Great thin-crust pizza in the area between northern Michigan Avenue and the heart of Lincoln Park. Â Wife and I enjoyed our thin crust pizza. Â Recommend sticking to the more traditional selections. Â
As others have said, you enter by going below the sign and through a little underground passage to the hidden door on your right. Â It's a nice sedate environment inside with a mix of locals and families.
Well, I'm a dumbass. Bricks has been on my radar for a while and only now have I actually eaten their pie. And now, I feel like a dumbass for not eating their pizza sooner.
This past saturday I finally had a chance to sample from Bricks as they are friends with the people at Domaine Wine Storage. So, we had a lot of Bricks pizza for the tasting. When I was told that, a smile was put on my face as I knew I'd finally break my Bricks cherry.
Since there was a lot of pizza for a lot of people, that meant I got to try a couple of them. To start, I was a fan of everything we got (a mushroom based pizza, bbq chicken, and an assorted peppers pie), but the bbq chicken was the real star. This was the one I kept going back to along with the assorted peppers slices.
These were all thin crust done in the classic Chicago thin crust pieces. I loved the crust on these. It was crisp and just really good on the whole.
I need to get my own order from Bricks in the future. I'm generally a happy guy when it comes to pizza, but Bricks did it right IMO.
