Pizza Metro West

Guys… i thought I was stuck on Chicago Deep Dish pizzas, but I really think I am addicted to this place. I’m so glad that I decided to go visit some friends of friends in the city, because I would have missed on this little treasure.
The pizza was huge and it was sausage. not that fake pizza hut or dominoes sausage. It was that crumbled, tasting straight out of «goodfellas» sausage.
I think I need to take trips out to Humbolt more often. I am superbly impressed.
Xtra Positive: We ordered the pizza LATE at night and they delivered!

My sister and I have ordered Pizza Metro a few times in the past and have always truly enjoyed the food. The crust is perfectly crispy and the toppings were generous. I would definitely recommend this place! Enjoy!

Pizza Metro West is the worst habit I picked up living in Humbolt Park. It’s so good, I can’t help myself sometimes. The pizza’s reasonably priced for how much you get and how good it is. Really any combo of anything you get is great. The crust is super thin and crispy and yummy. A lot of people rave about the potato rosemary, while potato on cheese and bread isn’t really my thing, but I can see the appeal of it to some. The delivery is always super quick and friendly, and never has trouble understanding how to ring my door bell.

I love Pizza Metro.
This location just recently opened and it currently serves the Logan Square delivery area (the location on Ashland used to deliver to this area). I have never been to a Pizza Metro restaurant but this is our go-​to pizza delivery.
The pizza is delicious — the crust is buttery and crisp and the toppings are always fresh and tasty. You can create a pizza any way you like (my favorite is spinach and goat cheese) or there are several ready-​to-​order options (like the standard pepperoni or margarita).
For our last delivery we decided to try suppli and potato crocchetta along with our pepperoni pizza — they were both amazing. Every pizza shop in Italy serves both suppli and crocchetta and they are always delicious. Suppli is a rice ball that is fried to deliciousness (sometimes meat, veggies or herbs are added for different flavor) and the crocchetta is similar but made with potatoes (and often different ingredients if there is a large variety of choices). They were both delicious but the suppli was definitely my favorite.
The delivery at the other locations seems faster. I don’t know if it’s that this location is different or we just ordered on a tough delivery night, but usually our pizza would come in about 20 minutes from the other locations (even if they said an hour) and this order took about 65 minutes (they estimated an hour so no big deal). Delivery is still obviously convenient and always friendly. My only real problem with Pizza Metro are their prices. This is definitely not delivery pizza on a budget (if you’re looking for cheap get Rosati’s or Pizza Hut). Metro is definitely pretty expensive for what it is. We don’t order often because of the price but it’s definitely worth having if you’re looking for great delivery pizza.

Great thin-​crust pizza on the crispy side. Just the right amount of cheese and the basil on the margarita half was good and fresh (the other half was pineapple which was average, nothing special).
I had take out, which is the way to go as the ambiance was definitely lacking inside. But it seemed like everyone was getting carryout anyway. Staff was friendly. We were quoted 15 minutes but it took more like 25 total. No big deal though.
If I’m in the area, I’ll be back.

This location is close enough to deliver to my house (for a double delivery fee at least). It has taken 4 years for me to find Non-​Chicago style pizza that will be delivered to my door. Yay!
The downside is that this pizza is «fresher», if you will, than the pizza from Pizza Metro 1. The bottom of my pizza from the original Pizza Metro is always crispy because it’s par-​baked and then baked again with toppings to order. West delivered to me a brand new crust that was almost white. I prefer the par-​baked/​double baked that you get from showing up and eating there.
But I really shouldn’t complain since it’s delivery and it’s still good.
I always order the Capricciosa (artichokes, black olives, ham).

«Our Roman Style Pizza is prepared from scratch, hand-​stretched and baked to order. Try the real Italian experience.»
This is their slogan, which I find REALLY funny. I went in there with a friend who didn’t want to have Puerto Rican food, so instead he decided to get a few slices of pizza. Well I went in here as he got his pizza and couldn’t believe what I saw. First of all, they had pre-​baked pizza dough that basically looked like cardboard. The old crust was covered in tomato sauce and then cheese and baked again. Now, I wouldn’t exactly call this prepared from scratch, nor was it hand-​stretched. Regardless, my friend got the pizza home, and the cheese must’ve been old, cause there were actually moldy looking green spots on the baked cheese. GROSS. So, not only was the crust like cardboard, but the che

The following is the advertisement running through my head whenever I think of Pizza Metro West and is in no way an actual deal that one could find at Pizza Metro West, more’s the pity.
That being said…
This week’s specials at Pizza Metro West include:
For carryout OR delivery, the «Your Stomach Will Thank You In Advance» special. This special is good for (1) one topping pizza at $ 2.00 off the menu price. Toppings include, but are not limited to; slightly burnt sausage, waxy cheese, extra layers of waxy cheese, sauce that could peel the skin off of District Attorney Harvey Dent’s face.
Included with your one topping discount pizza is a 20 oz. soft drink of your choice, and a 10-​pack of Immodium AD from the nearest drugstore. After consuming the pizza, just pop one of the Immodium AD pills and you’ll be right as rain.
Yeah, we know that our pizza fights its way back out of your stomach like a trapped cougar, but we give you a lot of it, so that’s cool.
Right?

It’s kind of unexpected to see yet another Pizza Metro location, but it’s closer to my house, so I’m not one to complain. Unlike the other Pizza Metro on Division, the phone guy here is not snarky towards me when I call, nor does he argue with me when I ask for it to be delivered (regular conversation at other Pizza Metro: Him: «But wouldn’t you rather pick it up? You can have it in 30 minutes instead of 45.» Me: –trying to accomplish a ‘slow burn’ over the phone-​)
Delivery is quick and prompt, and even the delivery guys are nice and don’t gripe about the hike up 3 floors to my apartment. The 4 cheese gnocchi was as wonderful as Ellen described and then some, the spaghetti and meatballs were a bit of a let down (sausage meatballs that weren’t mixed with ground beef were really dense and not that tasty), salads are tasty, and then, of course, there’s the pizza.
I usually stick to cheese or pepperoni pizza, but every variety that I’ve ordered from Pizza Metro is delicious, from sausage to veggie to my roommate’s favorite, rosemary chicken with garlic. It’s a bit pricier than your typical pizza joint, but I’m quite convinced there is magic in that crust. although I’m told it’s just olive oil that makes it result in the airy goodness. I’m the girl that usually goes straight for the middle pieces when eating pizza and leaves the crust on the side of my plate, but this is the only place that i will completely devour every last crumb. I had to invite a friend over last night to save me from myself as I had just ordered a half sheet (9″) pizza by my lonesome. and I knew I was fully capable of single-​handedly devouring it. Me and a hungry friend or two can put down a full sheet (18″) with relative ease.
The pizza here skews a bit towards gourmet, without being as expensive as the pizza places that actually are gourmet. However, when compared to most pizza in the area, these will run you a few dollars more. But it’s quite worth it. Give them a try.
