Martin SlusarzNovember 29, 2014Loved the unique choices offered. Had the Solo Mio. MMM! Nice crust as well. Online ordering made the experience even better. My pick up ready as promised. Will eat more pizzas from here.UpvoteDownvote
Kingsley YoungerSeptember 10, 2014They have the hottest pizza in Chicago. Their pizza is loaded, and I mean loaded, with scotch bonnet peppers. Also contains the Endorphin Rush hot sauce. Even the Heat Seeker guys can't take it.UpvoteDownvote
Jessica ThomasOctober 23, 2013The place is dark abut the environment is exclusive despite it's small size. If you are a heat seeker this is the pizza place to venture. Try their 2nd hottest pizza, the painless!UpvoteDownvote
LMarieAAugust 24, 2013💓 Slutty Ravioli - Delicious. perfect blend. I recommend ordering a side of garlic bread to soak up the rest of this dish that earns the name.Upvote1Downvote- John JonesApril 23, 2014The pesto shrimp pizza is to die for! The dates appetizer is delicious too.Upvote1Downvote
Eddy GonzalezApril 26, 2016The pizza itself is pretty good for thin crust though it's not as crunchy as I'd like. The cheesy garlic bread is really disappointing however, since it's a hot dog bun with a slice of cheese.UpvoteDownvote
Nathalie BernalAugust 4, 2013Best meal I had so far in Chicago! Not the greatest, but it'll do! Oh I did love the slutty ravioli! HmmUpvoteDownvote
One word...Painful. Great place if you aren't a fan of Chicago style. This is the best thin crust in the city.Upvote2Downvote
Joseph B.August 26, 2014Great pizza, but the staff blatantly told us they wanted to close early and we had to hustle out.UpvoteDownvote
Connie WaldenJanuary 2, 2014Amazing- try the baked goat cheese. Brick house pizza was divine!!!UpvoteDownvote
Get the slutty ravioli, Ditka + goat cheese, & a bar-b-que chicken pizza. It will be the best decision of your life.Upvote3Downvote
Elissa CartierMay 5, 2013The Popeye pizza with Anchor Steam beer will make your favorite sailor-man happy.UpvoteDownvote
AdamNovember 10, 2012Slutty Ravioli is amazing! Pizza is good, not the best, bacon tasted a little "off" on the Ditka :(UpvoteDownvote
Alicia DunlopOctober 12, 2011Amazing pizza, great service! Can be a tad noisy though. I recommend the Sole Mio!UpvoteDownvote
Jenn KDecember 5, 2012They ask if you want ranch on the side of their pizza, I respect and admire that!Upvote1Downvote- Jenn KDecember 5, 2012Order the slutty ravioli, it doesn't disappoint and yes that's a real thingUpvoteDownvote
Amy KauliusApril 29, 2012Gotta get the Painful pizza! It's not that spicy but is full of flavor.UpvoteDownvote
heather ausmusAugust 7, 2011The Painful in really not that "painful". If you like spicy food, it's not going to be spicy enough for you. Ask for extra jalapeño.UpvoteDownvote
_November 1, 2015Didn't expect much from this place, but the pizza was actually pretty good. Restaurant is very dark and dim inside.UpvoteDownvote
Matthew O'BrienDecember 14, 2010Get Thanks dates appetizer and wash it down with a strong "tasty beer".UpvoteDownvote
if you're unsure about ordering the "painful" ask the waitress how hot it is. heat varies week to week. i learned the hard way - jalapeno oil is not a joke!UpvoteDownvote- Barry SmythApril 25, 2010The slutty ravioli is amazing. The ditka - even better. Don't go if on a diet.UpvoteDownvote
KfunkyOctober 21, 2009Really good pizza and cute location. Get the painful pizza if you like it hot. . .UpvoteDownvote
If you like it really HOT try the Super Painful.UpvoteDownvote
The Painful lives up to its name but it sure is worth it!Upvote1Downvote
