We’re thrilled to welcome you into our new West Town location for a quick slice or a few pies with friends & family. See you soon!
Overall one of my favorite pizza places in the city and I really like that this place does by the sliceThe Reuben, which was a specialty was fantastic, but the white pie stole the show. The rosemary was the perfect addition to it and next time will be ordering a whole pie of it. I love the Grandma style crust as you'd think it would be too much crust, but it's not because it's so light. I'd love to see them play with adding some herbs to it and do some pizza's that way. Either way I'll eat whatever they come up with and be happy.Service was fast and easy, granted we were here when it wasn't too busy.Professor Pizza, Milly's, and Piece are my top 3 pizzas in the area.

Just tried Professor Pizza Slice on Grand Ave, and it did not disappoint. We got a cheese and a sausage Grandma pie, and both were excellent. Even with delivery, the crunch was unreal, no soggy slices here. But the real seller? The ranch came in a mini squirt bottle. Genius. Absolutely loved it. And honestly, their menu’s got something for everybody. We’ll definitely be ordering again!

The mozzarella onion rings were so crispy and the house made marinara and vodka sauce is a “must order!” The Sicilian sausage and half pepp pizza was very good. It’s well worth the wait and the leftovers were perfect for the next day. Service was great and the vibe was very welcoming. I highly recommend Professor Pizza!

Great pizza. Met the owner, what a work ethic. If you need a reason to try this place, beyond it having great pizza, you will feel the passion of pizza, ambition, and creativity here.

Professor pizza makes such great food. I’ve been blown away by all the different styles of pizza Anthony and his team have mastered. I personally am obsessed with the grandma style, it reheats so good in an air fryer.

I had the sausage and pepper deluxe on a gluten free grandma style crust. It was delicious! The crust was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The toppings were a great medley of different peppers, sausage, ricotta, and red sauce. I am always looking for new pizza places with great gluten free crusts as most of the time they don’t hit the spot when I’m craving pizza.I’ll definitely be back.FYI- They don’t take cash payments.

Wow, definitely the best gluten free pizza I had that thick! Usually gluten free thick crust misses on the crunch but this one was just perfect and super flavorful!
