Forno Mauri is a restaurant at 620 South Dearborn Street, about 714 m (9 min walk) from 311 South Wacker Drive. It is known for pizza. It's a convenient pick for lunch near the Willis Tower or dinner after work in the Chicago Loop.

Chicago takes pizza seriously — this is the town that invented deep-dish, and locals argue just as passionately about tavern-style thin crust cut into squares.
