Chicago has no shortage of pizza places — and one pizzeria just ranked as serving up one of the “50 best slices to try” in the U.S.

About Pie-Eyed Pizzeria
The pizza joint, at 1111 W. Chicago Ave. near the Blue Line, serves both thin-crust and deep dish, the list said, with pies "paying homage to heavy metal and rock bands" and band fliers covering the windows and doors.
"One of their best-sellers was dedicated to Gwar when the band headlined Riot Fest," the list said.
"I would come here just for the music," one Google review said. "Always playing 90’s alt."
Menu and Hours
According to their website, the joint is open until around 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, making it easy to grab a late-night slice, with prices starting at $6.75.
Last month, Chowhound said Milly’s Pizza in the Pan, just a few blocks northwest of Pie-Eyed Pizzeria was "hands down the best pizza" for Illinois, with only a limited number of pies available per day.
