Did you know October is National Pizza Month? You do now!
To celebrate the occasion, DoorDash just released its annual roundup of Top Local Pizza Spots in America, and 4 Chicago joints are ranked among the best in the Midwest.
Here’s a breakdown of the ranking and which places made the cut.
Chicago’s pizza kings according to DoorDash ratings
Chicago is home to no shortage of great pizza spots, but according to DoorDash’s annual top pizza roundup, 4 local spots stand out from the rest.
DoorDash’s ranking reflects small and medium-sized pizza restaurants nationwide that possess a few key pieces of criteria.
Eligible restaurants had to have fewer than 10 locations, a minimum of 1,000 reviews on the app, and among the highest average consumer ratings between September 2025 and September 2026.
Taking those factors into account, these are the Chicago pizza spots that came out on top:
- Happy Camper Pizza
- Jimmy’s Pizza Cafe
- Piece Pizzeria & Brewery
- Robert’s Pizza & Dough Company
If this list is any indication, Chicago’s pizza landscape may be shifting from its historic deep dish roots.
The top Chicago joints on DoorDash’s ranking represent near-exclusively thin crust options, from New Haven-style slices at Piece Pizzeria & Brewery to tavern style at Happy Camper.
No matter where you fall on the pizza spectrum, however, you’ll want to add these ratings-backed Chicago pizza restaurants to your own list of must-try spots.
