   Delicious! I really like how any pizza you pick can be made on cracker, NY, grandma, Sicilian & Detroit styles. The back room had the vibes of outdoor dining on a patio with the brick walls and fairy lights strung up. The service was good, the professor himself stopped by our table and checked in on us.

   Delicious pizza! We designed our own on the yummy Cracker crust: fried artichoke, mushroom and hot honey. Great! This is the perfect spot if you’re heading, as we were, to a show at Second City. It is literally next door!

   All of the staff was super personable and welcoming, from our server all the way up to the owner himself. Even servers who weren't assigned our table would thank us for coming in or tell us to enjoy our meal. The owner, Tony, introduced himself to us after we finished our meal and made some small talk while he cleaned our table. Super nice vibes in there. I've seen reviews talking about the long wait, but we did not have that experience. I think the fact that we made a reservation helped tremendously. We came on a busy Saturday night, and yet we were seated promptly and served quickly. Even though they warned us about a long cook time for the pizzas, the food came out right on time. Make a reservation. Oh, and the pizzas were awesome. Deluxe Pepperoni is the way to go. The Gabagool is also good, but not exactly my cup of tea. Both the grandma crust and the New York crust are spectacular. We didn't try the cracker (Chicago tavern style crust), but I'm sure that's great, too.

   My daughters that both have celiac were excited to get delicious thick crust pizza that was gluten free. No one got sick and everything was delish! They also helped us get paid and ready to go quickly so that we made it on time to the show next door at Second City!

   What a great place! The pizza was outstanding. We tried three of the four different types. Our favorites were the cracker and Sicilian. The deluxe pepperoni was the favorite by far. The service was excellent and atmosphere perfect.

   Seemed like an off day. Service was slow and pizza crust was blackened.

   We made a reservation for my friend's birthday who was visiting from out of town. We asked our server for her suggestion of thin crust pizza's and she recommended the grandma style. So we ordered the pepperoni pizza with Mike's hot sauce and the veggie one with mushrooms. While the crust was crunchy, the pizza's lacked flavor. I was also disappointed that when we asked for several soft drinks, such as sprite or lemonade, they did not have. The server was not the most enthusiastic individual and lacked personality. And on top of it, the restaurant did not acknowledge my friend's birthday. I'm disappointed that I recommended this restaurant. Maybe I visited on the wrong day, but I would rather go to Robert's pizza in Streeterville.

    The tavern pizza is fantastic-especially the sauce.
