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!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Burnt pizza, bad management

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
Avoid at all costs

I decided to visit Sweet Home Chicago with my family based on several good reviews I read regarding their pizza. Boy, were the good reviews wrong, but the bad reviews were right on the money!!! The service was poor, the restaurant was very small and dirty.
When the pizza finally arrived it was completely unlike any other pizza I've ever eaten, that wasn't really a good thing. The crust was hard, thin, and tasteless. The pizza sauce was bitter, acidic, and salty. I would suggest avoiding this place at all cost! Your family, stomach and your wallet will thank you.
- Pros: It was quiet
- Cons: Where do I begin! Service, food, price
TERRIBLE PIZZA-TERRIBLE MANAGMENT

this pizza is absolutely disgusting(unless of course if you like eating your pizza out of a soup bowl). it was incredibly soggy, had way too much sauce and the bottom was basically black. i've actually had better pizza at jazz games. they also have some of the worst managers i've ever encountered. not only were they extremely rude and arrogant, but also very unhelpful. if this is how REAL chicago pizzerias treat their customers then it looks like i wont be planning any trips there in the near future. if you're thinking of eating here....DON"T. save the 25 dollars you'll end up paying and order dominos.
- Pros: the soda was ok i guess.
- Cons: everything except the soda. and the cheese pull-aparts are way better at the pie.

So we decided to give this place a try even after reading the reviews here after seeing "Pizza Paradise" on the TravelChannel. I also did a little "googling" and found the famous Pepe's in Chicago but for Frank, no mention of Jim.
They won "Best of" in 2006. That was then and definitely not now.
I ordered a "Don" for pick up, stuffed style. Of course it wasn't ready when they said it would be. After 10 minute I saw the guy pull the pie out. Then he started to scrape at it. Apparently it got a little burnt I thought but that's ok, I like "crispies." I got it home and it was more than crispy, it was burnt on the top and bottom! (I should have checked at the restaurant)
I can't believe they would still sell such poor food. Might as well dropped it on the floor and put it back.
PRO: I will have to say, the parts of the crust that weren't burnt were really good, kinda like a pie crust where there's thin layers of flakiness. The toppings/filing was average.
Oh yeah, the pricing online doesn't match in store-it's higher in store.
- Pros: Great flaky crust
- Cons: Poor quality and customer service. Burnt pizza!
"Best" Pizza?

They claim to have been voted Utahs best pizza but there is no mention who award them this (is there such an award?). I emailed them and asked but they never responded. Seems to be made up. Only place I know of that won best pizza is The Pie.

They claim to have won an award for Utahs best pizza (is there such an award?). There is no mention of who award them this distinction. I sent them an email to inquire and they never responded.

The first time we went there with our friends...we got our meal, however, our friends meal was never delievered to the table. We asked about their order several times before they finally got it and then it was wrong. We thought that we would give them another chance, since everyone has an off day every now and again, but this time we did delievery. I think that the pizza is pretty good (get the DON), however, the service could be better and delievery times run close to an hour (or more). Is it worth the wait...not if you want your meal fast or right for that matter.
- Pros: ????
- Cons: Slow service
Not even good when it's FREE!

I'm origionally from PA but I have family in Chicago. I tried this pizza on NUMEROUS occasions since my previous company used them a couple of times for meetings. They are the WORST, squishiest, bland pizza I have ever eaten. I will never pay money to eat there. I don't see any flavor of Chicago in this place except for borrowing the name.
- Pros: <shrug>
- Cons: Bad food, does a disservice to Chicago pizza
Considering eating here? Don't

I have no opinion on whether or not this pizza is authentic Chicago style. If it is, well, I won't be eating pizza in the Windy City. My wife and I left with two thirds of our pizza-flavored grease casserole uneaten -- just couldn't manage to swallow the stuff without the need to suppress a gag reflex.
And the service..., it was actually worse than nonexistent. The staff seemed too busy flirting and partying with each other to care about their customers or their jobs. I noticed several annoyed looks from the staff when customers entered the building. If I were the owner, I would have fired the entire so-called staff on the spot. How this place stays in business, I don't know.
Was the pizza worse than the service? Hard to say. At the very least, I can say that the two matched. However, I do feel bad giving this place a one-star rating; it deserves much worse.
- Pros: None come to mind
- Cons: Awful pizza with rude, uncaring service
