“Excelente versión de la deep dish pizza típica de Chicago. Merece la pena probarla. Atención muy agradable por personal que habla español (gracias Paco). Además precios ajustados. Muy recomendable”

“The service at the restaurant was fantastic, the cleanliness splendid, everything spotless and in its place. Walid's service was very professional and cordial, always attentive to my needs and offering suggestions for the dishes. The pizza was delicious, cooked to perfection, with fresh ingredients and full of flavor. Highly recommended.”

“This is my boyfriend and I’s go-to spot! We first tried it when we stayed at the hotel next to it during his visit earlier this year, and even when we stayed somewhere else the second time, we still went. I’ve been to fancier restaurants, but their shrimp fettuccine is honestly the best I’ve ever had. My boyfriend doesn’t usually have a big appetite, but he loves their pizza and always finishes it. We also like upgrading to the Caesar salad instead of the house salad, and it’s so worth it. Their drinks are great too, especially since they’re on tap. Now that my boyfriend is moving here, we’ll definitely be going even more often!”

“This restaurant is delightful. The pizza is Chicago-style and huge. We ordered a medium-sized pizza for two (but I have a very good appetite and I love to eat well and tasty food), so this pizza is designed for three people with an average appetite. We also tried the local beer. The service was excellent. Many thanks to our waiter for that. We are extremely grateful and satisfied. Thank you very much for everything. When we return to Chicago, we will come back to eat the most delicious pizza on the planet ✌️👍”

“Had amazing Pizza during my stay at best western hotel. I met Walid, a great person which made the best pizza I ever had in my life, he is very friendly and welcoming! I felt like I know him for whole life. I would definitely recommend trying this place!”

“The restaurant's vibe is very traditional Italian, which was nice to experience and not something designed to be fancy. The waiter was super kind and friendly the entire time and gave us recommendations on what to order. I thought the price was fair for the portion, and while the pizza isn't anything extraordinary, it's very good.”
