Pizza Matta

Super GemLogan Square · Pizza (Tavern-Style)/Ice Cream Community-sourced, unverified
📍 3211 W Armitage Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Pizza Matta is a side project from Giant's own owners, Jason Vincent and Josh Perlman, working alongside Giant staffers Mike Gaia, Daniel Jeffrey, Patrick Ruffalo, and Nia Jones — opened in 2023 in the former Sweet Shot Cookies space, built around the same Giant sensibility that's made the team's original restaurant a Logan Square fixture.

Slagel Family Farm meats on a tavern-style crust — the kind of local sourcing that actually changes how the pizza tastes, not just how it's described.

It leans takeout and delivery first, but it's not counter-only: there's a handful of bench-seat booths for anyone who wants to eat pizza-slice-in-hand rather than haul it home. Called by some reviewers the best tavern-style pizza in the entire Chicago area, it also runs a build-your-own NY-style pie alongside the tavern-cut squares, plus soft-serve ice cream for dessert.

Holds a 4.4-star rating, and the team has fun with the menu — themed pies tied to Bears opponents have shown up during football season. No discount or happy hour here; it's a straightforward counter-and-a-few-booths pizza spot riding on ingredient sourcing (Slagel Family Farm meats) rather than a deal.
