Menu & Food Information
Our deep dish pizza features a buttery, flaky crust made with cornmeal, whole milk mozzarella cheese, and our signature chunky tomato sauce made from California vine-ripened tomatoes. We've been perfecting this recipe since 1971, using only the finest ingredients and traditional Chicago techniques.
Yes! We offer gluten-free pizza crust available in personal size. Our gluten-free crust is prepared in a dedicated area to minimize cross-contamination, though we cannot guarantee a 100% gluten-free environment due to shared kitchen space.
We have numerous vegetarian options including our famous Lou pizza with spinach, mushrooms, and roma tomatoes. For vegan customers, we can prepare pizzas with vegan cheese and a variety of fresh vegetables. Please inform us of any dietary restrictions when ordering.
Our deep dish pizzas take approximately 35-45 minutes to bake properly. This longer baking time ensures the thick crust is perfectly golden and the cheese is fully melted. We recommend calling ahead or ordering online to reduce wait times.

Delivery fee is $3.99 with a minimum order of $15 before tax and tip. Orders over $50 qualify for free delivery. Delivery times typically range from 45-75 minutes depending on location and order volume.

We take food allergies seriously and will do our best to accommodate your needs. Please inform us of any allergies when ordering so we can take appropriate precautions. However, our kitchen handles multiple allergens, so we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment.
