Can't beat this deal Chicago slice and an RC! When I say Chicago slice I'm not talking about no fugazi lou malantais or Giordano I'm talking thin crust crunchy goodness. A real bar pie thay El presidente David Portnoy from barstool needs to try. "One bite everyone knows the rules". That's a bold statement but I'm confident because I have eaten alot of pizza in my lifetime and can say with confidence this is the best it gets in the Montclair or Elmwood park neighborhoods. I will try the beef and other menu items and update my review. Also shout out to the kitchen team very friendly and customer service oriented. Great for catering events large ot small or just a Friday night deal for the family.

This place is a little unassuming and extremely outdated. But don't let that stop you from having the pizza! It was the best pizza I have ever had. I don't like to eat pizza really. We are from Toronto and someone recommended this place. You won't regret it. Our kids made us come again the next night! Must try in Chicago!

Haven’t been here in years but heard new owners took over, so I gave it another try. Glad I did pizza and wings were great, and the owners are nice.
