    Came here on a friends recommendation. Ordered ahead as the deep dish has a 40 minute bake time. Ordered the deep dish cheese with pepperoni. It had a nice cheese pull and was very filling. The dining area was large and had sports games on the televisions. There is also outside seating. Good Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza.

    Pepperoni deep dish pizza

    My brother and I decided to try this place after he saw some ads on Instagram and got really excited for Chicago style deep dish pizza. The establishment itself is pretty nice, it has a bunch of board games, Django, and other games for what it look like kids to play. They had the soccer game on which was nice, and a nice little bar section with a decent beer selection. The staff were all very respectful and kind as well. The pizza took a little bit over 45 minutes to be ready which is normal for most deep dish pizzas. We had some jalapeño poppers before we got the pizza and they were lukewarm and not flavorful at all honestly. So I thought to myself well the Pizza's gotta be great... the pizza came out and had good presentation, but man it was such a letdown. We got the deep dish pizza with pepperoni and you could barely taste the pepperoni at all. The pizza was extremely oily and when I say oily I know a pizza supposed to be oily, but I mean really oily. When eating it the best word I can describe is it was just bland. I see a lot of good reviews for this place and to each their own for whoever enjoyed it. But if you're looking for Chicago deep dish style pizza, I really don't think this is it.

    The works pizza

    Dear diary, I was craving some pizza in the middle of the day and saw this place. When we walked in there was barely anyone there but the staff were inviting and explained the menu to us very well. We got the works pizza to split between 2 people and let me tell you we devoured it. Left no crumbs behind. We also got a beer and moscato perfect paring imo. It was a more laid back and casual atmosphere where we can enjoy our pizza and watch some sport on the tv. PS it's a pizza hard to mess up on that.

    Our waiter was nice. The mozzarella sticks were yummy! The pizza took forever and I didn't think it was that great. I wasn't even sure if the crust at the bottom was cooked. We ordered a tiramisu and it was still frozen when it came to the table. I was sadly disappointed because I was looking forward to having Chicago pizza since I had not had any after Pizzeria Uno had sadly closed.

    Deep Dish Meat lovers

    We ordered online and took about 40-45 minutes. It's best to do it this way if you're not dining in. We had the deep dish meat lovers. The actual pie itself in my opinion is good. No complaints except the sauce, I wished it was less. But from the cheese, toppings and how deep the pizza is legit. Ambiance is alright, not a lot of customers when we picked up. Plenty of parking.

    I've been wanting to try @chicagobrospizzeria for the longest time--seriously craving their deep dish, and let me tell you... this cheesy, overloaded masterpiece did not disappoint. Not only am I living my best life with this slice of heaven, but I also got to film how they make it . Watching that cheese pull in real-time?. Oh, I will not forget their spinach calzones stuffed with my favorite ricotta cheese... absolutely divine

    When we first walked in I didn't notice there was a bar to the left. We got two beers, a 14inch meat lovers deep dish and a Cesar salad. Total $64 Price was steep, but the pizza was 100% delicious! My husband said it was very close to Chicago style pizza. He was so happy. Overall, with my daughter. Husband and I we still have 3 slices left. The place was pretty chill, they have high chairs for your little one. I wish I would've noticed they had games on the side. It would've helped with my toddler: to keep her entertained. But we didn't notice until we left.

    Cheese deep dish

    Absolutely delicious my Wife found this spot and we must say it was amazing. we had a deep dish. The spot was clean and the customer service was really Good

    mini deep dish with cheese and pepperoni
    Paloma N.

    Came here for lunch randomly, I was craving buffalo wings, and they really nailed those! So crispy and hot, the sauce was good and the blue cheese was delicious. I also got the mini pie with cheese and pepperoni, so yummy and fresh. I couldn't finish it to myself but can't wait to heat up the rest later for dinner. Can't wait to come back and order the italian beef dip, suggestion from the guys there. They were also playing good music and not alot of people so it was nice relaxing lunch!

    Deeeep dish!
    Jason B.

    3.5 stars... We ordered this to-go previously and weren't impressed, but being from Chicago wanted to give this one another shot... Ordered the deep dish combo... lots of filling, great crust, and perfect cheese! Started with a salad and Chicago beer to round out the evening. Ambiance is strip mall cafe, service was at the counter, and prices are in line with the area. If we are looking for deep dish we now have 2 options in San Diego!

    Deep Dish Masterpiece
    Mariness D.

    We came here with a group of 7. It's a no frills place next to a lot of other restaurants. We ordered both types of pizzas - a deep dish and a thin crust. Both were good, but the thin crust wasn't that memorable. We also got an order of chicken wings and jalapeño poppers. The deep dish was good and very filling, so we didn't even really need the sides. Overall, it was a chill spot for all of us to catch up over some good deep dish Chicago pizzas and beers.

    Ask the Community - Chicago Bros Pizzeria

    Do you sell beer by the pitcher?

    Yes we go

    Are the slices of thin slice cut in wedges, or squares? The photos on the Website look like wedges.

    Wedges.

    Is there a separate area for group of 40?

    No there is not. It's one big dining room

    Do they sell pizza by the slice?

    yes we do sell pizza by the slice we have to two types of slices deep dish style and thin crust style.and we have a daily special for slices too it comes with two slices and a drink!

    Has there been a change of ownership recently? If so, when? I think it's been nearly a year since my last visit. The food and service was exceptional!

    Yes, there has been a change in ownership but I'm not sure when exactly it took place. It's definitely been a few months, at least. We have been since the change, though & we still really enjoyed the pizza!

    Is this Chicago Brothers related to the "old" one that opened in La Mesa way back in the late 1970s or early 1980s?

    This is not the original Chicago Brothers that has pizza and ribs. We asked the last owners several years back. Recently ownership changed but it still seems consistent. My husband loves Chicago deep dish and this is the closest to Chicago he can… 

    Is this place Dog friendly? (Outside patio)

    Yes! Please bring your dogs to our outside seating area. We’ll even provide a water bowl for them!

We never had to even think of needing water, menus, anything extra - it was brought before we anticipated it! Our server Tommy was wonderful & thought of everything. Now, the best part - the FOOD!! Their pasta is so obviously handmade in house, the texture and butteriness of the noodles was extraordinary. I ordered the fettuccine with the vegan mushroom sauce & added shrimp - divine. I think one of my favorite parts of the menu is the pricing with vegan items. Too many times vegan items are doubled in price & they had everything equal - INCLUDING the DELICIOUS cannolis!!! Such a wonderful experience. I cannot wait to be back!

Nathan, Sabrina and Johan were a primo team and outstanding on all counts. They made extra sure my guest was comfortable and most importantly, appreciated. The fried burrata was a star as was their caprese salad. Their spinach ravioli was delicious and despite how full we were, it was gobbled up. Their pizza was great as well as their arancini. The New Zealand Sauvignon blanc was delicious with a spicy finish. We ordered two bottles. The vibe is very communal and it got lively around 7pm on a Saturday. It was quiet and intimate when we arrived around 4:45pm so come a little earlier if you typically would like a quieter meal with fabulous food. Again, can't thank Nathan. Sabrina and Johan enough.

The meat was fairly tender, but it lacked flavor almost entirely. The sauce didn't add much either, and the risotto underneath was just okay. Nothing was necessarily bad. it was just surprisingly bland. For a dish that's usually rich and comforting, this one felt forgettable. Pesto Pasta: 7/10 This was decent and definitely better than the ossobuco, but it wasn't anything I'd go out of my way to order again. The pesto was enjoyable, and I appreciated that it wasn't overly acidic. Beyond that, it didn't really stand out. The cocktails were good, the service was fantastic, and the complimentary limoncello cake was delicious. That said, when there are so many great Italian restaurants in the area, I don't see myself returning. I left feeling like the food was more hype than substance. Food: 5/10 Service: 10/10

But I had no qualms about it whatsoever, as I was more focused on the experience of the food. I ordered the Fettuccine Bolognese while my boyfriend ordered the Piccante. I was pleasantly surprised with how quick my food came to the table, with my boyfriend's not too long after. Despite the portion size, the fettuccine filled me up well and the marinara sauce was flavorful. My boyfriend raved about his pizza as well as the chili oil provided for garnish. (You can actually taste the chili in the chili oil, so be wary of that if you're one not accustomed to large spice.) I had only tried the crust of his pizza, but even that alone, it was still delicious. A part of the reason for our visit was to try the Tiramisu and it didn't disappoint at all. It was the right balance of sweet mascarpone and rich espresso. Our server was kind and attentive to us, checking on us and giving us updates on our food. We were both surprised to see that after asking for the check, we weren't charged for the Tiramisu, a kind gesture we appreciated. Overall, my boyfriend and I enjoyed our time here. I'd like to come back so I could try the pizza with my boyfriend.
