We had a lovely server and I wish I could remember her name. Everything we tried was great. Big portions so come hungry! I want to collect all the pizza/crust combos like Pokémon, they're so good you have to try them all!

Fantastic pizza! Exactly what we wanted. Surpassed our expectations. Beautiful toppings ans perfectly crisp crust (we got a Supreme pizza on Grandma's crust.) Waitress was polite and helpful in explaining the different types of crusts. Manager greeted us upon arrival and checked on us during the meal. We felt valued as customers and will most certainly be back! Thanks for being amazing!

Sauce, crust and bake were excellent. I was shocked how excellent the tavern style was cooked. How is this not in the top 10 conversation?

Convenient if you are going to the second city for a pre show dinner

The pizza is pretty good but a little greasy, especially with the New York style. More importantly, it’s like $35 for one pizza. That’s absolutely insane and criminal to charge that much.

First time at the original location, I thought it was amazing. So this time I brought my family. Unfortunately, it was trash. Inedible. Waited 30 mins. My whole family including me hated it. On top of that, it’s 60 outdoors, why blast the AC indoors? Ya everything about this experience sucked. VERY disappointed. I should not only get my money back, but I should be paid to have eaten it. It’s like a bad dare.

Great service and the best pizza in Chicago  or anywhere else in the world for that matter
The staff here is incredible. Especially, Peter, Jackie, and Diana! Great vibes all around! They went out of their way to take care of our pizza after a mix up on the pick up time. The pizza being incredible is just the “pepperoni on the pie”!

The human service was great! The QR code ordering was clunky, annoying and ended up not working as it wouldn't accept my phone number.
I LOVE THE FOOD! but implementing the thing where if you dine in you still have to order through the phone is lame! I wanna talk to the waiter.. like why make unnecessary steps for the customer when I can just order with the waiter

Had to redeem a very bad experience down the street and this place hit the spot. Expensive pizza but worthy.

I had been looking good forward to checking this place out, but after our experience I will never be back. First off, service was great. The pizza... not so much. We are both Detroit style fans and ordered a large pepperoni Detroit pizza. It came out so burned that it was nearly inedible. We each had one slice and threw the rest out. The cost of 3 drinks, an order of wings, and our inedible pizza was over $130 before tip. Never again.

We came on a Sunday evening, and were seated quickly. The place was quiet.
We ordered a cracker crust margherita and a pepperoni deluxe with the NY crust.
Both were absolutely delicious and I want to come back to try others.
The 12” pizza was more like 11”.
One minor issue was the NY crust took 20 more minutes to come out after we got our first pizza. The menu clearly stated the Sicilian and Detroit took much longer, but we assumed the one that was only a *little* thicker would not *take* that long. The waitress Maria who was attentive and very nice explained to us.
So not a mood killer, but were kept in limbo while we waited. If the NY does indeed take 20+ minutes longer, you could update the menu.

Didn’t like that we ordered our appetizers 15 mins before ordering our pizza and after waiting an additional 30 mins everything came out at the same time. The appetizers were hotter than the pizza which I found kinda weird. The food overall was just ok, so far the only thing worth coming back for is the spinach dip.
