Really disappointed... I wouldn't eat here based on my experience with the Chicago Deep Dish.
I was coworking locally and wanted to watch the Man Utd game that kicked off at 2pm local time. A quick Google search showed a 4.9-star rating, and it was only a 5-minute walk away. Perfect. The server was friendly and seated me upstairs with my own screen, (although at any other time it wouldn't be a great experience with the two pool tables taking up the entire floor space) even helping me get the game on. However, the seats were extremely uncomfortable—so uncomfortable that I think that’s why there are extra cushions, as the springs seem to have worn out. Adding a second cushion didn’t help. The whole place looked old and in need of a makeover.
Seeing that they offered a Deep Dish pizza, I was interested, especially since I’d just returned from a week in Chicago where I’d tried around seven deep dishes (I ran the marathon, so the carbs were needed). Even after all that, I was still craving more. I was told the pizza would take an hour, which was fine with me. It arrived a little after the hour, and my first impression was that there was a lot of sauce, but I figured the flavor and ratio were what mattered.
After just two bites, I found myself picking out the so-called "Italian Sausage," which was really just chunks of pork mince that didn’t taste great. But I was hungry, so I tried to get through it—eating the crust, navigating the thick and overly sweet sauce, and attempting (unsuccessfully) to find some cheese. The sauce tasted like a cheap, jarred pasta sauce from my uni days. When the server asked if everything was okay, I told her that the pork didn’t taste right and that the sauce wasn’t to my taste. I planned to take it with me and give it to someone in need, as I hate wasting food. But ultimately, it wasn’t worth it, and I left it behind as I started to feel sick.
The final straw was the bathroom. It didn’t lock, and it looked like something from a truck stop, complete with cut-out women pasted on the wall. And the memes? Sure, I have a sense of humor, but some of them were just out of place. This isn’t a comedy club, and the patrons aren’t here to read controversial jokes. For example, a meme reading "If a person from Niger is called..." was way out of line and I can see people finding it offensive.
In hindsight, I should have known better than to eat here, but I had left my lunch at home in a rush, and the craving for deep dish won. I deeply regret this decision. If you look through my reviews, you’ll see I usually have nothing but love for the places I...
Read moreI was so looking forward to having a Chicago style stuffed pizza at Americana Sports Bar as pictures look great and despite a couple negative reviews most were positive. We knew the pizza would take a while, on the menu it says 30-45 minutes and we were okay when the waitress told us an hour so we had cold beers and good onion rings to start. An hour and 20 minutes later we were excited when the pizza's arrived, but from the first bite we immediately told the waitress, who was great that it was raw and it needs to be cooked some more. 20 minutes later when it was broight back it was still undercooked. The side and bottom dough was perfect, but the layers on top of the bottom crust was severly undercooked; btw, it was not crowded either when we initially ordered. I asked the waitress if the owner could come down from the kitchen as I saw him go up there earlier. After asking again I was told he is on an important phone call and cannot come down but I can leave my contact info for him to get back to me and they would take 25% off the bill...really? I told the waitress that it would be best for the owner to come down and see the problem for himself that we live here full time and are not just in town for the week and it's really not good for his business. Finally he came down and nonchalantly approached us. After being polite about the matter and explaining the situation and showing him the raw dough with my fingers his response was "well if you were from Chicago ( which I had told him I lived previously and it wasn't my first stuffed Pizza) you would have ordered the Chicago pie with sausage and you can pay what you want because I don't need the money"
So don't go for their Chicago stuffed pizza. All I was hoping for is for the owner to come down, introduce himself, understand there was an issue, and address it properly with an apology as opposed to his snooty attitude. We entered at 6:30 with excitement and left hungry at 9pm.
BTW, after posting this on Facebook I received an interesting response from his girlfriend the general manager who many people had said they too received the same nasty and completely opposite to their experience response after they too had a bad experience there and tried to post a...

Do not be fooled by the rating here, the bar offers free drinks for 5 star reviews....
I have lived in PV since 2018 and this place is by far the worst I've gone to! The food is absolutely appalling, none of us could stomach eating it after being starving all day.
We will never be back, but on the plus side we found an all you can eat sushi and Korean BBQ right next door!
WELL TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE LIKE THIS FROM THE OWNER IS OUTRAGEOUS! YOU CLEARLY HAVE ME MISTAKEN FOR ANOTHER PARTY, AS I WAS THERE WITH MY WIFE AND ORDERED YOUR SLIDERS AND ORDERED YOUR RIBS AND AN ORDER OF ONION RINGS. WITH A BEER EACH... YOUR BEER WAS PISS WARM, YOUR FOOD TASTED LIKE ABSOLUTE GARBAGE AND WAY OVER COOKED WHILE YOUR WAITRESS STAYED BEHIND THE BAR WITH HER CHILD AND OFFERED NOTHING.
MAYBE BEFORE REACTING LIKE A MORON YOU SHOULD ADDRESS THE ACTUAL COMPLAINT...
EVERYONE SHOULD AVOID THIS ESTABLISHMENT, THERE ARE PLENTY OF BETTER BARS IN TOWN WITH GOOD FOOD AND...
