Intoxicating PIzza!

This is a great place!!!! They have amazing specials for everyday. My favorite special they had was for Cub Away games. All you can eat pizza with the purchase of a pitcher of beer! The pizza is unlike anything I have had. I usally don't like thin crust but this place knows what they are doing, the pizza is intoxicating. The staff is incredibly nice and welcoming! They cater to our every need and then some. Plus with the garage door open in the front... you can't find a more relaxing place to enjoy the wonderful weather. I don't know what these other guys were talking about...but hands down this place will always be on my list of great pizzerias!!!

Standard Bar Pizza

The pizza would be all right if it were simply one out of a longer list of entrees, such as a bar would offer, but considering this is a pizza place, the pizza is garbage. Sure they offer a lot of toppings, but that is where the generosity ends. They only offer this week cracker-thin crust. If you're a pizza place you should offer a wider variety of pizza styles. On top of that, the sauce was lacking, and it might as well have been water b/c it had no flavor.

The worst idea I had today was going to purgatory pizza. I ordered a sandwich to go, with no other customers in the place, and it honestly took a half an hour. Even better was the fact that they kept apologizing and saying that they the reason it was taking so long was because it was an oven-baked sandwich, but when I got it it was cold. The sandwich was terrible, even after I put it in a real oven at home. You guys should really just give up, especially the staff that I dealt with.

Beyond Disappointing

I was so excited to hear about the new pizza place opening up just steps from my door. Now I am more excited to never go back.

The pizza is terrible and pricey. And the service is even worse. We were one of two parties in the restaurant on a sleepy Saturday afternoon. It took about 25 minutes to get our pitcher of beer and they didn't even bring us enough pint glasses. When the waitress came back 20 minutes later with the glass, she apologized for the delay and informed us she had to go find a glass and wash it. By my calculations (and I'm no math wizard) that would mean the entire restaurant owned approximately 8 pint glasses! We got our wings and cheesy bread about 45 minutes after ordering and our thin sausage pizza came about 70 minutes after we arrived. And here I thought deep dish pizza only too that long!

Bottom line: you're already on Clark St - you're better off going to any of the other dozens of restaurants available to you.

Best Pizza in Wrigleyville

What an outstanding spot! The food is really unbelievable for just a pizza spot. They offer full service dining and full bar too. My girl had a Pizza and I had the Gluttony sandwich. It's a meatball sub but it is good! We loved the pizza, diffrent but ... wow. We are new thin crust fans. Easy five stars.

Came in on a Monday night, the championship game was on. They turned off the TV right by our table when the game went into overtime! Never mentioned anything about turning off the TV. RUDE! The service was great before we paid. If I knew we were going to be treated differently after we paid, I would have left a different tip. For a new place they dont know how to keep their customers coming back for more. The food was good! I suggest take out....Dont go there if you plan on watching a sporting event on TV. There are better places around the area
