Editorial Review for Patxi's Chicago Pizza – by Daniel Liszt
The Scene
Families and couples on dates relax at wood tables in this one-room restaurant with high ceilings. Soft jazz bounces off an exposed-brick wall that's decorated with artsy photos. Flat-screen TVs and picture windows provide additional diversion.
The Food
Patxi's earned a reputation in Palo Alto for not-too-rich deep-dish. The tradition lives on in SF. Starters include salads, like a Greek that's piled with chunky cucumbers, bell peppers, diced feta and pitted kalamata olives. Groups waiting for a deep-dish pie to bake should start with an extra-thin, crunchy-crust pizza, such as the light and tasty spinach with pesto. Fans of spongy whole-wheat crust might like the low-fat-cheese Californian. However, the pizza de resistance is the Special. When ordered Chicago-style, its firm yet flaky crust curls over the stuffed pie like an ocean wave. Beneath a top coating of sweet house tomato sauce, thin layers of dough blanket mozzarella, sausage, green peppers and mushrooms.

We ordered 2 pizzas (thin crust Hawaiian and deep dish Favorite). The Hawaiian's crust's texture was like a biscuit (not pizza crust) and was not thin crust by any means. The deep dish was ok, but no better than Zachary's pizza in the East Bay. The real deal killer was the service though. We knew beforehand the pizza would take a while, but first of all when we decided not to have the onions on the Hawaiian we were charged for 3 toppings instead of 2 (it doesn't take a genius to figure out it only had 2 toppings) and we were offered a box while we were in the middle of eating dinner (as if they were trying to get rid of us). The place was not even full at the time either.
