Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom

This place was amazing! The staff were really friendly and polite and the food was great, I’ll definitely be going back here! They went out of their way for us and I loved it!

Ok, look, dude. Why mess up what’s good, man?
The thin pizza is no longer an option. There is some «ale» crust that isn’t as good. *grrr* like, not even ½ as good and they don’t even cut it up in squares anymore. *angry bird eyebrows*
The «Italian grinder» pizza was made wrong (i think) because instead of a red sauce, it was roasted garlic completely covering the bottom of the pizza. Like they used the roasted garlic as a sauce. It’s in the «red sauce» category of pizzas. It should have tomato sauce, not garlic as it’s sauce. It was horrrrrrible. Ben ate it though, because he is like Mikey. But nope, that shit was not right. *angry bird eyebrows*
So now I’m pizzed (pissed?) that these motherfuckers have messed up two of my favorites on the menu.
The wings were good, so at least they haven’t messed that up. *angry bird eyebrows*

I ordered a deep dish Chicago style pizza, and one regular crust pizza. Both were okay. Nothing Chicago about it, really. It wasn’t bad pizza; but it wasn’t all that either. I also ordered fries, and literally like 15 fries were on the platter… My husband And I were not too impressed.

We came here due to traffic on 75. Best decision to take a break from traffic. Appetizer items were amazing. There take on nachos was awesome. Very great atmosphere and very clean. We will be back.

I’ve been here a couple of times and each time the service was great. The food is always fresh and worth the wait (even if the house is packed!). The staff is always willing to check in on your table for refills and requests. My favorite is the Chicago 7 deep dish. The individual pizza is the perfect portion for one. They have a great menu selection + a throw back menu for specialties that are not always available. Sports bar atmosphere with TV hung on every wall, but still not crazy loud for couples who just want to dine out. It’s located at Mockingbird Station which has great shopping in the area.

Pizza was mediocre at best, service was terrible and when the manager was made aware his response was to assure us that it wasn’t his fault. Wrong pizza, had to get our own drinks from the bar even though they were ordered from the waitress, and bad attitudes. Won’t be going back.

Alright I think we’re officially done with this place. There’s only a few good servers and one recently moved to the Fort Worth location. One guy is consistently rude to us and tonight we ordered drinks & then never saw our server again. A nice girl got us our check then the manager, Adam, dropped it off, announcing it was just one beer, then ran the check and said nothing else to us even though I know he knew we were angry.
this place is worth it sometimes lol

Food is amazing. Pizza is the main reason I like coming here. Chicago thick of course. It can get pretty busy on the weekends and it’s actually a pretty cool spot to hang out with friends. I also see a lot of big groups of people celebrating different events there a lot.

This location has been a revolving door for restaurants and not sure why? Decided to check out the latest lease holder and was not disappointed. I’m not a big fan of Chicago deep dish pizza so my expectations going in were fairly low. We ordered the pepperoni rolls for an appetizer (good choice) and then had a small deep dish split — one side Italian grinder and the other Hawaiian. I was VERY pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. Nice and crispy crust without a whole lot of «dough» in the center. They really have it down right. Maybe I haven’t had the «real» deal before. I would definitely recommend this place and hope they can finally establish a great pizza place in a good location. Check them out!

I ordered the margherita pizza which was a decent portion size and decently tasting for bar restaurant food. The pizza was a little but on the greasier side, but tasted fresh and was nicely seasoned.

I always enjoy coming here. The service is wonderful and the Texas beer selection is great.

We came here at a friend’s suggestion to meet up for pizza and beer. My favorite part about this place was definitely their beer selection and the atmosphere. Our server was very attentive and fun! We were allowed four tastings of different drinks on the beer menu each before choosing something to order, which I thought was awesome and much better than ordering a flight. I ended up getting a Tall Revolver Blood and Honey and the glass was huge! If you’re only stopping in for a bit I would recommend the pint because it took me the entire time we were there to finish my beer.
The pizza was simply okay. I ordered the ale crust pizza and it was a lot of crust at the edge and not much holding up the middle, making it hard to eat. They also charge by topping if you want anything besides cheese, although they did let me swap the cheese for a different topping. A friend ordered their deep dish pizza and loved it though, so maybe that’s the better thing to order here.
I would come here again for the atmosphere and drinks, but I probably won’t come back for the pizza.

I was extremely excited to find out that there is an Old Chicago in Dallas!!! :) I first found this place in CO about 13 years ago and fell in love with it! I was definitely not disappointed here!!! The Italian nachos were a wonderful new treat! I ordered the Chicago 7 and it was just as wonderful as I remember it being so long ago! (I’ve also visited the location in Ft Hood more recently in 2012 so I haven’t had to wait 12 yrs!!) lol Staff was great and very attentive. We went on a Saturday afternoon so it wasn’t busy. We also ordered the spinach chicken pizza with the new dough (cannot remember the name) but the Chicago 7 deep crust was the best! Thank you SOOO MUCH for coming to Dallas!!!

Wow great pizza! Not sure why the stars are so low for this location they have great sales awesome happy hour. After 10pm personal pizzas are two bucks and selected beer is 3. That’s a pizza and a beer for five bucks that’s awesome. The day I went selected beer was Samuel Adams the IPA and the Amber. You can’t find any IPA for 3 bucks anywhere check you can’t. So I had a great experience here service was awesome food was great. I think I found my new spot for happy hour M-​F keep up the good work guys. Oh I recommend the Chicago 7 and the wings don’t order the 5 you’re gonna want more than five.

This is a solid pizza place. My girlfriend and I have been here at least two times. I will say it’s not my favorite but they have good appetizers and deep dish pizza. Most recently, we tried the buffalo sliders and that was a good choice. The deep dish felt similar to BJ’s. I got applewood chicken, peppered bacon, and spinach which was a decent combo. Tuesday nights are trivia nights so be prepared to participate. Overall good pizza place.

I’ve been here 3 – 4 times since their opening awhile back. Went again last night for the Italian grinder deep dish, Thai chili wings, and beer.
— The pizza was good as usual! Plus their ranch is the perfect consistency for a heavy pizza. $ 20.99 for a medium deep dish, more than enough for 2 ppl.
— Thai chili wings tasted exactly like Thai sweet chili sauce out of the import bottle from Thailand. Personally would have preferred more heat, but tasty nonetheless. Almost $ 10 for 10 wings
— Beer selection always good mix of local and other micros
— Atmosphere always good for a game or a «casual» date. Tons of TVs
— Service: sat at the bar, great service and beer tasters from friendly Sean.
One thing that bothered me a bit: place smelled humid /​musty yesterday.
Otherwise, this joint is solid for a nearby deep dish + beer. Don’t compare it to Chicago though, we’re still in Dallas!

My three stars still stand, and honestly it’s a little closer to deserving two. This is NOT Chicago style pizza, it’s just thick crust. It’s good, but definitely not great. Sadly this place could be amazing but the service is always so lacking. Service this time was definitely better than all the other times I’ve been but it still wasn’t great. My knife was NASTY. I’m talking it looked like it was covered in saw dust or something. The second one I opened had the same stuff on it just not as much. She took them away and said oh it must be from the dishwasher. While I appreciate she was probably just trying not to let me get grossed out, I’m not blind. I know the difference between a dishwasher spot and filth.
The food used to be much better as well, which made it still worth coming to. The pepperoni rolls are now about half the size they used to be which was really our favorite thing about this place.
Overall if you want to mostly just have a beer and watch the game and don’t care much about the food this place is great. The beer selection is awesome, but if you are wanting a good dinner experience I think there are places that would better achieve that.

Ew to the food, service has always been good though.
I’ve been to Old Chicago several times and I always leave wishing the food didn’t taste like it had been in the freezer for hours, the only reason why we keep coming back is because they have really cheap drinks and you can’t dislike a place for that. While I do wish the food tasted better, the drinks are pretty decent and really well priced. Haven’t had any issues wit service.
Please improve the quality of your food! :(

Well… This is just not what I expected. :(I had been meaning to try out this spot for a while, because deep dish pizza is the bomb and it’s hard to find a good one outside of Chicago. I came here thinking that maybe I could get my deep dish fix while finding a new go-​to pizza joint too!
Not the case. I ordered a deep dish pizza with pepperoni and 3x cheese, but when I opened the box, there was literally a tablespoon of cheese to be found. The pizza was just a mess of bread, sauce, pepperoni and hints of cheese here and there. Now, I know I am a cheese lover and have high standards for my cheese levels, but this pizza did not even have a normal, standard amount of cheese on it. And it was a far cry from 3x cheese that I paid extra for. There were literally entire pieces that only had sauce and pepperoni on it. I’m ashamed to admit that Dominos pan pizza (which is actually pretty amazing) blows this place out of the water and then some.
Needless to say, my friend and I felt like we wasted our money. I had such high hopes for this place, but I don’t think I will be coming back. :(
