Paula & Monica's Pizzeria

The pizza is incredible, but I think pricing seemed quite odd, and a tad expensive. It was $19.95, and I paid about $24.48 after taxes. That doesn't seem right? MEAT LOVER'S PIZZA: There's about 8 slices, so can easily feed 2, but keep in mind that this is a thin crust pizza. This was recommended to me by the person who picked up the phone. Good portion of meat and definitely well seasoned and flavorful. Pro or Con depending on your preference: I prefer when I pick up a thin slice, that I can easily fold it or hold it up right without everything falling out. They did this well! If I'm in a crunch or really feeling meat loving, I'm probably going to come back.

Recently did a pizza by the slice tour in my neighborhood of West Town and Paul & Monica's was one of my designated stops on the trip. Of the pizza joints visited, this probably had the highest reviews and therefore my highest expectations. Each joint on my tour was takeout and cheese pizza only.This joint is definitely a NY Style pizza place. The pizza was really good. But floppy slice and all. I've stated in other recipes that I'm not a fan of soggy pizza, but I'll say even though NY style is floppy, it's not the same as soggy. This pizza still had some substance - something hearty to the crust. There was a good balance of soft, chewy, and crisp to it. It was the perfect balance. The sauce and cheese were also good.The only reason I'm not going for the 5 stars is the slice was $9!! Yikes! That was a shocker. I might not have bought the slice, had I not been on this pizza slice journey. I also wonder if maybe whole pizzas aren't as highly priced and maybe it was just a slice thing. I'll have to look into it for next time.

I wanted something a little different than the pizza I usually order so I took a chance on this place and I am so glad I did. Just might be my new go-to! I only ordered one pizza so I can't say how any of the other food is but I highly recommend this place if you are looking for thin crust pizza.

[COVID-19 Delivery Review]If you are looking for some greasy thin crust NY style pizza, this is the place to get it!We ordered pizza from Paula and Monica's Pizzeria during the COVID-19 Stay at Home Guidance. The pizzas were pretty large (we ordered one 10" pizza and another 14" pizza between the two of us! We had hungry eyes!!). We had a lot of yummy leftovers. No complaints here!

Ordered delivery of pizza and cannolis. Both were v good! Got half cheese and pineapple and jalapeños on the other half. The cheese is def a little gooier than most, but that's alright! The cannolis were so good as well, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. I would def order from here again!

Fantastic pizza. In fact, the" "best" pizza in Chicago. Favorite place to order pizza for delivery. Thank you!

As I sit reflecting on my pizza experience from yestereve, I feel compelled...nay.. obligated to write this review to give back to the Yelp community from which I so often take. I am not a prolific Yelp reviewer, this is no secret. But when I write a review you can believe that it comes from the heart (my stomach), and it is intended to help my fellow Yelpites. It was Friday night, and my partner and I were looking forward to a different kind of date night. Different from the pizza we've ordered every Friday night since the ides of March. Then it struck me..what If we took a little trip to New York? New York style pizza is not a common pizza format in Chicago for unknown Deep seeded reasons. I went straight to Google to ask "where is the best NY style pizza in Chicago?". I found an answer from some rando that pointed me to Paula and Monicas. With a candidate pizzeria in mind, I drove my internet browser directly to Yelp to see what other Yelpers thought of this place. And here is where the rubber hits the road, as they say. I noticed multiple one and two star reviews.. I'll be honest, I was almost scared off my order! Woah, courage was required to place this order; and the order was placed. 14" thin crust, cheese bread, and canoli. I had measured expectations, since I give great credit to my fellow Yelperians. The food was absolutely delicious. The pizza hit the spot and was the right balance between thin and thick crust. One note would be to have it slightly more well done for my preferences but I'll adjust my order next time. The garlic cheese bread was a treat with a tangy, flavorful marinara dipping sauce we appreciated. Finally the canoli was super dank, half was dipped in chocolate and the filling was so rich and creamy. I would order 2 for next time. The point of this review is to say, you can't always trust low reviews, you need to believe in yourself sometimes and trust that those people just had a bad experience. I'm sure Paula or Monica would make it right if it happened to you.

This is delicious 'za, one would say. I'm in a love affair with pizza. Always have been, always will be no matter what! I enjoy all types of pizza pies. With that being said when co worker wanted to enjoy some pizza, of course I joined the fun with her. The first time I enjoyed was about a month ago, I ordered personal pan with pineapple and jalapeño. HEAVEN ON MY TONGUE. Yuuuumm...The ingredients definitely had a fresh taste. The crust was good! I ate all my crust which is a big deal because I'm a crust snob. Overall This pizza got a 5 out of 5, no complaints!The second time was today. The team decided we all wanted pizza again yay. Someone suggested chicken & jalapeño, I said hmmm...I usually hate chicken on pizza but it might be good w/ the jalapeños. Then I saw the option for " hot pepper" and decided on that. This pizza would up being thin crust, and I was pleasantly surprised!!! Whatever is better than heaven on your tongue, their thin crust is that. Especially when hot!!!! This pizza got a 6 out of 5. And yes, like the other tips/reviews have said it is definitely a New York slice style! I'm gunna go out on a limb and say it's my new favorite pizza place. Definitely worth a try.

Worst pizza I have ever had.So greasy it was fluId. Impossible to get a slice separated without The Whole top sliding off.Ugh, tossed it out after 2 slices

Amazing service. The Cannoli desert is authentic and amazing! I would definitely come back again when I'm in the Chicago area
