   We were there on St. Patrick’s Day night so that may explain some of this (they were very busy)… Traffic was bad getting there so we were late, but they graciously held our table for us anyway.  The garlic knots were delicious. They never brought our onion rings until after we were done eating and ready to pay (1.5 hrs after ordering them!) so we didn’t accept them as we were full and about to leave. We ordered the deep dish pizza knowing it would take 45 to 60 minutes to bake. But it didn’t come out until way over an hour later. And our cracker crust pizza, which should’ve been much faster came out even later than that. The supreme deep dish pizza was burned on all the edges and the bottom, which did not make it very good, but at least there was a lot of cheese on it.  The thin crust was the deluxe pepperoni pizza, and it was delicious.

   Service was mixed, no one checked on us until we were finished eating. And the pizza choice (our fault) was with spinach dip (not spinach) which was weird. The salad had no flavor and not enough dressing, and again, no one checked on us. We needed to ask for pepper. Meh overall.

   There are so many good pizza places to eat in Chicago. I wanted to try a new restaurant. This place did not disappoint. The food is incredible. I highly recommend the whipped ricotta spicy honey pepperoni pizza. It was amazing. The atmosphere was perfect, and the staff was kind.

   Family of four, mom, dad, two 10 year olds. Visited at 11am on a Sunday. Our server was very nice and attentive. We ordered the Grandma with pepperoni, hot honey and ricotta. I don’t typically like thicker crust but OMG it was perfect! We also got the Cracker with pepperoni. This is the thinnest crust I’ve ever had and it was fabulous. We can’t wait to go back!!!
