This is the best pizza I have ever had. It is worth every cent and calorie spent eating it. I have been eating their pizza for 11 years, so delish. Yes it takes a while to get your order, but when you bite into your first slice, you will understand that it is totally worth the wait. One bite and... More

The best deep dish pizza period. The serve up old school pizza not the ready in five minute no flavor you get from the fast food pizza places. Expect your pizza to take 45 minutes. Order a beer and have some relaxed conversation with your company.

On Monroe street near Greek Town Casino. Across from Pegasus. You must get the Pizza of course! I had never had the Chicago style. It is awesome. The dough is like pizza & pie crust. So filling. You will be lucky to eat 2 pieces. I have been there twice and thought both times that I could eat 2 and... More

Read some great reviews for this place and had a craving for pizza. Beer is cheap, pizza excellent (best - small deep dish could feed two people), wings so/so, and salad is poor. The place was packed, and the service was attentive and friendly. I would travel across Detroit on a bike to eat here again. Great experience.

Despite the good reviews the pizza wasn't good. I had a deep dish spinach pizza and it wasn't worth the calories, but I ate half of it because I was starving. The service was bad. After waiting 10 minutes for someone to come to the table I eventually went to the back of the bar where 7 of them were... More

Deep dish was amazing! Came in at around 4:20 on Friday afternoon so the restaurant was pretty quiet/empty - we had a show to get to so wanted to eat early, and the timing was perfect. Ordered chicken fingers for an appetizer and a large deep dish, which came out in about 35 minutes. Our server was a sweetheart. We'll... More

If you like seafood, you must try their seafood pizza. I've had it in both the thin crust and the deep dish and both provide a different experience. If you are not big on cheese, be aware of the deep dishes.
