So we decided to give this place a try even after reading the reviews here after seeing ""Pizza Paradise"" on the TravelChannel. I also did a little ""googling"" and found the famous Pepe's in Chicago but for Frank, no mention of Jim.\r
\r
They won ""Best of"" in 2006. That was then and definitely not now.\r
\r
I ordered a ""Don"" for pick up, stuffed style. Of course it wasn't ready when they said it would be. After 10 minute I saw the guy pull the pie out. Then he started to scrape at it. Apparently it got a little burnt I thought but that's ok, I like ""crispies."" I got it home and it was more than crispy, it was burnt on the top and bottom! (I should have checked at the restaurant) \r
\r
I can't believe they would still sell such poor food. Might as well dropped it on the floor and put it back.\r
\r
PRO: I will have to say, the parts of the crust that weren't burnt were really good, kinda like a pie crust where there's thin layers of flakiness. The toppings/filing was average.\r
\r
Oh yeah, the pricing online doesn't match in store-it's higher in store.
Pros: Great flaky crust
Cons: Poor quality and customer service. Burnt pizza!
