East of Chicago Pizza

Had the BBQ chicken pizza with pineapple. My new all-​time favorite! If you haven’t tried it, I suggest you do.

Wife said their taco pizza was excellent. So we called and ordered one for delivery. Should be 40 – 45 minutes they said. An hour later, I call back to check. They should be here any minute. Sure enough, about two minutes later they were here. I won’t be ordering delivery with that kind of unreliability again. The pizza was ok though for what it was. Taco pizza, I’ve learned, is not my kind of thing – nothing again them though.

This place really disappointed me. I haven’t had their pizza in years and I had a BOGO coupon so I thought I would try it again. I always liked their pizza when I had it before.
So I went online to check out their menu. I found the menu but they had no prices at all on there. They also didn’t have online ordering but that wasn’t too big of a deal. Delivery took about 50 minutes which was a little slow but not too bad.
My wife loves the taco pizza so we ordered that and a 1-​topping pizza (sausage). I know that 1-​topping pizzas are not packed with a ton of flavor but I was disappointed because it was just mediocre. The taco pizza was good, but I’m a more traditional pizza guy so I wasn’t too excited about that. My wife had no complaints.
When I think of pizza chains, I used to think of East of Chicago as one of my favorites, but after my recent experience, I think it just falls somewhere in the middle.

Sorry folks but this pizza in too much crust and not enough of anything else, including flavor! If they were trying for Chicago style deep dish, they missed by a mile. Skip this one.
