Pat's Pizza and Ristorante

We walk in and Sarah says "it smells good in here". There is only one way to start a Chicago pizza experience and that is with a light beer and a salad. We decide on the Antipasto Salad which is basically a charcuterie board in a salad format. So obviously, yum yum yum. I was feeling a Margherita Pizza mood, however, I was slightly debilitated on deciding if the red onion that is advertised on this pizza would counteract the deliciousness of the za. Never in my life have I been so wrong. Number one, I am renaming this a Bruschetta Pizza because all of the traditional bruschetta toppings are diced and sprinkled on this pizza. Making the red onion effect so minor. I am very into this flavor, and the crust is so thin and crackery I barely count it as calories and am pretty sure I can finish the entire pizza if I put my heart and soul into it. Service could be so much more enticing to tourists and Chicago locals if they were to talk about the history and how they make the pizza. Chicago locals know this place, but I feel if they wanted to they could really amp up the history to make Pat's name more well-known.

Wild women of Borneo love to eat Pat's pizza. Throw Free Willy on the big screen and enjoy some of this spicy pizza pie (said in Italian guy voice). Don't forget how underrated donuts are people. So why don't you go enter the space Olympics and throw the space javelin with the motion of a pitcher from the 1890s. 5 stars

Their thin crust pizza is phenomenal; it's so good I got it yesterday and today. Its so thin that technically it's healthy. I got their sweet pepper and jalapeño twice. I like spicy.I would recommend it to all my friends. Their fried ravioli is a tasty appetizer. The chicken tenders didn't travel well but will try them next time I dine in.

Confession: I sometimes watch YouTube videos about a restaurant six months in advance. I've been researching Pat's for a very long time, and my wife and I finally drove to Chicago from Westfield this weekend. I'm not saying we drove three hours just for this pizza, but...A year ago, I never knew that Chicago thin crust was such a huge thing, but I certainly know now. I won't do my usual breakdown of the food, ambience, and service. The truly great restaurants don't need all that detail. I'm just going to say that this was by far the best thin crust I've ever had. Maybe even the best pizza, ever. It's that good. The crust is literally paper-thin, like a cracker, but still strong enough to hold the toppings. Phenomenal ingredients as well. To say I'll be back here would be an understatement. I'm planning my next trip as we speak.

This review is hard for me because the food was delicious. The service sucked. Walked in and seated at 745Bus boy brought us water, but no one asked us if we wanted drinks. Finally a waiter came (after we asked @ 751). We were told by host that the waiter was new, but we saw he was very attentive to a table of 6 that were there already seated and serve. Two couples came in us after us and were attended to before us. They had another waiter, but still that was disappointing. First dish burrata salad came out at 806 (brought out by another server)Soups came out at 815Pasta scallop pesto came out at 817 (brought out by another server) Pizza came out at 818 (brought out by another server)Our server came and checked on us at 830Another server came to check on us after We are now done at 8:45. Another server came to ask us if we wanted a box, and packed our food. Our waiter finically came with bill and that was it. I understand being new but if that's the case they need to train better. Like I said the food was delicious though, but not sure if I want to go back because of the service.

This was a delicious dinner. We got the Pat's special pizza, antipasto salad, and grilled calamari. The pizza had the perfect thin crust. I also loved the antipasto salad which was overflowing with toppings. Finally the grilled calamari was amazing as well. It was flavorful, garlicky, and the perfect texture.

I ordered a Pepsi. I expect a Pepsi. That's what's in their menu. That's what's on my receipt.Also their gnocchi came with garlic bread. That wasn't clear when I ordered. I would not have ordered garlic bread.

Some of the most unique and delicious thin crust pizza you'll have anywhere in Chicago. I highly recommend it. The staff is always friendly and the service is always good! The dining room is quaint and clean and comfortable.

Used to love. Want to continue to love. Love is lost.At some point a few years ago they changed their thin crust so it's still very thin but the toppings - including sauce and cheese - immediately separate from the actual pizza. And it's been overcooked our last three visits/orders.Beyond pizza, huge menu - possibly too large to do it all well. Steak fries slightly underdone but otherwise solid. Bread fantastic. Salads from 2002. Restaurant itself is not memorable but is clean which is appreciated. Easy first floor spot on Lincoln Ave.Lovely staff, appreciate its commitment to the neighborhood. Just isn't hitting the mark in the on-demand way it used to.

Came in at around 2PM on a Sunday and had no wait. Me and my boyfriend were promptly greeted at the door and seated at a booth. We read about a lot of deep dish places in Chicago but a lot of them also highly Recommended the thin crust pizza from Pat's which did not disappoint. The pizza came out extremely quick and the service here is amazing. My water never reached the bottom of the glass and empty plates were quickly taken away. We also ordered the fried ravioli to start and it came with five giant pieces and this amazing tomato salsa. The cheese inside was fresh and hot. The pizza itself was also amazing and I would definitely prefer a thin crust to a deep dish, especially after trying this place.
