Chicago Pizza Authority

We got the school night special. It was not special. The pizza I got last night was not Cpa quality. It was very much like a bad frozen pizza that you get from the store. There was no flavor. There was barely any sauce. There was no cheese pull. It was overcooked and almost flavorless.

Its very BiJou & Intimate Dining room. About 9 tables. Takeout has a line out the door & around the corner. Same great experience, food & inviting atomesphere i grew up with in the 70's & 80's. 1/2 price pizza on Mondays. Blows the local places away. Here they concentrate on fresh ingrediants. Sauce could use smidge more tomato tang. We always order the chicken pot pie soup And for pizza works, sub black olives w/green olives, sub bacon w/fresh garlic. Or Bacon, green pepper, tomatos, pineapple & 1/2 jalapeno or bacon,, spinach, tomato. We always come back & over tip our server. She makes our dining experience awesome!

I was really disappointed with the pizza we ordered here. We ordered 2 thing crust pizza’s last night for PICKUP! Pickup took exactly 1 HOUR and 10 mins. The Pizza was a 3/5 at best because it wasn’t bad, and it was NOT good. I ordered the thin crust veggie and thin crust with chicken and pepperoni. We didn’t love either pizza. This was my first time trying CPA and I won’t be back. There was no real flavor for the pizza, it needed salt, and the crust is just not for me. We like rosati’s MUCH better for the same price… sorry!

Their gluten-free pizza was very good! I did carry-out yesterday afternoon. The pizza crust was not hard unlike other places that I’ve tried. The size is and price reasonable for a cheese pizza for one :) I happily had left overs for dinner.

When I was a kid, CPA was my brothers favorite, and now as an adult, my 10 Year old daughter loves it. Long time favorite! The best, for real. Wish the prices were cheaper, but you get what you pay for, even if the portions seem kind of small. Minor complaint for something you KNOW will be good and satisfying.
