Emmett's

I first came to this place as part of an NYC pizza tour and a few months later came again with friends. This place is known for it's deep dish pizza (or so the tour guide said) and so we ordered a deep dish pie. Somehow, despite the large amounts of cheese and dough, it wasn't overly filling and doesn't put you into a food coma. Everything about it is absolutely delicious, from the sauce to the cheese to the perfect crust. If you're a true pizza enthusiast, you MUST try this place at some point in your life.

This place is very small and has a homey feel to it, the employees are friendly and make you feel welcome. There are only about 4 tables so if you're coming with a large group, I would consider calling in advance because this place just isn't built to accommodate large groups. But that's part of it's charm, in my opinion. Will definitely be back for more next time I'm in the area.

This is the best pizza I have ever had hands down. Better than Di Fara, Grimaldi's, Luzzos, Juliana's, Lou Malnati's, Giordano's, and Keste by large margins in every case. Anyone rating under 5 stars is probably upset about other things in their world. I mean Dan Grandon definitely sucks at life, and nobody cares about the lettuce on your greek salad Sean. Get a pizza or go to the Whole Foods snack bar w/ your diet. Additionally- give me a break Gary, it's not like you had anything better to do with your life in those 45 min, deep-dish takes a while to be cooked and prepared properly. Aleeda- please consult an English teacher STAT before trying to have your post taken seriously again. Thank you.

I fail to see the hype with this place. Considering the reviews we expected a lot more and left disappointed. If it wasn't for the fact that the bartender was good I would have given it a 1. Yes, I know that's harsh but hear me out for a moment. The crust on Emmett's pizza practically fell apart. It was very thin and there was a ton of sauce below the extra cheese we ordered which basically made it a sloppy mess. And when I say a ton it's practically all there was. Just a lot of soupy sauce with cheese and pepperoni in a pan. It tasted fine but it's not what we expected at all.

[Service]: It takes a long time to make a pizza here. You have your usual wait, plus the 45m-1h wait on top of making your pizza. I think something that could really improve on their wait time is to get the order from people that are waiting and charge the order first, having their pizza ready to go by the time they're seat would really help and get more customers through the door.

[Food]: I really liked the ingredients they used, but the pizza was a little more soupy than I would have liked. I have mixed feelings on the crust. It is good, but it is so HARD. I really like the way Giordano in Chicago does the crust. I think Emmetts can take their game to the next level if they tried to emulate that.

[Decor]: This place is small, maybe 5 or 6 tables maximum. There is some bar seating, but that's also small as well. There's a large mirror in the middle, and some christmas-like wire lighting.

[Atmosphere]: Most small places are loud, and Emmett's is no exception.

Just a cool ass bar with amazingly tasty food, great selection of beers, superb wine and cool staff. Cheers,
