i've had better pizza and service.. the building itself and the history is really awesome, however the service and food was poor. cornmeal pizza crust with prego sauce. we sat at least 5 min before anyone acknowledged that we were waiting for the waiter. all of the employees were standing around chatting with each other at the bar area or screaming and laughing in the kitchen. there wasn't a whole lot of people in their for lunch (which says something), but that doesn't mean that they should be standing around and ignoring customers that are in the restaurant. my boyfriend and i ordered a cesar salad that was drenched in dressing to the point that when you picked the lettuce up it was dripping. very gross. the pizza took forever! we ordered a small pizza to split. thesaucetasted like prego. not homemadesauceby any means. the crust was like cornmeal. so dry that when you cut into it, it crumbled like a burnt biscuit. the waiter was nice and friendly once he finally got to us, however when he wasn't with us continued to chat loudly with his 'buddy' at the bar top right next to us. overall, based on the food and service we will not be returning back to this place for pizza. i have had better pizza in chicago. for deep dish, i highly recommend d'agostino's pizza at 1351 w addison st. fantastic deep dish!! a real, authentic chicago pizza place. not a chain like pizzeria uno and due. very disappointing.
