“Fiest of all, Emily was an absolutely fantastic waitress! She was so nice and attentive. The pizza has to be the best pizza Ive had in my life! EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious! Highly recommend!”
“Great stop while in Chicago! Good as expected… Kyle was great with recommendations and service!”
“I had a birthday party with a group of my friends at the restaurant. Pizza was hot right out of the oven, appetizers were great. I am kind of biased I think Lou Malnatis has the best stuffed pizza. I like it better then Giordanos.”
“Aside from the food (A+) the service was excellent! Thanks Kevin you were great!”
“Wow this place was absolutely amazing. The pizza was beyond delicious, the crust was thick and crunchy how I like it and there was basically a slab of sausage across the whole pizza. Amazing. The bartender was fabulous and charismatic. And the overall atmosphere of this place was wonderful. I really recommend the fried mushroom appetizer”
“I got the keto-friendly crust made with sausage, and it was just okay. I requested it well-done, but it didn't feel like it was. It's also very pricey for a small size—almost $30 with toppings.”
“The service is great. The waitress was very helpful, she let us know what is the most popular. I ordered the lasagna and the house salad 🥗. I would very much recommend this place. Great service and good food.”
