I’ve always heard that The Paradise Restaurant on Portage Ave was great for Italian eats. I even had very nice spaghetti and meatballs there before. But I had no idea they delivered so we had to have the pizza.
We tried one of their signature pizzas, with garlic on it – on a side note, get garlic on your pizza more often. It is great – The pizza took about an hour to arrive. The staff was very friendly on the phone and pizza was piping hot when it was plopped down on our coffee table. We were off the races.
When we finally got around to going the service was great, we chatted with the manager a bit, and he even gave us some very wise advice “Don’t order double mushrooms on a deep dish pizza because the mushrooms absorb water and can mess with the pizza.” Ordering a deep dish is an epic event at Chicago Phil’s, you need to choose a lot of toppings.

Wasn’t feel too fancy so I went with a Pappa Roni, but I’d also highly recommend the Sweet Curry Chicken. This pizza is just the right size for lunch, the crust might be a little buttery for some, but I really enjoy how light it is. I would have liked the pepperoni to be a little more crispy, but for the amount of time I waited (like ten minutes) I really can’t complain that much!
Let me start off by saying these guys are probably some of the nicest pizza chefs out there. We called on a Saturday night and they were cool, calm, helpful, and friendly. We were a little bit out of the delivery range but since they weren’t too busy the guys at Wild Wedge made the [...]
