They don't have a lot of sauce on their pizza and of course Chicago style means that it will be baked. The bread sticks are also on the juicy side. So, you can fill faster. They also have a salad bar and some other options on their menu (strombolis). Overall, I thought the quality and quantity per price was directly at the target.

If you can't get the cheese pizza right, you got issues. As such I ordered the 7 cheese traditional. I went inside to order and dine in. When I got inside there wasn't much of a line (you order at the counter). The salad bar and pizza buffet was open. Again I opted for my fresh cheese pizza. The young man that took my order was neither friendly nor rude. Just doing his job. All the workers were wearing masks. I have to say, I have eaten at the French Lick Chicago's Pizza, and done a review for that one. These two are in fact different. Maybe the same ingredients, maybe the same owners, but there is a difference. Inside there is plenty of indoor dining space, a salad bar, and the buffet was open. However it was pretty busy, and the few tables that were open still had food scraps and dirty plates on them. I found one on corner table that was open and clean. The pizza dough has a very mild flavor,  but it does have a slight bread flavor, nothing intriguing. The dough was nothing but chewy. No snap anywhere, not even the crust. The red sauce was also pretty skimpy and seemed bland. Cheese wasn't very oily, but was a bit salty. The flavor definitely came from the cheese. I also had an order of breadsticks, they were also just chewy, no crunch or snap. Very mild flavor. Pros: None Cons: Not super clean if busy, pizza was bland, breadsticks are bland. I would recommend the French Lick Chicago's Pizza if given the choice. Not a horrible experience, but nothing at all stood out.

The food was good, but they were out of almost all the pizzas when we were there. read more The food was good, but they were out of almost all the pizzas when we were there.

Their pizza has less sauce, and being a Chicago-style pizzeria, it’s definitely on the bready side. The breadsticks are a bit doughy as well, which means you might get full faster. They also have a salad bar and a few other options on their menu, including Strombolis. Overall, I believe the quality and portion size for the price are spot on.
