Time Out Chicago: Welcome to the "Nine Levels of Hell": poblano peppers, pepperoni, giardiniera, bacon, fresh garlic, jalapeño, sausage, red onion and banana peppers, together forming the "Inferno." Read more.
Chicagoist: My favorite is the mighty Minotaur specialty pie which is topped with Italian beef, giardiniera, peppers, garlic, provolone, and mozzarella; it's an aggressive, delicious onslaught of strong flavors. Read more.
Amy Graff: Huge, sloppy NY style slices with crazy-wonderful toppings. Meat eaters: trust me and get the Minos. Vegans and omnivores alike go nuts for the Gorgon and its awesome tofu ricotta. Slow delivery.
Jamie Iacobucci: Everything!! I created my own salad...greens, cucumber, tomato, banana pepper, black lentils and I added salmon!! It was SO delicious and very healthy! They give you a small round of pita bread too!😋
Jéssica Dutra: Just around everything, but the kale salad and the couscous are superb
