Windy City Pizza

Ordered a Chicago beef sandwich with fries. The fries are solid. The beef sandwich my husband liked and he would order it again. I like mine like Portillos-juicy and sloppy with all smoke (peppers and toppings on top). The sandwich was good just dry-for me. For my husband it was fine.

Service: Nice woman on the phone took our pick-up order. Also whoever was at the counter when we arrived was also nice and polite. Paid and she said it was going to be a few more minutes for the deep dish to finish. Inside: Mixture of tables and booths. Reminds me of your mom & pop restaurant inside. Bathrooms were clean. Food: Thin Crust Cheese pizza-amazing!!! So good! Love the sauce! Deep Dish- They didn't leave off the ham as requested on the "heart clogger" so that was a disappointing for my ham hating husband! Other than that snafu the pizza was very good.

Chicago style pizza.. we were excited about this but it didn't live up to it! We ordered the Deep Dish pizza (it takes 45 minutes to cook). While waiting we ordered a sampler platter (cheese planks, corn fritters and hot wings). They were mediocre, at best. Everything was like something you get in the frozen section of a grocery store. The pizza.. it was just OK. The sauce didn't taste like much, it needed something more to give it flavor. The toppings weren't anything special. The crust was pretty good. The place is decorated in all types of memorabilia representing Chicago. There was only 1 server taking care of everybody.

We've been coming here for years, and somehow I've never reviewed it. This could be for the best though, as my early reviews lacked substantive detail or information. You come here for the pizza. That deep dish Chicago style pizza. The other pizzas do look good, and even tonight I heard some patrons commenting that their pizza was better than another local place that is known for great pizza. That being said, I've never ordered anything other than the deep dish. I've never been to Chicago, but from everything I've read, this pizza is the closest you'll come to true "Chicago" pizza outside of the Windy City. The other food is good, wings, gyros, etc. and I've sampled some of that, but I keep coming back for the pizza. It has a 45 minute cook time, so there's been a time or two I've called ahead to order it so we wouldn't be waiting. The walls are covered with all things Chicago. Bears, Cubs, Bulls, and Blackhawks are well repped. Pics of the skyline, local Chicago products help to make you feel like you're in a pizza place in the upper Midwest. The service is good, just keep in mind that it's a small family run joint. You may wait a beat or two, but they always give great and friendly service.

My husband and I ordered takeout on a Thursday evening. He had just came back from a work trip in Chicago and really wanted Chicago style food so we were happy to have this so close by. Reviews online were very positive so we were optimistic. Hot dogs were okay, nothing special, but I do appreciate that they really do them Chicago style! The pizza was a bit disappointing. The cheese wasn't fully melted and we felt like they needed more sauce on top.I feel as though we may have just ordered on an "off" night since other reviews were so positive, so we may need to try again and get a thin crust pizza to try something different.

The food is not good, it's definitely not Chicago tasting either. Don't be fool by the name Chicago. It's no where near. Customer service ridiculous. You ask for your food a certain way, they make as they see fit. Do Not order the Gyro sandwich

My opinion has changed about Windy City Pizza, let's get into it...Admittedly, I'm generally not a fan of Chicago Deep Dish style pizza. That said, we recently had some friends over to our home for a get together and my Wife ordered pizza from Windy City. It was really good. The crust was beautifully cooked to a crispy golden brown. It was light and airy and everything tasted great. In retrospect, my first review was shortly after they opened their doors, so I'm willing to admit that it was unfair to be so harshly critical, for that I apologize.

We've been dying to try Windy City, mostly because it seems to be the only place in the 757 that has deep-dish pizza which just happens to be my husbands one true love. We made it to the Chesapeake location this past weekend with a group of friends and ordered a wide variety of their menu.First things first, ambiance and service are lacking. There seemed to be just one server on a Saturday night for the whole restaurant, which meant that we saw her at the beginning when we ordered and when she delivered our checks. Luckily, another employee from the host stand stepped in when she saw that the server was swamped. Our server definitely was trying, but there were many awkward conversations, specifically when the server complained to us about previous tips from other tables. Unprofessional and weird.Another issue was that the specials board was apparently irrelevant. We tried ordering the specials listed and the server stated "oh those aren't the specials anymore. They've been up there forever". Unprofessional and misleading, which is easily fixable. It just seemed as though no one is currently caring for the place. In addition to these few things, they still have Christmas decorations up and they have tables covered in crayons and coloring books, which just looked messy. Their music machine is apparently also broken, so the whole restaurant felt eerily silent with no music.Food-wise, it kept my review above a one-star. Because the deep-dish pizza was pretty good, we would come back but only for the pizza and only for takeout. The fries and the fried pickles were served lukewarm and mushy. The wings were pretty good and so were the mozzarella planks. Overall, like stated above.... I recommend sticking with the pizza and doing takeout because the dine-in experience was severely lacking.

I'm new to the area, born in IL and this is by far an exact of Giordano's in Chicago. Nothing else is even close to Windy City. Not only is the food outstanding but the owners are very friendly and you feel like family when you walk in the door. They also have games for adults/kids to pass the time as you wait for your true Chicago style pizza pie! We will definitely be back!

Ordered the 14-inch sausage and onions last night for dinner. The pizza was literally tasteless. It's as though they forgot to season the pizza. The only saving grace was the pizza was ready when I went to pick it up.
