Pizz'a Chicago

A wonderful pizzeria in Palo Alto, right off El Camino. It’s themed around all things Chicago and is known for its deep dish pizzas. They have a number of options for vegetarians and you can customize your pizza to be half and half. A 10 inch pizza can feed one very hungry person. Portions are generous and service is quick. Really liked the ‘sears tower’ pizza which is their signature veggie pizza. It contains a nice blend of vegetables like zucchini, olives, capsicums etc and has a crunchy cheesy crust. We also got the white Sox pizza which is a Delicious combination of white sauce, cheese and sun dried tomatoes. I didn’t ask if it’s halal but will definitely return for vegetarian pizzas.

Pizza was good, but too pricey for what you get. My partner and I were expecting classic Chicago-style deep dish pizza, and instead received what was basically a domino’s pan pizza. Very much not the same thing. Like I said, it was tasty and I’m sure the ingredients are higher quality than domino’s, but it was definitely disappointing for two people who grew up in Chicago. Don’t call it Chicago deep dish if that’s not what you’re going to serve.

Calling ahead of time helps when dining in, unless you don’t mind waiting 40 mins for your order. The ambience and atmosphere is comfortable that you wouldn’t know how long you’ve actually been there. Eat 2-2.5 slices of pizza, to leave room for their desserts because they are delicious!! Everyone is very attentive and friendly… it feels like home, coming from a Chicago native.
