Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Mixed - the main room is loud and bustling, not ideal for intimate conversation. However, request the back room or patio for a quieter experience. Good if you both want serious pizza; skip for romance-focused dining.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually yes due to the massive space, but weekends and holidays fill up. Reservations accepted via OpenTable for inside; patio seating is first-come, first-served only and cannot be reserved.
Is it kid-friendly? Extremely - reviewers call it 'kid welcoming, not just kid friendly.' Highchairs available, dedicated kids menu with pizza and pasta, garlic knots are a hit with little ones. Reservations help manage wait times with antsy children.
Best For
Better for: Groups and families who want options beyond just deep dish—full Italian menu with pasta, salads, chicken, and steak means everyone finds something. Dog-friendly patio is rare for Mag Mile. More accessible than Lou's or Gino's with reservations and massive capacity.
Skip if: You want the quintessential graffiti-wall tourist deep dish experience (go to Gino's East) or a quieter, more intimate Italian meal. The cavernous space and Mag Mile location mean it skews touristy and loud at peak times.
