Munno is one of the best pizza restaurants in Chicago for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Chicago.

Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

Munno Pizzeria & Bistro on North Clark Street in Uptown is doing something genuinely scarce in Chicago: Roman-style pizza — oblong, charred, architecturally puffy — executed with the kind of focused intent that earns a 2025 Michelin Bib Gourmand and an endorsement from Michael Nagrant calling it the city's best Italian restaurant you still don't know about. Owner and pizzaiuolo Nick Russo, alongside co-owner Bob Monti, has been hand-crafting every pizza, a continuity that matters in a city where the novelty cycle chews through promising rooms quickly. The room itself is candlelit and neighbourhood-scaled, the kind of place that operates Wednesday through Sunday only — hours that signal a kitchen pacing itself deliberately rather than running volume. The menu's dual identity — serious Roman pizza and housemade pasta — is where the kitchen's ambition becomes legible. The Diavola Sbagliata pairs spicy Italian salami with smoked scamorza and spicy Italian honey, a combination that plays heat against the smoky pull of the cheese in a way the menu has made a signature. The Circo Massimo brings together mozzarella, melted leeks, pork sausage, and ricotta — a more restrained but texturally layered pie that diners consistently return to. The pasta program earns equal attention: the Mezze Maniche alla Carbonara uses artisanal short rigatoni with guanciale and pecorino romano, a classicist's preparation that the kitchen makes entirely in-house. For a restaurant at this price point in a walkable neighbourhood strip, that level of scratch production is not the default — it's a choice. The practical move: this is a small room operating on limited hours, so a reservation is not optional on weekends. Steve Dolinsky's December 2024 feature on his Pizza City series brought renewed attention, which means the room fills faster than its neighbourhood profile might suggest. Go for the Diavola Sbagliata and the carbonara together — that combination covers both pillars of what Munno is actually built around.
