Chicago Pizza Department

After the fiasco at Maria's we ended up here.  What a pleasant surprise!  A pub-like atmosphere, friendly, funny waitress and a very good pizza.  Since we were starving we did not want to wait 45 minutes for a deep dish pizza, so we opted for a thin crust..Pepperoni, Sausage, Mushrooms & BLACK olives....and that is exactly what we received! The crust was crispy and the pizza was good...but our waitress is what made the entire evening enjoyable.  We would definitely visit here again.

The crackery goodness of this crust is a winner.  The toppings are perfect size and distribution, spices are perfectly balanced.  It's the kind of place that makes you forget the old sayings, "pizza is pizza," or "there is no bad pizza."  It's so good, it puts other places to shame.

I was out on my motor cycle checking out down town Morris on Liberty street ( a nice stretch of a old down town. reminiscing to my younger years I wanted to hit up some bars realizing not many of them were still open.

I decided to check into the Chicago Pizza department, I ordered a draft and an combo appetizer to try the place out. the beer was good, and the appetizer consisted of fried mushrooms, cauliflower, and mini tacos. The food was typical bar bar food and coated my stomach well for the beer I had ordered.

The two stars comes from the service, the bartender made a wee bit of small talk and once the food was served was never seen again. I am not sure how one is supposed to pay in this situation so I improvised.

I had 20's and a total of $7.00 in smaller bills in my pocket I am pretty sure I owed more than $7.00 but I was not about to leave a $13 tip, the alternative was to run around and operate the register.

Needless to say I laid out my $7.00, grabbed my jacket and swaggered out the door. I do not plan on coming back here again while the beer was good the food was par and the service was more awful than a NKOTB reunion tour.
