Chicago Deep Dish Pizza

My husband and I had been wanting to try this pizza for the longest.What we didn't know was that the establishment was not dine in. We decided to order online. Because we were already at the location, hubby and sat in the car and watched as our pizza was being made. The doors to the kitchen were open so I was able to see first hand, the guy (who I now know is the owner), grab everything with his bare hands. He made his way to the refrigerator, grabbed cheese, touching the doors and everything else around it. I then see him grab a spoon to scoop out the ricotta, and when the ricotta wouldn't come off of the spoon he was happy to.use his finger to slide it off on to the pizza.. multiple times. He then disappeared and reappeared with the basil pesto bread that we ordered. By that time, another customer had come in to pick up his pizza. I watched as he sat the bread down on the counter and went to grab the other customers food and hand it to him. Afterwards, he proceeded to make our food.By this time I had seen enough.I walked in and let him know that I no longer wanted the food because I wasn't comfortable with the unsanitary food handling that I had witnessed.He asked me why and I told him. The owner then asks me" what did I want him to make the pizza with, his legs?". I told him, preferably gloves. I asked for a refund and he refused. Sam the owner did not only have nasty sanitary practices, but his attitude and customer service was just as bad.

Ok this 5 stars was tough to give. The food was great. Guy helping me was great. Inside is small it's not an eat in type of place. For the area... prices are just too high. But if you want quality hood tasting chicago style thin crust, that's the place to go. Great sauce. But 2 pizzas and a salad cost me 80 bucks. It's a once in a while place for me. While it isn't my business, my advice found be to adjust the pricing a bit, aim for higher volume to balance out your bottom line. It's a pizza spot not a steak house. Go to chicago and find me a place that charges that high. Fam is all from chicago. Pizza is on par. Good job

Ordered a deep dish pizza from here for the 1st time and was very impressed. Toppings were plentiful, fresh, and it was piping hot when delivered. The marinara sauce was also super flavorful and tangy like I prefer. My husband and I ordered a "14 and could only eat 2 slices each, the benefits of a deep dish is there will be leftovers. So glad I found this place and definitely see myself as a regular customer.

Pizza was amazing more like thick crust but the best pizza in Arlington. Had the chicago supreme, and vegetarian, sears tower which was a table favorite!!Just a note more of a take out place. Will definitely be back!!!

Not a fan. We got the deep dish pizza (pepperoni & sausage). I didn't even finish A piece of the pizza. It was just wrong. Apparently I do not care for the taste of BEEF pepperoni and BEEF sausage. Sorry, but won't be back.

So I saw an advertisement for this new pizza place a while ago, and I said I was going to try it. Today I was starving and pizza sounded good. The reviews seem to be around average. I now see why the reviews came out to an average, because the pizza is just kind of average. But is an average a four or is an average a three? I'm just not sure it wasn't that it was inedible. It was edible and as others said it had a spicy sauce to it. That was nice and didn't seem to give me Gerd or anything. The mozzarella was just OK. I noticed on the menu the pepperoni is a beef pepperoni, and so is the sausage. Not sure that made any difference I'm not sure that the meat and I had red onions seemed all that fresh, not that it wasn't fresh. It just wasn't fresh fresh like you would get where at a restaurant where they try to make it so fresh. The ingredients just seem like they were purchased at a grocery store or a commercial food service. I didn't like the crust or the breading on the pizza at all. It had that weird almost like cornmeal on the bottom that you get on Red Baron pizza from the grocery store. Not sure why they put that cornmeal type of stuff on the bottom of grocery store. Pizzas now because I don't think it adds anything to it. It's sort of annoying. The crust didn't really have a taste. It was kind of a little hard or maybe dense would be the more appropriate word. As others have mentioned, I wouldn't call this a Chicago deep dish pizza at all. This is about the size of a pan pizza from Pizza Hut may be a little thicker, but if this pizza was any thicker, the breading or the dough would be probably really not very good. I'm not sure if this place is locked and loaded on the recipe. I think there's room from improvement. I think if the crust could be a little tastier the sauce is very good I think also maybe try purchasing the accompaniments from another place. So not the best pizza I've ever had but certainly not the worst. Would I ever order it again? I would be at a hard no just because I just wouldn't have a taste for this and I didn't like the crust. Also, the name of the restaurant is a bit deceiving because you think that you were truly getting a deep dish type of pizza and it is far from that. Wish there was a half a star because I probably would have put thiiadd a 3 1/2.

The pizza is amazing, ready on time and delicious. If you are looking for deep dish pie this will hit the spot.

I've eaten at this restaurant 3 times in the last few days. This is the best pizza I've ever tasted in my life. I'm hooked on this Air Jordan pizza & the Chicago Dogs.Chicago Dog

Okay, so the pizza is good, but it's not what I think is deep dish. Not like the kind you get at Gino's or Uno. It's more thick crust than deep dish. I ordered a pizza, and asked how long it would take. I was told 15 minutes. That's when I started thinking something wasn't quite right. Any time I've gotten a true deep dish pizza, it's always been at least a 45 minute wait.Pizza comes out, and while it was good, I noticed right away it had a thick bottom crust on it. Kind of like a french bread crust. The sauce and toppings were no thicker than any other regular pizza you would get anywhere else. Anyway, the menu has salads, sandwiches, wings, and other items on it that look interesting, so might be back to try some of those, but I'll pass on the pizza. While good, not really the way I like it. I was looking for a place to get true deep dish, and this isn't it.It's small inside, there are a couple of counters attached to the windows with stools for seating. Drinks are bottles and cans. Not really a good dine in place. Service was quick and friendly.

So made it back to try the pizzaNot badOven cookedSauce had good flavorWill get it once in awhile, will not be my go to pizza.
