Pizzeria Serio specializes in Neapolitan-style thin-crust pizza made with hand-stretched dough, fresh San Marzano tomato sauce, and authentic Italian ingredients. Mouths water as eyes pore over the restaurant's menu and thumbs twiddle in excited anticipation. Begin belly journeys with a starter, such as miniature calzones filled with mozzarella and ricotta ($7) or garlic twists ($4), knots of chewy garlic bread that inspired the 1950s dance craze teens used to ward off rhythm-impaired vampires. Pizzas and calzones (starting at $13) can be customized with gooey cheese, peppery meats, and fresh vegetables, or diners can choose one of Pizzeria Serio's specialty pies, baked to bubbly perfection in an 800-degree brick oven. The classic margherita ($15) showcases simply dressed mozzarella and basil, and the big cheese ($17) treats lactose-tolerant tasters with aged provolone, asiago, mozzarella, and freshly grated grana padano. Carnivorians can pummel their hunger with the protein-packed punch of the meat your heart out pizza ($18), loaded with pepperoni, italian sausage, and canadian bacon, and spice seekers can taze their tongues with the zing of a diavolo pie ($16.50), topped with hot sopressata salami, pepperoncini peppers, and red onion.

- The main attraction is the fearsome 800-degree oven, turning out eight kinds of 14-inch specialty pies, from basic margherita to the Meat Your Heart Out (with pepperoni, sausage and Canadian bacon). It also promises authentic New York-style pizzas in the heart of Chicago. Score one for having big doughballs, we guess. – UrbanDaddy
- their pizza is FANTASTIC. i love thin crust, and theirs is possibly the best i've had in chicago [sic]. it's not too crispy, more chewy, not greasy or heavy, with lots of air pockets and of course the lovely wood-fired flavor. great sauce, not too sweet (you can actually taste the spices). we had the diavolo and the big cheese and both combinations were spot on. – Amanda s., Yelp, 1/12/11
