"Kim’s Uncle Pizza serves the same tavern-style pizza that Pizza Fried Chicken Ice Cream served in Bridgeport. Super crispy and with premium toppings, this is artisan Chicago style. The pizzeria was purchased by the Marszewskis, the family behind Maria’s Community Bar and Marz Community Brewing. Family members have fond memories of working at the pizzeria as teens and now have the means to give suburban Westmont destination-worthy pizza." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff

"Kim’s Uncle Pizza serves the same pizza that Pizza Fried Chicken Ice Cream did when operations neighbored Maria’s Community Bar in Bridgeport. Moving to Westmont, it’s one of the best restaurants in the suburbs, a tiny spot that specializes in carryouts. This pizza has received national write-ups." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff

"This tavern-style pizza destination in suburban Westmont is known for its delectable, super-crispy pies loaded with premium toppings — the same pizzas once served at shuttered Bridgeport spot Pizza Fried Chicken Ice Cream. It’s a collaboration between Eat Free Pizza and the family behind Maria’s Community Bar and Marz Community Brewing. The pizzas are halal, and halal pepperoni is offered as a topping." - Ashok Selvam, Tasmiha Khan

You won’t find a better Chicago tavern pizza in the suburbs than this place. They hold their own ranking among the best known tavern pizza places in Chicago. I’d say they might be better than some of them. Definitely a must try for any real Chicago pizza lover. Thin, crispy, well-done cooked to perfection. Will definitely go back. They are definitely in my top 3 favorites but definitely the best in the 630.

The crust on this tavern style! It’s different than any other crust I’ve had. The pepperoni was fantastic. The sausage is definitely not your standard spicy Italian…unless sage is normal. Not bad…just different. Still though, top 5 for tavern style in Chicago area!

What can I say?! The hype is real! Heard about this place because I worked at Milly’s Pizza in the city last year and was lucky enough to grab a reso at Pizzamici this coming January. I took my parents who are born and raised Chicagoans and they agreed, best tavern pizza in the city by far! Crispy, fresh and so so tasty! And the beef?! Some of the best I’ve ever had. We took our order to Goldfinger Brewing 5 minutes away to eat and the beers paired perfect! We can’t wait to go back.

Pizza is delicious with thin cracker crust and loads of toppings. Didn’t know you start calling in at 3pm for an available time slot to pick up your pizza. Thankful they were accommodating after we drove 1 hour+ to try it out. Well worth the drive!

Called in the order and asked for a well-done thin crust pizza. They told me the pizza would be ready in 30 minutes. They were very nice over the phone. The pizza was ready in 30 minutes, and it was absolutely terrific. Thin crispy crust - well done. The service was very good. This is a carry-out restaurant, and they take credit cards. They also accept phone orders as early as 3pm, even though the restaurant opens at 4pm. Parking in front, on the street, was easy. I'm going to try their meatballs next time. I will definitely be a repeat customer here when I am in the Westmont Downers Grove area. I was very happy, and I felt so guilty since I couldn't stop eating the pizza.

If you are looking for a classic tavern-style pizza in the western suburbs, this has to be one of the better places I’ve found yet. I loved the flavor of the sauce and the thin crispy crust. The sausage seemed homemade which was very good but the pepperoni seemed to overpower all of the other flavors. I’m not sure if there was too much pepperoni or if maybe if it was just too spicy for my liking but I found myself having to pick it off or eat around it. If you like lots of pepperoni and you like it spicy, this is definitely the one for you! Regardless of my pepperoni preference, this pizza was delicious and packed with flavor and I still enjoyed it! Kudos for the custom pizza box too 😉 This place is mainly a pickup spot but I did notice they had two tables to sit and eat. They only serve one size pizza which is 14” which was pretty big for one person but the price was decent so I didn’t mind. Also, I had read about long wait times for pizza so I called right at 4 when they opened and the pickup was 5:10, so no problem there for me. There was a free parking lot next door and free street parking as well. Definitely will be back to try this place again!

Must try pizza! First time customer and we loved the pizza! We purchased the pepperoni pizza and a sausage, roasted red peppers and hot honey drizzle pizza. Both were exquisite! Loved the hint of spice in the pepperoni. Recommendation~ call early to place an order! Totally worth the wait and drive!

Classic Chi-town pizza joint with their own twist. Super thin crust, one size fits all….IYKYK. Call way ahead of time, this place has production limitations due to having a small space and oven.
