"Best deep dish Pizza I have ever had. Ordered the pepperoni pizza with a side of ranch. Guaranteed to be the best pizza you've had in the Bay Area."

"The deep dish pepperoni is our fave! The crust is cooked to perfection and the pepperoni cups charred just right. The walls are decorated with Chicago memorabilia — really cool."

"Been coming for over 3 years and it never gets old. Always consistent. Fresh jalapeño instead of canned. Workers are always very friendly. Outside is pet-friendly!"

"My favorite spot for deep dish in the area! Classic pizza shop vibe with bakery items at the front. Plenty of seating even for large parties. Pizzas are super delicious and filling."

"Amazing pan pizza — lighter and fluffier, with an amazingly crispy crust and flavorful cheese. The restaurant nails the sporty, Chicago-esque vibe. A slice of the Windy City right here."

Our Story & Values

Our Story — Authentic Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza in Santa Clara Since 1991

Founded in 1991 by two passionate Chicagoans — Theo Reynolds and Art Harris — Pizz'A Chicago was built on a simple vision: bring authentic gourmet deep-dish pizza to Santa Clara, California. On November 12, 1991 at 2:00 PM, our very first customer Glen Campbell walked through the doors, setting the tone for three decades of quality and hospitality. Our name, a playful nod to "piece of Chicago," reflects our commitment to authenticity — and though it's often affectionately misread as "Chicago Pizza," that charming mix-up has only deepened our identity.
