text: FIrst let me mention that I am a Chicago native and this means I know pizza This place serves the closest to Chicago style deep dish pizza I have found since leaving home closer to Unos and Connies than Giorganos but we will take it This could be because their other locations are all in Illinois They also serve thin sliced correctly in squares double crust pan and stuffed Upon being seated the table receives free a basket of the most delightful garlic parmesan bread bites we have ever tasted These plus a salad would be enough for a normal persons dinner But no get the pizza and take it home A medium deep dish will feed your house for the next few days and warms up as delicious as first served Sadly filling up on the bread and anticipating a pizza meal was not enough for us We also ordered the cheesy bacon fries We were overstuffed but not sorry These feature real bacon two cheeses and dipping sauce We have never ever had fries this goodnThe restaurant is cute and comfortable with Italian country decor but a bit small A large party with children came in when we were in mid meal and we were asked to move to a booth so they could push all the tables on one side of the room together We did not mind moving unfortunately the large party with children in the small space subjected us to learning much more about the lives and activities of them and their children than we ever wanted or needed to know Size feels like a real restaurant in Italy without the outdoor seatingThey provide linen napkins but no tablecloths The staff provided regular checkins to see if we needed anything refilled beverages without being asked and the food was served promptly The server was extremely patient with an elderly foursome who did not understand their check or how to use an entertainment coupon close quarters we heard it all clearlynIn summary I would gladly chance the possibility of loud families in close quarters to feast on those delightful bread bites and the great pizza
