Great architecture/design. If you're new to it, this will be your favorite place. If you knew the original incarnation, you'll weep.

Brennan StehlingAugust 3, 2013Expect it to be busy. Show up early to get your name in the waiting list and then go have a drink at Henry's or Cafe Hollander while you wait. Enjoy!Upvote4Downvote
Morgan RusnakAugust 12, 2014Hawaiian pizza is delightful with a perfect cracker crust. Service is just okay- I'd keep this as a lunch spot.Upvote1Downvote- mark cobbMarch 18, 2015Artichoke pizza well worth the visit, best ever had. The Carbonara pasta was a disappointment. It was cold,greasy and meat was fatty. Over all was a great experience and would recommend it for anyone.UpvoteDownvote
TJ KAugust 29, 2014Arguably the best thin crust pizza in the city. Try the Pizza Man Ale brewed by Lakefront!UpvoteDownvote
Carnivoro pizza. Pepperoni, sausage and ham. Small, $22.

Baber MalikJuly 18, 2016The pizza is just ok. I had a small half white pizza and half artichoke a la mode. I liked the Artichoke, but not enough. Also, at the end I was left with a bill over $20 for a small mediocre pizza.UpvoteDownvote

David BinderSeptember 7, 2013I don't know where to start. Amazing all around. The artichoke pizza is ridiculous.Upvote3Downvote- Scott ConnellSeptember 4, 2014Awesome place but put the sliced tomatoes back on the cheesy garlic bread.UpvoteDownvote
Jonathan ZuckerbrodOctober 25, 2015Underrated dish: chicken Marsala. Savory, salty, heavy in the best way.UpvoteDownvote
Marissa StensonSeptember 22, 2013The artichoke pizza is Sooooo good!! You have to get it with garlic!Upvote1Downvote
Epicurean DiningAugust 5, 2013No take out orders or to go orders for about another month. Even if you sit at the bar and order a pizza to take home.UpvoteDownvote
Mellissa RibaresJune 5, 2014Don't wear expensive heels on the patio - huge space between planks caught my $150 heels and totally ripped one up :-(

Nicole PerraultOctober 18, 2013I know they're busy, but service was awful. Two people at our table had no food until everyone else was done eating and they added an 18% gratuity even after they messed up. Not worth the hype at all.UpvoteDownvote
Matt ShredoNovember 24, 2013Overrated, ridiculous wait times, expensive. Toppers has more interesting pizzas, and even with delivery you'd probably be done eating before you got a table at this place.UpvoteDownvote1
