I was hungry and in the mood for Chicago style pizza. Normally, I would jump in the car and head down to Bixby and eat at Savastano's. But I was feeling particularly lazy and decided to search the internet for Chicago style pizza a little closer to my Midtown Tulsa home.
I saw that D'oro Pizza, less than a mile from me, claimed to be a "Chicago Style Pizzeria". A phone call to D'oro confirmed that they did, indeed, have Chicago style pizza. So I ordered one. I asked for a small. He said it would be $8.50 and be at my house in 30 minutes!
It actually only took about 20 minutes before the courteous delivery driver arrived at my door. He then informed me that they charged me for a small but went ahead and made me a medium because "the small is just so... small." I thanked him, tipped him, and sent him on his way.
My first inkling that something might be amiss: the box wasn't very heavy. Even the leftovers from a small Savastano's Chicago style pizza weigh about 3 metric tons, so I was concerned about what awaited me inside the box.
Just as I suspected... it was basically what amounts to a "hand tossed" pizza. Not even a particularly thick crusted hand tossed pizza. Some places might even call this "thin crust". I was disappointed. My dreams of having decent Chicago style in midtown had been crushed. Not since Little Chicago on 11th St. closed have I been able to enjoy my favorite style of pizza goodness without driving to the suburbs.
Deflated, but still hungry, I decided to dive in to this "regular ol' pizza". To my surprise, it wasn't bad. The crust had a good flavor. The sauce was also tasty. The pepperoni was.. pepperoni. It was a decent pizza, especially for eight and a half bucks.
If I was in the mood for thin or thin-ish crust pizza, I would go to Hideaway or Andolini's. But, if you want a cheap, no frills pizza from a locally owned place with courteous employee, D'oro is a good choice.
If they removed the term "Chicago Style" from their menu, I would bump them up to 4 stars.
