Brookfield​のベストピッツェリア

Staff was friendly. Food delicious. Drinks spot on.

My husband and I have moved to the Asheville, NC area and only come back to the Chicago area once a year to see family. We have been missing Quartino, especially because they can accommodate my lactose intolerance. This year, we decided that we had to go to downtown Chicago just so we could go the Quartino and Eataly. It was even worth the horrible traffic getting downtown!

Three of us dining, ordered two pizzas and salad, and shared. It was plenty. The pizzas (we had one white and one yellow) were very good. The fungo in white was great. The salad had everything we like and was large enough for 3-4 people. Both pizzas were prepared as expected, based on the techniques advertised, and were really good - thin dough except for the outer crust, cooked completely without being dry or crunchy. Edges properly "burned and blistered". Service was excellent, but we were literally the first customers of the day. It was our first visit, and our server was informative, polite and patient.

Pizza Portofino is one of my favorite spots in the city. The garlic bread and truffle pizza (request hot honey, trust me) are GAME CHANGER. I went with a few friends and we all agreed that they both redefined garlic bread and pizza (at least in Illinois) respectively. Great service and great vibes!
