Side Street Saloon is one of my favorite taverns in the city. It’s a classic, old school neighborhood bar with very tasty pizza and great hospitality and service. True neighborhood gem.

A real neighborhood gem. The pizza keeps me coming back even though I don't live so near anymore. Decent local beer selection too. Bartender is friendly, welcoming and old school awesome. Like I said, a gem.

Traditional neighborhood bar. Nothing commercial around it for blocks. I love their giardiniera tavern / thin crust pizza!

The atmosphere was laid-back, regular neighborhood bar. The bartender was on point making sure everyone had what they needed. We opted for the Brew Buddies and a 16” Original Joel, perfect for 2. They were both really good, but what really takes the prize is the pizza, the crust was thin and cracker like. I’ve had my fair share of Chicago thin crust and this one really caught me by surprise, the sauce and amount of ingredients was perfect. I would fairly say it’s a 9.5/10. I was beyond satisfied and was ready to plan a return visit. I liked that they have Dovetail (my favorite local brewery) on draft, a good variety of beer. Definitely a place to swing by or simply pickup a pie.
Order pizza we'll done. You're in for a good pie. Great atmosphere. Great service. Great...

Bartender doesn't have a clue on Sundays. Never acknowledged me or offered to serve me but stood 5 feet away for 10 minutes. Won't ever come back to this joint.

Please stay away so I can get a seat and order the pizza. Don't tell Dave Portnoy or the Barstool folks. Please !

Phenomenal pizza, some fantastic throwback and current music choices from Tubthumping to new Taylor Swift from the vault tracks. Staff were kind and helpful.
