Super excited that I don't have to make a trip to Chicago to try deep dish pizza!
This restaurant is tiny with only 4 tables and a bar.
We waited at least 40mins for a table for 3 people
We ordered a medium Classic Chicago with additional toppings of bacon, olives and basil. They don't have a drink menu but the server can tell you what they have.
$5 beer and $6 tap
The pizza came in about 30~minutes. The layering from bottom to top: crispy crust, cheese, meat, cheese, olives, basil, and finally doused in a saucy tomato sauce.
Surprisingly it wasn't greasy as I thought it would be since it was loaded with cheese. The sauce is on the sweeter side rather than savoury, which I didn't mind and quite enjoyed. Though I wished they didn't skimp on the olives.
On another note the pizza is only good when it's hot. When it's cooled, the cheese hardens and gives a rubbery texture. I like how the tables have parmesan and chili peppers shakers if you want more seasoning.
A medium pizza with no additional toppings is $29.
A medium is ok for 3 people to share since the dish is on the 'heavy' side, but my party and I could have eaten another slice each.
A trip to Chicago is much needed to compare how authentic this is.
But I had a great experience. I enjoyed the pizza and it was delicious. I would definitely come back if the wait isn't too long.
Decent and prompt service
