| - Several years ago I had Chicago style deep dish pizza in Chicago. I honestly forget what it tasted like, though I do remember liking it, and that it was like a pizza pie (!) packed with... uh toppings or fillings... as it were.
Now, several years later, I have stumbled across Chicago Pizza Kitchen, and I don't care if it is authentic or not, I LOVE THIS PLACE.
Sure the dining room is small, but it's in a strip mall with limited space, what do you expect? Any way, don't let the space fool you, everything about this place is delicious and fresh.
The massive pizza pies are fantastic. If you can't decide, go with the classic, it won't disappoint. A medium will easily serve four people with regular appetites or two to three with bigger appetites.
There will be a lengthy wait time for the pizza (it is a pie at this point), but it is well worth the wait of about 30 minutes.
While you're waiting, you might as well treat yourself to the homemade unsweetened ice tea (not brewed everyday, but a delight for iced tea lovers at $2/bottomless glass), or some of the appetizers (the onion ring loaf and spicy ketchup are a nice choice, greasy but nice.)
Ultimately, I could easily take the safe route and recommend this place by saying "if you want to try something different..." but screw that.
If you want some great pizza, go here!
end of review.
