Just fell in love with my newest favorite thin or cracker or tavern style crust pizza called the O'Keefe!!! It was such a hit with my family that it was the clear favorite amongst the three pizzas we ordered. The other two were a plain thin cheese (good but nowhere near the O'Keefe) and a classic deep dish (Halas'). The sourdough crust really makes it lighter on the stomach, don't get me wrong until now Pequod's was our go to but if we want a lighter deep dish George's has our vote!

George's pizza came on the scene a few years ago with their unique take on deep dish, using a sourdough crust. Acquiring a pie used to be almost as hard as getting face value tickets on Ticketmaster because you had to sign up for a slot. However, now that they have been in business for a couple years, they have an easy-to-use online ordering system, with usually an hour wait for pick up and 1.5 hrs for delivery. Like other reviews have mentioned, their deep dish is so good. They use fresh ingredients, and have creative combinations of toppings, but the ability to make your own. However, this year, enter their new sensation: tavern style pizza. This seems to be a new venture, but they are staying true to their sourdough crust. I have to say, this may be one of the best tavern style pizzas I have had in the city. It utilized the fresh ingredients they are known for, BUT the star was the perfectly crispy crust. Even the middle didn't sag. We reheated to eat leftovers and it still held its integrity. This is a definite must if ordering from George's!

Have been wanting to try George's as it's always mentioned on a best of list. Got a deep dish cheese and sausage to go. Ordering online was easy and it was a 45 minute wait. Picking up the pizza was easy ample parking around the restaurant. The sauce on the pizza is amazing and has a good flavor to it. The sausage is also really good that they utilize. The crust was decent but more doughy than I prefer.

Highly suggest dining in if possible as the pizza is at its peak hot out of the oven. Yes, this isn't a "standard deep dish" this is more of an artisan Pizza Hutt pan pizza in the best ways... crunchy bottom to the crust with a light fluffy layer above that topped off with a lightly caramelized cheese crust

This pizza is always great, I typically live 25-30 minute drive each way and it still travels well and tastes delicious. Friendly, family run space that's cozy inside. I've never eaten at the restaurant but would love to eventually because of how committed to great service the family always are at pickup. It also tastes just as good cold the next day while watching Bloodsport on your couch

We have friends that swear this is the best deep dish in the city. We finally tried it on hubbys birthday weekend. Would definitely go back. Limited seating but opted for takeout and Tivo. We got two pizzas, salad, and a slice of cheesecake. Tavern style cracker thin pizza was a make your own with mushrooms, half pepperoni, and half sausage. I can't believe I am saying this but it wasn't my cup of tea as it was too thin compared to others I have had. For our deep dish- we went with the spaghetti and meatballs! Yea. You Read that right. Pasta on a deep dish! It was really really good and the reason we will be back. They have a great website and it was easy to order and customize.

Wonderful experience definitely need to make this a stop on the list for Chicago deep dish pizza. Felt like I was sitting at my aunts house. Pizza was perfect did not need anything extra from the tomato sauce to the crust. 10/10 MUST RECOMMEND AND IM FROM NYC

Chicago pizza is so complicated. One place says tavern style, one place says deep dish. And in the west loop, they're attempting to pass Roman style pizza. I say we can have them all! George's is one of the few new styles I've had in a while. Their pizza is on a sourdough focaccia style crust. I was nervous about it at first but once I had it, I was hooked. The pizza was perfectly cooked, I chose a great combination of toppings, and I was very impressed by this random find. I ordered for pick up but the restaurant seemed very friendly and clean. The staff was more than happy to help out and even gave me some tips on carrying it as it was SUPER hot as well as how to reheat properly. I'm so happy that I found this place and will be back very soon!

First off, I absolutely love George's. I've ordered there at least a dozen times and have had a great experience each time... except this one. I ordered my usual pie -- Sausage, Pep, Garlic, and Giard. However, the toppings this time were different than every other time I've been. In the past, George used to use whole cloves of garlic on the pie. It was glorious. This time there was none that I could see. I brought it back and was told it was chopped this time and that id be able to taste it when I ate it. Well, my partner and I are it, and we might as well have not gotten garlic. The taste was hardly perceivable. I certainly won't order garlic again if this is how it will be from now on. Similarly, the giard was extremely small. Maybe that's just the brand that's being used now, but it seriously detracts from the nice crunchy texture you'd typically have from giard on the pizza. Lastly, the dough was very off, almost soggy. The crust was far softer than it has ever been, yet the cheese in the middle was burnt. Notably, George did not cook this pie. Maybe it's training issues with new staff, but my partner and I were shocked at how different the dough was. Ultimately, this experience actually deserves a 3/5. I'm going to give it a 4/5 because I love George's and have had many good experiences there. But the quality tonight was worse than it has ever been in my dozen + times going there and I hope that this isn't how will be from now on. Attached is a photo of today's pizza, and my same exact pizza ordered from here last year. The difference is quite obvious. Today's isn't up to the standard I hold George's too. Edit: the owner, George, reached out and assured me that he is assessing quality control. Due to the fact he reached out and my many positive previous experiences, I'm going to make this a 5/5. Will definitely revisit soon and hope to have a great experience.

This is NOT a deep dish pizza. It doesn't have a "dish" and it isn't deep. What it is is a round, puffy crust of pizza dough, with some sauce and toppings spread very thinly on the top. It actually has less cheese, sauce, and toppings than any regular thin crust pizza, and certainly not the double amount you would get if there were actually a dish in the pizza dough to hold it. The experience is like chewing an enormous amount of pizza dough with nearly no sauce. Very disappointing. I really wanted to like this pizza. After all, the place is friendly and smells great when you go in. But this is ridiculous

The pizza was absolutely delicious and well worth the 45-minute wait because it was made fresh. The setup isn't traditional; you order on a tablet, so there's no waitress interaction. It's a small place, but definitely worth visiting because the pizza is outstanding!
