I read the menu online and the "Chicago - style stuffed pizza with thick crust" was all I could think about. Having experienced this in Chicago at places like Gino's and Uno's, my expectations were high. Panjo's came through with flying colors.

We got the Maui Jo's Hawaiian and OMG they made it great. They started our visit off right with the friendliest staff who really pay attention to the customers. Even though this is counter service, the guy listened to our questions and fully engaged in answering them, not just providing lip service you might get at a chain store. He explained that it takes about 45 minutes to cook, because it has "pounds" more ingredients than the thin crust equivalents.

While waiting, we pondered this explanation, and came to an agreement that it probably does weigh "pounds more.". It did take about 45 minutes, and it was so stuffed and heavy it definitely weighs "pounds more." It was very reminiscent of stuffed Chicago Style pizza, and very delicious. Panjo's was recommended to me by a local, and now I too am a fan! If you're contemplating whether to get a Large or a Giant, the large is probably enough, but the Giant is only about $3 more so it seems like the better deal.
