Taste Chicago is a piece of Chicago in L.A. Although this place is a bit expensive, the food is unbelievably good! Owned by actor Joe Mantegna, Taste Chicago has the best italian beef I've ever tasted. The pizza is very good, too. I live a mile away and it takes everything in me not to eat there every week!
From a pizza specialist – I have been in the pizza industry in the midwest for about 15 years. I love the deep dish here. It's very similar to Chicago's classis pizza, and the deep dish is wonderful. It's huge, with extra large slices for about 20 bucks. Typical for this type of pizza. Listening to the other reviews, i'm perplexed! Are we talking about the same one? I've lived down the street from it for 2 years, and have never had a 3 piece or under done pizza. No, the service isn't wonderful, but you should be able to tell... read more
Worst Pizza Ever – This was by far the worst pizza I've ever tasted! It cost $18 dollars for 3 slices and it wasn't even baked all the way through. After eating a few bites of the pizza I instantly became sick, that is not an exaggeration.
Worst Service in LA – My boyfriend and I decided to try this place last night on a recommendation from a friend. The deep dish pizza was quite yummy, but not as good as the Village Pizzeria in Larchmont, just 6 miles or so south of this place. You can get a much better pizza with more toppings for less money if you drive to Village Pizzeria. The service at Taste Chicago was easily the worst I have ever received in Los Angeles. I agree with greg_d who posted on 10/19/07 ? you can?t leave the sight of the insipid cashier or yo... read more
Yummy Chicago The food is great. My only problem was the limited parking. Both the ribs and chicken are worth the trip. The service is friendly. This place is best enjoyed on a weekday around 2:30. Less lunch crowd.
Satisfying Food at Now-a-day Prices – I find it funny to read some of these other reviews. People that claim to be from Chicago and complain that the food at Taste Chicago tastes nothing like actual food in Chicago or the hot dogs are the wrong size, what's that all about? I have been in the restaurant industry over the years and I've come to discover that there are people from anywhere and everywhere that just do not have any taste and wouldn't know the difference between good food or bad. I don't think this type of consume... read more
Doesn't taste like Chicago to me! – Okay, I may be a little bias here (since I'm from Chicago), but this place is a HUGE disappointment for me. I remember driving past Taste Chicago before they opened and I was so excited that a place like this was opening in my neck of the woods. Finally, I could have a Chicago Dog and Italian Beefs on a regular basis again! The first week they opened, I rushed over with a hearty appetite...but was left with nothing but a bad taste in my mouth. I couldn't believe what they were charging for... read more
Pretty weak service – Here's the deal; you order at the counter, then you find a seat and wait for your food to be prepared. Problem is, as soon as you walk away, you stand a good chance of being forgotten by the ditsy bimbos at the register. DON'T LEAVE THEIR SIGHT! They're just not sharp enough to be trusted with your order unless you wait there and supervise. Ribs are good. Or at least they were the last time I had any. Never actually got the ones I ordered tonight. Managed to get my money back from the vacuous cashier, a... read more
Loved the dog, thank you Joe and wife – I have tried "chicago-style" dogs all over the valley: Encino, Van Nuys, Canoga Park, Winnetka. However, I found their Chicago dog to be the best I've had locally. The poppyseed bun topped it off. Everything was perfect. I even considered going back for a few dogs and keeping them in the refrigerator. Too bad they don't have a location closer to the west valley. P.S. I was born and grew up in Chicago.. For me it doesn't have to be 100% authentic Chicago, it just has to taste good.
