Pat's Pizza and Ristorante 7.8
Lincoln Park
Vibes: Comfort Food Classics Family Friendly Favorites Group Dining Gatherings Cheap Eats Budget Brilliance
Family-run since 1950, Pat’s is a cornerstone of Chicago tavern-style pizza, serving ultra-thin, square-cut pies alongside a full Italian menu. The room feels more like an old-school neighborhood restaurant than a modern pizzeria, and regulars lean on it for reliably crisp pies and red-sauce comfort.
