Flo & Santos is one of the best pizza restaurants in Chicago for cheap eats, especially if you want a strong option in Chicago.

Flo & Santos operates on a premise that sounds like a bar bet — Polish and Italian, one kitchen, South Side Chicago — and by all accounts it pulls it off without breaking a sweat.

Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

Flo & Santos operates on a premise that sounds like a bar bet — Polish and Italian, one kitchen, South Side Chicago — and by all accounts it pulls it off without breaking a sweat. The room reads as a neighborhood dive that actually runs a real kitchen, which is a rarer combination than the price point would suggest. This is not a place oriented around impressing anyone. It's oriented around cold beer, hot food, and getting out of your own way, and the regulars who pack it on weekends seem to have figured that out well ahead of the rest of us. The menu splits its attention between the two traditions and doesn't apologize for either. The Pierogi Sampler is consistently cited as the dish that anchors the whole identity of the place — the thing that explains what Flo & Santos actually is before the pizza or pasta can make their case. On the Italian side, the Arrabbiata is reportedly the kind of tomato sauce that registers as a genuine decision rather than a default, and the Linguine Saltimbocca rounds out the pasta offerings with some ambition. The Salt and Pepper Calamari is a menu staple that diners point to as a reliable opener, and the 13th Street Italian Sub covers the sandwich corner for anyone who wants something handheld. All of it is priced so low that the math genuinely does not add up in your favor if you skip it. Practical note: the sequencing that makes the most sense of what the kitchen is doing, according to people who frequent the place, is Pierogi Sampler first, then something from the pasta side. Weekends fill with regulars fast. Come early, or plan to post up at the bar.
