After the fiasco at Maria's we ended up here. Â What a pleasant surprise! Â A pub-like atmosphere, friendly, funny waitress and a very good pizza. Â 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. Â We would definitely visit here again.
Review Source:The crackery goodness of this crust is a winner. Â The toppings are perfect size and distribution, spices are perfectly balanced. Â It's the kind of place that makes you forget the old sayings, "pizza is pizza," or "there is no bad pizza." Â It's so good, it puts other places to shame.
Review Source: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.
We went on a Saturday night about 8. All the beer tapper had plastic cups over them. Â One tapper working. Â Ordered two sandwiches to go and took 35 minutes! Â Then when we asked the bartender, she got snotty and said they had too many orders. Â 2 other tables and one was done eating! Â They put take out orders before orders for customers who are there! Â We won't be back!
Review Source:The pizza here is really good. I've had the Backyard BBQ pizza about 4 times, the chicken BBQ pizza twice and some of the other ones a couple of times. The food is very tasty and I probably prefer their pizzas than lets say Gino's East or some of the local places around my house. The CFD sauce they use in the pizza is excellent. Better than other places I've tried .
The service is pretty good. The staff is always friendly. The only knock I have is the beer selection for drafts isn't the best but it doesn't matter too much to me when the pizza is really good. You could get some stuff in bottles like Bells and Heineken. I'm not a fan of your MIller Lite, Bud Lite beers. They do have Blue Moon and leine honey weiss but I'm usually not in the mood for them.
If you are looking for delicious pizza, the Chicago Pizza Department is definitely a must-try. Â The pizza is more of a mix of Chicago-style pizza and a unique classic Italian-style pizza. Â The thin crust is baked to an almost perfect crispness and the toppings are all well placed. Â The large selection of toppings and choices between their "signature" pizzas make it easy for everyone to get what they want. Â This place would be average (three stars) if it were not for the pizza.
I've had both the meaty pizza and the veggie pizza and both were delicious.
Be ready to make a mess, however. Â The combination of the sauce, toppings, and square-cut slices make this pizza very messy.
The pizza joint does draw in an interesting crowd (mostly town-folk), but they are overall friendly people. Â The service can be a little slow at times- mostly at the bar, but never excruciatingly so. Â The place is a bit on the small side, but it rarely becomes an issue. Â Also, the pizza is not cheap.
Every other Thursday night brings karaoke into the restaurant area and a small crowd will come to sing.
I went here with my parents the other night. I've been to the Chicago Pizza Department only two or three times and it was never too bad. It's a small little place with OK pizza. They have interesting and tasty martinis. I had the "Rescue Me" martini, which is basically a mini bloody mary. Can't go wrong there.
No, the thing that put a damper on the night was when I left my table to go see what beers they had at the bar. The bartender meandered over and asked what I wanted. Unlike most bars, this restaurant did not display its bottled beers anywhere in sight, so when I asked, "What beers do you have in bottles?" she looked at me as if I had just asked if there were dead babies behind the bar or something. I rephrased the question, after she stared at me like I was insane, and asked if they had bottled beer or just beers on tap. Nodding slowly like I was going to attack her, she said that they had beers in bottles. Ok, getting somewhere now. "What kinds do you have?" Speaking slowly to me like I was missing half a brain, she responded, "We have a lot of beers in bottles." Getting frustrated now, I peered around the bar to see if they were displayed somewhere and I was just missing it. "Well, what kinds do you have?" "We.Have. A. Lot." Is all she replied with.
At this point, two Morris hicks at bar began to stare at me, one of them being (no surprise) a powerful Morris government official. So, as I stood there trying to figure out why this situation had gotten so embarrassing and confusing for absolutely no reason, I had to force myself to ignore the two burly pigs next to me who decided to leer at my tits and ass as the bartender spoke me like I was an eight-year-old child. Finally sighing in defeat as the bartender continued to stare and speak to me in such a rude and absurdly pompous way, I just threw up my arms and walked back to my table to recount the story to my parents. After asking my waitress what beers they had in bottles, I found the "many beers" the restaurant had were Miller, Bud, and Heineken. See....it's not that hard of an answer.
