I like this place and it's close to home. I ordered a specialty pizza, "The Popeye" (cute...) yeah, spinach BUT with minced garlic, and chose Chicago style crust. They have several types of crusts, which is nice, but I ordered a medium, which was pretty decent; I'd like a bit more spinach, please, otherwise I loved it. This was too much pizza for me so the next time I ordered a small Chicago style and it was perfect. I opened the box and when I saw this adorable little Chicago style pizza for one, I spoke out loud: "You are so CUTE." So what if I live alone, this pizza WAS so cute!! This size is perfect for one person; it's like two slices of pizza....but the deep dish is the way to go. The seating area is pretty big, but I've never seen anyone dining in, no matter what time I frequent the place. I've eaten a lot of pizza in 75 years and I'm picky. I still haven't found pizza like the Italian district in Boston where I grew up, but this is pretty damn close. read more

Pizza is absolutely delicious and the sauce is savory. It's definitely Chicago pizza worth a try!

Sunday. March 16, 2025. Dinner. My wife and I ate here with my mother for dinner. Dining room was empty when we first arrived but filled up quickly. We could see they do a robust drive through and pick up business. The location we visited is on Eubank, south of Montgomery. They also have a location off of Gibson. This is a veteran owned business, which I like. they have a permanently reserved table for the POW-MIA soldiers. They have a poster (see attached photo) that says that their life savings was stolen by a pizza franchise and then they started Chicago Pizza Kitchen. We ordered a large, Chicago style, Classic specialty pizza. This came with a pan, deep dish crust, mushrooms, marinara, cheese, fennel sausage, green bell peppers and onions. The reason it's called a Chicago pizza is because the vegetables and meat are on the bottom, then the cheese, and finally the marinara sauce. This pizza came to $22. Both the man and the lady at the counter were a bit gruff, but the pizza came out in about fifteen minutes. I must say, the fennel sausage tasted extraordinary, the crust was thick and crispy and the marinara didn't taste sweet. I hate sweet marinara. Overall, a very good pie and the layers with the cheese in the middle and marinara on top really worked out well. No soggy crust. Service could have been nicer, but I'm not complaining cause the pizza was damn good. They have lots of customers too. They are open til 8:30 pm, 7 days a week. The sign on the front door says the dining room closes at 7:30 pm, but I will tell you a secret. It was still open when we left at 7:30 pm. read more

I love this place so much! Get the bread sticks with cheese and extra marinara. It's legit the best. This is our go to pizza place near our house! Love! read more

First I'd like to point out this has been my favorite pizza in ABQ. I tried to call in an order, the moronic AI garbage they have on the phone puts them in the same category as Weinerschnitzel and I'll never order again. I had to hang up due to having 2 people talking to me at the same time and I couldn't get my order in over the phone. I have over 20 years as a GM in the pizza industry and that is literally the worst choice to make for your business. The pizza itself was subpar. I ordered a large Chicago deep dish. Between the AI and having to order at the window I ordered Xtra cheese 4 times and never got it. Even when the guy repeated my order back to me TWICE he still couldn't comprehend the order correctly. The dough tasted old possibly. I wasn't happy. My girlfriend wasn't happy. And I talked this place up to her for weeks..... read more

This was the first time I tried this place and I wasn't impressed at all. The $18 specialty pizza was tiny, I ordered a mini salad that was barely any wilted lettuce and an order of wings that seems like they had been kept hot for many hours. I won't order here again. read more

Gross pizza I've ever had. $22 For a small just cheese thin crust. Don't bother. 4 small slices.

Their AI calling system is horrible. Try to address a issue with the food and you can't even get through. You have to go in person. Order a pizza and didn't even get any sauce. read more

Solid pizza at a reasonable price! Start here on Wednesday and excited! Place can look empty but that dinner rush is huge!

Charged a 3% service fee on a cash ticket.ordered 16" pizza got 14". Purchased Monday at 4pm went to business Friday at open to complain and was told by the owner I waited to long. I was told that was a 16" in a 14" box. Dough was old and undercooked. Very bad customer service. Phone service is all AI, no human would answer. read more

Not lgbtq+ friendly!! Pizza wasn't cooked all the way our deep dish was doughy and the cheese wasn't melted! Cheese pizza was over seasoned like a bunch of salt was put on top. Our 6 old felt sick after a few bits. You have lost our business and respect, it's a shame because I love to support our veterans and woman owned businesses, that should be a win win but I will not support a business that hates and disrespects me. read more

I placed an order on November 27th an hour and 15 minutes before closing. I pull up at the time of closing (8:30 pm) because that was an option online. Myself and one other person arrive. The worker already turned the lights off in the restaurant and tried to ignore us so I stayed there parked. She finally opens the window and says she didn't see our order until 8:30 pm and wouldn't be fulfilling the orders placed and would refund us. I called the store on the 29th to see if I would be receiving a refund as I hadn't seen anything yet and it truly didn't feel like the order had been refunded. So when I called there was an automated person "it sounds like" but yet I could hear the staff laughing in the background (as I'm trying to talk to someone.) It is now December 5th and I never received a refund so I will be disputing the charge. Regardless of them stealing my money and not giving me my food. What was the employee doing for an hour and 15 minutes to which she wasn't paying attention and couldn't fulfill anyone's orders? Really disappointing seeing as we travelled from Gibson (which they had to close down their Chicago Pizza Kitchen there) and went to Eubank and Montgomery just for this to happen. Poor customer service. read more

Owner was mad cuz I had an allergic reaction and rated 1 star on Google so first he started calling me some names, called me a different person, and even reported my review so Google would remove it.

I have ordered and enjoyed pizzas from this business many times before. Today I went in with my son to eat in their dining room the first time. We ordered a pizza and breadsticks. The woman who took our order was there by herself. A person came in just after us and ordered food as well. The person behind us must've been a regular as he and the employee proceeded to chat and talk for 20 minutes as he was ordering. In the mean time our order was just sitting there as she was the only one there. I would not recommend eating in the dining room as the person after us got their food before we did. We were there for 45 minutes before getting our pizza because she was focused on her regular customer. Stick to drive through or delivery. The food is awesome but the service is not so much. Wasted our time today chatting with her friend. We must've not had anything better to do. read more

Hadn't tried it in a while and now I remember why. Deep dish pizza dough is undercooked, pizzas are overpriced for their size (mediums are small or personal size) and the wings are the smallest I've ever had. read more

this review is for the new location at 9250 GOLF COURSE RD NW Albuquerque, NM 87114 just went in there and ordered a small salad, 2 drinks and a small deluxe pizza to share with my husband. Paid for and then waited over 15 minutes to get the salad and then after waiting another 20 plus minutes,we got a plate with a very small 7 inch pizza on it . only one plate offered that meant we had to lean over in case anything dropped onto the one plate for 2 peopl. Very disappointed and will never go back again and will encourage everyone else not to go. I only gave 1 star because the pizza was good but the service was terrible. read more

Decided to dine in! The atmosphere was calm and music great. Our food was tasty. Opted for a chicken Alfredo pasta, spaghetti and meatballs pasta and kids cheese pizza. Very flavorful and just the right amount of sauce on every plate. The staff is great, very friendly and attentive. Busy with online orders but took care of all the dine in people a total of 7 ; 3 different tables. Would definitely recommend dine in. read more

Ordered a pizza for delivery an hour and 15 minutes before closing time they took the order said they would deliver. The restaurant called us back after they closed and said they can no longer deliver and said they would wait for us to come pick it up. We went to get the pizza and when we brought it home, realized that it had been sitting for a while and the cheese on the pizza wasn't even melted all the way I'm pretty sure it was the worst pizza I have ever tasted, I spit it out and didn't eat the pizza. Will never go again and strongly discourage anyone else from trying it. read more

This pizza establishment from what I recalled was twice as better than this recent experience. The pizza was no better than dominos to compare it. Pizza was a little bit soggy and taste was hardly apparent. Nevertheless customer service always seems to thrive and they always eager to have you in their establishment. The place is neat and clean and gives off welcoming vibes overall. read more

We enjoyed this unique version of Chicago style deep dish pizza which is basically made upside-down. The made a mistake on our order so they gave us an extra pizza for free. It's small inside but the accommodated our party of 6. We'll return. read more

Ordered the Italian beef sandwich and fries. The sandwich is overcooked and dry and the fries are undercooked and cold.

Disgusting food. Spoiled beef. Sausage casing so thick you can't even bite through it. Counter person couldn't care less. We used to like this place. Never going to eat here again. read more

So I'm updating my review of the Chicago Pizza kitchen based on my second purchase which was a deep dish or what they call a true Pizza. My first impression upon opening the box was at the pizza was absolutely tiny and considering that I paid $14.02 for it including tax I felt robbed. My hand is pretty small and the pizza is not even as large as the circumference of my hand. It literally had four small wedges. But all in all that was probably a good thing because this was the second worst pizza I've ever eaten in my life. The first one was a Pizza Hut pizza in Milwaukee Wisconsin on a night when summerfest was rained out by torrential rains and a lightning storm. Ended up at the Pizza Hut with family members while we were staying at a hotel asked for extra everything and the pizza was so heavy and ridiculous that we laughed about it and still tell stories about it. But at least in that case I didn't feel ripped off. So you know how you can buy a woman's purse and it can either be a designer purse or a facsimile of that designer's purse? The same is true of Chicago Pizza kitchens pizzas; they are knockoffs that look like Chicago Pizza but the initial look is all you get the rest is totally fake false and a fallacy in every way. With that said it is still a really clean restaurant the staff is really nice and I hope for this business that they can learn how to make a pizza with good dough and crust. I'm still going to come back and try their lasagna and their Italian beef sandwiches and then we'll see what my final rating is. read more

I've been dying to try this place out as it's not too far from my home. And we pass by it all the time. My wife decided to surprise me by bring home a pepperoni pizza. It was very ordinary. Nothing about it stood out. I mean, there was nothing wrong with it. There's just other places that offer better pizza. It's better than 2 stars but... On a scale from one to ten, it's about a six. read more

It's refreshing to enter a business that has a patriotic feel. The first thing you'll see is the missing man table beneath a US Flag. Then there are various pics of service members. So it was an order at the counter, grab a seat and wait for your order. So it was the Italiano (sausage, artichoke, olives & ham) & stuffed crust. Pizza came to us nice and hot. Light sauce & plenty of crust on the ends. The marinara & some ranch dressing to dip our crust into was in order. A really great tasting pizza with lots of ingredients and just enough to eat. Not a bad lunch. If you're looking for a good pizza give this place a try! read more

The Chicago Style a deep dish is Excellent! I usually buy the large True Chicago deep dish so I can freeze some for a few other days. I always ask for extra sauce with the crushed tomatoes because after it freezes the sauce soaks in a little. When they make it with Extra extra sauce it's perfect for another day! I'm from the Chicago land area and this is the closest I can find here in Albuquerque, NM. (In Chicago at Duo Pizza Restaurant you actually need a fork and knife it's so deep.) I don't order out much but I am addicted to this pizza! At least once or twice a month I'll get the large. Yesterday (May 30, 2023) I placed an order over the phone for my family visiting from TX and they loved it. The cooks hit it on the head with this pizza! It was on time and Just amazing! The person on the phone and drive thru were kind people. I wish I would have discovered them Years Ago! Chef's kiss read more

The restaurant has signs saying they are short staffed, but they did just fine providing for us in the mid-afternoon. We ordered a "true chicago" pizza and the sauce was very flavorful. Next time, I would ask for extra sauce. The cheesy breadsticks were good quality but didn't stand out for me. I really liked the design of the pans they served our breadsticks and pizza in. They are textured so any liquids that drip from the pizza don't soak the crust. The crust was very good and not greasy. Their seating was mostly booths which comfortably accommodate 4 people per booth. There were a couple of similarly small tables from which I borrowed a chair to seat our family of 5. We had to borrow an extra booth to hold a pan for us. There was a tv in the room silently playing the Canadian show Just For Laughs Gags (season 10, episode 16). read more

Food is amazing. love the chicago pizza and calzones. this is the 3rd time i ordered online and they didnt start making my order until i got there. I had to wait 18 minutes there after paying. this is insane. why do a phone order and the AI person saying it will be ready in 15 minutes when it is not. they said the second time i ordered they will fix that on my account. didn't happen. it made me miss an appointment i had. staff was not at all sorry about this. i ask for two free ranch dressings since i waited and they did nothing! Food A, service F! I'm not a happy customer!!! read more

I ordered delivery from their website on Sunday. Come to find out it's delivered via Door Dash. Never received my order! I called and the "owners daughter" told me she would try and resolve my issue "if she had time." I guess she never had time. I called the day after to get a refund of $53 since I never received what I paid for. The man who answered the phone said he would try and help me - never did. He did say "the owners are very strict on refunds." To recap. I placed an order on the website. Never received my order, I have been denied a refund after 4 phone calls. read more

We were in Chicago last year and fell in love with Chicago Style pizza. We heard about this place in Albuquerque and decided to give it a try. This place is completely across town from where we live along the Bosque but well worth the trip! We ordered the traditional Chicago Style with pepperoni. Went through the dirve up for pick up and it was ready to go. Great customer service and just a real friendly vibe. Got the pizza home and we were ready to eat. Two slices later, I was full! This pizza has an amazing crust and the sauce is like nothing i have tasted on our local pizzas. Cheesy enough but not overkill and plenty of pepperoni's with every bite. We have been back three times since. Each time, we comment, it is worth the trip! read more

GET SOME CHANGE! Stop keeping my change and then asking for a tip for doing your job. Very disappointing that you hide under the guise of being Veteran owned. Also you need to stop adding an extra charge for changing 1 item for another. If I don't want sausage on my special and put beef on instead, it shouldn't be $2 more. You don't take $2 off if I remove 1 item. Your business model needs work. You steal from people, just like those other guys you used to work for (Pizza9). Your sob story detailing your back story is flawed. read more

Great pizza especially the deep dish green chili was delicious they are definitely top 3 around Abq ranks

I had a really marvelous experience taking out two pizzas to go through their drive thru. A large bacon & pepperoni, and a large chicago style with pepperoni....my family really enjoyed it!
