I came into Emmett's around 12pm with a party of 5. We were seated right away, but I would highly recommend a reservation if you plan on coming after 12:30 or 1:00, cause it filled up really quickly. We opted to order mozzarella sticks and the cheesy garlic bread to start. Both were excellent, but the mozzarella sticks only came with 4 per order so kind of awkward to split. It wish our waitress would've said something about that when we ordered. We split the Hot Papi flat crust pizza to split. We had opted to get the thin crust instead of a deep dish because the deep dish would take 30-40 mins to make. Honestly, our thin crust took about that long to come out so really, we could've just gotten the deep dish. That being said, the pizza was really good and I really liked it. Two members of our party got the Chicago dog and the fries were on point. read more

Deep dish Chicago style pizza was very good- takes awhile to bake, but worth the wait. Our server was the bartender too very attentive! It's a small place with some outside seating read more

I was extremely disappointed in my food and my service. I was left waiting on my order while people who came in after me got theirs (I've worked in the industry as a bartender, server, and host, so I know what service should look like and I have realistic expectations on timing). The person serving me seemed irritated by my presence and his overall demeanor was as if I was bothering him. Went expecting good deep dish and pizza I had was soggy at the bottom while the crust was burnt. For as much money as I paid for my drink, appetizer and food, I definitely expected better taste and better service. :( read more

This was my first time trying deep dish, and it definitely won't be my last! I am a pizza enthusiast (who isn't?) and I love to try different styles of pizza. I had never had any Chicago style before, and so my dining companions and I went to Emmett's to try them. We ordered a classic deep dish pizza, as well as a thin crust topped with italian beef and peppers. Both were tasty, but the consensus amongst the group was that the deep dish was the star! The waitress was incredibly attentive and was super helpful with serving the super cheesy pie. read more

Having eaten this pizza a month before visiting chicago for some business, I can say Emmet's plays the pizza game right up there with the deep dish heavy hitters in Chi-town (lou malnati's and giordano's). The sauce was laced with some sausage which complemented it perfectly, the cheese was enough and not overwhelming. All on top of a flaky crust that was so gently holding the sauce yet ready to crumble in your mouth. Street parking pretty much on mcdougal right outside so we ended up picking up a to-go order. Ended up eating half the pizza in the car outside. Definitely not a quick pick-up a slice or pie and go place. More so call in a reservation and sit down for an hour or so kinda place. But let me tell you: it IS worth it. Definitely recommended! read more

Emmett's - I drooled as I uploaded this picture - American Near Me - New York, New York

Overall, a very good pizza experience! We got the smallest size deep dish pie we could get to share between two people, and we still had leftovers. We got the pizza that was half sausage and half pepperoni, and the pepperoni half was noticeably tastier than the half with sausage, which didn't have as much flavor. This cannot compete with the best deep dish joints in Chicago, but it gets close and satisfies that urge for a saucy, gooey, cheesy experience. On a different note, we had the cheese fries as an appetizer, which were honestly a disappointment - the cheese felt like it was haphazardly thrown on there and the cheese itself tasted like that powdered cheese in macaroni and cheese boxes. Super weird, but the pizza made up for it! read more

Great Chicago style pizza here in nyc! This review is actually from a visit back in feb 2019- there was a light snow falling on nyc and I was walking about after having checked out the Warhol exhibit at the Whitney. This place was on my radar, so I popped in for a late lunch... first off, I've heard this place gets super crowded, but on a weekday afternoon, there was more than enough room at the bar. Great ambiance on a cold winter day. Lots of wood accents. The bartender was attentive, courteous, and friendly. On to the pizza... I opted for the thin crust as I've heard great things. I've heard great things about the deep crust too, but I'll have to try that later. Bar pie style- it was thin, crispy, and delicious. It was cut in the Chicago style which was fun. Toppings were generous and the cheese was not overwhelming. Good sauce too. All in all, it was a great experience. read more

Zero stars. I navigated onto their website and read they deliver. At 7:30 am, I placed an order to be delivered at 6:15 pm. I received an email confirmation that the order would be delivered at 6:15 pm. At 6:40 pm, having not received the order, I called the restaurant. No one answered, and I was placed into voicemail. I left a message inquiring about the order. At 7:15 pm, having not received the order or a return call, I again called the restaurant. Again no answer, and again I left a voicemail, this time canceling the order. At 9:00 pm, almost 3 hours late, the pizza shows up and I refuse delivery. They charged my credit card and now I have to waste time disputing the charge with my credit card company. Abysmal experience. read more

When you live in New York City but crave Chicago... go to Emmett's in Soho. Kos & Tello have yet to experience Chi-town together, but we hope to, and tonight, we played pretend. Tello first eyed this tiny bar and restaurant tucked just below Houston on MacDougal about two months ago, but it sat, regretfully, on the to do list knowing the calorie content that can come with Chicago's famous fare. But today, a morning of house work in 90 degree heat provided us the sweat equity we felt entitled to in order to experience this gem sans guilt. Kos tried a Chicago based IPA from Revolution. Great, not too hoppy, definitely potent, and having fasted for this meal, a little tipsy forward. Tello went for the Champagne of Beers which was an icebreaker with our bartender, who admitted to her own love of the High Life, and we were insta-friends. Tello ordered a Chicago style dog (Just the Dog to save the calories and the cost of the side of fries, chips or salad). Delicious, yellow mustard, green as Xmas relish, onions, hot peppery-goodness, tomato slices. It was missing the traditional celery salt and the pickle. However, for Tello, it was the perfect layover for the 30minute downtime whilst they oven bake our Medium Deep Dish, with choice of jalapeños, fresh garlic, and red onion. Ah... the pizza. Instinctively we both added a little crushed red pepper and fork and knifed into the giant masterpiece of sauce and cheese and carb overload. Sauce was pepper forward but also sweet, cheese... cheese, crust was actually lighter than expected for a deep dish. New York, Chicago, Sicilian or Napolitano, this is just straight up good pizza. We realized after our second piece we neither spoke to each other for 15minutes nor did we reach for that crushed red pepper. It had all the flavors it needed. We agreed we didn't need toppings, no matter how tempting those add ones can be, this doesn't need it, especially for your first visit. Go purist. We debated with our bellies over those last two pieces. Was it worth the stretched stomach? Ultimately, our desire to drink a few more High Life's and possible play a few rounds of MegaTouch, won over the tempting calorie pie monster and we carried the rest home. Breakfast!? Perhaps with an egg on it, while googling flights to Chicago. read more

10/10!! Super cheesy and delicious. The food came out hot & all at the perf time. The mozzarella sticks were gooey & the marinara sauce was great! The cheesy garlic bread was crunchy as well! The deep dish was the highlight of the dinner, and the cheese to sauce ratio was perfect. read more

At last, we can finally eat an insanely delicious, overwhelmingly massive deep dish pie without having to go to Chicago. There is literally nowhere in NY to get a good deep dish pie, so after eating at all of the major players and some of the smaller places during a trip to Chicago a few years ago, I've been itching to go back for another taste of that buttery, cheesy, mass of pizza. Luckily for us in NY, two brothers from Chicago have opened up a little spot serving up these deep dish pies, just as good as any of the great pies from the homeland. It feels like a bar inside - dark, with pretty loud music, and a bar where most of the available seats are. There are also some tables along the side, but it is a pretty small place. I came on Super Bowl Sunday, so it was almost completely empty, though they were pretty swamped with several pickup orders. These people were smart, because these beautiful pies can easily feed several partygoers. Just like all deep dish places, the menu has the helpful notation that pies take 35 minutes to make (I remember seeing 45 minutes listed on all of the menus in Chicago, which is what it ended up taking here, so don't bother trying to come here for a quick pie). My only real complaint here is that they need to get some more good stuff on the menu to order while you wait those 45 minutes for your pie. They could make bank if they offered up some greasy bar food or even some Italian style sandwiches or something like that instead of the few forgettable salads on offer (we tried the small Arugula Salad for $8 just because we of course needed something while we waited). The only other thing on the menu is burgers, but I feel like I'm the only person ridiculous enough to order a burger as an appetizer for a huge pizza (I actually didn't though). Also, if you come here and get the burger instead of the pizza, you need to sort your life out). Most importantly, the pizza was incredible, and just as good as some of the best pies from Chicago. It kind of doesn't look like it will be good, when it first comes out: a huge mass of red sauce, surrounded by a pale-looking, thick wall of crust. Once you taste it though, you see how wrong that is. It's more like 48 minutes before you can eat though - they set down an egg timer next to the pie, explaining that the cheese is still cooking in there, and that you need to wait before cutting into the huge, piping hot pie. After those longest 3 minutes of life, Emmett's brother skillfully cut the pie up into 6 huge slices and started us each off with one. Don't worry about getting caught like DeBlasio, you definitely need to start on these slices with a fork and a knife. As suggested, we got a Medium for the two of us ($20), topped with pepperoni ($3) and sausage ($1.50 for each additional topping). If you eat like a normal person, the smaller size is actually probably enough, as this is some heavy pizza. But it is so good, and so worth the heavy feeling you will have after. The huge wall of crust is actually delicious, and I ended up eating way too much of it. The sauce is slightly sweet, and the sausage and/or pepperonis had a little kick to them, making for a really great combination of flavors. Emmett's brother provided some good, friendly service at the bar, with friendly chit-chat while we waited. He mentioned how the menu is still in soft opening mode, and they would be adding several more items by the summer, like some Italian Beef and other Chicago specialties. I only wonder if they can handle the volume if they get popular, and I hope they can, as the pizza is excellent and I would love to come back to try some more great stuff in a few months once I feel hungry again. read more

Food was very good. First time having Chicago style pizza and being a New Yorker, this was delicious. What made the entire experience was our bartender/server Sydney. Not only was she helpful in what to order but her upbeat and fun personality made the experience. She's actually the only reason I'm writing a yelp review. Sydney gets 5 stars! read more

3.5 for sure at this point. After getting word that there's a place that served Chicago style pizza in NYC (finally!) I hustled over there, girlfriend in tow to try it out. The place is small and tucked away from the main drag which makes it seem like a little secret and even though it was really busy we got a table right away. We ordered their large sausage-basically a Chicago staple and the owner walked up to us. He was from the Chicago area and really seemed to know his stuff, calling the pizza here a mix between Geno's and...and then he stopped so we could form our own opinions about it. I mentioned to him how I heard that he'd be making an Italian beef sandwich soon-which inspires joy-joy feelings from me. He was waiting to perfect the giardineira first before putting it out there. The pizza-which takes time which is also standard for a pizza of this depth was pretty good. The sauce was tasty-a little too much sauce that it literally runneth over after pulling a slice out and the crust was a little thin for my taste (not that it was any less authentic, we all have our preferences.) The sausage, for me wasn't distributed enough, and even my not a huge carnivore of a girlfriend commented that she almost forgot we ordered a meat topping on it. When the owner came up to us when we were done he asked us what we thought of it. He was really looking for constructive criticism and when we let him know about our thoughts on it he really took them well. I feel like they're really trying to dial in their stuff to get a true Chicago style pizza and the owner is really great with getting feedback. I'm looking forward to coming back and then back again to see what it will be like after they work everything out and get the Italian beef online. read more

I've been coming here for years. It's likely my favorite pizza in the city - which normally would feel like too precious of a place to share but 2020. Also, yes, I recognize it's blasphemous to admit deep dish is king - too late. I'm a sucker for the classic cheese but never had a combo here that I didn't love. There's a long wait... for everything. So don't come here when you're starving or even close to it. The trick is to come a little before you're hungry to wait for a table, order some salad or something you don't care about and slap a few beers back while the pizza cooks (~45 min). By the time the pizza is ready your mouth will be watering. If I'm in the mood for pizza, am in manhattan and need some normalcy in my life this is where I go every time (so, all the time). read more

THEY ARE RACISTS!!!! The worst ever. I can here 8-14-2020. 1: The food was the WORST 2: The service was HORRIBLE 3: THEY ARE RACISTS After a great day out with my friends, we went there for beers and burgers. To start, our waiter brings us all warm waters then spills one on my friend and does not say sorry at all. The food was horrible... all of us had cold fries, the burgers were lukewarm and although we all ordered the same burger (chard cheddar burger) one was very different from the other three (A simple cheeseburger with unmelted cheese) We ask for new fries for all four burgers. After asking them to remake the burger, very nicely might I add, we received the burger back but it was simply the same cheeseburger just microwaved. We returned the burger for a second time deciding to just cancel that burger out. Our waiter proceeds to inform us that our meal has been, "taken care of" and, "we can all leave NOW, just leave". So crazy. So I asked one of the cooks who was the owner and he tells me it in fact was our waiter. So crazy We'll never return. read more

Please make sure to see the picture I posted of the deep dish pepperoni and sausage pizza that I picked up from Emmett's. I've been to Chicago many of times and can tell you, that's not a deep dish pizza. I don't know what that is. I'm pretty sure the pizza i ate 25 years ago in Elementary was better than this. My mind is blown. But hey...maybe it's a lot better when you dine in. Good luck to you. read more

Emmett's - Deep Dish Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza - American Near Me - New York, New York

It's no Gino's or Giordano's, but this is the best place to get authentic Chicago deep dish in the city, as far as I know. Even though the restaurant looks like a typical fancy Italian restaurant on the outside, the interior is one of the most crowded I've seen. The tables are placed next to each other and seat about 16 people. I would suggest you come in groups of 2, and at most 4 if you'd like to wait a little more. I came in at 7:45 and already had to wait perhaps 15 minutes to be seated, and I only came with my boyfriend. (I'd suggest coming early!) There's also a bar that seats about 10 people, and I didn't see anyone eating there, so I assume it's only for drinking or waiting for a table to open up. The place is definitely very cozy, but slightly uncomfortable--especially if you have large coats. Multiple people knocked over their wine glasses or utensils during my visit, so be careful! There's also really no great place to stand and wait for tables. My boyfriend and I ordered a medium pizza with sausage, mushrooms, and green peppers. Prices are pretty reasonable if you just get a pizza, especially with few toppings. I remember medium pizzas are $20 and large are $24, so I assume small are $16 and family-style are $28. The first topping is $3, and additional toppings are $1.50. Small and medium pizzas are generally for two people; large pizzas are for three, or perhaps two who want leftovers; family styles are for four. Just remember when choosing the size that you will probably be hungry due to the 35 minute cooking time and wait for seating. (EDIT: I think prices went up by $2 each.) Our pizza took about 40 minutes to cook and come out. It wasn't actually as hot as I would've liked, but was pretty delicious. My boyfriend is a die-hard NY pizza fan, but he had to admit that this deep dish was also great. The crust was great, just as deep dish should be. They're also decently generous with toppings, but sometimes the pizza can come out a little too saucy and salty. Service was great, though there's only one waitress for all 16 people and one bartender. The waitress was really nice and competent, even with all the people she had to take care of. I would suggest Emmett's to allow parties waiting to sit down to go ahead and order their food since deep dish takes about 30-40 minutes to cook. Most of the time, people are just sitting at their tables, waiting for their pizza to cook. Even with the small space, they could take care of patrons more quickly this way, especially once they become more well-known. Thanks to Yelp for helping me find this awesome deep dish restaurant! read more

Being a native Chicagoan I have a certain expectations for Chicago style pizza especially in another state. I knew that Emmett's had to be the real deal because another Chicagoan that is living in NYC highly recommended this place. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised by the pizza and the ambiance of the restaurant. I would high recommend going to Emmett's because the crust alone is enough to say you experienced Chicago style pizza. To be fair I will list out the pros and cons of Emmett's. Pros: The pizza is delicious and the crust is buttery and flaky They fill the pizza with a ton of toppings so you don't go hungry This is a great date night restaurant The staff are friendly and always have recommendations for you Cons: The inside is extremely small so I wouldn't recommend this place for groups (roughly 8 tables) Whenever there are regulars at the bar it gets kind of roundy and takes away from any conversations that you are trying to have Toppings are pricey and can add up quickly ($4 for meat and $2 for vegetable) Not recommended for groups larger than 2 read more

Emmett's - Stickers found on restroom door - American Near Me - New York, New York

Emmett's is my favorite thin crust pizza that you can order on Goldbelly. The crust is not too thin, and it tastes like you're at a real Chicago tavern-style pizzeria. They use high quality sauce, cheese, and toppings. This last order the sausage was raw, though. I'm posting on Yelp to tell them that raw sausage does not work as a pizza topping. The rest of the pizza cooks before the sausage is browned at all. I'm sticking with pepperoni until they acknowledge this, and I know I won't get raw sausage on future orders. So on the second sausage pizza, I thawed it, took the sausage chunks off, and browned them in the oven for 10 minutes separately before I cooked the pizza. Then I put them back on the pizza after it was cooked. This came out much better than the first one that I cooked with raw sausage on the pizza. I'd love to try their deep dish! read more

Only deep dish pizza I've ever liked. Takes a fairly long time to get your pizza but they tell you on the menu it'll be at least 30 min beforehand so it's to be expected. Servers we're very friendly and laid back. Will be coming back on our next trip to NY! read more

During my Trip to New York, I wanted to try some pizza and the most recommended place was Emmett's so I said, sure why not try it! I called to see the waiting list and they asked me what time I was going to get there and I said in 30 minutes. They took me by surprise when they told me they were gonna reserve me a spot when I got there. I recommend people to reserve a spot before they get there too because once we got there, the place was packed! And when I ordered a deep dish pizza and ate some, I finally understood why everyone likes coming here! The pizza is literally a commercial cheese pull pizza!!! It was amazing! The sauce was nice and flavorful, the cheese was hot and it melted in your mouth. The crust wasn't too thick or too thin it was buttery and crispy. The waiters really check up on you even when the place is packed with people! read more

The only square cut pizza I've ever had before Emmett's (tonight) was at Barone's Restraurant Sherman Oaks, CA. By square cut, I mean literally the usual wedge cut triangle comes I the shape of a square cube. So far I'm 2 for 2 with this novel cut as both times not only were both delicious but easy to handle and extended the time to consume your pie. Emmett's is the lovely little restaurant in Soho that's not only affordable (a big deal in NYC) but also comfortable and very good. Our Caesar Salad was this large basic (not frou frou) bowl dressed just right with crouton crunch and parma/anchovy flavors. Our Nadine pizza was chalk full of basel, tomatoes and different cheeses. The Belgium Pilsner we choose were these light crisp quenching brews that really enhanced our meal. I have a real Love Story with New York City and the whole pizza thing. Emmett's kept that story alive and well last night. read more

I was born and raised in New York and the very best pizza is made in New York. In my personal view, what they sell in Chicago or is otherwise labeled Chicago Pizza is not pizza. Once you recognize that what you are eating is simply a different category of food, and not pizza, you can begin to enjoy it. While there are many good Chicago-style pizzas made in Chicago, some of the very best is being made at Emmett's. Each pie is made to order so it is fresh. The crust is crisp and tasty and cheese and tomato sauce are plentiful. With a cold beer, it is a great meal. read more

100000/10 This place is awesome! It is thee definition of a hole in the wall, but luckily we grabbed a spot at the bar. They do take reservations though, which I recommend just in case you don't get as lucky as us. The draft beer choices were great; all local and craft. They also had a wide variety of craft cans. The pizza was to die for. We kept it simple and ordered a 10" cheese deep dish. It was cooked to absolute perfection and was the perfect amount for 2 hungry people. The restaurant is very tiny, which results in a calm and quiet atmosphere. Yet staff and customers are lively and loving life. I can't wait to head back. read more

As close as you'll get to chicago deep dish in nyc. We got the cheese louise, delish. Crust was good, carmelized, slight hint of sourdough. Not as much sauce like you'd expect with chicago deep dish, but nonetheless good. Can you really go wrong with melted stacks of cheese on quality bread?!?! Give it a shot. Takes about 45 min to make. It can get soggy if you let it sit too long, typical of chicago deep dish, but not always. read more

Pizza is actually good (I'm from Chicago) but the service is not. I felt like the server was racist bc me and my friend were the only Black people in there and she literally ignored us the whole time but was attentive to all the white customers.

Came across this Restaurant through the Huffington Post and wanted to see what this place was all about after reading about how people were waiting three hours to try their Chicago deep-dish pizzas. We came in here around 10:30PM on a Saturday night and luckily there wasn't even a wait! Maybe we would've waited for hours if we had come here around 6-7PM? The restaurant is on the smaller side with maybe six tables, along with some seating at the bar area. Once we got seated, we were immediately promoted by our waitress and were that it would take them 45 minutes to make the pizza, no wonder why people had to wait three hours to be seated! We went with sausage and pepperoni deep dish pizza and the pizza wasn't as good as we had anticipated. I really enjoyed their tomato sauce, cheese, peperoni and i LOVEDDDD their sausages- the ingredients were fresh and more superior than most other places in my opinion, but the crust just wasnt really doing it for me. The outer crust was a bit too hard for my liking- it wasn't exactly crunchy- but more like straight up just hard. Then some bits of the crust would be a bit too chewy..... Overall i just wasn't feeling the crust, but other than that, the pizza was pretty good! read more

I'm all about the bar pie right now. That being said, I skipped the deep dish for the bar pie. Emmett's is a bar- a charming one on one of the prettiest streets in the Village. This place is popular and small. Ate: Arugula salad Bar pie- half pineapple The rocket salad with apples & walnuts was spot on- perfectly dressed. The thin crust came out lovely - round cut in squares, made to share. Crispy, tasty, but with no semolina finish on the dough like Denninos- I found the pizza pedestrian, but might try the deep dish at a later date. read more

After living in Chicago for two years, I'm clearly showing a bias since this is one of the few places for traditional Chicagoan grub. BUT - we ordered an a Italian Beef on a Thursday night, fairly early in the night, and they just flat out didn't have any giardiniera - huge disappointment. The 4 is for the nostalgia, but I look forward to trying again to be proved otherwise! read more

I really enjoyed the deep dish here -- I don't know if it's quite at the same level as some of the top places in Chicago, but it's easily as close as I've experienced in New York. We got one with soppressata and one with spinach and mushrooms. Both were great, but I surprisingly liked the veggie one more. We didn't get any sides, which I regret to some extent, since they look awesome on here, but that (and the thin crust) will be something to look forward to next time. Two medium pizzas were more than enough for four people -- we were all stuffed, and we still had leftovers. I would definitely recommend going at off-hours -- it is a very small place, and while we were able to sit right away at the bar, that was only because we got there pretty early. (Also, the bar was pretty cramped -- I would definitely prefer a table next time.) Regardless, I am excited to have this as a default deep dish option in NYC. read more

I'm a native New Yorker, but I like to think of Chicago as my playtown. Chicago pizza isn't pizza. It's fucking casserole. But it's fine, because if I'm eating deep dish, I'm out here to eat a casserole Took my friends here last week and grabbed a tiny table. There's no happy hour. Thumbs down but whatever, we're here to eat. We get the supreme which is meat, peppers, sauce, good shit. You can half and half a pizza which is good and cool. Takes about half an hour to get our food. Which is fine. Our waitress cuts it up and serves the pizza, weird and infantile, but ok sure. We take a bite. And it's flavourless. Even the sauce is flavourless. I'm genuinely confused, thinking maybe I've just lost my tastebuds. Nope this casserole seems to have no seasoning at all. Total bummer consider I do like Chicago style. This is a poor fake of the real good stuff. Shame. read more

Emmett's - Looks really melted but it was actually just a mess lol - American Near Me - New York, New York

The person handling pick up was incredibly rude. He accused me of not paying for my extra toppings although I selected everything through the app that was available. Essentially he blamed me for an error in their system. Then when I challenged him he very rudely left my food sitting there to get cold while he sliced and served a white couple pizza seated at the bar just to prove a point. I don't know if that's Emmet himself (who I hear is often behind the bar) but whoever it was was deeply uninpressive as a server. Don't work in the service business if you aren't interested in serving graciously. I'll also note that this pizza is ridiculously over priced (close to 40 dollars for a small three topping pizza). They are lucky they are the only decent deep dish in NY. I highly suggest those looking go to Lions Tigers and Squares instead, black owned and not full of pretentious jerks. read more

It pains me to write yet another bad pizza review, but here I am, in the Mecca of all gooey pizza goodness, wishing I had just stuck to Papa Johns which is at least consistent in its mediocrity. Ordered from Emmett's via UberEATS following a late-ish in the night food craving, ordering fairly basic essentials: mozzarella sticks and a pepperoni thin crust pizza. I knew things were not going to go well when I bit into the thick, barely fried, semi-stale tasting mozzarella stick, cooked as though inspired by lightly fried fish filets, and it seems my powers of premonition hadn't left me yet. The thin crust was certainly not NY-style, which I can appreciate, but it was completely lacking in sauce (see sauciest "slice" in the photo below), cheese (despite the order of extra cheese), warmth, or the ooey-gooeyness that makes pizza so pleasurable. Whether off their game or worse at delivery than dining-in, Emmett's has firmly landed on my list of "never order from here again, no matter how desperate or trusting you might be in the moment." read more

Came back tonight to try the pizza. We came in around 7:30 on a Thursday night and it wasn't a problem to get a table for 4 (two adults, and of course the two teens). A little trouble with ordering, as the server seemed to maybe not speak english too well. But pointing to the items on the menu worked just fine. After ordering the Goose Island beers, the bartender (Dillon) came on out to ask if we were from Chicago since we went straight for the Goose Island. Hubby explained that we had been here last week and he recommended them...and then Dillon apologized for not recognizing us and proceeded to chat us up. Adorable (as I've stated previously). The pizza was delicious. We got two - one with veggies and one with meat. I am not an expert on Chicago style pizza, but I will go on record as saying it's Zachary's-worthy and those who know what that means will get it. Oh, what the hell - here you go everyone else: http://www.yelp.com/biz/zacharys-chicago-pizza-oakland When the pizza came, Dillon brought us out two glasses of wine that he said he loved with pizza. I have no idea what it was (even though he told us LOL) but it was delicious and he was right - it went awesomely well with pizza. As we were leaving he came out from behind the bar again to say goodbye. This is the neighborhood place you wish to have....so go ahead New Yorkers....go. You won't be sorry. read more

I wanted to like this place but it did not live up to the hype. I had nyc styled pizza and apizza ( Connecticut styled) my whole life and was open to trying Chicago style pizza. Ordered the classic- sausage green peppers and onions $30. There was a bit of a wait. It was messy. Definitely not as good as thin crust or grandmas slices. The sauce was very thick and I didn't like the way it was seasoned and it was definitely like eating a casserole. The sauce was a bit too salty for my liking. The crust was very hard. It did hold up the sauce well. The toppings were okay. I guess Chicago pizza is not for me. read more

We have tried to eat here three times and left disappointed every time: - once we sat at the bar and were ignored for so long we left - once no one was available to seat us, so we eventually got tired of waiting and left - this morning we waited outside before they opened and were then told (when they opened) that they were closed for a private event (party of 10?). They could have easily posted a sign on the window or something but they didn't. It is easier to fly to Chicago to eat than it is to get food here. That's what we plan to do. read more
