Pete's Pizza — Restaurant in Lake View Township

Family ordered two pizzas to dine in. One was delivered to the table and we waited for the other. And waited. And waited. Server said it would be a few minutes. And we waited. Server came back and said the pizza would be right out. And we waited.

Server came back again and informed us that the pizza had been given to a delivery driver by mistake and they would have to cook another. And we waited. Server came back and said it would be another 10 minutes. Then she corrected herself and said it would be 12 minutes. Then a manager shuffled over and mumbled something about 5 minutes and asked if I wanted a beer. I was already on my second soda so I declined. And so we waited.

Finally after 30 minutes of waiting, the pizza was delivered. It was fine. Nothing special. If that’s the “best pizza in Chicago” like people claim, then I’m about to be sorely disappointed in my previously held expectations for Chicago pizza. Manager wandered back out after we finished eating and mumbled something else about a discount. Couldn’t quite catch it. He again asked if I wanted a beer. By that time I was just ready to leave. We got the bill and they had taken something like 25% off one of the pizzas. Whoopee. We still tipped the server 20% because it wasn’t her fault. But you’d think that a pizza place that has been business almost 70 YEARS might, you know, have some kind of system in place where they don’t give dine-in pizzas to delivery drivers. Seems reeeeeeeal basic to me. Like, the worst pizza places I’ve ever eaten at still managed to figure out how to take the pizza from the kitchen to my table. But I’m no pizza expert...

As far as atmosphere goes, during our interminable wait, we were able to enjoy Pete’s current avant-garde decor approach of paint literally peeling from the walls. Gave it a real rustic vibe...

This was our first time at Pete’s. See if you can guess if there will be a...

Petes Pizza, so, we decided to visit Petes Pizza again recently, and the place is absolutly great! Of course the pizza is absolutly delicious, just not the service. I was suspicious of the waiter since he did not write anything down, sure enough he got it wrong. We said no onions and half with pepperoni. we got it with onions and no pepperoni on either half. Everything elso we order was very good and the manager offered to get another pizza but, we were on a hurry and the pizza took a bit longer so we decline his offer. I like to recommend this place very much, we will comeback and is the waiter doesn't write anything down, I will ask him to do so. ChatGPT Sure, here is a corrected and expanded version of your text:

Pete's Pizza: A Delicious Experience with Room for Improvement

Recently, we decided to visit Pete's Pizza again, and the place is absolutely great! The pizza is, of course, absolutely delicious. However, the service left something to be desired. I became suspicious of our waiter when he didn’t write anything down. Sure enough, he got our order wrong. We specifically requested no onions and half with pepperoni, but our pizza arrived with onions and no pepperoni on either half.

Despite this mishap, everything else we ordered was very good. The manager kindly offered to make another pizza for us, but since we were in a hurry and the pizza had taken a bit longer than expected, we declined his offer.

I highly recommend this place and will definitely return. Next time, if the waiter doesn’t write anything down, I will make sure to ask him to do so to avoid...

UPDATE: I received a call today Sunday early evening from Debbie. She was very apologetic and professional. She assured me that my credit will show under my phone number, she was very kind and gave me a higher credit due to the inconvenience. Multiple neighbors order from Pete’s and have great service, therefore I hope and believe this is just something that happened during this difficult time due to being busy and understaffed. It happens. Debbie was very nice and made sure I was taken care of. Thank You!

I ordered a pizza from Pete’s through a web order. Requested to have it made well done. My pizza was not well done at all, crust was nowhere near done not to mention well done. I called, I spoke to someone and was assured I will have a credit placed under my phone number. Was told to make sure I call to be able to use the credit. Well here I am, I called Pete’s today to finally use my credit. At first the credit wasn’t found, then I guess it was — have no clue. I ordered a smaller pizza this Time with wings, at the end was told I will receive a $15 discount. Did not add up — my credit was to be for almost 25$ I was told “well we don’t see it here at all, so we are actually being nice by giving you this credit”. After explaining how this just isn’t right, I was transferred to a manager — was no longer even interested in ordering from Pete’s anymore. Manager said “ what are you talking about, we are crediting you for $15, and then it was a bunch of confusion from there after explaining the situation. At this point I just hung up, so...
