Fries, when asked for well done, are good but a large is $7 plus. That said, I probably should not have ordered that size. Do like the fact that they got the fountain drinks back, but the base cost of the cup is $2.99 so only get that if you're thirsty. The fizz factor is pretty good, though so I love that. The saving grace here is that the staff is always very friendly, and every interaction I had has been good. A bit of advice would be to capitalize on that great customer service and extend it to how you approach your food, because this is really not special stuff for the price.

My family has been ordering pizzas, sandwiches, and salads from here all the time. My favorite pizza is definitely the hot honey one since it has a good kick of spice with a nice sweetness from the honey; additionally, it's always nice to have a wood fired pizza that tastes so fresh. My other go to item would be the chicken caesar salad; it's always packed with a ton of chicken and parmesan cheese, so I tend to get it when I'm not craving pizza. The service is always top notch, and I love how friendly they are when we eat there or just take it to-go. I love how they have weekly deals as well on their pizzas, so it's definitely work a try! The ambiance is great since there's seating indoors and outdoors; additionally, you're right next to the Sox's stadium, so you can go eat before or after the game. You need to try the place out!

The pizza took a bit longer, but there was a warning that it might be a wait. But it was definitely worth it, the pizza was very good.

We weren't starving so this ended up being the perfect serving with most people getting 1-2.5 big slices. Our group's reactions spanned the gamut from just fine to very good. I personally loved both and especially the deep dish classic as the layer of sausage under the cheese was delicious, tomato sauce tasted very fresh, and the deep dish crush was exactly what I was looking for but maybe some in my group were looking for something else ? The cheese wasn't spectacular (didn't particularly stand out) but it was also good. Splitting this as a big group made it pretty affordable. Waitstaff was friendly and accurate as far as the wait time since these are made fresh to order. My wife had the limoncello cocktail which was quite tasty. I would come back to try the wings and the salad and other items the next time that I'm in Chicago.

We used to visit The Fiesta for many-many-many-many YEARS!…read more This year we decided to order for the Bears game (NOT THIS LOCATION but the one on 154th). It was a chicken, onion, bell pepper and mushroom pizza w/ wings. The wings were NOT good, they were the type with breading. I told my wife I forgot about that part, so NO MORE. A friend of ours texted us this week stating that she got the "jerk chicken" pizza from 47th street (THIS LOCATION). She stated that is was deeeeeellllious. So we decided to try for this week's Bears game. Well, delivery went well. While on the elevator up to my floor I read on the receipt, "1 14" Medium, Grn Pepper, Onion, Jerk Sauce and Reg Chkn" WTH...... I immediately said, "That is straight up false advertisement"!!!!.... But I also said, "I will reserve judgement until I taste the food". Well....... IT WAS NOT GOOD. It was exactly as it was typed, even though it is advertised as "Jerk Chicken Pizza". It was regular grilled chicken, with minimal/missing veggies with a jerk based sauce, no pizza/marinara sauce. Flavor wise was okay to good. But like I wrote, everything else was missing. I would NOT purchase this again. If they had simply TRULY marinated the chicken (in jerk sauce/seasoning) then possibly mix both their pizza sauce with a mixture of jerk they would DEFINITELY have something!!!... As you would reinforce the jerk in virtually every bite. This was a partial mess. Like, I wrote flavor wise it was okay, but everything else or the lack thereof, killed the pizza. Interestingly enough the veggies here were ALSO few and far between like the pizza we ordered last week from the 154th location. Absolutely no chewing contrast! Even the crust was soft mannnnn......! The Fiesta used to be the bomb, lately they have been just dropping bombs!!!... SMH. D+ to C- Gone........
