In Short – Located on the corner end of a strip mall, this restaurant features a upscale interior, with linen tablecloths and quiet ambience. The extensive menu offers pizza, pasta, chicken, seafood and chops. Thin-crust pizza is the specialty, with spinach and mushroom topping the list of signature pies. The "Chicago-style" version has a puffy crust, while the pan pizza is the more traditional deep dish found around the city. –

Skip the pizza for the Chicken

by nathanstull_citysearch at Citysearch

I didn't care for the blandness of the pizza. But, the country broiled chicken is very good. They deliver and it's a good take-out. Garlic bread is on the greasy side.
