Met another family group of 4 on a busy Saturday evening period and whilst we had to wait for our table due to straggling diners (and in a busy front of house section), from there food and service was attentive and prompt. Our server in particular had a few busy tables on her plate never missed a beat with ours and seemed not with others too. Plenty of pizza options in Chicago and this is one of the classics i will revisit.
