We heard through a local paper that Fat Chris 's was closing on May 22, so we went to try the pizza. We sat in a booth and ordered on our phones. Fountain drinks were self-serve. We started with the Chuubies pepperoni rolls, which were amazing. The pepperoni Detroit style pizza was outstanding. We also tried several desserts: cinnamon sticks, tiramisu and chocolate cake. All were very good (but not as good as the pizza). I'm only sorry we didn't discover Fat Chris's sooner. Although it was a 30-minute drive for us, we would have gone back and more often.

Just ordered for pick up and it was so good! Will definitely order again. Sauce was a little over the top for me, so will request easy next time. But so tasty! Much better than Jet's. 😋

Crispy burnt-ended crust. Sweet sauce, gooey cheese. Undercarriage crust had crisp too. Phenomenal Detroit-style pizza.

Love their Detroit Style Pizza! It has an incredible crunch and the right balance of savory and sweet depending on your topping selection. I ordered the Samoan this particular night. In addition, the tiramisu was light and not overly sweet. It's more to my liking.

The young lady up front her name is Zoey is amazing. Food out of this world. A party in your mouth. I ordered a Chicago Dog, buffalo chicken pizza with brisket and chubbies. My god the chubbies are a slam dunk. If you have not tried this restaurant you’re missing out on great people and great food. The orders came out and told me thank you come on, you could not wish for a better place

For the price of a small pizza, this was honestly disappointing. Something about the overall flavor just felt off-whether it was the dough, cheese, or sauce, I couldn’t quite tell. With so many solid pizza spots around Lincoln Square, I’m surprised this place stands out the way it does. I usually avoid leaving harsh reviews for neighborhood businesses, so I’ll settle on 4 stars instead of going lower.

Will miss this place. Maybe the owners will sell the sauce as a side project? Best pizza pizza sauce in the city
