Damenzo's Pizza

They're food has been great value for me, for more than 35 years. But I only eat at the original location. my favorite food is a Calzone

Ok-So, who substituted pizza-hut for my Chicago-style pizza order? I don't know, but anyone who's familiar with double-crust style pizza knows that if you order Chicago-style-stuffed pizza, you are ordering a meal.I'm Swedish, but like most people from Lincoln Park 60614, I know my way around a pizza menu. But being practical, I do like to have more than one pizza option, so I decided to order a stuffed pizza from a different restaurant than the usual suspect Giordano's while delicious- they skimp on some of the vegetable fixings, so you won't be very happy if you order anything other than cheese-stuffed-chicago-style-pizza as there weren't much spinach in the spinach-stuffed-pizza from previous orders so I simply started ordering the pizza in plain cheese although I have tried the mushroom and also the spinach to give other flavors a try- And being a Chicago favorite, I ordered a Cheese Chicago-style stuffed pizza, very specifically in the wording and request based on the menu options from the restaurant, Damenzo's which being near the UIC-downtown campus in UICvillage/tri-taylor in Chicago, IL located near west-campus near the medical library, etc. But unfortunately what was delivered was more of a pizza-hut-style-cheesey-crust flatbread-looking-type- pizza. Even focaccia-style-tomato bread would have been better, but it was so disappointing that I didn't even want to try the pizza that arrived, at all, although the manager was eventually able secure a refund based on the complaint. It was still early so I went ahead and ordered the stuffed favorite from Giordano's also near downtown-Chicago, but as typical with usual success as they deliver- despite the complaint being that the current 2024 chicago-style stuffed pizzas are no longer following the original double-top-and-bottom-crust recipe, but you will get a bottom crust stuffed pizza-pie but without the top- I don't know how long this has been going on exactly, as some restaurants will custom cater special orders including for stuffed pizza, but as is at present, it's kindof like getting a vegan potpie without a bottom crust- and anyone who likes potpie knows that a real potpie, even/especially vegan, has a double crust feature also, btw- but that is another rant/complaint for another issue. So, unfortunately grade D-minus for wrong order processed. And it looked awful, so I didn't risk trying it, however Thank you again for the refund. I am simply very disappointed that I will have to look elsewhere for alternative pizza options in the downtown area than the established local eateries near university.

I was very leery of ordering because there's some tough reviews. I decided to give them a chance because location was important. Pizza was piping hot when I picked it up. Looked great, tasted good too. Workers were nice and friendly when I went in to grab it. I'd def order again.

Been going here for years. Though,recently the customer service has been piss poor!!! I called to order a pizza on a Sunday afternoon. Someone answered. Then hung up on me! I called back to order and address someone hanging up on me. They then hung up again!!! I went to the store! Spoke with a manager!! He was very dismissive and almost didn't acknowledge I was complaining about someone clearly working at the counter!!! Don't spend your money where you're not respected!!!! Period!!! Foods been sloppy lately as well. Not the pizza though. Presentation has been poor and doesn't taste like they even care about what they give to customers!!!

Best Italian beef sandwiches in Chicago. It's kinda expensive but it's so good!! Haven't had their pizza in years but I remember I loved it when I had it

Good ole fashioned goodness (the cheesy beef) ...try it, you will not be disappointed. And oh, the rest of the menu is choice of many favorites!

As a child, my wife and her family used to come here for pizza. She had never tried their Italian beef until yesterday. We got 2 beefs, one with American cheese and sweet peppers. The other with mozzarella cheese and hots peppers. Over the years, we've been getting beefs from portillo's and Bueno beef. I must admit the beef from damenzos was the worst I've ever had. If you didn't know it was a beef, you'd think you were eating wet soggy bread. No flavor or texture whatsoever. The only thing good about the beef with hot peppers was it was a little spicy. Fire the cook or show them how to flavor their beefs. I'll NEVER buy another Italian beef from Damenzos on Taylor St. Ever again!!! Simply horrible!

Check, check and check one more time on prices. On Damenzo's website it lists linguini and clam sauce for $9.95. When I picked my order up at the restaurant it came to $16.40. I asked about the discrepancy and just got two shrugs from two different people. I asked who do I need to talk with to get the prices updated. One person shrugged again and the other said he talked with the owner about updating the site. I asked for a number so I could call and speak with someone about it. No one seemed to have the number available. According to staff the prices haven't been updated since "since 2004". I don't know if that's true. I'm just glad I had enough on me to pay for my order.

the restaurant that had my favorite italian beefs closed due to covid and when i tell you i ate one from demenzos today and i didnt know there could be another one even better then the one i use to eat thank you I highly recommend staff is friendly great service great prices

Title: Disappointed by Rude and Offensive Delivery DriverRating: (2/5)Review:I just had an unfortunate experience with Damenzo's pizza delivery service that left me feeling extremely offended and disappointed. While the person who initially answered the phone at the restaurant was very nice, the subsequent encounter with the delivery driver was nothing short of rude and offensive.From the moment the delivery driver arrived at my doorstep, their demeanor was unpleasant and disrespectful. His offensive behavior was completely uncalled for and left me feeling deeply offended. As a customer, I expect to be treated with basic respect and courtesy, which was clearly lacking in this instance.It is disheartening to have such a negative encounter with a delivery driver, especially when the initial interaction with the restaurant staff was pleasant. However, the behavior of the delivery driver has made it impossible for me to continue patronizing Damenzo's. It is crucial for any business to ensure that their employees, including delivery drivers, uphold a certain level of professionalism and respect towards customers.While I understand that this review may not reflect the overall quality of Damenzo's pizza, it is important for the management to be aware of the negative impact their delivery driver's behavior can have on their reputation. I hope that Damenzo's takes this feedback seriously and addresses the issue promptly to ensure that other customers do not have to endure a similar experience.In conclusion, I regretfully cannot recommend Damenzo's pizza due to the offensive and rude behavior displayed by their delivery driver. It is my sincere hope that they take appropriate action to rectify this issue and improve their customer service standards. And I still didn't get my food.
