Pizza Dada

Super GemThe Loop · Pizza Community-sourced, unverified
📍 125 S Clark St (Sterling Food Hall), Chicago, IL 60603

Pizza Dada proves a food-hall slice stall can still be a destination rather than just a convenient lunch option — it's run by the team behind Table, Donkey & Stick, the respected Logan Square neighborhood restaurant, with pizzaiolo Steve Owens actually making the pies rather than a commissary kitchen phoning it in.

The grandma slice — thick, square, pan-baked — was named one of a former Chicago Tribune dining critic's ten favorite Loop bites of the year, alongside a vodka roni slice built on crisp pepperoni cups and rich vodka sauce.

Ten slice varieties rotate through, thin enough not to sag under their own weight, with the vodka roni (crisp pepperoni cups, basil, rich vodka sauce, Parm) and a white pie (garlic, basil, ricotta, lemon) drawing the most repeat orders. The grandma slice — thicker, square, pan-baked — is the one a former Chicago Tribune dining critic specifically called out as one of his ten favorite bites from an entire year spent eating through the Loop, a genuinely competitive list to make.

Slice service runs a tight midday window (11:45am-1pm); outside that, it's whole pies only, so know which kind of visit you're planning before walking up to the counter. Sterling Food Hall also houses 82 Kimbap and Seedo's Levantine Bakery (both worth their own trip) — a single visit here can cover three distinct, serious food stalls in one stop.
