Best Pizza Bars in Calumet Heights

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had lunch at Zarella yesterday and really enjoyed it! We tried three different tavern-style pizzas with different toppings, and all three were excellent. My favorite was the pepperoni and sausage, but you really couldn’t go wrong with any of them. Our waitress, Evan, was wonderful. She was so sweet, friendly, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. One tip: definitely make reservations before going. This place is really popular and always packed, and it’s easy to see why once you try the food. If you’re planning a trip to Chicago, put Zarella on your list. It’s definitely worth a stop, especially if you love a good tavern-style pizza. We’d absolutely go back!

Everything was delicious - we had the focaccia (I’m so glad I learned not to skip it from other reviews. It’s out of this world!) chopped salad, a pizza with pepperoni and garlic, and the cannoli pie. Left absolutely stuffed but it was worth it!

Marcey and I returned to Labriola for yet another delicious lunch. We both ordered the shrimp scampi, which was perfectly cooked and so flavorful that neither of us said much until the plates were clean. We also split our usual salad. At this point it's tradition, and we truly cannot eat here without it. It's fresh, crisp, and delicious. We sat outside on the beautiful café patio on another perfect Chicago day. Wonderful food, lovely company, and gorgeous weather are hard to beat. A special thank-you to Jeremy, the manager, who was so sweet and welcoming. He's one of the reasons we keep coming back. We'll see you again soon!

The spot is a little gem in Hyde Park. Our group of five enjoyed the great food, chill vibe and wonderful service. Five stars !

Wings and pizza were spectacular! Super fun outer space vibe without being gimmicky! Cant wait to go back 🥰
