    Sauce was watery and tasteless. Thin crust pizza was hard with little to no sauce.

    I reserved a table a month before for my daughters' 7th birthday. We drove to Chicago to go to go to the American Girl dog store. An hour before we left to the restaurant I saw a recommendation to order the pizza a head of time so we did. When I showed up to the Restuarant and the wait was out the door long. I was so nervous since I had 9 people with me. We got sat right away and within 15 mins our pizza was out! I was AMAZED. The food was amazing and so was the service. Thank you SO much we will definitely be back!.

    Overall a good experience! Loved the crust on the classic pizza The pizza takes a while so always best to pre-order. To wait, we had the garlic Parmesan wings and fries and they were amazing!! I always prefer the Lou to the Chicago (so much more flavor!) The drinks were great too

    Great food and service. We were invaded by a whole bunch of small children that they didn't have any room to accommodate, so that was an adventure! Best pizza in Chicago!
