This being my first time eating a deep-dish pizza., I knew what to expect, but I didn't expect to devour three-quarters of a whole pie.
This would not have been possible without Little Star Pizza.
Dishing out what some Yelpers claim to be "the best deep dish on the West Coast," Little Star's been doing it for the past seven years. With three locations, it's no wonder the joint has locals and tourists alike coming back. The intimate, dim-lit dining room, freckled with red-glass candles gives this place a versatile ambiance sure to match any occasion.
"It's a good night out for a date, a good place to bring your family, or even if you just wanted to come by for a beer at the bar," said manager Michael Foley, who's been with the company since day one. "We host just about everybody."
At the table, my friend and I couldn't decide between the deep-dish original (Bell peppers,ground sausage,mushrooms,onions) or the Little Star (ricotta, feta, spinach, garlic). Our server recommended the Little Star with sausage for "the best of both worlds." Good call.
The corn-meal crust had just the right amount of crunch to go besides tons of melted cheese, juicy pork sausage, and stewed tomatoes. (Note: there is gluten in the corn meal crust). Though most praised for their deep dish, Little Star also puts out thin crust.
Though they don't source their ingredients locally, they do pride themselves on their simple menu which ensures that the elements of your pizza are always fresh.
The restaurant hosts good, reasonably priced local beers by the bottle and on tap. Simple selection of Italian reds and whites to accompany your pie.
And with a juke box loaded with anything from A Tribe Called Quest to The Policethis place already has me "wrapped around it's finger."
