    Overall: 3.5 / 5 Classic Deep Dish: 3.5 Calamari: 3.5 Ceasar Salad: 4 Service: 5/5 Finally got the chance to try the Chicago Deep Dish! The crust was good. Different from a traditional style pizza, but good. I wasn't a huge fan of it however. The sauce to cheese ratio was off for me. A lot more cheese than sauce. The sauce is literally only on the top of the pizza, and the sauce is delicious! The classic comes with pepperoni and sausage, but it gets lost in the cheese. It's a lot of cheese lol. Calamari was okay. Nothing special. Definitely needed salt. The Caesar salad was delicious! Made very well. Overall, I thought the food was decent, and I'm glad I can check off "Chicago Deep Dish Pizza" from my bucket. I wouldn't doubleback, but if you've never had it and your in Chicago, you gotta get it!

    Well I finally had my first true Chicago deep dish pizza! I would've added more photos but I was a little too excited to eat. I had wings, yes delicious! I had a deep dish pizza with a side salad and lemon Greek dressing, yes delicious! I can only say this food did not disappoint at all. I wish I was able to bring it home with me, especially the pizza and the salad dressing because they both were amazing. The service was ok but honestly didn't care too much about that part because the food was the star of the sho and boy did it show out.

    Our very first time eating at this restaurant in Gurnee, IL! It was recommended to eat nearby the hotel. So, we tried it out for the famous deep dish pizza. When we walked in, got seated right away. There was one other table of people sitting there at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, (3/13/24). Looked over the menu and decided to order a Chopped Chicken Salad, a Large Spaghetti with Marinara sauce, a Deep Dish Pizza with Jalapeños, Onions, Peppers, Tomatoes, Spinach and Pepperoni. Got another custom Deep Dish Pizza with Chicken and Jalapenos. The server said 45 minutes for the pizzas to be ready... We got a Shirley Temple, a Diet Pepsi, Sprite and Water for our drinks. The atmosphere inside was kind of dingy, but very quiet and comfortable. After about 10 minutes, we got refills on drinks and the salad. Received the Pizzas after about 50 mins. Then after another 10 mins, got the Spaghetti. Didn't realize the pizza portions and sizes were so large! We figured the Deep Dish pizzas would be stomach fillers, but man were they huge and thick slices!!! Very cheesy!!! Tasted pretty good, just way too big. Had to take the Spaghetti to go since we were hecka full already from the pizza and salad. Maybe our expectations were too high? Didn't taste a single piece of chicken on the pizza. Maybe it was forgotten??? Ambiance and service - 4 Food quality - 2 Overall rating = 3

    This place was amazing. They were really busy as it seemed like all the Navy bootcamp graduates were in there eating. Still, the service was fast and friendly. The chicken parm sandwich was amazing and both pizzas were very good. Definitely recommend this place.

    Meat & more Meat Deep Dish
    Ariana H.

    Taste has gone down in 4 years or maybe I worked it up too much the first time. We came right before the lunch rush but the pizzas were still going to take 45 mins from when we ordered it. No problem, we'll have an appetizer. We ordered the same as last time Giordano's Sampler, the bruschetta was delicious but the cheese sticks and nuggets were ok. We ordered the Chicago Classic small, meat and more meat medium and one small pizza half cheese and half pepperoni for our kids for a grand total of $130. Meat and more meat Deep dish was the start of the day very flavorful and filling. The chicago classic was not good at all. The veggies were cold inside with the sauce and it gave it a dirty taste. The kids flatbread pizza was great for them. All and all I probably wouldn't come back as eager as I was this time.

    I need to take last star out if I can, I never ever had a pizza like that. Nasty disgusting soggy and looks super ugly pizza. Put extra olive in a pizza?

    Craving a deep-dish pizza. we went during off-peak time in the middle of the week. The waiter was perfectly on top of everything! One thing you must know is the deep dish pizzas take 45 made-to-order minutes, so don't act surprised while you're waiting. It says it takes that long, in writing, on the menu, people! Starters: came out in about 5 minutes. Cheesy garlic bread Minestrone soup Ceasar salad I think everyone was hungry and pretty much devoured it all. I decided to order Crumbl cookies while waiting since they were two doors down, But there is a shopping center adjacent to where you can take a stroll to pass the time. And true to their word, 45 minutes later we had: The deep-dish Chicago classic- Massive. Cheesy. And one slice was plenty. The crust was crispy on the bottom. I quite enjoyed it very much. I would come back for sure.

    Chicken sausage deep dish

    Food was great, not greasy and VERY filling. My husband and I shared a 10" deep dish and we both had 1 slice each along with a salad and we took the rest of the pie home. It wasn't a busy time that we went so it was nice. Noise level at the time we went wasn't too bad either. Kinda wish the waitresses paid a little bit more attention, we kept looking up to get some refills of our drinks and one of our drinks was a sprite and she refilled it with water :o/

    Rigatoni bolognese

    Poor quality, Poor taste! Would not come back ever! Visiting from LA and was excited to try this place after hearing the hype online, however our excitement was quickly let down. The rigatoni bolognese has practically ZERO meat in it. I found maybe 4 small chunks of meat mixed into my pasta. Picture provided. Thank god I only payed $12 for the entree and not the family platter. I should have payed nothing for it. Not only is there no meat, the pasta sauce itself completely lacks flavor. We ordered a deep dish pepperoni and sausage pizza as well, yet it feels like we're eating nothing but cheese, bread, and unflavored sauce! Who knows, maybe we were served one of the frozen pizzas they sell. Would never come back again. Extremely unfortunate I wasted my money here, so much for "Chicagos best pizza since 1974"! Could name 5 corner stores in LA that sell better pizza than here. Go somewhere else!

We had heard they were busy, many times with wait times. So we were surprised. The ambiance is really nice, A really nice Italian dinner restaurant. I started with an Old Fashioned and it was one of the better ones I have had. They really nailed it. There are a couple on their menu so I was sure to say "not the one with soda/selter". That a Wisconsin one :) We asked if the Caesar was large enough to split to start. They said yes. Great. There were 3 tables filled so it was finally not empty. Not sure why the bar seating was empty- looked like a great place to sit too. After ten minutes we gave our order, Chicken Piccata for my wife and I had the Pork Chop special. The waiter didn't come by and we didn't get our salad. He was busy making drinks for one larger party (the 4th table). Finally our entree's came. I asked what happened to our salad. He looked confused. I reminded him we asked if it was large enough to split and we would start with it. He was genuinely sorry. It happens. Then we ate the entree's. My wife's Chicken was flavorful and served hot. It was very good. My pork chop was closer to room temp rather than hot. The flavor was really good. Unfortunately I have a thing about eating my food hot, not on the cold side. I told the waiter. He was sorry and asked if he could have them heat it up. I passed .... Didn't want dryer food while my wife ate alone. The manager came over and insisted it didn't sit at the window. Not sure WHY he wanted to argue this point. I offered the plate so he could taste or even feel the dish at that point. He seemed genuinely wanting to help, but he didn't need to make us feel like we were wrong. Again - not the end of the world. So why 3 stars? My wife's food was great. The taste of mine was good. They didn't charge us for my dinner. Their Old Fashioned was out of this world (ask Omar to make it). The truth is we want to try it again and see if this was a glitch. If it wasn't a glitch, it's why they weren't packed on a Friday night.

Now let's talk about the appetizer... the shrimp with the Parmesan crust? 10/10. Easily the star of the night. We also shared a bottle of Riesling, which was only about $24, making it super affordable. Service was lovely. The staff checked in just enough without being overbearing, and they even surprised us with a birthday brownie, which was such a sweet touch. The ambiance was also really nice -- one of those versatile spots where you can dress it up or keep it casual. I had on a tailored sweatsuit, my sister wore jeans, and we still felt perfectly in place. It's definitely a spot you could come to for a date night, family dinner, or even a corporate happy hour.
