Pie-Eyed Pizzeria

Super GemRiver West · Pizza (deep dish & slice) Community-sourced, unverified
📍 1111 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60642

Pie-Eyed Pizzeria has been a River West fixture since 2004, run by brothers Evan and Ian Muellner with their mother Sandy still making the meat toppings twice a week — the kind of family-operation detail that explains why a 21-year-old neighborhood pizzeria just landed at #3 on Fodor's Travel's list of the best pizza slices in the entire United States for 2026, on top of Food Network separately naming it Illinois' best slice in 2025.

Fodor's Travel's #3 pizza slice in the entire US (2026) and Food Network's best slice in Illinois (2025), plus a rotating monthly specialty pizza

The deep dish and slice program both hold up, and Time Out specifically calls out the giardiniera as the move.

The kitchen keeps things interesting with a rotating Pizza-of-the-Month program — 'The Zombie,' 'The Frankensteiner' with Peppadew peppers — available across regular, gluten-free, or vegan crusts, so the regulars always have a reason to come back even after two decades.
