Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

They need a new chef. I found multiple onion skins in my pizza, like huge obvious ones. Also, I felt like I was just eating cheese on top of dough, it wasn't consistent... On the plus side, the inside of Chicago Stuffed Pizza is very nice and has a cool atmosphere. If only they had better food....

Why can't I give this place "no stars"? This was the WORST place that I have been to in a long, long time! So I love pizza and we wanted to try this pizza place- we have seen it for a few weeks and the "sign" outside was appealing. So we made plans a week in advance- lets' go to this place! So on a Saturday night at 7pm on Church Street- the first thing, we can't find it. It's tucked away behind other great restaurants. Once we found it we had to hail down staff to get a table for our six guests. But the other thing is- on Church Street, Saturday Night, Prime Time- and we were one of two tables eating- THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SIGN!!! It started going better, so we thought. Service was spotty. Drinks weren't getting refilled and we weren't being checked on Appetizers were ok (and I am giving them credit). We got the $11 sampler platter- everything tasted the same. So about 45 minutes, our pizza arrived. We ordered three different pizzas for the different tastes among our group. When the server brought them out- he didn't know which was which and you couldn't tell- because they are stuffed. And the pizzas weren't hot- usually the cheese will stream and burn your chin (which this isn't a bad thing, just to let you know that the pizzas weren't all the way yet). So about 5 minutes of swapping pizzas around, we finally began eating. Once I took my first bite- I noticed that the dough was raw on the top of the pizza. Yes sir- RAW DOUGH! We had a Chicago Pizza Expert in our party- who makes them every day, so we knew this isn't how they were supposed to be. I went to ask for a manager. She came over and tried to tell us that it was the cheese- No, ma'am- We showed her the cheese, and the crust was not cooked at all. Needless to say, I asked for a refund. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE, HORRIBLE FOOD and HORRIBLE SERVICE. But, we should have known! We had to pay $52 for appetizers and drinks though- they didn't comp that. They had to comp the meal- we didn't eat it and it wasn't cooked! We will NEVER return to this sorry excuse for a pizza joint and sorry management!

Closed unexpectedly and with no explanation -- came for lunch and had to change plans. The security guard outside said they have been closed for a couple of days.

I am so hoping that Chicago's Stuffed Pizza makes it. As expat Chicagoans, we are huge fans of the Chicago Pizza, and as far as that's concerned, CSP is pretty darn close to the real thing. Especially when you are roughly 1200 miles away from the Windy City. Certainly we enjoy all things Chicago and have seen many places come and go in Florida. At this point in time, the only thing that can save Chicago's Stuffed Pizza is its management. So from a very biased customer, who wants to see you succeed, here's some very simple yet effective changes that can help you get things moving. It is quite obvious that the entrepreneurs have made a sizable investment by opening this place in its current location, and I'm sure at some point in time, sooner than later, a return on investment will be expected. Let's start with the easier things, and the most obvious: Attention to detail, usually the biggest challenges these places face is that the wait and kitchen staff know nothing about Chicago, they have no idea what we are expecting in terms of food and service and this is a huge disconnect, because more often than none, we come expecting some kind of replica of what we have experienced in the Windy City. Beyond a few posters on the wall and the menu, the experience falls flat. First off, the staff apparently doesn't listen to the customers, I keep reading reviews and comments of incorrect orders and other communication issues. Also, most of us know that a deep dish or stuffed pizza takes a reasonable amount of time to prepare, don't shy away from this, tackle it head on and let the customers know that it will take time to prepare,- Menu up selling opportunity here- offer appetizers, take the drink order, be nice and attentive. Clients will definitely appreciate it and will be more inclined to wait for the pizza if they are told ahead of time. Back to attention to detail, listen to the orders, get it right from the start, come back often to make sure all is well. One last thing, typically, mediocre businesses don't make it past the first few months- embrace excellence. Worst case scenario... you'll build yourself a spotless reputation and that is priceless. Although our experience was not quite as good as we expected, like I mentioned before, the pie comes close to the real thing, and the place definitely has potential. On behalf of your fans...please don't fail us.

No! I will not go back. I gave it two try's and both of those times I was disappointed. The decor, service, and food quality are all severely lacking attention. The pizza tasted like something you'd buy in the frozen section at the grocery store. Who ever does inventory clearly doesn't care because they didn't have bottle water, certain beers & spirits, and some food items. Either they are on the way out the door or just don't care.

Forever searching for good Chicago Style pizza, we came with very high hopes that we would find it here, and as for the pizza itself I will add my thoughts on that at the end of the review. It is a new establishment and with this comes challenges that need to be worked on and ironed out. We happened to wander in through the back the entrance where the Dessert Lady used to be and now is a bar. The main entrance is off the side and hard to find, however, no problem - I found it (the back, entrance I mean). The thing is that I didn't know that this was the rear entrance and found the greeting a bit...well, surprised? Later we realized this happens often as a couple of other groups did the same thing. Note; put a stand up there since it is wide open in the building itself, and would help if we felt more welcome and less like we are surprising the staff. Again, we understand the kinks that need to be worked out, but the staff seem overwhelmed, yet the establishment wasn't packed. I had a couple of questions about the vegetable pizzas, but was very specific about ordering the simple vegetable over the other more extensive vegetable option because "I really don't like broccoli on pizza" and ordered the regular. Sitting where we were, we felt a tad forgotten... now being familiar with our beloved city's pizza (yup Chicago girl here), i knew it was going to take a very long time, so I sat back and waited for the Greek salad we ordered to share. Honestly it was a very sad Greek Style salad, and the dressing was a balsamic vinaigrette. That is most definitely not the kind of dressing you put on a Greek Salad and I really don't like balsamic either, but there was no server to be seen to ask if we could get the correct dressing. I was hungry so I ate the salad plain, without the dressing which made it basically lettuce, some tomatoes, onions (which were WAY too strong, the wrong type to throw on any salad) and a few olives and a wee bit of Feta thrown in. When our pizza came, we happily dug in as we were most definitely starving (50 minutes after we ordered). As we were eating our vegetable pizza, we were finishing the first piece when I finally asked my hubby if the only thing in it were mushrooms. He confirmed this so we finally got our server and asked her if this was the correct pizza. It wasn't. She confirmed that they had realized that it was the wrong one after they took our pizza to the people who ordered the mushroom one. Why weren't we notified when they realized this? Were they hoping we wouldn't notice? They gave us the pizza we HAD ordered to go since we were tired and by then not hungry anymore. The next day we realized that our order was wrong anyhow - it had broccoli. NOW FOR THE PLUS SIDE: The pizza was fantastic. For a good stuffed pizza this is the place to go (I took out the broccoli in mine)- next time I will be VERY specific about what I do want on my pizza. The server seemed new, and although these issues arose you could tell she genuinely was trying. Will we be back? We sure will, and truly hope that I can update this to a perfect experience.

First time in based on Yelper recommendations. Not much of a crowd, but so far so good. Caesar salad and meat lovers stuffed pizza. Eyeing the cannoli for dessert. It was okay. Nothing spectacular. I think UNO is better.

In a nutshell - Good pizza with a side of dysfunctional. Walking in, there was no one to greet us. After about five minutes, one of the waiters realized us standing there and asked if we had been helped. He then sat us himself, but forgot to tell the waitress in the section we were there. Once she finally showed up, our waitress wasn't too bad. But she was running around like a mad woman as her tables seemed to be all over the place. Then came in another waitress that had enough that night. She began swearing and talking about some table outside, telling another waiter how they were pissed as they hadn't been checked on in awhile. Pizza finally came and was delicious. In the mayhem of it all, I refilled our tables drinks. Usually, I wouldn't do this, but no one was around and yolo. So good pizza, but you may want to get it to-go.

The starting point is that we are a family from Chicago and love stuffed pizza. This restaurant is not easy to find. They needed much bigger signs to direct folks. We had a terrific server. The cheesy garlic bread was the best in Orlando. The stuffed pizza was pretty good. A little heavy on the oregano. The cheese blend was spot on. In my opinion is better than Giordano's. The facility location is going to be a challenge for this business to succeed. We will be back.

After reading a bunch of the reviews, we figured we would try it before a Solar Bears game. Many of the negative reviews spoke to slow service. We didn't find this at all. Then again, being good Chicago people, we called in our deep dish order ahead of time since it takes 45min-1hr to cook. First, it's right at Church Street Station, behind Hamburger Mary's. We arrived via Lymmo, then walked through the Sun Rail station to get there. We were promptly seated and let our server know a pie was ordered ahead of time. She quickly got our drinks and an appetizer order. Shortly after, the food arrived, and in perfect time. We had cheese sticks and a cheese bread for the table. The cheese sticks were run of the mill frozen food. The cheese bread seemed a focaccia bread. It was average. The pizza we had was classic Chicago, sausage and mushroom. The crust was flaky, almost crispy. The cheese was properly done as was the sauce. It wasn't too acidic or tasting of sugar or tomato paste. The slices were somewhat big, larger than we are used to in Chicago. We paid the bill, and asked if they could hold our leftovers until after the game. They were happy to oblige and we got it after the game, all ready to go. How we arrived at our rating- Compared to Lou Malnati's, Giordano's and Gino's East, not as good. Compared to Giordano's attempt in Orlando, better. We had leftovers the next day, and I had one slice at about 2PM then ate nothing else the rest of the day... huge pizza slices.

This might be the worst restaurant I've gone to twice. I got the 2 groupons and felt obligated to try it a second time and see if anything got better...it didn't. The first time the place was packed, the food took forever and it just wasn't that good. The second time the place was empty (I guess everyone who wanted to try it did and didn't come back) the food took a while and still wasn't very good. Props to our waitress for yelling at Tony the cook who thought it would be cool to bang on the bell they give him for 45 seconds ever 2-3 minutes (I am not kidding about this). That was the highlight of my meal. At the end of the day it's about the food, and there just wasn't anything about this pizza that I really liked...save your time (it's like 45 minutes for a stuffed pizza at least) and just go somewhere else.

Yum! I don't know what traditional Chicago deep dish pizza tastes like, but the pizza here was amazing! My husband and I tried this hidden gem on a date night with a Groupon, and I was NOT disappointed. As a pizza connoisseur, I found that this pizza was delicious, well-made, had fresh ingredients, and a lot of the toppings in the pizza. We also had the cheesy garlic bread that was excellent! My sister-in-law has been begging for me to make a pizza cake, but instead, I will just bring her here for the pizza cake's delicious (and more manageable) offspring. Caveat: The waitress will warn you that the deep dish pizzas take 45 minutes to cook, so order before you go or be prepared to wait. (Would have been helpful information on their website or before they seated us). How can you enjoy deep dish and not have to go through this? Order the individual pie--still big enough for 2+ people, and takes half the time to cook!

Why is this place still open? I'm ready for something good to be in this location.

This was my second attempt for lunch at Chicago's Stuffed. The first time was just after they opened. We placed an order online and waited about an hour before walking over to the restaurant. Upon arrival, we were told they did not receive the online order so we had to wait another hour for the pizza to be made. The pizza was okay and the service was bad, so I very badly wanted my second experience to be much better. I called in an order at 11:40 am for an individual pepperoni pizza and was told it would be about 30 minutes. I start walking to the restaurant at minute 30 and arrived to a somewhat empty restaurant. My order wasn't ready and was told it would be soon. Well, the individual pizza that was supposed to take 30 minutes, took 1 hour. I will say, the pizza I consumed was decent, not the best Chicago style pizza I've ever eaten, but good and somewhat met the need of my craving for Chicago style pie. The service, however, was not so good. There were several customers that walked in and saw a large group of folks waiting for to-go orders and didn't know what to do, so they sat themselves and waited for a server. One lady in particular got up and asked the guy in the kitchen where to order since she had been waiting and nobody acknowledged her. She specifically said she was a first timer to this place. To sum it up, the pizza is decent but the service needs work. Most of the reviews touch on the poor service in a restaurant that is mostly empty, and I agree. I couldn't imagine what the service would be like if they had a full house. I seriously hope this place can improve its service but only time will tell. I don't think I will give this place a third try.
(2)Sarah G.
We went back and called ahead, placing the pizza order so it would be ready when we arrived, rather than waiting for 40 minutes to for it to bake. It worked great & the pizza was tasty.
(3)Steven L.
Horrible kitchen staff and waited over an hour for a salad and a sandwich. Tables around us were being served random food that was ready (not the food they ordered). Wait staff was polite and tried their best to make people happy. However there was total mismanagement in the kitchen
(1)Josh D.
All the food was really good and reasonably priced.....that being said the service is exact opposite. I read all the reviews before we went and went there expecting the poor service and got it but was not bothered because again, I was expecting it. I would still go back for the food and deep dish, just plan on being there for about an hour or so and order some apps because like any traditional deep dish it takes 45 minutes to cook. If the owner or management would step it up on the service this place would be great. Overall I wouldn't not give it a try if your thinking about it.
(3)Kori B.
I feel like I was pranked, you should go get pranked. How on earth can you make such a horrible pizza ? The people who gave it stars must be employees. Worst place ever with much potential. Building and service was awesome. Cook was not a cook. That star is a negative 1
(1)Carla B.
This place is awful from the service to the food. As far as service goes, the staff pretty much keeps to themselves and is not knowledgable about the menu. When expressing myself about being unhappy each order for the table coming out at different times, the waitress got very defensive. I was told the smaller pizza came out first because it needed less time to cook then the bigger pizza. My response, then shouldn't the bigger one have gone in first. I expressed that I came there to eat with my friends. I was disjointed that each of our orders came out at different times. As far as the pizza, well, there was suppose to be three toppings inside. All I could see was cheese cheese and more cheese. We laughed at the quarter tiny mushrooms inside and was disappointed at the few pepperoni's . If you want REAL good Chicago pizza, this is not it. Save your money, misery, and taste buds. They are suppose to be opening in Maitland. Good luck with that! The Winter Park / Maitland crowd will not like this given all the great pizza places in the area that offer the service that Winter Park / Maitland is use to.

I visited Chicago's Stuffed Pizza today with my coworkers for a quick lunch. We all ordered the lunch special, which we were told was going to take about 15-20 minutes to cook. It took us an hour to get our food, and they forgot to make one of my coworker's food entirely. When we did get it, it was just okay. We were late to meetings and had to play catch up for the rest of the day. Beautiful location, but only visit if you have a few hours to kill.
(1)Darah E.
you said you opened at 11 but you were closed!!!!!!!!!! sincerely, sad hungry customer.
(1)John T.
Slow service. Pizza is okay definitely have had better. Wouldn't recommend or go to again.
(1)Beth H.
Rude hostess/waitress who was annoyed I was bothering her. Informed me that an individual pizza will take at least 30 minutes to make....so why are you open for lunch? Who has time on their lunch hour, whether eating in or carrying out, to wait 30 minutes for a small individual pizza? Not me. Also, your signage is horrible or should I say non-existent. It was like a maze trying to find the place with no directional signage pointing you in the right direction after the initial sign at the entrance.
(1)Michael S.
Very nice waitress but the cooks were soooo slow! It took 15 minutes to get drinks and we waited over an hour for our food. The cheese fries were gross. It was a huge bowl of nacho cheese dip from a grocery store with about 12 cold fries. After an hour we started asking where our food was and she went to check on it. She asked a manager to help rush the food but we finally gave up after another 15 minutes. If you walk in and see empty tables there's a reason....
(1)D.L. K.
I know that they are really trying to make it work, but I can find very few positives about my experience at this restaurant. There were actually more visible staff than patrons when we visited, which I thought might be a good sign. The energetic but clearly inexperienced and barely trained servers were like pouring salt on the wound of my sad experience at this place. The table cards advertising Macaroni and Cheese bites should have been a giveaway. This restaurant doesn't know it's vibe. I could go with pizza bar or sports joint except for the annoying elevator music being played. The menu was long enough to have been for a diner. Levels of lighting were varied and the seating appeared to be left over from a prior tenant. The bench at our booth was unattached. When ordering, we were warned that the authentic Chicago-style pizza would take a half an hour, but our server did not offer any comments or suggestions. The multiple servers could not decide if refilling our water meant bringing over a pitcher or a new glass. Neither servers nor the manager offered a useful suggestion, they mostly just interrupt. As for the server, he forgot to bring silverware, did not listen (three times) on the specifics of our order, brought out salads at two different times, and kept calling me "boss." When the long awaited pizza finally arrived, it was just warm and was not worth the wait. Pizza Hut would have been far more satisfying and less expensive. I could sense that they were trying but this place was so full of flaws, I could not ignore. There was nothing to encourage me to return and I expect they will be making way for another restaurant soon.
(2)Brian B.
Hard to rate this eatery. We were seated for at least 30 minutes before anyone waited on us. Once we our order was taken we waited another 20 minutes before we got our drinks. The restaurant was half full at best, and most people had not received their meals. We decided to leave after being there 50 minutes and all we received had been our drinks.
(1)Angelica B.
The pizza was delicious...we were served by one of the managers, really good customer services. He let us know it will take around 40 min to get the pizza, buy it was worth waiting. I will definitely be back.
(5)Rhonda R.
This was our first visit to Chicago's Stuffed Pizza and our last. We ordered one appetizer, one salad and two pizza's. The appetizer and salad came out in a decent time, the pizza's came out close to 45 minutes later for one and a hour for the other. The second one was made incorrectly so it had to be re-made. We had 4 children with us so that is pushing it on time and theirs was the one made incorrect =( to top it off both pizza's were not very good. Disappointed!!
(1)Joshua B.
Atmosphere was bad. It doesn't seem like a restaurant. The service was slow. Our food took an hour to arrive and there was hardly anyone there. The food was decent but not enough to bring me back.
(2)Colt C.
For lunch, I must say I was not impressed. I understand the deep dish takes longer, and perhaps calling ahead would be helpful. We did not do that, so we were relegated to the normal menu. The food was OK, nothing stellar, nothing terrible.
(3)Jonathan P.
The food here is actually pretty good and closest you'll get to deep dish pizza besides Uno's on IDrive. However, each time I've been here their service is absolutely horrible. This most recent time I placed an order online. I came at the expected pick-up time and the order was still sitting on the printer...they had forgotten about it. The hostess started making excuses saying they thought the construction would close the place today and they were understaffed, but I counted at least 4 front end staff members and only two tables. What a shame, this place won't be around for long. RIP
(1)Deborah C.
Just had there stuffed Chicago and there plain thin . There stuffed was ok I rather have the other big players Chicago stuff as it tastes better won't name any names but sure you can fig it out . The price for the stuff was good . The thin cheese was way over priced by a lot if I wasn't feeding some kids I wouldn't of even bought it . They said it was ok and had much better . This place is hard to get to 1 no parking you need to park down the street and pay 2 this place is in side a building that has other things around it and if you look inside it looks like an empty building . So not easy to find at all
(3)Ben F.
The positive: Ambiance is nice, location is good. Server was friendly. The negative: Pizza was some of the worst I've had at a restaurant. Sloppy preparation, bad crust, poor cutting ( lots of tiny weirdly shaped pieces), huge pieces of zuchini were uncooked and really didnt compliment the pizza. Whoever makes the pizza recipes really did a terrible job. Nearly any recipe online will easily make a far better pizza. The wait was long both for the pizza and the check. It took maybe 40 min before we got the pizza and the place was not very busy. Price was high for the pizza (24 for a 14 inch). It was a speciality pricing for a high end pizza but the quality was low end late night drunk food from a microwave so it doesn't justify it. This restaurant needs to do a total 180 or shut down. I can't imagine it will get any kind of loyal following with its current straregy of cheap poor quality food for high prices.
(2)Kristen P.
This place was pretty dead at 8:30 at night. Granted it was a Thursday but still. The staff was just waiting for us to finish so they could leave. I wanted to try the pizza but it takes 45 mins to an hour for the stuffed pizza and 25 mins for the regular pizza. That was a bit longer than our group wanted to wait so we opted to get a bunch of apps. We got the pick 5 (w/ Zucchini, mac & cheese bites, calamari, moss sticks & onion rings), the bruschetta and chicken wings. Apparently the manager was making/assembling everything (why I'm not sure). The zucchini sticks were good but uber hot, the mac & cheese bites were disappointing. I thought the calamari was the best of the five items in that basket - which was apparently supposed to be served on a plate. The chicken wings were mediocre. The bruschetta was a mess. They were drenched in balsamic. The bread was complete soaked from it. While they ultimately tasted fine, that's not really what you're looking for. Our waitress was personable but the restaurant was a bit of a miss for me. They have such a cool place (granted a tough location because it's hidden back behind Hamburger Mary's). It's kind of a shame. I have a feeling this place won't be there long. Can we bring back the whiskey bar in the basement?
(2)Clara S.
Loved this place as Eternal Tap. Sometimes it is all about location, location, location and dining out with the family needs to have some kind of draw. Like trains going by, outdoor seating, free WiFi for the teens and preteens that need to be wired in and the ambiance of a fire warming you up on a chilly afternoon. This place has all that and decent beer and a full liquor bar. We loved the deep dish pizza and the mozzarella sticks so I say go! Service was great ;).
(4)Jay J.
Website and yelp says it open until 9pm. It's 7:45pm right now and they're closed with no warning or explanation. Disappointed and let down for my attempt at a first impression.

Ya'll! I went here with a Chicago native and he approved! And well... of course I approved, it's pizza! Ha, no really tho, it was AMAZING! It was legit deep dish Chicago pizza from the crust to the overwhelming (amazing) cheese, and sauce on top! I am truly 4 star "Yay! I'm a fan." status. They are in that "not so easy to spot" location on church street. The bar with the entrance on the train tracks next to Hamburger Mary's. You can also enter in the front doors right by Church St. Tavern. They have various spots to post up, in the general dining area, at the bar or near the pizza kitchen (where the magic happens) or outside on their porch. Do yourself a favor and check this spot out next time you are lookin' for somewhere to grub downtown. They are brand new so the service is pretty top notch as they are trying to gain some recognition, props for that! They want to be the home to all Chicago team games so if you love you some Bulls, Bears, Cubs, White Sox, or Blackhawks, this spot is for you. Beer, wings, pizza and sports. Make it happen! We went with a small pizza to share between the two of us and it was plenty! Could have easily fed another person. They are so thick! They don't skimp here and I adore that. Please keep in mind they are true Chicago stuffed so if you are in a hurry, go for a personal size as it takes at least 30 min to cook a larger one. WORTH IT! We went for the Special with Sausage, Mushroom, Green Peppers and Onions. Absolutely delicious! They do have thin crust but I couldn't believe anyone would opt for that when you could get STUFFED! We began with a house salad since it would be a while for our pizza and it was good, nothing exceptional but who cares, we were there for pizza! For a salad and small pizza it was under $30 - perfect for 2 for lunch. Guys, it's legit. Give it a shot, i promise you won't regret it. I mean... check out my pics... cheese heaven!

Orlando's newest pie maker, Chicago's Stuffed Pizza is here to further the great pizza pie debate, and serve up some pretty good food too. The name of the restaurant was specifically chosen to represent their mission, which is to bring that same great style of pizza you will find in the greater Chicago area to Orlando. After all , we do have Giordano's in Orlando, but as of yet, no Nancy's..so let the debates begin. In addition to huge stuffed pizza, Chicago's has an offering of appetizers like mozzarella sticks, breaded mushrooms , fried zucchini, and even fried calamari.You can also order a variety of pastas like fettuccine, spaghetti and lasagna and they have a decent sandwich menu too. Some of the sandwiches include the classic Italian beef, Philly cheese steak, and chicken Parmesan to name a few. We ordered the fried zucchini for a snack, since our pie was going to take 30 minutes to bake. These were pretty good, especially dipped in the marinara sauce,and the first time I've had zucchini fried. Since I was dining with a friend from Chicago, he insisted we try out the Italian beef combo sandwich with beef, sausage,and Giardiniera peppers. Although it was really good, he was let down by the use of ciabatta bread instead of a hoagie roll. We ordered a medium special pizza with sausage, mushrooms, green peppers and onions. For $23.95, this pie sliced up into 6 slices, and was impressively massive. After sharing our appetizer and sandwiches, we could barely finish one slice of this pie. It was delicious and tasty, but very filling, and my Chicago friend approved of this pie very much.
