Meagan was attentive and hilarious with her cheesy dad jokes. Great food and service.

Coby was a great server. Food was pretty decent, was weird that we didn't get our little candle lit for under the pizza, so it did cool off super quick, but it was good regardless. Will definetly come back here to try one of thier specialty pizzas.

I am an IDAHO native. Lived here my most of my life. I have ALSO been to GIORDANO's in Chicago (if you don't know Google them). Chicago Fire has a verrrry delicious deep dish that is flakier than an EX. Loads of toppings. Allegedly they have a thin crust. If it is 1/2 as good as the deep dish....MUAH.

I would suggest getting a few appetizers and a thin crust to start you off but make sure the first thing you order is the deep dish pizza because it takes a while to cook. Overall it was an amazing meal, I just had to take a lot of the deep dish home because we were too full to finish it, that’s the only thing I have to say is that if you order a lot of food to tide you over for the deep dish, you might not be able to finish it. But our waitress was so nice and the atmosphere of the restaurant just felt like home to me. Would have to recommend their cheesy bread 10/10Kid-friendliness: Me and my brothers all loved it!

Let me begin by saying that initially this review was one star. I had an excessive wait time, I was hungry, and it seemed like the servers were making excuses. Just note that these deep dish pizzas take from 20 to 30 minutes to bake. Be patient it's worth the wait. After receiving my food, and an appropriate explanation for the delay, I have to say it was a fantastic dining experience. What started off to be a lengthy wait for what I felt was going to be a marginal product, turned out to be a delicious pizza served by an employee with a wonderful personality and a nice backstory to share. The pizza is a thick untraditional style pizza, untraditional compared to the thin pizza crust we see elsewhere. These crusts are almost 50% pizza dough and 50% pie dough and thick. They have the look and feel of a regular pizza dough but because they're done in a deep dish pan in the oven. They tend to have a crispy crumbly edge. The sauce was a tangy rich tomatoey sauce that had full body and nice flavorful profile. The meats were high-quality meats, and the cheese had plenty of stretch and elasticity to it. This is the type of pizza that when you take a bite, you realize this is a meal not just a bite of pizza. I ordered the equivalent of a meat lovers, and was not disappointed. The atmosphere was very quaint and cozy, as if it had been there for years. It has kind of a brick warehouse feel and the booths were comfortable. At the table you have a stand for your pizza and some salt and pepper with parm cheese and red pepper flakes. I now opt to not drink soda, but keep the cost of the meal down by ordering water, it's better for me, so the cost of the meal was extremely reasonable. I ordered a medium and there was at least half of it left over for me to take home. It actually made two more meals. I highly recommend this place to add to your top Pizza experiences in the Treasure Valley. You won't be disappointed.

Deep dish pizza was delicious. The server said it would take about 45 minutes to come out which was fine and I would say it came out on time or even a bit sooner. All in all it was a good experience.

We showed up right after opening and the restaurant was mostly empty, but it still took over 30 minutes to get a couple of small pizzas. The service was just bad, I had to ask for everything: more water, napkins, to-go box, and then, once you're getting a to-go box, you'd think the check would be right there, but no, we had to wait until we saw the waitress and literally yell for her to come over so we could ask for the check.The pizzas, according to my kids, tasted like frozen pizza, so that's not good. They also weren't cut all the way through, not even close, so each slice we had to saw away at them with the dull knife they give you. And it was $55 for two small pizzas, one just plain cheese, one veggie. Basically over $25 for a small pizza, how is that even possible?So, just no. We tried it, but we're not going back. It was pretty bad from start to finish. Just go to Blaze, it's way better, faster, and cheaper.

Absolutely amazing experience in every way possible! Even the fries were great and Jaylin (sp?) was the best server we've had in a long time!
I really like the pizza it is very different then most pizza we have here. Other food is good too at a reasonable price. It has more a sports bar feel than a resturant. I would turn down the music a tad to make chatting easier but I am an uncool 34year old. Still very nice place.

The food was tasty. The deep dish pizza was way too much cheese and not enough of the other toppings. The ice tasted odd--in both my water and my other drink (see below for my speculation).The service was average. Nothing special, but nothing to get upset about either. The pizza took about 30 minutes to get out to us.The atmosphere was fun, I just wish they had fewer TVs. There were about 8 and you couldn't have a conversation without looking up at the TV every few seconds because some movement caught your eye.My only bad thing was that on the drive home from the restaurant, I got really sick to my stomach and I still am (2 days later). I'm not sure if it was the food, or maybe something was wrong with the ice (maybe some mold on the ice machine), or some other bug I picked up earlier. I was the only one in our group that got sick, so I can only speculate.
