Old Chicago Pizza Restaurant

Been coming here since they opened in late 70's. I've had pizza all over the world, including Chicago, NY, and throughout Italy, and always come back home here - this is the best, bar none. I always go for the double-crust, olive & mushroom, ask for pesto sauce on bottom layer and tomatoe for top, and add extra garlic. Over the years the crust on the bottom and middle has gotten a bit thinner, but it's still the best deep dish, double crust pie anywhere! Also, get a Lisa Isken salad to share, and finish with J.R. Rosen's cheesecake - you'll never have a better meal anywhere without a Michelin star. Prices have gone up over the years, but well worth it. Incredibly friendly & helpful staff. Genuine history in these walls, and oh so many great memories. (Look close at the brick walls, and you might see shells from where they dredged the Bay for sand to make the mortar. The bricks were made local too.) Downtown gets crowded so parking can be a challenge - be prepared to walk a block or two.

Grossly incompetent. Long wait time, mixed-up my order and while I was waiting for my order, they give me someone else's check and their credit card. I Don't recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Attentive and kind staff, great service. Blue cheese iceberg wedge lettuce was delicious! Lots of blue cheese. Mushroom and pepperoni deep dish pizza was very tasty, crust and all. Got a small, was more than enough between my mother and I. We each only had a slice and shared the salad. Took the rest home! Very cheesy, lots of mushrooms and covered in pepperoni. Old building was very cool to walk through. Oldies rock playing while dining, but not too loud. Tasty, satisfying food, good service, good atmosphere.
