A collaboration between Choose Chicago and more than 25 local pizzerias, this curated digital pass unlocks exclusive deals through the end of 2025—all for just $15.

Whether you’re a deep-dish devotee in Aurora or a thin-crust purist from Naperville, this pass is your gateway to exploring the best pizza in Chicago’s neighborhoods and beyond.
A Slice of Chicago’s Pizza Legacy
Chicago isn’t just a pizza city—it’s a pizza capital. From the towering deep-dish pies at Lou Malnati’s and Giordano’s to the tavern-style crispness of Home Run Inn, the city’s pizza traditions are as diverse as its neighborhoods.
“The Chicago Pizza Pass produced by Choose Chicago celebrates this delicious history
—and the proud, passionate pizza makers behind it—
with exclusive discounts, special offers, and prizes for those hungry to explore the city one slice at a time.”
That history spans over a century, evolving from immigrant-owned corner joints on the South and West Sides to today’s artisan hotspots like Professor Pizza and Robert’s Pizza and Dough Company. The Chicago Pizza Pass lets locals and visitors taste this evolution with perks at 27 different locations across 16 neighborhoods.
Where Dough Meets Deals
With the Chicago Pizza Pass, you’ll get access to a variety of restaurant-specific deals that range from free slices and BOGO pies to discounts on full meals. Some standouts include:
-
Bartoli’s Pizzeria – A cult favorite in Roscoe Village with rich, buttery crusts.
-
Candlelite Chicago Lincoln Park – Serving thin-crust pies with a nostalgic, tavern-style vibe.
-
Roots – Offering Quad Cities-style pies with malted crusts and bold toppings.
-
Pizza Matta – A modern gem known for Neapolitan dough and bold flavors.
Pass holders can find the full list of deals and participating locations at chipizzapass.com, making it easy to plan a pizza adventure across the city—or even a dedicated pizza road trip from nearby cities like Joliet, Rockford, or Naperville.
More Than Just a Pass—It’s a Pizza Challenge
Beyond discounts, the Pizza Pass brings a layer of competition and reward. Two exclusive contests up the ante:
-
Visit 5 or more pizzerias by September 30, 2025 to enter a raffle for a pizza party for 20 friends.
-
Hit 10 or more by December 31, 2025, and you’re entered to win a weekend getaway in Chicago, complete with hotel stay and restaurant gift cards.
This creates a unique opportunity not just to support local businesses, but to truly experience Chicago’s regional pizza culture—whether you’re trying flaky Detroit-style slices at Labriola Ristorante or indulging in the signature stuffed pies at Nancy’s Pizzeria.
And for those with strong opinions (which, let’s face it, most pizza lovers have), the pass also lets you vote for your favorite pizza joint along the way.
Who Should Get the Pizza Pass?
This isn’t just for tourists. In fact, locals may get the most out of it. If you live in or near Aurora, Naperville, Joliet, or Rockford, the Pizza Pass offers a flavorful excuse for a weekend trip into the city—or several.
Chicagoans who live in pizza-rich neighborhoods like Lincoln Park, West Loop, or Wicker Park can use the pass to finally explore the competition just a few Red Line stops away.
And with no app downloads or complicated logins, the Pizza Pass couldn’t be easier to use. Just sign up, show your pass at participating spots, and enjoy.
Don’t Miss Your Slice of the Action
The Chicago Pizza Pass is available now for just $15 through the end of 2025.
