Pizano’s Pizza & Pasta blends classic Italian recipes and fresh takes on traditional fare in one satisfying menu. The son of Pizzeria Uno founder and deep dish creator Rudy Malnati Sr., Pizano’s owner Rudy Malnati Jr. knows what makes an Italian dish truly delicious; high-quality ingredients, authentic recipes, and excellent service. Bowls of seafood marinara and chicken alfredo share menu space with bubbling deep dish pizza and Pizano’s award-winning thin crust pizza, a favorite of critics and visitors alike, including Oprah Winfrey, who featured the restaurant on her show. Located in the heart of Jeweler’s Row, the Madison Street location embodies historic Chicago dining, as timeless songs by Sinatra and Martin fill the air while diners gaze at numerous photos of famous athletes and entertainers line deep, rich wooden walls.

Food was fantastic and very similar to when we last visited a few years ago. The server on the other hand was horrific. Server would be a stretch in terms of definition. The manager came over to us a few times and offered to help with getting drinks, appetizer, a glass for the drinks and etc. We sat for at least 20 minutes before being acknowledged and it went downhill from there. When the manager asked the waitress what we were waiting on she simply replied, "they just need drinks" and walked away. Comical at best. We had great food, and I do not want to take away from the restaurant food quality / atmosphere and value due to one employee, but it also should be known there was a gap here for sure. Downtown / Madison Street location.

Food and service was good. But they sat our group directly in front of the door on a cold night. We had to continuously get up from our table and fully close the door to keep the cold air from us. I understand there weren’t other tables to move us to. But in general they shouldn’t seat anyone there. Literally the worst seats in the restaurant. A disappointment as we brought guests from out of town there.

We were with family for an early Christmas celebration. We ate downstairs as it’s not as hectic and noisy. We were the only ones there and it was perfect. This is our third year of meeting there and we all enjoy it. Our waitress was accommodating and pleasant. The food is good. My husband loves the authentic Chicago Italian beef and two of us had the ravioli. All was delicious. You can’t go wrong here!
