Belemonti's Chicago Pizzeria

I went to this place all of the time when it first opened. Was a perfect example of Chicago style thin crust.
I was there a few weeks ago and it wasn't even close to its former self. Under done, and flavor less. What happened?
I wish it returned to glory...

Based on one visit for a deep dish.

Sooooo sad. I am not the biggest fan of pizza, as I only order it about once a year, but who doesn't love deep dish Chicago style pizza? I just moved from Chicago and even I enjoyed Lou Malnati's style of deep dish. The crust. ooooh the crust. So important.

I was disappointed with the Belemonti's crust for their deep dish. I think it's the same as the thin crust... just... thicker. I don't think it is baked in a cast iron skillet like Chicago style pizzas are supposed to be. I also got their hawaiian, which was ok.  But perhaps if they crisped the bacon first, or just stuck to ham, i would've enjoyed it more.

Service was friendly, sauce was pretty good. I was just really looking forward to a true Chicago style deep dish.

Next time, I might try the thin crust. We'll see.

Memorable slice. I would definitely recommend you try it.
