First time I’ve been to Paul’s Chicago Pizza and I was very impressed!!! This is an order at counter restaurant and they bring the food out to your table when ready. Entire restaurant is adorned with festive themed decor which looks great!! Food was brought out in good time and was perfect temperature. Ordered 2 pizzas, one was the 8” Buffalo chicken pizza and the second one was a 16” thin crust cheese pizza. Both pizzas were excellent!!! The thin crust was perfectly crispy and not over cooked!! Highly recommend trying this restaurant out!! They have a great variety of menu choices in addition to what we ordered. They have soft drinks as well as draught beer and more to drink. Looking forward to visiting again soon to try some more of your menu items!!! Great job overall to the server and also kitchen staff for making my experience worthwhile!!

Besr Chicago thin crust I've had in Florida. Actually was better than quite a few places I went in Chicago last month. Service was good, atmosphere was cool, but the thin crust sausage is what did it for me. Also had a Chicago dog and it was amazing. We drove over an hour to go here, but we will definitely be making the trip more often. Prices were also cheaper than I was expecting.

I’m a pizza snob from Illinois, I make pizza from scratch .... Saying Paul’s is “legit” Chicago style thin crust is an understatement. - Paul’s is literally the best crust I’ve ever had, anywhere! I’ll be stopping again for a pie and to beg for any dough recipe or processing tips to achieve the cracker thin and crisp crust. Sauce and sausage were amazing too - but, Crust is the “wind beneath the ingredients wings”. Best pizza I’ve ever had, even better than mine, until I figure out Paul’s crust.

We have been looking for a delicious, traditional stuffed pizza and found just that at Paul’s Pizza. The food was delicious! The service was friendly, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. We will definitely go back.

Let's just say you walk in, and you are welcomed with Chicago memorabilia. What a cool thing to have in Florida. Service was on point they are welcoming, inviting, and helpful to suggestions. Ordered a small thin crust pepperoni, and ham definitely would order that again. The garlic Parmesan poppers. Another great tasting item. The place is clean, spotless, and filled with Chicago sports. If you're a Chicago fan, this is your place to go. Great staff great food great environment. Bathroom review to finish. Smells like lemons it's clean bright. Great job everyone Update: second time here spotless like it was the first time. Ordered a bigger size pizza and did not disappoint. An update: ordered the meat lovers Chicago pizza. It's a must order. I will try what this place has to offer to show my love to Italian style pizza love. Yall 1-10 this raises the bar everytime!

I was craving a deep dish pizza & missing Chicago so we gave this place a shot. I’m so happy we did, the vibes were super chill and the place felt like home. We had the meat stuffed pizza & it was delicious! We had two slices left over which we air fried the next day and it came out just as good! Yum!! The fries & garlic poppers were delicious as well.

Warm, old-school feel restaurant. Order your delicious authentic Chicago style pizza, app & beer at the counter. Take a seat and wait 30-40 minutes for your mouthwatering pie to arrive. So worth the wait! Takes minute to cook something that deep.
