First time at this location as it's FARRRR from where I live. But I read on their website that they offer true Chicago-style DEEP DISH! Well....just HAD to see for myself.
So I ordered a to-go pizza, with extra sausage (completely unnecessary), mushrooms and roma tomatoes. With all those "extras," this pizza weighed about 1,617 lbs! Well, maybe NOT that much, but this effer was HEAVY! Yup, that's my Chicago deep dish for ya!
Got it back home and we open some vino and partake! Of course, REAL Chicago-style deep dish requires a knife and fork. This pizza qualified as "real!" Definitely a fork and knife kinda pizza. When we got it home, it was a tad cold. I should have put it in the oven for 10 minutes to reheat but I was too hungry so we ate it on the spot!
The flavors were excellent! Very much like I remember a Connies or Uno's tasting like.....just still not Giordano's though....Oh well, can't all be perfect! I digress.....This VERY much was a typical Chicago-style Deep Dish.....sausage was done in a large "patty" and occupied the entire bottom of the pizza! Tons of mushrooms and EXTRA sausage (Excuse #1: My first time here so I didn't know the ENTIRE bottom of the pizza was laden with SAUSAGE - sue me!). They did add 2x mushrooms and some extra cheese. I don't know how much this bad boy would have weighted if we opted for Door #1....but we didnt' and thankfully this was a seriously bad a$$ Chicago-style pizza!
Definitely RECOMMENDED!
