Deep Dish Pizza - Chicago Style
"Best in the West"

Pizz'A Chicago: A Slice of the Windy City in San Jose Pizz'A Chicago brings authentic deep-dish goodness to the heart of San Jose, and it doesn't disappoint. On my visit, I opted for a small deep dish pizza and a calzone, which turned out to be more than enough for two people. The star of the show was undoubtedly the deep dish pizza. True to Chicago style, it was a hefty, satisfying pie with a perfectly crisp crust and generous layers of cheese and toppings. Each bite was a delicious reminder of why Chicago-style pizza has such a devoted following. The calzone, while overshadowed by its deep-dish counterpart, was still a solid offering. Stuffed full and well-executed, it would be a great option for those looking for something slightly less indulgent than the deep dish. What really sets Pizz'A Chicago apart is its atmosphere. The restaurant nails the sporty, Chicago-esque vibe, making you feel like you've been transported to a neighborhood joint in the Windy City. It's the perfect backdrop for enjoying their hearty, authentic pizzas. The staff are just as helpful with really standing by their pizza as something we did not want to miss. Portion sizes here are no joke - our small deep dish and calzone easily could have fed three. It's a great value, especially if you're a fan of leftovers. Whether you're a Chicago native craving a taste of home or a Bay Area local looking to expand your pizza horizons, Pizz'A Chicago delivers a genuine deep-dish experience. Just come hungry and be prepared for some seriously satisfying pizza.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ & CYO Calzone

How can you not enter this place when right outside, the smell of delicious pizza is wafting through the air! Immediately upon entering, you're greeted by temptation... er, I mean a dessert fridge. To the left is the to-go counter and the right, indoor seating. Outside seating is also available. The food is SO good! Easily a new spot that I'd return to over and over again. This is one of those, "You know what I'm craving today?" Type of places. MY RANCH LOVERS! This place has that good-good ranch! As a certified sauce boss, this ranch passes the test, and then some. The house salad is light and delicious, a general amount for two hungry people, 3 semi-hungry people, and 4 people trying to pace themselves. The honey mustard dressing is also pretty bomb. Looks freshly made too! The jalapeño poppers have a delicious parm breading on them, served on a bed of lettuce and a generous bowl of ranch. For any of those 90s kids that grew up with Chuck E Cheeses and had that older recipe breadsticks... those delicious thangs! Yeah, these jalapeño poppers had a similar flavor to that which made them nostalgic too! The pizza itself was very delicious! Red Sox have a lovely garlicky flavor with the tomatoes (sun dried & regular). The Sears Tower was also good! I probably would get another one the next time around. Their red sauce was delicious as well! If you get a medium or large pizza you can get 2 different pizzas in one pie. As our dope waiter put it, couple's don't have to argue! The vibe is really cool, trying to tie in the essence of Chicago mixed with some Hawaiian vibes; they have artists like Rebelution playing, with that slow, mellow vibe. Our server Eric, greeted us wearing an "Aloha" hat! Super nice, attentive, and quick with our needs throughout the night. He even asked if I wanted ice in my water which most people don't and it felt like an extra attentive detail that shows his work ethic. He also hooked us up with some habanero chili flakes & habanero chili oil. For you spice lovers, ask about them. He also has some Tabasco scorpion pepper which has its own kick but I don't think the flavor is as good as the flakes and oil. Ugh, the cherry on top is that they give you a proper side of ranch to go with your leftovers. None of that tiny 2oz crap. It was at least a 4oz. Overall -- a must try! They definitely use the secret recipe of love in their food. Can't wait to go back.
