Setting: Your average Italian-centric pizza parlor—nothing to write home about, but you come here for the food, not the atmosphere.
Food: When you sit down, the wait staff warns you that if you want the Chicago-style stuffed pizza that it's going to be a 45-minute wait. You're hungry, you're sad, you order a salad to hold you over. It's your everyday garden salad with iceburg lettuce and fresh veggies. BUT THEN, the guest of honor arrives at the party (and right on
time—the 45 minutes pass by surprisingly fast), and you suddenly hear the angels sing. The pizza the size of a sports car's tire, and as thick as one too, arrives in the arms of a server who surely works out just to be able to lift the pies here. The buttery, crunchy crust! The nuanced sauce filled with herbs! The melted cheese! The flavor-filled pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms and green peppers! This is a pizza you have to experience once in your life! I have to say as a New Yorker of nearly 15 years, and a lover of pizza, this isn't the type of thing I could eat every day (as opposed to some of New York's lighter versions), because it's just so heavy. But it's well-worth the calories as a special treat.
