Old Chicago

110 kinds of beer but half of them are just normal beers you can find at any local liquor store. Ordered a Chicago style pizza...not quite a deep dish but it tastes ok. I think I'd rather go to BJs. But the beer selections I got were very tasty. The left handed milk was a nice stout. Some other Colorado brews were worth tasting too. Some of the dark beers were surprisingly light but had some nice flavor.

I'll skip directly to the service.

The service wasn't too great on my end. It was a friends birthday, and they had 2 tables reserved. On my end of things, the waitress got my drink and food order in, but pretty much ignored me the whole time. My drink was never refilled, and I waited a long time before I was able to ask for my desert that I had previously put in the order. I figured the service would be much better considering the people I was with, knew the people that worked there.

When the waitress did show up to ask people if they needed anything, she would say, "Can I help you with anything else?", and 2 seconds later she would be gone. Not enough time for me to turn around to say anything. If she could at least wait for a response from each individual, I think the miss-communication would not be an issue.

My only suggestion is that the waitress take a little bit of extra time going around asking people. It's a loud environment, so some people may not be able to hear them.

The food was very good. Had no complaints in that arena. I got their special which was a Stromboli and a dessert for 9.99. I got the Philly chicken with fresh cut veggies with it. They provided a lot of veggies with it. More than I expected, which was good.

Other than that, the experience wasn't too bad. Just a minor quip.

Good prices, great food, and a wonderful experience!

I didn't have very many expectations when walking into Old Chicago. With Chicago being one of my favorite food destinations, I figured, I'd give it a try. When stepping into the restaurant, I already knew that pizza would be my meal of choice, of course, I was enticed by a number of other options available on the menu.

Checking out the appetizer menu, I was tempted to try their nachos as I imagined the mozzarella, pepper jack, pepperoni, sausage, and banana peppers piled high on each chip, however, I figured, the Sicilian pepperoni rolls sounded much better. Wow, I was amazing by the flavor that came out of that roll, while not too overpowering, the roll was loaded with pepperoni and for a pepperoni lover, you will fall in love with this roll. Combined with ranch dressing, pepper jack, and mozzarella, the roll was amazing!

For pizzas, they had a few different choices for the types including Chicago-style, Artisan, and NY Thin Crust. I was tempted to try to Thai Pie (Chicago-style), however, something at the last minute pulled me towards the Artisan Chicken Pesto Pizza. I tried making a few pita pizzas in my own in the past and figured I'd give a restaurant a shot at making me one. To my delight, the pizza was exceptional. The crust and the cheese were not one, as it was a layer of bread, sauce, then a layer of cheese, however, when you took that bite, it hardly even mattered. What made this pizza SO good? The combination of the normal chicken pesto pizza in combination with the caramelized onions! The sweetness of the onions really did the trick and put me in heaven!

The restaurant's environment provides a sports bar type environment with at least eight HD televisions that are on different channels for you to enjoy while you done, so it can also be a nice hang out spot after work, even if you are not looking for a meal.
