The deep dish pies are topped with a housemade sausage , banana peppers , green & black olives , sliced tomatoes & more. Reservations are a must so be sure to call ahead so that your pie’s ready.

Erik Rowley

One of the best pizza places in Chicago, love the caramelized crust on the deep dish and the homey dive atmosphere. Burt also owned Pequod’s so pizzas are very similar. Anthony Bourdain also ate here!

Serious Eats

Extra sauce? Extra cheese ? Yes please! Although Burt's pizza is great as is, all the extra options are most definitely a plus! Read more

Serious Eats

Extra Sauce, Extra Cheese : Burt's pizza is plenty delicious as is, so most people don't feel the need for extra sauce or cheese . But with the extra sauce and cheese , it is simply magnificent.

Jeff Early

Best Chicago deep dish , ethereal crust. How is this so light? Any other DD pizza joint you are ready to stop at 1 piece you will not take home any Burt's pizza . Best in Chicago.

Serious Eats

Burt's specializes in pan pizza , which features a focaccia-like crust and a ring of caramelized cheese around the exterior. It's as great as it sounds.

Men's Health Mag

Don't miss the spinach , tomato , and garlic pie. Cheesy and hearty, with a bit of crunch in the crust and a tomato sauce that's flavorful, slightly acidic and sweet without overpowering the toppings.

Jonathan Locker

Sitting out on the patio is wonderful. They even have the heaters for the fall. The pizza is great.

If you didn't call ahead, you're screwed. You need to follow the rules - it's worth coming back for!

Travel Channel

Absolutely AMAZING Chicago style 'za! If you like pequods , Burt used to cook there and has brought their cast iron cooking style with him!

Serious Eats

At Burt's demand surpasses supply. Call during regular business hours (there's no answering machine), and let them know what you want and when. You eat some truly outstanding pizza . Read more

Absolutely delicious! Call ahead for reservations and bring cash.

David Jordan

Burt's oven is full, there may be seats in the room but no room in the oven. Follow the rules and you'll be fed the best pizza in Chicago.

Travel Channel

I don’t know that I’d call it ”pizza .” Whatever Burt’s selling is something special. Some kind of crusty, tomatoey, cheesy casserole something with delightfully fresh toppings . – Anthony Bourdain Read more

Vicky Kujawa

Burts is the best pizza place in Chitown. Pizza speaks for itself

KT Doyne

Ask about what veggies they have fresh that day. Very good pizza and people. Call ahead is a must.

Finbar Valino

When making reservations you are expected to place your order right then or you can't make the reservation . Your food will be ready as soon as you arrive.

Maurys Matienzo

Amazing place! Like Remy said "probably some of the best pizza on the planet"

Finbar Valino

Call ahead to make reservations . The place is really small and you can get turned away if you just decide to walk in.

Melanie Solomon

They do allow you to modify reservations !

Jason Spiegel

Place is out of touch with neighborhood customers,they want you to wait 3 hours for a pizza and you have to call in days in advance to place the order or dine in,rather go to Pequod 's or Gullivers

Finbar Valino

This place is a dive. Don't expect a "classy " eating experience but do expect a great pizza and friendly service .

Rémy Thenot-Siegel

a hole in the wall with probably some of the best pizza on the planet.go for the pizza , not the decor or ambiance.

Brian Gallagher

Bathroom like a POW camp, but a one-of-a-kind joint nonetheless.

Mag M.

Worst pizza ever! Bring cash, they don't accept cards . Sidenote- i thought i was going to get killed and baked into the pizza .

Dina Lindemann

I'm sorry but a sit down restaurant that can't accommodate walk-in guests when the place is empty and is rude about it on top of that? I don't care how good the pizza is. I will not be back.
