    Pepperoni Slice
    Nizel A.

    Since I'm stuck inside for the next few days studying, I figured I would order some pizza. Doreen's ended up showing on my list. At first, I was hesitant because it's a local pizzeria shop in an area where the people there might not know what good pizza is. Also, from the other reviews the service is horrendous and I can't wait two plus hours to get a pizza, especially if the order will be wrong. In the end instead of ordering a whole pizza I ordered two slices, a Maxwell Street polish since that's hard to mess up and a chicken parmigiana sandwich. The order got out on time and it had all of my items so I'm happy. Now that I took a deep dive into the items. Pizza: Appearance - The pizza itself looked brilliant online which is one of the reasons why I wanted to order it. In person it looks about like an average slice. The mozzarella cheese is perfectly melted with good browning, the sauce is spread every so lightly in order to give you that perfect combination of cheese and sauce that we've come to love in Chicago. 5/5 Taste - The sauce on the sausage is a sweet sauce. It's a bit too sweet which might turn some people off. Tuning into the pepperoni slice it was clear that the sauce for the sausage was a mishap because the pepperoni slice tasted much better. I'm happy that I opted for it slices instead of a whole pizza since I didn't get burned. Everything works together well her. The pizza has a very robust flavor that makes you not want to stop. This is some of the best pizza I've had in a while. 5/5 Maxwell Street Polish: Appearance - Not quite as appealing as the photos online that have the works, but still a good looking dog nonetheless. There's plenty of sport peppers & onions on the toasted poppy seed bun. 5/5 Taste - If you make a Maxwell Street Polish that doesn't knock people's socks off...then you have serious problems at your restaurant. Luckily Doreen's doesn't have that problem. A perfectly executed polish that is extremely satisfying to devour. 5/5 Chicken parmigiana: Appearance - It comes on a pretzel bun which is a first-time combo for me. Initially you're going to be disappointed at the little amount of cheese and sauce on the top of the sandwich and then you open the bottom and there's more cheese and sauce so you're good. The chicken portions are also gigantic, but for $11 they better be. 5/5 Taste - The chicken itself seem dry although it is definitely quality white meat chicken. This seems to be mostly due to the fact that the piece is so large that the sauce doesn't cover all of it. The parts with sauce are juicy while the sauceless parts are so dry they can cut your mouth. Everything comes together really well although you do wish there was more cheese. 4/5 Overall, Doreen's seems to be one of those gems where they get everything right. Even the French fries are seasoned to perfection. I look forward to having Doreen's in the rotation of my usual pizzeria's especially since other pizzeria's have gone downhill recently (stares blankly at Reggio's.) Does it beat an Albano's or Paisan's? No, but they give an honest effort that would beat a lot of other self-proclaimed "pizzerias" & they would especially beat restaurants that don't focus primarily on pizza. 4.5 out of 5 stars

    Baked mosticolli

    Come on !!! I just started ordering again since the taco pizza incident. No sauce, Parmesan, silverware, napkins, or bread & butter. Baked mostacolli should be baked. Cold shredded cheese thrown on top. I know you can do better !!!

    Pizza pie yum

    Out of town truck driver and so happy the local business had a perfect recommendation. Ordered the stuffed pizza with sausage peppers and onions, my first chicago style stuffed pizza and it didn't disappoint. You can tell the pizza has all fresh ingredients, awesome dough and the cheese is real great quality!!! The meatballs, yum!! When I come back to chicago...this is my spot! I have to try some other things on the menu for sure, they know what they are doing!!

    Doreens "Philly Cheesesteak"
    Sammantha B.

    Wish I could give it a ZERO. What a let down. Looking to keep our business in the neighborhood while getting something different than our norm, instead all we got was regret and let down. A half onion pizza was delivered (with over an hour wait) as half mushroom instead. And the Philly cheese steak sandwich appears to be microwaved meat flopped on soggy bread. Stay far far away. There is definaltey better pizza in town.

    Really good food.  Very good employees.  Been there numerous times and food was always good.

    The pizza is pretty good. I've also catered from here for parties and their prices are reasonable as well.

    How many olives do you need to put in a greek salad? I'm sure not over 100. Chicken was pretty good grilled and used ice burg lettuce

    This was my second visit to The Dearborn, and the food and service were both on point. We ordered…read morethe salmon tataki, fish and chips, Wellington burger, and Midwest fried chicken. Everything was well prepared, but the fried chicken was the standout, especially with the hot sauce adding another level of flavor. The staff stayed attentive throughout dinner and even replaced our plates between rounds, which was a level of service I wasn't expecting. I also respected seeing the owner personally making the rounds, stopping at every table to check on the guests and the food. Calm atmosphere, solid hospitality, and a kitchen that delivers.

    OMG! Walk, run, sprint here to get the FISH N CHIPS THAT ACTUALLY BEAT BOBBY FLAY. The executive…read morechef and now chef partner, Aaron Cuschieri, is absolutely amazingly talented. I am used to really good fish and chips... I've never had better fish and chips than Tom Douglas's Mr. Fish in Seattle, UNTIL NOW!!!! Wow, wow wow wow! Do not pass GO, do not read the menu, just order the darn fish and chips! It might be a whole heart attack on a plate... But it doesn't matter... You can walk all of Chicago and burn it off. I decided to work out before I came here for this big splurge and I'm so glad I did. I can see that this is the theater district... And you could come here before a show fish and chips and have the best night of your entire life! I can't wait to try more of this chef's food! I'm BEYOND INSPIRED! ps great beers here toooooi!
