places!) began serving vegan pizza with local vegan company Chicago Soy Dairy. What was taking me so long to make a stop and try it? Well, most of my friends moan that it's "probably going to taste weird" and it wasn't usually served by the slice. Saturday, January 29 changed that. I finally made the decision to stop in and grab a full pizza. We called ahead of time to place our order and picked it up at about 8PM. Of course, the restaurant was slammed with bar crawlers devouring the popular macaroni n' cheese pizza. I was going cruelty free today! We picked up our pizza for a little over $10. It was a tempeh sausage pizza. Wow. I have to say that I was absolutely stunned by the pizza. It was wonderful. Vegan cheese can be an odd ingredient. Chicago Soy Dairy is the best option opposed to Daiya. The "sausage" was spicy and almost brought a tear to my as I was blasted my nostalgia of what sausage tasted like. I honestly am counting down the days to when I return. A major surprise and probably the best vegan pizza place to hit in the city. Well done!

Its fine. If you're in the neighborhood and drunk, its a feast. Otherwise why bother? Yeah, they have unusual slices that I've seen featured on the Food and Travel networks.....that have been sitting there too long and are tired tasting and dried out. Its a pizzeria. That has funky slices. The end. Its not some gourmet religious experience. Also, they don't have a lot of funky slices without meat. And the funky slices aren't that funky. Mac and Cheese. Tasty, but also bland. Pesto with portobello mushrooms. Yummy, but kind of oily. My boyfriend got a taco pizza. Tasted like a bunch of taco crap on some bread. Meh. If you're around, and you're drunk, and you're kinda simple, you'll think you're at the coolest place ever. If you are an adult that doesn't walk around wasted at 3pm on a Thursday in Wrigleyville with all the other drunks, there are better pizza places.

4 words. macaroni and cheese pizza. I love it. I went here with friends after a long night of drinking in Wrigley ville. I never seen such a long line @ 2am for pizza. simply, the 15 minute wait was well worth it. They have lots of different types of weird specialty pizza, so be sure to try them out.

It breaks my heart but I have to call you out Dimo's. I was a loyal customer but due to the absolutely terrible customer service, I no longer will be. I ordered a 12" vegan barbecue chicken pineapple pizza (which apparently doesn't exist) instead of the buffalo chicken pineapple pizza. Did the person taking the order ask if I knew the difference? NO. I ended up with a dry, thick, and unappetizing pizza that was nothing like what I had before. I called to see if I could have the situation remedied and was put on hold a number of times. Somehow, I got to overhear the employees yelling and arguing about the situation while insulting me. When the girl (Megan) got back on the phone she said they could give me half off my next order or she would pay for my next slice out of her own pocket. NO THANKS! Obviously, money is not the problem here. I told her I overheard what they were saying and she responded with, "omg, oops. I thought I put you on hold". Then she actually asked me if I was vegan or if I just liked vegan pizza! Seriously? Do I have something to prove here? The only reason I gave two stars is because of Gina; she's awesome and has a cool type of professionalism. Unlike Megan, who questioned my diet and ability to order a pizza. That's the last $11 I'll waste at Dimo's.

Samuel M.

What you need to know about Ian's: -One slice is large enough to feed you, but ordering 2 is worth the physical pain it will cause you -Do NOT under any circumstances order cheese, pepperoni, or sausage. The specialty options are well worth the extra $1 and any doubts you might have about whether the toppings belong on a pizza -Pasta on pizza = most pleasurable form of carbicide ever All in all, Ian's is an excellent addition to Wrigleyville. There's no longer any reason to miss an inning to wait for mediocre, overpriced food at Wrigley if you're in the area to watch a Cubs game, and this is perhaps the best imagineable drunk food on the planet if you're in the area to party. Check it out!

Maggie M.

Ah. Ian's I'm so inlove with you. My life in Wrigley would not be the same without you. Pizza- delicious (my fav is the pesto with the ravs), Staff- so patient with all the drunk people and incredibly kind, Place- clean and well organized to get you your slice ASAP. Thank you. Keep doin' what you're doin'. Pizza Slut for life.

I was one of Ian's biggest fans, so I had to check out Dimo's. Strike 1: they didn't have Mac and cheese pizza, in fact they only had about 4 options. Strike 2: my pizza had a fly on it.... Disappointed but I will give them another shot before they strike out.

Don K.

I pretty much feel like the guy breaking up with his longtime girlfriend, who uses the trite line, "it's me, honey, it's not you. Obviously you're a wonderful person." In fact, I think I gave this place 2 stars instead of 1 because I was intimidated by all of the 4 and 5 star reviews. On 6/29, with family in town and four decent Cubs tickets gifted to me by a company I do business with, I searched Yelp for a place near Wrigley for a quick bite before the game. Fantastic! I found Ian's, with more than 230 reviews, and a 4.5 star average. I knew it wasn't on Chicago Magazine's recent list of Chicagoland's 25 best pizzas, but hey, that writer must have just missed this place. So, our party of 4 got there. We even had our own 4 top. Now, full disclosure here - I love very crispy, very thin crust pizzas. My favorite crusts have their own personalities, and I like plenty of cheese and quality ingredients. My own favorites list, some of which were also chosen by Chicago Magazine, include Pizano's on State, Lou Malnati's thin, Pizzeria Via Stato, and Candlelite. And, in fairness to Ian's, I did read many of the reviews describing their crust as "limp", could be "folded", and "soft". So, I was warned, I just couldn't imagine that with a 4.5 average on Yelp, I wasn't going to enjoy this soft crust experience. Wrong! No problem with the atmosphere, which I actually liked. No problem with the staff, all of whom were extremely helpful and friendly. But, in the end, it just wasn't my kind of pizza. I have to say, I thought it was awful. Not just with a limp crust, but a completely flavorless crust, not unlike wet shirt cardboard (and yes, of course I am only imagining what wet shirt cardboard would taste like). I tasted a companion's mac and cheese, and didn't even think it was tasty mac and cheese as a stand alone dish. We ordered our own small bacon and green pepper pizza on which all of the ingredients, including the cheese, were microscopic in quantity. I tasted a pepperoni slice, and I thought the pepperoni lacked even a hint of flavor. Anyway, I won't go on. As I said at the beginning of this review, it's obviously me, not Ian's, and for sure not the 230+ Yelpers who gave this pizza place 4.5 stars. Certainly, a lot of people like a very soft crust, and I don't. Clearly, a lot of people think Ian's uses good ingredients on top, and I don't. But, as an occasional Yelper, and just like the umpires at the Cubs/Pirates game that night, I gotta calls 'em as I sees 'em.

Ian's is literally the only thing I am going to miss about living in Wrigleyville. Drunk, sober, or somewhere in between, this place is always a hit. Any establishment that encourages me to eat fries on a piece of pizza is a go in my book. Don't be intimidated by the wackiness of the flavor combinations or the number of options. These people know what they are doing - and they do it well (without breaking the bank).

Matt K.

I'm pretty sure the stretch of Clark between Addison and Roscoe is a good picture of what Hell is like, with the exception of Ian's Pizza (and the ghost of Wild Hare, R.I.P.) I've spent the last three years of my life vigorously becoming out of shape, so I don't eat here as much these days out of necessity for my well-being, but rest assured I still see each week's special pop up in my Twitter feed and drool at my desk on a regular basis. Most creative pizza I've ever had, and they rarely miss.

Scott C.

This review is for the pizza alone as we ordered from Ian's and had it delivered - meaning that I have no idea what the restaurant is like at all. Ian's was a suggestion to us based on their vegan pizza offering so we figured that we would give it a whirl. We ordered one vegan pizza and one regular cheese and sausage pizza. The cheese and sausage pizza was nothing to write home about, actually I'd put it one par with the slices of Connie's pizza you get at the United Center. That category would be "I like pizza, nothing else looks good, so I'll eat this." Same idea here - the sauce was so-so and the the crust was quite doughy. The vegan pizza was enjoyable. Our friend liked the flavor and the texture of the pizza. So, that's a plus for those of you looking for vegan pizza options. With so many other great Chicago pizza options available I don't think we'll be ordering from Ian's again.

Mike K.

It's pretty pathetic that an Englishman's pizza (Ian's) is better than an Italian's (Pauly's). Ay, Poo-awww-leee, back to the drawing board maybe? Anyway, Ian's is definitely fresher and better tasting than Pauly's. I tried the Mexican (or Tex-Mex?) pizza and loved it. I'll trudge the extra block south next time I'm hammered post-Cubs and want a slice. I'm bumping Ian's up to four stars. Ta, Ian's.

Any place that can sustain 4.5 stars after 250+ yelp reviews has got to be good! I like how each slice is on display and you can basically just point at what you want. MAC & CHEESE was not out for some reason but because of my very good yelp research i did while in the bar before we went, I knew exactly what to ask for! I can't believe people get normal pizza like pepperoni or sausage at this place. This place has some pretty cool stuff on pizza that you've gotta take advantage of. MAC & CHEESE is a MUST. Truly unique! Definitely will be returning for this! TORTELLINI pizza is also fun to try, but it needed more tortellini!

Christina M.

Ian's Pizza, located on a busy stretch of Clark St. in Wrigleyville, has some great options for vegans. They generally sell pizza by the slice, but since vegan pizza is a specialty item, you have to order a whole pizza. No big deal, because for $14 you can get a small pizza (looks more medium to me) with whatever toppings you'd like, that includes the vegan meats. They use Chicago Soydairy's Teese cheese, which apparently has been reformulated to melt and stretch similar to Daiya's vegan cheese. Although Teese has been upgraded, I felt it wasn't very flavorful and feel that Ian's can benefit by switching to Daiya, but that's my opinon. Overall my pizza was good. I will surely be back when I'm in the area. 3.5 Stars

I went to school in Madison, where Ian's owns the town. I used to order pizza without cheese regularly because it was convenient and comfortable and everyone else was doing it. Fast forward a few years and I hear that Ian's is in Chicago and uses vegan cheese? With local veg ingredients (Chicago Soy Dairy and Upton's)? Love! My favorite is the veg buffalo chix with olive oil base and teese mozzerella. I was told that they can make the infamous mac and cheese pizza vegan(???!!!) I feel like it will either be incredible or cardboard. Once I muster up the courage, I will share the results with the Yelp community. Until then vegans, unite and order Ian's veg pizza on the reg so that they will make the dairy free pie a regular offering alongside the other slices. Please :)

Lindsey B.

I've had a few different slices from here: regular cheese, beef taco, tortellini, loaded baked potato, and penne & sausage. Most of them were extremely delicious (esp the potato), but there's almost no way I could ever justify paying $3.50 a slice unless the slice weighs 4 pounds and is full of cream sauce, artichokes, and spinach a la Artichoke on 14th St. in NYC. These slices aren't even what I would consider "large." Good for a once in a while splurge, but come on, you could get a lot more pretty good food for that kind of money at other places.

John M.

Ian's pizza had been suggested to me by a friend who said that I had to try their macaroni and cheese pizza. Being the adventurer and lover of pizza that I am, I made my way to Ian's to give it a shot. Ian's sells by the slice which is nice, so I got a slice of the mac and cheese and a slice of the pepperoni. There seemed like there wasn't much seating, maybe enough room for 25 total, but I was able to find an open table. I tried the famous Mac and Cheese pizza first, and it wasn't half bad. The noodles on the pizza I felt were a little dry, but overall the pizza was light and tasty. I next tried the pepperoni and it was pretty good to, I think I was thrown off a little bit switching from the mac and cheese pizza back to a "normal" slice of pizza but I would say Ian's is decent. Not sure I would make a special trip there like I did this time, but If I was in the area again I wouldn't avoid it.

Awesome pizza. Very inventive flavors that taste great. The prices are a bit high but you get what you pay for...My family and I had some on a typically frigid day in late November or possibly December and everyone loved it... Plus, right now Ian's is in the news because they are helping to support the protests in Wisconsin against the attack on unions and public workers. Even the NYT says as much: "Scott Van Eggeren, a pizza lover who opposes Gov. Scott Walker's push to curb collective bargaining rights, hailed Ian's contribution to the cause. 'It's awesome,' said Mr. Van Eggeren, a water analyst in the State Department of Natural Resources, having just downed a macaroni and cheese slice. 'And the pizza is just great.'" Go Ian's!

One of my favorite pizza places in Chicago. Tons of specialty choices but they also have the old standbys if you desire those. And it's BYOB, what more can you ask for? Fresh Mozzarella Tomato Basil = yum Spicy Beef Taco = yum Just last night I had the fish taco pizza = very yum Mac n Cheese pizza (really the reason I started coming here) = yum yum yum And for dessert, try the Smores pizza So glad I live in Lakeview so Ian's is easier to get to.

Not sure why this isn't Ian's anymore, but it doesn't look like the pizza has changed. Wonder if they're completely independent of the Madison location now. This is definitely one of the best slice places in the city and being a block from Wrigley is pretty nice. They have some of the better pasta themed pizza's that I've had (mac and cheese; Tortellini). I've had pasta-themed pizzas that just seem like the pasta is made and plopped on the dough. Their pasta pizza's aren't too heavy and have just the right amount of pasta and sauce. I also really enjoy their latino-themed slices. Again, other places are a little too heavy on these types of pizza, whereas here they ingredients are just right. I generally stay away from their slices with potato or fries. These are a little heavy. They're not bad, it's just I would rather get them at Crust or the Pizza Metros. There's also nothing special about their more traditional slices. The actual crust is good, but a slice with pepperoni or just sausage is a little bland. It would feel a little anti-climatic to go here and get one of these slices.

The Wrigleyville branch definitely has its own feel, while also staying true to the Ian's name. For example, the restaurant is painted in traditional bright Red, with the lovable Ian's Pizza pie logo. But, they pay homage to their proximity to the Cubs and include a baseball in the logo. One not-so-pleasant difference between this location and the Madison one is the music. They prefer to play loud, weird stuff. Not the best when you're trying to yell your order to a worker with lots of people around. They have some cool regional varieties of pizza that Madison doesn't have, my favorite being S'mores pizza. When I went with my friend Felicia, we both got two slices, which we agreed was more than filling. I grabbed a slice of a chicken parmesan and a piece of S'mores pizza to add a dessert. The chicken parmesan featured rigatoni noodles with chicken and delicious cheese. It was cooked to perfection and tasted awesome. They made the S'mores pizza while I waited (it only took about 14 minutes), so I got it when it was nice and fresh. With toasted marshmallow, bits of graham cracker, chunks of hershey chocolate bars and a nice drizzle of chocolate syrup, it was amazing. The end of the crust was a little overcooked, but that was a small worry, as the rest of the pizza was freckin' sweet. Overall, I am pleased that there is an Ian's branch to serve my homesickness when it gets really bad. Nothing is the same as the one in downtown Madison, but this is a nice alternative!

Vegan pizza...yum! Great options, both with and without vegan cheese!

I've been there a few times, and their MAC AND CHEESE pizza is sooooo good. I was a little nervous to try it, but I'm so glad that I did because it was amazing! The only complaint that I have is that it is sometimes confusing to order because they have all the pizzas lined up and you can see the crazy toppings on them, but unless it is something really noticeable (like mac and cheese) it is hard to distinguish between the different types. I think it would be good if they could throw up little ID cards or something once they put the pizza on display... Despite everything, I love this place, and the pizza is very good!

Brian P.

Indeed mac and cheese pizza with *honey* on top is the way to go. I was introduced to this by a friend who knew the place well in college. There are some really unique choices here and I won't hesitate to go back! It will cheer you up, as other people have commented, and truthfully, it's in a great area where you can sample this place drunkenly or casually.
(4)
Steve G.

definitely not good either... A star for the staff being really friendly, but the pizza is just not good. I mean seriously, it absolutely sucks.... They have unusual variations such as, taco, cheezeburger, etc, but it's nothing more then a gimmick pizza place with sub-par ingredients. Some of the pizza flavors were actually kind of gross, and this is coming from someone who loves any pizza. The pizza literally taste like I made it at home with leftovers in the fridge.... Also, not very filling at all, as the crust is paper thin, with thin toppings. I'm not a big person, and I could easily eat a large on my own. I live a few blocks west of this place, and the people that keep this place afloat are drunk tourist, transplants from Michigan and suburbans who don't know what else is around.

Great pizza! The toppings are creative and very tasty. It is priced reasonably for being so close to Wrigley. The fact its BYOB is also great for before or after a game.

Is it sacrilegious to order a pizza with *NORMAL* toppings from Ian's? I get it, I love their mac & cheese pizza too. But sometimes a girl just craves a slice of mushroom and pep. A slice that a girl can fold in half and eat 3 of. Before you ask me why I would buy a normal pizza from Ian's, I'll tell you that I've been searching high and low for some NY-style slices in Chicago for a very very long time. And Ian's comes the CLOSEST to replicating the chewy crispy dough...and the perfectly thin but not TOO floppy slices of pizza with the right balance of cheese, sauce, & bread. So yes, Ian's has some awesomely weird pizzas, but if you're an ex-East Coaster like me who misses the large slices of NY, order from Ian's!

Amanda D.

While in Madison a few months ago a friend took us to Ian's after a night out. Slight problem... I've been obsessed ever since. The good news is that the Ian's on Clark is just the same! Macaroni and Cheese has been my favorite meal since I was a kid, so I'm pretty much a one trick pony when it comes to Ian's. Yes, it 's something to get used to but it's so creamy and cheesy! Yumm! I have also tried a few others with meat and different toppings and they were just as good. Looking for a fabulous thin crust? Head to Ian's!

Debbie H.

My friend and I were contemplating on ordering some deep dish or regular pan pizza. Then, my friend told me she knew of a place that wasn't as heavy as deep dish but had lot of variety. So, we looked at Ian's Pizza menu and knew Ian's already won us over when we saw the Mac n Cheese pizza. So, we ordered a whole Mac n' Cheese pizza and 1/2 BBQ Chicken and 1/2 Onions and Green Peppers. We managed to finish both pizzas, give or take once slice... But it was well worth the money and calories. The Mac n Cheese pizza wasn't too rich and had the perfect amount of cheese. My friend isn't really a fan of BBQ chicken, but the BBQ chicken for me was so delicious! They were really generous with the amount of veggies! I definitely will be ordering Ian's again, especially after a snow storm!

Learm about this place here in Yelp and no regrets at all!!! Great pizza and an amazing and different variety!! Loved the red peppers, spinach and Portobello...do you deliver? Good size slices, very clean (important), and friendly staff, Visited the place twice. It will definitely become a mandatory stop on my Chicago trips!

Dabney, B.

Well, I don't have a whole lot to say here. I absolutely LOVE this place, but know very little if anything about it. One day I'll get here at a time outside of the faded 2AM - 5AM window. I know as much about the layout of Ian's as I know abut the room in which you're reading this review. Nada. But I know I love it because at least one Saturday and or Sunday morning I walk out and see an empty Ian's box for a slice sitting on the kitchen counter. Two if I brought my A Game the night before ;-) I remember a decade ago it was aluminum foil in a brown paper bag crumpled up with little pieces of steak scattered about with a reminder of the damage I had done the previous night. Seems of late, I've gone 100% Ian's. How do I always find myself there in the middle of the night? I can honestly tell you I don't plan it up front, but something keeps bringing me back. When I go there at reasonable hour, I'll tell you more. But this place clearly holds the title in my household when it comes to late-night Wrigleyville eating establishments. If you want an excellent thin crust Chicago pizza, this is your best bet (I think)! Trust me. Thanks Ian's, keep up the good work!

Shenelle B.

Ian's Pizza is my favorite pizza place! If you are looking for unique pizza then this is the place to go. My favorite pizza that I love to order is the mac n cheese, buffalo chicken with blue cheese sauce and the guacamole pizza yummmmmmm! I love the fact that you can order by the slice, that way you can try multiple pizza combination without feeling like you have to by whole pizza with one topping or half and half combo. I usually buy 3 slices and just go crazy with them. I am a fan of great customer service, so if you are looking for friendly servers that will be patient with you will you while you drool and ponder over what pizza to get, then this is the place for you. This restaurant is defiantly a treat!

Not only is the pizza great but they have a consistently friendly/helpful staff. I'll keep going back because of this alone.

Lopa P.

MAC AND CHEESE PIZZA! I think the creme fraiche is what takes it to the next level. I eat mine with hot sauce and BBQ sauce. Might sound weird, I know, but just try it. Being open late is always a plus, and the prices are reasonable.
(5)
Carolynne M.

Thank you, Ian's for bucking the Chicago tradition and serving up a pizza with a REAL crust. Now, I realize its not New York or New Haven style, but any crust that has a bit of a flop to it and is chewy rather than crackery is aces in my book. It's a little strange though, for some reason your pizza is only good hot from the oven? We took some home and I tried a piece cold (which is my favourite way to eat pizza btw) and it just wasn't good. Flavours were off, crust was heavy and too dense - how odd! Not since an unfortunate encounter with a day old D'Giorno have I been this taken aback and displeased. I do like your fancy ingredient options, I will definitely be back for pizza. Your salads, eh, large enough to feed two but the Greek wasn't anything special or different from any Greek salad at any cheapy pizza place.
(4)
Evan S.

Wide variety of pizza. Their thin crust is a rendition of New York style pizza; pretty good for a Chicago joint! I'm not a huge fan of the macaroni pizza though. I feel it's a little more hype than honest. If Mac n' Cheese pizza was so great, everyone would be doing it. I'll get it again
(3)
Kate T.

Yay for vegan pizza by the slice! Sadly it's only on Thursdays. Try the spicy seitan chicken. For the vegan cheezes, I recommend the mozzarella. It tends to melt better than the cheddar.
(4)
Chris C.

This place is a heck of a lot of fun. I come here when I'm feeling decadent, or when I've had a really bad day. Its great to come in here and find out what surprises they have waiting for me. The only problem is the bizarre mixtures of ingredients don't usually sit well with me. But knowing that in advance, its not too much of a problem. The pizza itself is of a very good quality as well. Really not much else to say, go check it out if you are looking for something different!
(4)
vanessa m.

Pretty great! I had the mac and cheese w/some hot sauce and it was amazing! Also had the mushroom red pepper which was really good too. Nice thin, slightly crispy crust. The counter manager guy was really helpful and cheerful. Honestly good customer service goes a loooong way. I went Friday around 2 (non cubs day) and it was nice and quiet inside. Lastly, even though i'm not a veg-it's still really nice to have a lot of vegetarian options. I guess they have a vegan night once a week which seems like a great option for those out there with more self control than I may ever posses. A+

Molly R.

Ian's gets extra points from me for selling good-tasting pizza by the slice. I'm a commitment phob - I don't want to be committed to just one pizza, and selling by the slice allowed me to try multiple flavors; a mac 'n' cheese slice + a feta, spinach, and portobello slice. Sometimes pizza sold by the slice can taste terribly reheated, but Ian's didn't for some reason. The mac 'n' cheese may sound bizarre, but it's a really solid tasty pizza. TRY IT! The crust was perfectly crunchy throughout the body of the pizza and the carb-on-carb dynamic of the slice worked surprisingly well. However, I can't give this pizza five stars bc I couldn't help but think the pizza had an overall undeveloped flavor. It might be A+ worthy w/ some spice or a more complex cheesy topping (gorgonzola?). The portobello slice further reduced Ian's rating; soggy body crust topped w/ cheaper tasting ingredients. Still good and extra points for the feta, but by no means gourmet tasting. Overall, I would say Ian's is what it is, and it is delicious - it's well priced and offers unusual pizza combinations in a low key atmosphere - but derives much of its yummy-ness from a heavy hand. BYO!

Shanna B.

Okay so I see that I'm a little late in discovering the drunken blessing that is Ian's - but mac n cheese pizza??? I mean, MAC N CHEESE PIZZA??!?!!!! My two favorite ooey gooey cheesey fat kid foods combined?! ::sigh:: foodgasm! Although my tongue is angry that I've only just discovered this amazingness (that's been right in front of my face in my own neighborhood no less), my hips are grateful I'm sure. My friends chose Steak & Fries pizza for their 2am fix, but who cares. Mac n Cheese pizza, guys! The Pesto/Spinach/Feta slices looked really good too. $3.50ish for slices as big as the plate itself is a bonus! Can't wait to go back and indulge in a ridiculous way
(5)
Marie B.

I came here specifically to have the mac and cheese pizza. It was not as weird-tasting as I expected it would be, and ended up getting it the second time I went as well. I also tried their buffalo chicken pizza which was more "normal" but quite good. There are several other concoctions I'd like to try. While I prefer either thin crust or deep dish to the more New York-style crust used on most pizzas here, it's definitely a great place to grab a quick, economical meal.

TJ F.

Excellent pizza, it's one of my favorites in the city for a slice. Delivery can take a really long time so I only dine in or pick up. Sooooooooo good!

Heather R.

I LOVE IAN'S!!! It's tasty, creative, and affordable. I've yet to get a pizza slice I didn't like and the slices are big. You definitely get what you pay for. The staff is friendly and it's always clean. It's always packed when I go with not a lot of seating, but fortunately I've always gotten a seat. It is, by far, the best place to people watch in Chicago---especially on Friday and Saturday nights. Seriously. I'm a Pizza Slut for life!
(4)
Robin W.

Vegan new york style pizza...oh yes! The large size is pretty expensive, but the smaller 12 inch is perfect for two, only $14 bucks, great crispy crust, and you get tons of premium vegan toppings including Mozza Teese, Yeves Pepperoni, and Uptons Seitan Sausage. I love the way this place runs...they are totally on the customer's side, glad to have your business and most importantly, they are open late! I reaaaaaaalllly really hope they open another location in wicker park or uk village, so I can get delivery instead of trekking all the way up there!

Monica G.

Went to Dimo's, formerly Ian's, for the first time since the updates last night. I can tell you, nothing much has changed. Staff are still friendly and fast, food is great. They told me the story of how dimo's has come to be, even have flyers describing what happened. I'm so relieved my favorite pizza in Chicago is still reliable and delicious.
(5)
Amy H.

Ian's Pizza is the greatest. As a Madison transplant, I honestly rated proximity to Ian's as a perk during my apartment hunt last year. The pizza is fantastic and usually worth the battle through a sea of Clark street bros. My all-time favorite pizza is the Spicy Chicken Taco. Oh. My. God. A perfect blend of cheese, chicken, spice and magic on top of a mysteriously perfect crust. Other highlights include the Buffalo and Barbecue chicken slices. To top it off, staff is always friendly, talkative and willing to whip up any slice you request. Go to Ian's. It's inexpensive, fresh, delicious pizza with a sense of humor.
(5)
Tammy H.

They get one star taken away because they're not open on Mondays. I really want them to be open on Mondays. Otherwise, their pizza has never disappointed me, but I of course have my favorites (philly and mac and cheese)! Every now and then I get adventurous. The S'mores pizza should also make more appearances. It makes for a good second slice. Mmm. What's your favorite?
(4)
Jisha A.

If you've never had Mac 'n cheese ( my personal fav now) or pasta/lasagna on a slice of pizza, I do recommend hitting Ian's Pizza. There's always something different to try out. They even have a dessert pizza with brownies and oreo cookies. Gets crowded if you're heading out there at the end of a Cubs game or any event at Wrigley Field. Staff's quite friendly.

Dustin B.

I moved to Wrigleyville in July 2008. One of the first places I stumbled upon to eat was this new Pizza joint just 1 block south of Wrigley. I can say I have eaten there about 50 times and love the BBQ Chicken Pizza. These guys get Pizza and know how to deliver a great product. Keep up the great work and try Ian's
(5)
Erin K.

Boy, oh, boy! What an idea! Mixing various things I love (like Mac'n'Cheese) with pizza (which I also love) - ingenious! I've been here a few times and always look forward to my next visit. The selection is always changing and always delicious. Plus its just all around good pizza. Its a busy spot so there's typically a line but it's pretty well designed and moves pretty fast. One complaint on that though is they expect you to order immediately upon reaching the counter. Which is good and helps keep the line moving, but also that is your first chance the view the pizzas. And they aren't listed anywhere! How are you supposed to know what's available?? Anyway, its open late and that's always a perk. Pizza, especially by the slice is always better after a night on the town- wink, wink. However, do beware. If you go late at night. There's a good chance 90+% of the patrons will be blacked out. So be prepared to be a bit annoyed if you, yourself haven't endulged quite so thoroughly. But it'll still be well worth it! Enjoy! :)

gennifer g.

Easily the best pizza in Chicago! Oh and did I mention you can get VEGAN pizza here?? Yum! Choices of faux meats, veggies, noodles, and vegan mozz or cheddar! YUM! However, it is kind of pricey and they don't have vegan slices. Oh and pretty much everyone that goes in there is a typical wrigleyville douche so it's awesome for people watching! ...and BYOB!

Phil X.

I'm in Wrigleyville. I'm leaving the bar (not by choice). I'm hungry. I'm craving BBQ Chicken Pizza. To my dismay, the pizza joint across the street is closed. I see a place called Ian's Pizza with a crowd of drunkards surrounding it. I enter... Barbeque Steak & Fries Pizza. Wow. What a slice of heaven! Tasty indeed! The place was crowded. I ate standing over a table with no chairs. I didn't even care. The BBQ Steak & Fries Pizza had me at hello. They had other non-traditional pizza's such as Mac'n'Cheese, Taco, and with Buffalo Chicken! Pizza by the slice! Get some!!!

An P.

Being the most well-versed in Wrigleyville fare and having Yelped up and down the block for several years, an executive decision was made and Ian's Pizza became our target. I was relieved that the 6pm crowd was much less brutal than the 2am or 3am crowd with alcohol seeping out of their pores and violence ready to break out at the drop of an insult to one's mother or one's most favored team. With the line of pizzas in sight, my focus was on grabbing the last slice of Smokey the Bear, Ian's signature sausage, bacon, french fry and barbecue sauce pizza slice while my other friends grabbed some mac n' cheese slices. Usually I help myself to one of these magical pieces, but a new piece of pie caught my eye and I dived into a slice of omelette / hash brown pizza featuring egg, bacon, potato and cheese with barbecue sauce. One of the finer aspects of Ian's Pizza is that it is a wholly solid piece of pie. The slices can be picked up and they won't flop all over the table or spill toppings down onto the paper plates. We ate and filled ourselves on pizza while working on rehydration to ensure survival into the wee hours of the night.

Julia R.

Yuuuuuummmmmm! Split slices of pizza so I tried three - mac n cheese, chicken taco, and tortellini. All were pretty awesome but tortellini was my favorite. Let's just say I'll be craving this pizza till I get back there - and excited to try some more! Yuuuuummmmmm again! AND recently went back - tried the carne asada. yum yum yum. I just think you cannot go wrong here! I tried little nibbles of all of my friend's pizza when we were here too - probably 4 more kinds - all awesome! Always look forward to being in the Ian's vicinity!

Jennifer B.

I went to Yelp's Winterscape Elite party, and unassumingly walked over to the "pizza spot." I tasted a piece of the the mac n' cheese pizza, thereby waking me up from my simple cheese pizza slumber into a world I have not known.....Ian's! Less than 24 hours later I was at Ian's pizza place on Clark, trying to decide between a slice of the Southwestern taco pizza or a piece of the chicken rigatoni pizza! Who knew such wonderful combinations could be created? Did God himself whisper in Ian's ear, "Creativity my son......" or something? Whatever the case, I feel like a better person for having tried these pizzas. My party tried a variety of slices, and by far my favorite was the spinach and roma tomato. Healthy(er) and great tasting! Thank you Ian!

Grabbed a couple slices after the cubs game This pizza is awesome! What stands out is top quality ingredients and diverse offerings. I love the specials which are always changing. If only I could spend more time in Chicago to get more Ian's.

Patrick G.

I had the pleasure of experiencing Ian's Pizza tonight. Whenever I come to a place I know will receive a disproportionate size of my weekly paycheck and contribute to my growing waistline, I find the experience bittersweet. After salivating over a dozen eclectic pizzas that ranged from mac n' cheese and taco to tortellini, I settled on the steak and fries variety. It was probably one of the best slices of pizza I've had since moving to Chicago. Cheese, steak, french fries, barbecue sauce on a thin crust... I'm sad the slices are so big because I wanted to try them all. However, I remain confident I will accomplish such a task in the next month or so... The second best part behind the actually pizza is that a gigantic slice and can of soda is only five dollars with tax. This place is unbeatable.
(5)
Aaron B.

The best, most mouthwatering Chicago deep dish pizza? Not a chance! Cheap and extraordinarily creative pizza by the slice? You betcha! ------------ What do I mean by creative? Try the macaroni and cheese pizza or the the Philly cheese steak pizza; they're delicious!

Jessi M.

I am an Ian's Pizza official Pizza Slut. I have the t-shirt. I'm going to grad school in Madison next year. I cheer for the Badgers in my sleep. I plan to continue to fill punch card after punch card for my free slices come August... and for now, I can keep biking a few scary blocks down Clark into the heart of Wrigleyville to get my fix. You cannot go wrong with anything with pasta on it and/or their weekly specials. That being said, I've never had a slice I didn't love, and if you are truly rendered indecisive by the sheer amazingness of options, ask the cool people behind the counter because they speak utter truth (I'm looking at you, hot Ian's employee man with the piercing... watch me get you more tips!) And, the weirder it sounds, the better it probably tastes. Oh goddamn I just love it here. I only wish they had Sprecher's soda like their big siblings in WI. Also, some drunk douchebag frat boys stole an empty bag out of the back of my bike locked out front once while I watched... hope they had fun with that. Thankfully inside Ian's is generally a bastion of sanity.

Lawrence Y.

300th review and it's a good one: I came here last weekend and got their "today only" special: the Rodeo. It was a tough decision between that and two other slices, but I'm glad I chose it. It was like a western bacon cheeseburger explosion extravaganza in my mouth (steak, onion rings, bacon, etc)! MMMM.
(5)
Jeremy G.

Sooo good!! The other reviews speak for themselves. I enjoy this place drunk AND sober - so it's legit. The variety is awesome, and there is a weekly special that keeps it interesting. Won't ramble on just cuz I don't wanna be redundant. But it's very good. So go.

marisa s.

OMFG mac 'n cheese on a pizza? hells yeah. quick slices...thin NY style...creative toppings. you had me at hello. (if you're in madison, WI...check out the original location. usually filled with drunken wisco kids when the bars close)

Sharon G.

oh.my .god. Best (and I'm pretty sure the only???) vegan pizza in Chicago. Not only do they carry vegan cheese, but mock meats as well! Not a huge fan of the pepperoni...there's better pepperoni mocks out there...but the sausage is fantastic *heart* thank you Ians.

Vanessa U.

Mac & Cheese pizza -- this is really all you need to know. But, I could also tell you that they have vegan and gluten-free slices, friendly staff, and a fun environment. Also that they're only a few blocks away from where I work, so chances are good I'm going to gain some weight this Summer. That's okay, for Mac & Cheese pizza, it's well worth it.
(5)
Katherine H.

There are so many great things about Ian's, but the absolute best is Vegan By The Slice Thursdays! I haven't tried a pizza that I didn't like at Ian's and I swear my husband tries to think up every excuse in the book to eat here. This is the perfect spot after a late night out. The only downside is that they are packed after Cubs games and on weekends.
(5)
Jesse S.

Got looked at a little weird for ordering just a slice of cheese, but, whaddya gonna do? That's what I wanted at the time. I'll definitely go back for one of the more flavorful, unique options, but, it was late, I was hungry, and, I was not drunk enough for anything more complicated than a slice of cheese. Well, that slice did not disappoint. I can't stand the deep dish nonsense Chicago tries to pass off as pizza, so I was pleased as punch to be able to fold this slice in half and chow down when I popped in with some buddies after a comedy show the other week. Nom nom nom. Yeah, you gotta dodge the drunk assholes, but it's a rare opportunity to watch girls who on other occasions are likely to do as much in their power to be considered "hot" as possible get all sexy sexy with a piece of doughy goodness in their pie holes. (Actually, I find this pretty disgusting, but if there are any weird food fetishist people out there, you might want to consider coming here around 1 or so in the morning to see some fully uninhibited chicks make nice with their munchies. Bet if you had an extra slice waiting in a to-go container as you catch them on their way out the door, you might have a shot with them. Though this is Wrigleyville, after all, so, you might not need the slice.) Thanks Ian's, for hooking me up with a big, floppy, cheesy slice. I'll be back.

Dan H.

Very few weekends go by where I don't stumble into Ian's for some Mac n Cheese pizza... or the BBQ Chicken Pizza... or the Taco pizza (at least, I think I order taco pizza, it's usually 3:00 in the morning and I'm the Mayor of Blackout City). I've never had Ian's in a state of sobriety (or during daylight event), but if you're looking for a good late-night snack after the bars, find Ian. He's good people.

michele b.

Oh my!!! Great price and finally, A SOLIDLY good NY-style pizza!!! Crust is chewy, tomato sauce is fresh tasting, and cheese not overly greasy. SOLID!

Jacques M.

Believe the hype people! Sorry deep dish fans, but Ian's belong in the conversation for best pizza in Chicago. A 4 1/2 star yelp rating is pretty impressive and deserved. Be warned the Mac & Cheese Pizza is extremely addictive, once you have had you will never be able to pass Ian's again without ordering it. It never ceases to amaze me how restaurants can make an unhealthy dish even worse for you, why not add Mac and Cheese on a foot long slice of Pizza? They have several other (somewhat bizarre) flavors of Pizza. I'm still waiting for the slice that features a cream filled donut on top (hey it could happen people). Ian's is your waist lines worst enemy, but possibly your taste buds best friend.
(4)
Jose E.

Chicago deep dish is always near and dear to my heart, and maybe as literal as I would like it to be. But the toppings and variety served on the thin crust here is EPIC!! I want to write more about what they do here, but I'll take the lazy route this time and let the place and its followers do the work for me. Thanks Ian's for doing something amazing to pizza.

i just went here for the first time last night. How is that possible? I've walked by it a million times and never gone in. In fact, I usually get a slice from Pizza-Ria (or whatever it's called now). NEVER EVER AGAIN! I might make special trips to Wrigleyville for this place. It is soo good. Unique slices of thin crust pizza, weekly specials that are pretty sweet (I had a beef stew pizza and it was pretty damn good), and it's under $10. boioioioioiing.

fast, friendly, no frills, byob (although it's all counter service)... creative... maybe a little TOO creative... pizzas of the day included chicken cordon bleu, mac n cheese, lasagna, philly cheese steak, pb and banana, etc. we tested the mac n cheese, feta/spinach/pesto and philly cheese steak. i can personally talk to the first 2 - flavorful but a bit salty and a bit... too much. i appreciate ian's for trying to stand-out from your regular pizza-by- the-slice-joints with their unusual toppings but, with that comes sacrificing perfecting the staples: sauce and crust. it's "fun" pizza, a definite must try, but this pizza snob will stick to the basics.

I figured that Ian's Pizza was just another generic pizza place, churning out boring pizza by the slice to legions of drunk Cubs fans. Then one of my friends told me about their Mac N Cheese Pizza. Holy. Crap. The restaurant was just as I had imagined - annoying music not completely drowning out annoying customers. But the menu was not as standard. Along with the Mac & Cheese pizza were a number of very unique pizzas - I'd like to try them all sometime. However, after the first slice of Mac & Cheese there was only one slice that I was interested in having - another slice of Mac & Cheese. And I can even avoid the nose bleed inducing atmosphere (although the staff were great) because they deliver by the slice - and have gloriously late hours.

lets just say I own a very wonderful st. patrick's day "Ian's pizza slut "shirt. It is the only food/restaurant type place that I have bought an article of clothing from so that is saying something. what you need to know: - it ain't fancy, i dont' think I would have ever gone unless someone brought me since I didn't understand the amazing-ness of the pizza here. - it is just as good or better when sober vs. a stop in after the cubs game. - Don't be afraid to ask what the kinds are! they are super nice and a slice that looks strange may turn out to be the best slice you ever had. - if you want mac and cheese and don't see it- ask. (sometimes they have it on the super secret second shelf. - Be adventurous! - my favorite slices: spicy chicken taco, buffalo chicken, smores. oh yes, I said smores- once you have it you will know:) if you get plain pizza here you are missing out (for the record I have never had a regular slice from here!)

I am having a hard time describing this pit-za - it was good, but not memorable. We got 2 flavors - sausage pepperoni, and tomato spinach artichoke. The meat dish was flavorful, pretty good. The veggies... kinda boring really, very bland. Did we just get the wrong toppings? Or is it because we ordered delivery at 7pm, and were not drunk and slobbering yet? Crust was good, but I wish it was more crunchy and less limp. It did the trick for satisfying my pit-za craving, but I don't know that I will go there again. Unless there are some crazy topping suggestions like I've now seen on yelp. Going to keep hitting new places until we find that unforgettable pie!

Oh Ian's I love you so much it's almost inappropriate. When I get out of work at Redmond's at some bizarre hour - I can always count on you to have some amazing pizza that may or may not involve pasta ready to heat up so I can stuff it in my face. And your mac 'n cheese pizza is the bomb diggity. ...Yes I DID just type that.

forgot what i had but this place is pretty good!!!!!! seems like everyone comes here after a night of drinking, and they open pretty late so it's perfect. a bit small but it moves quickly and smoothly.

I hate Wrigleyville. I'll do my best to keep those feelings out of this review, but it's hard. I first went to Ian's in Madison, WI., and their Ian's location is much cooler AND with fewer douchebags. The pizza is still really good though - fun toppings and big slices. There was hardly any seating, though, and the people working there weren't great.

Deborah W.

Decided to try this place based on the reviews here. We had a pepperoni & sausage pizza delivered - and, of course, had to try a slice of the Mac & Cheese. Delivery was fairly quick. The pizza, however, was - as others here have mentioned, VERY doughy where you couldn't even pick it up without a mess. I love doughy bread, but this was undercooked. The Mac & Cheese was definitely good to try, but not something I would want all the time. The raw dough though...uggh...makes me afraid to try this place again.

jenise r.

A pal told me about Mac & Cheese pizza a few weeks ago, I couldn't even imagine it honestly. Then I wondered why I was never told about this place before? I initially though we had to order a whole pizza-which was fine by me! We walk in and I couldnt believe they had it by the slice! We had to wait about 10 minutes for ours because it was being baked but that was fine with us. Nice and fresh. I also noticed a lasagna pizza and a tortellini pizza really caught my eye. My slice was perfect, the crust somehow tasted buttery the mac and cheese was really good and I can't wait to eat it again. I can only imagine mac & cheese with bacon..... I'm glad I have a friend that lives a few blocks away from here, I see us ordering from here soon. Very soon.

THIS REVIEW IS FOR IAN'S PIZZA. I'VE NEVER HAD DIMO'S PIZZA, AND YELP TRANSFERRED ALL OF IAN'S REVIEWS TO DIMO'S. I gotta agree with Nancy X. I thought this place was good, but not "holy god damn" amazing like Katja L. I too, was a little disappointed with the Mac and Cheese Pizza. It was bland. I could taste a little of the cheese, but it wasn't the knock-out awesomeness like everyone said it was. It was literally like how you think Mac and Cheese on a pizza would taste. Meh. I also had a slice of the BBQ Steak and Fries, which was OK as well. The steak didn't have much taste at all, and the fries tasted a little weird on the pizza because they were kind of dried out. So essentially, I was eating cheese pizza with a drizzling of BBQ sauce -- it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't exactly what I was expecting or craving. Crust was very good though. Crispy on the outside, chewy and flavorful on the inside. I did find the size of the slices adequate, but not HUGE like others have said. Two slices did it for me, and if you factor in a can of pop, it set me back about $8 -- not the best deal in the world. I might go back here after a late night of drinking on Clark because it's decent pizza and better than Pizza Ria and some of the other options nearby, but will I seek out this place just for their pizza on a sober basis? Much to the displeasure of the UW alumni, I'm going to have to pass.

DISCLAIMER: I WAS DRUNK WHEN I ATE HERE So I reserve the right to edit this review after eating here sober. But I'm pretty confident that my taste buds, even when inebriated, know a good pizza from a bad one. Hence I feel good in declaring that Ian's pizza is FANTASTIC. I have to admit that like many Chicagoans I am very over the whole deep dish thing. So much so that I cringe when visitors come to town, knowing that they'll inevitably want to ingest this artery-clogging, afternoon-killing meal. Truth be told I much prefer a nice NY-style or thin crust pizza for a light lunch, snack, 4th meal, whatever. Enter Ian's. I got a slice of the BBQ chicken pizza and the chicken parmasean pizza and both were wonderful. The crust was perfect, the sauces were perfect, and there were just the right amount of toppings. I'll definitely be back! Hell, I might even go sober.

I can't begin to explain how excited I was to hear Ian's was opening up in Chicago. The wait is finally over! Ian's recently opened in Wrigleyville with a bang by giving out free pizza the night before its official opening. Ian's Pizza is delicious New York style pizza, straight from Madison, WI. It was always packed before and after Kohl center events, and at bar time. This Ian's is for sure going to be packed before and after Cubs game. The most popular slice was the Mac n Cheese, which is really good. My personal favorites are Tomato Pesto, Mushroom Pesto and the Chicken Burrito. For the less adventurous, there is cheese or pepperoni as well. Yea for Ian's!!

Katie R.

I tried four different slices (cut down the middle with a friend) and out of the 4, three were solidly delicious. In order of tastiness: 1)Macaroni & Cheese - brilliant. It's cheesy, noodle-y and pizza-y. I would have eaten this and only this, happily. I want it right now thinking about it. Comfort food to the extreme. 2)Noodles + cheese + chicken + alfredoy sauce. I have no idea what this pizza was, but it looked good and tasted really good. 3)Caprese. Fresh tasting. And for march I was happily surprised by the quality of the tomatoes on it. 4)Potatoes + bacon + ranch + cheese + barbecue. This should have been really brilliant, but I think they just need to scrap the barbecue. It overtook the whole pizza and the thing just ended up tasting smokey. Not all that tasty. A fun experience - I really hope this place makes it...

Matthew E.

Mac n cheese and pizza what a genius concept. Who would have thought two of my favorite comfort foods would blend so well together. The cheddar cheese, the curly noodles, the pizza crust......together they are absolutely divine and instantly you understand why this is their number one pizza. I also got the Chicken Penne Alfredo, definitely not as good but still delicious. My only complaint on this one was the actual chicken was oddly fried and didn't taste fresh. I think I'd try something else the next time around.

Amy R.

Here is the thought process of whoever founded Ian's pizza. (I'm going to take a wild stab and say his name is Ian): "You know what I love? Buffalo chicken. And pizza. Ooh, and crab rangoon. But I really love pizza. Oh, and steak and fries! And pizza. Hey, let's put it all on a pizza! I am a mad genius!" Yes, yes you are. Imagine every comfort food/altered state food you love, and slap it on a slice. I actually went there sober (gasp!) and it was still delicious. I was actually not that impressed with the mac and cheese, but maybe the sobriety had something to do with that. PS: They're BYOB! If this place had a hot tub, I think it would be Heaven.

Matthew P.

YA BABY this pizza is way num yummy!. For some reason it tastes even better when i'm totally F'ed up on Rum and Diets. My favorite pizza is the Chicken Parm. I would have to say my favorite part is pulling out cash to pay and my GF pulls out 5 stamped cards. She said "You would be surprised how many times we actually come here hammered". Love it!

Liz W.

Yummy in my tummy. Every time I'm in Wrigley I wanna come here and try the pizza, all the drunken foos have the same idea as me. The past weekend there was barely a line at 2:30am. Score!! It was the day I would try Ian's. Sooo many unique choices. I chose the buffalo chicken and something with bacon and bbq sauce. I can't remember. The buffalo chicken was good, but the bacon pizza was awesome. I am taking off a star because they had a water fountain were you can get a cup of water. That water was warm and disgusting. Somebody should really look into that. Anytime I'm in Wrigley I'll make sure to come here.

Sandy H.

I've been looking for good non-stuffed pizza in Chicago. And, on the way to another pizza place on the same block, I passed by Ian's and was drawn in by the well-lit red interior, clean graphics and the fact that it shortened the walk to get late night food by half a block. The Space: Clean, red, brightly lit. Fun artwork on the walls. Plenty of tables and chairs. They could use a counter along one of the walls. The Food: The only pizzas ready to go were strange varieties of ingredients. I just wanted a pepperoni. So, it required a short wait, but at least it was hot and fresh! Perfect crust - thin and chewy. Not doughy. Not crackly. The Service: Good. Nothing worth mentioning good or bad.

Leah J.

Unusual concoctions. Fries, BBQ sauce and steak? Mac and cheese? Sliced potatoes and ranch? Whatever was on that pizza, it was good. It was almost like topping my pizza with a side, be it potato salad or the mac & cheese. This would be great for that person who likes to smear their sectioned plate together until all the food is a big plate of mush salad. $3.75 for a decent slice. If your not that adventorus, Bacci's offers a bigger slice for $5 and change. The service was quick, as the pizza was sitting under the heat lamps waiting to be ordered. A quick pop in the oven by the cashier was all it took. The boys behind the counter reminded me of characters you would find in Pinneapple Express. They were down to earth guys who welcomed back the local customer. Kudos for that.

Robyn T.

Ok is two huge slices of NY style pizza too much for one woman? I say "no", especially when those oh so heavenly slices are topped with gooey mac & cheese and potato, and bbq sauce. What a fabulous meal. BYOB for a pizza joint too seems almost unheard of but its true - you can bring your brew with you to Ian's! Though I do love this Madison import there were just a few things I wasn't crazy about - the buffalo chicken pizza (sadly blue cheese just tasted weird on this slice) and the ordering (when it's busy there needs to be some sort of calm to this chaos -- labels for what the slices are would definitely help things out behind the counter).
(4)
Richard O.

The pizza's good. I liked the crust particularly. What I didn't like is that most of the vegetarian slices seemed to come from pizzas that had meat on half of them. This makes me think they aren't made for vegetarians and that Ian's Pizza doesn't want my money. It's strange that a business from State Street in Madison, Wisconsin would do something so uncouth. I want to give them two stars for shunning my patronage but I liked the crust and the flesh is weak.

Best "drunk" pizza ever. Take this review as you will: I was drunk and hungry. But this pizza was so great, I inhaled it! It was also really fun being there with several other drunk Chicagoans in the same position. I really respect the employees of this place putting up with the craziness of a Saturday night 2am rush. Catering pizza to the weekend Wrigleyville crowd is smart business sense! I'll definitely be back ... once I'm over the hangover from the last time.

Allison G.

I'm from the northeast. I love NY pizza. For some reason the 800 or so miles between Chicago and NYC have made it impossible to duplicate the thin, crisp/chewy crust that I so adore, Thank you Ian's-you've finally done it:) p.s. Skip all the fruit loop toppings--they're good, but straight-up pepperoni is better.
(4)
Brian S.

I can't say enough good things about Ian's Pizza, but the first thing is that it's like a taste of home... like Peace a Pizza in Stone Harbor, NJ (my long-standing favorite pizza in the world - yelp.com/biz/peace-a-pizâ€¦ ) but BETTER! Much has been said about Ian's inventive toppings, like steak-n-fries or s'mores... but not enough has been said about their CRUST! It's the perfect balance of crispy and chewy that so many pizza parlors strive for but never reach. The crust is what separates Ian's from Peace a Pizza (and all other competition). To top it all off, Ian's has a VERY friendly staff, late-night hours, and relatively cheap slices for the Wrigleyville area. I'd recommend Ian's to anyone at anytime!
(5)
Elizabeth H.

Must try: Mac & Cheese Pizza. I know it might seem weird or even simple compared with the other options, but you really HAVE to try it! I have been wanting to try the other pizzas but have never made it past the Mac & Cheese because I don't go here often enough. They just started delivering, which is a bonus, but it doesn't start until later. Best times to go are late night and early afternoon. The line moves quickly so don't be scared off by it. Enjoy your slice and let me know if I'm missing out on their other stuff.

Vegan Pizza! THEY make vegan pizza! Not only is their crust vegan but they also have Upton's brand faux meats. Although I am not a fan of vegan cheese, they do use Tease Cheez if you want it. My husband who eats everything was in heaven with the large selection of pizza slices available. These are both tradional and combinations that you might have never concidered. The staff was wonderful and seemed very happy to be there. The music was great AND, Ian's is all into the recycling & being green. Bravo! The only downside, they do not deliver as far north as Rogers Park.

Aly D.

Great tasting, cheap slices. It is BYOB and is a great spot for a few drinks and pizza before a Cubs game - if you get there early to snag a seat. The staff is very friendly even when it gets really busy in there. Try it out!

Aaron L.

I'll spare you the "Insert food here on a pizza??!!??!!" expression of shock and awe. Ian's really makes a great attempt at wrapping our old favorite in a new package and even tying a bow on it, that many have not seen before or wanted to think about. Every flavor combination is well thought out and had a pleasurable taste. However each slice tried (6) fell slightly short. Flavors that pop and seasoning to please take a back seat to the expression mentioned above. Each slice was enjoyable in it's own right, but I would be hard pressed to order a whole pizza of any one of their concepts. As you would imagine meats on the za were overcooked and lacked the spice or pop necessary to muscle its way into the mouths of seasoned pizza lovers, in the city that took the classic to a new level. As a pizza innovating town, anyone who can get to 'the city that works' without a car, knows that we sure do welcome a new player here. This joint wants to roll the dice on an old favorite in an attempt hit the jackpot. Ian's looks like a shooter but ends up bouncing the rocks over the side of the table. Everyone simply stares at them with eyes that say "you have rolled before, right?" I would like to taste more flavors that make me want to order up a whole pie, but there is not one slice on the menu i would want 2-4 more of to fill out a meal. Kick up the flavors a couple of notches and then we can talk about getting Ian's comp'ed. For a town with so many Za options you won't be seeing them at a final table anytime soon. A great concept befallen by execution. Yelp rating = 2 stars and as far as everyone's favorite college late night treat (no not that one) goes, anyone in Chi-Tonw [sic] has better within a stones throw. Food 10/20 Ambiance/Decor 13/20 $$$ 4/20 Execution of concept 12/20 Experience 14/20 +6 bonus points for innovation Overall 59/100 = Barely falls short/not overly compelled to return

Marc K.

This place is pretty fun. Novelty pizza slices for the win! I rather enjoyed the pesto tortellini and the marguerita. The mac & cheese is just about what you'd expect, but it's so fun to eat that you'd be hard pressed not to smile. Lots of drunk dudes and ladies at night, though. Expect it to get packed once these Wrigleyville folks start drinking. Luckily the staff know how to keep the line moving pretty fast.
(4)
Bridget L.

I think any place calling itself a pizza joint should have quality cheese pizza. A great piece of pizza shouldn't need shitloads of weird toppings. The hipsters can hate on me all they want for my opinion, but there is something divine about a simple slice of pie - the way God and the Italians intended. With that said, I thought Ian's was pretty decent. The crust was delicious and chewy, the folks who work here are very friendly and overall we were pleased I live in the neighborhood and will be back to check it out again.

Amy M.

Mac and Cheese pizza?! So good. Chicken Taco Pizza? Amazing. Baken Potato pizza? Unheard of! I walked there in the snow with a numb face just for this pizza! Ian's Pizza has inspired me to share the joy of mac and cheese pizza. No one believes me when i say its delicious. They will learn!
(5)
Chip D.

Philly... Cheesesteak ....Pizza. Do I have to write more? OK: Yes, this place gets slammed. It's in Wriglevyille and after games it's something of a zoo. Also, there's very limited seating, so chances are your going to be getting your slice to go, but what incredible slices they are--oversized, thin crust, with a beguiling list of ingredients. Besides the Philly, I also love the black bean and guacamole and the regular sausage with mushrooms. It's one of the most innovative and consistent pizzerias to arrive in Chicago in several years. Highly recommended in every way.
(4)
Dan B.

Honestly this place is Phenomenal! At first you will feel unsure about their weird pizza creations like the chicken Alfredo pizza but when you try it you realize what a delicious combination it really is. I cant say enough good things, i ate here once with a date, we tried a total of 4 different slices, all weird all delicious. I dont get turned on by pizza that much but this was truly amazing. Seriously
(5)
Steve L.

Pizza was very doughy, almost like it wasn't cooked long enough. Almost un-edible. Too bad, makes me wonder if these reviews are faked or if we just had bad luck in our ordering. I hope the latter is true.

Susan B.

I love this pizza. Sometimes I wish they had at least some more traditional (and vegetarian) slices available for immediate carry-out, but this is good pizza. The crust is truly awesome. Somebody knows about dough here. Toppings are fresh. Sauce is good. Cheese? Well, these guys are from Madison. 'Nuf said. I'll pass on the Chicago-style hotdog pie, but Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm on pretty much everything else. Yet to try the pasta-pizza offerings.
(4)
Maxine C.

I loved that they had unique topping combinations that you would rarely find at any other pizza joint. My boyfriend and I tried a couple slices... including the portabella pesto, mac 'n' cheese, and Philly cheese steak. I would definitely recommend.
(4)
Brook G.

Well, they do have some interesting varieties. But I probably won't be back to try them. The mac & cheese pizza was only ok. It didn't have much flavor. In fact, as sad as it is, the m&c pizza from Cici's Pizza Buffet is actually better. So that says a lot. We also had the lasagna, steak burrito, and bbq chicken slices, which again were not very exciting. We actually ended up throwing away our leftovers instead of taking them home. And only offering overpriced cans of soda instead fountain drinks always knocks off a star. Maybe we came on a day when the guy who doesn't make very good pizza was working? Maybe this place would be better if you were drunk? Either way, for $3.75 a slice I wouldn't willingly choose to eat here again.

Sarah M.

After reading all of the rave reviews on Yelp, we went to Ian's on Friday for dinner. I ordered the infamous Mac & Cheese slice and my fiancee got the BBQ chicken ranch. I was pretty disappointed with my choice. The flavor was very bland and the pizza was just greasy, not even that cheesy. My fiancee on the other hand had a delicious slice. I was almost tempted to pitch mine and reorder what he had. Instead, I reluctantly finished mine and ordered a slice of the s'more pizza, which was decent. Overall, I would say check Ian's but buy a box of Kraft if you're craving Mac & Cheese.
(3)
Ashley V.

YUM!!!!! Went with a friend, got a few slices to split and loved every bite. My top two recommendations right now. BBQ Chicken Bacon Ranch and the Pesto Portabella. The slices are huge and the crust is the perfect compliment to the jazzed up toppings. The guy behind the counter was friendly and efficient. This is a great addition to the neighborhood bringing in another quick, different alternative to the same fast food places.
(5)
Christa R.

Had Ian's at a fundraiser this weekend and got to try a few different kinds. All were amazing. Their XL pies are GINORMUS. The BBQ chicken and mac and cheese pizza were to die for. I am officially a regular now. This is a great guilty pleasure so keep their number on your fridge.
(4)
Ang R.

Yum. I quite liked all the pizzas I tried (Puttanesca, Mac and Cheese, and Spicy Chicken Taco), and one of the attractions of Ian's is that there's many many more to try. This pizza probably isn't for purists (though the pepperoni was a pretty good representation of NY style pizza); it's for people who like fun food. I mean, come on? Tortellini on pizza? Mac and cheese on pizza? It's fun and different, and oh-so-tasty. You can say you don't like it, and that's fine, but don't rag on it because it's not "pizza", because it's not trying to be, clearly. It is what it is. And frankly, it is delicious. This will become a regular Friday night dinner spot for us, I think.

Amber D.

So obviously this place doesn't need my review. I have to say how happy I am that I strolled in today after seeing a couple eating the most delicious looking piece of pizza I had ever seen. It turns out it was a lasagna pizza. This slice is now my current favorite over Pie hole's pizza selections. SO GOOD!!!!! All of the pizza in this place looked amazing so I feel pretty confidant giving it five stars.

Toby R.

The Pizza was mediocre at best, nothing stood out. The service and ambiance are much better.

Adam M.

Surprisingly delicious! I've tried Ian's twice now, and have sampled the following pizza varieties: Mac n Cheese, Philly Cheese Steak, Pepperoni / Mushroom, and Something with Chicken On It (not the proper menu name, but wouldn't it be cool if it was?) All were tasty. I love thin crust pizza, and this place makes a great one, even if their combinations are bizarre, gimmicky, and amusing (yet all so devourable!!). I think $3.75 for a 'signature' slice is a little high, but they do what no one around (that I know of) does with their pizzas. I might change my rating to 5 stars if you open up a location closer to my home.

Colleen S.

First off; if you have to have tomato sauce on a pizza in order for you to like it, then leave your fancy pizza pants at the door. (Secondly, live a little poindexter.) I had a slice of mac and cheese and a slice of pineapple and BBQ chicken. OK yeah they reheat already cooked pizza. But I like my crust crisp so I'm not complaining. Mac and cheese pizza was weird but in a weirdly good way. It was like having two of my favorite comfort foods combined. The pineapple and chicken was pretty good. Not enough sauce or toppings. But still, pretty good taste all around. But because a place isn't just about the food, I have to comment on the decor. OK I get it, a couple of young guys opened a pizza place because they had this cool idea to make weird pizza. That's really cool but don't treat the place like your basement. The line of red paint that meets the white ceiling is as wavy as the ocean and that's just stupid because taping off a paint line is so simple a monkey could do it. Maybe they were just counting on serving drunks but guess what? I was drunk and I STILL noticed. As a positive, if you didn't live in wrigleyville and wanted to pre-party with food, this place is BYOB with a liquor store only a few doors down. Genius.

I really wanted to give this place 3 stars but I went with 4.. When we got into Chicago it was around 5:00pm on a Friday.. Oh and did I mention there was a Cubs game. So there was an immense amount of stress I endured traveling through the sea of drunks and traffic that was Chicago that night. However, Ian's pizza shouldn't suffer because of that. So with that said.. As far as the pizza goes, it was a good slice of pizza at a fair price for a downtown area. The service is fast and friendly (especially considering they deal with large amounts of customers, mostly intoxicated). It wasn't the best pieces of pizza I have ever had, but they had a wide selection, and I was satisfied with my purchase.

I've been to the Ian's in Madison and was ecstatic they opened one in Chicago! The food is fun and delicious! The employees are wonderful! They are friendly, helpful, funny and seem like they're your best friends. The music is loud but sets the mood as a fun, young, hangout. I'm a follower on facebook and they always hold contests and send out reminders of their slice of the week. Further, they have a frequent customer card (buy 10, 11th free) which is awesome. Love Ian's so much!

Malcolm B.

NOTHING BETTER than cheap HUGE slices of pizza at 1:30 in the morning when you've only got $5 in your pocket and delivering a pizza of similar size would cost you over $17 bucks! NOTHING BETTER than expecting regular old sausage, cheese, pepperoni, and supreme flavors and finding flavors such as: PHILLY CHEESE STEAK MACARONI AND CHEESE BBQ CHICKEN W/ BACON AND RANCH AND CHEESE CHICKEN ROTINI ALFREDO? CHICAGO-STYLE HOTDOG Amazing flavors! Amazing price! Huge size! Stays open LATE! Real LATE! BYOB! Flat screen with the CUBS GAME! GET YOUR BUTT IN THERE AND GET SOME PIZZA, DUDE!

Kari P.

Some friends took us to Ian's Pizza last night, and it was delicious. I was starving and ordered 3 pieces of pizza. I had something with buffalo chicken, black beans, and other stuff, which was tasty. I had one that was like a loaded baked potato (with potato slices on it), which was great. I tried the mac and cheese.... hello delicious. And I tried the smores pizza, which is the perfect ending to the meal. Why only four stars? I'm a tough grader. :) I also had a can of soda, but there was no recycling bin. So, I asked about it. The guys seemed like they are really working to get a recycle bin, and agreed to take my can home to their personal recycle bin. This could have been a line to get me to leave, but I appreciated the effort. The guys working there were also really attentive to us, making sure we were enjoying our pizza. The atmosphere was ok. It's got big tables, which was good for our semi-large group, but I imagine there is a lot of table-sharing when it gets busy. The music was a little loud, but I appreciated the old school music. Think Michael Jackson, circa late 80's. Fun. Overall, it was great food, good price, fun atmosphere. Recycle boys, recycle!!

Ian's gets four stars. Since everyone has given great reasons why it deserves 5 (friendly staff, unique pizza), I will tell you why it loses 1 star. -0.5 star - The line is ridiculously long at 2am on your average weekend night. Not much Ian's can do about that but it has still driven me to Chicago Pizza instead as the late night pizza choice on a couple occasions. -0.5 - They run out of their special ALL THE TIME. This is super annoying when they advertise a special of the week and then don't have it. This is not a late night, sell out, phenomenon as I have gone to Ian's prior to going out at 6pm and have left without a slice. Furthermore, the Smokey and the Bandit is their best pizza and the last 2 times I have been to Ian's, they have been out of it. Otherwise, it has achieved legendary status reserved for the Kuma's & Hot Doug's of the world.

I called Ian's one night after seeing good reviews online, and shortly after I moved into my Lakeview apartment. The first night I called, there was a home Cubs game and they said they don't deliver when the Cubs are playing at home. I was pretty bummed, but tried again another night. The guy who answered the phone was super sweet and friendly. I ordered the Mac & Cheese pizza and LOVED it. Super delicious. It's a little salty (although I love salt, so this was right up my alley). However, it's tough to eat more than 2 slices in one sitting. It's a pretty heavy pizza, but absolutely delicious and worth the money and the wait. The guy who'd taken my order ended up being the guy to deliver my pizza, and he was just as friendly and courteous in person. I will definitely order from Ian's again!

Great mac n cheese pizza among others. Friendly ast service but can get crowded after bars let out. Definitely a must try!

After seven years of school in Madison, I feel I can write a review of Ian's without actually going to this location. Here is my review: Holy god damn is this pizza amazing. There is much talk of the Mac and Cheese slice, their specialty, but try some of the others. The black bean burrito slice is heavenly. If you get the "pan style," you only need one slice. Maybe even half. If you get the normal slice, two is totally the way to go.

East coast transplant looking for a passable New York slice? Go to Ian's. The plain cheese is spot on. The wacky flavors are also tasty, but the plain cheese is the real gold.

Brad N.

After a Wrigleyville bar or just hungry for some pizza, this place is the best! Highlights: -Cheap with a great selection of creative pizzas -They do not deliver due to the pizza not arriving in prestine condition (quality control! Gotta be impressed by that) -Very nice attentive staff that is funny and actually enjoys working there. This place has yet to disappoint. Check it out immediately!

I'm surprised how much I crave Ian's slices. I've tried many varieties - mac n' cheese, chicken blue, philly cheese steak, taco, pepperoni & mushroom, and I haven't had a bad slice yet. Many of their pizzas don't have red sauce, but rather a creme or other sauce that goes with the flavor. If they only served traditional toppings, then I would only classify them as above average because their crust alone is just OK...and I'd pick Piece as my favorite pizza with their suateed mushrooms. But Ian's re-creation of everyday dishes on pizza crust make an unbelievably great pizza. It's fun, different and definitely worth a visit.

A few weeks ago I started a post asking what pizza place had the largest toppings menu in Chicago & Ian's was one of the suggestions and conveniently the only one I could remember while I was out one night and craving pizza. I came in with my boyfriend not really knowing what to expect and certainly not expecting a "by the slice" kind of place, but that wasn't an issue at all. There were several different types of pizza being offered at the time (which was about 9PM on a Friday) and all looked delicious. I had two slices, I can't remember what they were, but it probably doesn't matter. Both were great & my boyfriend loved both of the slices that he got. And a few nights ago, I came in with a group of people after drinking heavily (no need to say-- the pizza was amazing) and despite the long line, service was super quick. I'll definitely be in again.

Rachael L.

Uhhhhh mazing! Dreamt about the mac & cheese pizza for 3 years from the first time I tried it (Ian's) until I got to have it for the second time last weekend. The guys working here are awesome too. No complaints and can't wait for my next Chicago visit, mainly for this reason!!
(5)
Michael L.

hungry and headed to a cubs game? look no further nothing like having a good thin slice of pizza before and/or after the game. $2.75 for an ordinary slice $3.75 for a specialty, which I highly recommend. Mac N Cheese BBQ Chicken Steak n Fries they even have a peach cobbler slice (havent tried it yet) public seating. eat with friends. eat with someone new. talk about the game or rant on another team.

Pizza as big as your face! On the way back from a visit to Northwestern, we decided that pizza was definitely a must to warm up on a super cold day in Chicago. I searched 'pizza' on my phone through Yelp. I gave a few options but price and rating wise we weren't satisfied. My girlfriend said she wanted the restaurant to have at least 4 and a half stars and be a single $ for the price range. As a joke I filtered the options to such and surprisingly Ian's Pizza popped up as an option. Fitting those EXACT categories. We ordered upon arriving home and what a great choice! Pizza was huge and priced reasonably upon delivery. The staff was helpful both on the phone and upon delivery. Large 1 topping (and when I say large - it's huge) for $19 is a STEAL.

Lindsay A.

MInus the drunk girls pretending to eat with their obnoxious drunk boyfriends filing in from the trashy clark street bars, this place is actually pretty cool. Their pizza choices are unique and creative. If you can handle all the cheese, I would reccomend the maccroni and cheese pizza. its pretty fantastic!
(5)
Lindsay D.

If you are looking for pizza that is really good and totally different from anything you have ever tried Ian's is the place to go. I love this place because it is open late, has amazing pizza, and great service. I have tried their nacho pizza as well as many others. Every slice I have tried has been good. How can you go wrong putting comfort foods like macaroni and cheese on pizza?
(5)
Zack R.

This place rules. There is a reason the line is out the door, even in the winter, after the bars close. This is the best pizza by the slice in the area. Also nice to try the different kinds. My favorites are mac n cheese, Chicken/Bacon/cheddar, Philly, and usually any of their specials.
(5)
Ashley M.

I ate here 4 times in less than a week! That's saying a lot because, thanks to my husband's layoff, we don't eat out much lately. Thank god they have punch cards for frequent customers! Anyway, I had the mac n cheese, a mashed potato/gravy/sliced turkey/stuffing slice called Gobble Gobble and 2 other delicious slices. The staff was friendly, the establishment was spotless, their ingredients all tasted fresh and the thin crust was perfectly cooked. Ian's is great because of their variety. Thanks to their unique array of toppings, you CAN eat here 4 times in a week and get a completely different meal each time. I've lived and worked in Lakeview for the past 8 years, eaten at every pizza joint in the neighborhood, and Ian's the best!
(5)
Joshua S.

I will admit to going because of all the hype but let me tell you THE HYPE IS FO REAL! I had a slice of mac n cheese and a slice of bbq chicken bacon ranch........OMG!!!!! I will be back alot! They were real busy the whole time I was in there and the staff was awesome! Talk about friendly...So glad they came to Chicago. I have to go back and try some other types of pizzas soon. My mouth is watering while I write this review.........LOL YOU ROCK IAN'S!!!!!!!!
(5)
Lindsay B.

The pizza is just as good as when it was Ian's. The staff is very friendly and always willing to explain what toppings are on each pizza (probably for the 100th time of the day).
(4)
Angelica G.

Anytime i'm up near Wrigleyville I have to stop at Ian's, and if I have to wait an hour until it opens at 5 p.m., you bet I will. I wish more places offered pizza by the slice like Ian's, and their's beat the competition by not only serving the basics but zany pizzas with s'mores on top. The workers are cool, there is free water, and it's a block from the Cub's field. The only reason I gave Ian's four stars instead of five is because the bathroom is hidden away in the kitchen and the sink in the ladies room does not really work.
(4)
Dave B.

Been to Ian's many times and have never been disappointed. On my last visit a friend recommended the chicken penne alfredo. It was fantastic. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Wrigleyville!
(5)
Amy W.

Absolutely delicious. I've been here for lunch and dinner, drunk and sober, weekdays and weekends--it never disappoints. Mac and cheese is a wonderful guilty pleasure. Recent specials Dreamy, Creamy Zucchini (grilled zucchini, pesto, bowtie pasta and goat cheese) and Pork Al Pastor (marinated pork, pineapple, tomatillo-avocado salsa, onions) were fantastic. The ones with a ton of veggies and the ones with some combo of BBQ sauce, bacon, cheddar, chicken and pineapple are great standbys. The staff is always very friendly and manages the 3 a.m. post-bar weekend crowd pretty quickly. Bonus: it's BYOB.
(5)
Liz P.

I'll admit it up front: seeing all the Yelp reviews about their vegan pizzas made me a little weary to try this place but a friend and I bit the bullet and opted for a simple cheese/pepperoni pizza. Turns out, it was pretty tasty. Big slices and pretty thin. The fact that it was only $9 makes it all the better. I would definitely come back.
(4)
Yumm y.

We ordered half cheeseless w/ spinach, tomato, roasted red peppers and pineapple and 1/2 with vegan "teese" and Upton's "sausage". Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious and wonderful customer service (delivery) all the way from the phone call to the delivery guy. I am so excited about having the opportunity to order pizza in my post dairy days. Dang good pizza!
(5)
Livia N.

Loved the variety and thought that the size of the slices were just perfect. I am a big fan of thin crust and was pleased with the crust, sauces, and size of the slices. I tried the mac and cheese but did not fall in love with it. It was good, but I didn't think that it was all that special. I went there with my husband and we ordered three slices: mac and cheese, creamy zucchini, and rigatoni with some kind of sausage. All very delicious and I can't wait to go there again to try the other options.

Garin J.

Late saturday night just after leaving Mullen's, my friends and I were headed down Clark with the idea that we would trek all the way out to The Weiner Circle when I had to do a double take at the cornucopia of Pizza that passed me by on my left. I had to look up the name of Ian's this morning because that night all I could think was, "Need!" The ordering process was simple enough, I stared open mouthed at such a wide variety that I eventually had to point and mumble "pineapple and whatever" and they shuffled me along to pay. It turned out to be pineapple and chicken and i was absolutely satisfied. My girlfriend didn't finish her Mac N Cheese and I was more than happy to oblige, waste not friends. Overall, for $3.75 you can have almost anything your little heart desires and the spot is what it will hit when you inhale your slice in record time. Dig it.
(5)
Nella D.

The pizza was amazing! however, I couldn't give this 5 star status because of hte driver who delivered my pizza. Upon greeting him at the door, I was not even greeted with a "hello" before he stopped to tell me that I was 4 blocks out of delivery range and should not have had my order accepted, especially during their busiest hour! RUDE!

Barbecue chicken bacon ranch pizza. AMAZING.

Ramiro M.

One of the best pizza places in town! I always go here after a night in Wrigleyville. Mac & Cheese, Steak & Fries, and the pasta pizzas are the my favs....the pizza is great sober, drunk, or hungover...
(5)
Jess R.

i love this place. i've had a few weird issues - partially cold delivery and other interesting mistakes - but overall, they have been responsive, friendly, and accommodating. perhaps more importantly, the food is incredible. they pull off the macaroni and cheese pizza brilliantly (i was skeptical), and the olive tapenade pizza is incredible. highly recommended!
(5)
Jeff G.

The sheer novelty of the pizza options here is admirable (Mac and cheese pizza, BBQ Steak and Fries Pizza, S'mores pizza, etc.)....The fact that these strange concoctions are palatable and actually enjoyable is the kicker. It gets pretty rowdy here on Friday nights around 1-2 AM or after Cubs games, so keep that in mind. Like others have mentioned, seating is also an issue. Your best bet is to have one of your friends stake out a table while you buy their pizza...it's the only way to get a seat sometimes. Anyways, the pizza is unique. The toppings are obviously the main draw, but the crust is stellar as well (good mix of crunchy and chewy). You probably won't even appreciate the subtleties of it though if you are 75% of this place's demographic: drunk assholes. Just kidding, but they will not sound the alarm for a popped-collar invasion here, so you have to stay on your feet at all times.

Jacquie A.

I went to Ians for the first time about 3 weeks ago and went back a few days later. I really love this pizza. The crust is awesome! The best part is they offer Vegan "Meats" and "Cheese"... Along with some other not so typical pizza toppings, like french fries, Mac N Cheese (for you dairy eaters), black beans. It is the perfect place to go if you have a mixed crowd... they really do have something for everyone... The service is great. My boyfriend and I went here and they accidentally made his pizza with vegan cheese instead of normal cheese because he had ordered vegan sausage... they were really accommodating to us... We got the vegan pizza to munch on while they prepared another one on the house...
(5)
Bryan B.

Everytime I'm in Chicago I try to make it a point to go to Ian's. They have some unique (and possibly unusual) toppings. I'm not sure if I like this place so much because they're open late... like really late and you can always stop in and grab a quick bite, or if it's really that good. But, I have to admit how clever it is to be open late and offer such 'unique' toppings... what better time to be adventurous than after a night out on the town! All four of my stars go towards the food, because the ambiance is not much to rave about and the staff is pretty rude, granted their very quick and efficient. But, what do you expect... you go for a slice of pizza, you get a slice of pizza. you really don't need much more!
(4)
Steve H.

Not your average neighborhood pizza joint. Ians is a great place to wear off some of the drunken stupor you have acquired when your partying in the Wrigleyville hood. They are open late which is super cool and they have a variety of slices to choose from. You can have everything from macaroni or cheese tortellini pizza to Steak and french fry or peach cobbler pizza for the die hards. I really give it to Ian's for being able to one up the typical pizza joint. In Wrigleyville you have so many options for a late night slice from other joints that serve an identical menu. For those wanting to try something a little different I definitely recommend Ian's. I will warn you though, I tried it once sober and it didn't have the same affect on me. It was still good but not "stuff my face and have mac and cheese all over my t-shirt" good like it does on a Saturday night at 2am.
(4)
Aaron K.

Went here on the Yelp recommendations a couple times and each time I was very impressed. Very non-typical pizza flavors and a virtually unlimited number of topping combinations. The Mac and Cheese pizza is awesome if you're buzzed on beer, but I have not had a flavor yet that I don't like from them. Very fast service inside and its BYOB, its not the most comfortable place to dine-in, but I'm usually stopping in there between bars on a pub crawl.
(5)
Nakia B.

Yummy..thats all I have to say.. I'm craving their Mac and Cheese pizza right now.
(5)
David H.

If you're looking for a late night bite (before 3AM) or pizza joint in general, Ian's is a great place to go. They have a large selection of pizzas and they're very creative with their toppings. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.
(4)
Anne D.

Oh Ian's, how I love thee. I once went to the original up in Madison and loved it, so imagine my excitement when I learned there was one in Wrigleyville when I moved to the city! My personal favorite is the mac 'n cheese pizza, but I've had some other really good slices. The awesome part is that they have rotating special flavors in addition to their old standbys. Definitely a must after a Cubs game or a night out in Wrigleyville...or, more likely for me, just because you feel like going to Ian's.
(5)
C. B.

How can you go wrong with Ian's?? Crazy combos on pizza, byob, open after the bars...yes please! I keep going back to Ian's b/c there are different slices I want to try. So far they have all been great! Had the breakfast pizza after the bars one night...sooo good. I also tried their steak taco pizza (there was a different name for this). It was once again amazing. I love how crispy their crust is after they put it in the toasting ovens. I love me some Ian's!
(4)
J B.

While Ian's had a large selection of pizza, it didn't live up to the super high reviews. This may have something to do with the fact we had it for lunch as opposed to after a night at the bars. It was a cool place in Wrigleyville with a lot of unique pizzas, big bench-style tables, and fun posters - however out of the 3 slices we tried all were just mediocre.
(3)
J F.

I love this place so much! Every time I'm up North I have to have it. I love the service and the Cheese Tortellini pizza. Not a huge fan of the sausage but it's not bad. Love it! Can't wait to go again.
(5)
Kelly B.

I was walking home and passed by Ian's and decided to treat myself to a slice of Mac and Cheese pizza. $3.50 for the best pizza ever. It is a slice that I will now crave for the rest of my life. You have to try it. It's so good!

Sasha R.

Macaroni and cheese on pizza is a simple pleasure that everyone should experience at least once.

Maria S.

My husband and I were looking for a place to grab a quick bite before an IO performance and didn't want the dude-brha Wrigleyville bars. Man, did we hit the jackpot with Ian's. The mac and cheese pizza was awesome, and my husband loved his BBQ chicken slice. We even came back after the show for s'mores pizza. Thanks for the recommendation, Yelp!
(5)
Jen B.

I was ecstatic to discover Ian's in Chicago! The Madison standby has all of my faves, like Mac N Cheese and peppers & mushroom. Ian's giant, floppy slices are a welcome break from the carb-tacular deep dish mainstream. And not only do you get the Madison flavors, but the crazy drunks as well. To wit, we got to witness a shouting match between rowdy University of Michigan fans that ended up with the table being knocked over. Did they get kicked out? Hell no! This is Ian's. That shit comes standard.
(4)
Josh B.

We are always looking for a good thin crust. This place had gotten such good reviews we had to try it. Sad to say but it was just ok. Crust was chewy and sauce was just sauce. There was nothing really special about the pizza. I can say the people who took our order and the delivery guy were both very nice. But the 4.5 - 5 star rating sad to say not accurate.
(2)
Katherine K.

OH COME ON! This place is unreal! Went there last night after the game (Go Cubs) and loved it from the second we walked in and even now as I get to write this review. Mac and cheese on pizza. I thought it was a great idea to begin with and was happy to see it exceeded my expectations! The flavors and textures all worked well together and OH MY GOD that crust! And the people there are ridiculously nice and funny. Looks like they really enjoy working there (always a sign of a good company with great management/ownership). Made the experience even nicer! I think someone said this pizza is like crack, and I back that. I can't wait until my next slice... Anyone want to join me there in an hour? -have to mention hubby and I had 2 slices and a pop for like 8 bucks-
(5)
Neha S.

I absolutely love when you can walk in and get late night pizza by the slice and there are about a million options. Mac and cheese pizza is definitely my favorite. I mean, the combination of carbs and more carbs is genius. I have visited their location in Madison before, and was excited when they opened a location in Chicago. Also, I heard they had a vegan night awhile back...how cool is that? It's next to impossible to get vegan pizza anywhere in Chicago. Kudos to Ian's for reaching out to vegetarians!

Im in ian's at least twice a week. Their unique slices are always amazing and they have some of the best non deep disk crust. The weekly specials add variety and are usually just as good as their regular fare.

Good Stuff Fast - what more do you want. Order some Pizza already!

Kal T.

This is the sort of pizza that only your typical drunk Wrigleyville crowd could love. In other words, it was really greasy and overpriced. The macaroni and cheese pizza everyone keeps raving about here? Bland and the crust was almost black on the bottom. The slices were also over-priced at almost $4 a slice. My neighborhood greasy spoon could do better (and for a fourth of the price). Go somewhere, anywhere else.
(1)
Jamie G.

This is the perfect late-night, after-hours, walking-home-from-the-bars-or-a-game-with-a-group pizza place. There are tons of choices, large portions, you can easily pay per person, and free water for the taking. The pizza is decent and unique enough that I, sometimes, crave Ian's when it's not 1am on a Saturday morning.
(4)
Darren M.

It's got a quirky menu, cheap prices, is open late and is situated right in the middle of a bevy of bars. In other words, the perfect place to get your grub on after a night out drinking. But Ian's is so good that I come here even when I'm sober. Considering all the drunk Cubs fans around the area, Ian's atmosphere is surprisingly comfortable, and it always seems like there's just enough seats for you to anchor yourself before having your first bite of a pizza you never imagined possible. The ever-changing menu means no two Ian's experiences have to be the same, although if it's your first time I'd have to recommend the signature mac and chesse pizza. Do yourself a favor and let Ian's mark the end of your next night in Wrigleyville.
(5)
Alison E.

Stopped by Ian's today, and learned that they're now delivering year-round, except on the days there are Cubs home games (understandably, as the cars can't go through there at all...). I am so excited! Also, their ready-to-eat slices are tasty. XD

I like the original pizza flavors here. If you like mac n' cheese, and I do, then the Mac n' Cheese slice will hit the spot. Our favorite was the tangy BBQ Chicken and Ranch. The Philly Cheesesteak was also tasty.
(4)
Mel G.

Yay! It's good. Thin, crispy crust, unique concoctions that sound only moderately appealing but turn out to be delicious. Friendly staff. Kinda gets a little clustered when it's busy, but worth it. Mac and Cheese is better than it looks and sounds. And the Spinach Florentine is good to boot. Also, cheap food makes me smile.
(4)
Bari L.

Just went before a Cubs game with two friends who were from out of town. They both loved it. One girl who is my friends sister from Ohio has never really been out of her small town and fell in love with the pizza a penne with mushroom and white sauce. She had to go back for seconds.
(5)
Michelle K.

Was this the absolute best pizza I've ever had? No. It definitely deserves the stars, though. This eco-friendly gem is known for their interesting meaty and junk-food combinations, but can be just as loved for its vegan-friendly fare. Vegans, listen up! This is a place to go - with or without your omnivorous friends - and have pizza, sometimes by the slice. You can pick from two "cheeses" and a variety of toppings. You can bring your beer and sit and have a drink and a slice like any other human. Order the 20". The pizza reheats well so you'll have good food for a few days and you'll get hilarious looks on the bus.
(5)
Kathryn M.

Tortellini pizza!!!!!! I love tortellini pizza, especially late at night while stumbling home. I seriously haven't had tortellini pizza since I was in undergrad and it definitely hit the spot and for a few minutes I actually thought I was back in my carefree undergrad days, drunkenly getting pizza on the way home, instead of being a responsible super busy adult. The staff was really friendly and kept the line moving quickly at 1:30 am. I think slices were $3.50, which is a little pricey, but most definitely worth it.
(5)
Skylar E.

This pizza place reminded me of college. Lots of drunk people waiting in line for anything they can get. However the buffalo chicken pizza and BBQ chicken pizza were not too bad. Great after bar pizza
(3)
Sarah Q.

Ohhh man, Ian's Pizza is LEGIT. The guacamole burrito pizza is so freakin amazing, I've never had anything like it in my life! The crust is perfectly chewy and has that delightful crunch on the bottom that comes from warming it in the oven after ordering. mmm mmm MMM!!! Also tried the cheese (yummy) and macaroni & cheese. I really wasn't blown away by the mac n cheese...it was kinda bland...but I think I'll douse it in hot sauce next time which should do the trick. But you MUST try the guacamole burrito--it's like eating 7 layer dip on top of pizza. Amazing.

Jon M.

This is a very fun, unique restaurant. Their crab rangoon and steak nacho pizzas were both out of this world. Very cheep also

Great place for by the slice pizza. Variety is good, but unpredictable. Slightly expensive for what it is, but ultimately a great atmosphere in Wrigleyville.

Heather E.

When in Wrigleyville, Ian's is a great place to grab some quick, cheap and tasty grub. They have an array of interesting flavors (mac and cheese, chicken Parmesan, Chicago dog), and all of the available of slices for that day are displayed so you won't have buyer's regret. The slices are large, with one being enough for an average female, and the prices are around $3/slice. An interesting twist is that Ian's is also a BYOB, and we all know beer and pizza go great together!! I subtracted one star for lack of a system: After ordering a slice of pizza displayed under heating lamps, the workers toss the pizzas into giant ovens. Unfortunately, the slices seem to occasionally get forgotten about in the ovens, and on a few occasions I have gotten my pizza while companions on the same order are waiting or vice versa. But, I guess the delicious pizza is worth the wait.
(4)
Lydia B.

Amazing pizza! They had a huge variety when I came in, with the coolest pizzas I'd ever seen (think: tortelinni pizza, chill cheese dog, s'mores). I enjoyed a pesto, spinach, tomato and feta pizza, which was delicious. The best one, though, that I tried was the burrito pizza. Sounds strange, but it was incredible! Black beans, guacamole, cheese and sour cream. Mmmmm. Definitely worth a trip if you're visiting Chicago or find yourself in the area!
(4)
Emmanuel E.

Good before 2-3 am. When all the bars close this place gets packed with 15 year olds so go earlier. Try the cordon bleu or the mac n cheese if you want something different, the regular cheese and pepperoni is really good if you're a traditionalist.

Eileen Anne F.

"Bring it on down to Wrigleyville" (sing with that Justin Timberlake SNL skit voice) and grab a nacho slice here!!! A contender was the macaroni and cheese slice, but I made a wise decision.

Jeremy B.

i've been to ians sober and shitfaced and both ways, this place is great. vegan friendly options also. i almost always get the BBQ Chicken & ranch and a slice of mac and cheese and add BBQ sauce to it. I've had almost every slice they offer and i can't recall any i didnt like.
(5)
Brooke B.

I live a block from this place, and I think my roommate and I ate here every day for two weeks straight when it first opened. Love the creative pizzas. Its a good place to bring out of towners. It gets crowded when the bars close, but I appreciate their hours as I'm usually one of the drunks in line. :D My only complaint is the size. Its gets sooo crowded on weekends. Get the s'more pizza!

I was able to try Ian's Pizza at a beer and pizza pairing at the beer school in Sheffield's. I had no idea Ian's had such a huge following before going to this event. I was going because it was pizza and beer. But I am so glad I was able to try some of Ian's delicious pizzas. Mac & Cheese pizza, good lord that guy is amazing. Also was able to try one called the salad pizza, which was really just a very good veggie pizza. For dessert they had a s'mores pizza, I'm not a big chocolate fan so I didn't love this one but it was really interesting. I can't wait to make a trip here and try some more of Ian's Pizza gems.

After reading the great reviews and wanting to try Ian's for several months, I finally got the chance to try some while out on Friday night. I was in the middle of a conversation with my friend when I interrupted myself while shouting and pointing that I needed to try some Ian's pizza ASAP! After some coaxing, we walked across the street and managed to grab a few slices. I was able to try the macaroni and cheese pizza as well as the lasagna pizza (can you tell I love carbs?). The mac and cheese pizza slice was the last one, and tasted like it was the last one. The cheese was kind of congealed but I imagine it would be better when fresh. The lasagna pizza was garlicy and off the charts delicious. I'm not a Cubs fan and don't really like going to Wrigleyville, but I think I might have to, just to go to Ian's more often!!!

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Pizza is innovate and creative. Based on regular pizza - I still prefer Piece Pizza or Santullo's pizza best. But this place is awesome for fun and different pizza. Like everyone says, you gotta try the MAC 'N' CHEESE pizza. Also delish was the PHILLY CHEESESTEAK PIZZA and PARMESAN CHICKEN PIZZA. They have so many different types, varies from time of day and from day to day... and it's so hard to pick what I want to eat! The people who work there are fun and crazy. Very kid friendly as well. Love it love it love it!

I have never been so excited to write a review of a place. If I wasn't married and Ian were a tall, dark and handsome male and made me pizza like this on the first date I would marry him. This pizza is that good! We went here before a Cubs game this week and I can't believe it took us this long to try it. IT IS SOOOOO GOOD! I haven't had pizza this good in a very very very long time. We tried four different types of pizza and a brownie. The Mac N Cheese pizza was AMAZING. The Spinach, tomato and feta was perfect, the ranch, bacon, chicken and bbq sauce one was overkill, but still rad and the pepperoni slice was gone before I could take a bite. Now if only they were closer to my house so I could order from them more often. We are going to a Cubs game today and you bet I will be picking up a slice(or five) of this pizza for the game. My only complaint is that they use paper plates! Come on guys, think about the environment a little.

This isn't pizza, this is PIZZA! There is nothing like a gooey, cheesy slice of Mac n' Cheese pizza to make your life whole again. Exposed to Ian's in Mad-town and was instantaneously hooked. As a self-considered pizza aficionado, this establishment and it's fare has sent me straight to pizza heaven. Now, don't get me wrong, there are plenty of fancy-pants choices, but they even make the classics a mouth watering tasty treat and with not many 'za joints offering the true "Chicago Style", this is the next (if not better) choice. My only advice? GO NOW!

Amy D.

YUMMY. The mac and choice is great. It's a little hyped up, but it's a perfect combo of mac and cheese flavor with a great crust. Howard got the pepperoni. Just as tasty. I LOVE the crust. I would have to say it was hyped up (from my sis who had in Madison), but def. still a winner!

I heart Ian's ...and I proudly wore my pizza slut and i love ian's stickers to the Cubs game last night. In fact, when I didn't have my ticket, the lady manning my section remembered me by my pizza slut sticker. Cute huh. Anyway, we tried Ian's for the first time before the game, and it was such a refreshing take on pizza. I mean, noodles on pizza? French fries? Who would have thought! I played it slightly safe and got a slice of buffalo chicken and blue cheese. It was soooo good. I also got a taste of the mac n cheese slice, and it was weird but good. It's only $3.75 for a slice of their specialty pizza, which I think is a great deal. The crust was thin and crispy and obviously the toppings were fun and unique. I dont think a slice of mac n cheese pizza will be a regular craving for me ...but anything could happen late night, so i shouldnt speak too soon.
(5)
Therron R.

We love this place, because it's only a short walk away from the house, and also the many specialty pizzas. They are all good. I often find myself getting one of each because I don't want to miss any one slice. Of course, the mac & cheese pizza is the best. Talk about a real addiction here. I love the "by the slice concept". We were able to get 6 slices all different flavors, and it cost the same as one whole pizza at the other places.

Steve B.

Having come from Madison, WI I was really excited to find out Ian's was coming to Chicago. They did not disappoint. In fact, they exceeded my expectations by expanding on their already awesome menu.

Sarah A.

Where else can you get a portabella mushroom pizza or a mac and cheese pizza? Good for late night eats in Wrigleyville, though I think that they could stay open a little later on weekends. They also take suggestions...although I don't think they have added my banana pizza to the menu....

I love Ian's Pizza in Madison. I love Mac and Cheese pizza in particular. I know that it sounds disgusting, but trust me. It's amazing. What I don't love is that Ian's isn't open for lunch during the week. Why, oh, why, must you deprive me of my mac and cheese pizza on a rare weekday when I'm away from the hospital??? if only Ian's had lunch hours like it does in Madison or it delivered....

Natan P.

Hands down, this is the most creative pizza place there is. Not to mention, it's extremely delicious whether sober, kind of drunk, or flat out hammered. I used to visit friends in Madison just so I could make a stop at Ian's while there, but now that it is in Chicago, I am thrilled. They have such a great variety of pizzas for any appetite, but for sure my favorite pies are BBQ Steak and Fries, Loaded Baked Potato with Bacon and BBQ Sauce, and Mac n' Cheese. That's right, all of the above are pizzas they make, and that barely scratches the surface of the fantastic, far-out pizzas they make. If you haven't Ian's before, you have to try it. Really, the only thing that could make this place better would be if they opened shop in Bucktown!
(5)
Shannon B.

Not bad. A little greasy for my taste, and I've had better thin crust. I really do like the variety, and I love the late hours and the fact that they sell by the slice and are located in the area in which I'm generally out late at night.

Karl f.

Great thin crust pizza, interesting toppings available but the pepperoni does me just fine.
(4)
Kevin R.

Ahh, real pizza. Not that knife and fork stuff. And not just real pizza, but real, CRAZY pizza. Macaroni pizza, cheeseburger pizza, all strange and delicious combinations. And when I say cheeseburger pizza, I don't mean "hey, let's throw some ground beef and cheddar on this thing and call it a cheeseburger pizza"; I mean "beef, pickles, onions, ketchup, and dear lord this tastes like McDonald's burgers would if they were 200% more awesome." It seems a little pricey at first, but it's well worth it. Great grub at any time of the day, but especially great post-bar hopping.

Peter B.

Points for creativity! A place that definitely has personality and originality in their pizzas. Pizza is, like many college kids, my favorite food. And well, Ians is one of those places that, well, you just HAVE to try. "Don't knock it unless you've tasted it"- i've always said. Now for a couple of caveats: The Traditional pizza "flavors" (if thats what you can even call it) are somewhat uninspiring. I tried the Pepperoni and I tried the Mac N Cheese. The Pep was good, but not mind blowing. I've had better pepperoni at a sbarro coming out of a New york Subway (thats just how i like it). Their tomato sauce was actually quite sweet. The Mac N cheese pizza- interesting, but didn't really taste too cheesy??? I had to load the thing up with hot sauce to make it tasty.Its a good thing It was new years day and i was hung over so i didnt burn my mouth. I've tried the original location in Madison Wi and they have more variety of flavors. I had the "Chicken bacon ranch" and the "steak & Fries". Of all the flavors i've had, the Chicken Bacon Ranch was the tastiest. All in all, i'd rather just have the real thing than having pizza that tastes like it. Make sense??

i am embarrassed to even think about the number of mac n cheese slices i have consumed at ian's after 2am. dangerzone. delicious slices of all varieties - so many to try out! they have a frequent buyer card and the staff is really patient and friendly, considering the idiots they have to deal with. more seating would be nice, but i can see why they don't want the place to be a post-bar hangout even more than it already is...

Thomas B.

Ian's has great variety and quick service. Don't hate yourself for getting the brownie either...

Karen S.

I lived a block away for an entire year before I discovered this place. What a waste of life. Now I can be found here on a weekly basis. It is definitely the best late night pizza joint around. Make sure you get one of those punch cards for frequent diners. P.S. Dimitri is awesome.
(5)
Lauren P.

i'm always amazed by how many fun and interesting pizza toppings they have every day, and the people behind the counter are usually more than willing to run you down the gauntlet of selections. only downside is that if they're not busy, the pizza may have been sitting for awhile. slices are large and filling. wasn't impressed by the mac 'n' cheese pizza at first, but i gave it another shot and now i'm a fan. one of my other favorites has to be the potato cheddar bacon ranch pizza - delicious, but you really can't miss with any of them. my boyfriend is already on his third frequent customer card!

Robin C.

Oh dear God. Frankly, I'm pissed I just heard an Ian's opened in Chicago this late. I found out last night that there was a location here, and it took an embarrassing amount of self restraint not to up and leave Will's, (hip hip Badgers), to go here. If you waste your $3 or $4 on cheese, pepperoni or other standard-topped ZA here, you should be slapped with a stupid stick. The mac and cheese, chicken pesto, and steak and fries pizza are to die for. They'll probably swap out different specials of drunken-genius combinations so choose quickly because I'm probably stomping my foot behind you in line.
(5)
Edmond L.

Hands down, my favorite pizza place, ever! I love Ian's Pizza, I cannot get enough of it. I take every friend from out of town here and they always love it. I dig every kind of pizza they have, especially the chicken burrito and chicken penne. I really like their punch card. After 10 punches, you get a free slice, I know I've had more than 5 free slices. Every week, they have a different special slice. I remember one they had with shrimp, it was so insanely good. I wish they always had it. All of the people who work here are super nice and the guys making the pizzas never skimp on the toppings and really care about what they are making. It would be awesome to work here, if for nothing else, getting a free lunch every day. I am happy this place is so close to my house. I Hope they have great success in Chicago and are around for a long time. You really should get to Ian's and discover all the awesome pizzas you'll never be able to eat at any other pizza joint. I can not say enough good things about them.

Jennifer R.

I really like this place. I've only been after I've hit up some bars and the line is normally long, but moves fast. The staff is always nice even when dealing with drunken fools in the early AM hours. They have a nice variety of veggie pizzas which I enjoy. The only thing I would ask for is more cheese pizza : )
(4)
P D.

This place is perfect for grabbing a quick no frills slice. I had 2 vegetarian slices - the mac and cheese - and then another one with spinach and portabella mushroom. both sooo good and filling. cost was somehting like 7.50 total.

Valerie E.

Oh my gawd I am so P.U.M.P.E.D. for Ian's! For those who aren't familiar, Ian's is a fast and oh-so-delicious pizza joint that started up in Madison a few years ago. You can get it by the slice or get a whole pie. While some of the toppings consist of your generic pizza fare, they get pretty creative. Good, fresh ingredients too. Ian's has something special goin' on, and I'm sure Chicago will figure that out soon enough. Hopefully it won't get overrun with frat boys now that it's in Wrigley. Ahhh the memories...2am...a little more than tipsy...slice of spinach feta pesto or southwest burrito pizza in my hands. And it's just as good when you're sober, only you remember what you ate!

I have had chicken taco, and tortellini. That was great choice- delicious!! I can not wait to come back and try something else.

Jennifer H.

This is by far my favorite pizza place in the city, I must stop by here at least once a week. They have creative pizza choices and for the non adeventurous regular sausage or pepperoni is available. They also have a special of the week which had included sloppy Joe and crab ragoon pizza. My favorite is the papa bandit which us BBQ sauce, potato, bacon, cheddar cheese and top with ranch dressing. This a must stop place if your ever in Wrigleyville.

Jonas S.

my buddy and i went a cubs game. It was a lil after 11am and we were hungry. We got 4 slices but the special pizza of the day was awesome. It was a braised beef with herbed potato, red wine, and a some awesome mustard sauce. The server carl was very cool. Super friendly guy! Dimos pizza has unique pizza! Def worth a try!
(5)
Adam N.

The pizza is amazing. I am a native new yorker and NEVER compliment pizza unless it meets my admittedly ridiculously high standards. The slices i had (mac and cheese, poblano and corn, chicken and tangy sauce ) were both inventive amd comforting. They were delicious. The staff has an incredible attitude, friendly and no nonsense at the same time. I recommend Dino's with high regard and am excited to become a regular. Thank you for being yourselves and being incredible at it.

Just ordered the Vegan Mac and Cheese for delivery. Arrived on time, hot, delicious! Such a good pie. The teese is nice and melty. All I had to do was add some sriachia and I was in business! Great prices, great pizza, great staff. I love Dimo's!
(5)
Melissa K.

Waiting in a huge line for this "great pizza". Dealt with employees that seemed like we were wasting their time. To top it off, there was what looked like a bug in one of the slices and it was shrugged off as "extra protein". I realize most people are drunk the Saturday before St. Pats. But don't try and be a dick about it. We still paid for your pizza. Do your job and don't be a douche.

Pizza, like pork products, the Cubs, the art of napping, and Family Guy, is just one of those areas in which my beau and I agree to disagree. He is partial to thin crust, by-the-slice, New York style. I love deep dish. Still, we embrace each others' eccentricities and I have tried a few of his favorites just to be sporting. Usually I remain lukewarm about the plain cheese slices and finish with my pizza jones unsatisfied. Yesterday though, Ian's actually satisfied both of us, so color me pleasantly surprised. At first the options are a little confusing; there's a daily special written on a chalkboard, but then there are half a dozen other varieties on display that are not really described anywhere. It's a matter of discerning the ingredients or asking the (friendly) staffer. The creations are inspired: breakfast burrito, lasagna, taco salad, chicken Parmesan, plus one with big pieces of avocado and one with actual tortellini. I am somewhat of a purist and chose the relatively simple feta, tomato and spinach slice that actually had mozzarella underneath everything. It was like two pieces in one. The pizzas warmed up to need-to-wait-a-minute hotness, which was fine because truth be told, it took me a minute to cut through it with the cornware. (Cornware is what I call the biodegradable disposable utensils made from corn. If I am infringing on copyright, I apologize and plead ignorance.) The pizza definitely had body, the spinach was generous, and the crust was actually pretty great - crunchy, in fact. In addition to the above-average selection and quality of the pizza, they also carry Gale Gand's root beer. If you are like me and require a root beer or Dr. Pepper with your pizza, you are in luck. The bottle has a cute little story of how she created the recipe, and it was a fine root beer to boot. All told, three slices and two drinks cost about $14, which feels about right. The seating is nothing to write Yelp about but there are clever little posters around and you can even buy a "Pizza Slut" t-shirt if you are so inclined. I was not inclined but if there ever were a place that would tempt my monogamous loyalty to deep dish, it would be Ian's. We'll be back.

Long overdue update! After my last review, the owner messed me personally to remedy the "situation" with the service my husband and I had received. He clearly cares a lot about his business. I have been back here many, many times since that first review and each visit has been fantastic. Great pizza (the crust is so good and pretty close to NY style which is too darn hard to find here!), creative ingredients, and good service! Hooray for Dimo's!

Lauran D.

Heard great things.... In reality not so much! Ordered pick up. They said 40 I was there well after. One pizza wasn't even prepared at all. While the other still wasn't out of the oven. Neither was the salad. Then he quickly threw one together with unwashed bare hands. I get if they were busy. But they weren't.

Jason A.

Dimo's isn't great by any stretch of the imagination but they are interesting. They are perfect for a late night snack by the slice while in Wrigelyville. They are great for parties for out of towners if you want to wow your family with a chicken and waffle or macaroni and cheese pizza. They aren't great for pizza snobs or everyday meals because the quality just isn't that high. The sauce is generic red sauce. Most specials are way over the top and clash. Ingredients aren't high quality and sometimes scare me. Cool novelty but that's about it.

Amanda K.

My hubs is ridiculously nuts about pizza. He's so obsessed with it that he even has sex dreams about it. So when we recently moved to Lakeview after spending a year living in NYC, with slice joints on every corner, I knew it would be our mission to find our go to place. After reading some various yelp reviews, I settled on trying Dimo's first. Best.choice.ever. The place has an awesome vibe, from the friendly staff (who I think totally had my hubs pegged as a pizzaholic, since they threw double punches and a few free slices of their Smores pizza at us), to the interesting toppings... After gorging on mac n cheese, lasagna, and cheese slices, and finding out about their totally cool vegan-friendly options and boards and booze game night, my husband gazed at me and said with a kind of breathless whisper..."This is the BEST PLACE EVER!" And like I said, this is coming from the guy who has SEX DREAMS about pizza...so you KNOW this place is awesome! The whole walk home, he was in a pizza porn stupor...Thanks, Dimo's, for satisfying my hubs in ways I never could...unless maybe I dressed in a sexy pizza costume or something.

Ashley W.

My husband and I almost didn't stay to eat at Dimo's - at first we thought they just offered slices of the pizzas they had ready at the time, and I can't eat cheese, so I definitely needed to customize my order. An extremely friendly & helpful employee behind the counter saw that we were about to leave and she got our attention and told us to stay. She showed us their extensive menu and helped us pick a pizza that would be tasty for both of us. We went with pulled pork with pineapple, onion & BBQ sauce - half with cheese & half without. It sounds a little strange but it was delicious. I love their thin but not crackery crust. It was fresh and delicious and the staff was laid back but very friendly & accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Chicken and waffle pizza at 1am? F yeah! Staff was friendly and funny even after 6 hours of serving D-bag Cubs fans!

BEST vegan pizza in Chicago! And its not just sauce, dough and toppings. They have whole vegan pizzas and slice options. They have vegan cheese and vegan fake meats. The mac n cheese pizza is my fave. The philly vegan pizza is also delicious!

Delicious pizza, lots of variety, and gets pretty close to authentic New York style. Haven't dined in there yet, but we regularly get delivery.

Dimo's is a fun place to pop in en route to one of the many attractions on Clark (I tend to eat there if I'm rushed for time before an iO show). I love that it's BYOB, and there's always a great selection of off-the-wall slices. Some of my favorites have been the chicken and waffle, pesto tortellini, and banana and peanut butter with bacon (Elvis would approve). The staff is always friendly and helpful when explaining all of the different types of pizza, and the price is incredibly cheap. It can be hard to get seating if you come here later in the evening, but it's definitely a quick and affordable late-night snack.
(4)
Ivy T.

If you can't handle fingers grazing your pizza, sitting next to strangers, cafeteria style seating, drunks or douchbags, I'd suggest that you find another pizza joint. For those who can exist just fine around germs, drunks, and dicks, then you get to experience great pizza with unique toppings. Mac and cheese pizza? Check. Vegan pizza? Check. Tortellini pizza? Check. SMORES PIZZA? OMG YES. The place is pretty clean but being on Clark, you're going to see all kinds of people. If you're not a people person, good. This just means more pizza for me.

Aaron Jae M.

Came here for some late night slices. I got them to go and I think they sat in the car a little too long but it was still very tasty and flavorful. They are all about the crazy combination slices with lots of toppings. The slice is a little on the pricier side considering you can get a cheese slice for $1.50 but their quality and creativity make it worth it.

Ann Q.

i was walking around the area around midnight looking for a place to stop in and a grab a bite. Most places were closed or were bars that were no longer serving food. I saw that Dimo's is open till 3 am so I decided to stop in and grab a slice. Even so late at night it was fairly busy but I didn't mind waiting. The staff was nice and since they already have the pizza out it's pretty fast to get. They do warm it up in the oven a bit before giving it to you though. They also had some unique sodas which was nice. It took a minute to find a seat but eventually I did and got to enjoy my pizza, which was huge and tasted amazing! This is seriously some of the best pizza I've ever had. So good!
(5)
Fiore P.

Update: LOVE THESE STONERS & THEIR WILD COMMITMENT TO PIZZA. Consider my previous review wayyyy too hasty. I've ordered & eaten Dimo's like ten bazillion times since then. It's vegan & normal folk pizza at it's most creative/weird/delicious. Delivery dudes are always high as a kite & sweet as pie. Love you Dimo's! Sorry for the harsh words from like 4 years ago or whenever it was.

Lena H.

I wasn't brave enough or in the mood for one of Ian's special slices yesterday so I opted for the pesto tomato slice. It was deeeelicious! The crust was crispy just like I like it without being burnt. Even though the pizza was sitting out it tasted like it was freshly baked. Yum! For $3.75 I thought it was a little pricey for not having any meat on it. My dining companions shared a small vegan sausage pizza. They were really happy to see they had Upton's sausage and were reeaaallllly happy with their pizza. For $10 it was a steal! I totally regretted just getting a slice of pizza for almost half the cost of their whole pie. The person taking our order was suuuuuuuper nice and made sure everyone in the restaurant was happy with what they ordered. I'd definitely be back if I could remember how to get here on my own. :)

Jeremy C.

If you like things other than pizza on your pizza then this is the place for you. This used to be Ian's pizza. I liked Ian's and I liked this place too. Although... This is one of those places that tests one of 2 theories I have on some restaurants: Can it be that the only time you eat here is A) when you're intoxicated Ihop tastes like Per Se or B) after sitting watching the cubs get beat up for 3 hours... Anything but hot dogs and stale nachos is going to taste amazing. I'll keep coming back here. It's almost tradition to go to a game then grab a slice here. The staff is pretty cool and funny too..
(5)
Candice J.

This was a nice, little pizza place. The workers were all happy and singing along to the radio. I told the girl that it was my first time here, and she showed me her favorites. I ended up getting the slice with pasta and chicken. It was delicious! And the slices are big too! Tuesday night are trivia nights. You are able to pick a category and if you answer the question right, you get an extra punch on your card to earn a free slice of pizza! I'll definitely be back again.

Ryne D.

Formerly known as Ian's, Dimo's is pretty much the same place. A variety of specialty pizzas sold by the slice. If you're out and about late in Wrigleyville and looking for a bite, Dimo's is worth the short walk. It's hard to comment on their menu since it changes fairly often, but I've never had a really bad slice here. Just recently I tried the chicken and waffle pizza was had a great balance of sweet and salty on it. They also had some pizzas with a black bean base instead of tomato sauce, which gave it a heartier, chewier feel. Great stuff. They also have a weekly special, and it feels like every time I go I wish I was there for the next week's special. Not that the current's week's was bad...maybe just a case of me wanting what I can't have? Either way, the variety at Dimo's is so big you can usually find something to your tastes, and that's why I love bringing groups here.

Mary L.

I went with my boyfriend before Improv and we got 3 different pizzas. Chicken alfredo, pesto tomato, and the dimos pizza (feta, tomato, spinach). They were all perfect but definitely the Dimos Pizza was the best! The staff is 100%! The pizza is AWESOME! BYOB. Go, just go! Get to Dimos as fast as humanly possible.

Ian F.

So, after you come here for the first time, you'll just about never want to leave. Verrrry friendly, youthful, and energetic staff. Also the pizza is just great, food-gasms all around!!! Different flavored pizza just about every day and they're generally all good, it just depends on your mood and cravings. Everyone needs to come here and nothing more needs to be said... "the end"

Amanda A.

So here's how my night went and why I won't be a Dimo's patron ever again. 1) Delivery guy drops Leninade bottle on my porch. Glass everywhere. He swept up the pieces and offered a credit. Thank you and no worries, everyone has an off night... or in this case a REALLY off night: 2) Pizza time! Womp, both sides of ranch and marinara(or so I thought, see #3) that I ordered were busted open and spilling into the boxes. Ok, that happens, they deliver on bicycles, disappointing but still edible. 3) Ordered a side of marinara and got Frank's red hot sauce. Didn't figure the switch until I took a big bite of it. Quite the awful surprise, especially for a person who doesn't like anything spicy. (Starting to heat up and not because of the hot sauce...) 4) Called GrubHub to complain, they then called and I was notified that I was only going to receive a credit for the Leninade and that I needed to personally speak with someone at Dimo's. Ok, will do. 5) Called Dimo's. Hold music for 10 minutes. UGH. Someone FINALLY answers and informs me that there isn't a manager there that I can speak with. Umm, what? I work in the food industry, how do you not have someone in charge that I can speak with? FUMING. 6) GrubHub gets a hold of someone in charge and lets me know that they still will only reimburse me for $2.25 on a $34 order that was a nightmare from start to finish. Final straw and I'm DONE. Shame on you Dimo's Pizza. Your pizza isn't worth the terrible customer service and lack of response I received tonight. Signed, a former Dimo's fan and patron

I love Dimo's. It is just a short walk from my friend's place in Boystown, and we find ourselves there often late at night. The slices are a bit pricey, but they're usually great. Get a classic like Margherita and you can't go wrong. I have been disappointed with some of their more out-there creations, but I can forgive. The crust is perfectly crispy and doughy. Best flavor I've had--the Elote! Bring it back!

Diane G.

90% of the people giving dimo's 5 stars MUST have been drunk. It's great after 1am and when you're piss ass drunk and just want some sexy carbs to soak up some of that liquor. But even then, the pizza is not all that, lacking in flavor (at least the penne mushroom one was), and really worth slightly less than the $3.75 it cost. If you can survive the train ride or trek to Cheesies for your midnight fix, I'd do it. Apparently mac n' cheese on grilled cheese is better than pizza. Sincerely, tipsy at 2 am

I LOVE Dimos! We drive 40 mins to get this pizza or pick it up every time we go to a Cubs game cause it is so amazing! They are not just trying to be cool with their unusual toppings...it's actually good pizza! I have had the Mac and Cheese which is amazing, Cheesy Potato, Cheese Tortilinni, Lasagna, and one covered in meat and I love them all...their vegan selection is great too...great price too...totally worth giving it a try!

Attention Chicago. This is what a thin crust pizza is supposed to look like and taste like! As a native New Yorker, few things annoy me more than a "thin crust" pizza where the crust is thinner than a cracker, the toppings are buried under the cheese, and the pie is cut into 16 little tiny squares. It's a sacrilege. So I definitely appreciate Dimo's with their large, filling slices and creative toppings. My first selection was a slice of spinach/roasted peppers/tomatoes. The proportions were pretty balanced, with a good amount of veggies and cheese to crust. The veggies tasted very fresh, not overdone, and I liked the crunch of the crust. I do wish the outer crust had been a little thicker, just so I could chew it a little bit more. Also, I tend to like a saucier pizza, but there was just enough where it didn't taste like just a flatbread. My second choice was a slice chicken parmesan pizza. This was tremendous. It had bits of seasoned fried chicken along with a little parsley and parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. I would order this one again. I got a large glass bottle of Coke and I only paid $10. That's pretty much a steal for downtown. Not only that, but the guys behind the counter are very approachable. They explained some of the different slices I had questions about and were even open to hearing my feedback about some different topping ideas like adding an olive oil base option. Definitely a place to check out in Wrigleyville. And I hear I should check out a slice of mac and cheese...

Best vegan pizza around!! It's so hard to pick a favorite, they're all so delicious!! Super fun atmosphere, boxed water (wicked cute), KICK ASS STAFF, and just all around a truly superb business. Go here!! Get a slice of each kind!

One of my favorite late night food stops for some Wrigleyville post-game (not referring to Cubs). Since I'm one of those happy, hungry drunks, Dimo's is a little slice of heaven for me. If the line is not out the door, which it sometimes is on the weekends, I will walk on in and proceed to be overwelmed with amazing pizza options...options that only a drunk or stoned mastermind could ever dream of. Mac-n-cheese, steak and fries, tortellini, chicken parm, chicken n waffles (when I want to expose my ghetto side)....the combinations seem to be endless. I can't tell you how many Dimo's punch cards are laying around my house with only 3 punches in them...I need to remember to bring these things out with me! But don't only consider this a late night stop, Dimo's is BYOB, so be sure to use this as a preparty place for Cubs games, or for a start to your Wrigleyville Friday night. There is a liquor store a block south of this place, so get a bottle of Jameson, and grab yourself the window booth over looking Clark St. It's prime people watching for angry bros fighting, girls crying on sidewalks, and everything else that is great about this neighborhood.

New York style pizza at 3am. I'll take it. I tried the white pizza and buffalo chicken. Both were excellent.

It wouldn't be a Cubs game with a stop at Dimo's after (of as I still refer to it - Ian's). The name was the only thing that changed, the pizza is still just as good and unique and the staff is still just as fun and helpful. I usually get a slice from the gallery and then my favorite which is smores. If you don't see smores you should probably ask for it, it's that good. They always have daily specials and on Thursdays they have vegan specials. Now i'm not vegan by any means, I just think it's nice that they have the option. You can get a punch card to earn free slices. For the price and variety, Dimo's is the best thing you can eat in Wrigleyville!

2 slices of pizza saved my life last Thursday! Good for soaking up alcohol...good stuff

McDonald's and Taco Hell eventually catch up to you. This is a solid late night option if in Wrigleyville. Slices are large and meaty (don't say it) for a thin crust style pizza. I got two slices and a dr pepper for $8.50. Boxed water is $2.50, gimme a break!
(3)
Alex M.

I just ordered the most amazing vegan pizza from Dimo's! Their vegan monthly special (thanksgiving on a pizza) is so good. Last time I ordered their vegan mac n' cheese pizza and it was also amazing. I highly recommend this place, especially to those vegans in Chicago who are looking for an amazing vegan pizza!

Abigail C.

I come here often and am always happy. I have never been here when it was particularly busy so I always have a great time. Eat delicious pizza and sing a long to some great songs with minimal wait, what's not to love? They have something for everyone, even vegans!

We ordered the Mac & Cheese pizza tonight to try it out for the first time. We were so excited about trying this out. However, once we received the pizza & bit into it. We realized it was over done & almost completely burnt but not quite. Despite that I ate a piece & my girl only ate the Mac & cheese off the crust. We paid $28 bucks plus tip for a burnt pizza. Kinda upset, but might give this place another chance. Maybe it was a bad night.
(1)
Sierra H.

The pizza is decent but for some reason they never have any cheese pizza by the slice. They usually only have the mac n cheese pizza for vegetarians and I personally don't like it. It is good when you are wanting just a slice of pizza but I would probably just walk a few more blocks south and go to girodanos.
(4)
Lisa C.

So we had an issue with our delivery experience, but the customer service there is amazing because they handled our situation wonderfully!! They re sent out our correct order and didn't charge us for the pizza's and on top if it they gave us 2 vouchers for free slices next time we come in. So basically we ended up with a lot of pizza and it was great! The best part is they drew a pumpkin eating a slice of pizza on our pizza box as we requested on grubhub. My only thing is the vegan pizza needs a lot more vegan cheese on it...I'm willing to pay extra!!

Pizza is my favorite food and NY style pizza is my favorite pizza varietal. Therefore, Dimo's (nee Ian's) is like heaven for me. Unfortunately I don't make it to Dimo's as much as I'd like since I avoid Wrigleyville like the plague, but after my most recent visit I was reminded how much I love this place. We entered and were greeted by an enthusiastic (REALLY enthusiastic employee). We asked her to explain what all the pizza types in the case were. Dimo's has everything from normal toppings (yawn) to crazy toppings (curry, anyone? more on that later...) There are meaty, veggie, and now even vegan pizza to choose from. After much negotiation, dining companion and I settled on mac and cheese, chicken bacon ranch bbq (aforementioned enthusiastic employee's recommendation) and chicken curry. Our three slices were popped in the over to warm up and we grabbed seats. A few minutes later, we were called over to claim our bounty. So as I said, Dimo's is true NY style pizza - giant, thin, floppy triangular slices. I love 'em. Dimo's crust is also perfect. It's slightly sweet and manages to hold up to all the toppings. To my great shock, the chicken curry pizza was my far and away favorite. Sadly this was a weekly special and looks to be off the current menu. I really, really hope it comes back. The bbq was my second favorite followed in distant third by the mac and cheese. It may be Dimo's most popular pizza, but I found it pretty bland (especially compared to our other two slices). Not yet full and wanting to sample another pizza type, I wandered back to the counter to order ones last slice of steak nacho pizza. It was, of course, delicious. Dimo's does offer delivery, but I'm not entirely sure how well their slices would hold up to travel (Though as Ian's they didn't deliver to my house and I notice now, as Dimo's, they do. Commence fatness. ) They're BYOB and they're fantastic. Who cares if they're in Wrigleyville?
(5)
Sophia T.

Dimo's I'm in love with you! The crust is freagin ridiculous and your vegan pizza menu? seriously? you make me so happy and tingly. ordered a whole pie and loved every morsel of it. jeez, i don't remember which. but it was so tasty, who cares? i want to be back for slices Tuesdays so I can sample 13 different kinds of V pizza. love you!!!!!!!!!

Rosanna L.

I was first introduce to Ian's Pizza at a friend's apartment. I walked in and was like OMG mac and cheese pizza?!?! I love mac and cheese and I love pizza, what can be a better combo? I definitely had a slice and the buttery and cheesiness of it was just right for me. So ever since than every time I'm near Wrigleyville I have to stop at Ian's! The mac and cheese never disappoint me! Another favorite is the BBQ chicken which just has the right touch of BBQ and ranch! I can't wait to go back and try their other slices! Nomnom in my tummy!
(5)
Salvatore A.

Sue and I stopped in for a slice before going to the IO theater to see a friend perform. Like a seashore pizza place the way its set up with the wooden tables. Sometimes, you have to sit with someone you don't know. The pie was good but, not the best I have had . I had the Mac n cheese and Sue had the chicken and pesto, both white. I will be going back to try one with sauce since I did not get to try it. Reminds me of Lorenzo's on South street in Philly. My favorite Pizza ever since I was a kid cause they hand toss every pie as you watch amazed that he didn't drop it or rip the gigantic pizzas. Recommended if you are in the area.

I never knew that pizza could make you angry... until I ate at Ian's. While this flavorless, dried out pizza did not rouse my taste buds, it did stir my viscera with rage and make me see red. Why so angry? This was the worst pizza I've ever tasted, and I'd just dumped $24 + a generous tip on it. I'm no stranger to bad pizza. I grew up in southwest Ohio, where the pizza scene of the 80's and 90's was a very bleak thing indeed. I've tasted some crappy, chewy, dry, undercooked, overcooked, uninspired, unappealing, disgusting bad pizza, so allow me to reiterate: The Ian's Pizza I had last night was the worst pizza I've ever tasted. The guys working were very sweet, very friendly, and helpful when I had questions placing my order. However, perhaps they should have encouraged me to order one of their specialty pizzas because maybe that's all that Ian's really does well, or even just moderately well. Instead, I ordered for take-out a large soy mozzarella pizza with portobello mushrooms, onion and bell pepper. Let's cover the pizza from top to bottom: PEPPERS AND ONION: Usually, when I order these toppings, the peppers and onion soften ever so slightly in the oven, arriving in a fresh and palatably less sharp and crunchy taste and texture. On Ian's Pizza, the onions and peppers were completely raw, so much so I might have thought they were added *after* the pizza went in the oven. SOY CHEESE: Where's the cheese?! While it's true soy cheese doesn't melt well, it helps the dairy free customer's cause when you use more than a tiny child-sized handful of cheese to sprinkle over the pizza. The amount of cheese on the pizza was abysmal. Our cheese looked skimpy compared to what I saw searching online for images of Ian's pizza. (See the photo I posted of ours.) It was flavorless soy cheese too, and as Cristene mentioned, Daiya might be a better option. I guess we'd have to order extra-extra-extra cheese to at least cover more of the pizza, or it also might have been more palatable if we had more: TOMATO SAUCE: Again, so little to speak of and flavorless. Absolutely flavorless! Parts of the pizza had none, all of it was dried out. If my options are less flavorless sauce and more dried out pizza or more flavorless sauce and less dried out pizza, I am in a quandary of questionable dining... though I would probably opt for more sauce in the end. Since the pizza was both so dry and so flavorless, we gave up after eating one slice, went back to the box and added olive oil and spices to the pizza before tossing it in the oven in hopes of resuscitating it. It was slightly better. The MUSHROOMS were fine. I don't know, y'all. Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe it was an off-night. Maybe you have to order one of those specialty pizzas. Maybe you have to be wasted after a Cubs game. Maybe you have to order a non-vegan pizza. In the light of day, anger fades and I am left totally baffled. I had been looking forward to trying Ian's for so long and surprising my dairy-free boyfriend with a great pizza and movie night at home. Instead, he wound up upset that I had spent money on this terrible excuse for pizza. In fact, he asked me to go to you Yelpers directly. "You have to warn them," he said. I promised I would, so here we are. Skip Ian's. Go somewhere--anywhere--else.

Hey Dimos!!!!!!! If you're not open, then don't keep your tacky "OPEN" sign lit up. I was starving and driving by, and thought you were open so I found a parking spot and paid the meter and walked to go into your pizza pad. Your door was locked and no one was inside.

Chelsa P.

Right price, and sooo much selection. Love everything that I have gotten here (I've been a few times). Everyone says that the Mac'n'cheese is the best, and it is very very good, but I am more of a veggie person, so the one with the black beans, avocado, and tomatoes is more my style (and amazing by the way). And they recycle and they have a can crusher, which reminds me of my childhood, great place!

Sarah K.

I've said some pretty bad things about the Ian's in Madison, but that was because of this douche I knew who worked there. He doesn't work for Ian's anymore, so now I can admit that their pizza is some of the best ever. Their normal slices - cheese, pepperoni, etc - are really good, but the mac and cheese is out of this world. The taco pizza is good too, with tons of toppings and stuff. Even though for many years I only ever had the mac and cheese, I'm now trying lots of different types because they are all SO GOOD. Part of it is, much like in Madison, I usually come here when slightly drunk - not so drunk that I want to go to Taco Bell, but definitely not sober, and it's also very much that it feels just like the original Ian's but with less people. It's even painted the same colors.

Courto G.

Haven't tried this outlet, but the original Madison outlet is da-leesh-uss. Even sober. Ian - get some delivery and I will order weekly!!!

I've been here twice and both times I was in heaven! A friend of mine turned me on to this place and I can see why it's his fave! This pizza is soooo good and soooo fresh! The topics are crazy creative and I feel like a kid at Christmas walking into this place. You never know what kind of pizza they are going to come up with next! So far my faves are the mac n cheese and the taco pizza! Yum!
(5)
Sarah P.

Yet another reason why I keep beating myself up for not moving to Chicago earlier. Having this right around the corner from my new place is going to be b-a-d n-e-w-s. All my friends know that my 2 biggest weaknesses after a night of partying are mac and cheese and pizza - so what do I find? Ian's puts the two together in one!! And by god it was delicious. I better join a running group so I don't become 400 pounds within the first few months of moving in.

Coming from a former customer of the month, Ians is amazing! Get the pesto tortillini or the smokey the bandit.

Jason G.

Had some of the pre-made slices and they were just as tasty. Consistent 4 stars. It was a lot more crowded this time and it was later, so there had been some drinking going on. It was pretty awesome how different types of groups coexisted in the place. I was happy.

Evan S.

IANS is amazing. It almost doesn't matter what kind of pizza you get--there are many varieties and most of them are good. I got their S'Mores pizza the other week, and aside from turning the tables in favor of diabetes, it was delicious. The price is right, the staff is friendly, but if you don't like supremely drunk people, don't come here on the weekends. They're all right with me, so I do. Only 4 more punches to go on my Free Pizza card.

Dyan F.

I want to bake myself into an Ian's Pizza and eat my way out. I think Ian's really has soemthing for everybody- I've found some varieties that I really adore, such as the Mac N Cheese and the Taco/Mexican Pizza, where as I've struck out with others but know there are fans of those. They cater to many tastes and provide a consistently delicious product.

I'm so happy to have a vegan friendly pizza joint to replace Delisi's in Chicago. The first time I went here, it was a little eh, but I pinpointed the problem: the olives. Olives usually play a staring role in my vegan pizzas, but here they taste like they're straight out of the jar and the briney taste tainted the rest of my pizza. All trips since this realization have been much more pleasant. The last time I went there was incredible. They were giving out samples of three amazing vegan pizzas in preparation for Mercy for Animal's vegan week at the end of October. My boyfriend and I tried all of them and all they asked for was feedback. After samples of three pizzas, I wasn't even hungry for the HUGE ASS pie we'd ordered! But I was happy to have tried a vegan lasagna pizza, a vegan bbq chicken pizza and a vegan buffalo chicken pizza. They were all awesome and the chef gave me a lot of ideas for future pizza orders (and homemade pizzas!) and I can't wait to be back for vegan week!

My very first cubs game...and they were losing bad 10-1 so I left. Walking around town I founds this place. Very interesting pizzas here I had the Philly cheese steak pizza and a few bites of the gyro. Both were pretty good. Will try the BBQ next time I watch the cubs game.
(3)
Julie M.

Every piece of pizza that I get at Ians becomes my favorite, only to be cast off once I try a new one. Mac n Cheese pizza- yum. "papa bandit" pizza (potatoes, BBQ, Ranch and bacon) amazing. And if they have it- the smores pizza is all that you could hope for. The vibe is great, great music, fun people. Don't expect a quiet dining experience, or a seat, if your going late night. But yum yum yum.
(5)
Josselyn W.

Delicious pizza, and new and creative toppings!! Love that it's open late, and is way more interesting than that other place that's further north on Clark. Defintiely skip that greesy place and try the stuff here!! Soooo good!!
(5)
Jim O.

Best late night pizza in Lakeview. Mac N Cheese Pizza, Chicken Parm, Pasta....the options are endless. And they are all delicious, granted just about anything taste Delicious at 4am. Ians is a great place to stop on the way home from the bars, fill up on a big slice then head home and pass out.
(5)
JOANY B.

My family and I LOVED this place. We went every chance we had on our vacation in Jan. The Mac n Cheese....AMAZING. My husband who is not really a big fan of pizza really enjoyed the BBQ beef and fries. We have even talked about and craved a slice since. The owner should consider opening a location in Miami, wink wink.

I've had the Buffalo Chicken, Philly, and Smoky. I need to start trying different ones but I'm good for now. A must eat after a night of drinking in the area.

Allison B.

Not bad! Definitely a welcome break from the gross Chicago deep dish pizza (sorry Chitown). The pizza here is decadent, especially the mac and cheese. I'm not a fan of the rush-rush scenario here - quickly get in line, quickly grab what slices are left, quickly find a seat, quickly get out. But it IS called Ian's Pizza by the Slice, so they can't be faulted for false advertising. :) We might try take out next time so we can savor the flavor instead.

WOW! just moved to Wrigleyville and this is literally right across the street from me. Went there the other night and had a slice with asparagus and goat cheese (sounds weird but OMG) it was amazing! one of the best slices of pizza i ever had. I also tried the mac and cheese, and buffalo chicken and I can't wait to try all the rest! highly reccomended. the girls were insanely friendly too and you get a card they stamp so you get a free slice after you get 10 punches, awesome

Kate M.

I have just discovered Ian's and I am in love. I will preface my review by admitting that I am an adventurous foodie. I love extravagant food, and condiments, and too many and too much. Which is one of the things that drew me to Chicago--it's overt over-the-topness when it comes to food. I will also admit that being from Boston, I have never quite taken to the little squares of pizza that the Chicagoans are into. I like a big, triangular slice, so I can hold onto the crust and dig in to the good stuff. There's something wonderful about that first bite of the pointy end of a slice that cannot be replicated by a bite-sized square of pizza. So right off the bat when I saw SLICES behind the counter at Ian's, I knew I was in for something good. But what of these toppings? These combinations? Did I just hear someone ordering MAC N CHEESE pizza? I asked for a menu and instead was given the 5-star tour of the warming tray. Steak and fries, penne pasta, lasagne, guacamole burrito...my heart was fluttering. I ordered a slice of veggie taco. The first bite of the flavorful crust with black beans, cheese, and perfectly cooked bell peppers brought a tear to my eye. I inhaled the slice in about 1 minute flat, and then regretted that it was gone. I went back within a week and requested the guacamole burrito. They didn't have any but they offered to make one for me if I'd wait...so of course I waited. The guys who were working were immensely friendly and chatty, making it a pleasure to wait for the requested slice. And the slice was, of course, heavenly. I have told everyone I know about Ian's and I will continue to be a frequent customer. In fact, I think I'll head over there for dinner tonight!

Michael M.

can you say "fuck" on yelp? 'cause, HOLY FUCK. mind totally blown by this place. just amazing. i ate shrimp soup, in pizza form mind you, and it was absolutely fantastic. mac & cheese and BBQ pizzas were no joke either. go to ians with friends and everyone get a different slice, SHARE, SON! you'll love everything.

Ryan M.

Had the large pineapple pizza. Crust is great, pineapple portion was a bit sparse but adequate. Well priced.

Jill and Ying J.

You really can't go wrong with Ian's, even though they give themselves plenty of opportunities to fail. Mac&cheese.... on a pizza? Steak and fries? Spinach and portabella? CHICKEN AND MASHED POTATOES? WITH BACON?! These are entrees, not pizza toppings! But with your first bite into that perfectly leaven crust with that perfect thickness and consistency, any hesitation will be overcome by one sensation and one sensation only.....MUST EAT MORE. We came on one of those cold windy nasty March evenings that Chicago is so famous for, and yet the weather did nothing but accentuate how fantastically awesome this place is. Coupled with some super-cool dudes behind the counter who were extremely knowledgeable (perhaps overly so?) about their pizza, BYOB, a casual atmosphere, and no bullshit pricing, this is just a great place for some great pizza. Pure and simple...even though they make it as complicated as their imaginations can take them.

Jaclyn C.

i dont even know where to begin. i lived in italy for a while and when i came back i was disgusted by american pizza, it just doesnt compare. but for the longest time my roommate was obsessed with this place and i kept telling her, i didnt care, i dont like pizza unless its Italian. yeah.. she made me eat my words. i was FLOORED when i first had Ian's. i'm not picky at all, ill try anything, and ive eaten all over the world and i honest to god believe that their Mac and Cheese pizza is one of the best things i've ever put in my mouth. its amazing. they come up with the best pizza topping combinations ever. if your craving it, they probably have it. and best of all they always have a ton of vegetarian options and sometimes vegan too! staff is w.e i dont go there for the service, i go for the food. the staff is mostly there to heat up the pizza and take your money, and im cool with that. only problem i have is that their hours are weird? they open during the evening and kind of close whenever people stop coming.

Sunil A.

One of the best thin crust pizzas in Chicago. Mac n cheese pizza is surprisingly amazing. Great place to bring some beers (byob) and grab some pizza before or after a cubbies game. The florentine pizza is really good as well.
(5)
A. M.

Oh, Ian's, thank you for bringing your goodness to Chicago - and only two blocks from where I live! I think some of our late night meetings have resulted in a few extra lbs this past year. The mac and cheese is the absolute best! However the steak and fries (w/ bbq sauce!) is a close second. I can't tell you how excited I am that Ian's is delivering!
(5)
Cameron C.

I have a confession to make. I am addicted to Ian's Mac and Cheese pizza. After looking at my bank statement and seeing like 4 or 5 "ians pizza" charges in a weeks time, I knew something was wrong. I have since cut back to about once a week to provide my body with enough recovery time, but i really would eat if everyday if i didnt care about my temple. MMMM mmmm good. The place is pretty small, but it works. The walk up to the counter is my favorite part- The doors swing open, the heavenly smell of fresh pizza comes creeping into your nostrils and your eyes immediately lock onto the counter and the several flavors of slices already prepared. I've tried a few different types and I have to say my fav's are the Fritos and Chili (was a special a few weeks ago-anyone else remember walking tacos??) and the Mac and Cheese. I need to try the Alfredo looking one, bet thats good. I think delivery just started up---whoooooo hooooooooo, just what the addict needs ! =)

Rachell G.

If you went to MSU, or have visited East Lansing, you've probably been to Giorgio's, the pizza place in the "hamster run" parking structure with the crazy toppings (gyro, lasagna, taco). Ian's is just like Giorgio's, except better. Love the crust.
(4)
Wendy L.

a friend and i go to a different pizza place in chicago each week and ian's was a great discovery. although i don't usually enjoy thin crust, i loved all the options for toppings. i got a slice of the macaroni pizza and then built my own (bell peppers and french fries) both very tasty :-) the staff is super friendly and kindly guided us through the many toppings and options without a tude. they also have vegan pizza too. kudos to that!
(4)
Jeff S.

Great late night food after a night of drinking. There is such a wide variety of pizzas to choose from. The line moves pretty quickly and the staff is friendly despite all of the intoxicated people at the restaurant. Seating could be a problem but usually isn't.
(4)
Chris W.

Great pizza for any occasion. They're open late, so head there after the bars. The line typically gets longer as the night goes on, so expect to wait but it's worth it. You must try the Mac N Cheese pizza if it's your first time. They also have fast delivery for Wrigleyville residents.
(5)
A. R.

I have been to Ian's a handful of times and have been fortunate enough to sample their ridiculous array of pizzas. Even after all of those visits, and a greater number of slices, I don't think that I have repeated a type of pizza yet. Their gyro pizza, mac and cheese slice, bbq chicken pizza, pesto-tomato pie, plain cheese pizza, and chicken parm slice have all been quite good. I have no real complaints because I have never been dissatisfied. Yet, perhaps the pizza artists at Ian's could concoct more pizzas with traditional pizza sauce. Out of all of their pizzas that I have tried, the only one that had regular sauce was the cheese pizza. Maybe I have been ignorant of such pies, but if they had more pizzas with traditional pizza sauce I would boost their rating from 4 to 5 stars. Until that time, and I hope it comes soon, 4 stars it is for Ian's.
(4)
Jenny C.

LOVE IT!! Ok, not only are the owners from Ann Arbor, MI (which is where I'm from), but the food is amazing! It can be a little pricey, but that tends to be the case with any restaurant that sells HUGE slices of pizza by-the-slice. Everyone who works there is extremely nice too. All their ingredients look and taste fresh. AND it's open late, so it's always nice to go after the bars... though if you don't get there at just the right time, there tends to be a long line and it gets crowded in there.

The pizza's good. I liked the crust particularly. What I didn't like is that most of the vegetarian slices seemed to come from pizzas that had meat on half of them. This makes me think they aren't made for vegetarians and that Ian's Pizza doesn't want my money. It's strange that a business from State Street in Madison, Wisconsin would do something so uncouth. I want to give them two stars for shunning my patronage but I liked the crust and the flesh is weak.

leaving the bars? hungry? Go to ians. get the mac n cheese pizza, put a lil franks hot sauce on it. You will thank me later. (really anything there is good!!)

Very different types of pizza like macaroni and cheese pizza, chicken Alfredo pizza, Doritos pizza, etc. great drunk food. Cheap and delicious
(4)
Fawn J.

Best "drunk" pizza ever. Take this review as you will: I was drunk and hungry. But this pizza was so great, I inhaled it! It was also really fun being there with several other drunk Chicagoans in the same position. I really respect the employees of this place putting up with the craziness of a Saturday night 2am rush. Catering pizza to the weekend Wrigleyville crowd is smart business sense! I'll definitely be back ... once I'm over the hangover from the last time.
(4)
Allison G.

I'm from the northeast. I love NY pizza. For some reason the 800 or so miles between Chicago and NYC have made it impossible to duplicate the thin, crisp/chewy crust that I so adore, Thank you Ian's-you've finally done it:) p.s. Skip all the fruit loop toppings--they're good, but straight-up pepperoni is better.
(4)
Brian S.

I can't say enough good things about Ian's Pizza, but the first thing is that it's like a taste of home... like Peace a Pizza in Stone Harbor, NJ (my long-standing favorite pizza in the world - yelp.com/biz/peace-a-pizâ€¦ ) but BETTER! Much has been said about Ian's inventive toppings, like steak-n-fries or s'mores... but not enough has been said about their CRUST! It's the perfect balance of crispy and chewy that so many pizza parlors strive for but never reach. The crust is what separates Ian's from Peace a Pizza (and all other competition). To top it all off, Ian's has a VERY friendly staff, late-night hours, and relatively cheap slices for the Wrigleyville area. I'd recommend Ian's to anyone at anytime!
(5)
Elizabeth H.

Must try: Mac & Cheese Pizza. I know it might seem weird or even simple compared with the other options, but you really HAVE to try it! I have been wanting to try the other pizzas but have never made it past the Mac & Cheese because I don't go here often enough. They just started delivering, which is a bonus, but it doesn't start until later. Best times to go are late night and early afternoon. The line moves quickly so don't be scared off by it. Enjoy your slice and let me know if I'm missing out on their other stuff.

I always have to stop by here when I am in Wrigley! Mac n Cheese pizza is bomb! Never stop making that :) I took some of my friends, and they were super immpressed and loved it. I wish there were more locations.

I'll spare you the "Insert food here on a pizza??!!??!!" expression of shock and awe. Ian's really makes a great attempt at wrapping our old favorite in a new package and even tying a bow on it, that many have not seen before or wanted to think about. Every flavor combination is well thought out and had a pleasurable taste. However each slice tried (6) fell slightly short. Flavors that pop and seasoning to please take a back seat to the expression mentioned above. Each slice was enjoyable in it's own right, but I would be hard pressed to order a whole pizza of any one of their concepts. As you would imagine meats on the za were overcooked and lacked the spice or pop necessary to muscle its way into the mouths of seasoned pizza lovers, in the city that took the classic to a new level. As a pizza innovating town, anyone who can get to 'the city that works' without a car, knows that we sure do welcome a new player here. This joint wants to roll the dice on an old favorite in an attempt hit the jackpot. Ian's looks like a shooter but ends up bouncing the rocks over the side of the table. Everyone simply stares at them with eyes that say "you have rolled before, right?" I would like to taste more flavors that make me want to order up a whole pie, but there is not one slice on the menu i would want 2-4 more of to fill out a meal. Kick up the flavors a couple of notches and then we can talk about getting Ian's comp'ed. For a town with so many Za options you won't be seeing them at a final table anytime soon. A great concept befallen by execution. Yelp rating = 2 stars and as far as everyone's favorite college late night treat (no not that one) goes, anyone in Chi-Tonw [sic] has better within a stones throw. Food 10/20 Ambiance/Decor 13/20 $$$ 4/20 Execution of concept 12/20 Experience 14/20 +6 bonus points for innovation Overall 59/100 = Barely falls short/not overly compelled to return

This place is pretty fun. Novelty pizza slices for the win! I rather enjoyed the pesto tortellini and the marguerita. The mac & cheese is just about what you'd expect, but it's so fun to eat that you'd be hard pressed not to smile. Lots of drunk dudes and ladies at night, though. Expect it to get packed once these Wrigleyville folks start drinking. Luckily the staff know how to keep the line moving pretty fast.

I think any place calling itself a pizza joint should have quality cheese pizza. A great piece of pizza shouldn't need shitloads of weird toppings. The hipsters can hate on me all they want for my opinion, but there is something divine about a simple slice of pie - the way God and the Italians intended. With that said, I thought Ian's was pretty decent. The crust was delicious and chewy, the folks who work here are very friendly and overall we were pleased I live in the neighborhood and will be back to check it out again.

Mac and Cheese pizza?! So good. Chicken Taco Pizza? Amazing. Baken Potato pizza? Unheard of! I walked there in the snow with a numb face just for this pizza! Ian's Pizza has inspired me to share the joy of mac and cheese pizza. No one believes me when i say its delicious. They will learn!

Vegan Pizza! THEY make vegan pizza! Not only is their crust vegan but they also have Upton's brand faux meats. Although I am not a fan of vegan cheese, they do use Tease Cheez if you want it. My husband who eats everything was in heaven with the large selection of pizza slices available. These are both tradional and combinations that you might have never concidered. The staff was wonderful and seemed very happy to be there. The music was great AND, Ian's is all into the recycling & being green. Bravo! The only downside, they do not deliver as far north as Rogers Park.

Aly D.

Great tasting, cheap slices. It is BYOB and is a great spot for a few drinks and pizza before a Cubs game - if you get there early to snag a seat. The staff is very friendly even when it gets really busy in there. Try it out!

Philly... Cheesesteak ....Pizza. Do I have to write more? OK: Yes, this place gets slammed. It's in Wriglevyille and after games it's something of a zoo. Also, there's very limited seating, so chances are your going to be getting your slice to go, but what incredible slices they are--oversized, thin crust, with a beguiling list of ingredients. Besides the Philly, I also love the black bean and guacamole and the regular sausage with mushrooms. It's one of the most innovative and consistent pizzerias to arrive in Chicago in several years. Highly recommended in every way.

Dan B.

Honestly this place is Phenomenal! At first you will feel unsure about their weird pizza creations like the chicken Alfredo pizza but when you try it you realize what a delicious combination it really is. I cant say enough good things, i ate here once with a date, we tried a total of 4 different slices, all weird all delicious. I dont get turned on by pizza that much but this was truly amazing. Seriously

Steve L.

Pizza was very doughy, almost like it wasn't cooked long enough. Almost un-edible. Too bad, makes me wonder if these reviews are faked or if we just had bad luck in our ordering. I hope the latter is true.

Susan B.

I love this pizza. Sometimes I wish they had at least some more traditional (and vegetarian) slices available for immediate carry-out, but this is good pizza. The crust is truly awesome. Somebody knows about dough here. Toppings are fresh. Sauce is good. Cheese? Well, these guys are from Madison. 'Nuf said. I'll pass on the Chicago-style hotdog pie, but Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm on pretty much everything else. Yet to try the pasta-pizza offerings.
(4)
Maxine C.

I loved that they had unique topping combinations that you would rarely find at any other pizza joint. My boyfriend and I tried a couple slices... including the portabella pesto, mac 'n' cheese, and Philly cheese steak. I would definitely recommend.
(4)
Brook G.

Well, they do have some interesting varieties. But I probably won't be back to try them. The mac & cheese pizza was only ok. It didn't have much flavor. In fact, as sad as it is, the m&c pizza from Cici's Pizza Buffet is actually better. So that says a lot. We also had the lasagna, steak burrito, and bbq chicken slices, which again were not very exciting. We actually ended up throwing away our leftovers instead of taking them home. And only offering overpriced cans of soda instead fountain drinks always knocks off a star. Maybe we came on a day when the guy who doesn't make very good pizza was working? Maybe this place would be better if you were drunk? Either way, for $3.75 a slice I wouldn't willingly choose to eat here again.

After reading all of the rave reviews on Yelp, we went to Ian's on Friday for dinner. I ordered the infamous Mac & Cheese slice and my fiancee got the BBQ chicken ranch. I was pretty disappointed with my choice. The flavor was very bland and the pizza was just greasy, not even that cheesy. My fiancee on the other hand had a delicious slice. I was almost tempted to pitch mine and reorder what he had. Instead, I reluctantly finished mine and ordered a slice of the s'more pizza, which was decent. Overall, I would say check Ian's but buy a box of Kraft if you're craving Mac & Cheese.
(3)
Ashley V.

YUM!!!!! Went with a friend, got a few slices to split and loved every bite. My top two recommendations right now. BBQ Chicken Bacon Ranch and the Pesto Portabella. The slices are huge and the crust is the perfect compliment to the jazzed up toppings. The guy behind the counter was friendly and efficient. This is a great addition to the neighborhood bringing in another quick, different alternative to the same fast food places.

Christa R.

Had Ian's at a fundraiser this weekend and got to try a few different kinds. All were amazing. Their XL pies are GINORMUS. The BBQ chicken and mac and cheese pizza were to die for. I am officially a regular now. This is a great guilty pleasure so keep their number on your fridge.
(4)
Ang R.

Yum. I quite liked all the pizzas I tried (Puttanesca, Mac and Cheese, and Spicy Chicken Taco), and one of the attractions of Ian's is that there's many many more to try. This pizza probably isn't for purists (though the pepperoni was a pretty good representation of NY style pizza); it's for people who like fun food. I mean, come on? Tortellini on pizza? Mac and cheese on pizza? It's fun and different, and oh-so-tasty. You can say you don't like it, and that's fine, but don't rag on it because it's not "pizza", because it's not trying to be, clearly. It is what it is. And frankly, it is delicious. This will become a regular Friday night dinner spot for us, I think.

Loved it! The Mac n' Cheese rocks and for dessert you must try the Smores pizza it's awesome. The guy behind the counter was so nice.... my nieces love it and the music they play rocks and whom ever makes there mix's should sell them :)

Amber D.

So obviously this place doesn't need my review. I have to say how happy I am that I strolled in today after seeing a couple eating the most delicious looking piece of pizza I had ever seen. It turns out it was a lasagna pizza. This slice is now my current favorite over Pie hole's pizza selections. SO GOOD!!!!! All of the pizza in this place looked amazing so I feel pretty confidant giving it five stars.

Toby R.

The Pizza was mediocre at best, nothing stood out. The service and ambiance are much better.

Adam M.

Surprisingly delicious! I've tried Ian's twice now, and have sampled the following pizza varieties: Mac n Cheese, Philly Cheese Steak, Pepperoni / Mushroom, and Something with Chicken On It (not the proper menu name, but wouldn't it be cool if it was?) All were tasty. I love thin crust pizza, and this place makes a great one, even if their combinations are bizarre, gimmicky, and amusing (yet all so devourable!!). I think $3.75 for a 'signature' slice is a little high, but they do what no one around (that I know of) does with their pizzas. I might change my rating to 5 stars if you open up a location closer to my home.

First off; if you have to have tomato sauce on a pizza in order for you to like it, then leave your fancy pizza pants at the door. (Secondly, live a little poindexter.) I had a slice of mac and cheese and a slice of pineapple and BBQ chicken. OK yeah they reheat already cooked pizza. But I like my crust crisp so I'm not complaining. Mac and cheese pizza was weird but in a weirdly good way. It was like having two of my favorite comfort foods combined. The pineapple and chicken was pretty good. Not enough sauce or toppings. But still, pretty good taste all around. But because a place isn't just about the food, I have to comment on the decor. OK I get it, a couple of young guys opened a pizza place because they had this cool idea to make weird pizza. That's really cool but don't treat the place like your basement. The line of red paint that meets the white ceiling is as wavy as the ocean and that's just stupid because taping off a paint line is so simple a monkey could do it. Maybe they were just counting on serving drunks but guess what? I was drunk and I STILL noticed. As a positive, if you didn't live in wrigleyville and wanted to pre-party with food, this place is BYOB with a liquor store only a few doors down. Genius.

David G.

I really wanted to give this place 3 stars but I went with 4.. When we got into Chicago it was around 5:00pm on a Friday.. Oh and did I mention there was a Cubs game. So there was an immense amount of stress I endured traveling through the sea of drunks and traffic that was Chicago that night. However, Ian's pizza shouldn't suffer because of that. So with that said.. As far as the pizza goes, it was a good slice of pizza at a fair price for a downtown area. The service is fast and friendly (especially considering they deal with large amounts of customers, mostly intoxicated). It wasn't the best pieces of pizza I have ever had, but they had a wide selection, and I was satisfied with my purchase.

The best pizza in wrigleyville! Always something new and super yummy. You can't just get one slice!

Christina B.

I've been to the Ian's in Madison and was ecstatic they opened one in Chicago! The food is fun and delicious! The employees are wonderful! They are friendly, helpful, funny and seem like they're your best friends. The music is loud but sets the mood as a fun, young, hangout. I'm a follower on facebook and they always hold contests and send out reminders of their slice of the week. Further, they have a frequent customer card (buy 10, 11th free) which is awesome. Love Ian's so much!
(5)
Malcolm B.

NOTHING BETTER than cheap HUGE slices of pizza at 1:30 in the morning when you've only got $5 in your pocket and delivering a pizza of similar size would cost you over $17 bucks! NOTHING BETTER than expecting regular old sausage, cheese, pepperoni, and supreme flavors and finding flavors such as: PHILLY CHEESE STEAK MACARONI AND CHEESE BBQ CHICKEN W/ BACON AND RANCH AND CHEESE CHICKEN ROTINI ALFREDO? CHICAGO-STYLE HOTDOG Amazing flavors! Amazing price! Huge size! Stays open LATE! Real LATE! BYOB! Flat screen with the CUBS GAME! GET YOUR BUTT IN THERE AND GET SOME PIZZA, DUDE!

Some friends took us to Ian's Pizza last night, and it was delicious. I was starving and ordered 3 pieces of pizza. I had something with buffalo chicken, black beans, and other stuff, which was tasty. I had one that was like a loaded baked potato (with potato slices on it), which was great. I tried the mac and cheese.... hello delicious. And I tried the smores pizza, which is the perfect ending to the meal. Why only four stars? I'm a tough grader. :) I also had a can of soda, but there was no recycling bin. So, I asked about it. The guys seemed like they are really working to get a recycle bin, and agreed to take my can home to their personal recycle bin. This could have been a line to get me to leave, but I appreciated the effort. The guys working there were also really attentive to us, making sure we were enjoying our pizza. The atmosphere was ok. It's got big tables, which was good for our semi-large group, but I imagine there is a lot of table-sharing when it gets busy. The music was a little loud, but I appreciated the old school music. Think Michael Jackson, circa late 80's. Fun. Overall, it was great food, good price, fun atmosphere. Recycle boys, recycle!!

Ian's gets four stars. Since everyone has given great reasons why it deserves 5 (friendly staff, unique pizza), I will tell you why it loses 1 star. -0.5 star - The line is ridiculously long at 2am on your average weekend night. Not much Ian's can do about that but it has still driven me to Chicago Pizza instead as the late night pizza choice on a couple occasions. -0.5 - They run out of their special ALL THE TIME. This is super annoying when they advertise a special of the week and then don't have it. This is not a late night, sell out, phenomenon as I have gone to Ian's prior to going out at 6pm and have left without a slice. Furthermore, the Smokey and the Bandit is their best pizza and the last 2 times I have been to Ian's, they have been out of it. Otherwise, it has achieved legendary status reserved for the Kuma's & Hot Doug's of the world.

I called Ian's one night after seeing good reviews online, and shortly after I moved into my Lakeview apartment. The first night I called, there was a home Cubs game and they said they don't deliver when the Cubs are playing at home. I was pretty bummed, but tried again another night. The guy who answered the phone was super sweet and friendly. I ordered the Mac & Cheese pizza and LOVED it. Super delicious. It's a little salty (although I love salt, so this was right up my alley). However, it's tough to eat more than 2 slices in one sitting. It's a pretty heavy pizza, but absolutely delicious and worth the money and the wait. The guy who'd taken my order ended up being the guy to deliver my pizza, and he was just as friendly and courteous in person. I will definitely order from Ian's again!

Great mac n cheese pizza among others. Friendly ast service but can get crowded after bars let out. Definitely a must try!

Katja L.

After seven years of school in Madison, I feel I can write a review of Ian's without actually going to this location. Here is my review: Holy god damn is this pizza amazing. There is much talk of the Mac and Cheese slice, their specialty, but try some of the others. The black bean burrito slice is heavenly. If you get the "pan style," you only need one slice. Maybe even half. If you get the normal slice, two is totally the way to go.

Tashera P.

East coast transplant looking for a passable New York slice? Go to Ian's. The plain cheese is spot on. The wacky flavors are also tasty, but the plain cheese is the real gold.

Brad N.

After a Wrigleyville bar or just hungry for some pizza, this place is the best! Highlights: -Cheap with a great selection of creative pizzas -They do not deliver due to the pizza not arriving in prestine condition (quality control! Gotta be impressed by that) -Very nice attentive staff that is funny and actually enjoys working there. This place has yet to disappoint. Check it out immediately!
(5)
Ryan K.

I'm surprised how much I crave Ian's slices. I've tried many varieties - mac n' cheese, chicken blue, philly cheese steak, taco, pepperoni & mushroom, and I haven't had a bad slice yet. Many of their pizzas don't have red sauce, but rather a creme or other sauce that goes with the flavor. If they only served traditional toppings, then I would only classify them as above average because their crust alone is just OK...and I'd pick Piece as my favorite pizza with their suateed mushrooms. But Ian's re-creation of everyday dishes on pizza crust make an unbelievably great pizza. It's fun, different and definitely worth a visit.
(5)
Deborah W.

Decided to try this place based on the reviews here. We had a pepperoni & sausage pizza delivered - and, of course, had to try a slice of the Mac & Cheese. Delivery was fairly quick. The pizza, however, was - as others here have mentioned, VERY doughy where you couldn't even pick it up without a mess. I love doughy bread, but this was undercooked. The Mac & Cheese was definitely good to try, but not something I would want all the time. The raw dough though...uggh...makes me afraid to try this place again.

jenise r.

A pal told me about Mac & Cheese pizza a few weeks ago, I couldn't even imagine it honestly. Then I wondered why I was never told about this place before? I initially though we had to order a whole pizza-which was fine by me! We walk in and I couldnt believe they had it by the slice! We had to wait about 10 minutes for ours because it was being baked but that was fine with us. Nice and fresh. I also noticed a lasagna pizza and a tortellini pizza really caught my eye. My slice was perfect, the crust somehow tasted buttery the mac and cheese was really good and I can't wait to eat it again. I can only imagine mac & cheese with bacon..... I'm glad I have a friend that lives a few blocks away from here, I see us ordering from here soon. Very soon.

THIS REVIEW IS FOR IAN'S PIZZA. I'VE NEVER HAD DIMO'S PIZZA, AND YELP TRANSFERRED ALL OF IAN'S REVIEWS TO DIMO'S. I gotta agree with Nancy X. I thought this place was good, but not "holy god damn" amazing like Katja L. I too, was a little disappointed with the Mac and Cheese Pizza. It was bland. I could taste a little of the cheese, but it wasn't the knock-out awesomeness like everyone said it was. It was literally like how you think Mac and Cheese on a pizza would taste. Meh. I also had a slice of the BBQ Steak and Fries, which was OK as well. The steak didn't have much taste at all, and the fries tasted a little weird on the pizza because they were kind of dried out. So essentially, I was eating cheese pizza with a drizzling of BBQ sauce -- it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't exactly what I was expecting or craving. Crust was very good though. Crispy on the outside, chewy and flavorful on the inside. I did find the size of the slices adequate, but not HUGE like others have said. Two slices did it for me, and if you factor in a can of pop, it set me back about $8 -- not the best deal in the world. I might go back here after a late night of drinking on Clark because it's decent pizza and better than Pizza Ria and some of the other options nearby, but will I seek out this place just for their pizza on a sober basis? Much to the displeasure of the UW alumni, I'm going to have to pass.

DISCLAIMER: I WAS DRUNK WHEN I ATE HERE So I reserve the right to edit this review after eating here sober. But I'm pretty confident that my taste buds, even when inebriated, know a good pizza from a bad one. Hence I feel good in declaring that Ian's pizza is FANTASTIC. I have to admit that like many Chicagoans I am very over the whole deep dish thing. So much so that I cringe when visitors come to town, knowing that they'll inevitably want to ingest this artery-clogging, afternoon-killing meal. Truth be told I much prefer a nice NY-style or thin crust pizza for a light lunch, snack, 4th meal, whatever. Enter Ian's. I got a slice of the BBQ chicken pizza and the chicken parmasean pizza and both were wonderful. The crust was perfect, the sauces were perfect, and there were just the right amount of toppings. I'll definitely be back! Hell, I might even go sober.

Judy M.

I can't begin to explain how excited I was to hear Ian's was opening up in Chicago. The wait is finally over! Ian's recently opened in Wrigleyville with a bang by giving out free pizza the night before its official opening. Ian's Pizza is delicious New York style pizza, straight from Madison, WI. It was always packed before and after Kohl center events, and at bar time. This Ian's is for sure going to be packed before and after Cubs game. The most popular slice was the Mac n Cheese, which is really good. My personal favorites are Tomato Pesto, Mushroom Pesto and the Chicken Burrito. For the less adventurous, there is cheese or pepperoni as well. Yea for Ian's!!
(5)
Katie R.

I tried four different slices (cut down the middle with a friend) and out of the 4, three were solidly delicious. In order of tastiness: 1)Macaroni & Cheese - brilliant. It's cheesy, noodle-y and pizza-y. I would have eaten this and only this, happily. I want it right now thinking about it. Comfort food to the extreme. 2)Noodles + cheese + chicken + alfredoy sauce. I have no idea what this pizza was, but it looked good and tasted really good. 3)Caprese. Fresh tasting. And for march I was happily surprised by the quality of the tomatoes on it. 4)Potatoes + bacon + ranch + cheese + barbecue. This should have been really brilliant, but I think they just need to scrap the barbecue. It overtook the whole pizza and the thing just ended up tasting smokey. Not all that tasty. A fun experience - I really hope this place makes it...
(4)
Matthew E.

Mac n cheese and pizza what a genius concept. Who would have thought two of my favorite comfort foods would blend so well together. The cheddar cheese, the curly noodles, the pizza crust......together they are absolutely divine and instantly you understand why this is their number one pizza. I also got the Chicken Penne Alfredo, definitely not as good but still delicious. My only complaint on this one was the actual chicken was oddly fried and didn't taste fresh. I think I'd try something else the next time around.
(4)
Amy R.

Here is the thought process of whoever founded Ian's pizza. (I'm going to take a wild stab and say his name is Ian): "You know what I love? Buffalo chicken. And pizza. Ooh, and crab rangoon. But I really love pizza. Oh, and steak and fries! And pizza. Hey, let's put it all on a pizza! I am a mad genius!" Yes, yes you are. Imagine every comfort food/altered state food you love, and slap it on a slice. I actually went there sober (gasp!) and it was still delicious. I was actually not that impressed with the mac and cheese, but maybe the sobriety had something to do with that. PS: They're BYOB! If this place had a hot tub, I think it would be Heaven.
(4)
Angelica G.

Anytime i'm up near Wrigleyville I have to stop at Ian's, and if I have to wait an hour until it opens at 5 p.m., you bet I will. I wish more places offered pizza by the slice like Ian's, and their's beat the competition by not only serving the basics but zany pizzas with s'mores on top. The workers are cool, there is free water, and it's a block from the Cub's field. The only reason I gave Ian's four stars instead of five is because the bathroom is hidden away in the kitchen and the sink in the ladies room does not really work.

Dave B.

Been to Ian's many times and have never been disappointed. On my last visit a friend recommended the chicken penne alfredo. It was fantastic. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Wrigleyville!

Amy W.

Absolutely delicious. I've been here for lunch and dinner, drunk and sober, weekdays and weekends--it never disappoints. Mac and cheese is a wonderful guilty pleasure. Recent specials Dreamy, Creamy Zucchini (grilled zucchini, pesto, bowtie pasta and goat cheese) and Pork Al Pastor (marinated pork, pineapple, tomatillo-avocado salsa, onions) were fantastic. The ones with a ton of veggies and the ones with some combo of BBQ sauce, bacon, cheddar, chicken and pineapple are great standbys. The staff is always very friendly and manages the 3 a.m. post-bar weekend crowd pretty quickly. Bonus: it's BYOB.
(5)
Liz P.

I'll admit it up front: seeing all the Yelp reviews about their vegan pizzas made me a little weary to try this place but a friend and I bit the bullet and opted for a simple cheese/pepperoni pizza. Turns out, it was pretty tasty. Big slices and pretty thin. The fact that it was only $9 makes it all the better. I would definitely come back.
(4)
Yumm y.

We ordered half cheeseless w/ spinach, tomato, roasted red peppers and pineapple and 1/2 with vegan "teese" and Upton's "sausage". Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious and wonderful customer service (delivery) all the way from the phone call to the delivery guy. I am so excited about having the opportunity to order pizza in my post dairy days. Dang good pizza!
(5)
Livia N.

Loved the variety and thought that the size of the slices were just perfect. I am a big fan of thin crust and was pleased with the crust, sauces, and size of the slices. I tried the mac and cheese but did not fall in love with it. It was good, but I didn't think that it was all that special. I went there with my husband and we ordered three slices: mac and cheese, creamy zucchini, and rigatoni with some kind of sausage. All very delicious and I can't wait to go there again to try the other options.

Garin J.

Late saturday night just after leaving Mullen's, my friends and I were headed down Clark with the idea that we would trek all the way out to The Weiner Circle when I had to do a double take at the cornucopia of Pizza that passed me by on my left. I had to look up the name of Ian's this morning because that night all I could think was, "Need!" The ordering process was simple enough, I stared open mouthed at such a wide variety that I eventually had to point and mumble "pineapple and whatever" and they shuffled me along to pay. It turned out to be pineapple and chicken and i was absolutely satisfied. My girlfriend didn't finish her Mac N Cheese and I was more than happy to oblige, waste not friends. Overall, for $3.75 you can have almost anything your little heart desires and the spot is what it will hit when you inhale your slice in record time. Dig it.

Nella D.

The pizza was amazing! however, I couldn't give this 5 star status because of hte driver who delivered my pizza. Upon greeting him at the door, I was not even greeted with a "hello" before he stopped to tell me that I was 4 blocks out of delivery range and should not have had my order accepted, especially during their busiest hour! RUDE!

Simone C.

Barbecue chicken bacon ranch pizza. AMAZING.
(5)
Jeff G.

The sheer novelty of the pizza options here is admirable (Mac and cheese pizza, BBQ Steak and Fries Pizza, S'mores pizza, etc.)....The fact that these strange concoctions are palatable and actually enjoyable is the kicker. It gets pretty rowdy here on Friday nights around 1-2 AM or after Cubs games, so keep that in mind. Like others have mentioned, seating is also an issue. Your best bet is to have one of your friends stake out a table while you buy their pizza...it's the only way to get a seat sometimes. Anyways, the pizza is unique. The toppings are obviously the main draw, but the crust is stellar as well (good mix of crunchy and chewy). You probably won't even appreciate the subtleties of it though if you are 75% of this place's demographic: drunk assholes. Just kidding, but they will not sound the alarm for a popped-collar invasion here, so you have to stay on your feet at all times.

Jacquie A.

I went to Ians for the first time about 3 weeks ago and went back a few days later. I really love this pizza. The crust is awesome! The best part is they offer Vegan "Meats" and "Cheese"... Along with some other not so typical pizza toppings, like french fries, Mac N Cheese (for you dairy eaters), black beans. It is the perfect place to go if you have a mixed crowd... they really do have something for everyone... The service is great. My boyfriend and I went here and they accidentally made his pizza with vegan cheese instead of normal cheese because he had ordered vegan sausage... they were really accommodating to us... We got the vegan pizza to munch on while they prepared another one on the house...
(5)
Bryan B.

Everytime I'm in Chicago I try to make it a point to go to Ian's. They have some unique (and possibly unusual) toppings. I'm not sure if I like this place so much because they're open late... like really late and you can always stop in and grab a quick bite, or if it's really that good. But, I have to admit how clever it is to be open late and offer such 'unique' toppings... what better time to be adventurous than after a night out on the town! All four of my stars go towards the food, because the ambiance is not much to rave about and the staff is pretty rude, granted their very quick and efficient. But, what do you expect... you go for a slice of pizza, you get a slice of pizza. you really don't need much more!

Not your average neighborhood pizza joint. Ians is a great place to wear off some of the drunken stupor you have acquired when your partying in the Wrigleyville hood. They are open late which is super cool and they have a variety of slices to choose from. You can have everything from macaroni or cheese tortellini pizza to Steak and french fry or peach cobbler pizza for the die hards. I really give it to Ian's for being able to one up the typical pizza joint. In Wrigleyville you have so many options for a late night slice from other joints that serve an identical menu. For those wanting to try something a little different I definitely recommend Ian's. I will warn you though, I tried it once sober and it didn't have the same affect on me. It was still good but not "stuff my face and have mac and cheese all over my t-shirt" good like it does on a Saturday night at 2am.

One of the best pizza places in town! I always go here after a night in Wrigleyville. Mac & Cheese, Steak & Fries, and the pasta pizzas are the my favs....the pizza is great sober, drunk, or hungover...

i love this place. i've had a few weird issues - partially cold delivery and other interesting mistakes - but overall, they have been responsive, friendly, and accommodating. perhaps more importantly, the food is incredible. they pull off the macaroni and cheese pizza brilliantly (i was skeptical), and the olive tapenade pizza is incredible. highly recommended!

Went here on the Yelp recommendations a couple times and each time I was very impressed. Very non-typical pizza flavors and a virtually unlimited number of topping combinations. The Mac and Cheese pizza is awesome if you're buzzed on beer, but I have not had a flavor yet that I don't like from them. Very fast service inside and its BYOB, its not the most comfortable place to dine-in, but I'm usually stopping in there between bars on a pub crawl.

Yummy..thats all I have to say.. I'm craving their Mac and Cheese pizza right now.

If you're looking for a late night bite (before 3AM) or pizza joint in general, Ian's is a great place to go. They have a large selection of pizzas and they're very creative with their toppings. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

Anne D.

Oh Ian's, how I love thee. I once went to the original up in Madison and loved it, so imagine my excitement when I learned there was one in Wrigleyville when I moved to the city! My personal favorite is the mac 'n cheese pizza, but I've had some other really good slices. The awesome part is that they have rotating special flavors in addition to their old standbys. Definitely a must after a Cubs game or a night out in Wrigleyville...or, more likely for me, just because you feel like going to Ian's.
(5)
C. B.

How can you go wrong with Ian's?? Crazy combos on pizza, byob, open after the bars...yes please! I keep going back to Ian's b/c there are different slices I want to try. So far they have all been great! Had the breakfast pizza after the bars one night...sooo good. I also tried their steak taco pizza (there was a different name for this). It was once again amazing. I love how crispy their crust is after they put it in the toasting ovens. I love me some Ian's!
(4)
J B.

While Ian's had a large selection of pizza, it didn't live up to the super high reviews. This may have something to do with the fact we had it for lunch as opposed to after a night at the bars. It was a cool place in Wrigleyville with a lot of unique pizzas, big bench-style tables, and fun posters - however out of the 3 slices we tried all were just mediocre.
(3)
J F.

I love this place so much! Every time I'm up North I have to have it. I love the service and the Cheese Tortellini pizza. Not a huge fan of the sausage but it's not bad. Love it! Can't wait to go again.
(5)
Kelly B.

I was walking home and passed by Ian's and decided to treat myself to a slice of Mac and Cheese pizza. $3.50 for the best pizza ever. It is a slice that I will now crave for the rest of my life. You have to try it. It's so good!

Sasha R.

Macaroni and cheese on pizza is a simple pleasure that everyone should experience at least once.

Maria S.

My husband and I were looking for a place to grab a quick bite before an IO performance and didn't want the dude-brha Wrigleyville bars. Man, did we hit the jackpot with Ian's. The mac and cheese pizza was awesome, and my husband loved his BBQ chicken slice. We even came back after the show for s'mores pizza. Thanks for the recommendation, Yelp!
(5)
Jen B.

I was ecstatic to discover Ian's in Chicago! The Madison standby has all of my faves, like Mac N Cheese and peppers & mushroom. Ian's giant, floppy slices are a welcome break from the carb-tacular deep dish mainstream. And not only do you get the Madison flavors, but the crazy drunks as well. To wit, we got to witness a shouting match between rowdy University of Michigan fans that ended up with the table being knocked over. Did they get kicked out? Hell no! This is Ian's. That shit comes standard.

Josh B.

We are always looking for a good thin crust. This place had gotten such good reviews we had to try it. Sad to say but it was just ok. Crust was chewy and sauce was just sauce. There was nothing really special about the pizza. I can say the people who took our order and the delivery guy were both very nice. But the 4.5 - 5 star rating sad to say not accurate.
(2)
Katherine K.

OH COME ON! This place is unreal! Went there last night after the game (Go Cubs) and loved it from the second we walked in and even now as I get to write this review. Mac and cheese on pizza. I thought it was a great idea to begin with and was happy to see it exceeded my expectations! The flavors and textures all worked well together and OH MY GOD that crust! And the people there are ridiculously nice and funny. Looks like they really enjoy working there (always a sign of a good company with great management/ownership). Made the experience even nicer! I think someone said this pizza is like crack, and I back that. I can't wait until my next slice... Anyone want to join me there in an hour? -have to mention hubby and I had 2 slices and a pop for like 8 bucks-
(5)
Neha S.

I absolutely love when you can walk in and get late night pizza by the slice and there are about a million options. Mac and cheese pizza is definitely my favorite. I mean, the combination of carbs and more carbs is genius. I have visited their location in Madison before, and was excited when they opened a location in Chicago. Also, I heard they had a vegan night awhile back...how cool is that? It's next to impossible to get vegan pizza anywhere in Chicago. Kudos to Ian's for reaching out to vegetarians!

Kris C.

Just had it delivered for the first time, and OMG...... Amazing!!!! Fresh sausage and the mac and cheese to die for!!!! Frendly service and fast..... Will definatly order again :)))))

Delray G.

Im in ian's at least twice a week. Their unique slices are always amazing and they have some of the best non deep disk crust. The weekly specials add variety and are usually just as good as their regular fare.
(5)
Kal T.

This is the sort of pizza that only your typical drunk Wrigleyville crowd could love. In other words, it was really greasy and overpriced. The macaroni and cheese pizza everyone keeps raving about here? Bland and the crust was almost black on the bottom. The slices were also over-priced at almost $4 a slice. My neighborhood greasy spoon could do better (and for a fourth of the price). Go somewhere, anywhere else.
(1)
Jamie G.

This is the perfect late-night, after-hours, walking-home-from-the-bars-or-a-game-with-a-group pizza place. There are tons of choices, large portions, you can easily pay per person, and free water for the taking. The pizza is decent and unique enough that I, sometimes, crave Ian's when it's not 1am on a Saturday morning.
(4)
Kathryn M.

Tortellini pizza!!!!!! I love tortellini pizza, especially late at night while stumbling home. I seriously haven't had tortellini pizza since I was in undergrad and it definitely hit the spot and for a few minutes I actually thought I was back in my carefree undergrad days, drunkenly getting pizza on the way home, instead of being a responsible super busy adult. The staff was really friendly and kept the line moving quickly at 1:30 am. I think slices were $3.50, which is a little pricey, but most definitely worth it.
(5)
Darren M.

It's got a quirky menu, cheap prices, is open late and is situated right in the middle of a bevy of bars. In other words, the perfect place to get your grub on after a night out drinking. But Ian's is so good that I come here even when I'm sober. Considering all the drunk Cubs fans around the area, Ian's atmosphere is surprisingly comfortable, and it always seems like there's just enough seats for you to anchor yourself before having your first bite of a pizza you never imagined possible. The ever-changing menu means no two Ian's experiences have to be the same, although if it's your first time I'd have to recommend the signature mac and chesse pizza. Do yourself a favor and let Ian's mark the end of your next night in Wrigleyville.
(5)
Alison E.

Stopped by Ian's today, and learned that they're now delivering year-round, except on the days there are Cubs home games (understandably, as the cars can't go through there at all...). I am so excited! Also, their ready-to-eat slices are tasty. XD
(5)
Kenny T.

Ian's has good vegan pizza and the staff is super friendly.

For chicago thin crust by the slice this is good. I think Fogo2Go on diversey is better (much stupier name though) but will definitely be back to ians.

Joel A.

I like the original pizza flavors here. If you like mac n' cheese, and I do, then the Mac n' Cheese slice will hit the spot. Our favorite was the tangy BBQ Chicken and Ranch. The Philly Cheesesteak was also tasty.
(4)
Mel G.

Yay! It's good. Thin, crispy crust, unique concoctions that sound only moderately appealing but turn out to be delicious. Friendly staff. Kinda gets a little clustered when it's busy, but worth it. Mac and Cheese is better than it looks and sounds. And the Spinach Florentine is good to boot. Also, cheap food makes me smile.
(4)
Bari L.

Just went before a Cubs game with two friends who were from out of town. They both loved it. One girl who is my friends sister from Ohio has never really been out of her small town and fell in love with the pizza a penne with mushroom and white sauce. She had to go back for seconds.
(5)
Michelle K.

Was this the absolute best pizza I've ever had? No. It definitely deserves the stars, though. This eco-friendly gem is known for their interesting meaty and junk-food combinations, but can be just as loved for its vegan-friendly fare. Vegans, listen up! This is a place to go - with or without your omnivorous friends - and have pizza, sometimes by the slice. You can pick from two "cheeses" and a variety of toppings. You can bring your beer and sit and have a drink and a slice like any other human. Order the 20". The pizza reheats well so you'll have good food for a few days and you'll get hilarious looks on the bus.

Brittany A.

A few weeks ago I started a post asking what pizza place had the largest toppings menu in Chicago & Ian's was one of the suggestions and conveniently the only one I could remember while I was out one night and craving pizza. I came in with my boyfriend not really knowing what to expect and certainly not expecting a "by the slice" kind of place, but that wasn't an issue at all. There were several different types of pizza being offered at the time (which was about 9PM on a Friday) and all looked delicious. I had two slices, I can't remember what they were, but it probably doesn't matter. Both were great & my boyfriend loved both of the slices that he got. And a few nights ago, I came in with a group of people after drinking heavily (no need to say-- the pizza was amazing) and despite the long line, service was super quick. I'll definitely be in again.

Rachael L.

Uhhhhh mazing! Dreamt about the mac & cheese pizza for 3 years from the first time I tried it (Ian's) until I got to have it for the second time last weekend. The guys working here are awesome too. No complaints and can't wait for my next Chicago visit, mainly for this reason!!
(5)
Michael L.

hungry and headed to a cubs game? look no further nothing like having a good thin slice of pizza before and/or after the game. $2.75 for an ordinary slice $3.75 for a specialty, which I highly recommend. Mac N Cheese BBQ Chicken Steak n Fries they even have a peach cobbler slice (havent tried it yet) public seating. eat with friends. eat with someone new. talk about the game or rant on another team.
(5)
Paul B.

Pizza as big as your face! On the way back from a visit to Northwestern, we decided that pizza was definitely a must to warm up on a super cold day in Chicago. I searched 'pizza' on my phone through Yelp. I gave a few options but price and rating wise we weren't satisfied. My girlfriend said she wanted the restaurant to have at least 4 and a half stars and be a single $ for the price range. As a joke I filtered the options to such and surprisingly Ian's Pizza popped up as an option. Fitting those EXACT categories. We ordered upon arriving home and what a great choice! Pizza was huge and priced reasonably upon delivery. The staff was helpful both on the phone and upon delivery. Large 1 topping (and when I say large - it's huge) for $19 is a STEAL.

Lindsay A.

MInus the drunk girls pretending to eat with their obnoxious drunk boyfriends filing in from the trashy clark street bars, this place is actually pretty cool. Their pizza choices are unique and creative. If you can handle all the cheese, I would reccomend the maccroni and cheese pizza. its pretty fantastic!
(5)
Lindsay D.

If you are looking for pizza that is really good and totally different from anything you have ever tried Ian's is the place to go. I love this place because it is open late, has amazing pizza, and great service. I have tried their nacho pizza as well as many others. Every slice I have tried has been good. How can you go wrong putting comfort foods like macaroni and cheese on pizza?
(5)
Zack R.

This place rules. There is a reason the line is out the door, even in the winter, after the bars close. This is the best pizza by the slice in the area. Also nice to try the different kinds. My favorites are mac n cheese, Chicken/Bacon/cheddar, Philly, and usually any of their specials.
(5)
Ashley M.

I ate here 4 times in less than a week! That's saying a lot because, thanks to my husband's layoff, we don't eat out much lately. Thank god they have punch cards for frequent customers! Anyway, I had the mac n cheese, a mashed potato/gravy/sliced turkey/stuffing slice called Gobble Gobble and 2 other delicious slices. The staff was friendly, the establishment was spotless, their ingredients all tasted fresh and the thin crust was perfectly cooked. Ian's is great because of their variety. Thanks to their unique array of toppings, you CAN eat here 4 times in a week and get a completely different meal each time. I've lived and worked in Lakeview for the past 8 years, eaten at every pizza joint in the neighborhood, and Ian's the best!
(5)
Joshua S.

I will admit to going because of all the hype but let me tell you THE HYPE IS FO REAL! I had a slice of mac n cheese and a slice of bbq chicken bacon ranch........OMG!!!!! I will be back alot! They were real busy the whole time I was in there and the staff was awesome! Talk about friendly...So glad they came to Chicago. I have to go back and try some other types of pizzas soon. My mouth is watering while I write this review.........LOL YOU ROCK IAN'S!!!!!!!!

Lindsay B.

The pizza is just as good as when it was Ian's. The staff is very friendly and always willing to explain what toppings are on each pizza (probably for the 100th time of the day).

This pizza place reminded me of college. Lots of drunk people waiting in line for anything they can get. However the buffalo chicken pizza and BBQ chicken pizza were not too bad. Great after bar pizza
(3)
Sarah Q.

Ohhh man, Ian's Pizza is LEGIT. The guacamole burrito pizza is so freakin amazing, I've never had anything like it in my life! The crust is perfectly chewy and has that delightful crunch on the bottom that comes from warming it in the oven after ordering. mmm mmm MMM!!! Also tried the cheese (yummy) and macaroni & cheese. I really wasn't blown away by the mac n cheese...it was kinda bland...but I think I'll douse it in hot sauce next time which should do the trick. But you MUST try the guacamole burrito--it's like eating 7 layer dip on top of pizza. Amazing.

Jon M.

This is a very fun, unique restaurant. Their crab rangoon and steak nacho pizzas were both out of this world. Very cheep also

Matthew S.

Great place for by the slice pizza. Variety is good, but unpredictable. Slightly expensive for what it is, but ultimately a great atmosphere in Wrigleyville.

Heather E.

When in Wrigleyville, Ian's is a great place to grab some quick, cheap and tasty grub. They have an array of interesting flavors (mac and cheese, chicken Parmesan, Chicago dog), and all of the available of slices for that day are displayed so you won't have buyer's regret. The slices are large, with one being enough for an average female, and the prices are around $3/slice. An interesting twist is that Ian's is also a BYOB, and we all know beer and pizza go great together!! I subtracted one star for lack of a system: After ordering a slice of pizza displayed under heating lamps, the workers toss the pizzas into giant ovens. Unfortunately, the slices seem to occasionally get forgotten about in the ovens, and on a few occasions I have gotten my pizza while companions on the same order are waiting or vice versa. But, I guess the delicious pizza is worth the wait.
(4)
Lydia B.

Amazing pizza! They had a huge variety when I came in, with the coolest pizzas I'd ever seen (think: tortelinni pizza, chill cheese dog, s'mores). I enjoyed a pesto, spinach, tomato and feta pizza, which was delicious. The best one, though, that I tried was the burrito pizza. Sounds strange, but it was incredible! Black beans, guacamole, cheese and sour cream. Mmmmm. Definitely worth a trip if you're visiting Chicago or find yourself in the area!
(4)
Emmanuel E.

Good before 2-3 am. When all the bars close this place gets packed with 15 year olds so go earlier. Try the cordon bleu or the mac n cheese if you want something different, the regular cheese and pepperoni is really good if you're a traditionalist.
(5)
Eileen Anne F.

"Bring it on down to Wrigleyville" (sing with that Justin Timberlake SNL skit voice) and grab a nacho slice here!!! A contender was the macaroni and cheese slice, but I made a wise decision.
(5)
Jeremy B.

i've been to ians sober and shitfaced and both ways, this place is great. vegan friendly options also. i almost always get the BBQ Chicken & ranch and a slice of mac and cheese and add BBQ sauce to it. I've had almost every slice they offer and i can't recall any i didnt like.
(5)
Brooke B.

I live a block from this place, and I think my roommate and I ate here every day for two weeks straight when it first opened. Love the creative pizzas. Its a good place to bring out of towners. It gets crowded when the bars close, but I appreciate their hours as I'm usually one of the drunks in line. :D My only complaint is the size. Its gets sooo crowded on weekends. Get the s'more pizza!

Marlon F.

The best underrated pizza joint in this city, hands down.

Brad C.

I was able to try Ian's Pizza at a beer and pizza pairing at the beer school in Sheffield's. I had no idea Ian's had such a huge following before going to this event. I was going because it was pizza and beer. But I am so glad I was able to try some of Ian's delicious pizzas. Mac & Cheese pizza, good lord that guy is amazing. Also was able to try one called the salad pizza, which was really just a very good veggie pizza. For dessert they had a s'mores pizza, I'm not a big chocolate fan so I didn't love this one but it was really interesting. I can't wait to make a trip here and try some more of Ian's Pizza gems.

Steve T.

They deliver now, oh yes, this heart attack per slice can now arrive at your doorstep. Check the website, there is a delivery zone. Be nice, you can talk them over the line, literally.

This place is always super busy, but I love to come by after work and grab one of their crazy slices. Even though it's always busy, the employees work really hard and the line moves quickly.

Kelly W.

After reading the great reviews and wanting to try Ian's for several months, I finally got the chance to try some while out on Friday night. I was in the middle of a conversation with my friend when I interrupted myself while shouting and pointing that I needed to try some Ian's pizza ASAP! After some coaxing, we walked across the street and managed to grab a few slices. I was able to try the macaroni and cheese pizza as well as the lasagna pizza (can you tell I love carbs?). The mac and cheese pizza slice was the last one, and tasted like it was the last one. The cheese was kind of congealed but I imagine it would be better when fresh. The lasagna pizza was garlicy and off the charts delicious. I'm not a Cubs fan and don't really like going to Wrigleyville, but I think I might have to, just to go to Ian's more often!!!
(4)
Jen C.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Pizza is innovate and creative. Based on regular pizza - I still prefer Piece Pizza or Santullo's pizza best. But this place is awesome for fun and different pizza. Like everyone says, you gotta try the MAC 'N' CHEESE pizza. Also delish was the PHILLY CHEESESTEAK PIZZA and PARMESAN CHICKEN PIZZA. They have so many different types, varies from time of day and from day to day... and it's so hard to pick what I want to eat! The people who work there are fun and crazy. Very kid friendly as well. Love it love it love it!

Steve B.

Having come from Madison, WI I was really excited to find out Ian's was coming to Chicago. They did not disappoint. In fact, they exceeded my expectations by expanding on their already awesome menu.
(4)
Sarah A.

Where else can you get a portabella mushroom pizza or a mac and cheese pizza? Good for late night eats in Wrigleyville, though I think that they could stay open a little later on weekends. They also take suggestions...although I don't think they have added my banana pizza to the menu....
(4)
Alexzandra A.

I have never been so excited to write a review of a place. If I wasn't married and Ian were a tall, dark and handsome male and made me pizza like this on the first date I would marry him. This pizza is that good! We went here before a Cubs game this week and I can't believe it took us this long to try it. IT IS SOOOOO GOOD! I haven't had pizza this good in a very very very long time. We tried four different types of pizza and a brownie. The Mac N Cheese pizza was AMAZING. The Spinach, tomato and feta was perfect, the ranch, bacon, chicken and bbq sauce one was overkill, but still rad and the pepperoni slice was gone before I could take a bite. Now if only they were closer to my house so I could order from them more often. We are going to a Cubs game today and you bet I will be picking up a slice(or five) of this pizza for the game. My only complaint is that they use paper plates! Come on guys, think about the environment a little.
(5)
Carol Ann D.

This isn't pizza, this is PIZZA! There is nothing like a gooey, cheesy slice of Mac n' Cheese pizza to make your life whole again. Exposed to Ian's in Mad-town and was instantaneously hooked. As a self-considered pizza aficionado, this establishment and it's fare has sent me straight to pizza heaven. Now, don't get me wrong, there are plenty of fancy-pants choices, but they even make the classics a mouth watering tasty treat and with not many 'za joints offering the true "Chicago Style", this is the next (if not better) choice. My only advice? GO NOW!
(5)
Amy D.

YUMMY. The mac and choice is great. It's a little hyped up, but it's a perfect combo of mac and cheese flavor with a great crust. Howard got the pepperoni. Just as tasty. I LOVE the crust. I would have to say it was hyped up (from my sis who had in Madison), but def. still a winner!
(4)
Kristin C.

I heart Ian's ...and I proudly wore my pizza slut and i love ian's stickers to the Cubs game last night. In fact, when I didn't have my ticket, the lady manning my section remembered me by my pizza slut sticker. Cute huh. Anyway, we tried Ian's for the first time before the game, and it was such a refreshing take on pizza. I mean, noodles on pizza? French fries? Who would have thought! I played it slightly safe and got a slice of buffalo chicken and blue cheese. It was soooo good. I also got a taste of the mac n cheese slice, and it was weird but good. It's only $3.75 for a slice of their specialty pizza, which I think is a great deal. The crust was thin and crispy and obviously the toppings were fun and unique. I dont think a slice of mac n cheese pizza will be a regular craving for me ...but anything could happen late night, so i shouldnt speak too soon.
(5)
Therron R.

We love this place, because it's only a short walk away from the house, and also the many specialty pizzas. They are all good. I often find myself getting one of each because I don't want to miss any one slice. Of course, the mac & cheese pizza is the best. Talk about a real addiction here. I love the "by the slice concept". We were able to get 6 slices all different flavors, and it cost the same as one whole pizza at the other places.
(5)
cara r.

I love Ian's Pizza in Madison. I love Mac and Cheese pizza in particular. I know that it sounds disgusting, but trust me. It's amazing. What I don't love is that Ian's isn't open for lunch during the week. Why, oh, why, must you deprive me of my mac and cheese pizza on a rare weekday when I'm away from the hospital??? if only Ian's had lunch hours like it does in Madison or it delivered....
(3)
Natan P.

Hands down, this is the most creative pizza place there is. Not to mention, it's extremely delicious whether sober, kind of drunk, or flat out hammered. I used to visit friends in Madison just so I could make a stop at Ian's while there, but now that it is in Chicago, I am thrilled. They have such a great variety of pizzas for any appetite, but for sure my favorite pies are BBQ Steak and Fries, Loaded Baked Potato with Bacon and BBQ Sauce, and Mac n' Cheese. That's right, all of the above are pizzas they make, and that barely scratches the surface of the fantastic, far-out pizzas they make. If you haven't Ian's before, you have to try it. Really, the only thing that could make this place better would be if they opened shop in Bucktown!
(5)
Shannon B.

Not bad. A little greasy for my taste, and I've had better thin crust. I really do like the variety, and I love the late hours and the fact that they sell by the slice and are located in the area in which I'm generally out late at night.
(3)
Karl f.

Great thin crust pizza, interesting toppings available but the pepperoni does me just fine.
(4)
Kevin R.

Ahh, real pizza. Not that knife and fork stuff. And not just real pizza, but real, CRAZY pizza. Macaroni pizza, cheeseburger pizza, all strange and delicious combinations. And when I say cheeseburger pizza, I don't mean "hey, let's throw some ground beef and cheddar on this thing and call it a cheeseburger pizza"; I mean "beef, pickles, onions, ketchup, and dear lord this tastes like McDonald's burgers would if they were 200% more awesome." It seems a little pricey at first, but it's well worth it. Great grub at any time of the day, but especially great post-bar hopping.
(4)
Peter B.

Points for creativity! A place that definitely has personality and originality in their pizzas. Pizza is, like many college kids, my favorite food. And well, Ians is one of those places that, well, you just HAVE to try. "Don't knock it unless you've tasted it"- i've always said. Now for a couple of caveats: The Traditional pizza "flavors" (if thats what you can even call it) are somewhat uninspiring. I tried the Pepperoni and I tried the Mac N Cheese. The Pep was good, but not mind blowing. I've had better pepperoni at a sbarro coming out of a New york Subway (thats just how i like it). Their tomato sauce was actually quite sweet. The Mac N cheese pizza- interesting, but didn't really taste too cheesy??? I had to load the thing up with hot sauce to make it tasty.Its a good thing It was new years day and i was hung over so i didnt burn my mouth. I've tried the original location in Madison Wi and they have more variety of flavors. I had the "Chicken bacon ranch" and the "steak & Fries". Of all the flavors i've had, the Chicken Bacon Ranch was the tastiest. All in all, i'd rather just have the real thing than having pizza that tastes like it. Make sense??
(3)
Meredith H.

i am embarrassed to even think about the number of mac n cheese slices i have consumed at ian's after 2am. dangerzone. delicious slices of all varieties - so many to try out! they have a frequent buyer card and the staff is really patient and friendly, considering the idiots they have to deal with. more seating would be nice, but i can see why they don't want the place to be a post-bar hangout even more than it already is...
(5)
Thomas B.

Ian's has great variety and quick service. Don't hate yourself for getting the brownie either...
(4)
Karen S.

I lived a block away for an entire year before I discovered this place. What a waste of life. Now I can be found here on a weekly basis. It is definitely the best late night pizza joint around. Make sure you get one of those punch cards for frequent diners. P.S. Dimitri is awesome.
(5)
Lauren P.

i'm always amazed by how many fun and interesting pizza toppings they have every day, and the people behind the counter are usually more than willing to run you down the gauntlet of selections. only downside is that if they're not busy, the pizza may have been sitting for awhile. slices are large and filling. wasn't impressed by the mac 'n' cheese pizza at first, but i gave it another shot and now i'm a fan. one of my other favorites has to be the potato cheddar bacon ranch pizza - delicious, but you really can't miss with any of them. my boyfriend is already on his third frequent customer card!
(3)
Robin C.

Oh dear God. Frankly, I'm pissed I just heard an Ian's opened in Chicago this late. I found out last night that there was a location here, and it took an embarrassing amount of self restraint not to up and leave Will's, (hip hip Badgers), to go here. If you waste your $3 or $4 on cheese, pepperoni or other standard-topped ZA here, you should be slapped with a stupid stick. The mac and cheese, chicken pesto, and steak and fries pizza are to die for. They'll probably swap out different specials of drunken-genius combinations so choose quickly because I'm probably stomping my foot behind you in line.

Hands down, my favorite pizza place, ever! I love Ian's Pizza, I cannot get enough of it. I take every friend from out of town here and they always love it. I dig every kind of pizza they have, especially the chicken burrito and chicken penne. I really like their punch card. After 10 punches, you get a free slice, I know I've had more than 5 free slices. Every week, they have a different special slice. I remember one they had with shrimp, it was so insanely good. I wish they always had it. All of the people who work here are super nice and the guys making the pizzas never skimp on the toppings and really care about what they are making. It would be awesome to work here, if for nothing else, getting a free lunch every day. I am happy this place is so close to my house. I Hope they have great success in Chicago and are around for a long time. You really should get to Ian's and discover all the awesome pizzas you'll never be able to eat at any other pizza joint. I can not say enough good things about them.

I really like this place. I've only been after I've hit up some bars and the line is normally long, but moves fast. The staff is always nice even when dealing with drunken fools in the early AM hours. They have a nice variety of veggie pizzas which I enjoy. The only thing I would ask for is more cheese pizza : )

This place is perfect for grabbing a quick no frills slice. I had 2 vegetarian slices - the mac and cheese - and then another one with spinach and portabella mushroom. both sooo good and filling. cost was somehting like 7.50 total.

Oh my gawd I am so P.U.M.P.E.D. for Ian's! For those who aren't familiar, Ian's is a fast and oh-so-delicious pizza joint that started up in Madison a few years ago. You can get it by the slice or get a whole pie. While some of the toppings consist of your generic pizza fare, they get pretty creative. Good, fresh ingredients too. Ian's has something special goin' on, and I'm sure Chicago will figure that out soon enough. Hopefully it won't get overrun with frat boys now that it's in Wrigley. Ahhh the memories...2am...a little more than tipsy...slice of spinach feta pesto or southwest burrito pizza in my hands. And it's just as good when you're sober, only you remember what you ate!

I have had chicken taco, and tortellini. That was great choice- delicious!! I can not wait to come back and try something else.

This is by far my favorite pizza place in the city, I must stop by here at least once a week. They have creative pizza choices and for the non adeventurous regular sausage or pepperoni is available. They also have a special of the week which had included sloppy Joe and crab ragoon pizza. My favorite is the papa bandit which us BBQ sauce, potato, bacon, cheddar cheese and top with ranch dressing. This a must stop place if your ever in Wrigleyville.

Right price, and sooo much selection. Love everything that I have gotten here (I've been a few times). Everyone says that the Mac'n'cheese is the best, and it is very very good, but I am more of a veggie person, so the one with the black beans, avocado, and tomatoes is more my style (and amazing by the way). And they recycle and they have a can crusher, which reminds me of my childhood, great place!

I've said some pretty bad things about the Ian's in Madison, but that was because of this douche I knew who worked there. He doesn't work for Ian's anymore, so now I can admit that their pizza is some of the best ever. Their normal slices - cheese, pepperoni, etc - are really good, but the mac and cheese is out of this world. The taco pizza is good too, with tons of toppings and stuff. Even though for many years I only ever had the mac and cheese, I'm now trying lots of different types because they are all SO GOOD. Part of it is, much like in Madison, I usually come here when slightly drunk - not so drunk that I want to go to Taco Bell, but definitely not sober, and it's also very much that it feels just like the original Ian's but with less people. It's even painted the same colors.

Haven't tried this outlet, but the original Madison outlet is da-leesh-uss. Even sober. Ian - get some delivery and I will order weekly!!!

I've been here twice and both times I was in heaven! A friend of mine turned me on to this place and I can see why it's his fave! This pizza is soooo good and soooo fresh! The topics are crazy creative and I feel like a kid at Christmas walking into this place. You never know what kind of pizza they are going to come up with next! So far my faves are the mac n cheese and the taco pizza! Yum!

Yet another reason why I keep beating myself up for not moving to Chicago earlier. Having this right around the corner from my new place is going to be b-a-d n-e-w-s. All my friends know that my 2 biggest weaknesses after a night of partying are mac and cheese and pizza - so what do I find? Ian's puts the two together in one!! And by god it was delicious. I better join a running group so I don't become 400 pounds within the first few months of moving in.

Coming from a former customer of the month, Ians is amazing! Get the pesto tortillini or the smokey the bandit.

Jason G.

Had some of the pre-made slices and they were just as tasty. Consistent 4 stars. It was a lot more crowded this time and it was later, so there had been some drinking going on. It was pretty awesome how different types of groups coexisted in the place. I was happy.

Evan S.

IANS is amazing. It almost doesn't matter what kind of pizza you get--there are many varieties and most of them are good. I got their S'Mores pizza the other week, and aside from turning the tables in favor of diabetes, it was delicious. The price is right, the staff is friendly, but if you don't like supremely drunk people, don't come here on the weekends. They're all right with me, so I do. Only 4 more punches to go on my Free Pizza card.

Dyan F.

I want to bake myself into an Ian's Pizza and eat my way out. I think Ian's really has soemthing for everybody- I've found some varieties that I really adore, such as the Mac N Cheese and the Taco/Mexican Pizza, where as I've struck out with others but know there are fans of those. They cater to many tastes and provide a consistently delicious product.

I'm so happy to have a vegan friendly pizza joint to replace Delisi's in Chicago. The first time I went here, it was a little eh, but I pinpointed the problem: the olives. Olives usually play a staring role in my vegan pizzas, but here they taste like they're straight out of the jar and the briney taste tainted the rest of my pizza. All trips since this realization have been much more pleasant. The last time I went there was incredible. They were giving out samples of three amazing vegan pizzas in preparation for Mercy for Animal's vegan week at the end of October. My boyfriend and I tried all of them and all they asked for was feedback. After samples of three pizzas, I wasn't even hungry for the HUGE ASS pie we'd ordered! But I was happy to have tried a vegan lasagna pizza, a vegan bbq chicken pizza and a vegan buffalo chicken pizza. They were all awesome and the chef gave me a lot of ideas for future pizza orders (and homemade pizzas!) and I can't wait to be back for vegan week!

My very first cubs game...and they were losing bad 10-1 so I left. Walking around town I founds this place. Very interesting pizzas here I had the Philly cheese steak pizza and a few bites of the gyro. Both were pretty good. Will try the BBQ next time I watch the cubs game.

Every piece of pizza that I get at Ians becomes my favorite, only to be cast off once I try a new one. Mac n Cheese pizza- yum. "papa bandit" pizza (potatoes, BBQ, Ranch and bacon) amazing. And if they have it- the smores pizza is all that you could hope for. The vibe is great, great music, fun people. Don't expect a quiet dining experience, or a seat, if your going late night. But yum yum yum.

Josselyn W.

Delicious pizza, and new and creative toppings!! Love that it's open late, and is way more interesting than that other place that's further north on Clark. Defintiely skip that greesy place and try the stuff here!! Soooo good!!
(5)
Jim O.

Best late night pizza in Lakeview. Mac N Cheese Pizza, Chicken Parm, Pasta....the options are endless. And they are all delicious, granted just about anything taste Delicious at 4am. Ians is a great place to stop on the way home from the bars, fill up on a big slice then head home and pass out.

JOANY B.

My family and I LOVED this place. We went every chance we had on our vacation in Jan. The Mac n Cheese....AMAZING. My husband who is not really a big fan of pizza really enjoyed the BBQ beef and fries. We have even talked about and craved a slice since. The owner should consider opening a location in Miami, wink wink.

LeVar C.

I've had the Buffalo Chicken, Philly, and Smoky. I need to start trying different ones but I'm good for now. A must eat after a night of drinking in the area.

Allison B.

Not bad! Definitely a welcome break from the gross Chicago deep dish pizza (sorry Chitown). The pizza here is decadent, especially the mac and cheese. I'm not a fan of the rush-rush scenario here - quickly get in line, quickly grab what slices are left, quickly find a seat, quickly get out. But it IS called Ian's Pizza by the Slice, so they can't be faulted for false advertising. :) We might try take out next time so we can savor the flavor instead.

I have just discovered Ian's and I am in love. I will preface my review by admitting that I am an adventurous foodie. I love extravagant food, and condiments, and too many and too much. Which is one of the things that drew me to Chicago--it's overt over-the-topness when it comes to food. I will also admit that being from Boston, I have never quite taken to the little squares of pizza that the Chicagoans are into. I like a big, triangular slice, so I can hold onto the crust and dig in to the good stuff. There's something wonderful about that first bite of the pointy end of a slice that cannot be replicated by a bite-sized square of pizza. So right off the bat when I saw SLICES behind the counter at Ian's, I knew I was in for something good. But what of these toppings? These combinations? Did I just hear someone ordering MAC N CHEESE pizza? I asked for a menu and instead was given the 5-star tour of the warming tray. Steak and fries, penne pasta, lasagne, guacamole burrito...my heart was fluttering. I ordered a slice of veggie taco. The first bite of the flavorful crust with black beans, cheese, and perfectly cooked bell peppers brought a tear to my eye. I inhaled the slice in about 1 minute flat, and then regretted that it was gone. I went back within a week and requested the guacamole burrito. They didn't have any but they offered to make one for me if I'd wait...so of course I waited. The guys who were working were immensely friendly and chatty, making it a pleasure to wait for the requested slice. And the slice was, of course, heavenly. I have told everyone I know about Ian's and I will continue to be a frequent customer. In fact, I think I'll head over there for dinner tonight!

Michael M.

can you say "fuck" on yelp? 'cause, HOLY FUCK. mind totally blown by this place. just amazing. i ate shrimp soup, in pizza form mind you, and it was absolutely fantastic. mac & cheese and BBQ pizzas were no joke either. go to ians with friends and everyone get a different slice, SHARE, SON! you'll love everything.

Ryan M.

Had the large pineapple pizza. Crust is great, pineapple portion was a bit sparse but adequate. Well priced.

Jill and Ying J.

You really can't go wrong with Ian's, even though they give themselves plenty of opportunities to fail. Mac&cheese.... on a pizza? Steak and fries? Spinach and portabella? CHICKEN AND MASHED POTATOES? WITH BACON?! These are entrees, not pizza toppings! But with your first bite into that perfectly leaven crust with that perfect thickness and consistency, any hesitation will be overcome by one sensation and one sensation only.....MUST EAT MORE. We came on one of those cold windy nasty March evenings that Chicago is so famous for, and yet the weather did nothing but accentuate how fantastically awesome this place is. Coupled with some super-cool dudes behind the counter who were extremely knowledgeable (perhaps overly so?) about their pizza, BYOB, a casual atmosphere, and no bullshit pricing, this is just a great place for some great pizza. Pure and simple...even though they make it as complicated as their imaginations can take them.

Jaclyn C.

i dont even know where to begin. i lived in italy for a while and when i came back i was disgusted by american pizza, it just doesnt compare. but for the longest time my roommate was obsessed with this place and i kept telling her, i didnt care, i dont like pizza unless its Italian. yeah.. she made me eat my words. i was FLOORED when i first had Ian's. i'm not picky at all, ill try anything, and ive eaten all over the world and i honest to god believe that their Mac and Cheese pizza is one of the best things i've ever put in my mouth. its amazing. they come up with the best pizza topping combinations ever. if your craving it, they probably have it. and best of all they always have a ton of vegetarian options and sometimes vegan too! staff is w.e i dont go there for the service, i go for the food. the staff is mostly there to heat up the pizza and take your money, and im cool with that. only problem i have is that their hours are weird? they open during the evening and kind of close whenever people stop coming.

Sunil A.

One of the best thin crust pizzas in Chicago. Mac n cheese pizza is surprisingly amazing. Great place to bring some beers (byob) and grab some pizza before or after a cubbies game. The florentine pizza is really good as well.
(5)
A. M.

Oh, Ian's, thank you for bringing your goodness to Chicago - and only two blocks from where I live! I think some of our late night meetings have resulted in a few extra lbs this past year. The mac and cheese is the absolute best! However the steak and fries (w/ bbq sauce!) is a close second. I can't tell you how excited I am that Ian's is delivering!
(5)
Cameron C.

I have a confession to make. I am addicted to Ian's Mac and Cheese pizza. After looking at my bank statement and seeing like 4 or 5 "ians pizza" charges in a weeks time, I knew something was wrong. I have since cut back to about once a week to provide my body with enough recovery time, but i really would eat if everyday if i didnt care about my temple. MMMM mmmm good. The place is pretty small, but it works. The walk up to the counter is my favorite part- The doors swing open, the heavenly smell of fresh pizza comes creeping into your nostrils and your eyes immediately lock onto the counter and the several flavors of slices already prepared. I've tried a few different types and I have to say my fav's are the Fritos and Chili (was a special a few weeks ago-anyone else remember walking tacos??) and the Mac and Cheese. I need to try the Alfredo looking one, bet thats good. I think delivery just started up---whoooooo hooooooooo, just what the addict needs ! =)

Rachell G.

If you went to MSU, or have visited East Lansing, you've probably been to Giorgio's, the pizza place in the "hamster run" parking structure with the crazy toppings (gyro, lasagna, taco). Ian's is just like Giorgio's, except better. Love the crust.

Bryan S.

WOW! just moved to Wrigleyville and this is literally right across the street from me. Went there the other night and had a slice with asparagus and goat cheese (sounds weird but OMG) it was amazing! one of the best slices of pizza i ever had. I also tried the mac and cheese, and buffalo chicken and I can't wait to try all the rest! highly reccomended. the girls were insanely friendly too and you get a card they stamp so you get a free slice after you get 10 punches, awesome

tortellini pizza, smores pizza, mac n cheese pizza, yeah go to ians now! awesome pizza, friendly staff, great prices.

Wendy L.

a friend and i go to a different pizza place in chicago each week and ian's was a great discovery. although i don't usually enjoy thin crust, i loved all the options for toppings. i got a slice of the macaroni pizza and then built my own (bell peppers and french fries) both very tasty :-) the staff is super friendly and kindly guided us through the many toppings and options without a tude. they also have vegan pizza too. kudos to that!
(4)
Jeff S.

Great late night food after a night of drinking. There is such a wide variety of pizzas to choose from. The line moves pretty quickly and the staff is friendly despite all of the intoxicated people at the restaurant. Seating could be a problem but usually isn't.
(4)
Chris W.

Great pizza for any occasion. They're open late, so head there after the bars. The line typically gets longer as the night goes on, so expect to wait but it's worth it. You must try the Mac N Cheese pizza if it's your first time. They also have fast delivery for Wrigleyville residents.
(5)
A. R.

I have been to Ian's a handful of times and have been fortunate enough to sample their ridiculous array of pizzas. Even after all of those visits, and a greater number of slices, I don't think that I have repeated a type of pizza yet. Their gyro pizza, mac and cheese slice, bbq chicken pizza, pesto-tomato pie, plain cheese pizza, and chicken parm slice have all been quite good. I have no real complaints because I have never been dissatisfied. Yet, perhaps the pizza artists at Ian's could concoct more pizzas with traditional pizza sauce. Out of all of their pizzas that I have tried, the only one that had regular sauce was the cheese pizza. Maybe I have been ignorant of such pies, but if they had more pizzas with traditional pizza sauce I would boost their rating from 4 to 5 stars. Until that time, and I hope it comes soon, 4 stars it is for Ian's.
(4)
Jenny C.

LOVE IT!! Ok, not only are the owners from Ann Arbor, MI (which is where I'm from), but the food is amazing! It can be a little pricey, but that tends to be the case with any restaurant that sells HUGE slices of pizza by-the-slice. Everyone who works there is extremely nice too. All their ingredients look and taste fresh. AND it's open late, so it's always nice to go after the bars... though if you don't get there at just the right time, there tends to be a long line and it gets crowded in there.
(5)
Chris E.

I love Ian's. It is reasonably priced

Mariella V.

I basically eat here every time I'm in Chicago; imaginative, delicious pizzas in unusual-but-amazing flavour combinations, as well as a comfortably relaxed atmosphere and a two-minute walk from Wrigley Field and by hostel...I'll be honest, I may even keep picking the same hostel due to its proximity to Dimo's. In summary: amazing pizza, great hours. Would recommend. Drink the Leninade!
(5)
Ryan S.

One of my favorite pizza places in Chicago. The toppings are creative and delicious. You can grab a few pieces and go or eat them at the communal picnic tables. The macaroni pizza is amazing, of course, but I also like the ones with who-knows-what on them. They are like explosions of flavor.
(5)
J R.

Not sure what is going on, but the service has gone down hill. * Long lines don't move as fast as in the past * Pizza makers can't keep up with demand on certain types of popular pizzas * People taking orders are taking way to many orders and getting confused when they delivery the pizza causing long wait times after you pay * Caught cashier take money and then adjust pizzas without washing hands * Pizza quality is starting to slip as crust in not a bubble as in the past The staff in the past was amazing but today the new staff is just not trained as good. Management has just been relaxed and it shows to a long time customer like me.

Peggah G.

The smaller BYOB Wrigleyville Dimo's is amazing. A much better post-Metro alternative than McDonald's or Taco Bell. For some reason, this location has overcooked the crust of three pizzas I've ordered. So they lose a star... but I'll probably be back enough to have them make it up to me with delicious and quirky pizzas.
(4)
Canny F.

I ordered the special for the day and it was a Mexican slice. You can tell from the uploaded picture that it was kind of a lot for a slice of pizza. I love creativity but this pizza was all over the place! I rather eat a Mexican dish for the amount I paid. I think their usual slices would have been the better option. The cashier was very friendly and the seating looked spacious.
(3)
Ellie K.

I'm done. I have been ordering from Dimo's for 3 years and have spent hundreds of dollars there (judge me.). The past few times I have ordered delivery my food has been late, cold or mediocre or some combination of the above. Tonight was the last straw. I ordered a pizza, and it arrived 15min late and was poorly made. The crusts is supposed to be bubbly and puffy, and was not. It was thick, chewy (in a bad way), and the bottom was tough. The dough had, clearly, been overworked. The is the last straw. Never ordering from here again.
(1)
Max M.

Just like the Wicker Park one, but a bit smaller. Both are delicious. The variety of pizza is astounding and they have a new kind every single week for you to try. The staff are always incredibly friendly and are quick and experienced at what they do. Once can never go wrong with Dimo's.
(5)
Jason H.

Yesterday was Dimo's birthday aka $1 slices. Not a bad way to end the night! I had the chicken bacon ranch and a jalapeno popper-style slice. Both were pretty great, but probably a lot better when inebriated.
(4)
Stephanie M.

LOVE DIMOS!!!!!! People are great, and the food is AMAZING!!! Any kind of flavor you think of, they probably have here. Here are the must try flavor toppings: Mac and Cheese (classic) Philly Cheese Steak BBQ Chicken Chicken and Waffle All sound weird and out of place right? But it works! The crust is also the perfect consistency. The perfect crunch to soft. If you plan on going late in the evening, try to get there before the bars let out. Otherwise you will be waiting in a line, surrounded by intoxicated people.
(5)
Nichole M.

I really wanted pizza and a big tasty salad for dinner. Dimo's allegedly had both so I thought this would work out perfect, not so. I ordered the Philospher (Greek salad) it came with no feta cheese and no Kalamata olives...what is the point?! I was so disappointed. The pizza was fine. The cheese and pepperoni were pretty good, the Italian sausage was pretty bland. Delivery was an hour or so, which I expected on a Sunday night. Probably won't order from here again. Mediocre food in Chicago is not worth a second look with all that there is to choose from.

Bob R.

I was really looking forward to their vegan pizzas. As a person who cannot do milk products (woe is me...), I only have pizza when I make it myself at home. Dimo's is kind of a dumpy looking place, but I think that's the ambiance they want to portray. Their menu is really fantastic - lots of variety in pizzas. But, we went on a Sunday, and they don't make vegan slices on Sundays. But, you may order a pizza to order, so I did. My daughter selected it (she is the decider) and picked the Dimo Florentine. Their oven must be very hot because I want to say it was ready in about 10 minutes. First the good - the crust was really fantastic. And, the marinara sauce they use was alsio very tasty, But I have to say that, honestly I was a little disappointed in the pizza itself. Oh, the toppings were good. But I was expecting to have it be more like a real pizza. The "cheese" they use was kind of tasteless and they didn't put very much on the pizza. I meant to ask what brand of vegan cheese they use but forgot to before I left. A couple of other good things to say. (1) The service is really good. The people who work there are friendly and kind. They want to help and are good at explaining the items on the menu. (2) They have a very interesting selection of soft drinks. I stuck with water, but my son got something called "Leninade". Leninade is a pink lemonade in an old soviet looking bottle. Kind of fun. Other than that, the experience was a good one. Vegan cheese is one of those things. Some are okay and others are bad. I've never really had a good one. But, it is nice that Dimo's offers it as an option for those of us who either prefer vegan or don't do milk/cheese. I wonder if they would make one of their meat pizzas with vegan cheese? That would increase the options for people like me. And, the meat flavor may actually help the taste of the cheese.

Forrest B.

Going to an afternoon game at Wrigley and we didn't want to go to one of the bars that surround the field. (They were crowded and it was only 12, but in hindsight, probably should have joined in for sure.) Anyways, we were craving pizza and wondered down to Dimo's. They have crazy huge slices of pizza and mostly wild flavors. We got chicken penne pizza, buffalo chicken ranch, and chicken and waffle. They were all amazing. They rotate flavors through so find something you think sounds good and get one. One slice alone was probably not quite enough for me, but the two of us split three, which was the perfect amount. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. On top of being delicious, it's surprisingly cheap. For three slices and a bottle of coke, it was like $13.
(5)
David R.

I don't know why the hell I have been pussyfooting around with these four-star ratings, but that ends today: Dimo's is the best slice shop in the city. It's the only one that inspires my wife and me (usually me) to make excuses to do "errands" in the neighborhood, just so that we can eat lunch here. Occasionally I have taken the 22 bus down there for lunch and then back without bothering to make an excuse. That's like paying an additional $1.25 premium on each slice...but it's worth it! Because of: 1. Some of the best pizza around. Consistently top-notch, every single time. Outstanding crust, quality toppings, and excellent balance between all four elements. 2. Variety of toppings. Yes, I have ridiculed the concept of macaroni and cheese pizza. But I have also devoured many a Philly steak slice. The beauty of Dimo's is that you can always rely on the simple slices (e.g. pepperoni & mushroom or mushroom, spinach, & red pepper) but yet be intrigued by the fancy ones. Sometimes the fancy ones are a home run, sometimes they are not for me, but in any case I appreciate their creativity. For example, recently I tried a slice with red onions, kale, fennel, parmesan, and lemon vinaigrette...delicious. But the weekly special--figs, bacon, arugula, honey, and bleu cheese--sounds too sweet to me. Either way there is always a delightful element of surprise to every visit. Tamale pizza? Chicago-style hot dog pizza? Irish breakfast pizza? Brilliant. 3. Awesome people. All the staff are very friendly, always. Genuine enthusiasm. 4. The loyalty/rewards card. This concept goes a long way with me. Buy ten and get one free! A superb incentive for return business. "The Dimo's punch card--don't leave home without it." Oh, and also: 5. I have never once heard Mumturd & Sons on the Dimo's music system.

Kristin N.

First off Ill say that their pizza has some weird seasoning or something on it that makes it taste like it was dropped on a dirt and dust covered floor then picked up but not brushed off before serving. Definitely do not care for the taste of this pizza. HOWEVER I do understand that everyone has different tastes so more importantly Ill get to why I give this place only 1 star. The girl working late on Sunday night was extremely rude. A friend and I walked in and were clearly looking at the options, talking to each other about what we were going to get and she yells...not says, but YELLS at us "Cmon ladies what do you want?" ...mind you there was no one else in line behind us yet so it's not like we were holding up traffic. I said we were deciding and asked what one of the pizzas had on it and she shouts the list of all the options so fast we couldnt even understand what they were. My friend ended up not getting anything cuz this girl had such an attitude....I wouldnt have gotten a piece either but I hadnt ate dinner and it was literally the only pizza place that had come up on my search that was open. Listen, I get that it is late and you probably deal with a lot of drunk people at 2am but not every one is drunk that comes in so dont be impatient and rude to customers.

Alex K.

A huge variety of pizza choices. The place was packed but they did a very good job turning people quickly. I had a slice of the burrito pizza and fish taco. Both were very tasty, and I left stuffed.

Kyle T.

Pizza is very good. Docking stars due to bad experiences with delivery. Have received delivery twice... one time they were about 30 mins longer than predicted and the pizza was not in top condition. The second time... much worse. They turn off Grubhub at completely arbitrary times and so I call and order three pizzas. I repeat the order several times so they know it's three pizzas and after waiting much longer than predicted they showed up with two pizzas. Then they said they would bring me my final pizza but I would have to wait 45 mins and I would have to pay... I said I would just start ordering from somewhere else and they said they would bring me my pizza for free in a half hour. An hour later they show up with the pizza, which had cheese on maybe half of the pizza... I would recommend dining in or carrying out.

John I.

I liked this place immediately when I walked through the door, with a young cutie addressing me a smile and with affectionate terms like "honey" and "sweetie." She was such a darling herself that I couldn't help but smile back. The vegee pizza I had--if I remember correctly, it included red bell peppers, spinach and tomatoes and cheese. They had maybe 8 pizzas out that all looked delicious. I know that mine was, heated in the pizza oven for a few minutes. The thin crust was delightful. In fact, I would have had another piece-a if I hadn't been in a hurry. Perhaps the comfort foods of mac & cheese or s'mores. With warmth in both my belly and my heart, I continued on into the darkness of the night.

Delicious pizza by the slice. So many strange flavors that taste phenomenal. That Mac & Cheese pizza is really delicious and I'm pretty sure it comes vegan as well!

Joseph D.

Holy heck. I am addicted to Dimo's. Having moved here from the east coast a little over a year ago, we've been in search of great pizza. Sure we love us some deep dish ever so often, but sometimes you just want to eat 8 slices by yourself and not feel all puffy and bloated after one or two. The topping combos range from the basics like pepperoni and mushroom all the way up to the outrageous like fried chicken and waffle (which by the way is so good I wept openly first time I ate it). To go with you pie are also some nice salad options and at $7 for the large (feeds 2-3) are quite reasonable. Of course you may not want to eat salads as the large pie is big enough for 4 people. I think it's like 0 inches big or something. The service is good, the staff is friendly on occasions when I've done take out or ordered delivery. I also appreciate they under promise and over deliver. I'm the kind of person who if you tell me the pizza will be here in 45 minutes and it shows up in 50, I'm kinda pissed. I'd rather you say an hour and then get it here in 35 minutes. Every time I've ordered delivery around dinnertime, even in the deep freeze we had last week, it was here in a very timely fashion. Try the basics but don't shy away for the insane pizzas either and they are all good! Great crispy crust, bubbly cheese and plentiful toppings. We have found our place here in Lakeview!

This place was just what we were looking for! We walked right in and had pizza by the slice in minutes. The crust is very tasty. It had a wide range of pizzas to choose from. I had macaroni and cheese pizza and BBQ pizza that was delicious. Can't wait to go back when visiting Chicago again!

Can't say I understand the good reviews this place gets. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day but I have never had a saltier pizza. It was nearly inedible. Big portions and reasonably priced. Still will not order again.

This place gets busy and sometimes you have to wait. But it's worth it! They have some unorthodox choices which makes them different than the 1,000s of other pizza places in Lakeview. I really liked the mac & cheese pizza I ordered. Good tasting crust, and not soggy like some other nearby places. I"ll have to come back and try some other pizzas on the menu. Parking is a pain though, what else is new?

Never have I been to a pizza place where they include the ranch on the pizza for you! With pizza by the slice and open late it's hard for anyone to say no to this kind of deal. Try the bacon, chicken, BBQ and ranch! Incredible

Chris H.

I have a hard time giving out 5 stars but this place deserves it. The pizza was incredibly diverse and all 4 slices I tried were wicked tasty. They have everything from vegan to meat lovers, to s'mores pizza. I wish I lived in the area just to be able to frequent this place! It's a must try!

Seriously? How did I not know this existed before now?? Super friendly staff, Highly recommend the chicken fingers, Mac n cheese and chicken and waffles. We'll be back for sure!

In the highlights and insights section of Dimo's yelp page, it states that 'vegetarians go nuts for this place.' Well I can say for a fact that this vegetarian is pretty much going 'meh' for this place. Dimo's definitely serves a purpose. And I appreciate this fact. I've been unfortunate enough to be at Dimo's on a Friday or Saturday night. Drunk bros and biddies in wrigleyville are bad enough. But the drunks at Dimo's getting their grub on are the worst sort. To all the employees at Dimo's out there: you guys are saints. That being said, I do like the pizza here. The crust is great. But the vegetarian options are abysmal. The only one that they always have is the Mac and cheese pizza. Not a fan. I'd rather just have a piece of plain cheese- but they never have this option. So please, more veggie options!!!!! I'll be back when I'm in the neighborhood and am craving a slice.

I love Dimo's pizza. The employees are always energetic and the feel of the restaurant is electric. The creative types of pizza always get me. Mac n Cheese is a go to for many but I generally choose the one with slices of potato with ranch and bbq sauce. They have a great punch card system as well - if you're a frequenter of Wrigleyville, make sure to get the punch card and take advantage of the free piece of pizza!

Now I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to order nacho pizza, except that I often make dubious restaurant-ordering decisions when my wife isn't around. But I have to say that the resulting pizza was remarkably tasty -- flavorful and tangy toppings, not overloaded, and most importantly, the best delivery-pizza crust I have had since Moroni Brothers in Washington DC five years ago. Maybe better. But almost as importantly, they also have competent and helpful service -- which is crucial when you're hungry and trying to use modern technology to get people to cook and deliver you a pizza. They were out of an ingredient, and tried at least five times in 30 minutes to reach me by telephone, leaving several voicemails explaining that they were making a substitution that they hoped I'd like, but encouraging me to call them back in case that wasn't what I wanted. And while I did call them back, they'd made the right decisions in my absence. How often can you say of a pizza place that you were impressed with their judgment and professionalism? I think I've found my go-to pizza delivery joint in Chicago.

Marcus G.

This place gets 5 stars just from the many different options of pizza it has. It's even better because you can get slices and don't have to commit to a full pizza, but everything I've had was great. I don't think I've had a "regular" flavor at this place! Wish it had more seating options but that's not a big deal at all and it does get crowded after bar hours so be ready. Affordable and unique pizzas!

The Mac & Cheese pizza here is awesome. The staff is super friendly & most importantly they have local Craft Beer on tap which always wins my heart! Definitely a good place to check out. [Pizza/Beer/Vegan friendly - 5 STARS!

Pizza is so different, creative and tasty. Chicken and waffles, Mac n cheese, and pasta and Italian sausage all on a pizza crust...so good. Everyday its something different. The feel is hippy. The prices are fair and the staff is funny and nice.

Linda K.

Love love love this place. Been here 3 times and each visit has been amazing. The first time I visited, I had the Mac n cheese pizza which was amazing but a bit too rich for me. The next time I had the chicken Alfredo pizza which was to die for. The third and most recent visit, I had the pulled pork with spicy Sriracha sauce. That was ah.may.zing. Dimo's has never let me down sober or drunk. Will be going back every time I go to Wrigleyville. Also the staff is pretty awesome. Expect to wait in line if you're going after last calls at the bars or on a major drinking holiday (i.e. St. Patty's), but the staff is quick and efficient and you won't have to wait for long. Try their specialty flavors you won't regret!

Had Mac and cheese pizza and chicken penn pizza my buddy Brandon had a Chicago dog and the Sriracha and tofu pizza

Kate U.

I'm a fan of this place! Great and fast way to get a slice of pizza. It's pizza by the slice with a variety of different kinds of flavors you wouldn't normally see at the chains (bbq & blue cheese, mac & cheese pizza, nacho pizza, etc.). This reminds me of some of the pizza places in New York. Nope, this is not your typical chicago deep dish pizza joint. It's conveniently located right by Wrigley Field so it's a great stop before going to the game. How it works is you pick your slice of pizza and they warm it up for you in the oven so it comes out nice and hot. Sometimes the line can get long but they actually move people pretty fast. I'm glad Chicago has one of these places similar to New York. I wouldn't advise visiting this place at 2-3am, because you'll see a lot of drunk douchebags trying to get food in their alcohol filled stomaches. The guys I'm sure will be hitting on anything with a pulse at this point, you've been warned.

I love Dimos! Especially there Chicken & Waffles pizza. Tonight was not the night. There weren't enough pizzas made in holding and I he ventilation wasn't working properly. Smelled like burning dough :(

Service: great! Willing to answer my many questions about vegan options! Food: Only had one piece - the mexican pizza (vegan). It was only decent....but I've heard that the quality definitely depends on which piece you order. I will most certainly be back to try another flavor soon! Price: very affordable! Complaint: hobos were sitting inside the restaurant asking for money. I don't want to be rude and of course i have compassion, but it's a bit unnerving to have a hobo beg you for money while you eat. :/

Christopher R.

I don't know why it took me this long to discover Dimo's. Best vegan pizza ever. No Joke. I've have pizza from there twice and pigged out, loving everything I've had so far! Vegan Mac - Awesome. (adding a little pinch of salt makes this one PERFECT) Teesy Potato - Always been an advocate for potatoes on pizza and this one is excellent. Vegan Philly - Incredible. This was my favorite until I had the ... Vegan Hawaiian - Holy cow. Pizza heaven. Can't say enough good stuff about this place. Wrigleyville is BYOB which is fun if you're dining in. They have a pretty broad delivery map too.

Niks O.

First stop on my first trip to Chicago! Came after going out in Wrigley. Craackkiiin lol. But not so much that I wouldn't wait in line! haha. Don't be fooled it's thin crust pizza, not normal Chicago deep dish, but I actually prefer it better. They have AWESOME toppings. I got the MacNCheese pizza OMG YAAASS it was BOMB dot com! And the Hawaiian BBQ ahhh. There was this fries one and I don't know some other things I wish I got all of them! What's also awesome is that you can BYOB! I saw a table with a 24 pack of PBR! But that's just a Chicago thing I guess lol. Lovedd itttt

Eric J.

A late night visit to Dimo's is a must for every trip to Chicago. Staff is always attentive and it feels like your local friendly pizza place. I've never tried delivery, but having never lived nearby, I've never had the need. Pizza has always been pretty quality and even though you might be getting a re-heated slice, it'll still taste great. Or at least that's what your drunk self will always tell you. And he's never let me down so far, so yeah. The pies are very creative, the slices are huge and the line cooks are pretty efficient. You can't beat that. I recommend the spicy mac & cheese or the spinach pesto. They're very patient about explaining the menu, and have a few vegetarian options other than just cheese, which is good if you have a friend in your group who is an herbivore. You'll likely have to wait in line on weekend nights after 1am, But trust me, it'll be worth the wait. If you're out in Wrigleyville and you've had a bit to drink, this is the best place for your late night pizza fix.

This place is horrible! Great selection of pizza! Yes! If you love burnt pizza !!! Shit is horrible!! I just ate charcoal! No joke!!!! Hate pizza that's burn! Not to mention waiting inline for 15 min! Horrible experience!

Robert L.

This place was very tasty following a Cub's game. The food here is very original in its variations, fresh, and tasty. At Dino's you can come in and grab a quick slice, enjoy the personalities of the employees, and be happy with the price at your paying. I would gladly return for another slice of pizza especially after a late night in Wrigleyville or following a Cubs game.

Brandon P.

What an amazing place. The staff was super helpful, even such a late hour. The pizza was incredible. What amazing choices and flavors. I can't imagine a better late night place to grab some much needed food after a long night of partying in Wrigley. These guys know what they are doing. And what cool art on the walls. Man. I know where I am going for every meal when I'm in Wrigley. You gotta check this place out.

Brett F.

Pizza was great. As a New Yorker, their regular pie looked and tasted very similar; can't always get a good, foldable slice. Not your typical "deep dish" Chicago.

KB C.

Well, after reading all of these fabulous reviews I gave Dimo's a shot...it's average at best. Great variety of ingredients to choose from... My simple test was to order the very same pizza that we generally order from any restaurant (sausage, onion garlic, 'shroom), this way we have a definitive baseline comparison on the taste of the pizza. Dimo's was quite bland...unfortunately. I really was so hopeful dammit! The crust is a little too thick and doughy. I had even placed the pizza in my own oven to crisp it up and it's just not what we are striving for... (Note: We are Chicagoans who recently moved back home from the east coast and I know first hand what a thin crust NY pizza tastes like and this is not it people!) If ANYONE can offer some helpful advice on where I can find a thin crust that's crispy/chewy, sauce is tasty and ingredients are fresh...please help a brother out!
(2)
Matthew B.

Simple, cheap and delicious. I have been ordering from Dimo's for a few months now and it is consistently great! Dimo's offers a variety of odd-ball pizza combinations, but their traditional cheese + topping combinations is why I am writing this review. For delicious pizza in the Lakeview area, this is the place!
(5)
David F.

I fricken love Dimo's. So many delicious options to choose from, and they're open late which is great. The Mac & Cheese is definitely a must have for first-timers, but the BBQ chicken, bacon, cheddar, ranch is probably my favorite overall. It's probably sinfully bad for you but oh well, that's what exercise is for. Be sure to check out their specials menu. There's a monthly special as well as a weekly one. Sometimes they're amazing (and it's sad when the really good ones only last a week), but sometimes they can be...questionable. Though I'm sure there's tons of people who'd enjoy the exotic options.

Anabella J.

Good variety of pizzas.however they dont look so fresh nor did they taste fresh.i think the reason was that they were not heated up right.4 stars-well i have to give them they are different from anybody else and unique,however i wont be coming back.

Jen K.

It's a pizza joint, so I don't think I can get a novel out of this review. It's in the heart of Wrigelyville and a basic set-up, made to get people in and out. The staff there are nice enough but are always rushing. I have tried the mac n cheese, the BBQ, and the chicken parmesan. They were all very good. It's a fun place to go for something outside of the box, but I wouldn't equate it to being "really good pizza" especially in a city known for it's pizza.

Casey M.

Dimo's Pizza is a great late night place for a quick slice or two. With their very creative topping combinations and a fun staff Dimo's does not disappoint. Although it can get very crowded there in the early morning hours, a giant slice and a soda pop for five bucks will truly soothe your hunger pangs. Or sober your drunk ass up. On my last visit I enjoyed a slice of Chicken Bacon and a slice of Macaroni and Cheese pizza. Both were good and filled me up. It was only 10pm and the place was full, but the staff was having fun as well were me and the customers. And to sum it up... Simple, good and giant slices, to soak up all your midnight vices. Pepperoni, sausage and Mac N' Cheese, the staff here surely will please. One napkin, two napkins, three napkins, four, No more chairs? Sit on the floor. Build Me Up Butternut and Gnocchi Dokey, The special's names may sound a little hokey. But, believe you me, everything here is nice, Get your booty to Dimo's, take my advice...

Ada H.

Awesome Zaaaaa!!! And the staff ROCKS! I've been meaning to come here since it was Ian's. I never did, but it doesn't matter because Dimo's is awesome! The only reason I am deducting one star is because I feel that the pizza doesn't stay warm for long when you get it to go, and it's just not the same at home. I've been a couple time and have tried the Philly Cheese Steak, Fettucine Alfredo, BBQ Steak & Fries, and the Chorizo Seitan Taco (vegan). The chorizo taco was a bit too spicy for my taste, but that's my only complaint! I love how it's all thin and the slices are generous. #twicetheslice! There are so many options that it's very hard to choose. Everyone behind the counter are more than happy to tell you about each pizza and answer any questions. I got a punch card my first time and they added an extra punch. How nice is that? If you like pizza and want try some cool combos then Dimo's is a must. But don't expect to find pepperoni or just cheese.

I lived down the street so normally after the fun and shenanigans I usually found myself choosing between Dimo's or T-Bell. I mean you can't go wrong with either but T-Bell doesn't have Mac and Cheese pizza, philly steak pizza, chicken and waffles pizza, etc.... you name it, and Dimo's more than likely has it. I never appreciated Dimo's enough until recently. I was back in the area during the daytime (sober) and hadn't eaten lunch and was craving some mac and cheese pizza so I stopped in. By far my favorite slices are the philly slice and mac and cheese. The combination of toppings are genius and just melt in your mouth. The crust almost tastes like pillsbury dough bread out of the tube that goes Pop. Slices are HUGE so you get your fill. Great service, really friendly people. Oh the memories living on Newport Ave...the best mornings would be when I had some leftover Dimo's laying next to my bedside....breakfast of CHAMPS!!! Oh how I miss Dimo's...

K B.

I'm not a native to Chicago. I'm also not really into Chicago-style pizza. Thus, this is my favorite pizza in the city so far! The crust is crispy, but not chewy, and the toppings usually come in many different varieties. I still haven't had the s'mores pizza, but I dream of it nightly. As others mentioned, there is usually at least one group of annoying people commandeering a table. However, it is worth the struggle. And worth 5 stars in my book.
(5)
K. G.

I used to rave about Dimo's to anyone that would listen. We had a list of 5-7 favorites and would grab slices fairly regularly. My last trip there was incredibly disappointing. It was at 5:45pm on a weekday (no Cubs game). Food: limited choices (7 total, 2 were vegan); asked about some of the aforementioned favorites and was told they don't make them anymore; overcooked slices (particularly the chicken and waffle, which is excellent when prepared correctly and almost inedible when not) Service: I ended up ordering 3 slices, 1 of which needed to be cooked. I was told it would be 10-12 minutes. After 15, I inquired. The pizza was being pulled from the oven, so I thought I was all set, except that my other slices hadn't even been warmed up yet. I was the only one waiting for food. No excuse. I love this place in theory, but the quality is slipping.

Nomie N.

NY Style Pizza when done right is very satiating...and Dimo's does it right. I don't think they advertise it heavily as being such, but there is no doubt about it. The slices are huge and you gotta fold em to make em fit in your mouth...and when they do go in your mouth, its game over. The crust thickness is just right, the sauce and toppings taste great and along with the selection of bottled drinks, it gets a solid 5 stars.
(5)
Judy L.

Stumbled upon this little gem of a pizzeria last night! Ooey, gooey pizza with crisp crust and all of your favorite comfort foods as toppings. Pizza is served by the slice for $3 (or $3.50...eh, it was kind of a late night) and cups of water are warm, but free. The cheese and potato pizza, cheese tortellini and chicken n' waffles pizza were all awesome. The waffle pieces were crispy and syrupy. Need to get back there for the mac n cheese slice! If my memory serves me right, I think there are a couple of long picnic table types of seating and then a couple of two seater tables. Seriously worth the stop and they are open late night!
(5)
Mike G.

They told me not to write a review but I must. Hands down one of my favorite spots. The staff is always super friendly and the Mac and cheese pizza is the peanut butter to my jelly. I love you Mac and cheese pizza. Always innovative thinking of things you normally wouldn't try and I've never been let down.
(5)
Reva M.

I just love Dimo's. I'm a New Yorker and still strongly consider it to be the best New York style pizza in Chicago. It also will redefine pizza for you. I highly recommend the loaded baked potato, chicken bacon ranch, and chicken parmesan pizzas. But try them all! :) Helpful hints: 1. If you have friends or relatives who are vegan or lactose intolerant, Dimo's is great because it has a lot of options for cheese that are not actually cheese. I'm pretty sure you have to order these for delivery, but it's still a great option. 2. Yes, Dimo's is a great drunken late night snack but avoid going late at night if you don't want to wait in a long line.
(5)
Sacha F.

This isn't too bad if you are craving late night pizza and want to watch the drunk idiots in Wrigleyville skip around. If you are going through a rough breakup, are PMSing, or want to make bad decisions you should come here, they have smores pizza, nacho pizza, pretty much anything you want pizza to boost that self-esteem. Well priced, and open late.

Chrissie W.

No one makes you feel as welcome as Megan does! She makes the Dimo's experience as fun as anyone could imagine. Her upbeat personality and her willingness to explain the amaZing selections make her one of a kind in the late night pizza biz! Thanks Megan, for giving us not only a great couple slices of pizza, but also a cherished Wrigleyville memory! Side note: I've never had a s'mores dessert quite like the s'mores pizza there. It's the perfect type for summer nights!

Marga P.

Had to come try the Mac and cheese pizza, and it was worth it. So much better than I expected. The other slices were also really good (really liked the cheesy garlic bread slice), and the service was really friendly and helpful for our first time here.

Wil C.

When you are in Chicago, you go for pizza. Obviously. Walked into Dimo's and immediately greeted by Carl, who isn't just a friendly host but also has the entire menu committed to memory and less tells you what pizzas are on the menu but performs it to you. Once chosen the slices get cooked whilst you chat. The pizza itself is very good, chewy base without being too salt; high quality ingredients and obviously piping hot. If you like your carbs and hate your body you cannot go wrong with a slice of mac and cheese pizza. If you are in the area, go to Dimo's.

Justin W.

It's one thing to have a quality product, in this case, pizza, but it's another to deliver so quickly. And on a bike? Some dude named Dan got here 10 min before I expected a car. That's worth a tip.

I came in here with a supper hungry stomach. My friend and I were in a bit of a rush, for we only had 2 hrs before class started. This was our first time here. The girl with the short black hair, who helped with our order was supper friendly. She went through the menu, informing us what they offered and how concoctions could be made. And after a minute we ordered a 12 inch sausage pepperoni. As simple as pepperoni and sausage could be, the ingredients here we're good and complimented the thin pizza well. I myself am a fan of pan or deep dish(yes, I love yummy doughy pizza). Despite my favoring of a thicker slice, this thin pizza was quite yummy.
(4)
Mike L.

LOL. Just when I thought my experience with these guys couldn't get worse, it did! The refund these guys promised me for food that wasn't delivered for two hours has yet to hit my credit card account. The charge certainly has, as my most recent credit card statement attests! Congrats guys, you've gone from selling bad pizza (I went in, saw how grimy the place looked and how mediocre the pizza appeared and thanked my lucky stars I didn't eat any of it) to being thieves. Well done.

Angie L.

this place was okay. we got caught in the rain and walked the .5 mile here based off yelp reviews. i really wished we had chosen a place closer to our original location so we wouldn't have wasted time getting soaked in the rain seeing that the food was average. we ordered three different slices and they were just okay. we also got the bottled root beer which was different as it had cinnamon in it. the service was friendly. i was a bit bothered by the bathroom seeing as it was in the kitchen. you go through this door and the bathroom is to the right and the kitchen (where they prepare your pizza) is on the left. the two were a little too close to each other for my comfort.

The husband and I went here on a "How About We" date, and when we mentioned that to the manager he said, "How about that!" It was pretty funny. We got the Philosopher salad, and everything about it was awesome except for the olives. But that's my fault. I always forget that I hate them. The feta cheese made up for that, of course. As far as pizza goes... this stuff was top-notch! We got a slice of the philly cheese steak and the barbecue chicken ranch. Both were absolutely fantastic, but the BBQ won out. Can't wait to go back and try it again. The board games were also pretty fun, we ended up playing The Game of Life: Simpsons edition. My only complaint: The music when we came in was all one album of some heavy metal, which didn't bother me except for the volume. It wasn't until some other customers came in that they changed the music and turned it down. Overall this place was perfect. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. Can't wait to go again!

nice lil find thanks to yelp. Had the BBQ chicken pizza minus the ranch, and the smores pizza. both were amazing! especially that smores pizza! and they deliver (oooOOo boy dangerous to any one trying to diet). Love this place just sad I found about it towards the end of my time in the city.

Jennie S.

If one friend wants tacos and the other drunkenly wants pizza, what should you do? Enter the Steak Nachos pizza from Dimo's. Get it. It's totally worth it. We added some cilantro on top and it was the best thing ever. We also had a large pepperoni pizza and it was almost super-bowl sized. Generous portions and 1 AM delicious. They have decent vegan and vegetarian options. I'm happy to try the rest of the menu the next time I'm in the area. It is always incredibly packed at night so pick up or delivery if you can.

I ordered a delivery pizza from Dimo's on Saturday night and now -- a week later -- the roof of my mouth is still healing from the sear of their ultra hot pizza cheese. I realize that burnt mouths from hot pizza are no new feat, BUT burnt mouths from a delivery pizza? That's kind of a big deal. Obvi, fresh and clearly they raced through traffic to get it to me likety split, so it was the perfect, piping hot temperature to melt my uvula off at first bite. Some friends and I were actually at Headquarters Barcade saying our farewells to my best friend who's moving to California and were in dire need of pizza. I wanted to buy for the group, but also not burn my wallet and Dimo's was perfect! I got two giant 20" cheese pizzas for $35+tip. The delivery arrived at exactly the time they said it would and the driver was super nice... I think because I was already waiting outside so he wouldn't have to fight through the crowd at the extremely crowded barcade. Dimo's wasn't actually my first choice, and I had many options as Jet's was originally suggested by the bar but to be honest, the pizza this other table nearby ordered from Jet's looked pretty nurst, though they did give us some coupons. I opted to forgo the Jet's coupons the barcade gave actually handed me their house iPad to look through their GrubHub account for delivery options, but to be honest, I kind of really dislike GrubHub and don't understand why people use it to order instead of just calling the business directly since GrubHub takes a cut of the businesses profits when you order through them or use the phone number listed for that business on the GrubHub site, so I opted to chance it on my phone and hope that whereever I called would deliver to my area... also, I had no idea how to work the iPad they gave me to even cruise the GrubHub site, so that may have also played a role in my decision. I'd originally decided on Pequod's, which is pretty much always spectacular... only the delivery time for them was over 2 hours and it was already late and I've been sick, and I was hungry since yesterday, so no. Just nothing working in my favor with that one. But then I came across Dimo's on Yelp, they had great reviews and delivered to the bar I was at, hereby fitting all my criteria. Done! Dimo's was super friendly on the phone, it was easy to hear them clearly, and turns out, their pizza is super cheap. So I got those two 20" cheese pizzas for $35+tip and they came in those giant ass triangle slices so it's not the greatest to share with a lot of people, but we didn't have an enormous group, so it was fine for us. So apparently the big triangle shape + crust + greasiness is New York style, or so I was told. I didn't think the pizza was greasy at all, but my boo is kind of crazy about eating healthy so of course pizza causes his stomach to have a bit of a conniption, but he lived and this pizza was my saving grace as far as sustenance goes. It was definitely really salty, but hit the spot. I guess Dimo's is know for kind of cray pizza concoctions, but i didn't know that and I was on a budget so I just got cheese, but it might be tastier if you get actual toppings or combos. I don't often find myself in this area with having not already eaten, but if I'm ever in the same predicament again, I'll definitely give Dimo's a ring-a-ding-ding.

I have a theory: food you steal from other people always tastes better than your own. In fact, it's probably true that other peoples' food always smells better than whatever you decided to eat anyway. Thank goodness for that because I would've never tried Dimo's unless I was stealing bites from my roommates. I've never ordered a slice from here, true, but I've been here more than once and have tried a couple of flavors, both savory and sweet. Luckily, my drunk roommates always over order and sometimes there is more than a slice left waiting for me. The flavor combinations here are really inventive and sometimes borderline off putting (they squeezed how much of that white mystery sauce all over the pizza?), but I've liked every single one I've tried. I've had the Mac option, a s'mores option, a BBQ option, and an enchilada option. This is one of the few times when I will go against my Italian nature and say simpler isn't better here. In fact, if you go in and order the most trashed up slice of pizza you can find, it'll probably be the best one. This is drunk college student paradise, however. It loses a star only because at a certain time (that time being about 8-1 on any given night) there are a lot of drunk people you need to wait behind, so patience is key. However, the staff here are super friendly and chat with everyone. I've never seen them try to pull a fast one on a drunkie, either, which is comforting. I think next time I stop in I might actually order a slice of pizza. Hope it tastes as good as all the stolen bites I've taken. Probably not.

I was recommended Dimo's pizza by a friend - and I'm so thankful to them! Dimo's pizza is so unique and tasty I wanted to try every flavour! The staff were so friendly I stayed for a few hours jut chilling out. Can't recommend Dimo's enough, it's a must try :)

Really cool concept w/ fun & tasty pizza. Dimo's is a Wrigleyville staple as of late (so I'm told) for late night slices after the bars and/or a Cubs game. Get in line & don't ask for a menu...use your eyes at the pizza case to pick & choose different slices. We had the Mac & Cheese pizza, the Meatball Special (had a raspberry jam, goat cheese & penne pasta) & BBQ Pulled Pork w/ Pineapple. They certainly hit the spot! They have a cool dining area & the staff is loud & fun! If you DON'T want deep dish (they serve thin crust here) & want some fun, crazy pizzas, stop in & enjoy Dimo's!

I love their creative pizza ideas. This place is great whether you're black out drunk or stone cold sober. Last time I went, my friends and I hung out eating various creative pizza slices while playing The Simpsons Monopoly. Of course, this in contrast to Halloween, when I vaguely remember stumbling in and somehow scoring a few slices of pizza using pocket change, and if I remember correctly, I even tried to pay with my state ID. They're cool though - I'm sure the staff at Dimos has encountered all kinds of customers. Whether you're hanging out to play board games and spend quality time with your friends, or you've got a mad craving for something totally bizarre, Dimo's is awesome and always hits the spot.

2.5 HOUR WAIT FOR DELIVERY. I ordered my one small pizza online their website, which was very simple and user friendly. However, I ordered it at 7:15 pm and received an email that my pizza should be here by 8:28 (hour and 15 later...). Around 8:45 I still did not have a confirmation email saying my pizza was out for delivery, so I called them. He said they got slammed with deliveries. I just received an email saying my pizza would be arriving at 9:28 (2 hours and 13 mins later!!!!). My pizza just got to the door at 9:48. Total time from order to door: 2 hours 33 minutes. So If you are looking for fast service, don't order here. I like the pizza but that was awful service. Good things I didn't have plans tonight.

I absolutely love pizza, so stumbling across a new pizza place is always an exciting experience for me. A friend and I stopped in to pick up a pizza to bring home, and had around 15 minutes before our pizza was done. The atmosphere is fine, cool decorations and a fun vibe going on. When we were there it was not crowded by any means, but I can see it being a bit cramped if there were a lot of people. As for the pizza - loved the idea of it, but the actual pizza came up a bit short. We ordered Dimo's Special, which was tomatoes, spinach, and feta. Crust on the outside was excellent, but the inside of the pizza was not done at all and very floppy. Flavors were good, but soggy pizza just bugs me. I'd love to try it again in store and see if ours was a fluke.

I'm not sure about amazing, addicted, and I don't typically go for vegan...I just like pizza. This place is ok, the photos represent an accurate display of what you get. The sausage pizza was mediocre at best, the CPA was a bit better....very different. If your looking for a crispy, thin crust pizza, keep looking. If you want interesting topping options on a softer crust, them give them a try. For the calories and the cash, I will choose somewhere else next time.

mark w.

Quite possibly the worst pizza I've ever had in my life... I don't know whether it was the leathery crust, the chemical-tasting sauce, or the sausage "coins" which could never have been cut from an actual piece of sausage that was the worst but their combination was truly spectacular. If you were raised in the suburbs and think that Domino's is a treat then you will love Dimo's PS: I gave half a slice to my dog and she wouldn't eat it.

Kind of a dumpy looking place but the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. $4 a slice for some pretty unique pizzas. I thought they were pretty tasty. Give their weekly specials a try.

Great cheese and crust and fun pizzas. Chicken Bacon ranch is phenomenal. Probably one of my favorite pizzas in the city. They lose a few stars though and here's why: - I've suggested pizzas they should make which were tried and tested in my old job and they were kind of jerks about it each time. Quite lame. - The last time I ordered I wasn't impressed for two reasons: the brownie was a joke - basically a one bite dessert and my pizza wasn't cut at all.

Hands down in the top 3 for best pizza I've ever had. Probably top on the list for best pizza I've ever eaten after drinking too much. You know, the kind of pizza you want when you've had a few too many beers and it's still early enough that you don't have to go to taco bell. When you really just want a piece of pizza topped with mac and cheese, philly cheese steak, or chicken fingers. Or when that sweet tooth just won't leave you alone and you're just tipsy enough to eat a slice covered in marshmallows, chocolate chips, and teddy grahams. This is where you go to get all of the above. I prefer a good slice of thin crust pizza to any other style of crust, and they do it perfect here. It's ordered by the slice from a pre-made pizza, which can be a risk at some places, but after they put it in the oven for a few minutes, the toppings are hot, the cheese is melted, and the crust is crispy like it just came out freshly made. The choices I listed above are just a small sampling of the crazy combinations that they have available. I got a chicken penne alfredo pizza and it was delicious. I was a little unsure about pasta on top of pizza, but mine was great, my friends tortellini pizza was excellent, and their mac and cheese with homemade crÃ¨me fraiche appeared to be one of their most popular. I also got to try the s'mores pizza, which had enough sugar to give an elephant diabetes, but if sweet is your thing; this one is definitely worth trying. I would give this place at minimum 4 stars for their food alone, but what put it over the top are the fantastic people working there. I don't think I could work in a pizza place serving drunk people all day and night and even pretend to provide good customer service. These people do it and genuinely have a blast, which just spreads through the whole place. They are really nice and were more than happy to explain everything that was on each of their odd creations. We even got to see some singing and dancing while enjoying our pizza (although I'd recommend sticking to your day jobs :). The service is fast, the food is delicious, and the staff is awesome. Definitely going to be a must visit for me the next time I am in Wrigleyville.

I love the pizza here. I've already reviewed this once but I must change my star rating due to the impeccable service I had over the weekend. My friend and I were standing outside contemplating whether we should enter. Mostly because I was concerned for the unhealthy eating factor and not because we were nervous of the food - we already knew it was good. We had two employees come up to us who were just about to start their shift. One who mentioned that the Greek Spanikopita style pizza was delicious and the other seeing our hesitance, offered a free slice to us. I did not think she actually meant this - was just a way to get us to come in. We decided to anyway and low and behold, we only paid for one slice. All of the staff I have interacted with here are incredibly courteous. 5 stars for you now, Dimo's.

What more could you want after a night of bar-hopping in Wrigleyville? This place has some of the most unique combinations of pizza toppings I have ever heard of: Chicken and Waffle Pizza? Nacho Pizza? S'Mores Pizza? It's good, and creative, but it's not going to top my "favorite pizza" chart anytime soon. The pizza looks like it's been sitting out a little too long and the style of crust is somewhere in between true thin crust and a traditional hand-tossed. Can't say I have the desire to come here sober but keep staying open late and I'll keep coming back after a few beers!

It was one of those nights where it definitely felt like 3:00 AM...and it was 10:30 PM. I suppose a Wrigley rooftop for a 3:30 game will do that to you. A group of us had been out after the game and quickly became a ravenous herd looking for nourishment. Stumbling out of Three Aces, we found ourselves in Dimo's. This 4 star rating is based on what you'd expect from a pizza place catering to drunks in Wrigleyville. They have a bunch of pizza pies already made, most of which include so many toppings you don't know what's going on. They slices are huge and thin, and once you've picked your pizza, they pop it in the oven and it comes out steaming hot. I commend the staff for being incredibly patient and explaining exactly what was on every piece so you could make an informed decision. I had some sort of chicken taco pizza and it was delicious. Flavorful, lots of toppings, I loved it. Others in my group got a buffalo chicken, philly, and sausage/pepperoni. Everyone scarfed down their slices. They also have a faucet with cups for water which was nice. Once I sat down to write this review, I checked out their menu and truly had no idea how many options they had! Overall, I'll be back for another slice.

Pita bread with ketchup. No, that's not an appetizer, that's what this place slangs under the guise of "pizza". The worst pizza I've ever had. Despicable.

I used to live a block or two away from this place. It isn't until now, a few years later, that I really appreciate just how damn good this pizza is. Forget Santullo's or any of the other "new york style" pizza places, this is the place to go. It's actually perfect. I am eating warmed up leftovers, and it tastes just like a slice I'd grab from any of my favorite slice spots in NYC. The crust is crispy, but has a nice soft springiness to it. The sausage is SLICES not chunks, and it also perfect. It's just damn good pizza. Real pizza.

Vincent B.

Dimo's topping options are super creative and change all the time! I've had the chicken and waffles, the pasta alfredo, and a few others. A great place to stop by before/after/during drinking nearby. The crowd is pretty young, and as you can see from the photos its all paper plates etc; but the pizza could not be better. Its not as delicate as pizza from apart or elsewhere but its really creative, 5 stars.

On the advice of a trusted foodie, we decided to try this place tonight. Although, he recommended Ian's, we discovered that Ian's is now Dimo's but nothing about the product or the process has changed. Either way, the pizza was great. We ordered 4 different slices so that we could try the various styles. They have more than four, but we are, after all, only two people. The macaroni-n-cheese slice was surprisingly good. I wasn't sure how I would feel about this particular carb-fest, but I'm a fan. The bottom of the pizza stayed nice and crispy, and the top was covered in a sauce, possibly bechamel, and elbow macaroni with at least two types of cheese. We both liked this one. The mushroom-penne-Alfredo slice was comparable. The mushrooms were abundant, the Alfredo sauce was good, and the penne, though fewer than the macaroni on the prior slice, was still sufficient. They have a pizza that is like mashed potatoes or small potatoes or something smothered with cheese. It is fantastic! Just to compare we also ordered a plain cheese and a pepperoni. Both were good. They were greasier than the other two, so the bottom of the pizza was not as crispy. So to eat this one you had to do the New York thing and fold the slice in half. Greasy equals soggier bottom but still tasty. Real plus is here is that Dimo's is BYOB! Also, they deliver in the neighborhood. But, unfortunately, not on days when the Cubs play or played, regardless of when the game was or what time it is now, so make other plans then.

So I'm not sure just how to classify this place in the pizza world. Board games, indie coffee shop atmosphere, wrigleyville local... It's confusing. What I can say is that the people that work there are awesome. They seem to genuinely love the place. The pizza? It is very good. It's not any better or worse than other local places but they have unique and very tasty combinations. I recommend it

I created my own 12" za (italian sausage, portobello, mozzarella, asiago, marinara) and also ordered a slice (BBQ Chicken). It was about 11:30pm on a Wednesday, and I ordered delivery. The best part about this experience was the delivery speed: my order arrived much quicker than the estimation provided. The food was hot and the sausage and mushrooms tasted delicious. Although I selected mozzarella as my base cheese and asiago as a topping, it appeared that there was little of either on the 12-inch-er. Additionally, the slice I ordered was good for a late-night slice, but its rubbery toppings and nearly-stale crust definitely indicated that it had been sitting for a while. Because of the speed and the taste of the toppings on my custom built pizza, I definitely will not rule out Dimo's for future orders. However, my experience did not appear to match that of other enthusiastic raters, mine being merely mediocre yet barely adequate.

I love dimos! Have been here on many drunk occasions and plenty sober lol. I really love the high fry pizza they had unfortunately they discontinued it recently for whatever reason I don't know why :( Fridays around 2am gets really crowded, long line and its tough to find a place to sit. Their free water faucet they have ready available for self serve is unusually warm.. Disappointing to bite into a great pizza then chug warm water without knowing.. Hip vibe good prices will be back again always

I visit Dimo's whenever I am in Wrigleyville. The mac and cheese pizza is the perfect end to the night after visiting bars. If you're looking for pizza with atypical toppings this is the place to go! It's always packed but there's a reason why.

This used to be Ian's, now it's Dimo's. The interesting variety of pizza is the same. The Pizza slices all need some sort of explanation, there are many to choose from, and nothing is basic really, but that's OK, the staff is helpful and friendly. I had chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese and ranch..it was great!~ I have been here when it was Ian's and it is the same stuff. The owners didn't want to pay a franchise fee, so they branched off. (when asked) If you are going to a baseball game at Wrigley Field, and some cheap eats, go here first. Then to Wrigley Field. The prices in the ball park are insane...and the food there is eck, This is not the best pizza in Chicago, but it's right up there.

When you have always been a traditional pizza eater (sauce,pepperoni,and cheese) it can be hard to steer away. This place has opened my horizons. Their pork nacho pizza was not only delicious,it was hot and ready. If you want to wait 40 minutes for deep dish at a fancy pizzeria, this is not your place. Looking for out of the norm, quick service deliciousness, this is your place.

If you're not looking for a Chicago-style pizza in Chicago, this is where it's at! Solid pricing, and outstanding food. The customer service was good, although the location at 6 Corners in Wicker is notably more spectacular and fun in that regard. They have incredible combinations, and tasty beers as well. We've had macaroni and cheese pizza, sausage alfredo, apple cinnamon rhubarb (vegan!), and more. All were spectacular, but I usually find myself jonesing for the standard cheese. Say cheese? Yes, please!

Calvin Y.

When a place has pizzas featuring Mac and Cheese, BBQ Chicken, and Taco pizza, there's not much more you can say besides that it's awesome. What's even better? When asked if I wanted a punch card, I told the gal that I was from out of town (so I didn't need one as I wouldn't be a frequent customer), we found out we were both from the Evergreen State!

Nitya D.

Yeah, let's talk about the s'mores pizza shall we? It's perhaps the most decadent pizza I've ever had. I was really weirded out at first when they informed me that there's a bit of mozz on the za. Because I was like "eehhhh mozzarella with marshamallows?" Well, they apparently hire genius chefs at Dimo's. Because holy shit, it was out of control. So much so that we got a large s'mores pie to go and devour at home. We made it about 5 minutes before completely inhaling it. Also had a savory slice with tomatoes and basil, which was good, but average, nothing special. Also had the pumpkin pie slice, which is totally vegan and available all month. It was okay as well, perhaps a little heavy on the pumpkin spice. Overall, very happy I had the opportunity to eat here while visiting Chicago.

my buddy and i went a cubs game. It was a lil after 11am and we were hungry. We got 4 slices but the special pizza of the day was awesome. It was a braised beef with herbed potato, red wine, and a some awesome mustard sauce. The server carl was very cool. Super friendly guy! Dimos pizza has unique pizza! Def worth a try!

Adam N.

The pizza is amazing. I am a native new yorker and NEVER compliment pizza unless it meets my admittedly ridiculously high standards. The slices i had (mac and cheese, poblano and corn, chicken and tangy sauce ) were both inventive amd comforting. They were delicious. The staff has an incredible attitude, friendly and no nonsense at the same time. I recommend Dino's with high regard and am excited to become a regular. Thank you for being yourselves and being incredible at it.

Shaina K.

Dimos has some interesting combinations! I really love their Mac n' cheese! Seriously, it's a whole carb-fatty filled slice of awesomeness. Try it. They rotate the different types of slices, so every-time we go there are never the same things (which is good and bad). Sometimes the combos look tasty, other times they do not. They're pretty expensive per slice ($4.50+) but we always get a couple slices and share, and three slices is usually more than enough food for two people. There is not much space to sit in, so I would suggest getting your pizza to go.

Anthony C.

If I could give zero stars, I would. We ordered a pizza at 7:25 and were told that the estimated time for delivery was over hour and a half. Ridiculously high wait time, but we held out anyway. Called back at 9:03 when the pizza should have been delivered and were told that it would take an additional hour, and when I told the gentleman on the phone that this wait was unacceptable, he said "ok, have a goodnight" and abruptyly hung up. Never ordering from them again. 2 and a half hours for pizza?

Pizza, like pork products, the Cubs, the art of napping, and Family Guy, is just one of those areas in which my beau and I agree to disagree. He is partial to thin crust, by-the-slice, New York style. I love deep dish. Still, we embrace each others' eccentricities and I have tried a few of his favorites just to be sporting. Usually I remain lukewarm about the plain cheese slices and finish with my pizza jones unsatisfied. Yesterday though, Ian's actually satisfied both of us, so color me pleasantly surprised. At first the options are a little confusing; there's a daily special written on a chalkboard, but then there are half a dozen other varieties on display that are not really described anywhere. It's a matter of discerning the ingredients or asking the (friendly) staffer. The creations are inspired: breakfast burrito, lasagna, taco salad, chicken Parmesan, plus one with big pieces of avocado and one with actual tortellini. I am somewhat of a purist and chose the relatively simple feta, tomato and spinach slice that actually had mozzarella underneath everything. It was like two pieces in one. The pizzas warmed up to need-to-wait-a-minute hotness, which was fine because truth be told, it took me a minute to cut through it with the cornware. (Cornware is what I call the biodegradable disposable utensils made from corn. If I am infringing on copyright, I apologize and plead ignorance.) The pizza definitely had body, the spinach was generous, and the crust was actually pretty great - crunchy, in fact. In addition to the above-average selection and quality of the pizza, they also carry Gale Gand's root beer. If you are like me and require a root beer or Dr. Pepper with your pizza, you are in luck. The bottle has a cute little story of how she created the recipe, and it was a fine root beer to boot. All told, three slices and two drinks cost about $14, which feels about right. The seating is nothing to write Yelp about but there are clever little posters around and you can even buy a "Pizza Slut" t-shirt if you are so inclined. I was not inclined but if there ever were a place that would tempt my monogamous loyalty to deep dish, it would be Ian's. We'll be back.

Long overdue update! After my last review, the owner messed me personally to remedy the "situation" with the service my husband and I had received. He clearly cares a lot about his business. I have been back here many, many times since that first review and each visit has been fantastic. Great pizza (the crust is so good and pretty close to NY style which is too darn hard to find here!), creative ingredients, and good service! Hooray for Dimo's!

Heard great things.... In reality not so much! Ordered pick up. They said 40 I was there well after. One pizza wasn't even prepared at all. While the other still wasn't out of the oven. Neither was the salad. Then he quickly threw one together with unwashed bare hands. I get if they were busy. But they weren't.

I am not from the Valley but Oh My God this place is Awwwesome! We stumbled upon Dimo's after last Friday Cubs game, as my boyfriend and I were eating appetizer across the street. Being an adult with a taste bud of a 5-year old child, he was eyeing this pizza joint badly. See, he can survive on cheese pizza (ny style) solely and won't at all think that it's a cruel and unusual punishment. As I was rolling my eyes, I consulted my guru aka yelp and I was impressed. In fact I was like, let's go and check this out. My enthusiasm scared him, he now wondered what he got himself into. I guess we got there at perfect time because there's no wait. The crowd poured in shortly after. I honestly was full, but chicken waffle pizza was calling my name. He ordered plain cheese, and I am happy to say they called him out twice for being boring Thank you for speaking the truth! My pizza was insane. It's a mix of sweet and savory. The butter and maple syrup glazed over the little chunks of fried chicken tenders and waffles. I can say this is not the healthiest food as my artery was slowly clogging. But hey, what's a heart attack or two for such culinary fabulousness. And the 2 slices came to be less than $7. Cheap and good, my kinda joint. Wish there's one in my own town...

Melissa K.

Waiting in a huge line for this "great pizza". Dealt with employees that seemed like we were wasting their time. To top it off, there was what looked like a bug in one of the slices and it was shrugged off as "extra protein". I realize most people are drunk the Saturday before St. Pats. But don't try and be a dick about it. We still paid for your pizza. Do your job and don't be a douche.

Nick M.

Great variety for drunk fans. Never had this sober, and probably will never. I usually get something crazy, and it is always good. Comes piping hot because they throw it in the oven upon order, though its already been cooked, so it's not really "fresh" The pizza sits under lights that keeps them heated. Best part is they have hot sauce available at all times. If you want something different try this place, though they are pricey. Expect to pay $4 or more a slice of your choice.

Jason A.

Dimo's isn't great by any stretch of the imagination but they are interesting. They are perfect for a late night snack by the slice while in Wrigelyville. They are great for parties for out of towners if you want to wow your family with a chicken and waffle or macaroni and cheese pizza. They aren't great for pizza snobs or everyday meals because the quality just isn't that high. The sauce is generic red sauce. Most specials are way over the top and clash. Ingredients aren't high quality and sometimes scare me. Cool novelty but that's about it.

Amanda K.

My hubs is ridiculously nuts about pizza. He's so obsessed with it that he even has sex dreams about it. So when we recently moved to Lakeview after spending a year living in NYC, with slice joints on every corner, I knew it would be our mission to find our go to place. After reading some various yelp reviews, I settled on trying Dimo's first. Best.choice.ever. The place has an awesome vibe, from the friendly staff (who I think totally had my hubs pegged as a pizzaholic, since they threw double punches and a few free slices of their Smores pizza at us), to the interesting toppings... After gorging on mac n cheese, lasagna, and cheese slices, and finding out about their totally cool vegan-friendly options and boards and booze game night, my husband gazed at me and said with a kind of breathless whisper..."This is the BEST PLACE EVER!" And like I said, this is coming from the guy who has SEX DREAMS about pizza...so you KNOW this place is awesome! The whole walk home, he was in a pizza porn stupor...Thanks, Dimo's, for satisfying my hubs in ways I never could...unless maybe I dressed in a sexy pizza costume or something.

My husband and I almost didn't stay to eat at Dimo's - at first we thought they just offered slices of the pizzas they had ready at the time, and I can't eat cheese, so I definitely needed to customize my order. An extremely friendly & helpful employee behind the counter saw that we were about to leave and she got our attention and told us to stay. She showed us their extensive menu and helped us pick a pizza that would be tasty for both of us. We went with pulled pork with pineapple, onion & BBQ sauce - half with cheese & half without. It sounds a little strange but it was delicious. I love their thin but not crackery crust. It was fresh and delicious and the staff was laid back but very friendly & accommodating. We will definitely be back!

BEST vegan pizza in Chicago! And its not just sauce, dough and toppings. They have whole vegan pizzas and slice options. They have vegan cheese and vegan fake meats. The mac n cheese pizza is my fave. The philly vegan pizza is also delicious!

Dimo's is a fun place to pop in en route to one of the many attractions on Clark (I tend to eat there if I'm rushed for time before an iO show). I love that it's BYOB, and there's always a great selection of off-the-wall slices. Some of my favorites have been the chicken and waffle, pesto tortellini, and banana and peanut butter with bacon (Elvis would approve). The staff is always friendly and helpful when explaining all of the different types of pizza, and the price is incredibly cheap. It can be hard to get seating if you come here later in the evening, but it's definitely a quick and affordable late-night snack.

Ivy T.

If you can't handle fingers grazing your pizza, sitting next to strangers, cafeteria style seating, drunks or douchbags, I'd suggest that you find another pizza joint. For those who can exist just fine around germs, drunks, and dicks, then you get to experience great pizza with unique toppings. Mac and cheese pizza? Check. Vegan pizza? Check. Tortellini pizza? Check. SMORES PIZZA? OMG YES. The place is pretty clean but being on Clark, you're going to see all kinds of people. If you're not a people person, good. This just means more pizza for me.

Aaron Jae M.

Came here for some late night slices. I got them to go and I think they sat in the car a little too long but it was still very tasty and flavorful. They are all about the crazy combination slices with lots of toppings. The slice is a little on the pricier side considering you can get a cheese slice for $1.50 but their quality and creativity make it worth it.

Ann Q.

i was walking around the area around midnight looking for a place to stop in and a grab a bite. Most places were closed or were bars that were no longer serving food. I saw that Dimo's is open till 3 am so I decided to stop in and grab a slice. Even so late at night it was fairly busy but I didn't mind waiting. The staff was nice and since they already have the pizza out it's pretty fast to get. They do warm it up in the oven a bit before giving it to you though. They also had some unique sodas which was nice. It took a minute to find a seat but eventually I did and got to enjoy my pizza, which was huge and tasted amazing! This is seriously some of the best pizza I've ever had. So good!

Update: LOVE THESE STONERS & THEIR WILD COMMITMENT TO PIZZA. Consider my previous review wayyyy too hasty. I've ordered & eaten Dimo's like ten bazillion times since then. It's vegan & normal folk pizza at it's most creative/weird/delicious. Delivery dudes are always high as a kite & sweet as pie. Love you Dimo's! Sorry for the harsh words from like 4 years ago or whenever it was.

I wasn't brave enough or in the mood for one of Ian's special slices yesterday so I opted for the pesto tomato slice. It was deeeelicious! The crust was crispy just like I like it without being burnt. Even though the pizza was sitting out it tasted like it was freshly baked. Yum! For $3.75 I thought it was a little pricey for not having any meat on it. My dining companions shared a small vegan sausage pizza. They were really happy to see they had Upton's sausage and were reeaaallllly happy with their pizza. For $10 it was a steal! I totally regretted just getting a slice of pizza for almost half the cost of their whole pie. The person taking our order was suuuuuuuper nice and made sure everyone in the restaurant was happy with what they ordered. I'd definitely be back if I could remember how to get here on my own. :)

If you like things other than pizza on your pizza then this is the place for you. This used to be Ian's pizza. I liked Ian's and I liked this place too. Although... This is one of those places that tests one of 2 theories I have on some restaurants: Can it be that the only time you eat here is A) when you're intoxicated Ihop tastes like Per Se or B) after sitting watching the cubs get beat up for 3 hours... Anything but hot dogs and stale nachos is going to taste amazing. I'll keep coming back here. It's almost tradition to go to a game then grab a slice here. The staff is pretty cool and funny too..

This was a nice, little pizza place. The workers were all happy and singing along to the radio. I told the girl that it was my first time here, and she showed me her favorites. I ended up getting the slice with pasta and chicken. It was delicious! And the slices are big too! Tuesday night are trivia nights. You are able to pick a category and if you answer the question right, you get an extra punch on your card to earn a free slice of pizza! I'll definitely be back again.

Formerly known as Ian's, Dimo's is pretty much the same place. A variety of specialty pizzas sold by the slice. If you're out and about late in Wrigleyville and looking for a bite, Dimo's is worth the short walk. It's hard to comment on their menu since it changes fairly often, but I've never had a really bad slice here. Just recently I tried the chicken and waffle pizza was had a great balance of sweet and salty on it. They also had some pizzas with a black bean base instead of tomato sauce, which gave it a heartier, chewier feel. Great stuff. They also have a weekly special, and it feels like every time I go I wish I was there for the next week's special. Not that the current's week's was bad...maybe just a case of me wanting what I can't have? Either way, the variety at Dimo's is so big you can usually find something to your tastes, and that's why I love bringing groups here.

I went with my boyfriend before Improv and we got 3 different pizzas. Chicken alfredo, pesto tomato, and the dimos pizza (feta, tomato, spinach). They were all perfect but definitely the Dimos Pizza was the best! The staff is 100%! The pizza is AWESOME! BYOB. Go, just go! Get to Dimos as fast as humanly possible.

Steve M.

This excellent pizza joint, just hovering beneath my nose all this time, and never have I tried the amazing Dimo's. Blasphemous! In the last (delicious) 24 hours, I have tried the Malort/Chicken Mole pizza, pesto/sausage and pesto/pepperoni. Amazing 'zas all! I will most definitely be ordering Dimo's for delivery in the near future. If you're in the hood and craving a slice, head on inside too - the folks who work there are cool and super friendly.

Lauren L.

For a girl that can't make up her mind, I have never been disappointed with Dimos! I can have a classic slice, or something they created. I normally order 3 different types and I will not complian!! They know a good pie!

I've been looking for a true standout thin crust pizza that caters to my old East Coast taste plus any time I have friends in town who don't want deep dish. With that, I declare Dimo's to be my favorite thin-crust pie in Chicago. My friend Melissa and I tried five different slices this past Friday night--BBQ chicken, BBQ steak and fries, The Mac, something with a ton of penne pasta and mozzarella, and one that had a feta/blue/roquefort type of sharp cheese on top. The latter was our only miss on the menu; the other four were somewhere between magic and spectacular, all perfect crusts, all tasty toppings, all good in the hood. And those slices are hefty; we had five between the two of us and it was too much food. This, plus a soda and a water for like $17. Filthy. Big thanks to my friend Leah for the recommendation...then I get up the next day and learn that Dimo's Wicker Park has already opened, so I don't even have to go to Wrigleyville any more to get this stuff any time I want.

My girlfriend and I hit this place up using a date that HowAboutWe gave out. The pizza was pretty good. They specialize in complicated pizza. We got a buffalo chicken slice, a mac and cheese slice, and a smore slice. We also split a salad. I'm not sure I'd go back for dinner, but I'd definitely stop in for a slice, especially if I was drinking in Wrigleyville. It was oddly hot in the restaurant. It was 50 outside, but we were sweating inside. The staff members kept calling everyone "buddy" or "bud". It really started to grate on my nerves after a while.

i tried dimo's for the first time tonight and i was blown away. first of all, the guy working the counter had so much personality and was extremely helpful by giving us a rundown of every pizza they have. we ended up getting a 20" half philly, half bbq chicken bacon cheddar ranch pizza and i almost died it was so good. but of course we couldn't eat all of it so we have breakfast for the morning! i can't wait to try more next time i come here!

A friend recently told me about this pizza place i would love so I decided to check it out. I am a massive MASSIVE pizza fan so it wasn't long before I did! At this stage I've tried it multiple times and never had a bad experience. It can get a bit crazy late at night when drunk people start getting food cravings but as long as you're one of them, you'll be fine! The staff there are beyond helpful and fun. To be honest I think they must be taking happy pills because no matter what time day or night you go in they're super sweet, attentive and knowledgeable about all the pizzas on offer! I've tried most of their specialty pizzas, but I'm a hardcore pepperoni lover at heart and always resort back to that. My one complaint is that it's not open that early on weekdays so my pizza needs go unfulfilled! :(

Jack S.

The squad and I come here on a regular basis with a couple 30 racks and post up to play Cards Against Humanity. Its tight. I've never tried the pizza tho; we only come in for the byob. Its pretty dope especially considering that its so cold outside and the ovens heat up the place nice and cozy. ;)

Meaghan L.

I'm a fan of this Wrigley Ville pizza joint. Do I order all the crazy pizzas like mac & cheese and curry? No, I actually enjoyed just a regular margarita pizza or sausage. A slice cost you about $3.50 and it's a decent size plus super fresh. The staff is really nice there and seem happy to be working. Plus they're open late night and it's a BYOB! And here's a tip- they sell their awesome dough to take home and make your own pizza for $2-$3!

Chicago is getting pretty competitive with pizza. There are a lot of great options. While Dimo's has potential, things didn't go well today. Pros: - Lots of creative pies - Decent prices Cons: - Pizza was 4 inches larger than the box it was delivered in. They smushed it in. - The wrong pizza arrived. It looked like the right pizza but was missing two critical ingredients (chicken and bacon) and included another that I do not like which was not listed on the menu (snap peas) - Crust was tough and hard to chew through A swing and a miss!

The pepperoni pizza was burned. I don't know how a pizza place doesn't know how long to leave a pizza in the oven. The salad was very good, which is why I'm giving any stars at all.

McDonald's and Taco Hell eventually catch up to you. This is a solid late night option if in Wrigleyville. Slices are large and meaty (don't say it) for a thin crust style pizza. I got two slices and a dr pepper for $8.50. Boxed water is $2.50, gimme a break!

Alex M.

I just ordered the most amazing vegan pizza from Dimo's! Their vegan monthly special (thanksgiving on a pizza) is so good. Last time I ordered their vegan mac n' cheese pizza and it was also amazing. I highly recommend this place, especially to those vegans in Chicago who are looking for an amazing vegan pizza!

Abigail C.

I come here often and am always happy. I have never been here when it was particularly busy so I always have a great time. Eat delicious pizza and sing a long to some great songs with minimal wait, what's not to love? They have something for everyone, even vegans!

Ben R.

We ordered the Mac & Cheese pizza tonight to try it out for the first time. We were so excited about trying this out. However, once we received the pizza & bit into it. We realized it was over done & almost completely burnt but not quite. Despite that I ate a piece & my girl only ate the Mac & cheese off the crust. We paid $28 bucks plus tip for a burnt pizza. Kinda upset, but might give this place another chance. Maybe it was a bad night.

Pizza is my favorite food and NY style pizza is my favorite pizza varietal. Therefore, Dimo's (nee Ian's) is like heaven for me. Unfortunately I don't make it to Dimo's as much as I'd like since I avoid Wrigleyville like the plague, but after my most recent visit I was reminded how much I love this place. We entered and were greeted by an enthusiastic (REALLY enthusiastic employee). We asked her to explain what all the pizza types in the case were. Dimo's has everything from normal toppings (yawn) to crazy toppings (curry, anyone? more on that later...) There are meaty, veggie, and now even vegan pizza to choose from. After much negotiation, dining companion and I settled on mac and cheese, chicken bacon ranch bbq (aforementioned enthusiastic employee's recommendation) and chicken curry. Our three slices were popped in the over to warm up and we grabbed seats. A few minutes later, we were called over to claim our bounty. So as I said, Dimo's is true NY style pizza - giant, thin, floppy triangular slices. I love 'em. Dimo's crust is also perfect. It's slightly sweet and manages to hold up to all the toppings. To my great shock, the chicken curry pizza was my far and away favorite. Sadly this was a weekly special and looks to be off the current menu. I really, really hope it comes back. The bbq was my second favorite followed in distant third by the mac and cheese. It may be Dimo's most popular pizza, but I found it pretty bland (especially compared to our other two slices). Not yet full and wanting to sample another pizza type, I wandered back to the counter to order ones last slice of steak nacho pizza. It was, of course, delicious. Dimo's does offer delivery, but I'm not entirely sure how well their slices would hold up to travel (Though as Ian's they didn't deliver to my house and I notice now, as Dimo's, they do. Commence fatness. ) They're BYOB and they're fantastic. Who cares if they're in Wrigleyville?

Sophia T.

Dimo's I'm in love with you! The crust is freagin ridiculous and your vegan pizza menu? seriously? you make me so happy and tingly. ordered a whole pie and loved every morsel of it. jeez, i don't remember which. but it was so tasty, who cares? i want to be back for slices Tuesdays so I can sample 13 different kinds of V pizza. love you!!!!!!!!!

Rosanna L.

I was first introduce to Ian's Pizza at a friend's apartment. I walked in and was like OMG mac and cheese pizza?!?! I love mac and cheese and I love pizza, what can be a better combo? I definitely had a slice and the buttery and cheesiness of it was just right for me. So ever since than every time I'm near Wrigleyville I have to stop at Ian's! The mac and cheese never disappoint me! Another favorite is the BBQ chicken which just has the right touch of BBQ and ranch! I can't wait to go back and try their other slices! Nomnom in my tummy!

Salvatore A.

Sue and I stopped in for a slice before going to the IO theater to see a friend perform. Like a seashore pizza place the way its set up with the wooden tables. Sometimes, you have to sit with someone you don't know. The pie was good but, not the best I have had . I had the Mac n cheese and Sue had the chicken and pesto, both white. I will be going back to try one with sauce since I did not get to try it. Reminds me of Lorenzo's on South street in Philly. My favorite Pizza ever since I was a kid cause they hand toss every pie as you watch amazed that he didn't drop it or rip the gigantic pizzas. Recommended if you are in the area.

I never knew that pizza could make you angry... until I ate at Ian's. While this flavorless, dried out pizza did not rouse my taste buds, it did stir my viscera with rage and make me see red. Why so angry? This was the worst pizza I've ever tasted, and I'd just dumped $24 + a generous tip on it. I'm no stranger to bad pizza. I grew up in southwest Ohio, where the pizza scene of the 80's and 90's was a very bleak thing indeed. I've tasted some crappy, chewy, dry, undercooked, overcooked, uninspired, unappealing, disgusting bad pizza, so allow me to reiterate: The Ian's Pizza I had last night was the worst pizza I've ever tasted. The guys working were very sweet, very friendly, and helpful when I had questions placing my order. However, perhaps they should have encouraged me to order one of their specialty pizzas because maybe that's all that Ian's really does well, or even just moderately well. Instead, I ordered for take-out a large soy mozzarella pizza with portobello mushrooms, onion and bell pepper. Let's cover the pizza from top to bottom: PEPPERS AND ONION: Usually, when I order these toppings, the peppers and onion soften ever so slightly in the oven, arriving in a fresh and palatably less sharp and crunchy taste and texture. On Ian's Pizza, the onions and peppers were completely raw, so much so I might have thought they were added *after* the pizza went in the oven. SOY CHEESE: Where's the cheese?! While it's true soy cheese doesn't melt well, it helps the dairy free customer's cause when you use more than a tiny child-sized handful of cheese to sprinkle over the pizza. The amount of cheese on the pizza was abysmal. Our cheese looked skimpy compared to what I saw searching online for images of Ian's pizza. (See the photo I posted of ours.) It was flavorless soy cheese too, and as Cristene mentioned, Daiya might be a better option. I guess we'd have to order extra-extra-extra cheese to at least cover more of the pizza, or it also might have been more palatable if we had more: TOMATO SAUCE: Again, so little to speak of and flavorless. Absolutely flavorless! Parts of the pizza had none, all of it was dried out. If my options are less flavorless sauce and more dried out pizza or more flavorless sauce and less dried out pizza, I am in a quandary of questionable dining... though I would probably opt for more sauce in the end. Since the pizza was both so dry and so flavorless, we gave up after eating one slice, went back to the box and added olive oil and spices to the pizza before tossing it in the oven in hopes of resuscitating it. It was slightly better. The MUSHROOMS were fine. I don't know, y'all. Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe it was an off-night. Maybe you have to order one of those specialty pizzas. Maybe you have to be wasted after a Cubs game. Maybe you have to order a non-vegan pizza. In the light of day, anger fades and I am left totally baffled. I had been looking forward to trying Ian's for so long and surprising my dairy-free boyfriend with a great pizza and movie night at home. Instead, he wound up upset that I had spent money on this terrible excuse for pizza. In fact, he asked me to go to you Yelpers directly. "You have to warn them," he said. I promised I would, so here we are. Skip Ian's. Go somewhere--anywhere--else.

Hey Dimos!!!!!!! If you're not open, then don't keep your tacky "OPEN" sign lit up. I was starving and driving by, and thought you were open so I found a parking spot and paid the meter and walked to go into your pizza pad. Your door was locked and no one was inside.

FINAL UPDATE: My friend and I ordered from Dimo's again last night with our credit. This time we got the Alfredo Penne Pasta Pizza. It was MUCH better than our previous experience. We really enjoyed the unique flavor experience. This time the crust was much softer. It definitely must have been burnt/overcooked last time. What truly shines to me is their customer service. They were extremely friendly and apologetic about the whole situation. And even after reimbursing us for our original purchase, and giving us a credit, they gave us another two coupons for a free slice. They truly care about their customers, and that goes a long way with me. I will definitely be ordering from them again. Thank you, Dimo's! UPDATE: Dimo's actually contacted me via yelp to apologize for the bad pizza. They reimbursed us, and offered to give us another order on the house if we'd like to try them again. I am shocked and extremely pleased at the amazing customer service. So I added a star for that. I will update my review again once we re-try their pizza. Thank you, Dimo's! A group of my friends and I just ordered two huge pizzas from here, and there is literally almost a whole pizza left. We each had a piece and couldn't even finish it. The crust honestly tastes like cardboard, and there is barely any cheese or sauce on it. I've included a photo of our leftovers that no one will touch. I am not a picky eater at all, and generally love any pizza, but this is AWFUL. It must be an off night considering this place has a 4 star review. But wow, just terrible. A total waste of money and everyone is still hungry.

It's like being a kid in a candy store except the candy is pizza -- lots of glorious, glorious pizza. I'd had Ian's at various functions many times, but I hadn't had the opportunity to go to the storefront. It's a bit intimidating. You walk in. There's a bunch of people milling about. There are a bunch of folks working behind the counter. There are a LOT of pizzas sitting atop the counter. There's no menu. If you can't discern what's what, you have to ask someone behind the counter about each and every one of the pizzas. I can't imagine that's fun for either the employee or the customer. I know pizzas change and spontaneity is a virtue of the business model. But, after the fourth or so, "Wait. What was that? Repeat, please.," I bet a menu board with descriptions starts to sound really good. So, awkwardness of the ordering process out of the way, where else in the city can you get a large slice of buffalo chicken and black bean (I may be making that up) pizza at 2 in the morning? Ian's fills a large hole in the city and I'm glad it exists. The flavors are unusual and even when it doesn't work well (just say 'no' to lasagna pizza), I appreciate the innovation and risk-taking. It's pretty easy to get overwhelmed by all the available choices, so I'd recommend coming in with an idea of the flavor profile you'd most want to try and a variation off a standard choice. This way, you'll be sure to get something you like (a pepperoni variant, for example) and you'll know when to stop when the menu recitation gets to be too long. A plan, people. Always have a plan. Even for pizza. I think that's the Boy Scout motto.

Dimo's is awesome. I'm the kind of person that appreciates variety/trying new flavors. If you're looking for something unexpected (figs! avocados! pasta! seitan!) on a pizza, Dimo's is the place. The staff are also incredibly friendly and fun. I went there last night (my 3rd visit) and ordered two slices from a girl who kept referring to me as "babydoll" which I enjoyed and found amusing. I went to pay and realized I had forgotten my wallet. I went bright red and was very embarrassed but the girl ringing me up told me "not to worry" and gave me my pizza free of charge! I thought that was so generous and wonderful because I was already terribly hungry. The only thing I wish Dimo's did was make labels for the type of pizzas they have. I know they change them frequently, but as a short person, it's incredibly difficult for me to hear them behind the glass and communicate what I want to them. And it's usually very busy and loud in there which makes it more difficult when ordering. Other than that, Dimo's rules. Go eat fun pizza, don't be boring.

I forsook pizza after being vegan. I heard about pizza in Chicago and I didn't feel the need to try any of it out, the cheese factor alone was unappealing to me. (When we order Papa John's we order the pizza without cheese) So one night my wife suggested two choices: Either we try Dimo's Pizza or an vegan Indian restaurant. I suggested Dimo's, just out of curiosity and to see what the vegan pizza would be like. My wife was not really thrilled about trying pizza for a meal, nevertheless we went and checked out the menu. I was impressed with the many choices on their menu for vegan pizzas. In fact, there were too many choices to choose from, we had a good dilemma. The cashier helped us out and we ordered one pizza with two different choices on each half: vegan BBQ chicken and the Naked 3Veg. (We also wanted to try the Chorizo Taco, Lasagna Marinara and the Spicy Chicken Taco) but next time...oh I can't wait for next time. The taste was fantastic and the price was amazing! More of a better deal that Papa John's or other commercial pizza places! We wanted to order more, even sample the others by slices, but that was only possible on Tuesdays and we were there Saturday night. This has been an awesome experience and we really want to come again to try the rest of what Dimo's has to offer. Oh and by the way, my wife who was uncertain about our choice to come here, she was totally lovin' it that every time I mention Dimo's she drools and is determined to go again without hesitation. Pizza is back in our lives thanks to Dimo's!

As I'm sure everyone has previously posted, they have some weird pizza here. All different kinds of toppings and flavors which is cool. However, the only reason I would really come here is if I'm drunk and I have the munchies. The pizza itself is not really good. It's more like the novelty of having those crazy toppings that creates the illusion that it's really good pizza. Come here if you really want to check out their toppings but otherwise it's just any other pizza shop. Try once but that's it.

Sierra H.

The pizza is decent but for some reason they never have any cheese pizza by the slice. They usually only have the mac n cheese pizza for vegetarians and I personally don't like it. It is good when you are wanting just a slice of pizza but I would probably just walk a few more blocks south and go to girodanos.

Lisa C.

So we had an issue with our delivery experience, but the customer service there is amazing because they handled our situation wonderfully!! They re sent out our correct order and didn't charge us for the pizza's and on top if it they gave us 2 vouchers for free slices next time we come in. So basically we ended up with a lot of pizza and it was great! The best part is they drew a pumpkin eating a slice of pizza on our pizza box as we requested on grubhub. My only thing is the vegan pizza needs a lot more vegan cheese on it...I'm willing to pay extra!!

Conor G.

Gotta love Dimo's, especially late night. Check out this Wrigleyville staple after the bar, or bring your own beers and hang out in the dining room with the cool and friendly staff. You'll find a lot of specialty slices here, and the classic pepperoni slice is one of the best around Lakeview.

Amy K.

I thought I wrote an update on this a while ago, but it looks to have never posted! I retract my first post about Dimo's as once they found out they didn't deliver pizza up to their company's standards, they IMMEDIATELY reached out to me to offer the opportunity to make up for it. The owner was nice as can be and apologized for any in-convenience and that meant a lot. I'm all about good customer service as I work in the hospitality industry, and just having an apology sent was more than enough! But then the pizza was replaced and it was the delicious Dimo's pizza that I had been looking for the first time :) I waited until other friends were in town to redeem the "make up" pizza, and was SO happy that they got to experience the infamous pizza the way it was intended to be. All in all, I really appreciate how quickly Dimo's was to make any possible bad experience better; they delivered both great customer service and great pizza this time around and that has completely erased any negative image I may have had from a bad experience. THANK YOU DIMO'S and keep up up the good work :)

NEW FAVORITE! Pumpkin, marshmallow pizza... are you kidding me 4 types of vegan pizza on top of a vegan brownie... I'm splurging forgive me, but wow this place is a knock-out. Throw in a really cool culture and friendly staff, and this place is my new haunt. I personally preferred over my other favorite Wrigleyville pizza joint, Pie Hole, since it's more vegan friendly.

I guess if your a stoner this place would be awesome.. but just my opinion I thought the pizza was gross. And I'm not a picky eater. I didn't enjoy the pizza I had there at all.. But I like the more traditional pizza. so maybe its just me.

Dimo's technically does deliver but you're much better served stopping in and picking up two or three different slices of fresh out of the oven pizza in person. There is a noticeable drop off in quality when the slices you order have been sitting around for a while so try to order whatever just came out and you'll be satisfied. Dimo's has an awesome array of creative pizzas and they're constantly coming up with new ideas. The only problem is that you never know what they are going to have on hand when you arrive and you're limited to whatever they decided to make. If you see a line out the door at 2 am, don't worry, it moves fast. Favorites: The BBQ Chicken, Spinach Feta Pesto, Spicy Chicken Taco

I created an account just to rate this place. Do NOT ORDER FROM HERE. We ordered 3 slices of pizza on a Monday night ,from less than a mile away, you would think it would be speedy delivery; well you would be wrong. It took 2 hours for it to get here and when it did it was the wrong order and ice cold. They were completely unapologetic and unprofessional. There are much better pizza establishments in the area with better customer service. take your business elsewhere.

Colleen A.

Ian's has gone down hill since it changed to Dimo's, which is weird because it looks like the exact same place with the same employees. I've been about 4 times and have been less impressed with each visit. My most recent visit could be my last and I wouldn't really mind. The employees act like they're doing you a favor by telling you what kinds of pizza are out. This is a totally avoidable issue if they would just put a label in the case in front of the pizza. They serve a rotating selection, but it's the same ones (just a different order from what I can tell), so just make a label and laminate it and put it in front of the pizza. Done and done. The pizza itself is good, and I like their veggie and vegan options. It could use some tv's and more than one can of cheese. Seriously, label your pizzas.

Celeste M.

Awesome pizza! Seriously every time I go there I am not disappointed. The service is always friendly and considering the Wrigleyville drunks they have to endure, it's surprising. I've ordered it for pick up. The wait time was about 45 minutes, which was kind of a bummer BUT the pizza is always worth the wait. I will ALWAYS go to Dimo's!

Cam M.

I've never step foot inside of this place. I have always done delivery via Grub Hub. That alone, gets props from me. I like easy online ordering. I first had their pizza around November of 2012. The girl I was seeing lived in their delivery zone, and they had good reviews on here. Fast forward to now, I live with said girl in a diff place, and I'm thrilled that we moved to within their delivery zone!!! This is our compromise place. She likes to get more veggie/adventurous orientated pizzas where as I prefer meat pizzas with a side of meat-the adventure for me lies in what kind of meat and whether or not it has barbecue sauce. Compromise as in, we always find something that sounds good to BOTH of us, not in quality. The basic elements are a somewhat chewey hand tossed style crust topped in creative/adventurous ways. I've yet to order a pepperoni or sausage pizza from this place. I'm gradually working my way through the meat heavy pizzas when my girlfriend isn't here, and we're working through the rest of them together. I've had most of their BBQ and Comfort Cravings Pizzas, as well as their S"Mores Pizza and most of the taco/nacho ones. I don't plan on sampling the Vegan options, but they have them!! Some notable standouts are: BBQ Steak & Fries-it sounds weird, but it is very good, Chicken & Waffles Pizza (w/maple syrup!!)-even weirder, but still awesome. I get that one when I'm craving something sorta sweet without going off the deep end into their S'Mores Pizza. That delicious, gluttonous, diabetic coma inducing goodness on a pizza crust. The first time I had it, I kept thinking that I wish they were around in my stoner days of the past. I rarely order it now though. It is something so sweet and rich that I don't think I could handle it more than twice a year, not out of lack of desire, but out of fear for developing adult onset diabetes. Delivery times run about what they quote. It is typically an hour. Yeah, it is on the long side, but they are worth it. I've received a sorta cold pizza once out of all the times that we have ordered from them. That is a pretty awesome rate. I think we've had it at least 20 times in the last year. It is Chicago, when you order delivery in winter, you have to take into account what the food goes through on the way to you. The people are always nice, even though I have rarely interacted with them. I've talked to them on the phone when there was an issue with my order (e.g. they ran out of a given item, issue with my card, etc).

Meh Definetly not what I was expecting. Three of us got different toppings and honestly it was nothing to write home about. I felt rushed choosing something, I don't know why they don't put signs up of what the pizza is. So after some eye rolling action from the guy behind the counter I ordered the tomato pesto pizza. I must say that the crust was pretty crispy and delicious, but the rest, nah. I would like to try the BBQ Chicken and Mac & Cheese so we'll see. After a Cubs game I might stop in again just because it's a spot down there with slices of pizza but otherwise I wouldn't make the trip out to Wrigley for this.

The crust was a bit dry but it was finished with excellent toppings and sauce. Definitely go try this place.

Gimmicky as all hell and they know it. Go into Dimo's with a sense of humor and a sense of adventure. All kinds of funky pizzas that have been detailed in the other reviews. I will speak to the veggie options only. Although they have some amaaaazing sounding 'zas for vegetarians on the menu, the selection of by the slice pies is limited. Most slices are filled with carne. Thankfully they had the mac and cheese, but the portabella also sounded good. The crust is crispy and buttery on my mac and cheese, but burnt and dried up on the portabella. Odd because they came out of the same oven on the same plate. Maybe work on some better consistency in that department guys. Flavors overall are great, the mac and cheese can be a little bland, so it's worth grabbing some hot sauce. Prices are totally fair for what your getting and the atmosphere is casual and cool.

If a place is going to market unique pizza creations, I would hope they could accomplish one thing above all. That is that the pizzas actually taste like the special topping. Just, you know, for example if you create a macaroni and cheese pizza, it might actually taste like macaroni and cheese. Call me old fashioned, but that seems elementary. Ian's didn't seem to have this simple formula down when I tried it. Their macaroni and cheese pizza appears to have the good stuff on top of it, but one bite reveals that it's imposter mac! It's the kind of macaroni that comes not even in a Kraft box, but in a Kraft single serving stir and eat. And even then it's the kind that occurs when too much water and it becomes a sticky mess. If you can't picture that, you're probably a good cook. But, rest assured, it's a horror show. They could cover the tasteless, mushy mess up with high quality cheddar cheese, but they lack even that dignity saving measure. Their lasagna pizza came up a little better because the thin layers actually hold up (though the top was burned). But the tomato sauce just isn't there on this one either. The rest of the creations seemed equally unique, but I'm not sure if the results were any better. If they were just mad scientist chefs experimenting with cheap pizza slices, their food gone wrong would be excusable. But they're charging almost $4.00 for a small slice. So the experiment might as well be a psychological study in disappointment rather than in pizza. And I am definitely a case study in this waiting almost a year to try it. About the only thing that saved my time here from being a rock bottom experience was that they were playing some skacore overhead. And no place that does that can be truly abominable.

Ugh I really wanted to like this place. I'd read reviews on here a few years ago and it sounded good. On a late night - not drunk - my friend's and I were hungry and I saw that we were in the area for Ian's. The pizza looked really good, especially the BBQ chicken pineapple, and tortellini slices (Even the macaroni and cheese), but I decided to be a little healthy and went for the spinach and feta veggie slice. Nearly $4 or $5 later, I sat down with my friends next to a guy in a panda suit. Ok? Anyway, I'm sad to say the pizza wasn't anything to rave about. Maybe it's because we came late? Oh wait...Ian's kind of is a late-night-go-to. It wasn't exactly hot. I'd give Ian's another try for sure, but if I had my choice, I'd rather get Piece.

My fiance & I order from Dimos a lot & really like their pizza. Last time we ordered from them our pizza came a bit late so the delivery guy gave us coupons for two free slices of pizza & yesterday we decided we would go to the actual store for the first time. This review is only for that experience which in my opinion was awful. When we first came in we were greeted by a nice guy who seemed to be the only one on top of things in there, ordered our slices & were told that they'd have to make a few pizzas but it'd be ready in about 10 minutes & they'd let us know. We waited for a while, only to find out that we have been forgotten about due to a group of girls who had entered. My fiance went up there to find out what had happened to our food only to be ignored when he was trying to pay. He had to literally ask someone if he could pay for his food & then a couple minutes later ask again for the coke he ordered because the guys were too concerned with talking to the girls to give him any attention. It was annoying & took way too long, especially for a Monday night & for two slices of pizza. Definitely won't be coming back in to the restaurant anymore. The pizza was good though.

Their vegan pizzas are THE BOMB. I mean, they are the literal, taste sensation exploding in your mouth BOMB. I have tried ever flavor, my fave is the lasagna and the bbq unchicken. And the customer service rocks, even on a super crowded night they are just the coolest people on earth. One time they had ran out of lasagna noodles and made it for me with macaroni noodles instead. Yum! This place in the city as far as pizza is concerned. It's a "must try" for anyone looking for something special.

Now that its baseball season in Chicago, its time to keep the Ian's tradition strong. You are doing yourself a favor if you get the Chicago Hot Dog or Guacamole Burrito pizza. Philly cheese steak is a close runner up. You can't go too wrong and the staff is awesome and can help you out. Call in advance if you want your pizza to be waiting for you! You can always spot the tourists - they order mac and cheese. Thanks Ians and crew for all that you do! If I ever leave Chicago, I know it will be a tearful goodbye with Ian.

Ah, a flavor adventurer's delight. Awesomely odd pizza by the slice. Macaroni and Cheese pizza, Chicken and Waffles pizza, Mushroom Florentine Pizza. It is the the unusual pizza flavors that reign supreme here. They do have some normal pizzas available, but you could probably get better versions elsewhere. Their specialty is the pizza flavors that you dream about. Hmmm....I want nachos and a pizza. Well, they have nacho pizza. A word of warning, though. You are subject to their flavor whim as to which pizza slices are available when you come in. If you're not sure what something is, they are happy to help you. If you want a specific flavor pizza slice for a craving that just won't quit, I would call ahead and check. They also do vegan pizza, but I again would call ahead just to check if it's available by the slice. They do have a a frequent pizza eater card and I apologize now for the macaroni and cheese pizza dreams/cravings that are yet to come.

Colleen C.

OMG, mac 'n cheese pizza!? OMG, BBQ chicken pineapple pizza!? Well, yeah...but I like, wouldn't know. Since, I called for delivery 5 times over the course of 3 hours tonight, and I got the answering machine all 5 times. I DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE A MESSAGE IAN, I want pizza. At my house. :( It says they deliver, I'll believe it when I can get someone on the phone. SIGH.

I have come to realize the Mid West doesn't know what good pizza really is. I have tried many pizza shops and it's very very hard to find high quality pizza. Thought I would try this place since I read it was similar to NYC type pizza (which is based off of pizza from Naples Italy). No. It's not. I would categorize this type of pizza as American pizza. It is similar in texture to the fast food chains like Papa John's and Sarpino's. I would say it is a grade above the fast food pizza but not like the high quality Naples style pizza from the wood fired brick ovens. It reminds me of Papa Ray's pizza which has a couple shops in Chicago. It is heavy and will leave you feeling very stuffed whereas Naples style is very light and fresh with distinct flavorful ingredients like basil. You can eat half the pie and not feel heavy or like you just clogged your arteries. Service...well I ordered delivery and after 70 minutes I called to ask where was my pizza. They said another 30. I didn't believe it so I took a $20 cab ride round trip to get it. I had to wait another 10 minutes while I was there. There was a game on so the place was busy. The staff was very friendly and gave me free slice coupons for my trouble. They were very busy and I can relate. I just wish they told me it was going to be a 2 hour wait so I would have ordered on a day that was less busy. Taking a cab to pick up a pizza is expensive. The whole ordeal cost me $50 I ordered their large pie and it was huge. The taste was ok. But not what I was expecting. If you want something similar to Papa John's or Papa Ray's but a step above, then Dimo's is great. If you want NYC style pizza then this is not it.

Ian F.

So, after you come here for the first time, you'll just about never want to leave. Verrrry friendly, youthful, and energetic staff. Also the pizza is just great, food-gasms all around!!! Different flavored pizza just about every day and they're generally all good, it just depends on your mood and cravings. Everyone needs to come here and nothing more needs to be said... "the end"
(5)
Liz G.

It wouldn't be a Cubs game with a stop at Dimo's after (of as I still refer to it - Ian's). The name was the only thing that changed, the pizza is still just as good and unique and the staff is still just as fun and helpful. I usually get a slice from the gallery and then my favorite which is smores. If you don't see smores you should probably ask for it, it's that good. They always have daily specials and on Thursdays they have vegan specials. Now i'm not vegan by any means, I just think it's nice that they have the option. You can get a punch card to earn free slices. For the price and variety, Dimo's is the best thing you can eat in Wrigleyville!

Amanda A.

So here's how my night went and why I won't be a Dimo's patron ever again. 1) Delivery guy drops Leninade bottle on my porch. Glass everywhere. He swept up the pieces and offered a credit. Thank you and no worries, everyone has an off night... or in this case a REALLY off night: 2) Pizza time! Womp, both sides of ranch and marinara(or so I thought, see #3) that I ordered were busted open and spilling into the boxes. Ok, that happens, they deliver on bicycles, disappointing but still edible. 3) Ordered a side of marinara and got Frank's red hot sauce. Didn't figure the switch until I took a big bite of it. Quite the awful surprise, especially for a person who doesn't like anything spicy. (Starting to heat up and not because of the hot sauce...) 4) Called GrubHub to complain, they then called and I was notified that I was only going to receive a credit for the Leninade and that I needed to personally speak with someone at Dimo's. Ok, will do. 5) Called Dimo's. Hold music for 10 minutes. UGH. Someone FINALLY answers and informs me that there isn't a manager there that I can speak with. Umm, what? I work in the food industry, how do you not have someone in charge that I can speak with? FUMING. 6) GrubHub gets a hold of someone in charge and lets me know that they still will only reimburse me for $2.25 on a $34 order that was a nightmare from start to finish. Final straw and I'm DONE. Shame on you Dimo's Pizza. Your pizza isn't worth the terrible customer service and lack of response I received tonight. Signed, a former Dimo's fan and patron

I love Dimo's. It is just a short walk from my friend's place in Boystown, and we find ourselves there often late at night. The slices are a bit pricey, but they're usually great. Get a classic like Margherita and you can't go wrong. I have been disappointed with some of their more out-there creations, but I can forgive. The crust is perfectly crispy and doughy. Best flavor I've had--the Elote! Bring it back!

Diane G.

90% of the people giving dimo's 5 stars MUST have been drunk. It's great after 1am and when you're piss ass drunk and just want some sexy carbs to soak up some of that liquor. But even then, the pizza is not all that, lacking in flavor (at least the penne mushroom one was), and really worth slightly less than the $3.75 it cost. If you can survive the train ride or trek to Cheesies for your midnight fix, I'd do it. Apparently mac n' cheese on grilled cheese is better than pizza. Sincerely, tipsy at 2 am

I LOVE Dimos! We drive 40 mins to get this pizza or pick it up every time we go to a Cubs game cause it is so amazing! They are not just trying to be cool with their unusual toppings...it's actually good pizza! I have had the Mac and Cheese which is amazing, Cheesy Potato, Cheese Tortilinni, Lasagna, and one covered in meat and I love them all...their vegan selection is great too...great price too...totally worth giving it a try!

Attention Chicago. This is what a thin crust pizza is supposed to look like and taste like! As a native New Yorker, few things annoy me more than a "thin crust" pizza where the crust is thinner than a cracker, the toppings are buried under the cheese, and the pie is cut into 16 little tiny squares. It's a sacrilege. So I definitely appreciate Dimo's with their large, filling slices and creative toppings. My first selection was a slice of spinach/roasted peppers/tomatoes. The proportions were pretty balanced, with a good amount of veggies and cheese to crust. The veggies tasted very fresh, not overdone, and I liked the crunch of the crust. I do wish the outer crust had been a little thicker, just so I could chew it a little bit more. Also, I tend to like a saucier pizza, but there was just enough where it didn't taste like just a flatbread. My second choice was a slice chicken parmesan pizza. This was tremendous. It had bits of seasoned fried chicken along with a little parsley and parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. I would order this one again. I got a large glass bottle of Coke and I only paid $10. That's pretty much a steal for downtown. Not only that, but the guys behind the counter are very approachable. They explained some of the different slices I had questions about and were even open to hearing my feedback about some different topping ideas like adding an olive oil base option. Definitely a place to check out in Wrigleyville. And I hear I should check out a slice of mac and cheese...

Best vegan pizza around!! It's so hard to pick a favorite, they're all so delicious!! Super fun atmosphere, boxed water (wicked cute), KICK ASS STAFF, and just all around a truly superb business. Go here!! Get a slice of each kind!

One of my favorite late night food stops for some Wrigleyville post-game (not referring to Cubs). Since I'm one of those happy, hungry drunks, Dimo's is a little slice of heaven for me. If the line is not out the door, which it sometimes is on the weekends, I will walk on in and proceed to be overwelmed with amazing pizza options...options that only a drunk or stoned mastermind could ever dream of. Mac-n-cheese, steak and fries, tortellini, chicken parm, chicken n waffles (when I want to expose my ghetto side)....the combinations seem to be endless. I can't tell you how many Dimo's punch cards are laying around my house with only 3 punches in them...I need to remember to bring these things out with me! But don't only consider this a late night stop, Dimo's is BYOB, so be sure to use this as a preparty place for Cubs games, or for a start to your Wrigleyville Friday night. There is a liquor store a block south of this place, so get a bottle of Jameson, and grab yourself the window booth over looking Clark St. It's prime people watching for angry bros fighting, girls crying on sidewalks, and everything else that is great about this neighborhood.

New York style pizza at 3am. I'll take it. I tried the white pizza and buffalo chicken. Both were excellent.

Andrew W.

I love the whole concept of turning one type of food into another, and anything into pizza is definitely near the top of that category. The first time I had something like Dimo's was at Mesa Pizza in Iowa City; for those of you familiar with Mesa, Dimo's doesn't compare, but it's still decent pizza, especially if you're drunk. The crusts are very thin (almost too thin for how much topping and cheese there is. The slices are kinda floppy), but what's on top of them gets pretty creative.

Jason M.

Yes, you are in Chicago. But no, you don't have to get deep dish. There are normal pizzas out there, I know it's hard to believe. Tip: don't settle for the ready-made pizzas at Ian's. WAIT the few extra minutes to get one fresh from the oven -- the snow that you plowed through to get there, the creep on the bus who touched your thigh and smiled, and the old lady you shoved out of the way -- it's all worth it if you get a fresh pizza from Ian's.

PIZZA IN THE MORNING!!! PIZZA IN THE EVENING, PIZZA @ SUPPER TIME...WHEN PIZZA'S ON A BAGEL YOU CAN EAT PIZZA ANYTIME!!!!!! Well Ian's Pizza doesn't come on a bagel but they are open til the wee hours of the morning so could pretty much have their pizza anytime!!! Ian's has turned me into a "PIZZA SLUT." They offer a wide variety of fun toppings get em by the slice or order a whole pie! LOVE LOVE LOVE: *MAC N CHEESE PIZZA *LASAGNA PIZZA *PENNE ALFREDO PIZZA (yea i gotta thing for the pasta pizzas) *BREAKFAST PIZZA (like a breakfast burrito on a slice of pizza) *SMORES PIZZA....ooey gooey pieces of melted marshmallows drizzled with chocolate sauce & topped with ghram cracker crumbs NOM NOM NOM I'm not a huge fan of Chicago Deep Dish pizza (don't hate me Chicagoans) but I do love taking my friends from LA here when they visit b/c Ian's is definitely a must if you're in the Lakeview area. Ooh & they have a punch card too..so buy 10 slices get one free...HOLLER.

Before going to see Improv Shakespeare with friends, I got two slices here - the s'mores pizza and the chicken alfredo. The alfredo pizza was insane - penne pasta, white alfredo sauce, cheese, chicken, and more cheese. It was filling, and very flavorful. The s'mores pizza... OhmyGOD the s'mores pizza.... Cheese, chocolate sauce, marshmallows, graham cracker, chocolate chunks. It was by far the weirdest and most delicious pizza EVER. If you are having doubts, just go with it. It's an unforgettable flavor combination that I just can't stop thinking about. One of my friends ordered the California roll pizza, and it was strange (wasabi, crab, etc) but also interestingly good at the same time. I get that this place isn't for everyone, though - I am sure a lot of people just want to stick with their usual pepperoni or whatever. I hear the Mac & Cheese pizza is good, too. Slices are way affordable. I think my two slices were less than $8 total. Come here with friends and sample their slices!

Patrick W.

I feel like t's taken a few steps backward since changing from Ian's. the last two times I ordered, the wait time was extended by 45 minutes *after*I'd placed my order on Grubhub. When it was Ian's, I could get a pizza delivered on a Saturday night in under 30 minutes. With Dimo's, it takes an hour and a half on a Thursday at 8:30 (with no major sporting events going on). I enjoy the pizza but it's just not worth the wait and I'm not close enough to pick it up. I regret not just walking to Michael's as I usually do for what in my opinion is better pizza at less cost in half the time. I hate writing bad reviews but I'm hoping this will remind me that I've officially learned my lesson.
(2)
Thomas T.

You want crazy pizza? Come to Ian's then. It's a place where they throw a bunch of crap onto a pizza that sounds good but no one will probably ever try. Marshmallows on pizza? Fries on pizza? I'd have to be blacked out drunk to order those. Though most of the time I come here I have been drinking. Their pizza is alright. Nothing special. My last trip there I got the buffalo chicken and the chicken marinara. Buffalo chicken was alright though the amount of chicken compared to the size of the pizza i feel wasn't sufficient enough. The chicken marinara was probably the same deal. Who know's how fresh the pizza is since they have it hiding under the display, but at least when it comes out to you, it's hot. So that's a plus. Coming at night? Be prepared to wait a while since it seems like this is the place to be once the bars let out. They probably are making bank since a slice is like $3.75. I'd suggest throwing in an extra 1.25 and getting one of the 5 dollar deals that they have at some bigger chains if you're not the adventurous type.

Katrina F.

3rd time is a charm, right?! I was emotionally disturbed when Dimo's took over Ian's. The transition left for so-so pizza....WELL NOT ANY MORE!! I am ecstatic to say, Dimo's is WAY better than what Ian's used to be. The ingredients taste more fresh, the pizza crust is back to it's chewy,yet crusty self and the latest, newest flavors are AMAZEBALLS!!! Run, do not walk and get a slice of the Cali this week!!! Goat cheese, avocado, tomato, ground meat (I think it was beef) with micro greens on the top. It was the best slice I have EVER eaten!! My name is Katrina and I have a Dimo's habit. I order 4 slices when I've been drinking, eat 1-2 at night and the rest for breakfast in the morning. I eat it sober. I eat it for lunch. I am an addict.

Maybe if we didn't travel from the other side of the city just for this pizza I would have been more 'wow-ed.' One of our friends had randomly found this place in her travels and insisted we go back. They have a crazy amount of random pizza flavors. I ordered a veggie pizza and bbq chicken pizza. Both were really good, but nothing I would have to go out of my way for. The other four in the group agreed.
(3)
Diana R.

Pizza slut. I've been here sober and have tried a few different toppings on pizza. I usually go with veggier options, have had a breakfast pizza, etc. All very tasty and a fun switch-up from your regular pepperoni thin crust. But I have to say the mac 'n' cheese takes the prize for most delectable specialty slice. Although I am not a fan of macaroni and cheese in its traditional form, I love the slice Dimo's serves up. Sober or not, it's a little slice of heaven to calm your stomach and your senses. The staff is incredibly friendly, even to the late-night drunkards of Wrigleyville, and is always willing and able to answer questions about the different types of pizzas/toppings/etc. Lines can be long when it gets late on weekends, but the lines move quickly and the pizza is worth it.

Mary S.

Wow, what a great pizza place. We stopped in after a cubs game and got 3 slices to share among the two of us. We got Chicken Parmesan, BBQ Chicken and the daily special which was some sort of everything-but-the-kitchen-sink type pizza. They were all excellent. The BBQ was my favorite, and might rank among the best pizza I've ever had. Friendly staff, happy to answer questions to two silly tourist types. It's a little small in there with only a handful of tables, so if it's crowded you might be out of luck for a spot to sit with your amazing pizza, although I would eat it hanging upside down in the street or lying on train tracks without any complaint.

N P.

Oh my god. Been meaning to check out this place for a while, and finally got around to it last week. A friend and I went and ordered the Vegan version of the Steak and Fries Pizza. It was totally delicious, and between us we finished a 12 inch pizza, AND it didn't feel heavy in my stomach afterwards (probably not hers either but I neglected to ask). We decided then that we were going to make this a weekly ritual. Yum yum! One thing to note- vegan pizzas are only available by the slice on Thursdays, every other day you have to order a whole pie, but trust me, you will probably want to order an entire pie unless you just ate beforehand!!!

Christine S.

My review for Ian's has disappeared... so here I go again. I love Ian's. I've never eaten it sober, but I possibly would... Bold statement, I know! Pesto tortellini, marinara tortellini, mac & cheese, Greek (i think), BBFAT are some that i've tried (there's probably more on the list). They are all great and when you're drinking, you seriously can't find a better place to eat then Ian's... Long lines, inexpensive, fast, friendly staff, clean place, great people watching... what more could you ask for? :) This place proves you can put just about anything on a pizza.

This place makes some of the most innovative slices of pizza combinations. I am stuck on the chicken and waffle pizza, though. The staff are all friends and enjoy their job. This place could have a reality-tv show.

Ria F.

This place is good because it's open late of course for the hungry people coming out of the bars. But the Mac and Cheese pizza wasn't great, I expected better. It was dry. Their quesadilla pizza had buffalo chicken in it which didn't make sense to us bc we're from San Diego. Some of my coworkers enjoyed another type of pizza and the BBQ chicken pizza wasn't bad.

When leaving a bar or club after several rounds of drinks, my body always finds its way to food. To me, it's the icing on the cake and the best way to finish a night. Yes, it helps to prevent hangovers in the morning but to me, it's the fourth meal of the day that I have been looking forward to all night. I don't even remember what bar we were in but I found myself walking across the street to Ian's Eatery. I may have heard the cries from my friends saying, "Watch out for cars!" but that wasn't a concern since I saw a new pizzeria that I haven't tried before and continued to mindlessly walk. My friends know that there are few things in this world that come between me and food. I walked in and saw a wide variety of different pizzas with unique toppings; macaroni and cheese, rigatoni pasta, buffalo chicken, and etc. It clicked, Ian's Eatery specializes in specialty pizzas with not your ordinary toppings. I've had my share of creative pizzas from philly cheese steaks to Hawaiian BBQ but I was done with the gimmicks. I settled on a vegetable and goat cheese combination. After taking one bite, I nodded my head to my friends letting them know that I approved. The toppings were fresh and the crust was thin and chewy but still had the crisp from the hot oven. There was the right amount of sauce and cheese ratio for thin crust pizza. I was tempted to get another slice but my friends were already annoyed to sit and watch me eat the first one. Next time, I'll try one of the more creative pizzas. Yes, any food tastes good after drinking but Ian's Eatery offers something that actually tastes quite good. Ian's, see you again at 2:00am after my next outing in Wrigleyville.

This place is awesome! There are so many choices/options - you just want to try/eat them all. It's great tasting during the day, night, OR late night. You need to check it out - particularly if you want an interesting late night community to join for some celebrations of delicious pizza.

Awesome as usual! Check out the special of the month or any of the classics. Best pizza in Wrigley!

Mary T.

It's official; we're done! True to my word I gave Ian's a second shot. I even put my pizza goggles on by having a beer (or 4) this time. I got two more slices this time; mac and cheese and the crab rangoon special. Sadly, the verdict is the same - friendly staff, horribly bland pizza! In theory the mac and cheese pizza sounds great; I love pizza and I love mac and cheese, why not marry the two? What I didn't know was that it's possible to make flavorless mac and cheese, something Ian's seems to have excelled at. I took my first bite and thought it was a fluke that it tasted like nothing. A few more bites in I realized it wasn't a fluke; I attempted to inject some flavor into the slice, but my seasoning attempts were futile. It baffles me that people rave about this; again the only thing I found memorable (in a good way) was the crust. The crab rangoon slice was better in that it had flavor, too bad that flavor was limited to the sweet and sour soaked won ton strips on top. The description said there was crab on the pizza, but all I could taste was sweet and sour and the dense texture of the cream cheese; I got half-way through the slice and tossed it. Bottom line: I came. I ate. I was underwhelmed.

Ian's and I have a near weekly relationship (should I have admitted that...?) On Saturday night, there's only one man in my life, and it's Ian, baby. He knows how to tuck me in just right after a long Wrigley night. Everyone raves about the mac & cheese and yes, it's tasty. But nothing stands up to my all-time favorite Smoky & the Bandit. BBQ and ranch swirled together like they were meant to live happily on a bed of dough, chunks of chicken and bacon hanging out on a mountain of gooey cheese... ok excuse me, I seem to have dribbled a little on the keyboard... My boyfriend Ian puts out a specialty flavor every week and this week just sounds sinfully too good to be true- crab rangoon. Holla!

You can never go wrong at Ian's!!! Amazingly Unique and Delicious Pizza, Fast and Friendly Staff, and always worth the $3.75 a slice!

Dimo's Pizza (several locations) was an excellent neighborhood spot. I visited Chicago from Boston this Thanksgiving with another friend from LA and we all had a hilarious, delicious experience here. The pizzas are incredibly inventive, but while that sometimes spells disaster it truly was all delectable. The joint is incredibly casual and BYOB which I am absolutely not used to going to school in Boston and growing up in the Bay Area. We brought several six packs of Blue Moon, borrowed their Cards Against Humanity deck and stayed for a couple of hours devouring slice after slice and laughing like crazy. Before we headed home the people working behind the counter snapped a picture of us and our food and added it to their Twitter page, a funny aside that only added more charm to this awesome spot! I can't wait to go back next time I'm in Chicago. Cheap, delicious and incredibly fun, Dimo's is certainly a worthwhile visit.

Ian is my dirty mistress. I have never been in there before 3 am. I wander through the door whenever I have an itch that needs scratching (in other words, carbs are required before bed). And whatever I order is whatever my finger points to first. The fact that I was able to recall how much I enjoyed our dalliance (yummy pizza!) the following day speaks volumes. I'm not afraid to flaunt you, Ian. So please don't look at me with those sad eyes. One day, I will visit at a reasonable hour and prove my adoration for ya, baby!

My review is mixed. Going in to Dimo's, I'd give 4 stars. Absolutely delicious when it's piping hot and fresh. However, my husband and I ordered delivery the other night and by the time the pizza got here (over an hour for delivery), it was cold and kind of gross. I actually removed part of a piece because it did not look edible at all. A couple of the pieces we had were the consistency of cardboard. I was pretty disappointed, since my other experiences eating there were so good. We won't order delivery again, though.

This is easily my favorite pizza in Chicago. It is not Chicago style pizza. It is great pizza.

Amanda L.

its our go-to late night option. $5 for a slice and soda, its hard to beat. the slices are thin but huge. the toppings are crazy. i like the potato/ranch/bacon, chicken finger, and steak/french fry the best. they have some ready when you go and can make anything for you. so that's nice. sometimes they are a little dry if you reheat them, but still good.

Emily C.

I always try their weird and crazy slices, and I've never been disappointed. Mac n Cheese Pizza = mouth-watering. I also tried some other flavors - broccoli alfredo with noodles, something with tacos, and something bbq. But I always, always, order the Mac n Cheese Pizza.

I have been on Wriggleyville, past nine o'clock, on the weekends. The sort of men who go out and party in that area are frequently intolerable and I always dread having to leave my home for anything. If I'm out past nine in Wriggleyville, I march on with an acute sense of misanthropy. I am astounded that the Dimo's employees manage to still be polite and treat customers with such friendliness given the sheer amount of typical brofest douchebaggery they must encounter on a nightly basis. I have never had a bad experience at Dimo's. I have never had my order screwed up. I have never had to wait an unreasonable amount of time for my food. I have never once had a cashier be anything other than 100% pleasant. This is rare in any location but when you take into account these people work in Wriggleyville, it's astounding. I don't know how these people do it. They must be saints. Also, the food is awesome. Five stars!

Came to Chicago for a visit and instead of trying the so-called famous Chicago deep dish style pizza, I tried what all my friends ,who are locals to the Midwest, swear by, Ian's. Small little pizza shop with pies served by the slice. These are anything but your typical pepperoni and veggie slices of pizza. From mac n cheese, a staple menu item, to the various creations they baked that day, your taste buds are in for a delicious surprise. Located conveniently in Wrigleyville, perfect for after a game or a night out at one of the various bars. Pizza is like sex, even when bad it's good && Ian's is like triple orgasm sex.

Keith A.

What does one need after a long pub crawl, pizza, especially some ian's pizza. I stopped by here in need of slices and Ian's was the only sure for that. There was a bunch of different slices to choose from and I went with a pepperoni+sausage and bbq chicken. These were big NY style slices for folding and what's not to love about that? They're up the street from my friend's place, so return trips are completely necessary

Mac and cheese is a must have, of course. And they have such great vegetarian options, so try something new! Vegan Tuesdays and Thursdays! BBQ "steak" and fries is my favorite vegan option, though I prefer dairy cheese.

Of course I'm going to give this place a high rating because it's my namesake. Just kidding. This place really is great like most are saying. It's small but not cramped and the tables are big enough for a nice amount of people. The music's loud but not blaring. The staff is nice but not fake. The pizza is of course the main attraction. It's big but not too overwhelming. On your first visit (or any visit for that matter), you must have a specialty slice. I'm sure the traditional toppings are delicious as well, but what's the point of coming here if you're just going to stick to the basics? Live a little! At Ian's, live a lot. This review is after my second visit. I ordered a slice of the classic mac & cheese and a slice of the special, the Oktoberfest (fried pork, egg noodles, and mushroom gravy). Note: two slices are just right for a meal. Both were great in their own ways and with all the other specialty slices, it's definitely an incentive to return again and again to try everything else. Don't forget to bring your favorite beer or wine, a plus that actually works and pairs nicely (though I'm speaking on behalf of the beer side).

If I could give them half a star I would. This place is definitely one that you stop in to get a slice. I order a pizza for delivery and it took 2 hours to get! I called in the order was told 30-45 minutes, which is pretty standard, but when I called after an hour they said it would be another 15 minutes. I called again after it had been an hour and a half after calling it in, I was told the pizza was out for delivery. After 2 hours, I called and asked for a manager, The girl told me they are really busy and the delivery guy had car trouble, so due to me wait she will give me some coupons. COUPONS? My pizza should have been free. Once the delivery guy Finally showed up, I was actually very nice to him, and I asked him about his car. The guy had no idea what I was talking about! He said his car has been fine, no issues. The manager lied, I had to wait 2 hours for an average Za, and had to pay full price. Needless to say, I will be taking my pizza craving business to one of them billion other joints in the area.

Nice, efficient staff. The place made a name for itself for original toppings and it does not disappoint! The Barbecue one with ground-beef and fries is amazing. Only regret is that 95% of their creations involve pork or chicken... They have an original drink selection as well, like boxed water or Mexican Coke (No corn-syrup, all sugar, tastes like I am back to Europe!). Definitely worth a try, whether you are a pizza-lover who wants to try original kinds, or just somebody who wants a quick, affordable bite that will still please your tastebuds (I actually have a friend who does not like pizza and enjoyed his quick dinner there!)

I like variety and dayum, does Ian's have it. I am also a fan of thin crust pizzas and so I went with my brother to give them another shot (first time was with boyfriend). I must say the 2nd round was better, since this time I was more prepared and chose the right pizzas for me. Decided to give the mac and cheese a try, and honestly, it wasn't a big whoop. Yes I would love it if I was drunk, but I wasnt. It needed salt, and that made it way better. Better slices were the philly cheese steak and their special for the day- bowtie pasta with feta cheese, zuchini and green peppers. yum yum. we had read about the smore pizza and since we didnt see it there, we asked for it. they even made it for us from scratch! this was the best one yet... I know it sounds weird but trust me, its worth a try, you definitely wont be disappointed. Gooey and yummy with the right kind of chocolate, melted mallow and graham craker makes this pizza to die for. And so yes, please ask if you wanna try a certain pizza cos they will make it for you. Honestly with all the yumminess going on, i didnt really focus on the decor. Its much like a regular parlour, with a section for the pizza, and some small tables and chairs, a large table and benches in the middle, all wood. They have some cute posters of a robot taking over the city, and trying to get some Ian's pizza.

Ian's pizza: good when you're sober, best thing you've ever eaten EVER when you're drunk. Once the bars have closed, you can definitely expect a long line at Ian's, but that's also how you know it's good. When you place your order, they throw the slices in to be heated up pretty quickly, so the wait is manageable. They're so used to having a ton of people stampede the place at 2:02am that the people working are never completely flustered. Of all the pizzas I've eaten here, the mac and cheese pizza is the winner hands down. And they have sauces in which to dip your pizza if you ask, because if you're like me you just want ranch on everything when you're drunk. One night, I found myself drunk and alone in Wrigleyville at 1am on a Wednesday. Clearly it was a weird night. On my way to the el, I stopped by Ian's which was nearly empty. Looking at the pizzas behind the case, the pizza with steak, barbecue sauce and fries caught my eye. I point at it and say, "I want that one." Guy behind the counter: "How many slices?" Me: "The whole thing." So he throws it in the oven. When it's ready he pulls out each slice and places each on an individual plate in a humongous box . Why?! But I was too drunk to protest. When I got home, I ran upstairs to see my roommate. I tried to walk into her room, and the box literally was wider than the door. It just made zero sense, but I still love Ian's. There is such a thing as Ian's Customer of the Year. I only know of this because a friend's boss's roommate was given this prestigious title in the past. I'm sure you have to go to Ian's almost everyday if you want to be a serious contender. Good luck.

Jelena Z.

Creative, inspired and delicious-- 'tis you, Ian. Ian's and I go way back, though I'm just now writing about our prolific love affair. You see, Ian's is who I go and see when I'm having a bad day. Conversely, I also find myself jonesin' for Ian on a day I'm smiling. Rain or shine, sleet or snow, that trek to Ian's is well worth bumping elbows with Wrigleyville's finest frat boys. My favorite slice is the signature mac 'n' cheese though I've also got love for BBQ chicken pineapple, spicy chicken quesadilla, and the burrito as well as the s'mores dessert slice. Yes, I'm still talking about pizza here! The only drawback is that these slices will run you almost $4 a pop. But, it's some of the best fat food ever!

It's an alright slice of pizza, lot of crazy different toppings to try from, all nicely displayed for you to pick out, heat, and eat. They lose one star for being a pizza place that doesn't simply have a slice of cheese, for the average person that doesn't want an ian's/dimo's crazy slice of pizza. Not a huge fan of their crust either, but my go-to slice is the buffalo chicken/something else. Staff is easy to work with, and there's plenty of seating area. But, the line at this place can get to be pretty long during nighttime hours on Fridays, Saturdays, or during Cubs home games.

Laura C.

Two stars for the variety, but the taste failed to wow me. When I go somewhere and see something I've never had, I always get it. So at Ian's, I tried the scrambled egg pizza. Bland, one-dimensional and disappointing. The server described it as "a little spicy," and that was an understatement. For someone who doesn't really even like ground black pepper, I thought this pizza need some crushed red pepper and hot sauce, both of which are available in the condiment section. I only saw one squeeze tube of hot sauce at another diner's table, so I felt like I couldn't use it. Instead, I opted for the Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, which added a little something something. For $3.75 a slice at Ian's, you're better off with a frozen CPK pizza. One positive note, both people who helped me (the server and the cashier) were super friendly and helpful. I really appreciated the fact that the server went down the line and told me what each pizza was, and she had the patience to wait for my decision. Customer service would bring me back here for another try.

If you want quick, large slices of different varieties of pizza, this is the best! The macaroni and cheese pizza I had should be probably be one of my last meals; I cannot wait to get it again! Excited to try out all of their different pizzas the next time I'm in Wrigleyville!

This place is crazy. If you're looking for "Chicago-style" pizza you should head elsewhere because there is NOTHING normal about Dimo's. List of Dimo's Slices I've Tried (Off the Top of My Head): Macaroni & Cheese Southwest Egg-roll Nacho Penne Alfredo with Sausage (or Chicken) Pulled Pork BBQ S'mores Getting the pattern? If it resembles traditional then it's not a Dimo's pie. The one weakness they have is the crust, which is about a 2-3 out of 5 depending on the day. Normally this would be a 100% deal-breaker as the crust is essential, but the toppings are so unique and interesting that I was always willing to allow it. I made myself sick of the place after about two weeks straight of eating there. If you're a pizza snob and hate fusion concepts then you need to walk right by. However, if you're looking for a food adventure then you can't pass this up.

Pizza is a food I never really crave. I didn't like it growing up, and I tolerate it now. Never have I had a pizza that makes me ever wish to order it again. Ian's was not an exception to that rule; however, it tempted me by not really being pizza at all. I mean, sure, technically, it's pizza, but it's also cheesesteak, and penne alfredo, and ravioli. Those were the toppings we ordered, and I have to say, happily munching away at the cheesesteak pizza was pretty much like happily munching away at an actual cheesesteak sandwich. And I like cheesesteak sandwiches. The penne alfredo was, similarly, much like slurping down an actual bowl of penne alfredo, but without the tiresome issue of how much pasta to try and fit on your fork at once. So, yes, I approve. If I lived around here I'd stop by often just to see what insane thing they chose to throw on top of pizza dough that day. It certainly doesn't hurt that this may have been the best pizza dough I've ever tasted: light, crisp, crackly, yet stood up gamely to the onslaught of alien ingredients.

At the new Dimos on Damen. 5 stars for awesome pizza, interesting flavors & the great crust! I love crispy, not floppy or soggy crust. $1pizza day gets this place 5 stars. Also, can't wait for the taps to get filled!

Angelica S.

This place is a drunken fool's heaven. They make all sorts of pizzas that are not your typical styles. My favorite is the Mac and Cheese pizza. With a little bit of ranch. YUM! It's 2 bucks for a slice, which are quite large too. Can't beat that. The staff is great too. The place can get really packed, but the line moves pretty quickly. Also that gives you time to decide what want, because it can be hard to choose. You may not have a place to sit either during rush hours, but they give paper plates so it's okay. You really need to try this place out.
(5)
Lauriean D.

Ordered delivery. The pizza arrived lukewarm. While they do have a wild variety of toppings, I'm guessing they have to make a lot of everything to keep on hand, not a whole lot is made fresh. And it shows. It's kinda like the Old Country Buffet of pizza. You get a lot, but it's all mediocre.

I am so confused about this place and I plan to not go back in the near future. Last week when my hubby and I went to the Cubs game and had pizza we realized the pizza of the week for the next week was peach cobbler so we decided we wanted to go back and try it. Well we did go back and try it and I wish we hadn't. My husband got the sausage and penne pizza which was really weird and he didn't like it at all, he ended up switching it out for the BBQ steak and fries which as I said before is actually good. I got the Chicken Parmesan which was terrible. The chicken was totally dried out and it was just yucky. When we were waiting for our pizza to get reheated I said to my husband "Wow! This is taking a lot longer than normal." When we got the pizza is was rather overcooked and both of the tops of our mouths were burnt. Lastly, for dessert we got what we came for the peach cobbler pizza. The flavor was flat and didn't really have any cinnamony or sweet notes it was just blah. The homemade biscuits that were promised I certainly didn't even noticed and the problem that I had with the last dessert pizza which was only the bottom half of the pizza (aka probably about 1/3 of the actual slice since it's a triangle) is pizza the top is just cooked dough. The worst part however is there was actual cheese on the pizza. WTF, this was the most disgusting thing I've ever tried, wow in the world would you put cooked cheese on a dessert? In summary, go and try the mac & Cheese or BBQ steak and fries but do not under ANY circumstances try any of the odd flavors.

Kristina M.

I don't understand this place. I came in here a couple times throughout the years, but sadly, every time that I have gone in, it has never been as good as the first time. The service has gone downhill, and has become more rude. What I also don't understand that when they changed over from Ian's to Dimo's, is why they kept the same menu? If they didn't want to be Ian's anymore/go in a different direction, you should probably change something other then the name. Sorry.

Don J.

This is the best pizza I have tasted in Chicago. Ians is about 4 miles away from where I live and I don't go there as much as I would like. Any time I do go, I tear the pizza apart and generally make an idiot of myself as I keep on jumping up to order more slices and act like a 5 year old. My company recently ordered six 20 inch pizzas for 20 of us to eat before we went drinking. All pizzas were finished in 10 minutes and we all wanted more. The pepperoni is my favourite but my friends say that the mac and cheese is even better. I tried the Spicy Chicken Taco on Monday and I really liked it and I wanted to try the El Mexicano but my co-workers had it all eaten before I had the chance. While I like deep dish pizza, the best pizza in Chicago is at Ian's.

Drew B.

Ian's originated in Wisconsin and I used to get it all the time; I moved to Chicago and really missed it. You can only imagine my excitement when I ran into this one... steps away from my house! Unique pizzas like mac n cheese, mexican fiesta and bbq chicken will keep you coming back, plus the fact that the slices are cheap and as big as your face.

Amanda M.

SO, apparently, my reviews are soooo good they need to be filtered. Whatevs...Ian's is FREAKING AMAZING and nothing can stop me from telling you so. Here's my update: my little guy turned one last week, and what better way to celebrate than with a cake and Ian's pizza party? So, I called up to order eight whole 20" pizzas (2 buffalo blue chicken, 2 spinach feta pesto, 2 philly cheesesteak, 1 cheese, 1 sausage and pepperoni= ALL AMAZEBALLS!!!), and they had them delivered piping hot about about 30 minutes later. This obviously supports my other review, and reinforces my claims about their amazing customer service. I don't care, YELP, filter this, too. I'll continue to spread the word about Ian's how I have since day one: good ol'word of mouth (and by serving it at my parties so I can convert people instantaneously and right before my very own eyes). WE LOVE YOU, IAN'S!!!

Alexa H.

We ordered from here because we'd heard about the ridiculous mac'n'cheese pizza. But I'm a Jersey girl and I do not put that kinda crap on my pizza. So we ordered spinach feta pesto, a white pizza and to my surprise, a pie cut, NY style pizza. Truly! I have eaten many supposed NY style pizzas in this lovely city. Few have lived up to my expectations. But Ian's (now called Dimo's) impressed me. Do I wish there was a pie size in between 12 inches and 20 inches? Yes. Do I wish I could avoid the shouting, Wrigleyville morons that inhabit this place? That, too. Still, I'll go get pizza to-go when I need that NY style fix. And maybe I'll let someone convince me to try the mac'n'cheese.

Blaise S.

Living in Madison, WI for a few years, where Ian's first started, you can imagine my complete giddyness when I discovered they crossed the border and opened shop in Chicago, near my beloved Cubbies as a bonus! If you can't imagine my giddyness, then you have just never bothered to stop in for a slice. And for that, shame on you! I stop here every time I'm in Wrigleyville - it's well worth it. Mac 'N Cheese is hands-down their best type, and I'm a big fan of the Smokey Bandit. I tried the Wake Up Special (breakfast sausage, french toast and maple syrup) and Papa Bandit last time, and they were both tasty. It's also BYOB, and the staff is friendly which is great in case you come during after-hours with all the drunks looking for munchies.

nice small typical pizza joint with friendly staff and good service... had the BBQ steak and fries.. it looked better then what it tasted but it wasn't bad.. in my opinion it would of been better if it didn't have the BBQ sauce on it.. also had the BBQ chicken with bacon and ranch (i think that's what it was) .. it was good! it was sweet and flavorful.. i would recommend this! they have a lot of creative toppings on their pizza and that's what separate it from other pizza joints.. i am looking forward to come back and try out their other crazy topping pizza!

Jules H.

Hmmm...my neighbors rave about this place, so last night I went in on a delivery order with them. It really was not my cup of tea as far as pizza's go. I like very thin crust pizza. They make a very doughy pizza and then put things like tortellini and mac n cheese on it. Total stoner pizza, that 14 year old boys might create. If you like a doughy pizza crust, then more starchy things plopped on it, put down that bong and call these people!

Prashant K.

Use to be a one time great place. With good pizza and good customer service. Now it just sukks. Half the ingredients arent available, won't accept Amex and worst of all delivery takes over 90 mins most of the time. This isn't a knee jerk review. I have loved and ordered pizza many times from them but I just can't take the lack of accountability and shabby customer service. Step up or lose the business.
(2)
Allan M.

For not trying everything on their menu yet(particularly dessert pizzas and salads), this has been solid the several times I've eaten here. My fav so far has actually been the barbeque steak and fries pizza. They have a lasagna marinara(?) that was decent, and the macaroni and cheese was also good(though IMO, it was slightly overhyped). And of course, love how chewy their pizza crust is, and I hope that never changes! Other than my wish that they'd open earlier on weekdays(heck, even a 2 to 3pm opening time, instead of 5pm, would be fine for me), this place continues to not disappoint every time I come here. Finally, don't forget to ask for a punch card, you get punches each time you get a specialty pizza slice($3.75), and a free slice after 10 punches.
(4)
Kit A.

I don't think the word love can come close to describing how I feel about Ian's. This is hand's down the BEST pizza joint. Don't come here looking for deep dish or Chicago style pizza. This is where you get the most bad-ass pizza around. Of course my favorite (like everyone's) is the Mac'n'Cheese, but there are so many unique kinds you just have to try them all. Last wknd I was fortunate enough to run into some drunk guys who bought my girl friend and I 1 slice of every kind of pizza there was (resulting in close to 15 slices). Needless to say, i was not disappointed with a single slice! Yes, there will be downfalls (like the pesto tortellini), but just getting to try the ever changing rotation makes up for it. Regardless if you like pizza or not, you have to try this place AT LEAST 3 times to get the real sense of why this place is so awesome. I can guarantee you won't find another place to try s'mores pizza, butternut squash soup pizza or steak and fries pizza. Two thumbs up!

This is great NY style pizza. They capture the best of it, and always make it represent the Northeast well.

Jennifer S.

Pizza as big as your head (or, you know, just really, really big slices), and a ton of flavors/toppings (both unique and traditional) available. If you like NY Style pizza, you'll love this place. Great crust (you can fold it, a prereq. for NY style), great sauce, just all around yummy. One slice will usually fill me up, and at under $5 that's a good deal! Fair warning: not as great cold as it is hot.

Alan K.

This place is extremely popular with the locals. It is conveniently adjacent to Wrigleyfield and also Boystown. :) The pizza here is delicious. So, you pick the slices that you want and they put it in the oven to reheat. They have some interesting varieties of pizza including some kind of tortilla topped pizza and a philly cheesesteak pizza. I had a philly cheesesteak pizza and it was delicious. This place is BYOB (Bring your own beer). It was quite evident that people brought their own beer. When popular songs would play in the restaurant, people would start singing to it. I think this place has a great vibe. Sitting space is scarce though.

Andy M.

Grub a Grub, Grub. Ian's is the best pizza that I have had in a long time. The structure is more like New York pizza. The slices have a thinner crust than most Chicago pizza and they make is with little to no tomato sauce. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken pizza. It was delicious. The Chicken had a spicy tang to it and the cheese was mouthwatering. Ian's has a BYOB policy and there is a liquor store about a block away. It was a wonderful Friday night. There is nothing like kicking back with a good Pie and a few Brews to get the weekend started right. I really enjoyed my experience at Ian's and I can't wait to go back.
(5)
Leslie G.

I would actually give Ian's 3 1/2 stars if possible, and that rating might go higher if I come here again. For my first visit, I had two slices: portabello mushroom and tortellini. I loved the crust on both slices, but the portabello slice was sort of bland for whatever reason. The tortellini slice was amazing, however. Great combination of ingredients. I'd definitely like to return to try some of their other creations. I can't think of another place where so many different kinds of unique pizzas are available.

Dude, there's a taco on your pizza. Dude, there's tortellini on your pizza. Dude, there's macaroni and cheese on your pizza. Dude, enough already...OK. Ian's is great on numerous levels. To start, their location. Right around the corner from Wrigley field. So maybe you're in the area to bar hop or to catch a ball game. Both are obvious reasons why Ian's would be a good choice. They're also BYOB. So again, great way to pregame before a ball game while getting some satisfying pizza. Now, the pizza. They've always got an array of pizzas ready to be consumed. The crust on their pizza can rival some of Chicago's best. Their toppings are hilarious and genius. Ian's offers imaginative pizza in an awesome location. Next time your in the area, it's defiantly worth a go.

The pizza here is definitely unique and delicious!! I couldn't believe I fell in love with their mac and cheese pizza (I refused to eat mac and cheese after I nearly threw up from eating Easy Mac in college....ever since, just the thought of it would leave me with a queasy feeling in my stomach). Anyways, fast forward to the Yelp Elite party last week. One bite of that pizza and I was amazed. It was so good! I wanted to have my husband try it and order a pizza the next night. We ordered the pizza a couple of nights later along with their Portabella Mushroom Basil Chicken Parmesean. It was delicious....fresh ingredients and tender juicy pieces of chicken. If you like portabella mushrooms, you'll love this pizza....tons of pieces scattered throughout the huge 20' pizza! I'm looking forward to trying the rest of the pizzas!

Here fatty, fatty,fatty! Come and get it. I hear that taunt in my head when I pass Ian's and smell the pizza aromas wafting through the air. I do my best to eat healthy fare for lunch but I worked around the corner from Ian's so it was hard. Finally, it became too much to ignore and I gave in to Ian's call. Of course, I ordered the much hyped Mac and Cheese pizza. I would use expletives to say how much I enjoyed it, but I'll keep it classy and just say it was beyond good and worth the hype. Lunch at Ian's was probably 90% of my daily caloric intake, but Ill be back to do it all over again and relish in my giant cheesy pizza tummy!

This is definitley my late night eatery of choice. There is usually a line but it always moves fast, lots of energy, I've seen a rap off and some other fabulous entertainment here. There are so many choices, be forwarned the mexican pizza is super spicy, my go to favorite is the BBQ chicken. Pieces are large, but lets be honest I always get two haha !! If your unfortunate enough to be partying it up in wriggly this is a must do, but I often make the late night cab trip from where ever I am !!!

Ian's is everything you could want in a pizza place. Location, flavor and just flat out delicious pizza. Lots of cool, weird, normal, fun choices. Affordable as well. We always try to park (handicap pass) right outside Ian's for Cubs games and rock a couple slices before first pitch. Great stuff!

The food is usually great. The last time I went they burnt my pizza - and my bill was over $45 but they only gave me 2 "get a slice free" cards - not exactly a fair trade. And the last few times I've called for pick-up they've placed me on hold for over 10 minutes, and when I called back after hanging up they thought I was someone else and took my order right away - customer service could be a little better/consistent. It won't stop be necessarily from going back - when the pizza is good IT IS GOOD!

Sorry. Don't get the big deal about this place. I went for the vegan pizza (which they only serve by the slice on Thursdays--other days you have to buy a whole pizza) with my bf. I had one slice each of the veggie Buffalo Chicken and the veggie Sausage and the boyfriend had the Chicken Alfredo and BBQ Chicken. The atmosphere (well okay maybe the table sets) reminded me of a high school cafeteria---they have these big 4 blocks of tables meant for seating 5-10 people at a time, like in school. Maybe its just me---I wasn't a fan. The food wasn't any better. UGH! They should not even sell this stuff to represent vegan pizza---it was FLAVORLESS---even after I added hot sauce and oregano! My bf said that the BBQ chicken was just a mess slathered in crappy BBQ sauce, and that even though the Chicken Alfredo was good, it wasn't worth coming back for. I thought this was really BAD---especially for a place whose only entree is PIZZA!!! We ordered 4 slices, two lemonades, and a brownie (which my bf also thought was not worth the waste of chocolate--he took one bite and tossed it!) for $21.50 total at $3.50 a slice---so NOT worth it! Will NOT be back. As in, even if the rapture came tomorrow and I'm filthy stinking drunk awaiting my last fall from grace and I'm offered one last meal before tossed into the fiery pit from Ian's---I'd pass and gladly starve.

Amazing! Not only a stoner's dream but they put the delicious things on a pizza and make it look and taste amazing! Their macaroni and cheese pizza was awesome. The guy serving the pizza was the best pizza salesmen ever. Great personality and great service. I want to go back right now!

When my hubby asked me if I wanted to split a piece of pizza I should have said no. I had just consumed a hot dog and a soft pretzel at Wrigley Field during the Billy Joel/Elton John concert (awesome by the way). But then I realized it would be silly for me to turn down half a slice of pizza from the one and only Ian's. And so I obliged... It was a tough choice. Steak burrito pizza? mmm. Mac n cheese pizza? mmm mmm. Chicken penne pizza? mmm mmm mmm. But hubby wanted a piece of mushroom/pepperoni. Boring! I thought about getting my own slice, but then I remembered that it's not fun when your jeans don't fit and agreed I'd be happy with the mushroom/pepperoni. Am I good wife or what? It may sound boring, but it was the best half slice piece of pizza I've had in a long time...and I seem to be consuming a lot of pizza these days! And if the mushroom/pepperoni is this good imagine how good that mac n cheese pizza will be? Well done Ian. I would consider going up a size in jeans for you...

we've gotten delivery from this place twice off grubhub and both times have been great. we get their vegan pizzas and they're super good; their crust alone makes me a fan. we particularly like the florentine pizza and have gotten it both times. we've also tried the buffalo chicken and spicy chicken taco pizzas, which are also both good but could do with a little more cheese and a little less fake meat.

One of my favorite pizza places back home serves similar pizza so I was excited to find a place in Chicago that served funky pizza. I never heard of Dimo's until the CM Punk Best in the World premiere when CM Punk ordered Dimo's pizza for hundreds of fans waiting to see the premiere of his dvd. It was delicious and I knew I had to go back for more. I've had Dimos since then on two separate occasions, only because going to Wrigleyville can sometimes be a pain. I love Dimos, for 5 bucks you get a huge (not Bacci's huge, but still big) slice with a pop and it's a gourmet pizza. You can take it to go, or sit in and talk to your friends about how delicious it is without anyone bothering you. The only set back is that there's no cards or menu telling you what is what and what is on what and I'll be disappointed when a slice looks delicious but it has something I'm allergic to on it so it would be nice if there were some ingredients listed, but that's just me I guess. Plus, I feel bad asking when I'm sure the employees probably repeat it time and time again. Anyways, I love it and according to their FB they are opening a new location in Spring down in Wicker Park, much closer to me so I will be there raving about how delicious they are, so much more. Oh and I should mention I've never had it delivered, I normally go there and just order by the slice so I'm not sure if they deliver various slices or if you have to have just one type of pizza delivered, but I'm sure another review will answer that. PS: Their special menu changes weekly!

In the heart of Wrigleyville lies the famous Dimo's Pizza (Formerly Ian's Pizza). It's a different name but same product and staff. I give credit to anyone who is in the service industry in Wrigleyville. Think about the crowd they get. Hungry, drunk people. The fact that they can deliver a pizza 2 miles away in an hour with a jam packed clark street and store full of customers is amazing, considering they do it with a positive attitude. I have never visited Dimo's and had a bad experience with the staff or the food.

People keep calling this a pizza place, but it really isn't. Believe me when I say that I've debated the philosophical definition of pizza passionately enough that I'm no stranger on the subject. Does it matter? No, the food is delicious. So, why isn't this a pizza place? What you order looks like pizza. It comes in pizza slice shapes. It has a pizza crust. It's made much like a pizza. You may even see a guy spinning dough on his hands just like a pizza would be. However, the creations here are more different foods served on pizza backing, and I'm in love with the heart and soul it all. The dough and the crust are absolutely fantastic. They're so good that IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO ONLY MAKE PIZZA ON THEM. I'm now convinced that just about any food could be made better if the engineers at Ian's were given a crack at it. I've had the Mac & Cheese, a Philly Cheesesteak, and Smokey The Bandit (chicken, barbecue sauce, cheddar, and ranch). Yes, yes, the Mac & Cheese is what they're famous for, but the winner was definitely Smokey The Bandit. It was an explosion of awesome flavors layered on top of their perfect crust. It was like eating some really awesome sandwich with a tanginess and sweetness and cheesiness all wrapped up nicely. When I go back, I will try other pieces, but I'm going back for Smokey.

This is a go to place to cure a hangover. If you want a unique slice...check this place out.

Its creative all right. Its super fun and exciting. Its open late... BUT its in Wrigleyville! Its not that I don't like Wrigleyville - well, I don't, but I have no issue with it as I am never in the area, but now that I ate at Ian's, I am torn. The ideal time for me getting a slice of pizza is later in the evening when I am coming home and need a bite to eat. BUT its the same time that the place is filled with drunk obnoxious people, people that I want to avoid as much as possible and which I ignore after gazing upon Ian's pizzas. Oh, the sights. So many versions to try... so little time. I've had the mac and cheese slice. YUM. I will have it again, but I don't think its as good as everyone says. Its good, but I had my expectations up really high after I heard so much about it. Just yesterday, I had the black bean and guacamole version. Now that is what I call a pizza slice. The black beans gave it a unique taste and the guacamole left my mouth feeling smooth, as if soft cream coated my tongue. Come here earlier, before people get drunk. Its a fun place. If you must go late and have little tolerance for drunk people, send your friend to grab a takeout and enjoy the pizza in a calmer environment.

I have been an avid fan of Dimos for about two and half years. The staff is amazing and the pizza can simply not be beat. Just choosing which slice you want is fun since they are constantly coming up with new concoctions. When I found out the Chicken & Waffles pizza was permanently going to be on the menu, I practically hopped over the counter to give every worker a hug in praise and thanks - would HIGHLY recommend this slice. Can't wait to try their turkey and green bean casserole pizza for the holidays!

Luke S.

I love Ian's and I feel that they have some of the most creative pizza's around. My one disappointment always comes when I select my slice and the pizza barista always selects the smallest slice left of that pie. It bothers me that I am paying $3.50 for the "little brother" slice. Now I have been here both sober and after much consumption, but I rarely get the massive piece that is always making love to your sweet eyes. Also beware that you will encounter a large amount of obnoxious drunks if you go later in the evening.

The macaroni and cheese pizza is good, but it is nothing compared to the breakfast pizza. Eggs, cheese, bacon, tomato, and onion all on a pizza?!?! Whaaaat?!? It sounds weird but it is so so so so good!

Damn you Ian's! There you are, every weekend without fail. Calling me. Beckoning me. Mocking me. Eaaaaaattt meeee! I cannot resist your luscious mac & cheese pizza. Your strange but exhilarating fajita creation. Your fries and BBQ sauce pie. And now even S'more style? Why do you do this to me and why is my alcohol-induced person so incapable of resistance!? It's Friday. See you at 3 a.m.

Nick M.

Absolutely fantastic REAL pizza. Being from NY I have been trying hard to find edible pizza in Chi and Ian's is 100% the best "NY-style" (real) pizza in Chicago. I'd say a far and away second place is Pronto Za and third place is Cafe Luigi's. Last place is Bacci, which is so disgusting I walked out laughing. But back to Ian's - thin crispy crust with nice texture - tastes like pizza dough and not like bread (unlike many other pizza establishments in the city). Just the right greasiness-level and so many different unique topping combos to choose from! They have slices ready for you to-go that are always fresh because Ian's is always busy. It is truly a shame that because of it's location Ian's gets unfairly labeled by many locals as solely "drunk food", when in fact it offers so much more than just that. My favorite slices are the feta/chopped tomato/spinach and the penne/chicken pesto. Pretty excited to try them all. I'm very happy i found Ian's - I've already been here many times and will continue to frequent when I am in the Wrigleyville area. Ian's is the closest Chicago gets to NY pizza. Awesome! Go eat it now.

Now called Dimos pizza. It is a very good place in the whole wrigleyville neighborhood. I really like the selection of pizzas that they give. I had the BBQ ranch chicken and it was great! They have many different pizzas to chose your slice from( a fact I love). Staff is friendly and place is set up very nicely with communal seating. Definitely worth checking out!

Carlos A.

Awesome place to come grab a slice of pizza. In a point and pick fashion on a set of stellar pizzas you cant go wrong, even when you don't know what's in the pizza you just pointed at. After a night of drinking with some buddies, you have to stop here before making your way home. Grab a slice, you won't be disappointed.

Brent K.

I give this place an A for effort and creativty. The big story is me and my wife went there about 9 months ago. We ordered our usual then sat down. Two mins. later my wife spits out a fucking screw from her mouth. The guy gave us our pizza for free and another couple slices for next time. I can't make this story up. Advise: watch out for big screws in your pizza.

Adam M.

Ians is by far the #1 drunk food I have ever eaten! You like fries? Throw them on a pizza. You like s'mores? Throw them on a pizza, You like pasta? Throw some on a pizza. You get the idea. This place has so many crazy toppings but a MUST try is the Mac and Cheese Pizza. You will not be disappointed with this late night treat.

Victoria V.

If you can dream it, you can do it. That should be Ian's motto. Because any food you can think of --- yeah, they're gonna put it on some pizza crust. Some DELICIOUS pizza crust I might add. My only regret is that I didn't try the famous mac and cheese pizza. Next time.... next time. Yuuuuuuum! Get the ranch! Please dear lord, get the home made ranch. $3.50 for all slices and FREE RANCH? WHO ARE YOU! Great service, friendly staff. OBSESSED. Will be frequenting. Alfredo mushroom pizza?! Yes please. I had a slice. I also had a cheesey potato slice which wasn't as fun but still pretty good.

When I'm back home on the East Coast, I always plan a visit to Peace a Pizza, which has inventive flavor combinations and beautifully fresh ingredients. After living on the Lakeview/LP border for 2 years, I was starting to think that there was no comparable joint here. Who knew that Wrigleyville, of all places, would hold the key? After a night at Barleycorn (don't ask), my sister decided she was in dire need of sustenance, and her friend recommended Ian's. I figured that we were going to a Bacci-esque place, but I was very pleasantly surprised to find a diverse assortment of pies and remarkably quick and friendly service, especially considering the hordes of drunkies at 2 am. My lips are still burning from the two Spicy Beef Taco slices that I inhaled, and I don't even mind. The next time I'm in the mood for pizza that's creative and loaded with flavor, I know exactly where I'll go.

Samra M.

Macaroni and cheese pizza !!! =] That just caught my eye and I had to have it so I did. I made my purchase and it was worth waiting 10 minutes for a whole one. =] Thank you Ians, I'll be coming back for more creative pizzas especially since lent is over!

Ashley A.

So many pizza flavors! Haven't tried the mac n cheese one yet, but plan on it. I was pretty happy with all the pizza I've tried here, some were much better than others, of course. There is even a smores pizza; not sure if I would ever try that. Only things I didn't like about this place is the line is sometimes reeeally long (late at night) & the pricing could be a little more affordable ($7 for two slices, I think). You do get a pretty large slice, though. The location is also very convenient; right by all the bars in Wrigleyville, so this is a great spot to go to after a night of drinking (and they're open pretty late).

Scott B.

Mac n Cheese pizza slices. Really? Honesty, I did NOT think that this would be good, but I had to order it because a handful of stoned vegans last night insisted that this is what Ian's is known for. Here is what I ordered (eyes bigger than appetite): Mac n Cheese Cheese a barbecue beef and french fries concoction Chicken Parmesan Philly Beef All were good, but the Mac n Cheese and the barbecue beef / fries concoction were, by far, the best. Actually, I would come back to Ian's specifically for these two slices. They really were that good! Friendly, and very helpful counter service, but the prices are a tad steep. *Thursday is vegan night, so the selection is obviously geared towards the likes of hipster stoners. Ugghhh! Will I return. Most definitely, just not on a Thursday night!

Lisabeth M.

One of my favorite pizza places in Chicago. Tons of specialty choices but they also have the old standbys if you desire those. And it's BYOB, what more can you ask for? Fresh Mozzarella Tomato Basil = yum Spicy Beef Taco = yum Just last night I had the fish taco pizza = very yum Mac n Cheese pizza (really the reason I started coming here) = yum yum yum And for dessert, try the Smores pizza So glad I live in Lakeview so Ian's is easier to get to.

I am going to preface this with the fact that I am a former employee, and I am totally biased that this place is best... If you continue reading I'll give a little insight into the cool stuff that you normally don't see, either because you were partying too hard or that you were too focused on all the cool slices. This place is bomb because the people who work there genuinely enjoy going to work. The staff is part hipster, somewhat up to date on sports happenings, and at night times they are grooving to salsa and merengue. Despite such a wide variety of interests among the staff, they all participate in making the end experience the best for their customers and community. At any given time this place is hosting a meetup for the Vegan Chicago community, participating in a food donation at a local shelter, or passing out Pizza Slut/Pimp stickers for Halsted days. I will talk more about the staff and the experience soon, but I want to review the food. Hands down the best pizza in the Chi. My top 5 favorites slice are listed in this order: 1) Philly Cheesesteak 2) Spicy Chicken Taco 3) Spinach Feta Pesto 4) Buffalo Chicken Bleu Cheese 5) El Mexicano The staff goes a really good job of monitoring the slices. If one starts looking anything less than fresh, you can be sure that they are going to make sure it is thrown out. Not only is the pizza fresh, but it gets to you fast. The staff is instinctually ready for big crowds to come in at any time, and they have to move quick. Good for you and I, because that means we are getting our pizza faster. Don't worry if you are slightly too messed up to remember what you ordered or who you ordered from. They know exactly who you are and what you ordered, and they will get your attention. I like that they will make you any pizza at anytime, even if you only want a single slice. If they don't have something you want, just ask, and it will be ready in less than 10 minutes. Not bad timing considering the pizza has to be made, cooked, cut and served. However, if it is bar time, this might be a little more difficult. They most likely have plenty of good options instead and you can ask them for a recommendation. The food is good, the staff is the best, and the prices are pretty damn good. We should all be grateful for Ian's because it is the only unique food experience in Wrigleyville, and best of all you can get it as late in the night as you want. Honestly, you're other options are late night T-bell, McD's, or even worse Bacci. Please don't go there unless you are an inch away from dying of starvation. Honestly, you will thank me later for that recommendation. Much love to the Yelpers who give this place the rating it deserves.

Jack F.

How can you not love Dimo's? I live right around the corner and probably come here a bit too much. Has a unique selection of pizza and is open late for us kids. My only suggestion would be to offer a greater supply of vegan options more frequently (only offered T & Th i'm pretty sure, and when I go on these days there is usually low supply and/or a longer wait than the regular slices)
(4)
Kelly C.

Disclaimer: I have only been to Ian's after consuming a bit of liquor so I cannot comment on how the pizza is if you are sober. Mac & Cheese pizza...I'm not sure why this concept was not thought of sooner but it is amazing! I have had other ones and they are decent but go for the mac & cheese and you won't be disappointed. I tried the twice baked potato one (or something like that)...it was weird. The BBQ pizza is pretty good. Yes there will be line when you go but it moves fast and there is more than enough entertainment from the drunk people to make the wait go by quickly. Bottom line if you are in need of food and in the area stop by Ians. It might possibly make your hangover in the morning not as bad!
(4)
Ross B.

Don't come here looking for regular old cheese or pepperoni. This place has unique combinations of food on pizza that you'd never think of, and every time it's amazing. Walk in and try a slice of whatever they've got baked and I'm sure you'll like it. I've recently become a fan of the BBQ pulled pork with sweet South Carolina BBQ sauce and cheese and French fried onions on top. So tasty... They have a macaroni pizza for the timid...

Oh. My. God. Mac & cheese pizza by the slice. What could be better than that!? (Maybe by adding bacon...?) But let's not change what's already pretty damn near perfect. Big, floppy, slightly chewy NY style slices topped with cheesy macaroni ...for $3.75. Delicious! There I said it. I had doubts with Ian's being in the heart of "boyfriend-land" ...that's alright I'll let that one slide. I'll just try to go during the off times to avoid the backward baseball caps & DUDE! MAC & CHEESE PIZZA!! exclamations.
(5)
Karen C.

Eh. I'm not overly impressed. Yeah, I get it... they have fancy-schmancy weird pizza toppings. Awesome. But when I'm heading home from the bar, I want more bang for my buck. I had the tortellini pizza... basically I wanted anything that was sans-meat, and this was all that was available at the time. It was ok, but for $4, it should have been bigger, and it should have come with free soda. And it was then that I realized I wasn't at Bacci, and I was upset about that. After we ate our pizza, 3 of the group of 5 i was with agreed that A) we should have gone to Bacci, and B) maybe we should STILL go to Bacci, even after eating Ians. Overall, it was decent... but nothing to write home about.

Sheila X.

I love pizza. I can't deny it. So when we're done drinking in Wrigleyville and hunger strikes, I am secretly happy there is only one place to turn to.... Ian's! They always have new toppings and combinations, so don't go in there with your heart set on a specific one.... But luckily, they always have something interesting and tempting... and if not... there is always good old cheese to fall back on.... (ugh, so vanilla... lol) Some of my faves are bbq chicken pizza, bbq chicken with bacon n ranch and chicken taco but there are so many more to choose from. They are open super late, and have plenty of seating for everyone to quickly sit and devour their pizza!

Nancy H.

Really, 4.5 stars for this place? I don't think so. Just decent thin pizza for $2.75 or $3.75 a slice. Slices are average sized for NY style. One slice is a good sized snack, 2 slices would leave me content but would want to go out and get ice cream afterwards, and 3 slices would be great right before a nap. I was extremely disappointed in the mac & cheese pizza, especially since everyone on Yelp raves about it! It tasted like plain pasta and dough (the pizza crust). Saw the cheese but didn't taste any of it. I was expecting gooeyness but got what looked like if you threw a bowl of cooked elbows and shredded cheese together in a microwave - dry and plastic-y. However, the spinach and feta pizza had really good flavor, and the feta was actually soft and crumbled easily. The other combinations (i.e., black bean burrito, sausage, pepperoni, etc) looked like winners too. I just wouldn't recommend the mac & cheese one. They sell pizza by the slice at the counter, and you can take it on a paper plate to a table to eat. Yes, the people behind the counter are nice, but who cares about service at a place that you spend 10 minutes to eat at? Not really worth a trip here unless you're in the area.

I enjoyed the salesmanship and the adventurous spirit of some of the pizzas, but they didn't all hit the mark. We stopped in to grab a slice or two before heading into the Cubs game on Memorial Day, and I think we made the right decision. Good, foldable slices - they do the standard pizzeria by the slice thing of having several pizzas prepped and sitting out on the counter, and then when you order, they grab a slice and send it back into the oven to reheat. This does have the advantage of making the crust crisper (most of the time). We got several different slices - a mac & cheese slice, a chicken taco slice, a standard sausage and 'roni slice, and a slice of what they were calling "General Fukudome's Chicken" in a nod to the linchpin business of the neighborhood. Honestly, the mac & cheese pizza was my least favorite - it's just a carb overload. I love mac & cheese, and I love pizza, but this combo just didn't do it for me. The chicken taco slice was actually pretty good, as was the "General Fukudome's Chicken" which was not even really a General Tso's knockoff, but rather more a teriyaki chicken and broccoli pizza. The staff were really nice and helpful in picking out slices; in fact, I'd say the guy working the counter was something of a salesman - he had a really good patter and rhythm going in describing the varieties of pizza that they had. All in all, I'll be back to try some more slices.

Damian C.

I pounded down a huge slice of thin crust mac n' cheese pizza last night at about 3:30AM... and ya know what? It was DAMN GOOD. And unlike most Wrigleyville late night food options, I'd probably be up for eating this sober, also.

Jasmine J.

I don't really enjoy bar-hopping in Wrigley on the weekend, but if I do find myself in the area I have to grab a slice or two from Dimo's. Vegetarians, vegans or pescetarians have plenty of options to choose from. Try something out of your comfort zone. It'll probably be pretty tasty. Even my pickiest friend loves Dimo's.

Welcome everyone to the pizza I had in college in 1993... yelp.com/biz/antonios-amâ€¦ Went looking for Matsuya which has since closed and found this gem... I've been waiting for a pizza place like this in Chicago... True college town NYC style pizza. I saw they had some unique pizza toppings so I arrogantly walked in and asked for my pesto tortellini slice expecting a "what's that?". The girl behind the counter said the tortellini pesto pizza was in the oven and I'd have to wait 5 minutes... My jaw dropped. NO ONE HAS EVAR HAD TORTELLINI PESTO PIZZA IN CHICAGO - EVAR. The pizza is legit. Ive filled the loyalty punch cards many many times and I live nowhere near Dimo's. If they delivered to where I lived, I'd eat nothing else. One time they had this sweet sausage pizza with some random sauce and it was spectacular. I will support this place until they mess it up. Please let me explain... Every NY style pizza place I like in Chicago manages to mess some aspect of their pizza up over time so I have _very low expectations_. Drunk, frat, hipster clientele are FAIL, so I try and go at opening mainly for lunch and I rarely eat there and thats a testament to the quality of the pizza. Even re-warmed in my oven, it's still delishus. Also the staff is very good and very patient having to deal with so much lame bs. They all deserve raises - daily.

Now Dimo's for Dimitri- the guy running the show. So it's not just a random new name. Duuuh ;-) Anyhow, I've been meaning to try this but it took awhile cuz I usually never go out of my way for pizza- especially any kind of pizza in this city. Hell no. So I stopped by recently being in the neighborhood for work and grabbed some lunch with a coworker. I'm pretty cool with thin crust and with mac and cheese and french fries atop the slices? I'm there! I've only been here sober of course as I don't live around here nor do I party up around here. So I can see why this is fantastic when sloshed. Sober- not so much. It's alright. With my last visit there was the one with lasagna and tortellini's on hand- I'm not into those pasta dishes by itself so I opted for the mac and cheese and the one with bbq sauce, beef and french fries. Yum fries. I don't like that they just HAVE to dye the macaroni green or other colors. St. Patrick's day is long gone and it's just not necessary and kinda gross. Maybe it's to attract drunk trixies and chads for later-- Ooooooo loook at all the pretty colors! You've been m e s m e r i z e d. You w i l l EAT MEEEEEE. Anyway I went with it and the carb and fat fest was decent. I'm not dreaming about it later. The bbq beef with fries.. that one was also just okay. I picked a lot of the meat off because it was dry and unpleasant. The fries were really dried out but I enjoyed what was left- the bbq sauce and some cheese on my pizza. Great in theory but pretty poor execution. Dried out fries ad meat is the worse. I'll stop in from time to time but I'm in no hurry.

Roaming in Wrigleyville, there are only a few spots to grab a quick slice of good pizza and most times its just decent. Ian's is the top spot to find a unique and mesmerizing slice of za. If you're a first time like I was take a moment to peer through the glass and examine the lovely artwork on each of their unique pizzas. They have the usual pepperoni, sausage and cheese for $2.75. Or try one of their more uniquely created for $3.75; like BBQ Steak and fries, Chicken burrito, Penne pasta marinara or Spicy chicken quesadilla. I had the latter, while sober and let me tell you, I was thrilled. With red onions, an assortment of colored peppers, tomatoes, two cheeses and chicken. The veggies are diced and still have a crunch to them, the slice is more of a thin crust and the sauce had a tinge of sweetness. It reminded me of this pizza once offered by Red Baron or Tony's, something like the "fiesta" pizza. It was just enough, I was left with a feeling of satisfaction, still wondering if I should have more. Ian's offers a few more non typical toppings like, French fries, pasta noodles (penne, lasagna, mac), blue cheese, Asiago, black beans and don't forget sauce.. Creme fraiche, Alfredo, balsamic, it goes on and on. The sign on this place is not catchy, I've walked past many times and never looked in or wondered. Reading these reviews, I think thats a great thing, I would hate to wait in a long ass line for a slice. But, it's a truly awesome pizza. If you go with friends, share a 2 liter, it costs $2.50 which is the price of two cans of pop or have water, they've supplied a free water pump stocked with cups with the condiments. They also sell uncooked dough, 12" for $2 or 20" for $3. That's a deal! It's like standing in a candy store and when they ask what you would like to have, you need more time! The toppings are vivid and the pizzas gasp for your attention.

Just ordered delivery! Mac and Cheese pizza and also a vegan pizza with mozzarella teese, spinach, button mushrooms, red onions, and sliced tomatoes. It was all really good. The crust wasn't too doughy and not too crisp either. All the ingredients tasted really fresh. The mac and cheese pizza was better than I anticipated - the cheese was great and the noodles were nicely cooked. Yay =D

Not what I expected. I was thinking this place would be grimey with mediocre pizza, considering it's a late, late night spot.. (meaning where the drunks cometh). But it was nice and clean. The only thing that sort of bothered me was the fact that none of the pizzas were labeled and the line was long, so it was hard to pick. Communal tables and all that, cute ambiance. They were playing UGK- International Players Anthem while I was eating pizza. Win. Also, I was completely sober, so yes, the pizza is good w/out alcohol in your system.

Came here for a slice after a night of salsa dancing down the street at Cubby Bear. I got the portabello, spinach, and red pepper, and completely enjoyed it. I've nothing left to add that hasn't already been said a hundred times in other reviews...

Went after the Yelp ComedySportz event on the way to Goose Island afterparty. I was meaning to try Ian's ever since Robin C. mentioned it. I have to say it has to be the best late nite pizza I have had and they have some drunken pizza toppings. I bet Ian gets drunk and has eureka moments with his pizza creations. ian, I've got some suggestions that will prob never make the cut. How about duck nachos pizza, breaded ravioli pizza, longanisa/portuguese sausage with rice pizza, jelly bean and popcorn pizza, Rocky Mountain oyster pizza, kim chi/ natto pizza, mango/lychee/tapioca balls pizza? No? Okay fine, I'll leave the crazy toppings to you. I ordered the BBQ steak and fries, while Amish ordered the spinach, portabello mushroom, roasted red pepper pizza which totaled to about $7. The pizza was thin and each bite had a light crisp. I give it four stars for the unique toppings, price, and impressive taste for pizza by the slice that's been sitting awhile. Next time I'll see if I can get one that's fresh out of the oven.

The real deal exotic pizza topping place. This is also a place from the past for me, as it used to be a Madison, Wisconsin gem for years before they took the plunge and came to Chicago. Come in here for quick service, and pizzas with a twist. I loved the chicken ranch and the steak & fries!!! Oh, and skip that Purgatory place down the street if it's between Ians and that crap hole. Like Ryan said, Burn in Hell, Purgatory.

There is this pizza place in my hometown that has a special place in my heart, and Ian's Pizza is like that pizza place's best friend who lives in Chicago...not as great but a very good replacement. I love pretty much everything about this place. * The location is about two blocks from my apartment so I can go there whenever I want. You can sit down and eat or bring it home. *The pizza slices are big, you can buy them individually, and they are inexpensive. So I can eat a meal for less than $5. *The pizza itself comes in all different type of crazy and not-so-crazy combinations. For example I've tried mac n cheese, frito pie, spicy chicken taco and then some. However, I've also enjoyed regular ol' sausage or veggie and it was just as enjoyable. *The pizza is delicious! *The staff is super cool and very customer service friendly, something I always appreciate. I am so happy that Ian's came into my life, it definitely gets the job done.

3.5 stars. Super friendly staff. Great location, right by the ballpark. Reasonable prices. Good selection. Maybe if I try more of the options it could be a 4 star, but I thought the slice I had was not as flavorful as the description and was heated a bit too long in the oven. Still, about as good an option for a pre game or post game (or heck, mid game) bite as there is near Wrigley.

You can get a vegan pizza here, friends! Hooray! The variety is amazing. Many delicious topping choices. Very friendly, accommodating staff. I enjoy sharing a large pizza in the restaurant and maybe...maybe taking some home for excellent leftovers. Will go here time and again.

Last Saturday was National Vegan Pizza Day. In Los Angeles or New York I'm sure finding a vegan pizza restaurant is second nature. In Chicago, choices are very limited. I heard down the grapevine that Ian's Pizza in Wrigleyville (of all places!) began serving vegan pizza with local vegan company Chicago Soy Dairy. What was taking me so long to make a stop and try it? Well, most of my friends moan that it's "probably going to taste weird" and it wasn't usually served by the slice. Saturday, January 29 changed that. I finally made the decision to stop in and grab a full pizza. We called ahead of time to place our order and picked it up at about 8PM. Of course, the restaurant was slammed with bar crawlers devouring the popular macaroni n' cheese pizza. I was going cruelty free today! We picked up our pizza for a little over $10. It was a tempeh sausage pizza. Wow. I have to say that I was absolutely stunned by the pizza. It was wonderful. Vegan cheese can be an odd ingredient. Chicago Soy Dairy is the best option opposed to Daiya. The "sausage" was spicy and almost brought a tear to my as I was blasted my nostalgia of what sausage tasted like. I honestly am counting down the days to when I return. A major surprise and probably the best vegan pizza place to hit in the city. Well done!

Its fine. If you're in the neighborhood and drunk, its a feast. Otherwise why bother? Yeah, they have unusual slices that I've seen featured on the Food and Travel networks.....that have been sitting there too long and are tired tasting and dried out. Its a pizzeria. That has funky slices. The end. Its not some gourmet religious experience. Also, they don't have a lot of funky slices without meat. And the funky slices aren't that funky. Mac and Cheese. Tasty, but also bland. Pesto with portobello mushrooms. Yummy, but kind of oily. My boyfriend got a taco pizza. Tasted like a bunch of taco crap on some bread. Meh. If you're around, and you're drunk, and you're kinda simple, you'll think you're at the coolest place ever. If you are an adult that doesn't walk around wasted at 3pm on a Thursday in Wrigleyville with all the other drunks, there are better pizza places.

4 words. macaroni and cheese pizza. I love it. I went here with friends after a long night of drinking in Wrigley ville. I never seen such a long line @ 2am for pizza. simply, the 15 minute wait was well worth it. They have lots of different types of weird specialty pizza, so be sure to try them out.

Daniel S.

It's a pizza joint but not made like how you would typically expect. The spot is pretty small as you can see the whole place as you walk in the door. The staff was nice and they have a wide selection of specialty pizzas. I made up my mind and got the bbq chicken with bacon and ranch on there. It was definitely worth trying! All of the flavors complimented well and it really hit the spot. I did notice that most people ordered two slices as well. If you have not tried the food yet, you definitely need to visit at least once. I will make more visits and try other toppings!

It breaks my heart but I have to call you out Dimo's. I was a loyal customer but due to the absolutely terrible customer service, I no longer will be. I ordered a 12" vegan barbecue chicken pineapple pizza (which apparently doesn't exist) instead of the buffalo chicken pineapple pizza. Did the person taking the order ask if I knew the difference? NO. I ended up with a dry, thick, and unappetizing pizza that was nothing like what I had before. I called to see if I could have the situation remedied and was put on hold a number of times. Somehow, I got to overhear the employees yelling and arguing about the situation while insulting me. When the girl (Megan) got back on the phone she said they could give me half off my next order or she would pay for my next slice out of her own pocket. NO THANKS! Obviously, money is not the problem here. I told her I overheard what they were saying and she responded with, "omg, oops. I thought I put you on hold". Then she actually asked me if I was vegan or if I just liked vegan pizza! Seriously? Do I have something to prove here? The only reason I gave two stars is because of Gina; she's awesome and has a cool type of professionalism. Unlike Megan, who questioned my diet and ability to order a pizza. That's the last $11 I'll waste at Dimo's.

What you need to know about Ian's: -One slice is large enough to feed you, but ordering 2 is worth the physical pain it will cause you -Do NOT under any circumstances order cheese, pepperoni, or sausage. The specialty options are well worth the extra $1 and any doubts you might have about whether the toppings belong on a pizza -Pasta on pizza = most pleasurable form of carbicide ever All in all, Ian's is an excellent addition to Wrigleyville. There's no longer any reason to miss an inning to wait for mediocre, overpriced food at Wrigley if you're in the area to watch a Cubs game, and this is perhaps the best imagineable drunk food on the planet if you're in the area to party. Check it out!

Maggie M.

Ah. Ian's I'm so inlove with you. My life in Wrigley would not be the same without you. Pizza- delicious (my fav is the pesto with the ravs), Staff- so patient with all the drunk people and incredibly kind, Place- clean and well organized to get you your slice ASAP. Thank you. Keep doin' what you're doin'. Pizza Slut for life.

Indeed mac and cheese pizza with *honey* on top is the way to go. I was introduced to this by a friend who knew the place well in college. There are some really unique choices here and I won't hesitate to go back! It will cheer you up, as other people have commented, and truthfully, it's in a great area where you can sample this place drunkenly or casually.

Don K.

I pretty much feel like the guy breaking up with his longtime girlfriend, who uses the trite line, "it's me, honey, it's not you. Obviously you're a wonderful person." In fact, I think I gave this place 2 stars instead of 1 because I was intimidated by all of the 4 and 5 star reviews. On 6/29, with family in town and four decent Cubs tickets gifted to me by a company I do business with, I searched Yelp for a place near Wrigley for a quick bite before the game. Fantastic! I found Ian's, with more than 230 reviews, and a 4.5 star average. I knew it wasn't on Chicago Magazine's recent list of Chicagoland's 25 best pizzas, but hey, that writer must have just missed this place. So, our party of 4 got there. We even had our own 4 top. Now, full disclosure here - I love very crispy, very thin crust pizzas. My favorite crusts have their own personalities, and I like plenty of cheese and quality ingredients. My own favorites list, some of which were also chosen by Chicago Magazine, include Pizano's on State, Lou Malnati's thin, Pizzeria Via Stato, and Candlelite. And, in fairness to Ian's, I did read many of the reviews describing their crust as "limp", could be "folded", and "soft". So, I was warned, I just couldn't imagine that with a 4.5 average on Yelp, I wasn't going to enjoy this soft crust experience. Wrong! No problem with the atmosphere, which I actually liked. No problem with the staff, all of whom were extremely helpful and friendly. But, in the end, it just wasn't my kind of pizza. I have to say, I thought it was awful. Not just with a limp crust, but a completely flavorless crust, not unlike wet shirt cardboard (and yes, of course I am only imagining what wet shirt cardboard would taste like). I tasted a companion's mac and cheese, and didn't even think it was tasty mac and cheese as a stand alone dish. We ordered our own small bacon and green pepper pizza on which all of the ingredients, including the cheese, were microscopic in quantity. I tasted a pepperoni slice, and I thought the pepperoni lacked even a hint of flavor. Anyway, I won't go on. As I said at the beginning of this review, it's obviously me, not Ian's, and for sure not the 230+ Yelpers who gave this pizza place 4.5 stars. Certainly, a lot of people like a very soft crust, and I don't. Clearly, a lot of people think Ian's uses good ingredients on top, and I don't. But, as an occasional Yelper, and just like the umpires at the Cubs/Pirates game that night, I gotta calls 'em as I sees 'em.

Ian's is literally the only thing I am going to miss about living in Wrigleyville. Drunk, sober, or somewhere in between, this place is always a hit. Any establishment that encourages me to eat fries on a piece of pizza is a go in my book. Don't be intimidated by the wackiness of the flavor combinations or the number of options. These people know what they are doing - and they do it well (without breaking the bank).

I'm pretty sure the stretch of Clark between Addison and Roscoe is a good picture of what Hell is like, with the exception of Ian's Pizza (and the ghost of Wild Hare, R.I.P.) I've spent the last three years of my life vigorously becoming out of shape, so I don't eat here as much these days out of necessity for my well-being, but rest assured I still see each week's special pop up in my Twitter feed and drool at my desk on a regular basis. Most creative pizza I've ever had, and they rarely miss.

Scott C.

This review is for the pizza alone as we ordered from Ian's and had it delivered - meaning that I have no idea what the restaurant is like at all. Ian's was a suggestion to us based on their vegan pizza offering so we figured that we would give it a whirl. We ordered one vegan pizza and one regular cheese and sausage pizza. The cheese and sausage pizza was nothing to write home about, actually I'd put it one par with the slices of Connie's pizza you get at the United Center. That category would be "I like pizza, nothing else looks good, so I'll eat this." Same idea here - the sauce was so-so and the the crust was quite doughy. The vegan pizza was enjoyable. Our friend liked the flavor and the texture of the pizza. So, that's a plus for those of you looking for vegan pizza options. With so many other great Chicago pizza options available I don't think we'll be ordering from Ian's again.

Mike K.

It's pretty pathetic that an Englishman's pizza (Ian's) is better than an Italian's (Pauly's). Ay, Poo-awww-leee, back to the drawing board maybe? Anyway, Ian's is definitely fresher and better tasting than Pauly's. I tried the Mexican (or Tex-Mex?) pizza and loved it. I'll trudge the extra block south next time I'm hammered post-Cubs and want a slice. I'm bumping Ian's up to four stars. Ta, Ian's.

It is so terrible when friends are in Chicago from out of town and somehow you end up on Clark Street at 2am. What a circus! Upon entering Ian's, I wanted to run away immediately, but the combination of being told they had mac and cheese pizza and only having salad at Pick Me Up allowed me to power through this rare late night adventure (... I am such a homebody). ANYWAY, they had so many pizzas on display! I didn't really know what to do and it was too loud in there for me to hold up the line by asking questions. I just pointed at two random pies and moved along, a little sad that there was no mac and cheese pizza. Of course they brought out a new one after I had paid for mine. Luckily my friend (informant about the m&c pizza AND savior of the night) saw how distressed I was and bought me a slice. So, what started out as a pretty annoying trip home got much better! The PERFECT ending was when some drunk jerk waiting for his slices tried to steal mine when they put them out on the counter. His shady moves were quickly spotted by one of the staff, who grabbed all the slices, took them off the counter, told the guy no, and then handed them to me. :) My hero!!! As for the pizza, it is really good. They do a great crust. My favorite was the spinach pesto with feta cheese with the veggie coming in a close second. I would pass on the mac and cheese next time. It's a really exciting concept but was pretty bland.

I just recently moved to Chicago (Lincoln Park/Lakeview area) and ordered Dimo's for the first time last night. My boyfriend and I ordered delivery, which took almost 2 hours to arrive. When I called to place the order, the girl who answered was awesome. She had a great personality and was very easy to talk to. I did receive a call that the pizza was going to arrive a bit later than expected, but I received this call about 5-10 minutes before the guy arrived. It would've been nice to know a little earlier on. When the pizza arrived, it was good, but it just wasn't very hot and seemed like it had been made a while ago. We ordered half sausage/pepperoni and half bbq chicken pineapple. They were both good, I probably liked the sausage/pepperoni the best, but it would've been better had it been hot. I will probably try this place again.

Pinaki S.

The sign on the door (it could have been the 7 beers I had, though) said "Review us on Yelp" (not Yelp made sign). This speaks to the confidence the place has on sustaining drunk Wrigleyville patrons. The number of types of pizza here really boggles the mind. I mean, damn don't you think drunk people just want pepperoni and cheese? Well, apparently they don't. And by the numbers of people who were trying the specialities, maybe they are onto something. Trying to save money (nevermind the $50 I blew at Mullens), I got the simple pepporoni. Damn good.

Erik O.

This place was good. Not great. Let me explain. The pizzas are all about shock value, and what weird shit they can pile on top of it. We got 6 slices so we could try some of the crazy combinations. -The Mac n Cheese - Weird and not really like mac n cheese -The California - Very good, with goat cheese -Steak and fries - ok, nothing too special. The sauce is too sweet. -Steak Nacho - FUCKING GOOD! I loved this slice - and we got 2 slices of the Chicken Bacon Ranch - which was very good, but the ranch dressing was a little too thick on some parts, and it was just too much sometimes. Here's the deal. Don't come here if you want traditional pizza. Come here if you are looking for something a little different, and want to try some crazy pizza toppings.

Natalie S.

Even if my son was not obsessed with the mac n' cheese pizza, and even if they did not have a CM Punk-inspired pizza on the menu for next week, I would love this place simply for their super nice staff and wacky ideas. I love trying every new veggie slice, and I have yet to try one that didn't hit the spot. I admit, the mac n' cheese is my favorite too, but the tortellini's ot too shabby either. I avoid Ian's during Cub's games to keep my husband out of jail for face-shoving drunken idiots into oncoming traffic, but man oh man am I there all the time during football season!

Brandon R.

It's your first time at Ian's? DO THIS - Try the Mac & Cheese. It's their staple for a reason. - Ask questions. You're required to be incredibly nice and awesome to work there, so they'll have no qualms in breaking down each slice for you. - Be drunk and go at bar time. Don't let the long line fool you; they're machines and will get you your pizza shortly. The pizza is still amazing sober, but Ian's was meant to be enjoyed in a drunken stupor. - That may make asking questions slightly difficult. - Take it to the next level: Throw some hot sauce on your pizza, ask for a side of ranch... experiment a little. Lemme tell you, Mac & Cheese goes from great to orgasmic with a little ranch thrown in the mix. DON'T DO THIS - Order cheese and/or pepperoni. Those slices are only available for cheapskates and little kids. You want cheese or pepperoni, go to Chi Pie or some other junk establishment. - No, that last part was not just, like, my opinion, man. It's science. - Expect the water to be refreshing. It's lukewarm. That's just how they roll. Order a real drink if you need something cold to wash the za down. - Order one slice. I don't care who you are or how hungry you are, Ian's is a 2 slice adventure. And if you have a free slice from your punch card? Wait, I thought this was your first time? How do you have 10 punches already? A unique experience, an affordable experience, and a memorable experience. Viva la Ian's.

Ian's pizza had been suggested to me by a friend who said that I had to try their macaroni and cheese pizza. Being the adventurer and lover of pizza that I am, I made my way to Ian's to give it a shot. Ian's sells by the slice which is nice, so I got a slice of the mac and cheese and a slice of the pepperoni. There seemed like there wasn't much seating, maybe enough room for 25 total, but I was able to find an open table. I tried the famous Mac and Cheese pizza first, and it wasn't half bad. The noodles on the pizza I felt were a little dry, but overall the pizza was light and tasty. I next tried the pepperoni and it was pretty good to, I think I was thrown off a little bit switching from the mac and cheese pizza back to a "normal" slice of pizza but I would say Ian's is decent. Not sure I would make a special trip there like I did this time, but If I was in the area again I wouldn't avoid it.

Awesome pizza. Very inventive flavors that taste great. The prices are a bit high but you get what you pay for...My family and I had some on a typically frigid day in late November or possibly December and everyone loved it... Plus, right now Ian's is in the news because they are helping to support the protests in Wisconsin against the attack on unions and public workers. Even the NYT says as much: "Scott Van Eggeren, a pizza lover who opposes Gov. Scott Walker's push to curb collective bargaining rights, hailed Ian's contribution to the cause. 'It's awesome,' said Mr. Van Eggeren, a water analyst in the State Department of Natural Resources, having just downed a macaroni and cheese slice. 'And the pizza is just great.'" Go Ian's!

John R.

Not sure why this isn't Ian's anymore, but it doesn't look like the pizza has changed. Wonder if they're completely independent of the Madison location now. This is definitely one of the best slice places in the city and being a block from Wrigley is pretty nice. They have some of the better pasta themed pizza's that I've had (mac and cheese; Tortellini). I've had pasta-themed pizzas that just seem like the pasta is made and plopped on the dough. Their pasta pizza's aren't too heavy and have just the right amount of pasta and sauce. I also really enjoy their latino-themed slices. Again, other places are a little too heavy on these types of pizza, whereas here they ingredients are just right. I generally stay away from their slices with potato or fries. These are a little heavy. They're not bad, it's just I would rather get them at Crust or the Pizza Metros. There's also nothing special about their more traditional slices. The actual crust is good, but a slice with pepperoni or just sausage is a little bland. It would feel a little anti-climatic to go here and get one of these slices.

The Wrigleyville branch definitely has its own feel, while also staying true to the Ian's name. For example, the restaurant is painted in traditional bright Red, with the lovable Ian's Pizza pie logo. But, they pay homage to their proximity to the Cubs and include a baseball in the logo. One not-so-pleasant difference between this location and the Madison one is the music. They prefer to play loud, weird stuff. Not the best when you're trying to yell your order to a worker with lots of people around. They have some cool regional varieties of pizza that Madison doesn't have, my favorite being S'mores pizza. When I went with my friend Felicia, we both got two slices, which we agreed was more than filling. I grabbed a slice of a chicken parmesan and a piece of S'mores pizza to add a dessert. The chicken parmesan featured rigatoni noodles with chicken and delicious cheese. It was cooked to perfection and tasted awesome. They made the S'mores pizza while I waited (it only took about 14 minutes), so I got it when it was nice and fresh. With toasted marshmallow, bits of graham cracker, chunks of hershey chocolate bars and a nice drizzle of chocolate syrup, it was amazing. The end of the crust was a little overcooked, but that was a small worry, as the rest of the pizza was freckin' sweet. Overall, I am pleased that there is an Ian's branch to serve my homesickness when it gets really bad. Nothing is the same as the one in downtown Madison, but this is a nice alternative! The Price Rating: The Journalist- Kids who are doing alright- this is the middle of the road. They are good with money, but aren't going to get rich in an industry of dying newspapers

I've been there a few times, and their MAC AND CHEESE pizza is sooooo good. I was a little nervous to try it, but I'm so glad that I did because it was amazing! The only complaint that I have is that it is sometimes confusing to order because they have all the pizzas lined up and you can see the crazy toppings on them, but unless it is something really noticeable (like mac and cheese) it is hard to distinguish between the different types. I think it would be good if they could throw up little ID cards or something once they put the pizza on display... Despite everything, I love this place, and the pizza is very good!
(4)
Steve G.

definitely not good either... A star for the staff being really friendly, but the pizza is just not good. I mean seriously, it absolutely sucks.... They have unusual variations such as, taco, cheezeburger, etc, but it's nothing more then a gimmick pizza place with sub-par ingredients. Some of the pizza flavors were actually kind of gross, and this is coming from someone who loves any pizza. The pizza literally taste like I made it at home with leftovers in the fridge.... Also, not very filling at all, as the crust is paper thin, with thin toppings. I'm not a big person, and I could easily eat a large on my own. I live a few blocks west of this place, and the people that keep this place afloat are drunk tourist, transplants from Michigan and suburbans who don't know what else is around.

Is it sacrilegious to order a pizza with *NORMAL* toppings from Ian's? I get it, I love their mac & cheese pizza too. But sometimes a girl just craves a slice of mushroom and pep. A slice that a girl can fold in half and eat 3 of. Before you ask me why I would buy a normal pizza from Ian's, I'll tell you that I've been searching high and low for some NY-style slices in Chicago for a very very long time. And Ian's comes the CLOSEST to replicating the chewy crispy dough...and the perfectly thin but not TOO floppy slices of pizza with the right balance of cheese, sauce, & bread. So yes, Ian's has some awesomely weird pizzas, but if you're an ex-East Coaster like me who misses the large slices of NY, order from Ian's!

Amanda D.

While in Madison a few months ago a friend took us to Ian's after a night out. Slight problem... I've been obsessed ever since. The good news is that the Ian's on Clark is just the same! Macaroni and Cheese has been my favorite meal since I was a kid, so I'm pretty much a one trick pony when it comes to Ian's. Yes, it 's something to get used to but it's so creamy and cheesy! Yumm! I have also tried a few others with meat and different toppings and they were just as good. Looking for a fabulous thin crust? Head to Ian's!

My friend and I were contemplating on ordering some deep dish or regular pan pizza. Then, my friend told me she knew of a place that wasn't as heavy as deep dish but had lot of variety. So, we looked at Ian's Pizza menu and knew Ian's already won us over when we saw the Mac n Cheese pizza. So, we ordered a whole Mac n' Cheese pizza and 1/2 BBQ Chicken and 1/2 Onions and Green Peppers. We managed to finish both pizzas, give or take once slice... But it was well worth the money and calories. The Mac n Cheese pizza wasn't too rich and had the perfect amount of cheese. My friend isn't really a fan of BBQ chicken, but the BBQ chicken for me was so delicious! They were really generous with the amount of veggies! I definitely will be ordering Ian's again, especially after a snow storm!

Learm about this place here in Yelp and no regrets at all!!! Great pizza and an amazing and different variety!! Loved the red peppers, spinach and Portobello...do you deliver? Good size slices, very clean (important), and friendly staff, Visited the place twice. It will definitely become a mandatory stop on my Chicago trips!

Dabney, B.

Well, I don't have a whole lot to say here. I absolutely LOVE this place, but know very little if anything about it. One day I'll get here at a time outside of the faded 2AM - 5AM window. I know as much about the layout of Ian's as I know abut the room in which you're reading this review. Nada. But I know I love it because at least one Saturday and or Sunday morning I walk out and see an empty Ian's box for a slice sitting on the kitchen counter. Two if I brought my A Game the night before ;-) I remember a decade ago it was aluminum foil in a brown paper bag crumpled up with little pieces of steak scattered about with a reminder of the damage I had done the previous night. Seems of late, I've gone 100% Ian's. How do I always find myself there in the middle of the night? I can honestly tell you I don't plan it up front, but something keeps bringing me back. When I go there at reasonable hour, I'll tell you more. But this place clearly holds the title in my household when it comes to late-night Wrigleyville eating establishments. If you want an excellent thin crust Chicago pizza, this is your best bet (I think)! Trust me. Thanks Ian's, keep up the good work!

Ian's Pizza is my favorite pizza place! If you are looking for unique pizza then this is the place to go. My favorite pizza that I love to order is the mac n cheese, buffalo chicken with blue cheese sauce and the guacamole pizza yummmmmmm! I love the fact that you can order by the slice, that way you can try multiple pizza combination without feeling like you have to by whole pizza with one topping or half and half combo. I usually buy 3 slices and just go crazy with them. I am a fan of great customer service, so if you are looking for friendly servers that will be patient with you will you while you drool and ponder over what pizza to get, then this is the place for you. This restaurant is defiantly a treat!

Not only is the pizza great but they have a consistently friendly/helpful staff. I'll keep going back because of this alone.

Lopa P.

MAC AND CHEESE PIZZA! I think the creme fraiche is what takes it to the next level. I eat mine with hot sauce and BBQ sauce. Might sound weird, I know, but just try it. Being open late is always a plus, and the prices are reasonable.
(5)
Monica G.

Went to Dimo's, formerly Ian's, for the first time since the updates last night. I can tell you, nothing much has changed. Staff are still friendly and fast, food is great. They told me the story of how dimo's has come to be, even have flyers describing what happened. I'm so relieved my favorite pizza in Chicago is still reliable and delicious.
(5)
Carolynne M.

Thank you, Ian's for bucking the Chicago tradition and serving up a pizza with a REAL crust. Now, I realize its not New York or New Haven style, but any crust that has a bit of a flop to it and is chewy rather than crackery is aces in my book. It's a little strange though, for some reason your pizza is only good hot from the oven? We took some home and I tried a piece cold (which is my favourite way to eat pizza btw) and it just wasn't good. Flavours were off, crust was heavy and too dense - how odd! Not since an unfortunate encounter with a day old D'Giorno have I been this taken aback and displeased. I do like your fancy ingredient options, I will definitely be back for pizza. Your salads, eh, large enough to feed two but the Greek wasn't anything special or different from any Greek salad at any cheapy pizza place.

Evan S.

Wide variety of pizza. Their thin crust is a rendition of New York style pizza; pretty good for a Chicago joint! I'm not a huge fan of the macaroni pizza though. I feel it's a little more hype than honest. If Mac n' Cheese pizza was so great, everyone would be doing it. I'll get it again
(3)
Kate T.

Yay for vegan pizza by the slice! Sadly it's only on Thursdays. Try the spicy seitan chicken. For the vegan cheezes, I recommend the mozzarella. It tends to melt better than the cheddar.
(4)
Chris C.

This place is a heck of a lot of fun. I come here when I'm feeling decadent, or when I've had a really bad day. Its great to come in here and find out what surprises they have waiting for me. The only problem is the bizarre mixtures of ingredients don't usually sit well with me. But knowing that in advance, its not too much of a problem. The pizza itself is of a very good quality as well. Really not much else to say, go check it out if you are looking for something different!

vanessa m.

Pretty great! I had the mac and cheese w/some hot sauce and it was amazing! Also had the mushroom red pepper which was really good too. Nice thin, slightly crispy crust. The counter manager guy was really helpful and cheerful. Honestly good customer service goes a loooong way. I went Friday around 2 (non cubs day) and it was nice and quiet inside. Lastly, even though i'm not a veg-it's still really nice to have a lot of vegetarian options. I guess they have a vegan night once a week which seems like a great option for those out there with more self control than I may ever posses. A+
(5)
Robin W.

Vegan new york style pizza...oh yes! The large size is pretty expensive, but the smaller 12 inch is perfect for two, only $14 bucks, great crispy crust, and you get tons of premium vegan toppings including Mozza Teese, Yeves Pepperoni, and Uptons Seitan Sausage. I love the way this place runs...they are totally on the customer's side, glad to have your business and most importantly, they are open late! I reaaaaaaalllly really hope they open another location in wicker park or uk village, so I can get delivery instead of trekking all the way up there!

Ian's gets extra points from me for selling good-tasting pizza by the slice. I'm a commitment phob - I don't want to be committed to just one pizza, and selling by the slice allowed me to try multiple flavors; a mac 'n' cheese slice + a feta, spinach, and portobello slice. Sometimes pizza sold by the slice can taste terribly reheated, but Ian's didn't for some reason. The mac 'n' cheese may sound bizarre, but it's a really solid tasty pizza. TRY IT! The crust was perfectly crunchy throughout the body of the pizza and the carb-on-carb dynamic of the slice worked surprisingly well. However, I can't give this pizza five stars bc I couldn't help but think the pizza had an overall undeveloped flavor. It might be A+ worthy w/ some spice or a more complex cheesy topping (gorgonzola?). The portobello slice further reduced Ian's rating; soggy body crust topped w/ cheaper tasting ingredients. Still good and extra points for the feta, but by no means gourmet tasting. Overall, I would say Ian's is what it is, and it is delicious - it's well priced and offers unusual pizza combinations in a low key atmosphere - but derives much of its yummy-ness from a heavy hand. BYO!

Shanna B.

Okay so I see that I'm a little late in discovering the drunken blessing that is Ian's - but mac n cheese pizza??? I mean, MAC N CHEESE PIZZA??!?!!!! My two favorite ooey gooey cheesey fat kid foods combined?! ::sigh:: foodgasm! Although my tongue is angry that I've only just discovered this amazingness (that's been right in front of my face in my own neighborhood no less), my hips are grateful I'm sure. My friends chose Steak & Fries pizza for their 2am fix, but who cares. Mac n Cheese pizza, guys! The Pesto/Spinach/Feta slices looked really good too. $3.50ish for slices as big as the plate itself is a bonus! Can't wait to go back and indulge in a ridiculous way
(5)
Marie B.

I came here specifically to have the mac and cheese pizza. It was not as weird-tasting as I expected it would be, and ended up getting it the second time I went as well. I also tried their buffalo chicken pizza which was more "normal" but quite good. There are several other concoctions I'd like to try. While I prefer either thin crust or deep dish to the more New York-style crust used on most pizzas here, it's definitely a great place to grab a quick, economical meal.

TJ F.

Excellent pizza, it's one of my favorites in the city for a slice. Delivery can take a really long time so I only dine in or pick up. Sooooooooo good!
(5)
Heather R.

I LOVE IAN'S!!! It's tasty, creative, and affordable. I've yet to get a pizza slice I didn't like and the slices are big. You definitely get what you pay for. The staff is friendly and it's always clean. It's always packed when I go with not a lot of seating, but fortunately I've always gotten a seat. It is, by far, the best place to people watch in Chicago---especially on Friday and Saturday nights. Seriously. I'm a Pizza Slut for life!

Amy H.

Ian's Pizza is the greatest. As a Madison transplant, I honestly rated proximity to Ian's as a perk during my apartment hunt last year. The pizza is fantastic and usually worth the battle through a sea of Clark street bros. My all-time favorite pizza is the Spicy Chicken Taco. Oh. My. God. A perfect blend of cheese, chicken, spice and magic on top of a mysteriously perfect crust. Other highlights include the Buffalo and Barbecue chicken slices. To top it off, staff is always friendly, talkative and willing to whip up any slice you request. Go to Ian's. It's inexpensive, fresh, delicious pizza with a sense of humor.
(5)
Tammy H.

They get one star taken away because they're not open on Mondays. I really want them to be open on Mondays. Otherwise, their pizza has never disappointed me, but I of course have my favorites (philly and mac and cheese)! Every now and then I get adventurous. The S'mores pizza should also make more appearances. It makes for a good second slice. Mmm. What's your favorite?
(4)
Erin K.

Boy, oh, boy! What an idea! Mixing various things I love (like Mac'n'Cheese) with pizza (which I also love) - ingenious! I've been here a few times and always look forward to my next visit. The selection is always changing and always delicious. Plus its just all around good pizza. Its a busy spot so there's typically a line but it's pretty well designed and moves pretty fast. One complaint on that though is they expect you to order immediately upon reaching the counter. Which is good and helps keep the line moving, but also that is your first chance the view the pizzas. And they aren't listed anywhere! How are you supposed to know what's available?? Anyway, its open late and that's always a perk. Pizza, especially by the slice is always better after a night on the town- wink, wink. However, do beware. If you go late at night. There's a good chance 90+% of the patrons will be blacked out. So be prepared to be a bit annoyed if you, yourself haven't endulged quite so thoroughly. But it'll still be well worth it! Enjoy! :)

gennifer g.

Easily the best pizza in Chicago! Oh and did I mention you can get VEGAN pizza here?? Yum! Choices of faux meats, veggies, noodles, and vegan mozz or cheddar! YUM! However, it is kind of pricey and they don't have vegan slices. Oh and pretty much everyone that goes in there is a typical wrigleyville douche so it's awesome for people watching! ...and BYOB!

Phil X.

I'm in Wrigleyville. I'm leaving the bar (not by choice). I'm hungry. I'm craving BBQ Chicken Pizza. To my dismay, the pizza joint across the street is closed. I see a place called Ian's Pizza with a crowd of drunkards surrounding it. I enter... Barbeque Steak & Fries Pizza. Wow. What a slice of heaven! Tasty indeed! The place was crowded. I ate standing over a table with no chairs. I didn't even care. The BBQ Steak & Fries Pizza had me at hello. They had other non-traditional pizza's such as Mac'n'Cheese, Taco, and with Buffalo Chicken! Pizza by the slice! Get some!!!

An P.

Being the most well-versed in Wrigleyville fare and having Yelped up and down the block for several years, an executive decision was made and Ian's Pizza became our target. I was relieved that the 6pm crowd was much less brutal than the 2am or 3am crowd with alcohol seeping out of their pores and violence ready to break out at the drop of an insult to one's mother or one's most favored team. With the line of pizzas in sight, my focus was on grabbing the last slice of Smokey the Bear, Ian's signature sausage, bacon, french fry and barbecue sauce pizza slice while my other friends grabbed some mac n' cheese slices. Usually I help myself to one of these magical pieces, but a new piece of pie caught my eye and I dived into a slice of omelette / hash brown pizza featuring egg, bacon, potato and cheese with barbecue sauce. One of the finer aspects of Ian's Pizza is that it is a wholly solid piece of pie. The slices can be picked up and they won't flop all over the table or spill toppings down onto the paper plates. We ate and filled ourselves on pizza while working on rehydration to ensure survival into the wee hours of the night.

Jisha A.

If you've never had Mac 'n cheese ( my personal fav now) or pasta/lasagna on a slice of pizza, I do recommend hitting Ian's Pizza. There's always something different to try out. They even have a dessert pizza with brownies and oreo cookies. Gets crowded if you're heading out there at the end of a Cubs game or any event at Wrigley Field. Staff's quite friendly.
(4)
Nancy H.

Any place that can sustain 4.5 stars after 250+ yelp reviews has got to be good! I like how each slice is on display and you can basically just point at what you want. MAC & CHEESE was not out for some reason but because of my very good yelp research i did while in the bar before we went, I knew exactly what to ask for! I can't believe people get normal pizza like pepperoni or sausage at this place. This place has some pretty cool stuff on pizza that you've gotta take advantage of. MAC & CHEESE is a MUST. Truly unique! Definitely will be returning for this! TORTELLINI pizza is also fun to try, but it needed more tortellini!

Christina M.

Ian's Pizza, located on a busy stretch of Clark St. in Wrigleyville, has some great options for vegans. They generally sell pizza by the slice, but since vegan pizza is a specialty item, you have to order a whole pizza. No big deal, because for $14 you can get a small pizza (looks more medium to me) with whatever toppings you'd like, that includes the vegan meats. They use Chicago Soydairy's Teese cheese, which apparently has been reformulated to melt and stretch similar to Daiya's vegan cheese. Although Teese has been upgraded, I felt it wasn't very flavorful and feel that Ian's can benefit by switching to Daiya, but that's my opinon. Overall my pizza was good. I will surely be back when I'm in the area. 3.5 Stars

Really like the variety of pizza and extra-friendly staff. The Mac-n-Cheese pizza is baby friendly, as Jack devoured it.

Dantee A.

Ian's is like Hot Doug's, but for pizza. With pizza options like the Breakfast Burrito, Rodeo Burger, Chicken Alfredo, Mac and Cheese, and the famous Smore pizza - it's great for people who like variety and the worst place for the indecisive. Community tables and a smiley staff makes this place welcoming and fun. I do wish that they labeled each pizza by the slice so no one would have to scream their orders to the staff, but I guess that's the charm of the place. For $3.75, you get a big slice of pizza - not as big a Bacci's pizza, but filling after a night's out drinking...well make that two slices.

Kit G.

I was one of Ian's biggest fans, so I had to check out Dimo's. Strike 1: they didn't have Mac and cheese pizza, in fact they only had about 4 options. Strike 2: my pizza had a fly on it.... Disappointed but I will give them another shot before they strike out.

Mac and cheese pizza... so good!! Best late night post bar spot in the wrig

Taylor J.

This place gets an extra star for being an awesomely affordable and convenient BYOB joint. Not only is there a liquor store less than half a block away, the setting is casual - you order at the counter and take your plate of pizza to any of several long benches. It's located in the heart of Wrigleyville and has some pretty sweet interior design. That said, it's also a little dirty (unwiped tables, overflowing recycling bins, discarded black liquor bags) and frankly, the pizza was forgettable. Hate to pigeonhole this place, but right now I've got it mentally filed under 'cheap, convenient BYOB with decent pizza.' I'll give it a couple more chances to change that filing.

I went to school in Madison, where Ian's owns the town. I used to order pizza without cheese regularly because it was convenient and comfortable and everyone else was doing it. Fast forward a few years and I hear that Ian's is in Chicago and uses vegan cheese? With local veg ingredients (Chicago Soy Dairy and Upton's)? Love! My favorite is the veg buffalo chix with olive oil base and teese mozzerella. I was told that they can make the infamous mac and cheese pizza vegan(???!!!) I feel like it will either be incredible or cardboard. Once I muster up the courage, I will share the results with the Yelp community. Until then vegans, unite and order Ian's veg pizza on the reg so that they will make the dairy free pie a regular offering alongside the other slices. Please :)
(5)
Lindsey B.

I've had a few different slices from here: regular cheese, beef taco, tortellini, loaded baked potato, and penne & sausage. Most of them were extremely delicious (esp the potato), but there's almost no way I could ever justify paying $3.50 a slice unless the slice weighs 4 pounds and is full of cream sauce, artichokes, and spinach a la Artichoke on 14th St. in NYC. These slices aren't even what I would consider "large." Good for a once in a while splurge, but come on, you could get a lot more pretty good food for that kind of money at other places.

Dustin B.

I moved to Wrigleyville in July 2008. One of the first places I stumbled upon to eat was this new Pizza joint just 1 block south of Wrigley. I can say I have eaten there about 50 times and love the BBQ Chicken Pizza. These guys get Pizza and know how to deliver a great product. Keep up the great work and try Ian's
(5)
Julia R.

Yuuuuuummmmmm! Split slices of pizza so I tried three - mac n cheese, chicken taco, and tortellini. All were pretty awesome but tortellini was my favorite. Let's just say I'll be craving this pizza till I get back there - and excited to try some more! Yuuuuummmmmm again! AND recently went back - tried the carne asada. yum yum yum. I just think you cannot go wrong here! I tried little nibbles of all of my friend's pizza when we were here too - probably 4 more kinds - all awesome! Always look forward to being in the Ian's vicinity!

Jennifer B.

I went to Yelp's Winterscape Elite party, and unassumingly walked over to the "pizza spot." I tasted a piece of the the mac n' cheese pizza, thereby waking me up from my simple cheese pizza slumber into a world I have not known.....Ian's! Less than 24 hours later I was at Ian's pizza place on Clark, trying to decide between a slice of the Southwestern taco pizza or a piece of the chicken rigatoni pizza! Who knew such wonderful combinations could be created? Did God himself whisper in Ian's ear, "Creativity my son......" or something? Whatever the case, I feel like a better person for having tried these pizzas. My party tried a variety of slices, and by far my favorite was the spinach and roma tomato. Healthy(er) and great tasting! Thank you Ian!

Grabbed a couple slices after the cubs game This pizza is awesome! What stands out is top quality ingredients and diverse offerings. I love the specials which are always changing. If only I could spend more time in Chicago to get more Ian's.

Patrick G.

I had the pleasure of experiencing Ian's Pizza tonight. Whenever I come to a place I know will receive a disproportionate size of my weekly paycheck and contribute to my growing waistline, I find the experience bittersweet. After salivating over a dozen eclectic pizzas that ranged from mac n' cheese and taco to tortellini, I settled on the steak and fries variety. It was probably one of the best slices of pizza I've had since moving to Chicago. Cheese, steak, french fries, barbecue sauce on a thin crust... I'm sad the slices are so big because I wanted to try them all. However, I remain confident I will accomplish such a task in the next month or so... The second best part behind the actually pizza is that a gigantic slice and can of soda is only five dollars with tax. This place is unbeatable.
(5)
Aaron B.

The best, most mouthwatering Chicago deep dish pizza? Not a chance! Cheap and extraordinarily creative pizza by the slice? You betcha! ------------ What do I mean by creative? Try the macaroni and cheese pizza or the the Philly cheese steak pizza; they're delicious!

Jessi M.

I am an Ian's Pizza official Pizza Slut. I have the t-shirt. I'm going to grad school in Madison next year. I cheer for the Badgers in my sleep. I plan to continue to fill punch card after punch card for my free slices come August... and for now, I can keep biking a few scary blocks down Clark into the heart of Wrigleyville to get my fix. You cannot go wrong with anything with pasta on it and/or their weekly specials. That being said, I've never had a slice I didn't love, and if you are truly rendered indecisive by the sheer amazingness of options, ask the cool people behind the counter because they speak utter truth (I'm looking at you, hot Ian's employee man with the piercing... watch me get you more tips!) And, the weirder it sounds, the better it probably tastes. Oh goddamn I just love it here. I only wish they had Sprecher's soda like their big siblings in WI. Also, some drunk douchebag frat boys stole an empty bag out of the back of my bike locked out front once while I watched... hope they had fun with that. Thankfully inside Ian's is generally a bastion of sanity.

Lawrence Y.

300th review and it's a good one: I came here last weekend and got their "today only" special: the Rodeo. It was a tough decision between that and two other slices, but I'm glad I chose it. It was like a western bacon cheeseburger explosion extravaganza in my mouth (steak, onion rings, bacon, etc)! MMMM.
(5)
Jeremy G.

Sooo good!! The other reviews speak for themselves. I enjoy this place drunk AND sober - so it's legit. The variety is awesome, and there is a weekly special that keeps it interesting. Won't ramble on just cuz I don't wanna be redundant. But it's very good. So go.

marisa s.

OMFG mac 'n cheese on a pizza? hells yeah. quick slices...thin NY style...creative toppings. you had me at hello. (if you're in madison, WI...check out the original location. usually filled with drunken wisco kids when the bars close)

Sharon G.

oh.my .god. Best (and I'm pretty sure the only???) vegan pizza in Chicago. Not only do they carry vegan cheese, but mock meats as well! Not a huge fan of the pepperoni...there's better pepperoni mocks out there...but the sausage is fantastic *heart* thank you Ians.

Damn good pizza, tons of variety. They play enjoyable tunes here as well. Some nice eclectic beats. This place is also PRIME for people watching.

Vanessa U.

Mac & Cheese pizza -- this is really all you need to know. But, I could also tell you that they have vegan and gluten-free slices, friendly staff, and a fun environment. Also that they're only a few blocks away from where I work, so chances are good I'm going to gain some weight this Summer. That's okay, for Mac & Cheese pizza, it's well worth it.
(5)
Katherine H.

There are so many great things about Ian's, but the absolute best is Vegan By The Slice Thursdays! I haven't tried a pizza that I didn't like at Ian's and I swear my husband tries to think up every excuse in the book to eat here. This is the perfect spot after a late night out. The only downside is that they are packed after Cubs games and on weekends.
(5)
Jesse S.

Got looked at a little weird for ordering just a slice of cheese, but, whaddya gonna do? That's what I wanted at the time. I'll definitely go back for one of the more flavorful, unique options, but, it was late, I was hungry, and, I was not drunk enough for anything more complicated than a slice of cheese. Well, that slice did not disappoint. I can't stand the deep dish nonsense Chicago tries to pass off as pizza, so I was pleased as punch to be able to fold this slice in half and chow down when I popped in with some buddies after a comedy show the other week. Nom nom nom. Yeah, you gotta dodge the drunk assholes, but it's a rare opportunity to watch girls who on other occasions are likely to do as much in their power to be considered "hot" as possible get all sexy sexy with a piece of doughy goodness in their pie holes. (Actually, I find this pretty disgusting, but if there are any weird food fetishist people out there, you might want to consider coming here around 1 or so in the morning to see some fully uninhibited chicks make nice with their munchies. Bet if you had an extra slice waiting in a to-go container as you catch them on their way out the door, you might have a shot with them. Though this is Wrigleyville, after all, so, you might not need the slice.) Thanks Ian's, for hooking me up with a big, floppy, cheesy slice. I'll be back.

Dan H.

Very few weekends go by where I don't stumble into Ian's for some Mac n Cheese pizza... or the BBQ Chicken Pizza... or the Taco pizza (at least, I think I order taco pizza, it's usually 3:00 in the morning and I'm the Mayor of Blackout City). I've never had Ian's in a state of sobriety (or during daylight event), but if you're looking for a good late-night snack after the bars, find Ian. He's good people.

michele b.

Oh my!!! Great price and finally, A SOLIDLY good NY-style pizza!!! Crust is chewy, tomato sauce is fresh tasting, and cheese not overly greasy. SOLID!

Jacques M.

Believe the hype people! Sorry deep dish fans, but Ian's belong in the conversation for best pizza in Chicago. A 4 1/2 star yelp rating is pretty impressive and deserved. Be warned the Mac & Cheese Pizza is extremely addictive, once you have had you will never be able to pass Ian's again without ordering it. It never ceases to amaze me how restaurants can make an unhealthy dish even worse for you, why not add Mac and Cheese on a foot long slice of Pizza? They have several other (somewhat bizarre) flavors of Pizza. I'm still waiting for the slice that features a cream filled donut on top (hey it could happen people). Ian's is your waist lines worst enemy, but possibly your taste buds best friend.
(4)
Jose E.

Chicago deep dish is always near and dear to my heart, and maybe as literal as I would like it to be. But the toppings and variety served on the thin crust here is EPIC!! I want to write more about what they do here, but I'll take the lazy route this time and let the place and its followers do the work for me. Thanks Ian's for doing something amazing to pizza.

Carol J.

Ian's Pizza is delish. Yummy, cheese, gooey and relatively inexpensive. Awesome crust and a ton of ingredients to choose from. Pretty quick service. Oh and Ian is a hottie.
(5)
Jeff S.

I wouldn't go as far as saying it is the best pizza I have had, but if I am hungry in wrigleyville late night, there is no question where I am going. I have never had a slice of this Frankenpizza sober, and I probably never will, but as far as I know, the Chicken Parmesan, Guacamole Burrito, Mac n Cheese, or Chicken Penne Alfredo are definitely quality candidates to fill that void between 1-2am...or after cubs games are over...
(4)
Amy N.

I LOVE Ian's pizza, but this location rubbed me the wrong way a few weeks ago during a weekend visit around 9pm...Granted, it was a god-awful hot night in the city (90 degrees after sunset), but we arrived at Ian's sweaty and ready for some cold water and big pizza. I think their AC must have been broken or something, because it was STEAMING hot in there. I wish that all Ian's would install fountain drink machines, but I understand that's an extra expense and a huge hassle. However, they did have a water facet for glasses of water, and the water was HOT as well! What gives? Of course, my food was fantastic, as it always is. I just prefer my Milwaukee location!
(3)
Ryan S.

What else is there to say beyond what everyone else already has. The reason I am doing this review is more so to solidfy their rating as every fan should be doing. It might not be your Chicago style pizza joint, but they pizza's they pull off deserve their own categorizing. Make sure to tip those guys work hard to feed SO MANY baseball fans, bar crowds, and hungry locals! And they do it all with a very positive attitude!
(5)
Stacie K.

So I often find myself at Rebel bar & grill across the street from this fine establishment. Curse? Some would say so. I love the different kinds of pizza they offer with toppings that I would never have put on a pizza..like..mac n cheese pizza...LOVE IT! I BELIEVE I've also had the barbecue chicken pizza..the memory is a bit fuzzy though. ANYWAY, I always get good food here...you're in and out, stuffed, drunk, and ready to pass out in no time!
(5)
Jim D.

For a place that sees an obscene amount of business on the weekends, this place is awfully efficient, awfully friendly, and serves up some of the most unique pies in the city. Smack in the middle of Wrigleyville, you would figure it would serve cookie cutter New York thin crust, charge you $5-$6, and laugh all the way to the bank on the dime of drunk kids who don't know any better. However, Ian's has integrity, or simply feels some connection to the Wrigleyville crowd because he (I'll assume Ian actually exists) eschews this logic to make his pizza damn tasty. I usually stick with the meaty pizzas, but those who take the plunge on his more creative dishes have given high marks. Most importantly, in the drunk food pantheon, this is one of the few places I've been to sober. I wholeheartedly endorse Ian's at this time as well, considering his location and clientele, he does a damn fine job

Pretty much my favorite pizza place ever. It's also great for vegetarians cause they offer way more than just a slice of cheese, they even sell vegan slices on thursdays now! The staff is great and will give you the rundown of all the different slices they have available. If you're around this place, go in. If there's a line to the door, wait. It's worth it.

This place has awesome pizza by the slice, and you can't beat the fact that it's BYOB. I went here before a concert at the metro, and it was great. Nice guys work behind the counter and the place always has lots of comfortable tables and booths to sit in. The one thing that I will caveat this with is that I went on a saturday night around 830PM, and there were already drunken guys throwing up on themselves by 9....eh Wrigleyville. Just ignore it. :)

Talk about amazing. There was a period in my life that I avoided Wrigleyville at all costs. While I'm not so picky now, Ian's was the only exception to my anti-Wrigley rule. My boyfriend brought me here one night after a long, long night of imbibing and I was immediately smitten. I got a slice of pizza with cheese, ranch dressing, and sliced potatoes. The pizza with mac and cheese is also priceless and delicious. They even have a vegan pizza night every Thursday. You also can't go wrong with the price, $3.50 for quite a large piece. The staff is also very friendly and will offer to throw in a specific pizza if they don't have the flavor that you want out at that time. They also have excellent pizza for dessert (yes, I said pizza for dessert). The s'more pizza is fantastic. This place gets a little crowded when the bars let out but it's just as good when you aren't tipsy and staggering home. With so many options to choose from, this is a no brainer for a large group or a picky eater.

We were a bit buzzed and mighty hungry. A mere 5 minute walk from my friend's house, we went to Ian's after several people's independent and unsolicited recommendation. We were not disappointed. Unique and tasty. The mac-and-cheese pizza lived up to it's hype. By-the-slice was a great way to try multiple types of pizza and was perfect in allowing us to fill up without leftovers. BYOB was a great way to let us cheaply keep our buzz on our way to the next destination.

As a vegan, this place offers the best truly vegan pizza in the city, hands down. They use Chicago's own "mozzarella" Teese-- one of the best vegan cheeses available. They also use another Chicago based company, Upton's Naturals, for the "pepperoni, sausage" and other fake meats. I am always so tired of having to order a cheese-less pizza that tastes like toast with some artichokes thrown on as an afterthought. Ian's seals the deal for vegan pizza. I also have heard that they are trying to expand their vegan options, so that will be even more awesomer. My fellow meat and dairy eaters have also told me that their regular concoctions are pretty damn amazing also. 1 star less for not having a more extended delivery area/schedule. : (

Ive obviously waited too long to try this place. I was expecting some super crazy delicious stuff. I tried the mac and cheese pizza and the bbq chicken pineapple. Both were good. Not out of this world. Its definitely different. I will add the crust was very good. Service was great. I was greeted and was offered an explanation of all the pizzas. I will go back to get my punch card filled and get my free slice. Yay!

My crazy cravings and I. It's pass 11pm and I'm craving thin crust pizza. Log on yelp, check off places that are still open with highest ratings. Boom, Ian's Pizza shows up. Skim through some reviews of mac n cheese pizza? Myself thinking... hmm, I never been here.. wtf is this place. Picked up some friends and punched in my GPS. After cruising on 94W.. where the crap am i going. When i finally pulled into Belmont and Clark... ohhhh... this is Wriglyville. Ha, I've been in this neighborhood before. I could have took LSD! I'm an idiot and my GPS is an idiot. As we venture in, so many delicious looking thin crust pizza, along with the popular mac n cheese pizza. I didn't feel like standard toppings and they were out of the special (Pancetta). Buffalo chicken and mac n cheese is what I got. They got, some ranch chicken, philly cheese steak, and the spinach mushroom. Wow, this pizza is excellent. It taste just like how its titled. Crispy bottom, and soft on top; this is amazing. With their hours of operation and their delicious variations of toppings and taste, I have a place to goto when I'm craving thin crust pizza.

I love Ian's. My favorite pizza in the city. Just be adventurous and actually try some of the creative pizzas they have, it annoys me when I bring people here and they just get a slice of cheese and pepperoni after I hype it up so much. You won't be disappointed.

So my bf tells me "We have to get this mac 'n cheese pizza this weekend." I'm not real excited about it, but hey, this guy will do anything for ME (I'm lucky, I know it), so I was willing to oblige. "$30 to deliver any pizza," they say, so we place our order and are off to pick it up. No problem. $24 for a MASSIVE pizza. Not a bad deal. He gets in the car with the 'za and immediately, the smell overtakes me..."Holy holy," I say, "That thing smells frickin' fantastic!" So we get home and dive in. HUGE slices covered with macncheesy goodness. And truthfully, it's not like a real pizza cuz there's no tomato sauce. Just a carb-lovers dream of HUGE crusty dough topped with a thick layer of macaroni and cheese, baked to gooey perfection. It was FANTASTIC. So fantastic I crammed another slice down when I knew I was full. But hey, I am a trooper like that. That pizza was dinner for us for two nights. $24 for carbliciousness that lasts two meals? I'm all about it. Know what? I might consider listening to ideas given by the bf from now on. But don't tell him I said that.

I got the buffalo chicken wing pizza... it was spicy and tasty..with blue cheese. I recommend this out of the three we tried. My date got the chicken parmesan, which he thinks is dry. We tried the mac and cheese slice. To us, it was bland. Mushy and salty. I don't enjoy the two together.

Sometimes, I feel like a creature of habit. And. I guess so. If I am along this strip of Clark when I am in Wrigleyville, I will come here. Especially if I am hungry. And, I was HUNGRY this past Friday night. So off we went to Ian's. We walked there and there was a line out the door. No sweat. I wanted pizza and I wanted it now so I stood in it. I am updating the review for this fact. They get an extra star from before. "Why?" you ask. Well I'll tell you why: this line was the most efficient that I have stood in in a very, very, very long time. I was impressed. I was shocked. I was...full, because it only took about 10 minutes maximum to get through the line, where I tried the breakfast burrito pizza (to die for) and my go to favorite, Mac and Cheese pizza. All in all, Ian's can color me impressed because I am.

An unbelievable selection of vegan pizzas, from the Farmer's Market one, which is loaded with fresh veggies, to the Gyro style, with just the right amount of Upton's Seitan. End it all with a slice of their S'mores pizza and you will leave with a full belly and huge smile.

Delicious pizza, especially on those cold Chicago nights after a night of drinking in Wrigleyville. Their innovative toppings and relatively cheap slices make this a win. Not the best pizza I've had, but definately among the most creative. Also this place is BYOB, so make sure you bring along a bottle or sixer of your favorite adult beverages!

Last week I decided I REALLY wanted to try the Mac N Cheese Pizza. Talked to the GF, decided to stay in, watch a movie (Side Note #1: the movie was Son of Rambow, very good BTW) and order the ZA. It was right down the street, so we just decided to pick it up (Side Note #2: I think I was the only customer in the place that was not high.) I apparently just don't know how big is 20 inches (Side Note #3: Get your mind out of the gutter.) There are 2 sizes of Pizza, 12 or 20 inches. Also, the price is based on the number of toppings you order, but if you want one of their MANY specialty pizzas, then it tells you what the number of toppings is, and that's the price (i.e., the Mac N Cheese is listed as a 3 topping pizza, so it costs the price of a 3 topping pizza). The place itself is very small and clean, with about 6 tables, it's fine if you're walking by and you just want to grab a quick slice, but you wouldn't sit in there for more than a couple minutes. I've decided it's my new goal in life to try every single one of their specialty pizzas. (Side Note #4: It's good to have goals. Edmund Hillary had his mountain, I have Ian's Pizza). BBQ Steak and Fries Pizza-Yes! Chicken Burrito Pizza-Yes!

Ian's Pizza is my Chicago version of Champaign's Antonio's Pizza. They are almost identical. Both serve up good, interesting and cheap pizza-by-the-slice. Unlike Antonio's, however, this Ian's location is very small. They also insist upon playing unusually loud music that can be a little off-putting if you aren't a drunk Wrigleyviller. For $3 though, you can't really go wrong. Get a meal-sized slice, some free water and you're good to go. One quick anecdote: the first time my friend and I visited Ian's, someone threw a rock through one of the restaurant's front windows, shattering it completely. It was February. Things got chilly, fast. Gives you a little insight into the area though. Drunk assholes everywhere - be prepared. Luckily, a good Samaritan chased the rock-thrower down though and the police got him. A douche bag arrested and great slice of pizza... perfect night?

Very cool and different pizzas! Mac and cheese pizza is awesome, also they had a vegan pizza with vegan cheese and vegan "meat" very delicious !

Really good New York style pizza with many interesting combinations of fresh ingredients. Ian's really is unlike many other pizza places with their interesting pizza combinations ex. mac and cheese, tortellini, gnochi, bbq, breakfast types of pizza. Little cramped, took a little while to get through the line, but definitely worth it. Will be stopping again soon when I'm near Wrigley.

Alex M.

I really want to like Ian's. It is a place I keep on coming back to hoping it will live up to it's high reviews. I have to admit, it is slightly better after consuming several beers. I'll give Ians credit for being innovative, but I would rather eat a really delicious slice of pizza and a tasty piece of lasagna separately, than a mediocre slice of pizza + a mediocre piece of lasagna. Despite the underwhelming pizza, atmosphere and staff great!

It was my first visit to Chicago and I tried Ian's Pizza on my last night. Though Ian's Pizza is much more like New York style pizza, it was my favorite restaurant from my whole trip... and I ate at a lot of places too! I was sad that the first attempt to go to Ian's was on a Monday night and they were CLOSED! *cry* But the second attempt they were open, and thank goodness they're open late! Too bad they didn't have all the types of pizza other yelpers had recommended -- I really wanted to try their guacamole burrito pizza! Their menu says you can try and request for a pizza if you don't see it, but I'm pretty modest and I'd feel sheepish asking for a pizza, especially late night. I wanted to try the mac n cheese pizza, but since it has so many mixed reviews, I went for what the server had recommended. I got the pizza with pureed kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, and mozzarella. SooOOo good! My boyfriend got the cordin bleu which had bleu cheese, chicken, and ham on it and he was a big fan of his pizza too. If only my bf and I weren't so full from eating out all around the city, we would've loved to have eaten and tried out more pizza slices from Ian's! I have to be brutally honest and say that after living in New York City for a while, I am a food snob and Chicago food just didn't hit the spot for me. BUT... Ian's Pizza. Ian's Pizza hit the spot.

Holy Pizza Heaven. I've been wanting to try out Ian's for quite some time. I was not disappointed. Let's keep it short and simple. The mac and cheese pizza will rock your world. Ask for ranch to dip (if that's your thing). The slices are about the size of your head. You'll be tempted to get 2, but 1 will be just fine.

I went on Sunday after the final Cubs game of the season. They have an impressive selection of inventive pizzas and the prices were reasonable (under $10 for my wife and I to get a slice and a soda). The staff was friendly and the place was clean. All that said, I got the Chicken Alfredo pizza and was pretty disappointed. The chicken and mostaccioli were rubbery and bland, the sauce was light, which to me was the best part and the crust was sinfully boring. I know what you're going to say and yes, I did sample my sister's Mac and Cheese pizza. I liked that a little better but not enough to make me go back if I can avoid it.

Not totally sure what I was expecting--after only scanning the Yelp reviews (I should know better to do some serious investigation) I decided on mac 'n cheese pizza out of boredom and the decided need to expand my food universe a bit. We arrived and the music was BLASTING. I mean, right, most people that roll up in here at 2am were probably just at some place down the street with twice the volume levels, but for a Sunday night, it seemed a little unnecessary. Checking out all the crazy pizzas on display, my man and I weren't sure if they actually served "regular" pizzas with "regular" toppings (and my bad for not asking) but we settled on the mac 'n cheese and bbq steak and french fries pizza. Being even more a pizza purist than I, he was definitely freaked out by his own order. I will say that I liked the bbq sauce--it was tangy and sweet and not too overwhelming, but the french fries were weird and soggy. The mac 'n cheese pizza was, well, mac 'n cheese on bread. Cool concept, but not the best in actual execution--kind of bland, actually. I may or may not feel differently if I was 4 or 5 beers in...but not this time. Maybe I'm slowly turning into a sheltered recluse and every establishment in Wrigleyville really isn't all that bad...or I'm just never drunk enough to be there? Sorry Ian's.

Karen Anne B.

I checked this place out with a group of friends in search of the famed Mac N Cheese pizza. We tried a couple other types too as well as their salads and they were all pretty tasty. You can get a whole pie or buy by the slice. The place itself is a little plain and loud though. It's BYO and we hung out for a bit with our pies and some beers. Also a useful stop after visiting one (or several) of the area bars. : )

Justin R.

Order, eat, repeat until you've had as many kinds as you can stomach. They're all awesome. My wife raved about the green bean casserole. The Mac and cheese is as good as advertised and don miss the chicken and penne pasta. None of them will disappoint.

Tonight I was craving some Pizza so I did a quick Yelp search and Ian's was close by and had good reviews and I wanted to try something new. I found the menu and decided to take Shennelle's advice and ordered up 4 different slices. They told me it would take about an hour for delivery and the food was on my table within 35 minutes. Nice. First up was the El Mexicano (Carne asada, pico de gallo, chips, tomatillo salsa, cheddar). OMG, I tore through this thing in about a minute and a half but if felt like 30 seconds. This thing was awesome and I'll definitely be ordering a full pizza of it in the future. Second came the Papa Bandit (BBQ sauce, potato, bacon2, ranch). Really good but I think the potatos were sliced too thick. I may have liked the pizza more if maybe the potatos were mashed first. Still, overall the taste was pretty good. I only ate about 1/3 of it because I wanted to try the other pizzas. Third was the Spicy Chicken Taco. Also a very good slice, slightly spicy and good taste. Ate about 1/3 of it as well and then started getting full. Since I wanted to save space for that delicious looking brownie I passed up any of the meatlovers pizza but it also looked just as scrumptious. I'm sure it will taste great when I heat up with the rest of the leftovers tomorrow. If you're now wondering why I only gave this place 4 stars instead of 5 it's for the simple fact of the outer crust. It was a bit too chewy/dry for my liking. I'm a huge crust lover and there ya have it. I could have used some more sauce closer to the crust. Or maybe make the outer crust a little butterier. Who knows. Otherwise overall the pizzas were great and like I said earlier, I'm definitely ordering the El Mexicano again. Now for the Brownie... It was Friggin RIDICULOUS Good!!!!!! 'Nuff said.

I went to Ian's because it's one of the few places where you can get vegan pizza. They have a great selection of fake meats and two different types of vegan cheeze to choose from (cheddar and mozzarella). We ordered a 20" with fake pepperoni and mozzarella. The pizza was good, and I especially liked the flavor of the sauce and crust. The fake pepperoni was a little bit dry but tasty overall. I would probably ask for extra cheeze next time too. The big reason that I will definitely be going back to Ian's is their great customer service. They messed up our order and made a 12" instead of a 20". They gave us the 12" for free and re-made the 20" to-go! We didn't have to wait extra or anything, and the employees were exceptionally friendly. Their root beer is also really unique and delicious!

Ian's is fantastic! The pizza choices are great, the taste is fun, and the staff is quick and friendly. I make pizza at home and may have to "borrow" a few recipes - mainly the zucchini and cherry tomatoes; I just wish I knew what cheese they were using. I didn't see the mac and cheese pizza but did see it in a blog thisiswhyyourefat.com ... which should be named this is what is most tasty!

An after hours pizza place on Clark Street in Wrigleyville? No thanks! That place has just gotta be accumulating with punch drunk yuppies and the prissy trixies set! Trust me, I know, I gotta live in this hell hole. But all prejudices aside, this slice of pie haven escapes the curse of Wrigleyville molestation for several reasons: 1) Their pies are tasty, fresh, and oh so creative! Pasta on a pizza? Try the Mac and Cheese pie! 2) The music was dope! Celia, the girl behind the counter, was bumpin' some jazzy beats by Madlib's Shades of Blue album. Oh Celia, you are as the French say, "So cool!" 3) The Decor has humor and personality, completing the wry humor identity of the food, staff, and spirit of the place. I'm sad to say it, but this yelper's found a new pizza joint in Wrigleyville! Sorry Panino's!

I've only had their vegan pizza and it is great! Thy will make you a whole vegan pizza any day of the week. In addition, they also do vegan pizza by the slice every Thursday from opening to 10 pm. All the vegan options I've had are amazing, but I highly recommend the vegan mac and cheese. Other favorites include vegan chili cheeze fry, vegan lasagna, and vegan taco. I've been going here almost every Thursday since they started offering vegan options over a year ago, and thus I am recognized as a regular! Also recommend doing the punch-card system, which will get you one free slice for every ten slices you buy. Oh, and it's BYOB, so stop by the liquor store down the street and pick up a six-pack.

The Chicken Cordon Blue pizza was mighty tasty drunk food. My sober friends also enjoyed their slices. I liked the crust as well. The piece was big enough to be filling, but not overindulgent.

My second favorite pizza place in Chicago (my first being Bacci). It's hard not to go in being that I live in the area and pass by it to and from work 5 days a week. It can get crowded at times, but it's Wrigleyville, so that's to be expected. Mac&Cheese slice is a classic, but I got their special last week of Curried Chicken with roasted red peppers and curried rice. It was amazing.

Tina P.

Stumbled off the plane and desperately needed dinner. Where else would I turn? Yelp on my iphone of course. Around Wrigley field - check! Close to public transport - Check! High rated pizza - Check! Open late - Check! Good pizza by the slice and really unique combination. Lots of preparty and postbar people inside getting a fix. I was personally disappointed this wasn't a Chicago deep dish style place by the slice. I should have read the reviews much closer. But really it was my fault. So big fat warning so you don't make the same mistake - THIS IS NOT A CHICAGO DEEP DISH PLACE.

Cory H.

It's Chicago for goodness sake so the pizza better be damn good! The real thing these guys have figured out is not pizza but PIZZA CREATIVITY. You're not going to get the same old boring toppings here so step up your taste bud game and get adventurous or just keep stepping. If it was just about pizza...this place gets 5 stars. Things got a little out hand when a few Cub fans (feeling good with spirits from the game) decided to turn Ian's Pizza into an UFC match. Yup, a fight broke out in the seating area! Hats off to the crew at Ian's for responding quickly and getting the brawl out of the restaurant and onto the street. It sounds like this kind of thing happens often in these parts so I have to deduct a star. I'm willing to try any kind of topping on my pie but I'm not a fan of knuckle sandwiches.

Jonathan H.

Best slice in town. Weird combinations, but my favorite right now is the BBQ chicken and it has a little ranch on it. Sounds gross, but it's awesome. Staff is real nice too.

Nicole B.

We love the pizza here. We are vegan and love having a delivery option near our house. They give you four toppings and daiya cheese on a medium pizza for only $14. I think we would give it five stars if there were more sauce on the pies and the crust was a little crispier. That said, I am always very satisfied with my Ian's experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for good vegan fare.

Paul B.

I love pizza and am always on the look-out for a good slice. I came upon this joint yesterday (and then again today) and will surely go back next week. They are very creative and their offerings are delicious. The toppings all taste fresh and delicious. I have had the tortellini and the curry chicken pizza and was surprised at how good it was. I am looking forward to working my way down the menu. Even the art on the walls is awesome. There is a water station so you can get you own water without having to ask and get that eye-rolling response from the counter help. Therein lies my first of two negatives. I am clearly (gratefully) not a Wrigleyville 20-something. While the staff does a lot of "cool" bits for the 'locals" they kind of snub me. My money holds the same value as theirs - honest it does. The other negative is they are a bit pricey. $3.75 for a slice of thin pizza is a bit much. There are pizzas of equal quality for far less available all over the city. the others might not be as creative - but if I buy a slice of pizza and am still hungry after eating it - that doesn't bode well for me. I will return - at least until i fill up my punch card - but to get the full five stars - the staff needs to not be as "Wrigleyville cool" and just be "Chicago cool."

Creative toppings at this pizza place which unfortunately has some terrible flavors mixed in with the great ones. My advice is to get two slices of different pizzas.

2.5 stars To start, this Ian's is not as good flavor wise as the one I visited twice in Madison, WI. However, the friendly and fun service, clean and environmental atmosphere is all there. The crust style has nothing to do with Chicago style of any kind and that's a very good thing. The crust is somewhat NY style. The mac and cheese pizza for some reason was not as good as I remember from up in Madison and it was burnt on the bottom. I am eating a reheated slice of mac the day after as I write, and it is just as simple as it was yesterday when I ordered. Ian's pizza is a little too pricey for what it is. I'm not too crazy about the hours. I sometimes want pizza for lunch. I also don't care for the no delivery on game days and the tiny delivery area. I could walk to Ian's in 20 minutes. I understand they are a small business and Wrigleyville is a zoo half the time but, come on guys, either deliver like everybody that does or not at all. We need a Mellow Mushroom Pizza in Chicago. They have the best overall pizza in the country and nothing in Chicago comes close! Of course, it will be very controversial being that it's not a style of pizza and it's from the Southeast, particularly Atlanta, GA. Ian's is ok for late night.

Niki G.

Love, love, love the vegan pizza here! Gooey soy cheese topped with a variety of mock meats! Ahh, to die for! I don't think any pizzeria in Chicago can compare to these babies. Did I mention I love Ian's vegan pizzas??! However, my only complaints -- expensive (then again, what place in Wrigleyville isn't?), hard to park (oh well, take the bus or the el!), and loud like no other inside (they have tv's, radios, and it's always crowded). So consider those things before you hop over, though all in all, it's amazing. Plus, their "pizza sluts" shirts are pretty amusing! ;) As a quick side note, my dining buddy (non-vegan obviously) had the s'mores pizza and while it looked disgusting, he claimed it was great! He also has the macaroni pizza, which he said was 'okay.'

Jenny J.

OMG - I love pizza, I mean I am a NY'er and what NY'er doesn't love pizza...especially the stuff you can fold and eat...none of that deep dish for this NY'er, I want to fold my pizza and eat it! I discovered Ian's after a night at the Wild Hare (review to come later). The line was very long, but a friend said we had to stay and try the pizza, so we did. It was more than worth it! I haven't had pizza this good since living in NY. I had the chicken parmesan and the mac and cheese pizza. So good! I will be back!

Wesley R.

Come for the Mac n Cheese pizza...stay for a slice of S'mores... We popped in here for a late dinner, and it was everything that I thought a Mac n Cheese pizza would be! All the deliciousness of mac and cheese, sitting on top of a slightly thicker than thin slice of pizza dough. I also got to try portions of the Spinach Feta Pesto pizza and the Philly Cheese Steak pizza. Each flavor combination had the right amount of flavor without overpowering your taste buds. Many different ways to get here both private and public transportation-wise (Clark/Addison buses, Red Line). Use your best judgment when the Cubs are in town though.

Gloria E.

A friend of a friend dragged a group of us to this pizza joint after a night of debauchery, and when I got in, I was ready for some of everything EXCEPT the mac and cheese pizza. That one looked the least appetizing, but he promised us it was the way to go for our munchies. We took it to his place, where he pulled out some BBQ sauce, and at first it was weird, but then it was addicting. I actually really love this pizza now, but I need to go back and try the other ones still. The pizzas all looked super-amazing. Everything about the one we got was to my liking, so I look forward to trying their other more regular pizzas. Seriously though, I'm basically here to tell you that if you have the munchies or are pretty sloshed, the mac and cheese pizza is a must!

Day One and Two of my pre-detox "thinking about doing a food detox" early stages have found me in the cuisine company of some of the best worst shit imaginable, with an eye toward "Well...I guess I won't be eating this for a while..." Even Hostess cupcakes and similar shit readily available from gas stations have been involved. Exhibit A: My dinner last night - macaroni and cheese pizza. It's pretty much just globs of mac and cheese spread thickly all over some pizza crust and it is crazy and it is delicious. Utter cheesy carby satisfaction. I also had some of some kind of bacon chicken ranch pizza and a Philly Cheesesteak one that I'm still kind of mad at for giving me heartburn. The mac n cheese was the clear winner. The pizzas are beautiful, gorgeous works of art in a rainbow of colors and flavors are almost limited to anything you can find in a grocery store - a variety of pastas or even french fries can be slopped on there, they make a chocolate one and there are enough veggies and sauces (including creme fraiche and a Greek olive puree - oh shit), that should make anybody happy. People were really friendly, place was really cute and prices were more than decent, especially considering the place is almost literally in the shadow of Wrigley Field - Which really does beg the question: Philly Cheesesteak pizza? Yes. Italian beef pizza (which would clearly be way better according to 3 out of 4 professional eaters)? No.... What? Huh? Whatever. At least that omission will make avoiding this place that much easier. Actually, that was a lie and I wish I'd never met goddamed Ian or his open from 5 pm till "bartime" hours.

Stella J.

If you have not experienced the carbtastic joys of macaroni and cheese pizza, than you should really make time in your life for Ian's. I did not expect to enjoy it, thought it a novelty flavor, but it totally rocked. It was not the goopy mess I expected, bur rather a thin crust pizza with a generous sprinkling of mac & cheese. Why haven't you tried this yet?

Meagan S.

No one makes a better Mac and Cheese Pizza!!!! My mouth is watering just thinking of it.... I have ventured to the Ian's pizza located in Madison about a dozen times over the last 6 years and was thrilled to hear that it had come to Chicago. You can order pizza by the slice at Ian's or just order a whole pizza of your choice (they have a large list of ingredients to pick from). My favorites include the Mac and Cheese, Steak and Fries, and the Chicken Parmesan. For those of you with a sweet tooth, Ian's just started making a delicious smores pizza...I would recommend this if you are hungry for a second piece of pizza. Everyone must try (even if you are are boring and only like cheese, pepperoni, or sausage)!

Michael W.

I had reservations about going into Ian's. As a huge fan of "High Fidelity" - the movie - naturally I have an aversion to ponytail having, pathetic rebound, patchouli-stink pricks who take up with other people's girlfriends. That guy deserves to be cracked in the head with an air conditioning unit for messing with John Cusack. Wait. That's not the same Ian. Oh? Well, then I feel much better about devouring several different styles of delicious pizza including Mac and Cheese, Philly Cheese Steak and Penne Pasta. Even the ones without cool names tasted hot. Great service behind the counter. Yeah, this place is OK despite the fact that I'm a Sox fan and this is a crazy Cubs pizza joint in the distant shadow of Wrigley Field. Yeah, I can ignore that for a great pizza. Besides, it's the off-season. And I get really hungry.

I came here late night after hitting the bars in Wrigley. All I wanted was a basic cheese pizza slice and was pleasantly surprised by the cornucopia of pizza options. I had the barbecue chicken pizza, with chicken, onions and mildly sweet bbq sauce. The slice is put in the oven, and within a few minutes you have a hot, crispy late night meal. The veggie pizza with it's wide assortment of veggies and the spinach goat cheese pizza also looked appealing. The mac and cheese pizza was very popular among the mostly drunk patrons, but I prefer my mac 'n cheese in a bowl.

Thank goodness for this place and their vegan pizza!!! I wish they would deliver late night (stops around midnight or so) but the vegan pizza is awesome and they have a LOT of different toppings you can choose from - all sorts of mock meats and veggies and fun things like french fries and pasta. While they aren't my all time favorite vegan pizza place (Karyn's Cooked + Green beats this), I love their location and the fact that you can even find vegan pizza in Wrigleyville!!! So Check it out!!

I first had Ians when I visited my older brother at University of Madison. He took me there and I fell in love with their mac n cheese pizza. I got so excited when they opened one in Wrigleyville! I just moved to an apartment about a block away and everytime a friend comes to visit I take them to Ians. I love how everytime I go there is something different. I try and get something new every time but it's so hard resisting that damn mac n cheese pizza. A Useful Tip: If you go with a few people, everyone order a different slice and then just pass them around and try them all. My friends and I did this the other day and it was awesome. If it's available, get the slice with the italian sausage and noodles on it. Delicious!

fast, friendly, no frills, byob (although it's all counter service)... creative... maybe a little TOO creative... pizzas of the day included chicken cordon bleu, mac n cheese, lasagna, philly cheese steak, pb and banana, etc. we tested the mac n cheese, feta/spinach/pesto and philly cheese steak. i can personally talk to the first 2 - flavorful but a bit salty and a bit... too much. i appreciate ian's for trying to stand-out from your regular pizza-by- the-slice-joints with their unusual toppings but, with that comes sacrificing perfecting the staples: sauce and crust. it's "fun" pizza, a definite must try, but this pizza snob will stick to the basics.

I don't really like eating out at chains (self proclaimed restaurant snob...but in a good way, I like to think). I just think it's such an adventure to try new places--especially while traveling--that you can't find anywhere else. That, amongst other reasons, is why I try to stick to non-chain spots, especially while on the road or in a new place. Ian's pizza was pretty hopping after the Cubs v. Phillies game at Wrigley Field. Located in Wrigleyville, the writing on the walls at Ian's boasts a friendly atmosphere--encouraging patrons to be nice or leave. You order at the counter--a line which wrapped around nearly the whole restaurant. They had some pretty sweet looking pizzas (however, only one vegetarian variety was available when I was up to order which kind of sucked, but I got it--feta tomato pizza--and it was good). Just after I ordered, a macaroni and cheese pizza was up on the counter so we ordered a slice of that too. It definitely had a nice novelty to it. I specifically checked the take-away menu for a list of other locations. I want to see if this reasonable post-game hang out was unique to Wrigleyville or present other places as well. No other locations were listed and judging by the large one panel comic interpretations of "Ian's World" up on the wall--all including references to the Cubs/Wrigley Field--I figured that this must be a one-of-a-kind Wrigleyville place. The pizza wasn't amazing, but it was good and there were lots of sauces that you could add to top it. It also seems you can BYOB (a group at a table had brought in some 12 packs). It was definitely a cool place to go after the game as it was swarming with fans. It isn't unique to Wrigleyville--there's at least one other location in Madison, Wisconsin. Oh well, that fact doesn't completely burst my Ian's Pizza bubble. It was a good place to go after the game, as I said, filled with fans, and a solid place to tell someone to meet you after the game before hitting the bar scene. PS There's only three of them, so it isn't really a chain monster coming to eat you (and your pizza!)

Mac and cheese good Pizza really good mac and cheese pizza... oh my... let me catch my breath!! Ian's was thee perfect place to go after the holiday bash... If you are a queso lover like me this is heaven! there were only a few slices of the mac and cheese 'za so get there early!

My favorite thing about Ian's is how I never know exactly what's going to be served when I go in. Is it going to be mac & cheese? Or steak and fries? Or barbecue chicken? I never know. And the beauty of Ian's is that I know they are all going to be delicious. I love going here when Cubs games are not going, because it's very laid back and good. But even if you're looking for something right before or after a game, I would recommend it, if for no other reason than the novelty of eating some type of pizza that you have never had before.

i just went here for the first time last night. How is that possible? I've walked by it a million times and never gone in. In fact, I usually get a slice from Pizza-Ria (or whatever it's called now). NEVER EVER AGAIN! I might make special trips to Wrigleyville for this place. It is soo good. Unique slices of thin crust pizza, weekly specials that are pretty sweet (I had a beef stew pizza and it was pretty damn good), and it's under $10. boioioioioiing.

I figured that Ian's Pizza was just another generic pizza place, churning out boring pizza by the slice to legions of drunk Cubs fans. Then one of my friends told me about their Mac N Cheese Pizza. Holy. Crap. The restaurant was just as I had imagined - annoying music not completely drowning out annoying customers. But the menu was not as standard. Along with the Mac & Cheese pizza were a number of very unique pizzas - I'd like to try them all sometime. However, after the first slice of Mac & Cheese there was only one slice that I was interested in having - another slice of Mac & Cheese. And I can even avoid the nose bleed inducing atmosphere (although the staff were great) because they deliver by the slice - and have gloriously late hours.

lets just say I own a very wonderful st. patrick's day "Ian's pizza slut "shirt. It is the only food/restaurant type place that I have bought an article of clothing from so that is saying something. what you need to know: - it ain't fancy, i dont' think I would have ever gone unless someone brought me since I didn't understand the amazing-ness of the pizza here. - it is just as good or better when sober vs. a stop in after the cubs game. - Don't be afraid to ask what the kinds are! they are super nice and a slice that looks strange may turn out to be the best slice you ever had. - if you want mac and cheese and don't see it- ask. (sometimes they have it on the super secret second shelf. - Be adventurous! - my favorite slices: spicy chicken taco, buffalo chicken, smores. oh yes, I said smores- once you have it you will know:) if you get plain pizza here you are missing out (for the record I have never had a regular slice from here!)

I am having a hard time describing this pit-za - it was good, but not memorable. We got 2 flavors - sausage pepperoni, and tomato spinach artichoke. The meat dish was flavorful, pretty good. The veggies... kinda boring really, very bland. Did we just get the wrong toppings? Or is it because we ordered delivery at 7pm, and were not drunk and slobbering yet? Crust was good, but I wish it was more crunchy and less limp. It did the trick for satisfying my pit-za craving, but I don't know that I will go there again. Unless there are some crazy topping suggestions like I've now seen on yelp. Going to keep hitting new places until we find that unforgettable pie!

Oh Ian's I love you so much it's almost inappropriate. When I get out of work at Redmond's at some bizarre hour - I can always count on you to have some amazing pizza that may or may not involve pasta ready to heat up so I can stuff it in my face. And your mac 'n cheese pizza is the bomb diggity. ...Yes I DID just type that.

I hate Wrigleyville. I'll do my best to keep those feelings out of this review, but it's hard. I first went to Ian's in Madison, WI., and their Ian's location is much cooler AND with fewer douchebags. The pizza is still really good though - fun toppings and big slices. There was hardly any seating, though, and the people working there weren't great.

YA BABY this pizza is way num yummy!. For some reason it tastes even better when i'm totally F'ed up on Rum and Diets. My favorite pizza is the Chicken Parm. I would have to say my favorite part is pulling out cash to pay and my GF pulls out 5 stamped cards. She said "You would be surprised how many times we actually come here hammered". Love it!

Yummy in my tummy. Every time I'm in Wrigley I wanna come here and try the pizza, all the drunken foos have the same idea as me. The past weekend there was barely a line at 2:30am. Score!! It was the day I would try Ian's. Sooo many unique choices. I chose the buffalo chicken and something with bacon and bbq sauce. I can't remember. The buffalo chicken was good, but the bacon pizza was awesome. I am taking off a star because they had a water fountain were you can get a cup of water. That water was warm and disgusting. Somebody should really look into that. Anytime I'm in Wrigley I'll make sure to come here.

I've been looking for good non-stuffed pizza in Chicago. And, on the way to another pizza place on the same block, I passed by Ian's and was drawn in by the well-lit red interior, clean graphics and the fact that it shortened the walk to get late night food by half a block. The Space: Clean, red, brightly lit. Fun artwork on the walls. Plenty of tables and chairs. They could use a counter along one of the walls. The Food: The only pizzas ready to go were strange varieties of ingredients. I just wanted a pepperoni. So, it required a short wait, but at least it was hot and fresh! Perfect crust - thin and chewy. Not doughy. Not crackly. The Service: Good. Nothing worth mentioning good or bad.

Unusual concoctions. Fries, BBQ sauce and steak? Mac and cheese? Sliced potatoes and ranch? Whatever was on that pizza, it was good. It was almost like topping my pizza with a side, be it potato salad or the mac & cheese. This would be great for that person who likes to smear their sectioned plate together until all the food is a big plate of mush salad. $3.75 for a decent slice. If your not that adventorus, Bacci's offers a bigger slice for $5 and change. The service was quick, as the pizza was sitting under the heat lamps waiting to be ordered. A quick pop in the oven by the cashier was all it took. The boys behind the counter reminded me of characters you would find in Pinneapple Express. They were down to earth guys who welcomed back the local customer. Kudos for that.

Ok is two huge slices of NY style pizza too much for one woman? I say "no", especially when those oh so heavenly slices are topped with gooey mac & cheese and potato, and bbq sauce. What a fabulous meal. BYOB for a pizza joint too seems almost unheard of but its true - you can bring your brew with you to Ian's! Though I do love this Madison import there were just a few things I wasn't crazy about - the buffalo chicken pizza (sadly blue cheese just tasted weird on this slice) and the ordering (when it's busy there needs to be some sort of calm to this chaos -- labels for what the slices are would definitely help things out behind the counter).

Pizza

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.

Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.

Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20^th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
