Best Pizza in University Place

Finding any kind of Deep Dish Chicago style or Detroit style pizza around the Puget Sound is a real challenge. Finding excellent pizza is even harder. If you are looking definitely try this out. The dough is thick but soft, the cheese is very cheesy, the sauce has mild flavor, but nothing overwhelming or underwhelming. I will definitely order again.

I hadn't been a fan of thick-crusted pizza but now I am. Eat there to experience the crispiness and unexpected airiness of this crust which headlines this pizza and doesn't need excess sauce, cheese and toppings like cheaper versions which leave your gut feeling assaulted. Order ahead of time to avoid long wait times on-site (especially if you are with hungry children). This deep-dish style of pizza requires about 45 minutes to prepare.

My husband and I visited Chicago’s Pizza Kitchen for lunch and had a fabulous experience! The staff were very welcoming and kind to us being first time customers. We decided to try a plain cheese deep dish pizza, which we also tried when in Chicago during two food tours in 2018. The pizza was nearly identical to what we had in Chicago! I am excited to try more items in future visits that we experienced in Chicago, like the Chicago style hot dog and Italian beef sandwich. We were impressed with the food quality and the kindness of the staff. Thank you for a great first visit!
