“ First time I've ever been here. Growing up in GL I never even went to the original restaurant, Pasquales. My youngest and I are here visiting my dad and he wanted to try your deep dish pizza. His exact words were, "omg, best pizza I've ever had." It's saying a lot since he's very picky, lol. I'm guessing he'll be back this week. ”
“ One of the few restaurants that give the same top notch consistency with every order. We order every Friday night to support a SUPERB, local small business. I have felt comfortable to order things I normally wouldn't try and its all been fantastic. I genuinely can't recommend and compliment them enough. Looking forward to our next meals from here already. MUST TRY! ”
