Frankie's Chicago Style Pizza

Very cool spot! Had great reviews so stopped in for dinner with the family. We had the cheesy bread with marinara which was good. We also ordered the grilled vegetables appetizer that we enjoyed. Then my wife and daughter ordered a pizza with tomatoes, feta cheese, harissa and fennel sausage which they really enjoyed. My son is a basic pizza kid so we split a pepperoni pizza which we also enjoyed. We all liked the coal fired approach which reminded us of some of the places we enjoyed when we lived in CT (New Haven). Service is going to get its own section here in the write up because it was exceptional! We had an Asian guy (apologies I can't recall his name) who took care of us who was fantastic! Positive attitude, super upbeat and friendly. Very helpful with menu suggestions and beer suggestions as well. Very attentive, refills were timely, never had any long stretches where he disappeared (and they were PACKED). Really stayed on top of everything and provided a great experience overall. Excellent meal and experience and I highly recommend you give it a shot if you're in the area.

I was visiting for a work trip and someone from Chicago told me I had to try this pizza on my way in on the Amtrak. The pizza was so good!! They even let you do half and half pizzas, so you can try more of their delicious flavors. I went with the meatball/ricotta (#4) and the smoked chicken (#14), and it was one of the best pizzas I’ve had. The crust was perfectly crispy and the flavors were freak and complex. The service was phenomenal and they made sure my water never got below half full on a hot day in the city. I did pay $3/hr for parking, but that’s to be expected anywhere in the city. If you like quality pizza from a local company that supports their workers, this is a must try spot.

I tried the cheese slice. Tastes okay, but nothing too special. The dough is light and not too thick with a decent amount of tomato sauce and cheese. Maybe a whole pizza is better to order here because I the slices are reheated.
