A great find thanks to Google! Ordered a large deep dish pepperoni ($37) and tiramisu. Plenty of food for 4+. Both excellent! Very accommodating staff. Authentic and fun place. Prefer cash, but can take credit card on phone app.

Really good Chicago deep dish that is not the bread bowl of pasta sauce you get some places. This was totally packed with meat and cheese. The crust also was tasty with a crunch bottom but soft middle. They had a huge menu, so I...Read More

Very friendly service, large portions and very good. Had the gyros, it was excellent. Came back the next day for the deep dish pizza. It was a hit at the office. 2 med pizzas fed 7 with leftovers.

Chicago deep dish meat pizza is delicious. Italian beef, cheesesteaks, and calzones are delicious. Great place for lunch but perfection takes time so plan for a little wait-it’ll be worth it!

We ordered the deep dish from here with high expectations from the reviews but was disappointed! This was hardly a deep dish. The pizza wasn't bad, but not something to come back for.

Do not waste your time. I ordered a Chicago style supreme pizza. I thought supreme meant everything. I shortly figured out it meant a lot of tomato sauce. The first time I ordered from this place it was fabulous. Since the new owner took over...Read More
