Okay, I still love the buttery, flaky crust of Lou Malnati's the most... But Papa Del's just gave us the greatest vegan pizza experience ever. The deep crust is like a fresh loaf of bread. SO good with non-dairy mozzarella!! Great service, great Bitburger N/A...Read More

Polite staff, roomy and clean facility. Nice modern layout although I hate the fact that a pizza place has gambling machines... come on guys. Put a few arcade games in and you'll find families having more fun while they wait for their pizza to cook....Read More

I come back to Illinois to visit friends/family, that's what I tell everyone. The Midwest has the best pizza ever and this place did not disappoint. Really good beer selection and amazing deep dish pizza. I must go back on my next visit.

Best deep dish around and the thin is excellent also. Getting a slice for lunch (or 1/2 price 2-4) is fast, but call ahead 45min if you are ordering a whole pizza. Also a great place for a solar talk.

Everything was wonderful...we were informed about the time it takes to make the pizza ( friends told us and it's on the menu) so pay attention! Otherwise the experience could be less than expected. The garlic donuts were the best I have ever had...Read More

LOVE the pizza! The crust is super tall, crispy on the outside, and super soft on the inside, kinda tasted like a dinner roll. Plus the bottom was fully cooked and still crispy when we got it! Unfortunately the juices from the toppings leaked out...Read More

This is where it's at. This place is delicious. I like the pan pizza they offer. Absolutely as good and in many cases better than well known Chicago offerings.
