Pizzapapalis is known for their Chicago style deep dish pizza. They also have Detroit style, and thin crust as well. The salads are big enough for 2 people to split. And the bone in wings are probably the best in the the city. The staff is super friendly, too. I recommend this place for sure. You won't leave hungry, and leftovers is almost a definite. 🍕 🍕
If you like Chicago style deep dish pizza, this is your place. Great pizza and great service on a Saturday for lunch. The menu offers many other items including thin crust pizza. Good beer selection and full bar. It takes them 40 minutes to cook your deep dish...but worth the wait!
I cannot say enough good things about this place. their chicago style deep dish is the best i have had in a long time. the crust is so buttery and flaky, it’s like a croissant! & the sauce was fresh and flavorful… you can tell it was made with love. every bite is gooey, crispy, and savory. i loved it so much! absolutely worth the wait & every single penny. if you want a pizza that will leave you speechless, this is it!
I stopped in to try this place out. I was in the area. I got seated right away. There were a few other tables with people. Not too busy. I over heard that a large pizza takes 45 minutes to cook. Since I didn't have a lot of time, I went with the 6" pepperoni pizza. The pizza came out in about 10 minutes. The chicago style pizza was a bit of a surprise. The sauce was on top! First the crust, then pepperoni, cheese, and sauce. I can understand why it takes so long to cook a large. The crust is thick. Double layer. The crust was delicious. A bit crunchy. I couldn't really taste the pepperoni, being burried beneath everything. The sauce was good, nice flavor, good balance of herbs and spices. Overall, the pizza was good. I've read some of the comments about the pizza. How some said the pizza wasn't cooked all the way. I can understand that. The oven is not the conveyor belt style the chain pizza places use. The oven is more like a rotisserie. The pizza's circle around and around. The chef has to decide when the pizza is done. Overall, I liked the pizza.
Date Night Done Right at Pizza Papalis! My husband and I decided to switch things up with a Tuesday date night, and this was our first time trying Pizza Papalis. We ordered the deep dish veggie pizza with mushrooms, spinach, banana peppers, green peppers, and green olives—loaded and delicious! We also got the cheesy bread with spinach and feta cheese that was pretty good. My husband had to get French fries and Surprisingly, they ended up being a favorite too—crispy, well-seasoned, and way better than we expected. I had an Amaretto Sour, which was smooth and refreshing, while my husband enjoyed the Italian Cherry Margarita. Our waitress was very nice and checked on us often, which made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back, especially to take advantage of the half-off Tuesday pizza deal with the purchase of an appetizer. We’re also excited to go back once the weather breaks so we can enjoy the breeze with the garage-style windows open—it looks like the perfect summer vibe! The only downside? Parking can be a bit of a challenge. But overall, great food, friendly service, and a perfect spot for a chill night out.
