Phil's Pizza Chicago Menu 2026: Tavern-Style Thin Crust, Combos & More

Phil's Pizza at 1102 W 35th St in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood is one of the city's most beloved tavern-style pizzerias. Operating since the early 1960s, Phil's built a decades-long following at its original Halsted Street location before relocating a few blocks away in 2008 — bringing its vintage Blodgett ovens along. The result is the same crispy-yet-chewy thin crust and fennel-flecked sausage that Bridgeport residents have treasured for generations.

About

About Phil's Pizza Chicago

Phil's Pizza has been a cornerstone of Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood since the early 1960s. The restaurant built its reputation over nearly five decades at its original wood-paneled location on Halsted Street, where generations of Bridgeport families discovered the pleasures of a truly old-school Chicago tavern pizza — thin, crispy crust with a slight chew, square-cut into party-style slices, and topped with a house sausage seasoned with fennel in the Italian-American tradition.

In 2008, after 48 years on Halsted, the owners made the difficult decision to close that original location. Rather than let Phil's disappear, they relocated a few blocks away to 1102 W 35th Street, taking their prized vintage Blodgett pizza ovens with them — the same ovens responsible for the crust that fans loved. The move preserved the soul of Phil's while giving it a new home in a neighborhood that had supported it for nearly half a century.

Today Phil's Pizza remains a cash-preferred, no-frills neighborhood institution that opens its doors for the dinner crowd Monday through Sunday. Beyond pizza, the menu extends to Italian beef sandwiches, pasta dinners, and appetizers that round out the full Italian-American comfort food experience. With its loyal Bridgeport following, Yelp rating of 3.9 from nearly 600 reviews, and a dining room that welcomes families and groups, Phil's endures as living proof that great pizza doesn't require trends — just good dough, good sauce, and a very hot oven.
