    Southside Special
    Ben L.

    So I was craving Chicago style deep dish pizza, and looking at one of my regular places, suddenly realized in a panic that my regular pizza place had closed! A quick search on yelp revealed that Windy City Pizza had good reviews so I stopped by to check it out. I got the southside pizza and it was very good with a nice blend of sauce, cheese and toppings inside. If you are looking for a whole meal of a pizza in a single slice, look no further - highly recommend! I recommend calling ahead because Chicago style pizza takes 40 minutes to make. I called it in to the Chesapeake location, and it was ready for pick up. If you do happen to eat inside, there's a lot of Chicago memorabilia decoration and I heard the owner is originally from Chicago so that's pretty cool.

    Was craving pizza so I had to come get their delicious thin crust. My church family introduced me to Windy City and I introduced my husband to it. I had to create my own pizza due to the fact my husband doesn't eat pork. The medium was a good size & had plenty of leftovers. I got olives, mushrooms & banana peppers with pepperoni & bacon on one side and beef on the other.The pizza was fresh & tasty. My husband enjoyed it too. Definitely will be coming back for pizza night.

    Classic tasting pizza. Thin, crispy, staying true to what a pizza should be. Cool atmosphere, awesome staff, and the rest of the menu looks awesome.

    Chicago style pizza.. we were excited about this but it didn't live up to it! We ordered the Deep Dish pizza (it takes 45 minutes to cook). While waiting we ordered a sampler platter (cheese planks, corn fritters and hot wings). They were mediocre, at best. Everything was like something you get in the frozen section of a grocery store. The pizza.. it was just OK. The sauce didn't taste like much, it needed something more to give it flavor. The toppings weren't anything special. The crust was pretty good. The place is decorated in all types of memorabilia representing Chicago. There was only 1 server taking care of everybody.

    We've been coming here for years, and somehow I've never reviewed it. This could be for the best though, as my early reviews lacked substantive detail or information. You come here for the pizza. That deep dish Chicago style pizza. The other pizzas do look good, and even tonight I heard some patrons commenting that their pizza was better than another local place that is known for great pizza. That being said, I've never ordered anything other than the deep dish. I've never been to Chicago, but from everything I've read, this pizza is the closest you'll come to true "Chicago" pizza outside of the Windy City. The other food is good, wings, gyros, etc. and I've sampled some of that, but I keep coming back for the pizza. It has a 45 minute cook time, so there's been a time or two I've called ahead to order it so we wouldn't be waiting. The walls are covered with all things Chicago. Bears, Cubs, Bulls, and Blackhawks are well repped. Pics of the skyline, local Chicago products help to make you feel like you're in a pizza place in the upper Midwest. The service is good, just keep in mind that it's a small family run joint. You may wait a beat or two, but they always give great and friendly service.

    We've been dying to try Windy City, mostly because it seems to be the only place in the 757 that has deep-dish pizza which just happens to be my husbands one true love. We made it to the Chesapeake location this past weekend with a group of friends and ordered a wide variety of their menu. First things first, ambiance and service are lacking. There seemed to be just one server on a Saturday night for the whole restaurant, which meant that we saw her at the beginning when we ordered and when she delivered our checks. Luckily, another employee from the host stand stepped in when she saw that the server was swamped. Our server definitely was trying, but there were many awkward conversations, specifically when the server complained to us about previous tips from other tables. Unprofessional and weird. Another issue was that the specials board was apparently irrelevant. We tried ordering the specials listed and the server stated "oh those aren't the specials anymore. They've been up there forever". Unprofessional and misleading, which is easily fixable. It just seemed as though no one is currently caring for the place. In addition to these few things, they still have Christmas decorations up and they have tables covered in crayons and coloring books, which just looked messy. Their music machine is apparently also broken, so the whole restaurant felt eerily silent with no music. Food-wise, it kept my review above a one-star. Because the deep-dish pizza was pretty good, we would come back but only for the pizza and only for takeout. The fries and the fried pickles were served lukewarm and mushy. The wings were pretty good and so were the mozzarella planks. Overall, like stated above.... I recommend sticking with the pizza and doing takeout because the dine-in experience was severely lacking.

    Chicago style deep dish pizza and dogs
    Melanie C.

    My husband and I ordered takeout on a Thursday evening. He had just came back from a work trip in Chicago and really wanted Chicago style food so we were happy to have this so close by. Reviews online were very positive so we were optimistic. Hot dogs were okay, nothing special, but I do appreciate that they really do them Chicago style! The pizza was a bit disappointing. The cheese wasn't fully melted and we felt like they needed more sauce on top. I feel as though we may have just ordered on an "off" night since other reviews were so positive, so we may need to try again and get a thin crust pizza to try something different.

    The Heart Attack
    Nicole V.

    Make sure you have time. I knew it would be longer ordering the deep dish but they didn't say how long. It was just over an hour from the time we ordered to the time it got to our table. We ordered the heart attack and it was excellent. We also got the Italian sandwich with fries. I definitely wouldn't do the fries again. They tasted like they hadn't been cooked all the way. Although the sauce for the sandwich was nice and hot, the meat was not.

    12" Deep Dish, half cheese, half jalapeño, onions, and salami
    Kaitlin A.

    Food was really good, and as for portioning, it is great on that! The salad was super big, came with a good amount of dressing as well. Their ranch is nicely homemade, and their balsamic is also nicely blended. The pizza was really nice, the marinara was flavorful, the jalapeños were spicy enough, and you could actually pick up a slice if you wanted to. I'd go back if it weren't so far.

    Deflated Chicago style pizza.  Not a typical experience.
    Brian P.

    We love Chicago style. A little disappointed in the pizza tonight but the flavor was good. My brother and sister in law come in all the time. They love this place. Apparently when the owner isn't here the kitchen staff goes wild and doesn't pay attention. Incorrect food orders. Substandard pizza. I'm leaving 4 stars because they are typically great. Just a bad night. While the cats away...

    The first time in my life I've tried deep dish pizza, I'm glad I came here! We came at a time when it wasn't busy and got our food under the 45-minute mark. Also, we mentioned places in Chicago, and our waiter started naming names. The pizza was yummy yummy! Please try this place out! It is as authentic as you're going to get to true deep dish pizza!

I felt bad for her because she was working really hard on two very busy stations. The ambience is super casual so no need to dress up. So now lests get to the star of the show. This is the best chicken sandwich out and I'll put it up against anyone I've had anywhere. Well seasoned, tender, perfectly fried. The buns were potato bread so super soft, the sauces are fantastic and the variety of sandwiches is just enough to have a good amount of options. The fries are also delicious. À la carte so they are sold separately, but the portion makes it worth it because THEY ARE NOT STINGY! Flavor packed and great value for the cost. Last but not least the homemade custard is TOP TIER.
