Once upon a time when I was in Chicago, I fell in love with the infamous deep dish pizza. Nostalgia overtook me, and I decided to try this joint in Hamilton that's been there for as long as I could remember. I pre-ordered the Chicago Special over the phone at 4:30 pm with a pickup time of 6:30 pm. That should give them more than enough time to cook the pizza. They told me that a deep dish pizza needs 30 minutes to cook. When I went to pick up the pizza, a staff member told me it's almost ready and asked me to pay. A few minutes later, I heard my name being called. She told me that they made a mistake and served my pizza to a table. I could see she was upset about the error. She was so kind and said they would remake another one for me on the house and that I could also keep the pizza that was for the other table. That, to me, was ultimate customer service along with the repeated apologies. The 2 deep dish pizzas were definitely deep, like the ones i tried in Chicago. They were filled with tomato sauce, so if you love your tomatoes, you would be in heaven. I look forward to my next order. read more

Delicious deep dish - large filled us 3 adults Had our first deep dish ever in Chicago Sept 2023 - this place was so Much better! Highly recommended read more

I came here with my husband after a long day of hiking Hamilton waterfalls. We were SO hungry and this place truly did not disappoint!!! Of course, we wanted to try their most famous dish (the Chicago style deep dish pizza). We were told it takes 40min to prepare, so we decided to order their Ravioli, and were pleasantly surprised! I really wasn't expecting such a amazing pasta dish from a pizza place! We ordered the spiced meat filled ravioli in their famous homemade meat sauce. Must try! 5/5 For the deep dish pizza, we ordered a small stuffed pizza (deep dish) with bacon and pepperoni. At first, we thought that it would not be enough food, but boy were we wrong... The "small" pizza was actually HUGE! It came with 6 giant slices, each with a thickness of 3-4 regular slices stacked! I was stuffed just by eating a single slice! You can easily share this amongst 4-6 people. The pizza was cooked to perfection with gooey, stringy pull apart cheese, and filled with meat. Absolutely delicious, but in moderation. I personally thought it was a bit too filling to eat more than a single slice (since it felt like eating an entire brick of cheese). Great for sharing though. 4/5. read more

Nonsense. STAFF was rude, said would not take any more pizza orders for an hour as busy. When I called back and asked why they could not just then take my oder for pickup in and hour and half - just said no. Boy, you dont want business, must be rolling in the money. Ill never order here or recommend it. read more

This place does great Chicago-style (deep dish) pizza. I wanted to have "no self respect" but my dining companion had self respect so we went for the Chicago Special. They told us the expected wait time before we paid, which most places don't do, so that was nice. The pizza was really good. It was appropriately gooey, with delicious Italian sausage. Cheese & sauce were both generous & the sauce was unusually tasty. The crust & edges had a nice crunch & the crust was (almost) strong enough to support the massive weight of everything on top. About the only downside was that the pizza was so tasty, I ate it too quickly and burnt my tongue, but that's on me, not the pizza! read more

There were some sodas but they didn't have fountain style. Did not have Pepsi or Coke. Beer were ialao not available on tap either. Ordered 2 bowls of Italian wedding soup. Small serving and pricey at $6.00 per bowl. Ordered a small deep dish pizza with base price of about $29.00 and it was $1.75 each for the pepperoni topping and mushrooms. $4.00 for Italian sausage. Service was not very friendly and we found out on the menu it will take 30 minutes for the pizza to be baked and brought to the table. The deep dish pizza was good, the cheese was plentiful and stringy. Sausage had a delicious flavor to it and the pepperoni was standard. The sauce and flavor of the pizza overall was quite bland. The crust and depth of the dish was about 4" deep and was a little tricky to cut with their knives. The atmosphere was not very inviting and lights were more of a yellow hue. Also having a single door system wasn't too good because it made the room cool and the room temperature was already lower than most restaurants. Overall, it was a pretty good pizza and service. Would go if no other chicago style pizza was around but definitely had a couple pies that were winners by far. read more

Why do people eat this?! Given the reviews, I thought I must have received a dud, tried again and it was just as bad. Pillsbury dough stuffed with cheap mozzarella, smothered in canned sugar-pasta sauce. The parts made worse when summed up. read more

This is a cute shop. A lot smaller inside then I expected. I got there early right when they opened to avoid the lineup. Staff was super friendly. And seats were comfortable. We ordered the fried ravioli. That was good. I didn't get a picture because we were so hungry I ate it before the camera ate first. And we ordered the combo bread. This was very tasty not to salt just right. We also ordered the fettuccine alfredo, this was probably my favourite..Super creamy and just the right consistency. I added 2 sides of meatballs. Very good. Meatballs had a lot of flavour and add the right amount of salt for the pasta. And last but least we ordered the deep dish small No self respect which was stuffed with LOTS of cheese and lots of meat! It was super cheese and good but a little on the salty side for myself. Overall I rate this place a 5 because I think it was really good and worth the trip. read more

When several "best of Hamilton restaurants" all pointed to this modest location, I was a little dubious, but the garlic-heavy sauce on both pizza and pasta is top notch. Stuffed pizza is the real draw, but locals seem to like the traditional and thick crust ones for dine in and take out. Popular place with no reservations can mean a frustrating wait, but ordering your pizza while you wait for your seat is a recommended work-around. Wish the tiny soft drinks at least had refills (and no plastic straw and half ice), but the pizza is so good that I'd overlook these faults. For a hungry group of 4, a small stuffed pizza, large salad and large linguini with the meat sauce was the perfect meal. read more

Chicago Style Pizza - Mediterranean salad (Greek for most of is), large size great for sharing among 4 people. - Pizza Near Me - Hamilton, Ontario

This place makes a mean deep dish pizza. 1 slice is equal to 3-4 regular slices. They do both take out and eat in.

Some of the best eggplant parmigiana I have ever had! I want to try their Chicago style pizza next! The prices are reasonable too.

Wanted to update this as our recent visits have been better. With that, we have to consider our first visit as an outlier. Pizza is good. We can see why this place has so many 5 star ratings, so please visit and check them out for yourself. read more

I love this place! The pizza is great and the service is kind. Please check out my other review

OMG! First time having deep dish pizza and I was definitely not disappointed. My party and I arrived at 5pm on a Saturday evening and the line was almost out the door! We were seated at 6pm but was very glad that we were able to order the deep dish pizza in advance, as it normally takes around 30-45 minutes to make anyway. When we sat down at 6pm, the pizza came out shortly afterwards and we were able to order other items on the menu. We opted for a large caesar salad and a large chicken alfredo penne pasta; for dessert, we had the tiramisu. The deep dish pizza was out of this world !! We only opted for pepperoni as a topping but felt that it was enough, as the pizza was so incredibly dense. The amount of cheese in the pizza was no joke... if you're lactose sensitive like I am, be sure to take some digestive enzymes! The caesar salad was fresh, and the tiramisu was delicious as well. The only let down of the evening was the pasta, as we felt that it was way too saucy and salty. Service was surprisingly pleasant, considering the number of diners and people waiting for their tables. read more

Great pizza every-time we have visited. Brought my family last time they visited and we had a great time. Good food.

Best pizza in Hamilton hands down!!! Go ahead and prove me wrong. I've gone to several mediocre so called best in town pizza joints yet I've been disappointed. This place is in fact the best in this country.... Period! read more

My husband and I tried this place the other night and really enjoyed our food. We were very hungry and ordered the appetizer platter, but should have saved our appetite for the pizza. Our custom stuffed pizza's hot peppers kicked up the spice! Great flavors, nice service. I could do without TVs in my dining experience but for some people it might help pass the wait time. We left with 2 big slices. The toaster oven reheat the next day didn't do it justice - try to eat it while it's fresh! Looking forward to ordering a different pizza next time - yum! read more

Chicago Style Pizza - Stuffed pizza! Regular Topping Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Hamilton, Ontario

How could I not try a place called Chicago Pizza??! I am very happy I chose this to be one of the few places I went during my trip in Ontario!! The pizza was definitely some of the best I've had, and I have had some good pizza from NYC. The pizza crust was THICK with 3 C's!! The cheese pull was never ending. I enjoyed every bite of that pizza!! On top of that it was only $22 USD. The only thing is that the pizza took 30 mins to cook, which is on the menu(my fault). I wish it was a little bigger, only came with 4 slices. If im back in Ontario, definitely going back there!!! read more

This place is a glutton's dream. I think that if you were a huge deep dish pizza fan you would love it but for me I found the pizza just okay. The dough is quite nice and I really like the toppings however I found the pizza a bit too heavy handed. Its a super hot Hamilton spot though so be prepared to wait up to an hour or more at peak times to get in. Hot tip: while you wait, order your pizza so you can eat it right away when you get a table. They keep them fresh for you and they take a really long time to make so this will prevent you from getting hangry as you wait at a table for your food. read more

Absolutely fantastic place for that Chicago style deep dish pizza. this is a new account unfortunately due to this site losing my last account so pics are unavailable. i have been to Chicago a few times and this place takes me back. Ok! Even better. The meat lovers version is my fav. I get a large and when i get to Etobicoke from Hamilton its is still steamy hot. We did one sit down visit and busy isn't the word. But that tells you alot. Service was great and very friendly. This is definitely a go to on my list. read more

Went here at 4:15ish. Right after they open (they open 4:00). Because i did not wanted to wait the line. Anyway we ordered chicago pizza and cream fettuccine chicken pasta. The food came out super fast. I was wondering the pizza was actually cooked well. The pasta. It was not even warm. It was cold that i could even see the fat that is divided from cream. Also i could tell that if was came right out from the can. It was just horrible. Disappointing. Pizza. I came all the way from Toronto to have this. And it was undercooked. I was a cook at pizza place so i could tell that it was undercook. It was disappointing Restaurant read more

Definitely worth a try, was my first Chicago style pizza experience. For some reason the leftovers taste even better than when fresh!

Picked up order #130003 of a large Vongole & small vongole and caesar salad. The pasta could have been been primo $1 a can sauce with a small portion of a can of clams, although my small portion only had 1/2 a clam. It was accompanied by a sub bun which has to be minimum of 3-4 days old, judging by the sound when hit on the table. Costs have increased exponentially while quality has drastically decreased. It seriously would have been more flavourful to boil some pasta with a jar or sauce! Horrible food and value! read more

I've been here 3 times and it's always a delight coming back to this spot. My guest & I ordered the small Deep Dish w/ sun dried tomatoes & mushrooms. Expect a food baby . Things to remember: Arrive early in case there is a line up. The restaurant is pretty small and fills up quick. Usually there is a line up before it opens, so try calling in to find out if you can put yourself on a list Getting the small deep dish pizza is enough between 2-3 people. No need to add too many toppings since it's already packed with a lot of cheese and sauce read more

Sat. June 10th. for dinner, had italian soup, ravioli and meatballs, black forest cheese cake for dessert. Took home a 8 slice pizza to try the next day. Food was fabulous, large portions, nice and hot and service was spot on. Aleesha did a great job. Highly recommend . Stay away from Barbara Cafe in stoney creek, unless you want high prices, very small portions and lousy service. read more

Gave this place a one star because there is no negative 5 to give it. Saw this on the show you should eat here and I thought it would be worth the drive from Toronto. We waited about 40 minutes for a table since the restaurant is extremely, small probably seats about 40 people max. Let's just say this was an oversized McCain pizza pocket. The sauce tastes store bought(but the bad kind that goes on clearance) with a large dash of Heinz ketchup. I've had Ragu sauce that tastes better than this. Pepperoni in pizza was awful. Quality of the toppings was poor. We also ordered a veal parm to share. The sauce again was horrible the spaghetti came out cold. I would never return. On another note: the staff is friendly, the place is clean and modern. read more

Shared a small (6 slices) meaty (i forget the name now) stuffed pizza with the bf. Had to wait about 5-10min to be seated at around 6pm on a Saturday and another 40 min after we ordered. Well worth it!!! So much cheese and meat in the pie.... The bf can barely finish his 3 slices. I was dying after one and a half and had to take the last slice to go (had it for brunch the next day, still delicious as ever). If you ever drop by Hamilton, you should come here. read more

A neighbour told us about this place a while ago but we kept forgetting about it as we would have had to drive there. She tipped us off on the new delivery potential. They increased their delivery area!!! Now we are within the delivery area in the lower city of Hamilton. This is now the ONLY pizza permitted to cross our threshold, as per the boss. In our first ever order we just ordered two medium pizzas, thought it was a bit pricey but... Enough for the two of us for a meal with little if any left over, from any other place. These two pizzas fed us for two and a half days! That's three meals a day for a total of seven meals for two. Each topping of the pizza covers the entire surface, not just a few scattered pieces, with five toppings it becomes very heavy! They were also quite thick! On delivery we have been told as long as 1 1/2 hours and it shows up far faster, just over half an hour often. read more

So I called in and asked for a "Deep Dish Pizza" was advised to order the "Stuffed" pizza as this apparently was their best seller. Paid $38 after tax for this thing, was not even an inch deep, was not cut symmetrically as if a small child attempted to make even slices (pic below of this pathetic attempt of a quality pizza). All I ended up with was a large slop of dough, tomato sauce and cheese (no other toppings for $38 LOL). Hands down the worst pizza that I have ever had both presentation wise and taste and it cost and arm and a leg. Called in and the manager / owner was argumentative and taking zero responsibility for the poor quality product that his restaurant put out. Needless to say will never go back and you can order a way better pizza at any chain for one fourth the price. read more

My son saw this place featured on 'You Gotta Eat Here' and wanted to try the stuffed (deep dish) pizza so I relented and we want over to check it out. The place wasn't packed but we had to wait 10 minutes to get a table. Once seated it did take 30 minutes for them to make the pizza, but they let us know from the start. I was actually aware of that so I had brought things for my kid to read and watch in case he got bored. It was well worth the wait, but stuffed pizza (ours had pepperoni, ham and bacon inside) was amazing! The staff was very friendly, it was quiet and a nice place to hang out. I enjoyed coming to Chicago Style Pizza and will not hesitate to visit again. The food was amazing and even the little guy loved it! Recommended if you want some amazing homemade pizza! read more

Whenever I am down in Hamilton, I try and make an effort to get a deep dish pizza here. Finding a good deep dish pizza in Canada has been tough for me but this place certainly has not let me down. I usually get the basic deep dish pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms and green peppers. You have to wait quite a bit for the pizza (30-45 mins) but this is just part of the magical process that creates this work of food art. The end result is a deep dish pizza with a crispy crust, a generous amount of toppings, and an amazing taste. I've eaten in and taken out from here as well. The dining area and atmosphere is clean and comfortable and the service is great too. Overall, this place is excellent and is doing the Chicago-style deep dish pizza justice. read more

Best Italian in town the Anti Pasto salad is my absolute favourite and the fried ravioli is amazing!

So this was the famous Hamilton Chicago style pizza place that was featured on tv .... Well I thought I would give it a try ! I have had Chicago pizza before ...Real Chicago pizza in Chigao and i can honestly say after ordering it here it was pretty good . Actually I can say that it was just as good and I probably couldn't or wouldn't be able to tell the difference if I was in Hamilton or Chicago ! The service was friendly a little slow but friendly the place is very small so you could be waiting a while to get seated but we didn't have that problem ! The ONLY issue I had was my wife ordered pasta and they upcharged $6 to make the sauce Rose Yes $6 for rose sauce ! I mean it's not the money to be honest i trust think that's a little crazy to mix a little white sauce in with red when most places never upcharge or if they do it's like $1-$2 not $6 And the waitress should have said yes we do rose but just so you know they charge $6 .. But like I said it's not the money even though it sounds like that's my complaint ! It's not it's the fact that it should be written on the menu or wait ideas should let you know ! ANYWAYS...other then that little upcharge The place is nice and cute and the food is good ! If your in Hamilton try them out ! read more
