At Chicago's Pizza on East Stop 11 Road, deep dish is only one option: the kitchen also makes thin and traditional pizzas, alongside pasta and fresh-baked breadsticks. Father-and-son owners Ron and Nate Epple opened this Indianapolis location in 2007, and group meals remain central to its appeal.
The lunch buffet is the recurring draw in diners’ accounts, with a selection of pizzas, breadsticks and a salad bar. Diners praise the salad bar’s fresh ingredients and house-made dressings, while families point to the buffet’s value. Busy lunches can mean waits for dessert pizza and tables to be cleared.
For a gathering, diners single out the oversized party pizza as a crowd-feeding option. Friendly service and generous portions are other recurring themes. Beer and wine are served, and outdoor seating offers an alternative to the dining room.
