Met another family group of 4 on a busy Saturday evening period and whilst we had to wait for our table due to straggling diners (and in a busy front of house section), from there food and service was attentive and prompt. Our server in particular had a few busy tables on her plate never missed a beat with ours and seemed not with others too. Plenty of pizza options in Chicago and this is one of the classics i will revisit.

Had a great time, and a great pizza, here. The serving was huge, but that meant breakfast the following day too!

Fantastic pizza! Highlight of the weekend visit to Chicago. The salad was amazing and we were so pleased they could accommodate the member of our party who has a gluten allergy. We will definitely be back. Our only feedback would be that the dining room was cold! There was an arctic breeze.
