“The service here is absolutely TOP NOTCH! The staff is incredibly accommodating, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. My family of five (including an infant) dropped in for lunch — and to take shelter from the rain — and we were met with nothing but generosity and kindness. The team went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of, making the whole experience refreshingly pleasant. On top of that, the pizza was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and served hot. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again, not just for the food, but for the people. Highly recommend!”
“So much love for this place. Small but cute and the girl working was very friendly. Reasonably priced and the Italian beef was tender as can be! The seasoned fried were crisp & fresh! I give this 5⭐️ Jerry (the pigeon) loves the outside seating in the summer!”
“What a lovely gem! Came across this spot as I was walking to my car after a meeting in downtown Chicago. Ordered a couple pizzas, sandwiches and salads to go and let me tell you the flavors were amazing! Took the pizzas to my construction site and the guys absolutely loved it - saying it was some of the best sausage pizza they’ve ever had in their life! Next time you’re in the city be sure to stop in and try a slice or two. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Un boui boui américain typique fast food. Tu rentres, pas de bonjour, le gars a l'air dépassé... Et tu passe commande sur une tablette à l'entrée... Pas top convivial 🙄 Je commande un italien combo deluxe (un truc avec du boeuf haché, une saucisse, des poivrons, de la mozzarella fondue... Et du basard que tu sais pas trop ce que c'est... 😅 La boisson... Erreur de ma part 👎 Un truc innommable au goût de beaume du tigre😅😅 On est à des kilomètres de toute gastronomie... Et pourtant, c'est super bon🤩 Boeuf tendre et goûteux, avec un petit bol et son jus... Goût vraiment délicieux ! Comme quoi... 🤪 Fallait que je tente... C'est fait.”
“Tried them out for the first time today the workers were so friendly the pizza and wings were great ! Prices aren’t bad and the music selection is fire🔥 finally a well rounded rounded pizza spot downtown worth every penny !”
“Pizza is fire & the owner is beyond kind. 10/10. Will 100% be back!”
“Haven’t eaten at this location before but the order was ready when I got there, person behind the counter was very friendly, and the food was delicious.”
“Great PICKUP spot for lunch!!!! I had one of their italian sandwiches, even though I originally went for their pizza. This is a phenomenal sandwich. The meat/cheese are plentiful, and there's a huge stack of dressed arugula on it as well along with the pesto. Besides the sandwich being delicious, it was enormous. This is the best taste/value in the loop. Phenomenal quality, great employees! I will be back regularly.”
