| - The hunt for a great local pizza continues. When I hear Chicago style pizza, I think deep dish, ooey-gooey, rich and delicious. This was the other kind, the thin kind, with a crunchy crust, and cut into squares rather than wedges. We might have liked the crust if it had some flavor, but truly it had the taste and texture of a matzo cracker. I don't think it could have been more flavorless if a deliberate effort had been made to make it so. After the first slice, neither Hon or I ate any of the crust. Well, Hon tried a few extra bites because he couldn't believe it was so tasteless. The rest of it, we cracked apart and fed to the birds.
Despite the really awful crust, the pizza toppings had good flavor. The sauce was tasty and there was just enough of it. We got a large pizza with sausage, onion, tomato, and black olive. All toppings were abundant, except the sausage. Fuzzy was a little stingy with his sausage. Too bad, because it tasted great. The cheese was plentiful and tasted okay, but I have a feeling it wasn't 100% real.
The restaurant is hidden around the corner from the rest of the Albertson's plaza. We did take out, but there are tables for casual dining in and they offer delivery. Service was quick and friendly and the menu has plenty of other options, such as Vienna dogs, Italian beef, and wings. If we ever try Fuzzy's again (unlikely), we'll order anything but the magnificently dismal pizza. One final note, it's a Pepsi place. No Coke.
Next!
