I am from the Chicago area, so every once in awhile I'd like some deep dish pizza, which is very hard to find outside where I grew up. The few places I've tried with it have mostly been disappointing. This pizza was good. No, it's not exact, but I thought it was tasty and hit the spot for Chicago deep dish in New Mexico. I will get it again sometime. read more

Chicago Pizza Kitchen - Vegetarian deep dish pizza - Italian Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We drove up to Albuquerque just to try this pizza place on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. We walk in around 11:30 and it wasn't too busy inside but they had a lot of door dash orders going out. We put our order in and waited about 15 minutes for our appetizers and about 20 minutes for our Chicago deep dish pizza. The chicken wings were good, I ordered them with mango habanero sauce and it wasn't hot but overall the chicken wings were good, a little pricey though. When our pizza came out it was the wrong pizza. I told the worker and he apologized and told me to wait a few minutes and he would make me the correct one. The correct pizza came out about 15 minutes later and it was great. It wasn't as thick as the pizza I've had at Giordanos in Chicago or Las Vegas but for around here (NM), it was great. Lots of cheese, tomato sauce topping and full of pepperoni and sausage. Me and my son ate the entire large pizza, 4 huge pieces each. I'm still so full writing this and it's been 5 hours since we left. I would definitely come back here and eat again. Price for this large Chicago deep dish was $22 and worth it imo. Service here was great. Friendly worker and very nice. Btw this guy was taking orders, making pizzas, handling the tables all by himself. Two thumbs up from me. Hope to be back someday... read more

Updating my review to two stars because this is the second time I've called well before posted closing hours and they've been closed. The pizza is terrific, but if you're that good, you should be able to plan well enough to accommodate Friday night pizza orders without "running out of everything" by 7:29pm! Four times I've tried to order from these guys, and twice the same issue. Very unimpressed with their 50% success rate. read more

I was kind of a prick to the guy working after having a very long workday. I ended up ordering the large Chicago style all meat pizza which I love and apologizing to the guy. He was still nice and pleasant. I appreciate the service and will be back for more pizza. read more

Best pizza I've had here in Albuquerque. I had the deluxe combo with sausage, peppers, onions, mushrooms and olives. Great crust and the sauce is delicious. I also love the fact that it's owned and run by Veterans. Drop a couple of dollars in the box and support our Veterans. read more

Chicago Pizza in Albuquerque, NM, is hands down the best I've had! I've tried pizza all over the U.S., but this sauce? So good. It should win an award if it hasn't already. The crust is perfectly crispy and soft--like it can't decide what it wants to be. If you haven't been, go now! Your taste buds will thank you, and you might start dreaming about that sauce. Seriously, it's that good! read more

The veggie deep dish Chicago pizza was the best. Chicago has nothing on these folks. Great crust great veggies great marinara sauce. This place is good as it gets . The manager does a great job preparing the food. Incredible family run business. Great folks great food. I highly recommend read more

This is one of the worst take out I have ever received. I ordered a salad, lasagna and tiramisu. The salad had old shriveled vegetables. The little cup of cheese included had the white on it that grows close to being moldy. The lasagna was old with the whole bottom almost burned. Will not get food from this place again. Surprised this food was allowed out the door. I was charged $28 for this mess. read more

Ordered a Pizza through Uber eats Was supposed to be a Chicago Pizza Clearly it wasn't Won't order from here again Not Ubereats fault read more

I'm from Chicago and I think it's the closest thing to Chicago stuffed pizza. It's not like typical pan pizza. I like the sauce, tastes fresh without a lot of added spice. But I'd love the pizza if the crust was better. The base is kind of thick, too doughy and not enough cheese. I guess I'm picky about crust. But overall the sauce brings it up a level. I like it. read more

5//5 stars food was amazing will definitely be coming back! Staff was friendly and made sure I got what I wanted! I love the decor really makes you feel like you're in Chicago! read more

Chicago Pizza Kitchen - Large True Chicago - Italian Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

It's is kind of fast food parlor kind of service. Booths are comfortable enough. I'm from Jersey so I think of Chicago style as more of a casserole, but it is a good deep dish pizza. Albuquerque is kind of rough for East coasters looking for NY, but the Chicago Pizza Kitchen is a different experience, and I don't know how true to Chicago it is, but I enjoyed scarfing up what they were laying down. read more

I love thick crust Chicago style pizza, and I have not found a good one here in Albuquerque until now. The sauce was ample and tasty, and there was actual ample sausage and peperoni and chili on this very tasty pizza, I highly recommend it. read more

This place is great! Ordered a small pizza with green chilies and a salad. The pizza was excellent. Having been to Chicago often enough to know Chicago pizza this one hit the spot! The salad was enormous and fresh and delicious too! The guy working was friendly and efficient...what's not to like? I will definitely be back! read more

We got All Meat True Chicago Pizza with green Chile and Buffalo wings to go for the second time last night. It's was sooo good. I am not an expert on what is authentic Chicago pizza but I can say that it's just very good pizza. Plus it's veteran owned and operated. read more

I was hoping to save some for tomorrow...this pizza will not make it to tonight. This pizza was OUTSTANDING, in my opinion. They followed my desired cooking instruction and their pizza sauce was beautifully balanced btwn tomato and seasonings not too tart or overly spiced. I have found my new pizza. From one vet to another vet: Mission Acommplished, Job Well Done! read more

Chicago Pizza Kitchen - Italian Beef - Italian Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We went there for the first time with some of our friends for their Chicago style pizza and ordered two large pizzas. The counter service was friendly and overall the service was good. The pizzas were good, but not stellar. The tomato sauce was too bland / mainstream for Chicago style and missed a bit of spice like fennel. Trust was good and kept up well when reheated the next day. In fact, I thought the whole pizza tasted better the next day. No alcohol is being served. I'd recommend they cut a deal with the brewery next door, similar to what boxing bear offers in some of their places. read more

The only thing Chicago is the name. This is Pizza Hut pan pizza, that's all. I thought I had worst pizza in ABQ before but this place is as bad as pizza 9. Horrible. Order online if you want Chicago pizza.. it will be frozen but better than anything here. read more

They have a sign that says BEST PIZZA IN ALBUQUERQUE and man are they right!!!! The crust makes the pizza! I tried the True Chicago Deluxe and also got a lasagna. Extra bonus they told me they make the lasagna from scratch! The lasagna was so awesome with lots of beef and cheese so delicious but back to this pizza....that crust was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Dont know how they did it but man I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK FOR MORE OF THAT PIZZA! read more

Best pizza hands down! The crust is so buttery and soft in the middle and nice and crisp on the outside. Just the perfect bite! I always order the True Chicago but I just heard they have an xl thin crust so I will be trying that one out next time! Kudos to the manager who runs Gibson he does an excellent job taking care of the customers here! Plus they are veterans and support disabled veterans! Win-Win-Win for me! read more

This rating is a four, simply because one shouldn't have to ask for Napkins upon delivery, come on, train your Delivery Drivers! The Pizza was spot on, with fresh and plentiful ingredients. read more

Pizza was ok- if you have ever been to Chicago you know a large deep dish pizza takes about an hour to cook and easily feeds 8 people. I was shocked when they said a large would take 15 minutes. The large here was $30 and did not come close to feeding 6. We also had wings, mozzarella sticks, and green chili cheese fries. They were all ok- 3 stars for this place. read more

Great restaurant for take out or even a stop for lunch. If you're looking for a great Italian beef sandwich to remind you of Chicago this is your spot ! My family and I will be back for sure . Thank you read more

Love the True Chicago and the fast friendly service. The pizza is always hot and the ingredients are always fresh. Pure deliciousness, yum!

Very tasty food and great service. Talked to the worker at the location on Gibson and helped me get the right amount of food. Got two very tasty deep dish pies. read more

Constant incorrect pizzas. Too expensive to keep getting the wrong food. We tried them on two occasions. Wrong both times.

I ordered three items. Cinn A Nuggs, breadsticks and a 9" lobo pizza. The picture of the "Cinn A Nuggs" show a raised dough even though the description says they use their 9 inch pizza dough. It was definitely their pizza dough. A thin, tasteless perfectly round ( almost factory like ) of under cooked pizza dough with a tasteless, thin layer of something that purports to be cinnamon sugar with some additional icing on the top. I mistakenly ordered breadsticks when I was trying to order cheese bread. Apparently, cheese on the cheese bread is an option that you have to select. This, in spite of the fact that every picture of their "breadsticks" shows a thick layer of cheese on top. Also, all of the pictures show a bread like substance, where I was presented with what was clearly a pizza dough with some kind of butter flavoring, possibly brushed on, with some sort of seasoning shaken onto the surface. And the Chicago style pizza was the final item I ordered. I've eaten Chicago style pizza in Chicago many times. I've personally made Chicago style pizza in my own kitchen. The only resemblance to Chicago style pizza was the fact that Chicago Pizza Kitchen puts their sauce on the top of the pizza. Taking a typical thin crust pizza dough and putting it in a deep dish pizza pan is no way to make a Chicago style pizza and I should have realized when I was told I could pick up my order in 15 minutes that there was no way I was getting an authentic Chicago style pizza. Chicago Pizza Kitchen uses stock photos on their website, and did not actually take photos of the food their kitchen produces. A quick search using Google confirms this with the breadsticks photo showing up on numerous sites including one that indicates the photo is a royalty free stock photo. The picture of the Cinn A Nuggs is actually a greek breakfast item called Bougatsa, and that picture is on a Greek Travel site. My recommendation would be to skip Chicago Pizza Kitchen. I paid for this food so you don't have too. read more

Absolutely horrible. Ordered chicago style asked for light cheese/ they won't deliver. I paid service fee to pick up, the gave me a crappy pizza did not follow directions and were unhelpful. They said "I don't know how to order it online so I don't know what happened". Do NOT order from here. There's a reason for the bad reviews:, read more

WOW! This place is AMAZING. The best pizza we have ever had in Albuquerque!! The pizza was so delicious and with so many combinations who could choose really, but we chose the all meat true Chicago style deep dish and the large breadsticks with cheese and bacon as toppings. Let me tell you the truth, we all decided we could easily pizza from this place twice in the same day, so that should tell you just how good it is. With so many subpar eating establishments in the SE Gibson area, it is truly nice to have an establishment that we can count on for good quality food in busy times. Thanks again for the beautiful car show out front while I waited as well. Please keep up the good quality as your pizza is awesome! read more

Not sure why the bad review. My kids and I love it. Plenty of toppings and sauce and nice buttery crispy crust.

Ordered Chicago style pizza and got a pizza with no sauce.....manager would rather argue about solution then correct the problem. Wings were very small and tiramisu was runny....no wonder it wasn't busy...not going back to this place. I'll stick with Dion's read more

Chicago Pizza Kitchen - No sauce.....dry thin meat - Italian Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I love the true Chicago style pizza!! Adam always provides excellent customer service. Thank you! Keep up the great work.

They say this is Chicago pizza. I'm from Chicago and this is NOT Chicago deep dish pan pizza. Chicago deep dish pan pizza ha a buttery crust and is thicker! Very plans and if you are calling it deep dish pizza then cheese needs to be on the bottom of the crust. Not ordering again. I would compare this to Pizza Hut. read more

We wanted to give a one bite review. It started a bit rocky, we were given a Chicago style pizza with no sauce on it... But then they totally redeemed themselves. When we were given a true Chicago style pizza it was delicious! I WILL go back! A bit pricy, but it is a very good pizza. Now I have never had a Chicago style pizza in Chicago, but this is a good pizza. I recommend! read more
