    Pizza

    Highly recommend this gem in Andersonville. The Chubbies (Pepperoni Rolls) with ranch and marinara are a crazy good appetizer. We'd never had Detroit-Style pizza before, and The Goods was phenomenal! Every pizza pan in this place will end up looking like my attached photo here.

    Tried Fat Chris's as an alternative to Evanston's Union Squared. It was fine, but did not fully meet the mark for me. The pizza sauce has a unique flavor. I couldn't put my finger (taste bud?) on exactly what made it different than other pizza sauces, but there is something notable about it. Unfortunately, that was not enough to outweigh the dry corners of the pizza. The cheese and sauce did not go far enough to the edges, resulting in overcooked and bland ends of the corner pieces. Caesar salad was fine for the price, but not sure if amounted to the full 32 oz. listed on the menu. Apple strudel was tasty, though in my opinion probably $1-2 more than it was worth for the size, at least compared to local bakeries.

    Detroit Style 8x10

    Fat Chris's opened my eyes to how amazing Detroit Style Pizza can be! My brother ordered from Fat Chris's to celebrate the end of a crazy week and began telling everyone he knew how delicious it was -- including me. Not one to pass up a good food recommendation, I had to try it myself. My boyfriend and I ordered this pizza on a Friday night and we knew my brother was right after one bite! We ordered online for pickup and our pizza was ready in about an hour. We chose to go with the 8x10 - 4 slices with pepperoni on one side and ground beef on the other side and it was plenty for two. The crust is caramelized around the edges, which gave it a satisfying crunch. The cheese was also fresh and the tomato sauce unique and sweet. I dream about this pizza still. Long story short, if you're already thinking about it, do yourself a favor and buy this pizza!

    They're known for their Detroit style, rectangular pizza but to be honest, I've drifted away from deep dish, pan pizza, and anything that's thick like Detroit style. But why, you may ask? It's due to straight up greediness and gluttony. You see, I want to consume as much protein and veggies and cheese as possible and that means thin crust pizza!! :) And on this particular day, Foster Avenue was a bit too busy for outdoor dining so I decided to eat the pizza in the car and perhaps that enclosed space amplified the Cheesey, buttery goodness of the BBQ chicken pizza. After that first bite, I just knew I was hooked - the tangy BBQ, the chicken breast, red onions and that cheese - woah, I gotta come back for this. The other half was a traditional Italian style combo (the Goods) which was also very, very good. This place isn't too far from Jimmy's (Brooklyn style) and I would have to say that Fat Chris' has a leg up on the competition.

    If you are looking for a quick, no frills, delicious bite to eat in the area - look no further! My girlfriend and I were hunting for a last minute place to eat New Years weekend and stopped in. You order at the counter to do take out or dine-in. The dine-in area is pretty small, but it seems like they mostly do take out. You can build your own pizza (thin crust or Detroit style) or Stromboli/pizza fold for a reasonable price! Love that they have personal sized pizzas. I tell you I could sleep happily tucked into these perfectly pillowy soft garlic breadstick twists if I was that small. I have never experience dough that is so soft and fluffy. You have to order some. The Detroit style pizza was super tasty and crunchy. There weirdly seemed to be a lot of convenient parking on the side streets which was nice in the city on a Friday night. Definitely recommend for pizza and such.

    Detroit style pizza!

    I ran over to Fat Chris's for takeout during the pandemic. The staff was all masked up and I was in and out pretty quickly. If you're ordering here, you *must* get the Detroit-style pizza. It's the biggest differentiator on the menu. It's bready and thick, but doesn't quite have the crunch of a place like Jet's or Pequod's. The pizza has a very generous slather of sauce on top of the cheese, which I loved. The sauce here is quite a bit sweeter than you'll find at most pizza joints. We also picked up some Chubbies (pepperoni rolls) and I liked them, but I'm not sure I'd get them again. They tasted way better after I reheated them in a toaster oven so the cheese was melty. I'm not sure they're worth $2/roll. I imagine the pizza tastes incredible straight out of the oven. It didn't hold it's temp very well on my 20 minute drive home. The simple originality of the Detroit style with the extra sauce slather is worth a visit. I'm a fan of anyone who breaks out of the box with pizza.

    Went to Fat Chris on a whim some months back. It was late and middle of the week. I thought the pizza just mid and way over priced.

A slice is a lot but it's so good that you end up eating more. You can also reserve via Tock, but beware that the normal dinner time can be booked out early!

I make better salads and dressings! We ordered a large pan pizza which was overly salty with burnt crust edges. The cheese and tomato sauce were really good, but the saltiness killed it for me. The place was packed and very noisy. Not sure if it was quieter on the second floor. When you have lots of customers, it's important to have a system of checking the status of the restrooms very often. They were quite neglected. We often have out-of-town and foreign guests to host and show off our city to. We always include a deep dish pizza meal for their experience, and usually at Lou Malnati's. Always a great experience, especially the branch in downtown Naperville- consistently good. And Lou's really makes the best salad than anywhere! Sometimes for a potluck contribution I just pick up a Lou's salad, guaranteed to make everyone happy. However, our guests enjoyed the pizza and dessert; thus, I can give 3 stars for our experience at Pequod's.

Big bang buffalo- standard buffalo. Can't go wrong. Hot honey- pretty good, honey flavor, some sweetness Garlic galaxy glaze- this is really good if you like garlic flavor. I would get this again. Bayou in the sky- super super good. I would get this again. Hint of spice, hint of sweet. Carolina bbq- tasted like straight deli mustard. I would pass. The pizza, even though they advertise Detroit Style pizza, their take is more like Focaccia style pizza. They provide nice crunch, not enough sauce. Pretty airy dough. Drooling mushroom- they offer lots of mushrooms on top but the rest of the pizza was not too great. Next time, I would get Ham Radio- pepperoni, bacon, sausage, got and sweet pepper.

So delicious After getting it, my buddy had to get one too haha One of us had the moonwalk cheese, we go out for a lot of pizza together, and he said it was he thought his favorite of anywhere.
