Our recent visit to Old Chicago Pizza in Petaluma. Its been on my list of must trys. Last Saturday was the day, its upstairs in a building, nice little restaurant. We were greeted and seated pretty quickly. The server got us drinks as soon as we sat down. It was quaint, and clean. Friendly atmosphere. We ordered a large Italian salad to share, and a large combination pizza. The salad was fresh and it was good. I love salad. Our pizza came pretty quickly and was delicious. The crust is thick. I knew it would be. I think I prefer a thin crust. Other than my preference the pizza was delicious from the stuffed crust to the delicious toppings and the sauce was perfect, not too much not too little. Thankyou so much for the awesome lunch and great service. read more

Dropped in recently on a Saturday night (pie day - 3/14!) when nothing else in Petaluma sounded interesting. So glad we did! Short wait - but service was on point. We had the Italian salad, garlic bread, and a medium deep dish pizza. Everything was super fresh! Salad was great - their blue cheese dressing was killer! Garlic bread was so hot we'd had to wait to divide it - and had enough garlic to keep the vampires at bay. Pizza was incredible and melty cheesy delight! Come hungry! I tub that medium pizza could have fed five! Overall a delight! Do glad we stopped in - I certainly won't wait ten years before coming back! read more

Listen, this is a classic in Petaluma. Yes, it can take 30 min to get your order cooked, but it's worth it! My husband and I order a medium combination deep dish and we end up taking half of it home - pizza is still as good the next day. Don't bypass the Ranch! It's so good! Also, the salads are yummy too - good portions, sometimes i'll share my small salad. I recommend the Lisa Iskin Salad because it comes with lots of veggies. Staff is always friendly. The large windows make it a lively ambience. Parking can sometimes be tricky, especially if it's the weekend. read more

Got a small deep dish w/all the fixings. The pizza was delicious and could feed 2. They had just opened so only a few people were there. I waited about 25mins. If you can't go up those stairs to enter, there's an elevator in the walkway where the shops are at, go to 2nd floor. read more

Im not from the area, but this is the best pizza I've ever had! Also, Abril is probably the best waitress I've ever had too! read more

Came in on a Friday around 6pm. We wanted to order a pizza to go. This restaurant is up two flights of stairs and is super cute. There is a small bar area and an open dining area with about 14 tables. And looks to be an area for large groups in the back. Ordered a medium deep dish two topping Chicago style with a small Italian salad with house Italian dressing. We were told it would be a 45 minute wait so we waited at the small bar area and had a beer and a "not your father's root beer" (very dangerous choice as it tasted like a craft root beer) when our pizza was ready Karen at the register told us and got our salad ready to go. Wowowowow....the pizza...well crafted. The sauce was rich and full of flavor and the toppings were generous. The cheese was overflowing with deliciousness. The medium is definitely more than needed by two people not looking for leftovers. A small would have been sufficient. The salad (small) was plenty for two. Definitely a place we will revisit for pizza when in the Petaluma area. We could only find street parking but it was great as we found a space just around the corner. read more

If you're looking for authentic deep-dish pizza, this is the place to go! While it's a bit on the pricier side, it's absolutely worth every bite. We ordered a medium 2-topping pizza and a medium 4-topping pizza, which came out to about $31-$34 each, depending on the toppings. The portions are HUGE--each slice is super filling (basically like eating two regular slices). They're also very generous with the toppings, so if you prefer lighter toppings, be sure to let them know when ordering. The deep-dish pizza is loaded with cheese, so if you're not a fan of extra cheesy pizza, keep that in mind. The service was excellent, the ambiance was cozy, and the food was a solid 10/10. Plus, we had plenty of leftovers to enjoy later. If you're craving some quality deep-dish comfort food, I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

OK, this is a few days late. My apologies in Angelica. So my son and I had old Chicago pepperoni pizza of Petaluma for the first time a few nights ago we bought a medium, but I picked it up. It was so heavy and I thought this is not your normal traditional pizza. I got home and we opened the box. Wow amazed what an amazing pizza and old Chicago Pizza of Petaluma. They do an outstanding job making the pizza the portions, the placement, super hot the amount of the flavor and the amount of pizza sauce and cheese and pepperoni and cooked perfect As we both dug into our first slice with a knife and fork and usually I eat pizza with my hands, anyways just mouthwatering tasty After eating pulled over asked for a manager, I got Angelica. She's super nice. I told her about my experience from the time that I called in the genuine friendliness on the phone. I had a few questions being in a first time Customer placing my order was easy the quality and flavor of the food when I went to pick it up again very genuine friendliness with the cashier there was a gentleman in what I believe is a bar area and he was super helpful with the pick up. They use frustrated cheese and peppers and I shared all of this with her saying thank you in essence They just got two new customers and I told her I'd go on Yelp that night and I got sidetracked and it's been a few days but do yourself a favor. Get it to go eat it there while fresh and hot. They have a great ambience in the restaurant, you'll have a great experience. Thank you for reading read more

For our family, this is the most exquisite pizzeria we've ever visited. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. The pizza is top-notch. The historic building adds to its charm. Be sure to visit Old Chicago's if you're in the Petaluma area. read more

The pizza is one of the best I've had for a deep dish Chicago style; the flavors are the best! Had pepperoni with mushrooms and garlic. The crust is awesome to eat if you enjoy have fresh bread. One slice was generously filling. The cheese is REAL cheese that strings along. This restaurant is on the second floor of a historic building. This was my second time here from maybe 10 years ago-I'm glad the food is still high quality just like I had tasted before. read more

Waited almost an hour for two mini pizzas (we ordered at 1:50pm, food came at 2:38pm) and they still got our order wrong.

This is more than a pizza, it a full meal in one slice. They pack on the toppings and they weigh a lot.

Fantastic pizza, you only need a slice or two, salad was excellent and the ambiance was as nostalgic as can be. Service was great, very friendly and attentive. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

Located on the top floor above the Christmas shop, there were about 4 other tables when we arrived on a Monday night. We were debating on which size pizza to get and whether we wanted to grab any drinks or sides. The beers they had on tap were just IPAs , which didn't really intrigue me at that time. We ended up ordering 2 sangrias ($8/ per pint size over ice). We are both fans of sangria and surprisingly this one was pretty good. It was the Beso Del Sol Red Sangria topped with an orange slice. It is a tad on the sweeter side, but sangrias are usually sweeter anyways, plus the ice helped tone it down a little bit. I would order this again, and I even went online to see where you could purchase it and it seems like it is very limited just a few places :/ For the food, we ended getting a medium deep dish pizza with mushrooms, bell peppers, onion and sausage ($31.35). We were considering a small earlier but since we got sangrias we figured why not get a bigger pizza. The server did try to get us to consider getting an appetizer or salad since the deep dish was going to take 25 minutes but we were okay with just sipping on our drinks and waiting. When the pizza arrived we were ready to dig in! Before I could take a photo of the full pizza, the server already took the pizza server tool to help place our pizza slice on a plate. On the table there were the standard red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. She asked if we wanted any ranch on the side which I opted for. The side of Ranch was not listed on their menu so when she offered it I did not know they even had it. When the bill came, I did notice they charge $1 for each side of ranch so FYI there. The pizza was overflowing with all the toppings (I can see why they say try to limit to less toppings on their menu). When the server placed the slice on the plate, the cheese was being pulled all over, the sign of a good deep dish pizza. The pizza felt light and heavy at the same time. The toppings with the cheese made it heavy, but the pizza dough was lighter. The crust had the crunch but not so hard that it was difficult to bite down on. I may opt for one less topping next time in hopes of getting more mushroom on it :) Overall, we enjoyed our drinks and food and would definitely come back and dine again. This pizza joint is definitely a chill place to just come by and have a slice of pizza after a long day. Parking wasn't too difficult to find on a Monday, but unsure how it would be on other days. read more

I was worried the deep dish would be too overpowered by sauce/cheese but it was the perfect amount. Located in the middle of downtown so be prepared for a wait, but there's tons to do around while you wait. As for portion, one slice of the large deep dish was just right for me and I wasn't overly full. read more

Old Chicago Pizza - THE BEST!!! - Pizza Near Me - Petaluma, California

Disclaimer: I'm not someone who likes deep dish pizza and my only experience with it is Zachary's and a famous pizza place in Chicago (sorry, I can't remember the name). Summary: I'd bring friends here. I recommend this place. Anyway with that said, I enjoyed my food. We ordered a garlic bread and a large deep dish - half Hawaiian (Canadian ham and pineapples) and the other half with bell pepper, mushrooms, olives, lots of pepperoni. I did not like the Hawaiian side - pineapples were good but what I did not like is the lack of meat (maybe my slice didn't have enough or it was probably just drowning from sauce) and over saturation of sauce. Overall, I did not think the pineapple was a good topping for that pizza. I didn't bother finishing that slice. On the other hand, I enjoyed the other half. For some reason, I did not have that over saturation of sauce issue. It was rather perfect! I could taste all the toppings and there was good amount of meat. Oh and did I mention already, that pizza was oozing mozzarella. Another issue that ruined the experience a little bit is the knife - mine was dull. So I had difficulty cutting my slice. It was difficult enough that my friend mentioned it to me at the end how he saw me struggling. (Note: I did not tell him about the knife, I thought I could work with it without looking helpless.) The garlic bread, I'd order it again. Soft and moist bread. Enough garlic. Warm. I would eat it with pasta. I had to control myself from eating it otherwise I would have been full by the time the pizza came. Our server is great! Sadly, I did not get her name. The only thing I'd recommend for all servers if this is not the practice already - is to inform especially new timers, as we informed her as our case, they charge for sauces like ranch, blue cheese, etc. Had I known that was the case, I would have informed her I don't need one. In fact we did not even finish one container, since I don't use ranch. Such a waste. A teabag is $3.50?! That's insane! Common! They offer beers and wine both white and red. The place is located on the second floor. Stairs are right outside Fantasia boutique. You won't miss the access to the stairs as it's by the walkway. I would describe the place as diner type of place - good for families. Relaxed vibe. read more

Old chicago has the best deep dish in the bay area! I've tried a few other locations and will say without hesitation that this is the best. My friend and I came in on a Thursday evening. It was a bit busy, but we were quickly seated. We ordered a side salad (not pictured) and deep dish cheese pizza. We also got a few sides of ranch for our pizza. The salad came out pretty quickly and the vegetables tasted fresh and crispy. There was nothing special about the salad but it was a good appetizer for the cheesy pizza. The pizzas here take longer to bake, so don't come in expecting it to be ready right away. The tables have a holder for the pizza and there is a candle in the center to keep your pizza warm. The waitress serves you your first slice which is very sweet. Everything about the pizzas here is delicious! The crust is super flaky and not too thick. I've never had the crust here be undercooked or over cooked which deep dish is more prone to. The sauce is very flavorful and I find that it's slightly more chunky than at other places which i love. The cheese is stretchy, melty, and abundant. Their ranch tastes like it's made in house and pairs very well with the pizza! I definitely recommend stopping by! read more

Our go to place for a rich hearty pizza. If you like pizza with a heaping amount of cheese and toppings, this is your place. The wedge salad was awesome with lots of blue cheese crumbles. We tried the pesto sauce on our pizza and were not disappointed. read more

Ordered a deep dish pizza with pepperoni, sausage and mushroom along with a large salad. Veggies in the salad were very fresh. Excellent. Deep dish pizza was YUMMY!!! Portions were very generous. Small deep dish with 3 toppings and large salad left is completely stuffed. We ordered takeout since the restaurant was closing in 20 minutes. Service was friendly. We'd return if we find ourselves back in Petaluma in the future. read more

One of my favorite places to eat when in town. I had the pizza delivered this time to my hotel. Pizza was delivered piping hot. I was surprised how good it was even delivered. Only negative to say was no plates cheese or peppers were delivered with the pizza. This might have been my fault as I didn't specify on my on line order. read more

This place will make you weep tears of happiness. The Pizza is so delicious, so filling. My wife and I had a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza and a small salad because we had to make sure we had room in our stomachs for the pizza. I so wish that this place shipped in California, but sadly they don't. Give them your business! read more

I've actually been to Chicago and tried two random pizzerias in downtown Chicago, but none of them were even in great comparison to the pizza I had here in Petaluma!! Sad story, but true! I've always heard about how amazing "Chicago pizza" is and I love sauce, but both places I went to while in Chicago we're kind of bland. Maybe they switched chefs or something?! Anyways, this place was freaking amazing!! The server was incredibly friendly and helpful since I couldn't Decide what I wanted and I was able to change my order to make my half of the pizza a different version of the vegetarian since my boyfriend wanted a combo pizza with all the meat. Lol. The ambience is very dark and reminded me of an old fashion speakeasy, but I really liked the atmosphere. Everybody seem to be laughing and having a great time! I really like the old Timey windows and how old-fashioned the building itself is also!! I did find the restrooms down the hall, a bit scary, since the hallway reminded me of that one scene out of the shining, but my boyfriend walked with me just in case. Lol I've seen too many late-night movies! I will definitely be going back here again And I could only eat two pieces and I felt stuffed!! I believe we got a medium and took the rest home and I ate the other pieces over the next three days but one piece is good enough as a meal!! At least for me! Hee read more

Best deep dish pizza in Petaluma. I said it! Second would be hands down Acre Pizza. The crust, sauce and cheese just makes this truly a different pizza. The service was slow. We had to wait 30-35 minutes to get our food. But for me it was worth the wait because i was able to enjoy their Sangria. We arrived around 630pm on a Friday night so it was packed. Ambience was loud. Came here for the food and it was perfect. read more

Food was very mediocre and the wait was long. My husband loved their pizza but I really don't like thick doughy pizzas so it might just be my problem. Service was alright. read more

Had an early lunch with my son, and this place is just as phenomenal as the last time I was here, which was several years ago. I need to come here WAY MORE OFTEN!! A huge large size, 4 topping deep dish pizza, 2 fountain drinks, a small order of garlic bread and a Sierra Nevada for me, with tip, was $80. Considering that a few months ago, my son and I had lunch at a popular sushi restaurant in Rohnert Park that cost in the low-mid $70, I think Old Chicago is a WAY BETTER VALUE. We also had half the pizza left over for tasty meals later! Nothing to take home from the sushi place. We'll be back soon!!! read more

We just moved here from Austin Texas. It is my husband's favorite pizza spot. It is definitely a commitment since the deep dish is no joke. I suggest going when you were hungry or bring many friends. I usually eat one piece when I go. It's delicious and definitely something I enjoy a couple times a year. Anything more and it would be too heavy! read more

We ordered to go, but our waitress we paid with was kind. It's definitely a super cute place for date night, it is a little small so I could see it getting full on the weekend. The pizza was enjoyable, not an exact Chicago pizza replica but good. I just don't think it was worth $50 for one pizza unfortunately but it's a cool one time thing. read more

We've been coming here for many, many years-OCP is hands down the best pizza I've ever had!! We actually crave it, it's that good and like nothing you've had anywhere else. They are very generous with their toppings so it's worth every penny. My only wish is that they would deliver. read more

Old Chicago has always been our family favorite pizza place in Sonoma County..(been going for more than 30 years) especially for its deep dish. However, recently the dough has changed. It is no longer chewy and yeasty like before. The crust has been dry and not as flavorful. Not sure what changed, but it wasn't for the better. Please guys, whatever you changed with the dough over the last year or so, change it back. read more

I've eaten at Old Chicago numerous times over the years. And since I'm from Sonoma County and don't have other choices, I am definitely happy to get my Chicago style pizza here. In fact, it's likely one of my favorite style pizzas. That said I only gave Old Chicago 4 stars because they miss a few of my favorite elements of a good chicago style pizza. First, yep, they are generous with cheese and ingredients. But next time I go I will ask for more sauce!! I really love a good chunky up front sauce. And second, I love Zachary's spinach and mushroom pizza. And for years I've gone into Old Chicago really hoping they will add spinach and mushrooms as topping choices... then I wouldn't ever have to go any where else. But no, no favorite toppings. So, will I keep going to Old Chicago, sure... But please Old Chicago, add spinach and mushrooms to your list!! read more

Went here last night with my GF. I had been here many years ago, for some good deep dish pizza. Happy to know the quality is still great. The ambiance was full of couples and families. Its a great spot for a nice casual date. The place is lightly themed with an old school Chicago vibe. Nothing overwhelming. Which is good. For an appetizer we got the garlic loaf which was surprisingly toasted just to our liking and very soft on the inside. It was delicious. Our deep dish pizza was pepperoni and red onion. Just a heads up it does take 25min-30min for the pizza to be ready, but it is well worth the wait. You can taste the high quality ingredients as well. I love that flavor in every variation of deep dish they have here. Waiters were polite and kind. They checked in often and did their job, so no complaints there. Will definitely come back again! read more
