| - Didn't go in here expecting much. Being from Chicago, I craved some really good deep dish pizza and saw this place made it, so I stopped in.
Parking was tight. Small parking lot in the back with little to no parking on a busy night...
There was a half hr wait but we seated instantly at the bar. Not my ideal seating but I don't like waiting, so it is what it is.
Bartender was friendly. Tried the Belini? An alcoholic slushi drink someone else had posted a picture of. I could be completely wrong on the name. Wasn't as strong as I'd like, but tasty.
We got a big caesar salad to start. Was big enough for two people. Was just ok...kind of dry in my opinion. Definitely could've used more dressing. Probably wouldn't get again- their other salads look a lot better anyways.
Somehow in all this, we changed our minds about deep dish (sorry chi town), and went with a "make your own" thin crust. I got sausage, pepperoni, spiced feta, roasted garlic, and spinach on my half and my husband got sausage, pepperoni, garlic, and bacon on his.
I was a little worried about my choices and how they'd turn out shortly after we placed the order. Those ingredients can definitely overwhelm a pizza. The wait was usual...half hr maybe?
Lemme tell you.....that pizza was one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten.......they didn't put TOO much of each topping, so you didn't get too much of one flavor overpowering another (aka garlic or feta). Everything blended perfectly and was so stinkin delicious I never wanted it to end......my husband loved his just as much.
Overall for the salad, pizza, 2 beers, 2 "specialty" drinks, and a tip....the final bill came to around $77. Kind of expensive in my opinion. Adding your own toppings individually can get kind of pricey so I'd probably get a pizza off the menu choices next time? Even though the make your own combo I got was DIVINE....
I'm giving this place 4 stars because despite some minor setbacks, the pizza was absolutely PERFECT. The pricing dissapoints me the most really. If it were cheaper, I'd frequent here once a week. Lol.
