By far one of the trendiest places to grab a pint and a pizza, The Warehouse Bar and Pizzeria Chicago is located on lively Fullerton Avenue.

Durbins pizza is a staple in southwest suburban Tinley Park. The best thing about this location is that it's not only a bar, but a restaurant and sometimes a lively night club on weekend evenings. Known for their pizza, Durbins reels customers in with cheesy thin crust pizzas with a herb-packed slightly sweet sauce and keeps them in with their bar, which transforms every weekend evening as lights, music and a dance floor entertain patrons. This is one of the best locations in suburban Chicago for bar pizza, but other bars and pizzerias dot the downtown Tinley Park Oak Park Avenue area.

It seems fitting that the city with the largest Polish population outside of Poland has an opportunity to have pizza and a brew in a pub with Polish authenticity. The pub has a long bar that runs the length of the restaurant and booth seating towards the red brick wall. Cultures come together in this pub as Polish fare, and most especially Polish beer come together with Chicago's love for pizza. Why limit yourself to Italian for pizza when you can go explore other opportunities, which is what Chicago is all about.
