Prof Pizza was recommended by the Sports Anchor for WGN News 9 as having the best Tavern Style Pizza in Chicago... and he was right. A very nice place with great food and impeccable service; especially Mary Kate(the manager) and Brittany (our server), who were not only warm and accommodating , but made a good evening special. Definitely a repeat.

The food was very good (although l was hoping for better). The service was excellent, friendly and attentive but not overly obtrusive. Our server was very good, knowledgeable about the menu.

A lot to like in this neighborhood pizza restaurant. Great location, lots of street parking ($5 for 2 hours), huge space with a soaring ceiling and attractive bar, TV for sports along the bar, sparkling clean, superb and rapid service. The food winners: I'd go back for the fluffy garlic knots which are unrivaled in chicago or virtually anyplace else. Magic in that kitchen! Solid thin crust pizza billed as New York style and in that direction but not quite thin enough to match...
