Chicago gives you more than one way to work around bread and pasta, including an actual sausage-base crustless pizza. I’d still check the whole order. Taking away the crust doesn’t take away the need to think about portions and toppings.
This list was checked in October 2026. Menus change, so check the current menu before you go.
For ordering anywhere: start with protein plus vegetables, keep sauces on the side, and ask to leave off starchy extras.
Eataly
43 E Ohio St, Chicago, IL 60611
Eataly is an Italian market and dining stop. Check the current dining menus through its Chicago page, then look for protein and vegetable preparations without pasta, breading or sweet sauces. Ask what’s available before committing to a meal.

Fittingly Delicious
3939 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60618
Fittingly Delicious combines meal prep, a health store and a smoothie bar, with pickup and delivery. Its menu lists Roasted Chicken With Veggies at 5g carbs, Ground Beef Stuffed Peppers at 6g, and Mediterranean Turkey Burger at 4g. Use those listed figures to plan your portion; plenty of its other entrees are higher in carbs.
Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria
439 N Wells St, Chicago, IL 60654
The River North location offers crustless pizza made with a lean sausage base, mozzarella and tomato sauce. The sausage takes the place of a flour crust. Check current nutrition and serving size; there’s no verified per-serving carb figure to promise here.
The Purple Pig
444 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611
The Purple Pig’s menu leans heavily on pork and other proteins. Salmon, Pork Ribeye, Iberico Pork Tenderloin and Half Chicken give you starting points. Check each preparation, sauce and side before ordering. The protein’s name alone doesn’t tell you what else arrives on the plate.
Tango Sur
3763 N Southport Ave, Chicago, IL 60613
Tango Sur is a grill with Entraña, an outer skirt steak, and Asado de Tira, grilled short ribs, on its menu. Entraña comes with salad and vesuvio potatoes; ask to skip the potatoes and check the salad dressing. Parrillada, a mixed grill, is another listed option, with accompaniments to check before ordering.
