Best pizza in Chicago!

Brought a pizza back to SoCal for the wife. The best pizza I've ever tasted.

My biggest complaint is they don't do mail order. Their thin and crispy is so good all my friends want to eat

a pizza that cannot be found around here!

Be Careful!!!

Food wasn't bad, pizza has been good in the past. However, I will never again eat here! Bottom line, watch your credit card statements here as I suspect shady business is going on.

Last Saturday went with a group, all paid with cash except me (I bought the wine). I asked them to put $50 on my card, which they did and I signed for. Later in the week I checked my credit card transactions and they had charged the ENTIRE bill to my card! I wasn't initially upset, I just called and left a message with a dining room staff person to have a manager call me back. The manager never called me. Finally, over 24 hours later a "Tony" calls me, purportedly one of the OWNERs, and is indignant from the start. He tells me his accountant would look into it early the NEXT WEEK and get back to me IF they would refund me. I still have not raised my voice once (get more bees with honey you know) and I replied this was not an acceptable solution. He started YELLING at me! "Don't tell me how to do my f**king job" and such and so forth. I was shocked, I have NEVER been treated as such by a business owner. I replied "Tony, do not take such a tone with me. I am not accusing you of anything and simply suggesting you have somebody on your staff who is stealing from YOU. I could have just as easily called my credit card company and disputed the whole charge." And then, I am not exaggerating one bit, he shouted "F**K You" so many times I couldn't count and hung up the phone on me.

I called my credit card company and reported them for fraud.

Their pizza is good, I admit. I used to have it all the time when I lived around there. But WATCH YOUR CARD STATEMENTS if you charge something there and keep your receipts until you verify them! I encourage anyone with a similar experience to report them as well.
