Wow!!! What a find!!! Had the deep dish. Split it half & half double pepperoni and Dearborn Station plus mushrooms. They have 4 different crust selections. Thin, Shattered (extra thin), Chicago Deep Dish and Baked Pan Pizza. There were 2 separate tables I talked to that were from Chicago, and they said the Chicago IS a Chicago pizza for sure. This place is a must do!!! Thanks for raising the pizza bar for us in Ft Myers.

I'm a transplant from the Chicago area and was seeking a real square-cut tavern style pizza for years. Our family loves ordering the thin crust Mag-Mile (Sausage, Mushroom, Green pepper, onion). Absolutely delicious with a glass of wine or a cold one. Love it! Young lady at the pickup area was very nice, and they keep your pizza hot in a warmer until you arrive.

This pizza place is our new favorite place for pizza. They have Beer Nuggets, not knots, for an appetizer and they are AMAZING! Everyone is very personable there and Kendra was our waitress. Kendra did an AWESOME job taking care of us. She stopped by our table to make sure we had everything we needed several times. The GM, Henry Gonzales, was there and I had a conversation with him and the cook ( sorry I forgot his name) and they were both very nice too. This is a GREAT place to get pizza and you will never want knots again after you try their beer nuggets. I recommend this place very highly!!!!!!

I recently visited Baked (formerly Buddyz) and I must say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly smiles and a warm atmosphere. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable about their products and were able to answer all of my questions with ease. The food at Baked was simply outstanding. I tried their famous pizzas and was blown away by the quality and flavor. The crust was perfectly crispy, the toppings were fresh and flavorful, and the cheese was gooey and delicious. I also tried some of their baked goods and they were equally delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal with friends or a date night. The prices were reasonable for the quality of food and service that we received. Overall, I would highly recommend Baked to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. It truly deserves a 5-star review and I will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you Averie

I’ve visited here five times in the past two weeks to study and grab a quick bite, and every experience has been fantastic. Every staff member, from the waitresses to the rest of the team, has greeted me with warmth and professionalism. I usually only order a few appetizers, but the service is always outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuine. It’s a refreshing level of customer care that’s hard to find among nearby businesses.

I was at a wedding last night catered by Chicago Pizza. Henry was there & personally handled all of the food and let me tell you- IT WAS AMAZING! They don’t only do pizza; I had steak, salmon, roasted potatoes! Me and my whole table talked about how that was the best wedding food we’ve ever had. I’m super impressed!

Julia was our server yesterday and she was amazing. Great service, so welcoming, made us very comfortable. Our food was excellent! We had their Italian beef sandwich and thin crust pizza. Delicious! The pizza was crispy, cheesy and hot! The Italian beef sandwiches were unbelievable. Top quality ingredients, just perfect. We unknowingly went during their happy hour a day wine and beers were 1/2 off. Everything was great! We were in the area and just googled places in the Forum shops and took a chance going there. Great choice! Thanks to Julia for making our meal even better!
