The sauce had a great aroma and taste, and the ingredients that they use for toppings were a high quality.

Wow! I can't state with enough enthusiasm how great the pizza is at Lefty's. We stopped in on…read moreSaturday before heading to the Skokie Theatre to see A Streetcar Named Desire. Lefty's has a very small dining room with limited seating (during the warmer months they offer al fresco dining) and a counter running along the main window for additional seating. In this instance seating and interior are secondary to the superb quality of the pizza. We started with a Sketchbook IPA and Peroni beer on draft. They were brought to the table in chilled glasses with a nice head of foam. The beers were presented in glasses with the beer names etched on each of the glasses. Outstanding presentation! For our entree we ordered a 16 inch thin crust pizza with sausage, green peppers, and mushrooms. When it came to the table it was hot and bursting with a sweet aroma and bouquet of colors. The pizza was topped with green, red, and yellow peppers, mushrooms, and chunks of fresh sausage. The sauce was sweet and plentiful and was amply covered with generous portions of melted mozzarella cheese. The pizza was hot and the blended flavors of the combined ingredients were superb. Finally, an establishment that values the quality of ingredients and consistently delivers. Lefty's is one of the very best thin crust pizza's on the north shore. "Pizza is [Lefty's] love language, and [they are ] fluent in it". Bravo!

Great atmosphere, even better food. I can't wait to come back!

Anthony Bourdain claimed that Burt's Place was the only deep dish pizza he ever loved…read more This was my second time here. I came last year for my birthday in the fall, and my sister loved the pizza so much she wanted to go for her birthday this past July. The patio is great to have during the summer because they can seat a lot more people, and even on a Tuesday evening their patio was packed. My birthday was on a Sunday last year, and we had no problem getting a table for 7 inside around 6pm. I actually preferred sitting inside. Something about eating deep dish pizza during the fall inside of a cozy dark restaurant just made the experience even better for me. I've been to Pequod's about three times already over the past few years, and it is definitely one of my favorite pizza's in Chicago. Until last year, I was unaware that Burt's Place was the original before Pequod's that started the caramelized crust. I love the caramelized crust, but it is definitely an acquired taste and some people will claim it just tastes burnt (they don't get it). Comparing this pizza to Pequod's, this one seems much more thinner and less doughy. It might be because we got a large, so the dough was just spread out more thin. I do wish I came here and tried this pizza when Burt was alive because many reviews online claim that the quality has gone down or it just doesn't taste the same. Either way, it's an iconic pizza shop that everyone should try at least once!

Driver arrived promptly with not only our food but an additional pizza. Driver tells me the owner (Lenny) remembered our conversation from 5 years ago regarding the Grandmas pie not being the same as years past in not a good way. Let me know then the recipe changed causing a change in the dough so stopped ordering this specific pizza. He sent the pizza for me/us to try again as the recipe has been changed back to before and it was absolutely fantastic!! Will definitely get back to ordering on a regular basis. Talk about knowing your customers and excellent customer service. Will continue to always be a customer. Please support a great local business that knows its customers. Than you Lenny for the pizza!
