**Chicago Mikes
-Small deep dish-
Half pepperoni
Half mushroom/ spinach- good sauce, good seasonings, even as a deep dish it was very bready more like Detroit or Sicilian than Chicago. Not bad, just very bready. Honestly didn't taste any toppings other than the garlic which was delicious.
-kids small thin crust pepperoni- honestly super yummy. Great thin crust. Flavorful spicy pepperoni
-kids chicken tender- juicy, nice flavor in the crispy breading
-fries, ok, no complaint
-mozzarella sticks, standard, no complaints
-side salad- well portioned with lots of yummy toppings
**Sauces, all in 3oz ramikins
-Ranch- fresh and delicious
-Honey mustard- light in flavor, very good
-Marinara- chunky and yummy
-Blue cheese- pungent and flavorful in the best way
-Iced tea- fresh
-Coke- good/ standard
*Service - I was called to verify my order because the system on their end didn't specify, which I appreciated the attention to detail
*Box- for a heavy deep dish pizza, may need a sturdier box
-Timing- great.
Would definitely order again but would stick with the thin crust over the deep dish.
I absolutely love this restaurant! It's under new ownership, but they've kept the menu and Chicago imported ingredients the exact same, with some exciting new developments...! Tonight I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and mushroom pizza and a Chicago dog to-go. The pie was square-cut Chicago-style, with browned cheese, pepperoni, crumbled Italian sausage, and mushrooms. The sausage has the fennel note you expect on a Chicago pie, not bland grocery sausage. The dog was built the right way: Vienna beef, poppy seed bun, yellow mustard, neon relish, onion, tomato wedges, pickle spear, sport pepper, and celery salt.
The restaurant still imports the dogs, sausage, Italian beef, relish, giardiniera, buns, and rolls from Chicago, and the mushrooms are imported and blanched. The dining room still has the original family photos and Chicago memorabilia.
Ordering is easier than it used to be. They now have online ordering at chicagomikes.pizza, you can create an account, and they deliver. I also witnessed DoorDash there while waiting for my order to be ready; so that's an option now too. If you sign in to the new website, they run a points setup that can turn into discounts or a free side once it adds up. Confirm the current reward on the site when you order, because that part is not spelled out yet on the menu.
This is still the Chicago-style stop I use in the Carson Valley: thin square pie and a Chicago dog made perfectly; not a generic pizza chain. They also sell deep dish if that is what you want. Hours are limited (typically closed Monday and Tuesday), so check before you go.
