Piece Of Chicago

I gave the atmosphere two stars only because of the restaurants location and the drug activity that goes on around the restaurant. My two star rating for atmosphere has nothing to do with the restaurant solely itself. The location does suffer as a result of the activity that goes on in the Mount Vernon plaza.

Outstanding food that tastes like "Mama" used to make. Amazing food, friendly service, great prices. The "star" of our meal was pumpkin pie. Out of this world delicious. We also ordered sweet potato pie. Ordering two or three desserts next time! One taste and it was "back home sweet potato pie" from my childhood. As the late Tina Turner might say, the food, the service, the pie are "Simply the best!" Note: We placed our order online for pickup. They texted when it was ready--a full 20 minutes before it was supposed to be ready! Pickup was super easy. No wait. I just showed up and the order was ready. Amazing? You betcha'! This operation is a 100% winner.

Good pizza at a really good price. I ordered four XL pizzas for my students, and even though there was a mix-up with the order, Sue made sure the pizzas got to me quickly and easily. My students enjoyed the pizza, and I loved that they use beef instead of pork for the pepperoni. It's been years since I've eaten pepperoni because everyplace uses pork. I'll order from here again because the price is a real plus when you're ordering for a large group.
