Without being said, there's a lot of pizza to choose from in Chicago. Piece is excellent and a much needed change from your traditional Chicago thin crust and deep dish. It only ranks behind Renaldi's on Broadway. The beer is amazing, I've never had a bad appetizer, and there are tv's everywhere. Unlike finallife2004's experience, I always get a the feeling that the staff rather be anywhere else besides Piece. Regardless, so long as there's good food, beer, and entertainment I couldn't care about a few slightly disgruntled workers.

Th bar at Piece is a great place to get drunk and watch any game that is one, especially during any big games. The pizza has a very crunchy crust and a lot of flour or that white power on the bottom and top of crust. The workers are amazingly nice and always seem to have a smile on their face no matter how busy it gets. Pros: Beer and Pizza Cons: Parking

The first time I heard of this place was on one of Rachael Ray's Food Network shows. She was interviewing part owner of the place, Cheap Trick's very own Rick Nielsen, and filmed the the majority of the show inside the place with a live audience. Anyway, I decided to try this place out sometime back in the Fall of 2006. Now, the first time was an awesome time. The pizza was great and their award winning home brews were the best beers that I've ever tasted. The 2nd & 3rd time there weren't so great., the 3rd visit being recent (6/2/07). Basically, it's live band Karaokee night on Saturdays (no, sorry you're not singing with Cheap Trick) and it's a free-for-all for tables. The staff just shuts down on you and don't even bother saying that the kitchen service is closed after waiting 20 minutes (which is around midnight-ish). Parking is a disaster on weekends (or on any day come to think of it) too. I'm not sure what else to say about this place. I like the pizza, nice thin crust, but it's no Lou Malnatti's. The beer is top notch and should be distributed like Goose Island does with theirs. And their "Chololate Pizza" which was also featured on Rachael Ray's show is really something to try...that is if you still can stomach a whole other pizza =). Bottom line, take the Blue Line to Damen and come here and "pregame" (come here before going out for the night). Come for the beer, stay for the pizza and (on Saturdays) the obnoxious crowds singing with the live karaokee band. Pros: Live band karaokee, BEST home brewed beer, good pizza Cons: PARKING, Overrated, overcrowded, declining service, bad singers that come sing on Saturdays =)

This place is NOT WORTH IT!! A group of 8 came to Chicago for some good food and fun! We went in an was told an hour, which turned into 2 and 1/2 hours. We spent well over $300 and the pizza wasn't that great, and the management did nothing for us for waiting well over an hour and a half for our quote time.. In fact, he made our experience about 1000 times worse. If you have time and money to waste, this is your restaurant! I will never ever step foot in that place called Piece again.

Not your typical deep dish Chicago place...Piece is about New Haven style pizza which is thin and red sauce is an option. Pizza was good. Service was casual and friendly. Great beers (they brew themselves). I would recommend for a casual pizza and beer place or to catch a game. Pros: Great home brewed beers and pizza

The pizza here is great! If you're from the east coast, you'll love love love it! And the brews....outstanding! They win awards it's so good! Weekend nights, don't even bother. Last weekend the wait was 2 hours! I mean, it's good, but a 2 hour wait? I've been on weekends for lunch, and it's totally do-able. The service can be a little slow at times, but overall it's good. Go for the pizza! Or get the takeout special on Sundays......

Brutal, snobby service. They won't take reservations unless you know someone who works there, so your average wait on the weekend will be 2 or more hours. Not worth the wait and attitude you have to put up with. Many better pizza options in the city with friendly servers and atmosphere.

Piece is a must try for NY-style pizza lovers, like me. I used to swear by Santullos (just a few steps away), but I'm sold on Piece's New Haven-style of thin crust. It's slightly chewier, but still very crisp. In addition, the dough is more flavorful than the thin of most other pizza joints of any style in Chicago. The atmosphere in Piece is fun and pub-like. This is a great place for a casual night out with friends, as long as loud music is ok.

I'm from NY, and when I was visiting family in Chicago, my cousin brought me here for lunch. I was SO impressed with the food! We didn't get pizza, but we did get some amazing homemade salsa and tortilla chips, and the best ceasar salad of my life (I didn't think a salad could be so amazing, but it was). I'm relocating to Chicago next year and I'm looking forward to frequenting Pieces! An added bonus, the neighborhood is very cute, and we had extremely friendly service. It wasn't super fast, but we did get smiles from the waitress. Pros: Delicious food for all types, great atmosphere Cons: Slightly slow service, but worth it anyway
