| - 4:30PM - We placed our order online. Their site was easy to navigate but it really bugged me that they didn't put the actual size of the pizza online (ie. 7'' diameter, etc). Instead, there were suggested serving sizes. A small serves 2-3, it said. Well, I guess a small will do. Deep dish? Yes. The Malnati Chicago Classic, please. Uncut is better for take out, you say? Uncut it is, then.
6:15PM - Scheduled pick up.
I personally didn't pick up the pizza, so I can't speak for the ambience of the restaurant. However, the hubby did tell me the line for dining in was ree-di-cu-lous. At least an hour's wait, he guessed. The pick up line was a tad shorter but still fairly long, from what I hear.
Now fast forward to where I finally get to see the pizza in person. 30 minutes after the hubby picked it up. It wasn't as deep as I had expected and strangely, the tomato sauce didn't cover our entire pizza (Maybe the toppings shifted on the drive home?). But it was delicious nonetheless. We cut up the pizza ourselves and the cheese was fantastic. I'm no cheese connoisseur, but I eat enough pizzas to say this was some damn good mozzarella. Unlike your usual pizza, the cheese comes into direct contact with the crust, with the sausage and tomato sauce sitting above the cheese. The small was perfect for the two of us too. It was just filling enough and a medium probably would have put my stomach's capacity to the test. Did I mention that the crust had enough of a crisp but with some chewiness to remind you that this was indeed a deep dish and not a thin crust.
I most definitely will be back!
