Pazza Pizza

I rate this a place that has OK pizza, the type you want after drinking. It's not that it is bad; it's just ordinary. I prefer a fresh made to order pizza over pizza that has been laying on the counter for hours. However, if you are looking for that slice to fill a craving, then this is a place for you. The pepperoni was better than the buffalo chicken bacon as it was over-salted. The regular cheese slice is just ordinary. (BTW - I always look at the amount of reviews from folks that give places like this 5 stars, or sya it's the best pizza in Chicago! Why is it that they have very few reviews and decided this is the place they were going to review?)

Came upon Pazza Pizza when in search of late night pizza spots. Had not been so decided to give it a shot. To my range of various pizza places I have visited this is definitely on the very low end of pizza places in Chicago. I am SO confused by these reviews who identify it with being a New York slice, in New York stars, this would be a 1… FOR EFFORT! I guess the slices of pizza offered here can be considered a ‘NY slice’… if you’ve never been there? Ordered a regular cheese pie to get a real taste of what this establishment has to offer and on the first bite was immediately filled with disgust as I felt a puddle of grease drip down on my tongue from the pizza. Put that slice down and stomached through it. Was not a big fan of the big aroma of garlic, to my surprise. Realized about half of the pizza was very very drenched in grease, and I’ve seen moisture from sauce, from cheese, but on this box was moisture from neither of those. It was all coming from the grease which accumulated in some certain pockets of pizza slices. Picked out the slices which were bearable and were lucky enough to not to touch any residue. Slices were okay… Ratio was not there. Cheese was overpowering for the rest of the ingredients, did not get a good taste of the crust, and less of the sauce! If you literally want a couple cheese slices thrown on a thin pizza crust, this is your place. For the price point was very disappointed to hear there’s happy customers paying $5 a slice for this? For that price point you can get a much better slice at various places in the city in terms of quality and taste. I’ve visited too many unique pizza establishments and this is extremely close to Sarpino’s if you just ruined a couple things here and there. If you’re a fan of Sarpino’s and/or low quality cafeteria food, you might just love this place. Will definitely go out of my way to not recommend.
