Although many Chicagoans may be averse to pizza chains, Paulie Gee’s should be the exception. The Logan Square location of the Brooklyn-based pizzeria features some of the most experimental takes (and names) on pizza. The sweet-n-spicy Netflix and Chilee pairs a puckering pickled pineapple with a spicy chili crisp, while the Red Hot Cherry Jones mixes together prosciutto di Parma, dried Bing cherries and drizzles of Mike’s Hot Honey. And don't skip out on the Detroit-style squares, like the U.S. Pizza Cup Winner.

One of the newest contenders in the area, Pizza Matta has risen to the ranks as a take-out only spot specializing in make-your-own pizzas. Based on their “salad cancels out pizza” philosophy, each pizza option is designed to “exist harmoniously” with a salad. Although the build-your-own concept suggests diners have free rein, the restaurant’s selections steer any combination of sauces and toppings toward a delicious direction. Be sure to try the green base sauce made from pistachio and basil pesto.

This brewpub-pizza joint hybrid, showcasing the essence of Logan Square’s evolution, infuses the finer and unique tastes into its pizzas while staying true to the culinary art form. The specials introduce you to foods far from the ordinary, including a Calabrian meat spread nduja and Syrian roasted red pepper dip known as muhammara.
