THIN CRUST. THICK VIBE.

Chicago's premier destination for thin-crust, tavern-style pizza on Illinois Street.

Dishes to obsess over, cocktails worthy of close-ups, and tavern-style pizza you’ll be thinking about tomorrow. Plus, a rare pizza tasting for the curious. That’s love at first slice.

River North Tavern Style Pizza

Redefining the Chicago Pizza Parlor

We believe in gallery walls, good energy, and a team on their best behavior (but like, the fun kind). Big on art. Big on heart. Lia Tavern is redefining the classic Chicago pizza parlor with an elevated menu, fresh local ingredients, and an unforgettable dining room.

A table with two cocktails garnished with dried lime slices, a glass of water, a plate with a wrapped napkin, a menu, a vintage camera, an electronic device, a red bottle, and a white case, all illuminated by a small lamp in a dimly lit setting.
