I heard this place specializes in New Orleans style deep dish pizzas. I didn’t know such a thing existed! I know Chicago is famous for them. I’ve never really been a deep dish guy. I like thin and crispy crust. But, if that’s what this place is known for, I figured I’d give it a try.
Spacious joint with a nice bar. We decided on some buffalo wings, mozzarella sticks, and two specialty deep dish pizzas. The Uptown Meatdown and the Mr. Hughes.
& THE FOOD &
The buffalo wings were fantastic! Huge, meaty and soaked with a tasty buffalo sauce.
I’m not really a fan of mozzarella sticks, but my dining partners are. I always think of that joke:
(q) Do you want to eat 6 cheese sticks? (a) OF COURSE NOT! (q) What if I bread them, deep fry them and give you some Marinara to dip them in? (a) Yes, please.
But I gave one a try. It was very good! And I loved their Marinara dipping sauce.
I’m quite carnivorous, but I don’t like meat lovers type pizzas. All that meat makes the pizza too greasy in my opinion. But my two dining partners tonight love them, so they split a 14 inch Uptown Meatdown. They loved it! If you’re a meat lover this one won’t disappoint you. And they had plenty leftover to take home.
I had the 10 inch Mr. Hughes. One of the tastiest pizzas I’ve ever had. And after the apps, I also had leftovers. These deep dish pizzas are quite filling!
Delicious dinner here tonight. I reccomend this place!

I had always heard Chicago was famous for deep dish and NY was famous for thin crust. In 2008, I went to Newport, RI to do some Navy duty. I had never been that far north in my life. While I was up there I figured I’d do something I had never done. See a Broadway play. So I got tickets to one and rode an Amtrak train to New York. I was astounded to discover the Amtrak trains ran on the subway tracks through the city! I got off the train, went up a stairway and was smack dab in NY city! First thing I saw was a pizza parlor. Went straight in and got a slice of thin crust pizza. It was fantastic.

Quite a story!
I’m glad you had a good experience, as in such areas you can sometimes end up in a touristic restaurant, with mediocre food.
The best pizza places have coal oven, of which my favorite is Julianna in Brooklyn. https://julianaspizza.com/
