| - Having recently fallen in love with Chicago style pizza, I have been trying to find a place around my apartment that serves some good Chicago pies. When I drove past this place and saw the sign, I knew I was going to have to check it out some time.
I checked out their website during the football games this weekend and my mouth started watering. I knew what my dinner was going to be and I was still eating lunch. I was in trouble, my stomach wanted the pizza as soon as possible. I ended up waiting a few hours to order. Seeing that the website says the serve spinach, I was a bit excited. Spinach and sausage might be my favorite toppings for a pizza. I order and was told it should be ready in around 40 minutes, though it seemed like he didn't know whether to tell me 40-50 minutes. I game my name and number just like when ordering at all other places.
A bit later, I drive over to pick it up. The place isn't much to look at. You walk in and there are BRIGHT yellow tiles covering the wall. The counter is right in front of you with a lamppost on one side of the room and a bench on the other. I tell the cashier my name and that I am here to get my spinach and sausage pizza. She replies, 'The sausage one?' I was then informed that the decided not to serve spinach any more, even though its on the website and in the menu, which I checked while I waited the minute or two for them to finish the pizza. I wasn't really upset, just curious as to why they didn't call. I had given them my number for them to call if anything should happen. I would figure you would call your customer to let them know you don't have a topping he asked for that you let him think you had.
I get in my car and drive home with the pleasant smell of pizza filling the air. I get home and immediately dig in. It looks like the perfect Chicago pizza. And it was a very good pizza. The issue is the crust. They use a cornmeal crust and it tastes very different from a normal crust. It was also a much thicker crust than I was expecting. I am not an expert on Chicago style, but I didn't thin the crust was normally half of the pizza. This wasn't a big deal either because it was actually quite tasty and had plenty of cheese, sausage and sauce on it so the crust wasn't overwhelming.
It was a delicious pizza. I don't want every pizzeria to switch to this type of crust, but it was nice for a change of pace. They have a good mix of crust, sauce and toppings to really make a complete pie with no one part taking over the pie. I just wish they had given me a call to let me change my order, but I won't hold it against them and will think about them the next time I am looking for a good pie. Not authentic Chicago pie (from what I know) but still ,a darn good one.
