Yes, it's a chain. But it is a local chain, family owned. There's a reason it's busy. Quality food. Sometimes the service could be better, sometimes it's outstanding. The appetizers are wonderful. We get the Chicago style thin crust pizza. Some folks may not be familiar with this style pizza that is popular in the south side of Chicago. This is not hand tossed pizza like NY style. It is machine rolled thin crust. Very thin. And delicious.
The dinner salads are large and fresh. Very tasty and a great value. Everyone raves about the ice cream and cookie desert...because it is AWESOME!
Plan on a wait to get a table, and a wait for your food. It's worth it. A family favorite at our house.
Hint: only for you fellow Chicagoans...green olives are available as a topping.
