    Southside Special
    Ben L.

    So I was craving Chicago style deep dish pizza, and looking at one of my regular places, suddenly realized in a panic that my regular pizza place had closed! A quick search on yelp revealed that Windy City Pizza had good reviews so I stopped by to check it out. I got the southside pizza and it was very good with a nice blend of sauce, cheese and toppings inside. If you are looking for a whole meal of a pizza in a single slice, look no further - highly recommend! I recommend calling ahead because Chicago style pizza takes 40 minutes to make. I called it in to the Chesapeake location, and it was ready for pick up. If you do happen to eat inside, there's a lot of Chicago memorabilia decoration and I heard the owner is originally from Chicago so that's pretty cool.

    Classic tasting pizza. Thin, crispy, staying true to what a pizza should be. Cool atmosphere, awesome staff, and the rest of the menu looks awesome.

    Was craving pizza so I had to come get their delicious thin crust. My church family introduced me to Windy City and I introduced my husband to it. I had to create my own pizza due to the fact my husband doesn't eat pork. The medium was a good size & had plenty of leftovers. I got olives, mushrooms & banana peppers with pepperoni & bacon on one side and beef on the other.The pizza was fresh & tasty. My husband enjoyed it too. Definitely will be coming back for pizza night.

    Chicago style pizza.. we were excited about this but it didn't live up to it! We ordered the Deep Dish pizza (it takes 45 minutes to cook). While waiting we ordered a sampler platter (cheese planks, corn fritters and hot wings). They were mediocre, at best. Everything was like something you get in the frozen section of a grocery store. The pizza.. it was just OK. The sauce didn't taste like much, it needed something more to give it flavor. The toppings weren't anything special. The crust was pretty good. The place is decorated in all types of memorabilia representing Chicago. There was only 1 server taking care of everybody.

    We've been coming here for years, and somehow I've never reviewed it. This could be for the best though, as my early reviews lacked substantive detail or information. You come here for the pizza. That deep dish Chicago style pizza. The other pizzas do look good, and even tonight I heard some patrons commenting that their pizza was better than another local place that is known for great pizza. That being said, I've never ordered anything other than the deep dish. I've never been to Chicago, but from everything I've read, this pizza is the closest you'll come to true "Chicago" pizza outside of the Windy City. The other food is good, wings, gyros, etc. and I've sampled some of that, but I keep coming back for the pizza. It has a 45 minute cook time, so there's been a time or two I've called ahead to order it so we wouldn't be waiting. The walls are covered with all things Chicago. Bears, Cubs, Bulls, and Blackhawks are well repped. Pics of the skyline, local Chicago products help to make you feel like you're in a pizza place in the upper Midwest. The service is good, just keep in mind that it's a small family run joint. You may wait a beat or two, but they always give great and friendly service.

    Chicago style deep dish pizza and dogs

    My husband and I ordered takeout on a Thursday evening. He had just came back from a work trip in Chicago and really wanted Chicago style food so we were happy to have this so close by. Reviews online were very positive so we were optimistic. Hot dogs were okay, nothing special, but I do appreciate that they really do them Chicago style! The pizza was a bit disappointing. The cheese wasn't fully melted and we felt like they needed more sauce on top. I feel as though we may have just ordered on an "off" night since other reviews were so positive, so we may need to try again and get a thin crust pizza to try something different.

    We've been dying to try Windy City, mostly because it seems to be the only place in the 757 that has deep-dish pizza which just happens to be my husbands one true love. We made it to the Chesapeake location this past weekend with a group of friends and ordered a wide variety of their menu. First things first, ambiance and service are lacking. There seemed to be just one server on a Saturday night for the whole restaurant, which meant that we saw her at the beginning when we ordered and when she delivered our checks. Luckily, another employee from the host stand stepped in when she saw that the server was swamped. Our server definitely was trying, but there were many awkward conversations, specifically when the server complained to us about previous tips from other tables. Unprofessional and weird. Another issue was that the specials board was apparently irrelevant. We tried ordering the specials listed and the server stated "oh those aren't the specials anymore. They've been up there forever". Unprofessional and misleading, which is easily fixable. It just seemed as though no one is currently caring for the place. In addition to these few things, they still have Christmas decorations up and they have tables covered in crayons and coloring books, which just looked messy. Their music machine is apparently also broken, so the whole restaurant felt eerily silent with no music. Food-wise, it kept my review above a one-star. Because the deep-dish pizza was pretty good, we would come back but only for the pizza and only for takeout. The fries and the fried pickles were served lukewarm and mushy. The wings were pretty good and so were the mozzarella planks. Overall, like stated above.... I recommend sticking with the pizza and doing takeout because the dine-in experience was severely lacking.

    The Heart Attack
    Nicole V.

    Make sure you have time. I knew it would be longer ordering the deep dish but they didn't say how long. It was just over an hour from the time we ordered to the time it got to our table. We ordered the heart attack and it was excellent. We also got the Italian sandwich with fries. I definitely wouldn't do the fries again. They tasted like they hadn't been cooked all the way. Although the sauce for the sandwich was nice and hot, the meat was not.

    12" Deep Dish, half cheese, half jalapeño, onions, and salami
    Kaitlin A.

    Food was really good, and as for portioning, it is great on that! The salad was super big, came with a good amount of dressing as well. Their ranch is nicely homemade, and their balsamic is also nicely blended. The pizza was really nice, the marinara was flavorful, the jalapeños were spicy enough, and you could actually pick up a slice if you wanted to. I'd go back if it weren't so far.

    Deflated Chicago style pizza.  Not a typical experience.
    Brian P.

    We love Chicago style. A little disappointed in the pizza tonight but the flavor was good. My brother and sister in law come in all the time. They love this place. Apparently when the owner isn't here the kitchen staff goes wild and doesn't pay attention. Incorrect food orders. Substandard pizza. I'm leaving 4 stars because they are typically great. Just a bad night. While the cats away...

    This place is great! Will definitely come again!…read more A friend and i went on a whim, just to see, and was pleasantly surprised. I have lived in the area for a majority of my life and had never thought to go in. I am glad I finally did! The restaurant had ample seating, with tables inside and out, along with a long bar to sit. The service was great! Sean was super nice and told us all of his favorite things off of the menu. We ordered a handful of things: - A 1/4 All Beef Hot Sausage: This was my favorite item and Sean's go to on a break. We added chili and mustard and it was absolutely delicious. - A Hot Dog Dietz & Watson: Solid , but nothing to really write home about. It might just be, because it followed a sausage that good. We added chili, mustard, and a bit of onion for this one. - A Pork BBQ Sandwich: Really good! I am not the biggest BBQ fan either, but I plan to try the Chicken BBQ next time. I added coleslaw and onion for this item. I liked their coleslaw a lot, which also surprised me. The only thing I wished was added, was extra sauce. - Buffalo Chicken Sausage: Really good! This was a close second for me. It was not too spicy either. Just right, with onions, chili, and mustard. - Sweet Potato Fries and crinkle fries: I love sweet potato fries and these were good. The crinkle fries were just okay. I wish they did have some seasoning.

The smell drew me in the first time while visiting Lowe's and so glad I took a chance. A line is always a good sign that there are likely regulars and that spells something good is going on. The menu is posted on the outside and is simple fair type with burgers, sausages & cheesesteaks. The one young guy running the grille was friendly and recommended the cheesesteaks which I gotta say as a lover was suspicious. However I was willing to risk it on the off chance this food stand in a parking lot could actually deliver a fabulous steak. The price was affordable for a footling around $10 and added a bottle water and tip came to $13+ The cheesesteak was completed in around 8 minutes wrapped up and in a bag with napkins. I popped it open in the car and was amazed at the pure size and amount of meat. The smell was glorious with steam waffling above. The bread was fresh and authentic to Philly. The only thing left was a bite and it did not disappoint one bit, just wowzers! It was good enough to return prior to writing a review. It ended up being a carbon copy of my success with another incredibly delicious cheesesteak. This time I used a nearby picnic table to enjoy. This is a chain food stand. The owner has two located at Lowe's in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach on Holland Rd. If you love cheesesteaks then Dominic's delivers a masterpiece and you will not be disappointed. A 4.5 rounding up and later learned Yelp friend Terry was a super fan of their steaks which was cool. Don't forget to pick up a punch card when you buy 6 your 7th is FREE!

    What a surprise!…read more We had a quick bite here before going to the Chartway Arena for a show and my husband wanted something for lunch. It was packed, probably with people doing what we were doing, but there were several seats at the bar so we snagged three and were greeted pretty quickly by a very friendly waitress. She made recommendations at my husband's request and suggested the special which was two hotdogs with topping of your choice, half order of fries or tots and a drink. He went with that and we ordered a single cheeseburger for our toddler. Food was out quickly - probably less than 10 minutes and the burgers and fries were piping hot and very good. My husband was pleased. Their menu is much larger than I expected with tons of burgers, sandwiches, some salads and other things.
