Took my son for pizza after graduation from book camp. We didn't have time to drive to the sit down, but we managed to get a table from the restaurant next door. We enjoyed our pizza on the patio. It was way too big to finish, so we have leftovers. Thanks to whoever told us to try it out.

Ordered online for carry out and the order was ready on time - probably spent less than 5 minutes parking and getting the order. Staff were pleasant and efficient as well. The pizza was great but as other reviews have mentioned, a bit on the greasy side. Definitely expensive compared to other pizza places but considering the large size pizza + wings set was enough for 3 meals (for two people), I don't think the price is too bad. As a side note, although it's not Lou...

Good, but not great, deep dish pizza. None of it was very flavorful other than the sausage. The cheese, sauce, and crust were kind of bland. I expected better from a $20 small pizza, even deep dish.

Parking: There were parking spots available in the shopping center lot.
