Best pizza in the city, affordable, great date night/work event atmosphere. A true Chicago staple with some of the best service in the city!
Forno Rosso is a gem! Their pizza is legit - you can tell they're using fresh ingredients, and the crust has that perfect wood-fired crisp. The vibe inside is warm and inviting, making it easy to settle in and enjoy a night out. Their drink menu is solid too - great wine options that pair perfectly with the pizza and a nice selection of cocktails to kick things off. Friendly staff, quick service, and honestly some of the best Neapolitan pizza I've had in the area. Highly recommend if you're a pizza fan looking for something authentic!
Simply amazing pizza. Being vegetarian, I always need help. The staff is very helpful. Good place to sit outside. Loved the experience.
Food was delicious!! Was there several times and it is very much like Italy !! Great crust and not a sweet sauce !
finally got to try forno rosso right on our doorstep in west loop the caputo cup is winning pizza was definitely the better of the two pizzas ordered (the other was prosciutto and arugula) but still behind spacca in terms of crust and pizza variety they have a lovely patio and would be a great place for a friends gathering in the summer Service was friendly and straight to the point.
Italian friend said this is his favorite restaurant so it's a must try if you wanna try legit Italian pizza. Burrata:really soft bread with thick chunks of of cheese. It's good but kinda pricey for a thin bread Squash porchetta white sauce pizza: today's special pizza. A bit on the sweet side. Unique and Halloween flavor I guess Sausage onion prosciutto pizza: good flavor and on the salty side which I like Tres carne pizza: meat lovers favorite I assume Nutella pizza dessert: interesting dessert pizza with Nutella filling Coppa pistachio: lots of pistachios on top with gelato in a cup. Very Italian style. Limoncello martini: not my favorite limoncello drink. More like watered down limoncello Waiters are nice and you can see lots of Italians here so you know it's legit
First time trying this west loop pizza place and we loved it! They are a dog friendly patio and they all love dogs! They brought him his own water dish and everyone wanted to say hello. A lot of the servers were Italian and they were so nice and warm and inviting from the first moment we stepped in. This restaurant has a selection of appetizers, one pasta and all the rest is pizza. Lots of selections between red and white pizza and it's all Neapolitan style which is one of my favorites after visiting Naples. We got the Gnocchi and one pizza to split and it was the perfect amount of food. The crust was slightly chewy and delicious and they are very accommodating with topping requests. Such a great place, we would love to return.
