Pizzeria Ora - Chicago

We weee very weary about trying any deep dish near the loop because of past experiences at Giordanos and Gino’s and other big name places. I wanted to show my girlfriend a good time in Chicago for her first visit, and she wanted to try two things, Chicago beef sandwich and deep dish. Pizzeria Ora did not disappoint. It was very good and the service was unmatched. I absolutely love this place now and I will be back when I come back to Chicago! Thanks for a great experience!

This is one of the best local spots in Chicago. Food is incredible, bartender and wait staff couldn’t have been friendlier, and the atmosphere was quiet and welcoming. An incredible combination!!!

Service was great and so was the pizza. The real star was the amazing Mediterranean salad, it surpassed expectation! We also went back for breakfast twice. This is a great cozy little spot with quality food and a good kids menu for even the pickiest eaters. Highly recommend!

Awesome place to watch a game at the bar! Drinks were cold and the pizza was GREAT. One of our favorite spots.

We wanted (like typical tourists) to try Chicago deep dish pizza. It was hard to find a table at the most popular pizza restaurants on a Friday evening, but there was availability at Ora at 6:30 so we booked here, based on online ratings. We were literally the only ones there. The staff were pleasant enough, but the food was underwhelming. The crust seemed reasonably flaky, but when you bit in there was a wet, doughy interior. The pie was soggy toward the middle (at the pointy ends of the slices). And our green salad literally consisted of a few uninspiring pieces of iceberg lettuce, some sliced onions, and two cherry tomatoes. On the whole, not impressive for the price. We would have tried harder to get into one of the more crowded places.
