Pizza Chef

Ordered was quick and easy. There were a few guys working in there today and the kitchen is right in front of you as you walk in. This is carry out only BTW. I placed my order and took a seat to wait. Being my first time here I ordered my "go to pizza" which is pepperoni and sausage. I also got a small Caesar salad. The pricing was good. My order came out in a fair amount of time. Now for the food review. The Caesar salad is nothing to write home about. Romaine lettuce with some croutons and Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. The salad dressing was in a packet on the side and wasn't all that great. It's a national brand but I didn't look at the name. The pizza looked good and at first bite I liked it and the pepperoni was crispy like I like it. The Italian sausage had a very good flavor which is probably the best part. The sauce didn't have the zing that I was hoping for. It was more like a sweet tomato sauce. I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and have done so I have many other pizza places that I would rather go to. Would I go back? Probably not since it is take out only and it just didn't leave me wanting more.

This is our family's favorite place to get pizza from . It is a thousand times better than any of the chain restaurants. It's a bit pricey but what isn't these days ? We ordered here at the recommendation of our neighbors and we've never ordered from anywhere else since .

I really wanted to like this place. The menu sounded great. Unfortunately because we don't have a working car we have to get delivery, and because of where we live, only Pizza Chef and LaRosa's will come here, and we don't like LaRosa's.We tried ordering at lunch but they said they were 2 hours behind, so we waited and ordered for dinner around 7:30. They said it would be a little over an hour before we'd get it.It took about an hour 40 to get, but we got it. As soon as I saw the pizza I was a bit disappointed. It was clearly hand made and not frozen dough, which was cool, but it was small. I mentioned to my wife that it looked like it was between a medium and a large. There was a lot of crust around the rim, wasted space. We ordered extra cheese but there was hardly any on it, nor was there enough sauce to taste.We also got cheese sticks and fried mushrooms. Both of those were basic stuff, probably the generic stuff GFS sells, nothing special. They were cold and the cheese sticks hard. Not like overcooked hard, but like cooked not long enough and then cooled. The pizza was cold, dried out, and tough to chew through the crust. It all honestly tasted like it had been made a while before it was delivered and it sat under a heat lamp that barely worked. There's no way our food was made just before it was sent out.I'm seeing a lot of people compare it to Domino's, and there's no way. I like Domino's. This was more of a cheaper Little Caesars, which I also like. Maybe if I ate a pizza fresh it would be a different story, but this wasn't good. Yelp even said this is for people who like Reily Pizza, and there's no comparison, like, at all, other than their geographical locations. And maybe the fact that they both make pizza. Otherwise, if Reily delivered they'd run Pizza Chef out of business.On Google this place is listed as Pizza Chef Gourmet Pizza. I don't know about gourmet, either, but it's cute that they have such high aspirations.My wife ate 1 1/2 slices and said she couldn't do it. I had two slices and couldn't eat anymore. The corners of my mouth were rubbed raw by the crust.Don't get me wrong, it's edible, and I'll finish it, but it's not something I'd want to order again.I don't know how much help they have there, I imagine it could be low because everywhere is now, and I understand that. But I also know the business. I've worked in pizza off and on for 27 years. Even with a small staff, they could make it work. There's no reason why our food should've been that cold and dried out. I also didn't see a delivery bag. I'm not sure if the driver took our food out of it before leaving the car, but if it wasn't in one for the trip, that didn't help things.Our pizza also looked like it was sliced in the dark. None of the slices were close to the same size. Not a big deal, but it was noticeable. The 1 1/2 slices my wife ate were on the small side, so she didn't eat much. The 2 I ate were massive.I will probably order again. I'd like to try their Cincinnati chili. But I won't be getting the cheese sticks, fried mushrooms, or another pizza again. I probably won't deal with any of the appetizers either, if they're all the generic items every food supply chain sells. I see a lot of good reviews here, so I'm hoping this experience wasn't typical.EDIT: The following day I microwaved a couple slices and made them much better. It's still not worth writing home about. Basic pizza.

Always great quality food! We have been a fan of this location for over 20 years! There is plenty to eat besides pizza too, wings, salads and fried pickles!

I had originally given PiZza Chef a good review and High m right ark for a good food and friendly service. However, I must update when I receive poor service tonight I ordered an order of fingers and potato skins. And was told it would be 45 minutes to an hour and I said OK thanks for letting me know. An hour and 10 minutes later it was still not here and I called and they said they had just left. Keep in mind. The store is only about two minutes from my driveway so I waited another 15-20 minutes or I should say my husband did on the porch. He called them a second time and said it's been over an hour and a half ago we ordered and it's still not here and ask them to do a credit or partial they said to refuse the food and send it back and of course he didn't want to do that because his wife had been waiting for her dinner for what was an hour and a half. A couple of minutes later the food arrived and was cold. Keep in mind. We're only two minutes from their front door. And the guy answering the phone was rude and told him to bring the food back, but we had no vehicle which is why we ordered it in the first place. When it's your mistake and you don't keep your word about time of delivery. You should be more than happy to credit a good customer and they were rude not the delivery person, but theman answering the phone. So here's your one star review for cold food an hour and a half delivery and rudeness on the phone will be a long time before we order again from you. shame pizza chef!

Good pizza. Solid toppings. Can't order online. Wait on hold for a few minutes and talk to a person. A real person! Kind of old school. Like the pizza. That's a good thing.

Meh. It's pizza I guess. Don't get the desert brownie. It tasted like a tv dinner "brownie". The pizza was fine but no Millilos from back in the day. Unfortunately, I think Hamilton is fresh out of great pizza.Service is fine and I would recommend patronizing a local business. I would say Dominoes is better that really sucks to say.

Always awesome pizza and courteous service. We've never had a bad experience in the 17 years we've been ordering with them.

Great sandwiches! Fast pickup! Friendly employees! Close to home! Even have delivery!

The only restaurant that delivers to our home! Food is always great the drivers know us, very professional!
