| - Ahh, this brings back childhood memories. Finally, one of two of my favorite Chicago deep dish pizza joints made its way to Vegas (the other being Lou Malnati's). Located on the 2nd floor of the Bazaar Shops at Bally's, patrons can opt to eat inside in a nice cozy atmosphere with a bar area or downstairs outside where there were heaters to keep warm.
Inside, we were treated with great service all around. It seemed like the staff kept vision of our table at all times with the corner of their eyes. Every time we finished an appetizer, they came right over to clear the table for the next dish to come. Water glasses were always filled as quickly as we drank them down.
Minestrone soup for starters was hot and hearty and it was a nice intro to what would be a delicious dinner. Even my daughter's chicken fingers for some reason tasted better than the average chicken finger. Of course, we came for the pizza.
This is not going to be your quick sit down, eat, and go restaurant. From time of ordering, the server will tell you it takes about 45 minutes to make your pie. It certainly isn't quick but it certainly is worth the wait. Double flaky light crust, thick gooey melted cheese followed with all the toppings and pizza sauce on top. As our server served out each pre-cut slice of pie to our plates, the signature cheese stretching from the pan just makes your mouth water as you prepare to take your first bite. The pie is so thick, make sure you're using your fork and knife for this one!
You can't really go wrong with any of the pies here. If you love meat, the "Meat & More Meat" will be your best bet. Pepperoni, sausage, salami, and bacon will keep your carnivorous self content. If you so happen to desire to sway from the norm, salads, pastas, and Italian beef sandwiches round out the menu.
Overall, a nice experience, hardly crowded, plenty of food, reasonable prices, great service, full stomachs. Welcome to Vegas, Chicago. Your food is always welcome here.
