We indulged in authentic Chicago deep dish pizza, which was amazing. The fresh tomato sauce was the best part albeit mild in spiciness. We really enjoyed the meal.The ambiance is typical for a pizza restaurant.

Fantastic location near the Hilton. We are here for a company meeting. The staff was accommodating as we added more people at the last minute. The deep dish pizzas were amazing. Three larges for nine people was perfect.

Still waited 15 minutes after the reservation time to get seated, even though we were early for our reservation. Once we got seated, the food was amazing. Best deep dish in Chicago.

Trying to get 9 people on time post conference was tough so we lost our table however once all arrived we went to the top of the list for the next table. Food was good. It takes a good amount of time for the food to be prepared so it was a leisurely dinner. Nice to try Chicago deep dish!
