| - I drive by this place everyday and have never been inside, so yesterday I was feeling the urge for something new and stopped in. Many items on the menu looked delicious and the pizza smelled awesome, but that sounded like too much food...I ended up ordering the Italian Sub and the Cheesy French Bread with marinara to-go. I did not realize the sub came with a side of fresh cut fries, so it ended up being a ton of food, but I was not disappointed!
The French bread is made in-house and tastes good. It came with Italian spices sprinkled over the top and the perfect amount of cheese, not to mention perfectly cooked (little crispy along the edge). The only negative, it was a bit skimpy on the yummy marinara sauce.
The Italian sub was also tasty, no special meat or anything but delicious nonetheless. The fresh cut fries were a pleasant surprise considering I didn't realize they came with my order :)
The service was great and the gentleman at the counter was very helpful and informative. Chizona's has been around 11 years and has a Midwestern vibe inside. Lots of Chicago sports memorabilia on the walls and the smell of pizza, hot-dogs, and pizza puffs...yum! I should note for all the Chicagoans that it is NOT deep-dish Chicago style pizza, but it looked good (have not tried it yet). If you want to deliver, he informed me there is a $10 minimum. Also, they have walk-in specials (i.e. Vienna beef hot-dog, fries and a drink for $4.99). I have no doubt, I will be back for more!
