Sprayin, the interior is modern, you order at the counter and they bring it to you. Have a lot of outdoor seating too.
I had never had Detroit style before, but based on what I've read and also other reviews of this place, it's decent. The crust was crunchy, caramelized, very addicting for me. She said they usually have a wider variety of pre-made pizzas but since it was late they had run out of some of them. I'm curious to see what your wife thinks.

It's such garbage. I like PH as a fast food pizza at times, and I'll occasionally get it. But their Detroit style can fuck right off. LC Deep Deep or Jets would be a more appropriate Detroit style (although it doesn't have the sauce on top).

I think the last we had PH was a while ago, we were on a family road trip somewhere. Wasn't the worst pizza ever, but was down around a 5/10 for us.

Been getting Lous a bit more often lately. The Elk Grove Village location by my new(ish) house is 1000x better than the take-out only location off Irving Park by my old Chicago house. Still not singing their praises but worth getting at least here.

Its always blown my mind, the lack of consistency between 2 different locations. Last night a perfect example. Out favorite thin crust is D'Agostinos in Wrigleyville.
The original in Wrigleyville is hands down the best location. River North and Wheeling not bad but not the original. We went to the one in River Grove last night. Everything from the service, appetizers and pizza was fucking horrible. My Wife and I were soooooo disappointed. I can polish off half an 18" pizza by myself, I probably ate a qtr of it last night. We literally brought home half a pizza. Only brought it home because I paid for it and my dog will eat it lol.

I grew up on it and I love that shit. You have to like sweet pizza sauce in order to like Dags.

Yooooo I just had something that surprised the hell out of me. So we decided to do Giordanos tonight. Went to the one out in Rosemont. Figured I'd just have the regular ol stuffed pizza that I usually have, which is solid, but nothing to write home about. Well, they had a special limited time menu with a different type of deep dish: parmesean crusted pan pizza.
Ho Lee Fuk. Let me tell ya. This is the best thing Giordanos has ever made. It's not as thick as the stuffed. It's like a regular pan deep-dish, Ala Lous. They put down a layer of parmesean cheese and bake it into the crust. Then you get the good Giordanos sauce in top with a sprinkle of parmesean on top of that too. I almost polished this whole thing off by myself.
My only complaint is that I think there could have been a little more sauce, and they could have brought it out a few minutes sooner so it held its temperature better.
Overall I LOVED this thing. Which means they'll probably cancel it next week. I will absolutely be back for this.
Score: 9/10

Chicago thin crust is the less good version of NY. Most Chicago thin crust the crust is nothing special. Chi style sometimes has good sausage.

Sometimes? SOMETIMES? Sausage is almost inedible outside of the Midwest.

Yeah I'd agree non-Chi sausage is pretty bad, though I don't like sausage on pizza. #fightme

I feel obligated to tell you that you should cook that out of the cardboard box and plastic wrap it sits inā¦.
