Ace's Restaurant

2020/04/28 Motorcycle ride out from Clarksville, TN. Ace’s is a straight shot out Dover Road from Clarksville…a little more than an hour ride. Location: 5/5 Plenty of parking. Pavement. Easy off, easy on. Ambiance: 5/5 They are really living up the Chicago theme plus sports in general. Seems like it would be a pretty cool place when it is packed. Value for $$: 3/5 Not great, especially for a 12” pizza. We’ve had better at better prices. Service: 5/5 Friendly service. Hygiene: 4/5 Clean. Cuisine: 3/5 Chili cheese fries were okay. 12” all meat pizza, we won’t get again…it was more like a thin non crispy crust but not NY style either. We are planning to go back to give the Stromboli and the “stuff crust” pizza a try…I think it is their version of an authentic Chicago pizza. We’ll see. Recommend: We are going to give it another go. The staff was great. We chatted it up with a few of the regulars there, and they said the joint is a lot of fun. Overall, we recommended it.

25 dollars for a mediocre at best medium (14") pizza??!!! And then get the typical excuse that their prices have gone up because of supply chain, etc...I have never even paid 25 bucks for a large thin crust pizza in NYC! Absolutely ridiculous. Crust was not freshly made, toppings were sparse, and flavor was so so. There are far better places to get pizza in this town that are not as expensive. I highly suggest going elsewhere.

If you are looking for actual deep dish Chicago pizza, this is NOT the place to go, unless you like paying Chicago prices for inferior pizza. We ordered the Aces special: peppers, onions, sausage, pepperoni, and mushrooms. The waitress told us it would take an hour, which we were ok with because Chicago pizza takes 45 minutes to an hour to cook. At one hour the waitress told us our pizza was out and they would cut it in about 5 minutes. At one hour and 25 minutes the waitress told us they had to put it back in the oven because it was not cooked in the middle. At one hour and 45 minutes the pizza was finally brought to the table. It was not even hot, just warm, but it looked good on the outside....until you moved a piece. The toppings were almost non existent and there were globs of cheese everywhere. I ate through half the piece before even hitting one piece of meat. Real Chicago pizza has about 2/3rds less cheese and 2/3rds more toppings. The owner manager guy kept making rounds with other customers and made eye contact with us several times but never came over to apologize for the obvious screw up. Someone from this restaurant needs to take a trip to Chicago and have a slice of real Chicago pie, because this is not it!
