| - Ambiance: 4. If you tell me you don't like Frank Sinatra, you're lying. One can't really dream up a narrow restaurant with stacked tomato sauce cans and random Frank memorabilia as good as this place. Props also to them for having chess and checkers at a small tables while you're waiting to sit down. Only dink here is I wish they had a patio off the side for summer.
Cost: 4. You're generally paying quite a pretty penny for some of the pizza's, but rightfully so in my opinion. You're paying a premium for an absurd food portion, which is fine if you plan to take home some leftovers.
Food Quality: 5. One can argue back and forth with friends on what constitutes great pizza, but it doesn't matter at Danny Boy's. The clincher for me and why this is my first 5-star review is that they offer a wide range of pizza's: Deep Dish look alikes, crazy pizzas (mac-n-cheese, etc), thin crust appetizer pizzas, or in other words anything someone can dream up. Also, the remainder of the menu from massive sandwiches to pastas is not too shabby either. After trying at least a dozen items in total at Danny Boy's now I have yet to have something I would not order again.
Service: 5. Busy or empty, service has always been great. They do a good job of turning tables over quickly for such a small restaurant, but without making you feel rushed.
When to return: A great place for a date, duh. Also despite Sinatra/Dean theme, no risk of having to sing karaoke which is also a plus. Not-so-obvious is that it's a great place to go with friends or family who like large portions, a great alternative to a Maggiano's or Buca-di-Beppo.
