My favorite pizza! Great for takeout, they always give a liter of pop when you pickup. I love the sweet sauce which makes it different from other Chicago...

It is very sad to say that I have been ordering pizza from this location for years now !!! Love their pizza. To my surprise I called in today to place an order and after the amazing person who took my order finished my order she placed me on hold and a few seconds after a gentlemen took over the call. Stating that they won’t deliver because his driver refuses to deliver since he had a bad experience in the past of being robbed . He said If I wanted to wait until their other driver was available for him to do my delivery but he didn’t know when that would be! Who would wait for their food for a longer time just to get it delivered by someone who does want to do their job? Frank went off on me saying I was selfish for wanting pizza (food) and asking for him to send his driver to deliver it and get robbed and potentially killed. That seems too extreme!!!. My ears couldn’t believe what he was saying. He as well said other things that did not make sense but I rather keep to myself. This was a very scary conversation and experience. I have a sick mother at home freshly out of surgery and I am her care taker. All I wanted was food to be delivered and make it easier on me and have a decent meal.

We came here after the original restaurant we wanted to eat at was full and didnt wanna go to some tourist trap downtown. You know you've struck gold when you find an old Italian restaurant owned by the same guy since its inception decades ago and he comes out and greets his patrions, thick accent and all! The interior is old and vintage (adds to the charm!) and the walls are full of autographed photos of random and obscure Bears players and celebrities who have dined here through the years. The food is amazing!! So worth driving a half hour out of the way for. He also gave us the bill on a hand written ticket 😂 and gave us free dessert. this is everything I could ever want in a restaurant. This is exactly how it should be done. The one drawback is the price. Be prepared to open your wallet here because it is not cheap. It was 100% worth it to us, but it was the most expensive restaurant we have ever eaten at for 2 people and an appetizier. Totally understand with this economy and all, but something worth noting! Thanks for an amazing meal!!!
