Vito & Nick's Pizzeria · Chicago
South Side tavern-thin institution slinging square-cut sausage pizza since 1946
Why we recommend Vito & Nick's Pizzeria in Chicago
Vito & Nick's is the definition of a Chicago tavern-thin institution. The Barraco family tavern lineage dates to a 1923 tavern, and the pizza began in 1946 at this South Side address, where it has stayed ever since. That longevity earned it a spot in the Pizza Hall of Fame. The signature is the original Sicilian-recipe thin-crust sausage pizza: cracker-thin, cut into squares in true tavern style, loaded with house Italian sausage. If you want to taste the Chicago thin crust the way generations of locals know it, this is the source.
What to expect in the room and on the menu
