Cappy's Pizzeria

I grew up until middle school in the Chicago area and hate the difficulty finding Chicago Style deep dish pizza elsewhere. I optimistically try every place I find that claims to have Chicago style pizza, and I tell myself that I enjoy it, but if I'm honest, every one of them would be considered bad if it were served in Chicago. Cappy's is the only exception I've found to that rule. Their Chicago style deep dish would be above average in Chicago. Even before I got my pizza, I knew it was going to be good when we got a cheesy bread appetizer. The dough on the crust was fresh and bursting with delicious flavor. The cheese was proper cheese, full of flavor with almost no greasiness.The service was great. Fast, friendly, comfortably casual but also professional. We had our twenty month old in tow, and it had been a long day for him, and they were great about making that as easy as possible on us. I also liked the vibe. Warm and casual, with wood tones and whatnot... Almost divey, but in the best sense of the word, where it was clean and properly put together but felt like a comfortable place to relax and have free flowing conversations. It's basically perfect for what I want in a place to get a casual meal with family or friends.

As someone originally from Chicago, I know what good deep dish pizza is all about. That's probably why I waited so long to try Cappy's--I didn't want to set myself up for disappointment or end up missing my hometown pizza even more. But let me tell you, I was so wrong. Cappy's is the real deal.First, the tossed salad. For about $6.95, it was huge--definitely big enough to share--and the dressing was what really stood out. It was this amazing Italian vinaigrette: tangy, flavorful, and just a touch sweet. It brought everything together and made even the salad memorable.Now, the deep dish. Wow. The crust was buttery, perfectly crunchy, and had just the right amount of char to give it that amazing flavor and texture. I went with the Cappy's Special, and every topping was fresh, generous, and delicious. It was everything I didn't know I'd been missing here.I honestly regret not trying this place sooner, but I'll definitely make up for lost time now. I'm already planning my next visit

I picked up a large NY style cheese pizza extra crispy. Sauce is a little sweet which I loved. Guy at the register was friendly and the cooks were working like a machine! Great service. Great outdoor seating. Great pizza!

Having lived in Chicago for many years, I'm always skeptical of so-called "Chicago Style Pizza." But Cappy's really measured up! In fact, it's one of the few places outside of Chicago that seems authentic. The New York Style pizza looked very good, as well. Service was friendly and accommodating.

Overall 8.5 /10Price to value 8.5/10Deep dish 9.1/10Service 8.2/10Vibe 6.6/10This place has been on my list for a while. It's pretty popular and I always noticed how busy it was driving by. I can now say I understand why. The pizza (specifically Chicago deep dish) is great. We got a large with sausage, caramelized onions and peppers and it had the perfect ratio of sauce toppings, crust and cheese. I'm adding this to my regular pizza list. You can't go wrong here. ESPECIALLY for the price. The toppings are 2.99 each on the large which is a little steep but for the taste and how filling it is I'm not upset. It was hard for me to tell if the sausage was there but I think they chop it very small so it cooks.I didn't try the New York style but I can't see it being better than the Chicago styleWe sat inside and it was a little snug and the wooden seats aren't the most comfortable. But the overall experience was very enjoyable.Definitely worth a visit!

Pizza was amazing! Staff was great! We will be back soon ! I highly recommend the deep dish pizza

I love their deep dish pizza. And the best Greek salad. Staffs are very friendly and my kids love their pizza too.

Being from Chicago suburbs and craving deep dish pizza can be tough while living away from home. We came across Cappy's and decided to give it a go, and I'm sure glad we did. We sat outside, and started with the Greek salad. The dressing was light and refreshing, the lettuce was crisp, there was a good mix of onions, olives, tomatoes, peppers, and feta cheese. The portion size of the small salad is very generous. I was surprised how much we got for the price of it. I would definitely get this salad again. We also split a Chicago style deep dish pizza with garlic and spinach. It came out hot, smelling great, and was just what we were looking for. Our server Rob was on top of it. I will definitely come back to Cappy's!

We ordered the NY style, so this review is on that pizza. They also have Chicago deep dish, which maybe better tasting. For us, the cheese and sauce was average, and the pizza was not cut all the way thru. Thankfully they gave us a steak knife to finish cutting the pizza (is this a thing?), which was needed. How much harder is it to cut all the way through a pizza.Regardless, the service is good- not exceptional and the best part is the outdoor patio. Great little family place, but there are better pizza places in town. We will most likely be back though as we really like the ambiance.

Deep dish is the way to go! Original Cappy's has all the best toppings. Can't beat the vibes either!
