Windy City Pizza — Restaurant in Texas

This will be the MOST honest opinion ever. My husband and I visited this restuarant when he first opened, being my husband is from Chicago and to have a Chicago pizza place near us was great. When we went. There was more than one worker. The owner was in the back cooking and talking and talking and talking. Uuuh. I have been back maybe twice. The other times, I noticed that he was the only one there(employee) there were a few customers also. I got an Italian beef. The LAST time I went there, I called the order in. An Italian beef again. He said it would be 40 minutes. 😱. For those that don't know, an Italian beef is a sandwich, that's it! A SANDWICH!!!!! For whatever reason, my husband said that's fine. (?) So we decided to go in about 20 mins to see if by chance that maybe he got it done early. He was the only person in there and no customers. He said, "no it is not ready, I told you 40 mins" (a sandwich). Needless to say, we have NEVER gone back and NEVER will.

That is my review. This is my opinion: I feel that the owner is in over his head. I feel that he cannot or doesn't want to hire anyone because he can either not afford it or is trying to keep everything for himself. The food prices are very high. I know for a fact that you HAVE to spend money to make money and be successful. He is loosing several customers by trying to cut tooo many corners. You will NEVER be successful by trying to run an entire restuarant by yourself. Maybe you should have just started with a food truck. Idk. But at any rate, you will never be a hit in town if you are charging people the high prices, but giving them low quality and having people wait 40 minutes for A SANDWICH!!!!! Money is too hard to come by for the general public. Please read and take heed to your reviews or you won't last much longer. Get some damn help! If you can't afford it, then see if there is anyone that may want to volunteer their time. It sure is better than trying to do everything yourself wich is causing you to get more and more bad reviews. Once you have a bad reputation, it over. But the customers are not running you out of business.....you are!!! I hope this will help you. This is done with no malaise and is just my...

I normally don't do reviews but I need it to be known that this isn't "Chicago Food". I was born and raised in Chicago and I have never had food this bad there. My husband and I both got Italian Beef, but I got the combo which included Italian sausage. First let's speak on the smell of the food, when I opened the box I could instantly smell something wasn't right. I disregard the smell (big mistake) and decided that it could just be my smell was off. I took one bite and noticed immediately that this was not Italian beef. I opened the sandwich to find three different types of meat (if you want to call it meat), and nothing else on it which I was highly disappointed because the menu said it supposed to have sweet peppers. There was a few pieces of meat on the sandwich that looked like it could have been sliced beef, then on the bottom of that it was this mushy type of meat. Then they placed, what was supposed to be an Italian sausage in the middle of the sandwich. I made up my mind and immediately said I wasn't going to eat the sandwich and I was just going to eat the sausage. When I bit into the sausage I immediately knew it wasn't a real sausage cause the texture and taste was off. I immediately spit it out. I then examined my husband's sandwich which didn't look anything like mine, so I thought it was safe for him to eat. He then ate it and I just settled for the Lay's chips. I few hours later my husband got extremely sick and my stomach didn't feel well also. I'm extremely disappointed because I just moved to Texas and I was expecting food to be alot better that this. Please be careful...

I don’t usually care for doing reviews, but since I was hungry and my food isn’t worth eating I gotta say it. First off I didn’t read any reviews prior to ordering from the establishment. The first picture is what I was expecting which comes up with this company on google. When I seen the nice real Chicago deep dish pizza I was sold, but I ended up with the second picture below. My pizza Isn’t tasty and doesn’t look like the picture advertised🤔. Please Place a picture of your Chicago deep dish instead. What you see is what you get is what customers appreciate. Let me tell you about the Parmesan wings I ordered that smell very bad from the time I opened the lid. The grease is bad which leaves everything you cook with a bad smell like old grease. Freshly battered chicken doesn’t look or smell like my wings. I’m just offended that you served me the wings like that. My mouth was set on the picture you advertise on google. After I opened the box I thought it was a mistake but it’s a Chicago empty deep dish pizza and that’s just it. If the grease isn’t bad that means the meat is bad. I can’t take any chances with Chicken like this. Hospitals are full and the Way my wings smell I would definitely not be well if I ate them. I’m not looking for nothing free and certainly not a refund. Look at your overall reviews and make changes if you care. People are not picking on this establishment like I said before my food made me look at your reviews. If I looked at the reviews I definitely wouldn’t have ordered anything. This my 45.00 Truth for...
