Piezani "welcome" this West Town pizzeria, cheering its "unique" scissor-cut pies that are "done to perfection" with Quad Cities–style malted crust and a "wonderful alternative to deep-dish"; affordable American fare like salads and sausages extends the menu, and while a "massive" all-Midwestern beer list is considered alone "worth the visit", the "large" space and "comfortable booths" also...

Roots makes my favorite pizza in all of Chicago. Actually, now that I think about it, Roots makes my favorite pizza in ALL THE LAND. I just love this stuff, even if it's more expensive than other pizza options in the neighborhood. But who cares about  money when it comes to really, really fricking good pizza?

Love the Quad-City style! The crust is not too thick, not too thin and the sauce is so flavorful with just a little kick. You can try something crazy like the Taco Pizza, but I'd suggest just building your own (can get pricey though! ). Also, the mozzarella sticks are amazeballs. Nice ambiance with great big booths and big beet selection!

Mediocre overpriced pizza pretending to be fancy and high class. I don't understand how this filler crust, no taste sauce pizza survives in Chicago

Roots is the brainchild of Greg Mohr and Scott Weiner, the duo behind Chicago’s Fifty/50 Restaurant Group. For over a decade, Greg and Scott moved up the ranks of several big-name restaurant groups. In 2008, they struck out on their own with their upscale sports-bar concept, The Fifty/50.

Roots Handmade Pizza was born in the Quad Cities, raised in Chicago. It’s what happened when a bit of hometown nostalgia met our obsession with inventive, made-from-scratch food.
