It was four of us and we got a lot of different food but the winner was probably my wife's Reuben sandwich and the French onion soup. The beef almost tasted smoked, it was so good. The French onion soup was perfect. The flavor, the melty cheese, and the onions, all baked in the signature lionhead bowl. The presentation was impressive. Anyway, I would definitely be back when we're in town. We had no leftovers. 5/5

The crust is a little different though, not as buttery, not as Pieish, but overall the deep dish here is less saucy and holds together much firmer. Nevertheless still quite good. You just can't find this style down in Los Angeles where I'm from. Quick Rating Pizza: 7.45/10 Ambiance: 8/10 really chill, if I lived locally, I'd dive in every now and then. Price: reasonable Service: 9/10 everyone here is pretty chill Glad I stopped in tonight to catch part of the 2025 Dodgers v Blue Jays World Series Game 7.

After a particularly hard class my friend Dan and I would drown our sorrows in the Pub with shirley temples and philly cheesesteaks. Everyone sleeps on the food, it's so cheap and SOOOOO good and it always hits the spot. Perfect bar food, and I literally always get the fried pierogies and I've never looked back!!! Also 2 corn dogs for $5 is CRAZY (though according to my friend they've raised prices rip) but still yummy and hot!!!!! The staff and Victor are SO awesome and have been doing it for years!!!! Please show them lots of love!!!
