| - This place was recommended by a friend who lived in Chicago and said, "this place has the best deep dish in AZ!" I took his word and decided to give this place a shot.
You know when you arrived at this location when you see a bright Lou Malnati's sign. When you walk in your greeted immediately by a cute hostess girl who promptly looks for seating. As your waiting you'll notice that the restaurant has a really nice layout, a full bar, patio seating with fire place and the décor on the walls were neat to look at.
Here are my list of con's. One, my friend and I requested to be seated by the fire place which seats were available at that time. Our hostess agreed and said, "she would get the table ready for us". Sweet! Well due to a lack of communication, another staff member didn't check in and sat a couple before us in the seats we requested first. Our hostess apologized and sat us somewhere else. No biggie but would have been nice.
Secondly, I don't suggest ordering the Twisted lemonade from their cocktail menu. It just tasted like diluted Gatorade with no liquor. It wasn't worth $8.95. In my opinion this cocktail needed fresh squeezed lemons, a shot of vodka, perhaps a shot of Grand Marnier and mint leafs as a garnish. Boom! I just made that shit up.
Now last but not least the Pro's. After, not being seated in the requested table. The manager did apologize, offered to take off our appetizer off the bill, and a free desert. Cool! However, the appetizer still remained on the bill and I didn't want to say anything because I'm not at the position to remove it of my check. Whatever! I still paid for the Calamari which was delicious. Also, the deep dish pizza was THE BOMB!!
Overall, the experience was decent, our waiter was informative and suggested some things on the menu. I really would like to give this place a 4 but a 3 was deserved. I definitely will return hopefully for a better experience because their pizza is truly AMAZING.
