" My partner and I were looking for a cozy place to enjoy pizza, and Don Chendo exceeded our expectations! We shared the meat lovers deep dish and we were blown away. The crust was perfectly baked - crispy on the outside and light inside. The generous toppings filled every bite with flavor, and we had more than enough to take home. The staff was incredibly friendly; Marly made great recommendations, and she took care of us throughout our meal. We also enjoyed the garlic bread, which was delightful. Can't wait to return for another pizza date! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Don Chendo with friends last week and we had high hopes based on other reviews. The BSpecial Appetizer was delightful, crispy on the outside and cheese melted richly inside. However, the main attraction, the deep dish, while substantial, lacked the depth of flavor we expected. The atmosphere was definitely cozy, perfect for a casual dinner. Service was good, but they forgot one of our drinks. I’d give it another shot though. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week, I took my kids to Don Chendo, and they loved it! They had the pepperoni pizza while I opted for the vegetarian option, and every bite was filled with flavor! The crust was just the right amount of crispy. We also had a caesar salad, which came as a delightful surprise—it exceeded our expectations and paired well with the pizza. The ambiance is relaxed and family-friendly, making it a great spot for lunches or dinners with the little ones. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I usually avoid tourist traps, I’m glad I took the plunge on Don Chendo! They serve a Chicago-style pie that’s surprisingly packed with fresh flavors. We tried the garlic bread as an appetizer, and it was baked to perfection. The deep dish pizza was filling, and the crust was superb—crispy with just the right amount of chewiness. The servers were friendly and accommodating, which added to our positive experience. I would recommend this place to any pizza lover. " (*Curated Review*)

The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, perfect for any dining occasion. I can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just got back from a dinner at Don Chendo and I must say the experience was pleasant from start to finish! The cheese-stuffed deep dish was out of this world! It reminded me of the deep dish pizzas from back home in Chicago. The workers were friendly and attentive, continuously making sure we were satisfied with our meals. I’m definitely making this my new go-to pizza place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was blown away by how delicious the food was! Everyone at our table got a different pizza and each one was fantastic. The deep dish was perfect—creamy cheese, crunchy bottom, and fresh toppings. The vibe of the restaurant is cozy and inviting, making it pleasant for family and friends. Our server was pleasant and very attentive, checking in on us regularly. We're already making plans to return! " (*Curated Review*)
