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.

    Reservation was 40 minutes delayed. Hostess was less than helpful and made it seem like we were the inconvenience. I understand restaurants are busy this time of year, but that is why I made a reservation 2 months in advance for my group. Waiting up to 20 minutes is understandable, but 40 is unacceptable and points to poor planning on the restaurant’s part. Thankfully the wait staff was excellent and made up for the poor service up front.

    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.
