Moved to Chicago 6 months ago from NY and have been searching for a decent slice. Saw the Instagram and heard the hype so my wife and I made the 30 min drive to this place and ordered a pie. Even with the parm, oregano and pepper flakes this pizza was unbelievably bland. Sauce and cheese both have no flavor, and the pizza was cold even though we waited for a fresh pie. Was extremely doughy despite the photos I saw of thin, crispy looking slices. I know it’s Chicago and therefore I can’t expect a real NY slice, but I was really underwhelmed by this pizza. Sbarros makes a better pie.

Definitely WAY above average for NY style in Chicago. Still, not worth the cost. Way overpriced

Got a cheese slice, burrata slice (right), and smokin’ goose slice (left). Rating the burrata slice as it was the best. Good crust. Creamy burrata cheese. Sauce was decent. Overall solid slice

Now, I asked for extra crispy and they gave it to me like that, so I can’t really complain, but the slice was a bit too crispy. Aside from the crispness, it didn’t taste the freshest. The pepperonis were the crowing jewel, however. You might love this pizza if you’re a big fan of Dave Portney, enjoy the rain, and are excited to see Chicago downtown. It’s a 6.7 for me.

The cheese to grease ratio on this bad boy is optimal. Undercarriage could’ve used more leoparding, but it still had a really nice crisp ones. The real MVP of this pie is the Ezzo pepperoni. Great cuppage, good thickness, excellent bite. Topped it all off with some excellent beignets

Amazing New York-style slice. Perfectly proportioned cheese and sauce. Zero flop. Great undercarriage. Quality fresh toppings. This is the GOAT of Chicago.

This is some great pizza! New York style in Chicago which is incredibly hard to find. Sauce has incredible flavor with a tangy after taste that is quite addicting. Cheese hardens a little, but sticks to the slice which makes this an enjoyable pizza to eat one handed for any occasion. Little to no oil, and a crunchy undercarriage throughout, with a airy crust that is a compliments the slice. Anytime, anywhere, incredibly good pizza. I would make this drive if I was on the hunt for some seriously solid pizza.

A really good pizza. Unreal crunch and crisp. Great crust. My type of pizza. It just could’ve been in 9s with a little bit more flavor. Happy I made the trip to try it.
