- MMikeVIPChicago / Illinois •25 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoFirst time to Professor Pizza and we learned it had been opened about 9 months. While waiting for our food, I started looking at their Instagram, and saw the owner/chef in many of the pictures. From there, I realized he was all over the restaurant, bussing tables, talking to guests, working with other employees, etc. We arrived about 10 minutes before our reservation, the host went out of his way to apologize for our wait, which was only 5ish minutes and still before our reservation time. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and beautiful finishes. The music was well selected and not over—bearing, and the sound level was perfect, people weren’t having to scream to hear each other (or anywhere close). We started with the Mozzarella Onion Rings, because they sound interesting and different, they were really good, but hard to eat, as my teeth and our knives had a hard time breaking through the onion, so they fell apart after the first bite. Then we got one cracker style pizza and one NY style. I had the NY style with the Deluxe Sausage & Pepper Pizza - and OMG it was the BEST pizza I’ve ever had by a long shot, and I’m kind of a pizza snob. When Tony (the Chef/Owner) came to our table, I told him that and I could see him light up ear to ear. Those sweet drop peppers add the perfect amount of sweetness to the otherwise very savory pizza bite. I can’t say enough good things about this place - a MUST try (and then repeat)!More infoProfessor Pizza - Old TownPrice: Expensive• Pizzeria• Old Town•4.4
- SsandraChicago / Illinois •3 reviews5.0Dined on 11 Dec 2024I love Broken English and have been many times. Unfortunately this time around the tacos tasted different and didn’t have the flavor and richness they normally do. Not sure if it was due to a change or recipes or cooks but it was a bit disappointing. Everything else is always great, nice atmosphere and staff. I will be back and hopefully the food is back to normal next time I go.More infoBroken English Taco Pub-Old TownPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Old Town•4.7
