I was craving some deep dish pizza and decided to finally order from here. It was phenomenal. This reminds me so much of Pequod's pizza and is easily the best deep dish pizza in town. I love the taste of the pizza and ordinarily don't like crust very much but this crust is incredible. This pizza is heavier on the bread side and really is delicious if that's what you're in the mood for. Highly recommended! read more

Burt's Place - Deep dish - Pizza Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

The food: We didn't try any food other than the pizza. We ordered a medium deep dish with three toppings. One of our toppings was their special recipe sausage and it was very good. Overall, the pizza was good and I would order it again, but, being from Chicago, it's not quite on par with legit Chicago pizza. It is very nice to have a different style of pizza available in town. The location: We dined in the restaurant. Nice, big location on Main St. They could use some ambiance with some decor. Being all about Chicago, adding some Chicago art would be great! Hire a graffiti artist to tag some Chicago murals on those white walls! That would be fire! The service: Our server was ok. I noticed other servers seemed to be more attentive and informative. It was our first time there. We didn't notice the bar from where we were seated. When we gave our order, looking at the menu, we didn't see any alcohol so we thought they didn't have any. While she was taking our order we even mentioned that, shoot, we really wanted a beer and she didn't say anything. After our waitress took our order we noticed the bar. We flagged our waitress down and told her we didn't realize they had alcohol and we'd like to order if she could bring us a drinks menu. She said it was on the table. It was, but we didn't notice because it was on one of those small stand up table menus and the side facing us was weekly specials. The alcohol was listed on the other side. The print is so small and the color is weird so we could barely read it. We could see the dry erase boards posted at the bar for what was on tap from our table, but it was just names with no explanation of what kind of beer. They need to have a bigger, more clear drinks menu that's made available when you sit down, and there needs to be more explanation on their beers, at least telling if it's an IPA or what. Our waitress never came back until our pizza was ready so we never got to order our beer. read more

The fries were good. However the middle pieces had the entire slice but the crust slide off a bit and it was hard to grab the middle pieces. Good job making the corners triangle, since we forgot to ask for triangles. It's essentially small restaurant + pizza. Ambiance was good. read more

Fantastic pizza. The sausage was off the charts. Appetizers were fine, but nothing special. I say save your appetite for the pizza. Some complain it's not authentic Chicago style.... I don't know, but it's authentically awesome. The pizza is pricey, but comparable to any other dining out experience for a group of 6. Service was great. We went for a family Christmas dinner. I accidentally left a Christmas card that my dad gave me at the table. I didn't realize it until we got home, I called right away and the staff found it. I was able to go back and retrieve the card with no issues. Very friendly and helpful staff. Check this place out! read more

Got pizza and salad for carry out. The thin crust pizza was overcooked and the lettuce in the salad was old and brown. We've been there before and had a pleasant experience bit this was not acceptable read more

We ordered 5 Pizza's from Burts Place for a Surprise Birthday Party for pickup. We have eaten in the restaurant a few times since it opened and loved the pizza so decided to have it for the party. The Pizza's were delicious and fed the 21 adults and 6 children who were there. I highly recommend Burt's place in Lafayette Indiana. Whether the pizza is authentic Chicago or not, it is wonderful and deserves a try, you will go back! read more

Friendly customer service. Fantastic pizza, reminds me of the original in Chicago. Would definitely recommend trying.

First time here. We were greeted fast. The service was friendly. We had a salad that fed all 4 of us. The pizza was amazing.. Just like Chicago!! Would definitely come back again !! read more

My cousin suggested this location for similar-to-Chicago-pizza.... It was far from it. The pizza received was slightly better (4/10) than frozen from the store. Our salad (8/10) was good and probably the best thing I suggested there. The server we had was short, disengaging, forgetful of our order three times and when asking for anything she rolled her eyes repeatedly. The best way I can remember her is she was wearing a grey sweater with the words trust me on the front and she had dark colored hair. read more

This is fantastic, authentic Chicago pizza. From Time-out Chicago's list of best Chicago pizzas: "Pequod's has become the standard for deep dish in Chicago with its unique caramelized crust. At Pequod's, order pies loaded with sausage, spinach, ground beef, giardiniera, and more and see how a burnt, cheesy crust can drastically enhance an already-great classic" Burt's pizzas are just like Pequod's. read more

Finally an authentic Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza restaurant in Lafayette. Pizza was delicious and service was especially great! Plenty of seating in brand new building. Very nice and clean. Fun atmosphere. Even the thinner style pizza looks amazing - may try that next! read more

Burt's Place - Chicago Style Deep Dish - Sausage & Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

Pizza was not what I was expecting. The deep dish was just the dough. Ordered mixed bell pepper on the pizza and they were still hard after coming out of the oven. $13 for a very, very small appetizer. All were things I could have bought from the frozen section at Walmart and baked myself. Just disappointed read more

Excellent service. We were seated right away. Had breadsticks with nacho cheese sauce as an appetizer - these were so good! Husband & I shared a medium deep dish pizza (so we had leftovers); again, the pizza was so good! We had a bit of a wait on the pizza but our server let us know this & kept us happy with drink refills & those wonderful breadsticks. We'll be sure to go back to Burt's Place again soon! read more

I have heard this place is awesome by several people and my boys. So I decided to give it a try with my 12 year old son. It was not at all good. The service was not great. First off let me tell you that there was more workers in the place than customers. I walk in and stood at the front door for at least 5 minutes. Employees looked at me and did not say a word. I ordered a large deep dish pizza and the crust was burnt and you had to have a knife just to cut the crust. I would try it again but this time was a total disappointment. read more

Man, Man, Man......let me start with the ambience as usual. This is a newly constructed building and Burt's is nestled right into the first floor. Its has a very modern and hip feel but a few of the chairs I think where the classic white and red checkerboard which is a throwback to classic pizzerias.It's part of the iconic Lafayette Indiana downtown scene on Main St. so definitely it's a whole vibe. My server Ian seemed like a genuinely happy to be there type of guy and he was knowledgeable about all of their products I mean in detail as well as many of their (competitors) products. And most importantly the food.....first bite tastes like you just died and you see the gates and St. Peter says come on in and you know you've made it. See some places claim to have fresh ingredients but in that first bite I had to ask about the chicken. They prepare their chicken from fresh breasts that they season and cook themselves. He said the same chicken is used for the tenders so I'm getting that next time. And jolly me oh my the mule I had.....they do some crazy prestidigitation with Fanta and it comes out tasting like the got the recipe from Merlin the greatest magician ever. He told me about the cannolis but I will have to what til next time which there 100000000000000.000% will be. That was some epic eating read more

Had a great experience at Burts. We tried the deep dish and the regular style. They make them in a pan so the edges and the bottom get a little crunchy and chewy. Might not be for everyone, but our table loved the flavor and the style of crusts. Due to the edges becoming done, the pizzas take a little longer, but they were upfront about that with us. It was worth the wait, I'll be back. My friends already went again. My friends gave me a sample of a cold piece from their fridge and it was even better. read more

We got a thin crust pizza. It was delicious! Crust was cooked right, sauce was yummy. A little pricey for the toppings though. Pizza was ready when promised. Went on a Monday night & had no trouble parking to run in & pick up. Hope this place makes it! Worth a try read more

The only thing I can say of my experience is that staff was nice. Was pretty excited to get home and try it. I was very disappointed. It was mostly dough with very little toppings. Wasn't impressed with the flavor either. Gotta say it was my first and last time. read more

Bread sticks were not warm and only one order had garlic on them. Deep dish pizza had some garlic powder sprinkled on the bottom of the pan but the crust otherwise was bland and had minimal toppings. It too was only warm. The thin crust was better but we had chicken as a topping that was unseasoned. The waiter seemed puzzled by the breadsticks not being hot or brushed with garlic seasoning. $90 for two pizzas and six drinks. Ridiculous for poor pizza. Will not return. read more

Excellent Pizza! Comparing to other chains it's a bit more expensive but well worth it! The staff were warm and welcoming! Nice selection of beer. We will definitely be back! read more

This is the worst tasting pizza I've ever had. I feel sick . No where near an authentic chicago style pizza at all. I know chicago style pizza and this was absolutely pathetic. Not happy at all. Just wasted my money on this! How can anyone make any type of compliments?? read more

We ordered pickup from Burt's, and will *definitely* be coming back for more! The toppings were fresh and delicious -- I especially loved the fresh garlic -- and the crispy, cheesy crust was cooked to perfection! My bf and I split a 10" and it was the perfect amount, though next time I'll probably get my own so I have leftovers. When I placed my order, the projected wait was 45 minutes, and it was hot, fresh, and ready when I arrived. I look forward to dining in and trying some apps in the future, and the menu is diverse and the interior looks very inviting. Welcome to Lafayette, Burt's! read more

excellent pizza and service. best in town. quiet and relaxing. would recommend to anyone looking for good pizza--great crust

I was excited to visit but came away extremely disappointed. Ordered a 16 inch deep dish with mushroom and pepperoni. As others have commented, it was very doughy with fewer toppings than I would have thought. It cost about $35 not including the tip. It tasted OK, but I was not impressed. Given that price point I will not visit again as there are other places I prefer that happen to cost less. read more

Recommend the Mac and cheese poppers. Has the thin crust. Simple menu. Amazing dough. Will come back for sure!

Pizza was awesome! I'm not well versed in regional styles of pizza, but we will be coming back for the deep dish. My husband and I got a large and we could have done a medium- I honestly felt full after just one slice. The crust was perfect. + great service read more

Went to Burt's Lace the other night and had a fantastic pizza, the service was excellent as well. We knew Burt from back in the early Pequod days in Morton Grove, IL. Anthony Bourdain featured him on one of his shows, he loved Burt and his pizza (and Bourdain was a real New York pizza snob). Saveur Magazine put his pizza on their magazine cover (which made it impossible to get a table). Burt's was ranked top ten in many polls nationwide . Finally, Lafayette has a place for great deep dish! We will be back often! read more

Delicious pizzas. Don't expect a stuffed pie or butter crust like Giordano's or Lou's--the deep dish here is more of a Midwest hybrid, bringing in the best of Chicago and Detroit with a clean, chunky sauce. Highly recommend the house-made sausage. read more

Chicago transplant from Lafayette. Ive been eating at the original Burt's in Morton Grove for years. This is good pizza. I've never had the thin crust so I can't comment but the deep dish is one of my all time favs. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant itself is a tad stark and lacks character but that pizza ... yummm. read more

Excellent quality food and service, however I was sad that it wasn't a Chicago style deep dish pizza, but more of a Detroit style. Still will go back and have again. read more

Chicago born and raised critic here, this place has a decent taste. It does feel like a hybrid combo of high quality deep dish Chicago and low quality mad mushroom pizza. Weird. Heads up, the velocity of this coming out the other end will be fast and painfully furious (pre-warning). Doesn't hold a candle to Lou Malnati's or Giordonnos. It is cheap in price, cheaper than "Pizza Un-affordable" read more
