The deep dish Pizza was really good. Almost like Chicago's. The sauce was just a little runny but still very enjoyable. We had 4 adults that really enjoyed it. We will be back. The pizza weighed about 8 pounds with 4 toppings, sausage, green peppers, onions and sliced mushrooms! We will be back again! Great job! read more

Listen, it ain't fine dining but you ain't getting anything more Chicago authentic than this. You've tried every type of Asian and Mexican joint in the area. Get a deep dish or Italian beef. Service is 100 Chicago and what else are you looking for, for a pizza that ain't some fancy ass middle of the road expensive AF Mediterranean whatever. This is Chicago pizza baby. Try it. Order ahead, cuz this takes time too cook because it's as deep as Lake Michigan. Little Caesar's got nothing on this. read more

Chicago's Pizza Kitchen is tucked away kind of and is not really easy to see or get to if you are unfamiliar with the area. The best thing to do is to get your coordinates through GPS in order to get to the restaurant. Our experience with the pizza was good. It was solid, tasty and enjoyable. No issues with that at all. We got the Six Corners Pizza which has red sauce, mozzarella, sausage, ham, pepperoni, mushrooms and green pepper. The pizza was quite good and we got a 12" thin sliced pizza. We were thinking of getting a deep crust but was told for that order it would be 45 minutes to have it made so instead we went in the direction of the thin crust. While the service was good some unusual stuff was going on. The door was wide open but the sign was still switched to "off" or closed. The business was operating but not with a full staff as we were told and with what a sign said. Another customer mentioned this to them and it sounded like the sign was deliberately switched to "closed". I imagine so less customers would come in but it didn't deter many. By the time we left the sign was switched to "open". So all of that was unusual but other than that it was a good experience. read more

ordered to pick up. We got a tavern thin crust and a deep dish again. Both got the six corners. They were accommodating with the in-laws wanting to remove mushrooms add onions on their thin crust. All of it was fresh and tasted great. One of the best parts is the deep dish reheats really well too. read more

Great food and service! The wait staff is extremely friendly. Everything is made fresh,

We were nearby for a baseball showcase and found this place on yelp. We have been craving deep dish pizza since our Chicago trip a year ago. It did not disappoint! We were new to try the Quad, with all meat, we also got a traditional Chicago with pepperoni. My husbands favorite was the all meat but the Chicago put me in a cheese and sauce coma! The place is a little hidden and very limited seating. We were the only group dining in, everyone else that came were carrying out. I believe the owners were the ones waiting on us. They were so sweet. Come HUNGRY leave HAPPY! read more

This was the worst pizza I have ever ordered. I was not edible. I order pineapple and ham and got a plain cheese. The other was sausage mushroom and olive, it was soggy and greasy. The employees were rude when I went to pick up the order. I was so disappointed because I had waited for sometime to try this restaurant. My review is over priced with under performance. It gets 0 stars read more

Great food. We had the meatballs to start. I got a Chicago dog. Just like you get in Chicago. My son had his first Chicago dog. He loved it. Then we had a Quad pan pizza. The Magnificent Mile. It was awesome. They even gave my son a free Chi dog since it was his birthday. Good service as well. It's sort of a small place but that's not a complaint. Definitely going back. I live about 30 miles away but it's worth it. read more

Very nice waitress in a weirdly hidden restaurant off the main road. It's very mom and pop, unfortunately with gnats and flies, but the whole point is the food, right? She told us they import all the meats from Chicago so, if true, that's pretty unique. The deep dish was good - nothing to write home about honestly. While we've had better, it's good to know we don't necessarily have to travel to Seattle for deep dish if we don't want to. The meatballs were very tasty (maybe IL just does them better?) and had no weird hard bits, which annoys me with most ground meat. Overall, I'd return. read more

Dave and Lisa are a genuinely sweet couple serving up some serious pizza magic. This was my first-ever Chicago-style pie, and it absolutely delivered. The cheese pull was basically endless, and the crust was spot on -- crispy on the outside, chewy in the center, and seasoned just right so the salt balanced perfectly with the pizza. With a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old in tow, we appreciated the coloring papers and crayons during the longer cook time (which is completely worth the wait). The kids loved it, we loved it, and the whole experience felt welcoming from start to finish. You can tell Dave and Lisa genuinely enjoy what they do, and Lisa's sense of humor makes it even more fun. So glad we came in -- we'll be back. read more

Off the beaten path, but a gem & well worth it. Overpriced? A little bit, but if you're looking for the authentic Chicago dog, Italian beef, or deep dish pizza this is the best place in the south puget sound. It's not Al's beef, Tony's, Portillo's, or Giordano's yet, but they are giving it a great try & always open to a typical Chicago opinion.. lol Tasty, fresh, and great service with a smile. The smile doesn't come in Chicago, so that's a bonus.. give it a try. read more

Chicago's Pizza Kitchen - Italian beef.. juicy & delicious - Hot Dogs Near Me - University Place, Washington

We were in Chicago last weekend and didn't have time to get a Chicago dog or an Italian beef sandwich. I decided to search for a Chicago style restaurant near Tacoma and found this gem! We tried the Chicago chi-dawg, the Cub (Italian beef), and The Quad deep dish, pan-style pizza. The hotdog was classic and perfect. The beef sandwich with the Giardiniera relish was dynamite. But the star of the show was the pizza. Great ratio of sauce, cheese and toppings; and that burnt cheese pan crust was fantastic. The service was fast and friendly. The owner came out and told us about how he adopted his favorite recipes from all the places he loved and worked at when he lived in Chicago. It was a great experience, we'll definitely be going back! read more

My wife and I had been wanting to try this place for quite a while now. We finally had a chance to order take out a couple of weeks ago. We ordered a supreme Chicago's deep dish style pizza and a flatbread Hawaiian style pizza. Those two large pizzas cost $90 after tax. The pizza was quite disappointing, especially for the price. I understand food costs are expensive all around these days, but that price was outrageous and we were extremely disappointed at the quality of pizza. read more

Pizza was delicious but a little cool. But tasted great. Service was good to. Plan to get carryout again soon

The service was wonderful the lady was kind and very helpful. I was blown away by the sauce it was perfect. The deep dish was delicious and I can't wait to come back! My boyfriend got the thin pizza where he said it was ok. Honestly I think the deep dish is worth the calories and wait! read more

Let's start with the Chicago style hot dog. They advertise Vienna Beef but that's not what you're getting. The hotdog had no snap and the same gross doughy texture that you get with your typical budget brands found at places like Walmart. Onions were chopped way too coarse, the pickle was mushy and they forgot to put on the sport peppers. Now the Italian beef was a little better, a salty grey pile of sliced beef, served lukewarm over a brat bun instead of a French roll. Both items were way overpriced and nothing more than what you could slap together from a small trip to the grocery store. If I wasn't from Chicago maybe I'd be less critical, but there's absolutely no effort here. Now the deep dish pizza I thought was okay, up until I tasted the sausage. Again, cheap pork filler that all has that same weird flavor and heavily processed consistency. You'd know what I meant if you've ever had the sausage from Papa John's. Same garbage. Not the Italian fennel sausage that belongs on such a pizza. If you avoid the sausage, I'd rate the pizza 6/10, but nothing else I had was worth getting. read more

Solid Chicago style pizza. Only note is that the chest was moderately soggy. Still good though and will definitely go back.

After living in Chicago, definitely got excited to try a restaurant with this name! Heard about it and finally gave it a try. First off, FINDING the storefront can be tricky. Just know that you gotta FOLLOW THE SIGNS cuz it's in the back of the building. Parking is limited, and a little dicey maneuvering in out, but it's doable. Gotta say, opening the box and seeing that high pizza crust brought back some great memories of Chi Town. It's definitely NOT Giordano's mile-high crust that requires a knife AND fork to cut into that 'pie', nor does it have UNO's signature sauce, but it IS full of that something special that screams CHICAGO. I appreciated the effort. Felt the filling was very simple....i think I expected a little more - oomph! that a true Chicago deep dish carries. But overall, a nice surprise. read more

First off, I do not understand the raved reviews. If you like Chucke-Cheese style foods, then this is your place! My husband and I went out with a friend to this establishment and overall, the food was not the best. For appetizers, we ordered the wings, Chi dog, and a salad. I can't believe how much they charged us for each appetizer--especially the salad. It's NOT worth the money. Do not order any appetizers there. If you like wet, soggy, undercooked, out of the freezer wings, then by all means ruin your appetite. It was god awful. I love wings and that was a huge disappointment. The salad came straight out of a bag. Ranch dressing and blue cheese was absolute shit. Nothing was made from scratch except for the pizza, maybe? The Chi dog was meh. The only good flavor it came with was the hot peppers, otherwise the beef dog was definitely a Hebrew national, nothing special. For our mains, we ordered the meat lovers deep dish for the friend and I and a small vegetarian for my husband. There was barely any meat in the meat lovers. The sausage tasted like old freezer-burned meat? Idk it had old meat flavor. My husband liked his pizza but didn't think it was spectacular and thought the cheese could be more melty? The service from our waitress was great and the overall vibe was warm, friendly, and inviting. That's why I'm giving them 2 stars. I do not recommend eating here and I'm so sad that this was our first Chicago food experience. Never again. read more

Ordered the pan style with mushrooms and got a free thin crust, we had a coupon. The pan was good, the cheese is good, but the crust was to thick or overcooked (was hoping for a fluffy softer crust). I don't know if the thin crust was made earlier, but we were disappointed. Or maybe because it was free! We are not from this area, and we went right before closings. GPS leads you to front of address, but couldnt see business, looked unsafe if I was alone, but you have to drive around. Female employee was very nice, place was clean and smelled great. read more

This place is a little off the beaten path and can be a bit tricky to find, but if you're familiar with University Place, you should have no trouble. Once you get there, it's absolutely worth it. The pizza is incredible... rich, cheesy, and full of authentic Chicago flavor. From the crust to the sauce, definitely a must-visit for pizza lovers, I recommend adding garlic ;) read more

Honestly such a great experience. Pet friendly and the staff were so pleasant and nice. Wife and I got a deep dish, quad and a polish. All of which were amazing. I couldn't have been more pleased. I definitely believe I have found my new pizza joint. I will definitely be back. Thank you both for the experience read more

the pizza was horrible and didn't match the value. I paid $50 for a medium pizza and a hotdog. it was suppose to be bacon ranch but was mostly cheese. Also it like they have one size box for all the pizzas which make the size deceptive. The guy behind the counter had horrible customer service. the crust for the pizza was burnt. I will never go back. the inside felt stuffy and was empty. read more

I'm originally from Chicago, but I'm visiting my daughter in Tacoma. We decided to try this Chicago's Pizza Kitchen, and I am SOOO glad we did. We chose to have them deliver, because the delivery price was so reasonable. The pizza arrived quickly and very hot. The pizzas (we chose 2 different kinds) was FANTASTIC! So much cheese! So much flavor. This is truly one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The delivery person was very personable. I'm positive my daughter will order from this restaurant again! I'll insist on it the next time I come to visit! read more

Chicagoan came to the NW and brought a great flavor with him. The cheese is awesome and the sausage is great! I met owner Dave and he assured me that everything is from Chicagoan! As a previous Chicagoan I think it's great. It's definitely worth the price. Our 9 inch deep dish was ample for us and we had a big appetite. Next time trying the thin crust Nice little sitting area too! We ordered online and the website messaged us when it was ready to pick up! read more

The shop is tucked away in the back of the building, but don't worry! It's worth it! Excellent food! The deep dish was cooked thoroughly and the spaghetti and meatballs are kindergartener approved! Just fair warning, deep dish pizza takes a bit to cook all the way through, so it's a little wait, but so worth! Service was wonderful, and the restaurant is fairly quiet. Absolutely WAY better than the Spanaway location. 10/10! read more

Paid $30 for a not so fresh pizza. Tasted like the dough was frozen, toppings were not fresh. Disappointed. Service was good though.

Wow!! My family grew up in Chicago and our pizza standards are quite high. The pizza at Chicago Pizza Kitchen was amazing! The crust was crispy and golden, the cheese-pull was perfect and the balance between sauce and toppings was fantastic. We ordered To-Go and received texts in real time that kept us updated. Good pizza takes time to create, but with that in mind, the pizza was delivered quickly and still piping hot. We will definitely be ordering regularly. Thank you so much! read more
