That crispy, slightly burnt caramelized cheese ring crust adds a smoky flavor you won't get elsewhere. Our server was an absolute gem and was so nice to talk to. I have been to both locations and this one is my favorite. This is the original location and it has such a cozy vibe. I love that this location is in a converted house, it's so cool! Anytime I'm in Chicago, this is a perfect spot. Pequods is just a good time all around. No matter what you get you will be happy! I can't wait to come back, this place is outstanding!

This certainly was an interesting experience. A friend of mine had told me that this place felt…read morelike going to a restaurant in a house, which really confused me. When we got there I saw that he was exactly right. This is right in the middle of a residential area and these people who can just open their front door and walk a few steps to some Pizza are living the dream. The building is pretty small for the amount of people that they squeeze in there. But they were extremely accommodating with us and squeezing in some extra people at our table, which was much appreciated. We had a reservation, which was 100% the right move for how busy this place gets. I had done some research on what their pizza was like so I wasn't surprised when I saw the crust, which some people might think is burnt but it is not. Instead it is caramelized. It was definitely interesting and unlike other versions of Chicago Deep Dish I have tried. The sauce was also quite good. If I'm being 100% honest, this wasn't my favorite Deep Dish I had while in Chicago but it was definitely in the top contenders.

Wow! I can't state with enough enthusiasm how great the pizza is at Lefty's. We stopped in on…read moreSaturday before heading to the Skokie Theatre to see A Streetcar Named Desire. Lefty's has a very small dining room with limited seating (during the warmer months they offer al fresco dining) and a counter running along the main window for additional seating. In this instance seating and interior are secondary to the superb quality of the pizza. We started with a Sketchbook IPA and Peroni beer on draft. They were brought to the table in chilled glasses with a nice head of foam. The beers were presented in glasses with the beer names etched on each of the glasses. Outstanding presentation! For our entree we ordered a 16 inch thin crust pizza with sausage, green peppers, and mushrooms. When it came to the table it was hot and bursting with a sweet aroma and bouquet of colors. The pizza was topped with green, red, and yellow peppers, mushrooms, and chunks of fresh sausage. The sauce was sweet and plentiful and was amply covered with generous portions of melted mozzarella cheese. The pizza was hot and the blended flavors of the combined ingredients were superb. Finally, an establishment that values the quality of ingredients and consistently delivers. Lefty's is one of the very best thin crust pizza's on the north shore. "Pizza is [Lefty's] love language, and [they are ] fluent in it". Bravo!

The sauce paired with it was the real standout--full of flavor and the perfect complement to the dish. As for the main event, the pizza arrived piping hot and fresh from the oven. The crust had that perfect Neapolitan char, and the toppings were top-tier. It is rare to find a spot where both the starters and the pizza hit it out of the park, but Napolita nailed it. Great atmosphere, even better food. I can't wait to come back!

Also, they accept any payment except for checks. Do people even bring their checkbooks into restaurants these days? lol. You can dine inside or outside. I believe they have a heated patio outside. We dined inside, it was a shame that we couldn't sit at the booth where Anthony Bourdain's picture is. It was occupied. We ordered cheese curds and a medium sized pizza. For toppings, we chose sausage, mushrooms, and fresh garlic. This is not deep dish pizza, I would say it's more of a pan style. It's not heavy like at Gino's East or Giordano's. It has that famous caramelized crust and that airy dough. The toppings were super fresh. We immediately tasted the garlic. Burt's own special blend of the sausage tasted homemade. If you dine in, they cut it for you. If you take it home, you should already have a pizza cutter in your kitchen. Don't be lazy, it's very inexpensive. The cheese curds were generous and very tasty. They're like bite size mozzarella sticks. Service was great and attentive. Prices were cheap.

We dined out on the patio, enjoying a nice summer breeze and letting the kids mess with the chalk wall as they were less patient waiting. Pizza is definitely worth the wait, which is not as long as other deep dish places. Fresh brews on tap, casual and nice for conversations. My only complaint would be the chairs are not comfortable to sit in for long, and were not wide enough for my mid-size hips. And sometimes outside we got wafts of cigarette smoke. Still, it's a great spot not to be missed. It changed our minds on deep dish!

Driver arrived promptly with not only our food but an additional pizza. Driver tells me the owner (Lenny) remembered our conversation from 5 years ago regarding the Grandmas pie not being the same as years past in not a good way. Let me know then the recipe changed causing a change in the dough so stopped ordering this specific pizza. He sent the pizza for me/us to try again as the recipe has been changed back to before and it was absolutely fantastic!! Will definitely get back to ordering on a regular basis. Talk about knowing your customers and excellent customer service. Will continue to always be a customer. Please support a great local business that knows its customers. Than you Lenny for the pizza!
