Yummy stuffed pizza

by glassyide at Citysearch

From some of the reviews, it sounds like there may have been some problems here for awhile, but we've been going for the last several months and have always gotten great pizza and friendly service, whether we were dining in or taking out.

Do sign up for their email specials - they often offer 2-for-1, or other good deals.

The stuffed pizza is wonderful. It's huge, though, so if you're not feeding a group, be prepared to have leftover pizza for a few days (like that's a problem!)

• Pros: Great pizza, good specials
• Cons: None

Burnt pizza, bad management

by jlaklong at Citysearch

We have been going to Sweet Home Chicago on and off for the last couple years. As a whole we went there more for the close location than the pizza since we never knew if it would be a good or bad day in the kitchen. More times than not we have felt our pizza had a burnt quality to it. This last time after waiting 40 minutes with, only 2 other families in the restaurant, our pizza once again had that burnt soggy quality to it. When we brought it to the attention of the manger who was not even 20 he chose to agrue with us telling us thats how all thin crust pizza's turned out. With us being more than twice his age we told him that we had had pizza thin crust and not soggy and burnt tasting but he proceeded to argue. After being yelled at and argued with we proceeded to get our monies back and being told that they didn't need our business. So I am telling everyone...They are proud enough to say they don't need your business. A big waste of money and time so many other quality pizza places and restaurants that do WANT our business and know how to treat their customers. VERY POOR FOOD and MANAGEMENT. Place has gone down hill.

• Pros: Good outdoor seating area
• Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE

Place is a joke!!!!

What happened to SHC. I used to eat here all the time. The owner must be on vacation or some damn thing. This place has seriously gone down hill within the last year. I went in there a few nights ago, just for a pickup mind you. Well first off, when I walked in, the place was filthy and there was stuff all over the floor, tables you name it. So I go to pickup my pie and low and behold it wasn't ready. Hmmmm, was quoted 30 minutes and I even got there 10 minutes late. Still not ready. Okay, so I wait and wait.....and wait some more, finally, somebody comes out and gives me this "pizza"? I opened the box and here is this piece of cheese melted over a soggy tasteless crust, with the bottom burnt so bad I almost had to spittle it out. Wow.... I literally threw the pizza out the window on my way out of parking lot. Do not eat there!!!!!!!!!!!!!
