Review: Piece offers pizza in three different styles: Red, plain or white. The white pizza is a plain crust brushed with olive oil, diced garlic and mozerella cheese. Each additional topping costs you an extra $1.75. Each additional premium topping costs you an extra $2.00. Who knew that tomatoes and basil were premium toppings. These rules and designations brought our humble pizza outing to what I like to call too much for too little. Though the New Haven style pizza that Piece cooks up is tasty, it's overpriced. Between the three of us in my party, we were able to finish a medium with room to spare. I don't know about you, but in my book, a pizza that costs nearly $20 is supposed to not only taste good, but also fill up a party of three.

I live in a city that takes pride in its pizza and fills up even the hungriest person when delivered Chicago-style. Perhaps more Wicker Park locations should stop trying to extract the most money from its residents and take more pride in its pie as well. Last time I checked, Wicker Park was still inside of the Chicago city limits despite how hip it likes to think it is.
