As a native of Chicago, I think that Papa Del's pizza captures the spirit of Chicago Style pizza, although it is not the best pizza ever. I eat the pizza here often and it has always been very satisfying. However, the service and appearance of the restaurant are subpar at best. Of course, the pizza is no where near as... more
