“as far as we could tell, it’s closed and has been replaced by rental office spaces and a to-go cookie shop :(”
“I met Jenn, one half of the pizza business at Midwest Coast Brewing. They have a thriving business that offers pizza at 2 different breweries and at another location for take home. I actually found them through a Google search months ago, and made plans to sample their pizza while we were in the area. Needless to say, the pizza lived up to the hype.”
“We had Five Squared Pizza cater our baby shower at Midwest Coast Brewery last weekend. They are currently doing a pop-up at the brewery on Saturdays, so the logistics were simple and easy. The pizza was absolutely delicious, and Jenn was kind enough to arrange them beautifully on our serving tables. Everyone talked about how delicious the pizza was. The soft spongey bread with the caramelized crusty edges were the best pan-style pizzas that I've ever eaten. It even reheats really well in the oven or air fryer. Highly recommend them for your next catering event or just to try!”
“Awesome Detroit style pizza! Best I’ve gotten in Chicago. The crust has the perfect amount of crunch and great flavor. We got the Upside Down, Tie Dye, and Spinach Artichoke. All phenomenal, our favorite was the spinach one! Also, homemade ranch side dipping sauce is very tasty.”
“Pop up at The Mousetrap, but long term (?). Great pizza. This time we tried a seasonal special Reuben pizza along with some of the regulars. Always great.”
“Great pizza! Easy to take and bake at home so it comes out hot and crispy. The additional sauce on the side for dipping was phenomenal.”
“We had the best experience using this team to cater my mom’s birthday at Midwest Coast Brewing! We ordered salad and four different kinds of pizza, and everything was fantastic. They were prompt, professional, and I truly didn’t have to lift a finger the whole time. The pizzas came out warm and fresh, and every guest was raving about how good everything tasted. It made the celebration so easy and enjoyable highly recommend! Thank you Jenn!”
“I used Five Squared for catering for a private event I hosted at Midwest Coast Brewing and it was a great experience! I was able to schedule a time for food arrival, the food came promptly and was set up easily so guests could access and serve themselves, and I was able to conveniently pay on-site at the beginning of the food service to get the business out of the way. Would recommend and would use again!”
