Food was amazing, service was very good. Took a while to get food but they did warn us so we were expecting it.

I lived in Chicago for a while and ate a lot of stuffed pizza there. This rendition is close, but not 100% the same. Namely the crust has a slightly different composition and the tomatoes are much bigger than I ever experienced in Chi Town. Also no giardinera?!?!? That’s the best pizza topping! It still hit the spot during my time of need and I will definitely be back with my own jar of hot giardinera.

I came into Rances for first time with my coworkers, we ordered the bruschetta, bourbon wings, deep dish, and flat pizza. Everything was exceptional. The flavor was amazing and definitely noticed all the fresh ingredients. Our server Derrik was amazing and attentive. We will definitely be coming back to try everything else we didn't get a chance to try.

I’m rating these guys 5 stars about 5 minutes into my first visit, before I’ve received my pizza. They are a great crew: positive, helpful, and generous. The beer (805) is cold and and the salad is incredibly fresh and delicious. Cooper, Derek, Marlene, Jim, Dino, and Alex all rock. Thank you. Can’t wait to taste the pizza but it doesn’t matter - already worth the visit.
UPDATE: The pizza (deep dish house special) is delicious. The best pizza currently available in the greater Los Angeles area. Dough Box was its equal but is no longer in business.
I wish I could dial up the star knob to 11.
To the owner - I appreciate what you’ve created. Make sure you give this crew a lot of love, because they represent your product beautifully. Without them, I wouldn’t have tasted your great pizza.

We recently dined at Rance's Chicago Pizza, hoping to enjoy some classic deep-dish. While the staff were friendly, our experience left much to be desired, especially regarding service, food quality, and overall satisfaction.
First, the wait was incredibly long. Despite ordering two small and one large deep-dish pizzas, we waited over 45 minutes for our food, with no explanation for the delay. There were only 2 other tables there.
When it finally arrived, we were excited by the presentation—the pizzas looked visually appealing, with vibrant layers of cheese, sauce, and toppings. However, the crust was a huge letdown. It tasted suspiciously like pre-made dough, similar to a store-bought, tube-style crust rather than the freshly-made, buttery crust we expected in a deep-dish pizza.
On top of that, the crust and overall bake seemed undercooked. After waiting 45 minutes in the oven, it should have been thoroughly cooked, yet it was doughy and somewhat raw in parts, especially under the toppings. This became apparent when we both suffered from stomach issues later in the night, enduring severe diarrhea likely caused by the undercooked dough.
Finally, a minor yet notable issue: when it came time to pay, the server handed the check to my date, despite my name being clearly printed on the card. This small act felt awkward and somewhat emasculating, making the end of the meal even less pleasant.
Overall, while the presentation of Rance’s pizzas is enticing, the lengthy wait, questionable crust quality, and uncomfortable service left us disappointed. This experience was far from what we expected, and unfortunately, it’s not a place we’ll be revisiting. Total bill after 18% Tip was $100. Not worth it for me.

Serious pizza eating folk wanted at this joint. These pies are no joke two slices in and you are heavily contemplating asking for a to go box. Well worth your dime and drive really close to the I-5 about 2 miles away, tops.
Came in, was greeted and told I could set where ever I liked. There was no other customers other then the ones that where seated already. Waiter comes over and tells me to move tables so they can have room just incase a bigger group came in. Make it makes sense I’m a customer why save tables??

We were craving deep-dish style pizza and are so glad we found this place! We each ordered a 9-inch personal pizza and had plenty to eat, with leftovers. Derek was extremely welcoming and attentive! He made sure we knew about the wait to make a custom pizza which was about 45 minutes. We had the meatball appetizer and enjoyed the atmosphere with sports playing on the TVs until our food arrived. All the food was delicious, and exactly what we were craving! I definitely recommend this for anyone who enjoys deep-dish pizza!

I’ve never tried a deep dish pizza and I guess I still haven’t! I tried the classic deep dish but it was the pan style so I hear that’s not the official deep dish style. But regardless it was so dang good. It still seemed like it had that deep dish feeling behind it, and we also tried some wings and everything came out in a timely manner. I also got to try an IPA but I only recognized the soda jerk machine for the beer, it wasn’t on the menu and the waitress apologized for leaving it off our selection but hey at least these peepers work and I was able to order a delicious voodoo ranger beer that just caught my eye. ;)

Best wings I've had my entire life. The pizza is good, but I would come here for the wings. I also got amazing customer service from Liz. I would definitely come back.

Oh my god it was so good, I’ve never had Chicago pizza before so I didn’t know what to expect, but I was so pleasantly surprised. The wings were SO good I had to order them twice, I shared the small pizza with one person and it’s small diameter wise but it is THICK in the best way. I definitely r commend this place. So so good and valid
