Seriously this is the best restaurant in San Diego!!! Really cool staff, the best Chicago Italian food, and the Miss Lauren works hard to keep her customers happy!!!
Italian beef sandwich, traditional Chicago dog, Stuffed Monster of the Midway deep dish pie, pastas, salads, great drinks, and much more!
Both locations are my favorite restaurants in San Diego!!!

Really good restaurant run by an interesting lady with very good Chicago Pizza favorites. The deep dish pizza is excellent in the spirit of Lou Malnati's and the Italian beefs are just superb I like them even better than portillo's. I love the owner ❤️

Falsely advertised Chicago style thin crust -- this is regular thin crust pizza, not Chicago style - take it from someone who lived in the midwest for 16 years. Disappointing.

Childhood favorite spot of mine. Hands down the best tomato sauce in town. If my stomach could handle that much cheese I would eat here every day

We went downtown and decided to make a stop there for a quick bite. I had Italian beef and beer on the way home. It is not fair for me to judge on the pizza because I lived in Chicago for many years. Overall, the service is good, friendly waiters and waitresses. I would go there again when I am in the area to try other dish in their menu.

Had about 20 people here for my 40th and it was nothing short of amazing. Born and raised in Chicago and moved to SD about 2 years ago and been searching for a great pizza spot and a place that had some good Chicago style food, and boy, this place did not disappoint. On top of fantastic food, the drinks were outstanding but most importantly, the service was unbelievable. Was such an amazing time that a few of us just went back today and fell in love with it all over again. So great, HIGHLY recommend.

I was really excited to try this place but the deep dish pizza was honestly not good. The crust was incredibly dry and the pizza didn’t have enough salt.
