Max & Leo's Artisan Pizza - Chicago — Restaurant in Chicago

I don't think I've ever rated a restaurant so low in all of my travels.

We came on a very lazy and mild Sunday evening.

Upon arrival the restaurant was deserted except for another couple on the patio.

If you are looking for a good thin crust pizza this will satisfy you, and it does closely resemble the original (but just not quite as good). If you are coming to the bowling alley and happen to want pizza you will be pleasantly surprised with the taste compared to the typical bowling alley pizza.

This location is also about twice as big as the original location with significantly more seating (about 5 tables inside, 5 booths, and 10 bar seats, plus an outdoor patio with another 5...
