Bartoli's Pizzeria traces back to Fred Bartoli, whose pizza-making Brian Tondryk grew up watching before founding his own shop in 2013 to recreate that recipe for a new generation of Chicagoans. The West Town location followed as a second outpost of the Roscoe Village original, carrying over the same deep-dish approach and family sauce recipe.
The pizza leans on fresh, generously piled toppings and a sauce recipe passed down through the family, with deep dish as the draw. Regulars point to consistent quality and fresh ingredients visit after visit, and Brian Tondryk himself has built a following among customers who single him out by name.
