| - We've noticed this place and have been meaning to go in. I got a recommendation from a coworker who was a native Chicagoan so we had to check it out. It just took forever because whenever we're in this parking lot, we're heading into Naked Fish's. It took an extreme exercise in control for us not to head in even when our intention was to get some deep dish pizza.
With that being said, we went in, grabbed a seat, and ordered drinks, fried zucchini as an appetizer, and awaited our food. Decor was a splattering of Chicago sports teams and celebrities. Tables were spaced nicely so different parties didn't intrude upon one another's conversation. The fried zucchini was yummy. We saw other people being served before us who had arrived after, and after about 40 minutes, finally inquired with our waitress why that was. She explained deep dish took longer (we should have known, but it was our first time and would have been nice for her to ask and advise so we weren't getting frustrated).
In another couple of minutes, our pizza was out, and my, was it worth the wait. (Although, we'll probably call ahead to avoid the wait). We ordered it with pepperoni, pineapple and jalapeno. All conversation dwindled to muffled groans and MMMMMs full of hot, melty goodness with crust that was to die for. We were embarrassed because after all the grumbling that happened, we were all silenced after one slice apiece. It made for pretty good leftovers.
