I’m afraid that I gotta take my 4 stars down to 3 for now... We’ve just loved dining at Craft since they opened a few years ago. Our ‘Go To’ pizza & salad in the ‘hood. But that was in the days b4 the Age of COVID. We’ve been carrying out from Craft pretty frequently the past few months, and I’d have to say that the pizza has not been as good. We’ve been increasingly disappointed. The sauce is still spectacular... still fresh, quality ingredients, but seems like far less cheese & toppings, usually in clumps and not distributed evenly. The crust is still good, but seems sloppily prepared, it’s inconsistent in thickness and sticks mercilessly to the box. The champagne vinaigrette is still awesome! But less variety of mixed greens and other fixins’. I know you’re busy, don’t rush it and be so sloppy, slow down and do it right. You are slightly higher in price than other pizza joints in the ‘hood, but we’re willing to pay for quality. We love your staff, but we’re gonna make a switch back to some of the olde standards in the ‘hood for a while... We’ll likely be back to check in, but there is a lot of good pizza to be...
Read moreVisited 2/10/23 around 6:00pm. Had the “Hipster” which came with arugula and prosciutto. Craft offers specialty pizzas with pre-determined toppings or you build your own. Pies come in 14 or 18 inch sizes. Place was not overly busy with customers but employees were busy slinging pizzas left and right. Looks like they do tremendous carry out and door dash business.

For drinks, you can BYOB or they have a Jones Soda soft drink dispenser. Pizza was fresh, piping hot and absolutely delicious. It is not the deep dish “Chicago” style that many are accustomed to but it more like “New York” style with foldable crust that is crisp but also chewy. We thought it was great and loved it. Never been there before but glad we did and would definitely go back on our next...
Read moreThis is maybe one of the only pizza places where I have ever stated that I needed to return on a regular basis, and I mean it in the most sincere way possible. The fact that it has been a long time since I have actually eaten here does not detract from the fact that this restaurant represents everything that I love about Chicago ever since my friends and I moved here. It's not particularly flashy, but the inside was comfortable, and the vibe was excellent, you can definitely come just for its relaxing vibes . Once you step inside, you'll undoubtedly appreciate the ambience. Although the Amore Pizza was great, it could not compare to my all-time favorite pizza here, the Wicker Pork Pizza, which I had ordered the day before. Nonetheless, the experience was enjoyable. To top it all off, the service was nothing short of outstanding. Without a doubt, a...
