Combo CrazeThe inventive folks at Pizz'a Chicago have done a great job naming their pizzas. Try the Great Chicago Fire, a hot mix of Italian sausage, "sport peppers," fresh garlic and sun-dried tomatoes; or the Rush Street, a meat lover's delight with pepperoni, Canadian bacon, sausage, linguica and meatballs. Hockey lovers should try the Blackhawk, named after the NHL's greatest team, which offers sausage, ricotta cheese, sweet red pepper, lemon zest, fresh oregano and cracked pepper. It's as sensational as Bobby Hull.
Other Items
Don't hesitate to look beyond the pizzas here. The Ditka is a great calzone with provolone, spinach, black olives, fresh garlic, basil and pepperoncini. The Papa Bear is a hot Italian beef sandwich served with gravy for dipping. They also serve Chicago Vienna beef hot dogs--the world's best dogs.

Insider Pages Reviews for Pizz'a Chicago
I didn't eat at Pizz'a Chicago, but I had their pizza delivery and I thoroughly enjoyed it! My favorite pizza had fresh sliced tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and fresh basil and if I ate that first, I wouldn't have tried anything else...it was THAT good!

Pizz'A Chicago is my favorite pizza, hands down. I love the lunch specials, it include a two topping pan size pizza, the freshest salad ever and a large soda, last I recall it was $5.99. The pizza is made of fresh ingredients on a thick chicago crust. I usually order a pizza with roasted whole cloves of garlic and sun dried tomatos.

The whole restaurant has a chicago theme, the decor, the pizza names, it's like stepping into a movie. The pizza is excellent thick crust, 2 pieces off a medium pizza and anybody is full! It is a little pricey, but is delicious enough to get Palo Alto natives and visitors coming back time and time again!

Pizza Chicago has Chicago street signs, Chicago sports teams memorabilia, and hangings from an exhibit at the Field Museum. What is doesn't have is real Chicago pizza. It doesn't have the right crust, sauce or amounts of toppings. The pizza is good, it's just not Chicago pizza.

Pizz'a Chicago has a large variety of pizzas that are very fine tasting. Selections such as the " Great Chicago Fire" are piquant; "The John Dillinger" is an interesting and tasty pizza. Overall, I am very exceptionally impressed by the quality of the food.

Not Chicago Style? Who cares!
by disneylandishome
Though Chicago style pizza is great, this pizza is better. Is it Chicago style? Who cares! It is the best tasting pizza in the area.
Pros: Great pizza hands down
Cons: Ambience is lacking but the pizza makes up for it

ABSOLUTELY NOT CHICAGO STYLE DEEP DISH PIZZA
by mpmcgoo
Pizz'a Chicago ought to be sued for calling what they serve "chicago style deep dish pizza"! It is nothing of the sort! What these guys serve is a bunch of fluffy dough with no sauce and too little cheese and totally inferior toppings.
Authentic Chicago style deep dish pizza is truly a pie with a deep shell of butter crust, filled with fresh, chunky tomatoe sauce, the absolute best mozzarella cheese and lots of it, and the best quality sausage and pepperoni available.
I lived in Chicago most of my life and moved to San Jose 2 years ago and was very excited to try Pizz'a Chicago...only to be very disapointed and offended by their claims. And I have tried it 4 times now, hoping I just got a bad pie, but I have been totally let down every time...and I will never try it again.
If you really want to know what a quality Chicago style deep dish pizza looks like, google Lou Malnati's and just look at what you are missing! Lou Malnati's is my personal favorite, but their are several other pizza places in Chicago that are just as good...but NONE of them even slightly resemble what Pizz'a Chicago serves out here in California. And oh by the way, you can have one of these delicious pizza pies shipped to you from Lou Malnati's...go ahead and experience heaven in a box!
Pizz'a Chicago really does a disservice to authentic Chicago style deep dish pizza...don't believe their claims! I'm not saying their pizza is terrible, rather I'm emphatically stating that IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT CHICAGO STYLE DEEP DISH PIZZA!

NOT Chicago Style deep dish pizza.
by solmate37
If you are looking for Authentic "Chicago Style" pizza, you can look elsewhere.
We decide to order from here because of the Citysearch rating. We were disappointed to say the least.
Expecting a luscious layered deep dish, I picked up an over-priced ($25.00) two topping thick crust pie.
Now I know pizza, (both New York and Chicago style) and how this was rated #1 in the Valley is a complete mystery. Nothing memorable about the crust, sauce or toppings.
In my humble opinion, you can get a better pie at a better price from your neighborhood strip mall joint.
Would not recommend nor will I come back.
Pros: It's right on El Camino

Best Pizza in the Bay Area!
by digitalmaven
After moving to the Bay Area to Chicago, and trying out some of the pizza places in the area, I was greatly disappointed. That is until I found Pizz'a Chicago! There's no doubt that they serve the best pizza around these parts, as well as a variety of other dishes, including calzones, meatball sandwiches, and more. Expect to eat a lot of great food here!

Not Chicago
by roy_mercer
This place is overrated, obviously by people who have never been to Chicago. The pizza was ok, but by no means authentic Chicago style. Overall, pretty tasteless.
