| - 2nd Attempt:
The 2nd time was a bit better, we got the butter crust on the deep dish pizzas this time and it made a difference. It's ok at best, I will definitely not get the this crust there, not worth it at all, in my opinion. All I can say is for the hype of the name of this place, I think the pizza is much better in Chicago then it is here in AZ maybe it has something to do with the water, the altitude but I think it's quality of ingredients. The patio area is really nice to sit for drinks but then there are many bar areas in Phoenix and surrounding areas that have a really nice bar area with food to match. There was a comment a manager and a waiter said to me "we are still trying to get our bearings and smoking out the kinks" I think for recipes, prep, and execution on Food kinks should have all ready been worked out.
1st attempt:
We had the Malnati's salad that was the only thing that tasted good coming out of the kitchen. We ordered the Malnati's Chicago Deep Dish, a sausage and spinach deep dish and a thin crust pizza and we could not figure out if it was the cheese or the sauce that just didn't taste quite right. Something was off and the waitstaff just told us it must be our taste buds that differed from theirs (the restaurant) but 6 people, 3 of whom are chefs and the others of FOH & 1 food writer I believe we have a good idea of how things should taste. But somehow all 6 of us had it wrong. Needless to say, if I do go back it will be only because I could not get out of a family gathering and I will not eat anything unless it's from the bar .
