| - Ok, small rant coming up...brace yourself.
Let's start off with the pizza....this is why you are looking this place up right? This is the reason why you get 3 stars guys....if the pizza wasn't good here, this would be an easy ONE star joint.
The pizza is amazingly tasty. The crust is super flavorful and soft. The sauce is awesome and tastes great. There is a thick layer of melted cheese that hides under all that sauce. Very good Chicago style pizza...best I have tried so far. The pizza is an easy 4.5-5/5 in my book...from end to end. It barely fits inside the pizza box, which is a good sign.
But there are many more negatives to this place that outweigh the good...
First off all, the place is a bar, and smells like a bar. Not a huge deal for me personally, but I would not bring my baby boy here to eat. I had to go to the bar to get my takeout, since the "restaurant" side had nobody there...nobody to greet in front. Again, since it is a bar, it's not a big deal to me, but if you come here expecting Metro Pizza/ Grimaldis, think again.
The sauce on top is not very aesthetically pleasing to the eye....I felt weird about taking the pic to show my friends, and realized that without eating it, it wouldn't look very yummy. Not important to me, but some people eat with their eyes. And because the sauce is all on top, the drive home (takeout) made the entire pizza's sauce slide to one side....I had to "paint" it all back on to eat it.
It is also pretty expensive. I ordered a small with 2 toppings, and after tax, it was a $20 bill. Take everything I just said negatively, and then you can see why I feel as though it is overpriced.
Last thing....I ordered fresh garlic and pepperoni. The garlic is most likely minced....can't really see it there, but you can taste it. But the pepperoni wasn't there! I am a dumbass and presumed that it was hiding under all that cheese and sauce, but after biting into it, there was no pep. (I didn't bother calling in to complain) There was NO one at the restaurant, and I guarantee there was NO one else calling in an order at the time, so how can you get my order wrong? How can you forget the main topping to my pizza??
The sad thing is, the pizza was so good, that I can still see myself ordering to go again, just triple checking my order before I leave.
