Chicago Connection

Great menu. I am slowly eating my way through the menu and never had a bad meal. It’s a must try.

This is a place that seems a lot like someone described Chicago-​style pizza to someone else and they made a restaurant based on the description. Actually, I’ll go one better. Totino’s used to have a frozen deep dish years and years ago, where the toppings would fall below the top of the crust. This is more like that… even in flavor a bit.
Apparently, andouille sausage is a bit trend up here and this is another place that had it, but this one was not as good as what Smoky Mountain has. It’s not bad, but it is missing a note. Pizza itself was ok; nothing too notable one way or the other. I expected more, I guess, foolishly perhaps… the beer I had was also very malty and tasted borderline infected. Homebrewers will know what I mean there.
Also had the toasted/​baked ravioli, which were somehow burned. It has some sort of cheese-​ish, cheesefood maybe?, blend in here, which sounded good enough to try once but I would never get into again. Service was slow and mostly absent… all in all, the 3 is probably a gift, but nothing was outright bad… just both of us have had worlds better and if a dessert case full of commercial candy bars like Kit Kats and Snickers (I wish I were kidding) doesn’t bear that out, nothing will…

Pizza, football & family make for a great Sunday evening. However, I was really disappointed with my experience at this Chicago Connection last night. We called in our pizza order thirty minutes in advance and had to repeat the order a few different times. When we arrived to pick it up only one of the two pizzas was ready so I asked the employee if I could add on a family size salad. He told me that they only had one size but several questions later he admitted that he was a new employee and he should probably go double check. He came back with good news that they do in fact have a large salad container. The restaurant was pretty dead but it was clear that they were understaffed for a pizza & football Sunday (especially considering that the nice young man helping me was new and had little experience). I was given a salad container to build a salad while we waited on the 2^nd pizza. The salad at the bar was nearly gone and what was left was floating in water… Soggy salad? No thanks! After a 20 minute wait and reminding them at least 4 different times someone finally refilled the salad. The dine in customer that didn’t want to wait drip dried her lettuce while complaining.
We finally got home to a house full of starving adults and children and a game that had already started. I was two bites in until I realized that they didn’t even get my order correct. My FAVORITE pizza is the combination with white creamy garlic sauce NOT red sauce. I can’t eat red sauce because it’s too acidic. Unfortunately they used the wrong sauce even though we specified which sauce three different times when placing our order. Apparently they specialize in delivery and next time I will go back to my usual location in Meridian.

So incredibly disappointed to order a pizza at 8:30ish and wait forever for it. Only to find out they thought it was for pick up when the conversation stated clearly we were at our hotel. My husband went to pick it up and because it was so close to closing time, they left and we have no pizza … 11p local time here and hubby is returning with McDonald’s. ugh just awful. But hubby would like to stay a little longer than planned in the morning to thank you personally.

I want to start by saying, I love their pizza but hadn’t eaten it for a good 5 years. This is why I stopped in on a Friday. Here’s the break down of my order, medium lasagne pie, 3 sodas, 3 salad bar add-​ons. The bill came to $ 50. When I inquired about this seeming excessive, she informed me they are now adding 18% gratuity to the bills. Yep, $ 50 for a family of three. We cancelled the order and left.

This location was clean and the staff very friendly. My wife and i tried this place for the first and last time. The food looks great but lacks any flavor. With so many options for pizza, i won’t eat here again.

3 of us at work decided to try something different, so this was to be it. We ordered 2 Philly sandwiches, and 1 ham & cheese.
Not only was the person on the phone rude (obviously hates his job and dislikes his customers), but the food was inedible.
$ 30 for 3 sandwiches that are burnt, with very little meat… and a little bag of crappy chips & cookies.
Not worth it.

This is more of a 3.5 star :)
Clean! 2 tv’s with the World Cup!
Friendly service good at refills!
Had a special where we ordered two large pizzas for medium price. Decent prices!
Hawaiian yummy!
Combo very good!
Nice deep dish crust!
Group of 8 and they put two tables together for us!
Lobby was practically empty.

This is a passable restaurant where you can go sit down for lunch. I like Chicago pizza and appreciate what this place is doing to try and bring it to Idaho, its just not working very well.
The pizza was a plain deep dish pie that was good while I was there but very forgettable.

I don’t think I could ever give Chicago Connection a bad review. My only wish is they were located in Seattle. The pizza is literally my favorite pizza and whenever I go to Idaho this is one of my first stops. I even make my boyfriend bring this pizza home if I can’t make it to Boise. Great pizza, great service, and I actually really want some now…

I was very impressed with the customer service at this location. I’ve always been a fan of Chicago Connection so I decided to call them when we were at Roaring Springs and needed dinner. I called this location and told them where I was and that I wanted the pizza delivered to my van in the parking lot. Not only did they bring the pizza right to my car they brought with them paper plates, plastic utensils and cups even though I never asked for those items. They just knew we would need those things and brought them. This is customer service. I was very impressed and the pizza was very good as usual.

I came to Chicago Connection to celebrate my nephew’s 15^th birthday party. We made reservations and were able to get the back room, which is nice for larger parties. As far as pizza goes, it’s not bad. I will say that everyone raved about the Buffalo Chicken pizza. I, however, LOVED the garlic cheese bread. If you like cheese, I’ve been told that Chicago Connection is the place to go. I cannot disagree, especially where the cheese bread is concerned.

I saw the Chicago Connection signs and delivery trucks all over Meridian, so I thought I’d give them a try.
Food taste like Pizza Hut — greasy, fatening — and price was steep.
There are dozens of pizza places in town, and while they deliver, I don’t believe I’ll try Chicago Connection again.
