We put in a reservation to secure a spot while waiting in line and I'm glad we did! Every recommended we go here for the deep dish pizza. The food was good but I think it's a little overhyped.

Not awed by the pizza but it was decent. Service was ok. Bit hectic even later in the evening so much that it felt like herding cattle. Restaurant is pretty noisy. Overall I'm glad to have enjoyed some deep dish, a Chicago classic, but it's doubtful I'll make a point to return. Once was enough.

Stellar - good food and good service. This location is a good alternative to the madness of river north

We went for pizza, which was delicious although there was a significant wait between ordering and receiving. Make a reservation! Wait was long without one the first time we tried so we did make a reservation and were able to walk right in the second night.

Service was excellent... Omar was fantastic.... Very attentive and helpful and even accommodated our adjustments without flinching. Really appreciate his efforts. Food was very good too and having gluten free options available and clearly labeled was extremely helpful. Thank you.

The food was amazing, as usual. The server was terrible. Brought out things we didn't order and then had attitude when we asked to have those items corrected.

Adriana

It was great, the deep dish pizza is spectacular. Sizes are very big though, great for sharing.

We had the best time - reservation was ready on time with a great table for 10 tucked away so all the kids could relax and adults could visit!

Rick

Pizza was good, different than some other Chicago deep dish. Had reservations, but were sat in an section where the server was also handling a very large crowd (30+ people), so we waited a long time to place our order. Worth a try if you like deep dish.

The reserved a table and we waited only a few minutes before being seated, the serivce was fast and polite, and the Deep Dish pizza was amazing as usual!

Service was great. Deep Dish crust was doughy. Chopped Steak barely seasoned. Serving portions very large.

Dieter

First time at this legendary Chicago institution and blown away. Great friendly service! Had the huge Malnati's salad and a thin crust with sausage. Fan for life that pizza is mind blowing

Mike

Found and service were outstanding. My wife has long been a Geno East fan but is now converted to a Malnati fan. Katie our server was very attentive and the Malnati Salas was terrific

We indulged in authentic Chicago deep dish pizza, which was amazing. The fresh tomato sauce was the best part albeit mild in spiciness. We really enjoyed the meal.The ambiance is typical for a pizza restaurant.
