Chizona’s Pizza

Chicago Dogs are the best, made right — taste right!
I also like the pizza’s, made thin style. I usually pick up my orders, the place is busy at lunch time, but you get in and out fast!

Great Chicago-​style pizza! Their pizzas are a little on the greasy side depending on the amount of cheese and toppings. Convenient location to grab your food and go.

We order from there all the time. Deb in the afternoon is fantastic but the chick at night is terrible. She has a very stupid voice and is too busy smoking to answer the phone. Our food was supposed to be delivered in an hour but it showed up an hour and fifty minutes later stone cold. Something has to be done about your night crew and the nasty girl that answers the phone. She is awful and a definite negative to your business Too bad because we LIKED your food

During the day the service is great. Debbie the daytime manager is phenomenal. The person that works the night shift is the most awful person I’ve ever experienced in the service industry. Tonight we are promised order within one hour. An hour and a half later we calling to check on her order. We were told that other customers had priority because they ordered first in our order would be delivered soon. The nighttime manager then tells me that the rest of the route had to be delivered before they can get to me. I was less than one block away. The food shows up it’s ice cold in the delivery driver has an attitude. Please be aware do not do business with this company after 4 PM. If you do so you’ll be highly disappointed.

Wow… just standing here waiting for a slice and the front girl has touched her crotch, her eyes and her nose. She is sniffing like she is coming down with a cold. I am afraid to eat the pizza but I have been here before and the pizza is good. At least she has not touched any food that I have seen so far. Whoever the owner is should make sure the workers understand hygiene. The female driver has just ran her fingers through her hair 3 times! Not a huge deal since she is not working with the food but still. I am getting my slice now and it’s pretty bland but huge piece.
The owner needs to make sure that the staff is properly trained and have attended food handler classes.

Won’t order from here again because the food was horrible. We had three items from Chizona and only the Gyro was edible. The pizza tasted like a cheap frozen pizza but the toppings weren’t nearly as fresh. The sampler platter was a soggy mess of onion rings and mozz sticks so over fried the cheese has melted out of them. The bag of chips had even expired — come on you really need to pay more attention to quality. It really shows a lack of respect for your customers when you send garbage like this out.

Last night my boyfriend and I wanted a break from regular pizza take out. He suggested Chizona because he remembered it as having good food. When the food arrived I could not have been more suprised, and not in a good way. Soggy, borderline tasteless fried zucchini, mozerella sticks that lacked anything but the faintest hint of cheese, mushrooms, and onion rings that a fast food restaurant would be ashamed of. The pizza was thin crust, square cut, and cold. They low quality cheese was greasy and unappetizing, but pulling it off and eating that on its own was better than suffering through the entire slice. It may be, based on other reviews, that at one point they were good, but clearly that moment has passed.

This place is the worst. I’ve ordered from them four times total. Three of those for delivery and one pick up. The delivery took over an hour on all three deliveries and I literally live .5 miles away from them. The three pizzas I had delivered were all cold, dry, and overdone. The one pizza I went to pick up was OK, but still lacking in taste and was overdone. The restaurant (if you can call it that) itself is quite dirty, and even though I ordered ahead of time I still waited 20 minutes in the store for the pizza to be finished. I will never order or eat here again and would advise everyone to do the same.

Chizona is the best in the valley — Every meal is so flavorful — Also great owners & staff — 5Stars

Just don’t order delivery

I’m a Chicago native that just moved to Arizona. Of course I came here for the pizza puff. It was delicious and I was not disappointed. I also tried the Chicago dog (perfect) and their Italian beef (pretty damn close). I foresee coming here many more times to get my Chicago food fix. Loved this place!

I have been coming here since it was Pizza Den. Chizona is my go to hangover cure. The pizza is bomb and the ranch is yummy. The people are nice and I like that I am supporting a neighborhood establishment. I definitely recommend!

First the most important part — the food here is great! I love the pizza and am almost embarassed to say I eat here almost once a week (mostly delivery or take-​out). I used to order the mozzarella sticks, but they’ve recently changed and I’m not as big a fan.
Another thing I love is that you can order online which makes things very convenient. I have signed up on the website and receive weekly coupons.
The only feedback I can give is that I have had online orders get lost, and it almost always takes at least an hour for an order to be ready. Knowing this you can just plan your order to be ready when you need. This is the only reason it is not 5 stars.

Very unfriendly service. We were still in the middle of our dinner, and it was about 15 minutes before closing and they just turned off the lights and stood at the door. We had to leave with our dinner still in our hands and finish outside on the street! They couldn’t be bothered to wait at least 10 more minutes for a customer to finish their meal. It was really inconsiderate — they were in such a rush to leave; it doesn’t seem like they care about their guests or the business.
Btw the pizza was average, nothing special. You can tell that they don’t put their hearts into the food — they just go through the motions and look miserable. A VERY weak experience.
And the place is absolutely filthy and decaying. I felt bad for some of the cool sports memorabilia that was on the wall — torn and stained. gross and sad. After 16 years in business, this place needs a reboot really bad.

I have had decent hotdogs here but the pizza is really gross. You can find much better chicago style food elsewhere for a better
price.

Ok let’s start off by saying my order took over 2 hours because miscommunication… When my food arrived the guy who delivered was kind of a dick. He seemed disappointed with his 3 dollar tip while also charging a delivery fee lI was disappointed with the horrible communication. I am in the hospital and lucky me the dick spilled an Au jus inside the bag. So for communication and delivery they get 1 star 0 really.
The Italian dip on the other hand was really flavorful and delicious. Sadly because the guy who delivered I will no longer order from here. Customer service is just as important as the food. The lady on the phone was nice but her husband or whatever he was killed my desire to order from them again. They got 3 stars because I’m not that big of a dick. Step up your customer service and you will be solid, BTW «tips are not mandatory and you should have been happy I gave you 3 after waiting forever.

There’s a reason I live within a few mile radius from here. Any time I miss Chicago, I come here and just chow down. Literally with everything possible on the menu that my little body can take. It is a hole-​in-​the-​wall but that’s the beauty. No flash, no bling. Just good people with really good food, together with good sports memorabilia. Walk in and the smells take you to the streets or some sporting event.
A true Chicago hot dog should consist of two things: Vienna Beef and all the fixings. Their Chizona hot dog is the super star and probably their best seller. I forego the fries to order more than 2 ChiZona dogs. Somehow it lessens the guilt, if there should be any. The gyros are another fave. And I have to gush, the calzones are as meaty as the men from there. I will warn the ladies that if you’re trying to impress a boy, don’t eat here until he’s total smitten given you can’t have the dogs without onions and the buns require you carry a flosser. Just heads up!
It is so affordable that you could go hog wild and have more than two hot dogs. The only crappy thing is the parking backs up against McDonald which can be a musical chair of sorts to get in and out. I believe you can have two loves and this place lets me be faithful to Arizona and Chicago.

A little hole-​in-​the-​wall kind of gem that has delicious eats. I was in the mood for some serious grub that wouldn’t break my bank, and thanks to Unilocal,I stumbled upon this place with 4-​stars and one dollar sign. Perfect. It lived up to my expectations!
I ordered the ChiZona hot dog and homemade french fries. This is the kind of hot dog that you need to order as is, Chicago style, with all the yummy fixings to make it great. The french fries are really good, crispy, crunchy, and they give you a large portion.
My boyfriend got the Italian beef sandwich and he was very happy with his order. It was a giant sandwich so he ended up taking half of it home. Luckily, he is moving closer to ChiZona so I have a feeling we will be eating there quite often. We both left full and happy for less than $ 20 altogether!
Excited to try their pizza and chicken tenders!

Had the opportunity to dine here with the famous Scott D and his lovely wife. We needed something quick to eat before the Doobie tribute concert and this is where we ended up. Sweet!
Located in a small strip mall and easy to drive right past. This is a nice little hole in the wall restaurant with many of the all time Chicago favorites.
Inside is decorated with all sorts of fun items that make you feel like you are back in the Windy City. You can order at the counter and get it to go or just sit down at one of their cozy tables and take the load off your feet.
Ordered a couple of Chi Dogs and had them dressed to kill. Both my wife and Scott’s went with the Chicago Dog special which comes with fries and a drink. Our traveling companion choose the Big Pizza Slice special and it was rather large. My main man Scott went with the Giant Meatball Sandwich and fries. It was HUGE!
Really liked their homemade French Fries and had to grab a few from my wife’s basket. The pile was very large and she insisted. Everything tasted really good and the portion sizes were quite large.
Looking forward to trying out their Calzones and more of their other tasty treats in the future. Thanks Mr. Scott for recommending such a swell pick. Going to put this on my top secret rotation when in the area. CUBS WIN THE PENNANT!

OK,
Pizza delivered to my hotel. Check.
Opened up the box and the pie looked delicious. Check.
Pizza had ingredients as requested. Check.
Pizza cut in squares, like a true Chicago pie. Check
Pizza cut all the way through the dough. EPIC FAIL.
My oh my. When you pick up a slice (Chizona’s cuts the pie is squares) you want to pick up a slice with all of the ingredients on top of the slice. Three of us (two who never had a Chicago style thin crust) and not one slice was cut all the way through. In a hotel room, with no cutlery we tried our best to keep the ingredients on top of each slice, but pulling apart slices, that are not cut, created an awful mess. We ended up with a bunch of hand pulled empty slices, and trying our best to put the ingredients on each slice. We gave up.
If you cant cut a pie, which is so Pizza 101, than you create a crappy experience for your customer.
3 stars for the fresh ingredients, great sauce, the owner adding some Giardiniera (very fresh and tasty). Minus 2 stars for the mess that was created by the pizza not being cut all the way through.
I had so much higher hope’s.
Stay hungry my friends…
