Another South side dive bar for the best deep dish pizza in the city.
Service is slow, place is dirty, but oh-my the pizza. Expect 45 minute to 2 hour (weekend) wait for your pie. Not for the faint of heart or the easily annoyed.
They do offer takeout. Call when they open at 5:00 for a 6:30 pie and prepare to still wait a little when you show up on time.
Yes, it is worth it!

Unique adult & kid’s playground/funhouse? Hard to describe, you must visit it to get it. If you are young at heart and can crawl, climb and slide this is your place. Great reviews like “freaking awesome”, “bananas”, “coolest places ever”, “bring knee pads”, “no way to describe it”. Only negative is if you can’t tolerate children, go in the evening, because during the day it is crawling with exuberant children 6 – 60.
