Oh, the snotty Chicago snob in me strikes again!
After a much needed reminder for home, I decided to get some pizza. Nothing reminds me of home like a sausage, green pepper, onion and mushroom thin crust pizza. Thin crust does not = super ridiculous NY style thin crust.
the good:
- points for the "northside" and "southside" signs on the wall. Tell me you're from Chicago? I'll ask you what side. If you tell me anything but "North/south/west - side" and I know you're a burbie.
- DELICIOUS sausage
- great price! Take that Roselli's! Pizza should not cost more than 20 bucks for a large.
the medium:
- the crust is ok. It tasted too much like burnt crust.
- the sauce was ok. I disagree with the poster who says you can't put a sweet tomato sauce on a chicago pizza (see pete's on montrose, or dino and nicks on pulaski). Now, if it tastes like ketchup, we have a problem. But a tangy sweet-ish sauce is ok.
the bad:
- salty. Maybe I let it sit too long? Whatever it was, my pizza was SALTY. Saltier than sodom and gomorrah. Good lord, why did they put extra cheese on top?
- the owner is from Elmwood Park. I'll forgive you for this based on the sausage.
The excellent:
- SQUARE PIECES!! Finally, a pizza place in the valley that doesn't cut it into triangles!
Overall:
I'll be back when I miss home but I won't order the thin crust next time. I'll see how deep their deep dish truly is.
