“ Oh my goodness! SO good! I'm from Rockford IL and was missing pizza from "home" so much. The thin crust pizza from here is AMAZING and gives me my hometown "pizza fix". I've ordered from here 3 times now and the pizza is always consistently good. This is nothing like the pseudo pizza pandered by chain pizza joints. This is the real deal with ingredients sourced from WI. Owners/staff are very friendly too. Try it! You won't be disappointed! ”
“ I stopped by Chicago’s Original and was absolutely blown away! The Italian beef sandwich with mozzarella was next-level—juicy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor in every bite. The garlic cheese bread was the perfect side—crispy edges, melty cheese, and that rich garlic punch. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. You can tell they take pride in their food. This place is a true gem—I’ll definitely be coming back! ”
“ First time trying and Chicago’s Original hit it out of the park! Being a Chicago native we know good Chicago style pizza and this is it! Thin crust, toppings and melted cheese on top just the way we like it. The flavor and fresh ingredients gave us a taste of home which is hard to find. I would give 10 stars if I could. The pizza here is amazing! ”
“ We were in the area on a business trip from Galveston & found this place on Maps, 5 miles from our hotel. We are originally FROM Chicago - so we had HOPES it would be close to what we grew up on. We ordered pizza and two Italian Beef. Had a little of both due to time and placed rest in cooler. This was the CLOSEST to bona-fide Chicago Pizza we've had.and they even cut it in squares. 9/10. The Italian Beef - 10/10! Only drawbacks are they opened 20 minutes late - and nowhere to dine-in.. WILL be back when we're in area again. ”
“ Hands down, the best chicago style food around. Deep dish pizza is amazing. The sauce is perfectly balanced between spicy and sweet. The crust is perfect and is so good, it can be eaten by itself! The pizza puffs are by far the best my wife (who is from chicago) and I have had, as are the italian beefs. Highly recommend if you want authentic chicago food! ”
“ Surprisingly, really good authentic Chicago deep dish pizza! This restaurant does not have indoor seating. They have 1 patio table out front. Good for pick-up order/take out. I would recommend ordering ahead because the pizza will take about 20 minutes to bake! They make it fresh to order. ”
“ Great customer service all around. The pizza is the closest to Chicago style in the North Dallas suburbs. One slice will get you stuffed and the taste is phenomenal. I will definitely refer family and friends to share this as a regular dinner option. ”
“ I came to this place because I had seen an advertisement on Tic Toc. I just so happened to be in the area & got a chance to try it. The service was excellent. They were very patient with me & explained the menu & options. Ordered the Lion's Choice & 2 Italian Beef Combo. The sandwiches are full of meat & are seasoned. But, I'm telling you that you should add the peppers, either sweet or hot. Trust me, it really brings out all the flavors of the sandwich. Just grabbing the pizza box you'll find that the pizza is really heavy & that's because it's full of ingredients. The sauce has a little sweetness to it, but it's not over powering. No matter what you choose you'll find out that you've got more than your money's worth. My family is very happy with our purchase. Don't miss out in this gem. ”
