In that paper wrapper was a real hot and ready pizza. It was a large with half mushroom and half pepperoni and a whole bunch of cheese yum.

It was delicious, all the ingredients came together perfectly to make a beautiful pie. I WILL get my 20 Dino coupons so I can have a free pizza, cause who doesn't love free haha. Rodney Out

The Hall was closed for a 1-2pm lunch break, and we strolled what is a truly exemplary example of a small downtown. Ignore Google Maps, and turn left from Chicago to drive under the arch for Whiting's Main Street. You won't regret it. The highlight of our time in Whiting was this brewery. Great beer options, locally owned by a truly devoted (to food, beer, and town) couple. I'm not a beer drinker, but my man is a font of information and a man of highly trained tastes in the beer arena. Really. He loved the options we sampled, and I loved my usual 1-2 sips of one of them. The lunch special (yes, there is a lunch special) looked appetizing. the events they host (Horror Movie Trivia Night just ahead of Halloween) seemed fun and community-minded. But my favorite part of this stop was our conversation with the owners. I learned more in that conversation about the intersection of small business, community, and small towns than I've learned in any other 30 minutes. The folks at Bulldog care about their business, their locals, and even random visitors from the town to the north. Don't just drive by. Stop in. Say hi. I promise, you'll be glad you did.

When my DoorDash driver arrived at the store, I was informed that another driver had already picked up my order. Apparently, the orders were not properly verified, resulting in my food being given to the wrong driver and delivered to another customer. To make matters worse, that customer apparently didn't receive the correct order either. My card was already charged, but instead of fixing the situation and getting my food to me, customer service told me they could not reorder the food. The only solution was to cancel my order and issue a refund. So l ended up with: X NO FOOD X NO replacement order X NO compensation for the inconvenience X Money tied up while I wait for the refund to process I was told the refund could take anywhere from 24 hours to up to 1-5 business days to appear back on my card. That is completely unacceptable when the customer did nothing wrong. This entire experience was a complete failure from start to finish. Orders should be checked before being handed to drivers, and when a business makes a mistake, customers should not be left hungry with their money tied up and told to simply wait for a refund. If you live in the Whiting area, I strongly recommend being very cautious about ordering from this location. There are plenty of other pizza options where you can spend your money. 1 will never order from this location again. Food: 1/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 1/5

Absolute must to visit. Pizza is A-mazing. They have a great food menu and daily specials if Pizza is not your thing. I come here one-twice a week, no joke. Cute place with full bar and back area if you come with someone under 21. Parking lot to the north and street parking. read more

Today we started with some Chicken Wings; large and meaty, we ordered them Mild but asked for xtra Hot sauce on side. Served hot from kitchen, we really enjoyed them!! A variety of meals were ordered from Pizza, Pasta, Salads and Sandwiches. Everyone liked their dishes from Buffalo Chicken Salad, Chicken Parmigiana, Grilled Chicken Sandwich, GF Pizza, more Wings plus Cheese Bread with Marinara for kids. I ordered the Italian Beef sandwich with Mozzerella, Pepperoncinis and au jus; this was flavorful dipped in Au jus, however I'd try another signature T's dish for my next meal here since I've had the best Italian Beef sandwiches in Chicago. All in all, we were glad to find T's for a family nite out that everyone could order a tasty meal. We'll come back when we pass thru again. Enjoy!

This is not always as easy as it sounds (here's looking at you, yelp that still doesn't match VEGAN correctly)! But I digress. This is about food. Or specifically, pizza, dough balls, and calzones. All of which.................happen to be vegan, with an entire dedicated vegan menu. Let's get into the food itself: dough balls: great, but the seasoning was kinda meh. It was basically pizza dough with pizza seasoning, the sauce was good! Something actually *unique* for the dough ball seasoning would have been welcome (see: difference spice options). Pizzas were perfect to me, it was a good thicker sort of crust witout being over the top. The calzone concept was cool but also a bit weird - half was entirely dough. I mean, it was good dough, but I would have settled for a slightly less enormous calzone than just excess dough. Maybe it was a coincidence. I don't know. In the end, none of that is a detractor. Overall, this is a good place to go! I know not every restaurant is fully vegan and I can live with that, but a full vegan menu with options? You have my business!
