Great tavern style pizza! The crust has an excellent cracker crunch and the toppings (had the pepperoni/honey and the vodka sauce) were well balanced and delicious. Very friendly staff when I’ve stopped in to pick up pizzas to go. This will be one of my go to local pizza places going forward

Great little spot! The pizza was good and the garlic bread was amazing. Ask for extra dipping sauce, it’s worth it.

The vodka sauce pizza is one of the BEST pizzas in the city. We get it with sausage and we’re obsessed.

Recently dined in at WG Pizzas after having their pizza several times delivered and at pop ups.
The space is super clean and casual. Easy to stop in for a quick bite or carry out.
We had the black and white pizza and holy crap. SO delicious. We also did the pizza a la vodka which was equally delicious. I love a thin tavern style crust and this place nails it!
The chopped salad is super generous and can feed at least 4 people along with your pizza. Veggies are chopped perfectly imo and super fresh, great dressing too. Will definitely order again!

10/10 🍕 We got two pizzas - the vodka which was our favorite and the italian sausage. The pizza was thin with a great crispy crunchy crust. Also, the caesar salad was great with very fresh romaine lettuce and large portion good enough for 2 people. Will be back for sure!

New to the city tavern style pizza spot that has an iconic history in Chicago’s north shore suburbs is now open. Located on Southport just north of Diversey, this dine in, carryout and delivery pizza restaurant makes it easy to grab your dinner and go. Sauce, crust and caesar salad dressing are homemade. Loved the cheese pizza, Caesar salad and garlicky buttery flaky rolls. Stop by and see for yourself.

Saw the write up on this place on block club so I stopped in. The service was great and the staff is super sweet. It’s listed as tavern style pizza, but it ended up actually closer to thin crust which is not a problem at all because it was very good pizza. I will be going back for more!

Went last night to the grand opening. Some of the best thin crust I’ve had in the city. So excited to have them in my neighborhood!

So happy to have WG in the neighborhood. Fast and really good tavern style. Hope they keep the vodka sauce pizza on the permanent menu. We’ve had it twice in two weeks.

Watched a promo on WGN and based on the interview assumed they were opening a pizzeria in Avondale, not the case. Instead they offer pizzas through the ghost kitchen next to the Jewel at this address. The ghost kitchen currently offers food from a number of different eateries and they can be hit or miss.

The style is thin and tavern style so it's light on the belly. Side note: Due to its size and how light it is. If you have a gathering of healthy appetites, you might like to get three pizzas or two and a salad.
We tried two pies & a Ceasar salad. One with sausage & perpperoncinis and the other plain cheese with extra sauce. (Their red sauce has a slight sweetness which is more pronounced if having extra sauce) I enjoyed the cheese more. Maybe if we tried one of their specialties with more toppings I may have been more enamored. I dunno.
When eating tavern or extremely thin pizza, it requires a good sauce and minimal toppings to elevate. Too many toppings would weigh it down. I'm not sure whether I need to have this again. In this area of Chicago there are many pizzerias and if you ask, many would make a thinner crust too.

Since they're new, ordering online was not simple. Between two iPhones, my sis and her hubs' tried unsuccessfully using their website. Due to unsuccessful tries they were ready to call a competitor. It's janky, the script wasn't taking address or pay info correctly. I decided to try using a third party site through Doordash(web) for a pickup, using my Android. It required saving a CC on file which I dislike doing (since many companies get hacked these days) but by ordering this way, it was accepted and the order hot & ready within thirty minutes.
