The change has altered everything I know about this place. I knew it was going down the moment they took away sliders, and soon they removed the Board. The owners have swapped again, the food tastes awful, and now they're getting replaced by something called El Gordo's, and I could not be angrier.

If there is a greater injustice in this world I do not know, I only hope that lightning strikes the man who made this change Tenfold. I wish him nothing but plague and famine, I hope he rots into the floor, and disintegrates into the nothing he shall be remembered by. If God will not take this course of action, I may be willing to commit to it myself, and find the proposer of this damnation.

There is no longer an atmosphere, only a shell of what once was there. It's merely performative, and the songs they sing are nothing but sobbing whispers, there shall be no revival. Long gone is the tile, the wallpaper, and the dozens of wonderful pictures, now there is only a dry and dreary surrounding. There is doom, and it is coming for everyone else.

The service is also abysmal now, the folks that have been hired in the place of the previous tenants are nothing short of rude, useless, pathetic vermin, that squabble for trash. They are not only mean spirited, but worthless things, robots made flesh so that they can merely take up space and waste the air around them.

Lastly, the food has been degraded to such a point I would rarely call it food anymore. Nothing is fresh anymore, it's all a homogeneous slop that fits on a plate. Nothing has color, and the only thing worth eating might be the hotdogs, which are little more than microwavable at home now. I pity the fool that enjoys this food, and I wish him damnation.

Damn this place, if it were to be I would raze it to the ground, but alas I am halted by the law. I hope the original owners, those two wonderful brothers, are happy in their own space, but I want them to know, they have only caused us agony, and the downfall of their mere empire.

Cruel cruel world, alas, face me, and see...

We just found this restaurant recently. Actually thanks to them advertising on facebook. We are from the suburbs of Chicago. We been living here for 22 yrs now. So happy now to know Chizanos is here in AZ. So far everything we ate has been amazing and delicious. Hands down so much better than other want to be like a Chicago style restauran here LOL. There hot dogs are just like a true Chicago dog should be. There Italian sausage sandwiches, pizza puffs. Yesterday we went to try their Italian Beef sandwiches. OMG the best, and the Aujus has the best taste, like back home. True spices. Just the bomb. Get their fries crispy, you will love them, way too many to eat. Now their homemade thin crust pizza. OMG is Sooooo delicious. We have been searching for a true Chicago style pizza since we have been living here. Chizanos hits a home run. Their sauce, the spices, their sausage wow just like a Chicago style pizza we grew up on and loved. Too bad it took us soooo long to find Chizanos. We wasted all these years searching for good Chicago style food. We have now found our new stopping ground for the BEST Chicago Style pizza, sandwiches, pizza puffs and check this out. They even serve RC cola products like back home. Great service. Good owners. Calling all Chicagoan's.. if you never ate here. You been missing out like like we did. Come sit or take out. They carry Beer as well. Grab a cold one, good hot dogs, sandwiches, pizza and salads, pastas so much more too. You won't regret it. Prices are amazing and the amount of food is huge. Be prepared to take some home. All we can say. We are now going to be their BEST customers now moving forward. Love the decor too. CUBS, SOX, BULLS, BEARS. makes you feel like your back home in Chicago. GO TODAY AND GIVE THEM A TRY. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. thanks so much....

I usually read the good and bad reviews on a place. Gives me a better idea of what’s going on. The good reviews seem written by family and friends of the owner or by people who don’t know good food, customer service or value. Last night I spent $62 including tip for two 16” pizzas. One vegetable and one 3-meat. The ingredients, which I paid individually for, on both pizzas were so sparse, it was like a joke, on me. In addition to the soggy thin crust, the round pizzas were sliced in squares. Half the squares had no ingredient or maybe a little speck of something. When I went to the shop today with several left over slices of both pizzas, asking where’s the ingredients, they pointed out the little bits of stuff, acting as though I was nuts. And said I was the first person ever to complain. I see several complaints on this feed about the same things. Sparse ingredients, soggy crust and poor customer service. After arguing my point with the owner and some hideous woman, they begrudgingly gave me a credit. And honestly, it’s not about the money, I happily pay for quality, but I will never use the “credit”. I’ve got no appetite for this dirty...

The food was good! My husband got a Chicago dog a slice of pizza and a pizza puff. He said the hot dog was spot on to what he get here in Chicago, he said the pizza was good not quite Chicago BUT good, no comment from him on the pizza puff he ate 1/2 of it so that's a plus. For me the fries was DELICIOUS, that is a high compliment because I LOVE french fries and that saved my day.... The spicy polish I had was definitely good and very much Chicago again those fries was good. I also had a pizza puff and sorry it was not good, no offense to yall but in my opinion the company who makes them changed the recipe some years ago and they do not taste like they did when I was younger. I tasted the pizza my husband ordered and if i had ordered extra sauce then that pizza would have gotten a chefs kiss. Per the man who took our order and brought our food to us the owner os from Chicago and has been in Arizona for over 20 years, I am so proud of that. If I Ever come back to Arizona I would def eat from here again and hope to meet the owner on day. You have done Chicago proud #Chizona......

This place is all about the consistently good food. Chizona’s pizza, their home-made ranch dressing, Chicago dogs, homemade fries, and sandwiches are ALL out of this world. Been going here for 16 years and they’ve become more and more popular. If you hit them up during extra busy times for online delivery/phone orders just know that they’re becoming so popular you *might* just have to wait for service like an adult bc they’re not going to burn someone else’s pizza to answer just bc you and the whole neighborhood got hungry and called at the same time. Sometimes you need to be patient or show up and stand in line. You WILL get the BEST FOOD at Chizona’s and you will LOVE it!

The food here is amazing! They have such a huge selection of many different meals and combos that you can choose from. My mom got the carne asada taco combo plate, my sister got the kids meal taco, and I got the grilled chicken huarache with horchata drinks. All of our meals were great portions with equally great prices. The food had the traditional flavors of authentic Mexican dishes we enjoy with lots flavor and spiciness. The vibe of the place was also great. A simple traditional small mexican restaurant. Overall, I highly recommend the food here just pay attention cause it's easy to miss!
