"We were weary of crowds after fighting our way through the German Festival, when we stumbled upon this location. When I lived in SF, I always ate Paxti's pizza, and I was very excited to see that they serve deep dish pizzas. We went in and were told that it would be a 20 minute wait as a soccer team had just left and absolutely thrashed the place. This was fine, with me, so I milled around outside and reviewed the menu. After about 20 minutes, I had decided that I wanted to order about 5 different pizzas. Of course, this wouldn't be practical for a family of 6, so we decided on the garlic bread and a Chicago chopped with red chili flakes (for the littles). The garlic bread came out fairly quickly and I was pleasantly surprised by the presentation. I was very happy to see the piles of fresh basil in top of the perfect slices of bread. Each bite was crisp and refreshing without have the kick that fresh garlic can have. The marinara sauce was top notch! Fresh with wonderfully juicy chunks of ripe tomatoes. When the pizza came out, I immediately checked the bottom of it. I've been to many deep dish restaurants and the bottom of the crust is usually soggy. This one was crisp and nicely covered with cornmeal. It was piping hot, stodgy and did not buckle under the weight of the toppings. I used a knife and fork to eat it, but I could have easily used my hands. With each bite you could taste the care and love that went into making the pizza. I would come back multiple time a week if I lived in the area and I definitely want to try the rest of the menu. Sorry Paxti's. I have a new favorite!"
