Steve Dolinsky’s Pizza City Fest Chicago Falters for Second-Straight Year | Eater Chicago

"After being moved to a location with reliable power, the vendor was able to operate while watching many peers struggle; the proprietor described growing anxiety about the event’s execution, called the overall festival atmosphere “off,” and collaborated on-site with a local deli to serve attendees." - Ashok Selvam

What a great little spot for lunch specials. My mini anti-pasta was more filling than expected. I loved the individual "slice" I ordered. The flavors were perfect and the sauce was delicious and the crispy edges. I ordered togo and had great phone and in person service!

Almost ordered Papa John’s but decided to try something local while visiting. Delivery to the KOA was fantastic. Photos of what was delivered speak for themselves!

The pizza is amazing! Chef's kiss! We sat and waited for 20 minutes and not a single person would make eye contact with us when we got there. And the service didn't get any better from there. I'm hoping they were just having a rough night. If I decided to eat here again I'd order takeout. The pizza is definitely with it!

You guys need to change your photos. Ordered a deep dish pizza. Apparently they don't come with pepperoni even though the photo shows the Pepperoni's? Show it as a cheese pizza then if that's the case. Ridiculous. Never ordering from here again.

I... guess I'm not sure what I expected, maybe a 4.2-star experience? I got take-out this Saturday and was excited to try a new pizza place (especially one with Detroit-style deep dish! It's been too long since I had some good crispy-edge square pizza!) and was beyond disappointed; shocked even. Garlic bread was... practically dry? You can see how little butter it actually got. The pizza lacked the signature Detroit crispy edges and the dough was flat, the cheese very rubbery (and why is the cheese so yellow/orange? Pizza cheese should be white!) The toppings looked like they had been scattered on post-bake rather than before it... Was just completely underwhelming. All-in-all completely not worth the price, and now I'm more worried about food poisoning than any kind of satiation.

This was the best deep dish we’ve ever had! Perfect crunchy crust, soft middle, yummy and saucy, but not messy. I also really enjoyed the antipasta salad. Simple and just what you expect. The ambiance has this vintage divey vibe and it really feels like you go back in time when you’re in there. Definitely coming back to this place for many years to come. YUM.

Absolutely 💯 the best Italian food and pizza in town. Service is amazing and delivery is right on time if not earlier than expected. Always HOT AND FRESH!!

The pizza here is fantastic, I'm not wild about the salad or bread sticks... but the pizza is great. I have been a repeat customer and would order again and give a higher rating BUT: They just switched to grub hub only for delivery and no longer deliver it themselves. I don't want to use Grub Hub, or give them my CC info, or pay too much for delivery. I just want to call for a pizza and pay the driver CASH when it gets here. I wont be calling in any more orders because I wont be using Grub Hub. You just lost a customer!

This pizza spot is pretty darn good, although it's pretty basic. I've been to Junct'n Square Pizza a couple times now, and it's becoming a must-stop when I'm out in the GJ area. My aunt first took me here, because they offer a GF pie; and it's pretty darn good! What I really love about Junct'n Square is they are attentive, clean, kind, and try their best to adhere to GF needs. I also love that their large GF is actually a decent size, at a decent price. If you need a GF meal, they will make efforts to prepare it as such, and won't roll their eyes at you in the process. The rest of the family doesn't need GF, so they always order the Square Meal Deal. The anti-pasta salad is big, and is perfect to share with the whole table. It's also GF, so I can partake, too. It's also a basic salad, but again tasty. The pizzas are always cheesy (both GF and regular), saucy, and hot and fresh. There's nothing here that I would say, makes this place a mind-blowing foodie experience, but it's 100% satisfying, fresh, affordable, welcoming, and an all around win. Thanks Junct'n Square Pizza for offering a tasty, affordable, and sizable GF pie! I look forward to getting my pie on again soon.

At the time of this review the place had 3.6 stars on yelp. It's hard to believe because the pizza tasted great overall. And the customer service was also awesome.

Place a has been around forever. For me it's just ok. This was first time we dined in. The servers were good. Food was ok. $80 before tip. We got anti pasta, breadsticks, small pizza, one fettuccine and one kids size pizza. Dinner for 4 with some leftovers Please note they have their own fenced parking lot but we couldn't utilize the handicap spot for my grandmother. It's inaccessible as you can see in the photo.

Concerned management! If the customer has a Valid Complaint..work hard to fix the issue. We ordered a deep dish pizza with 3 ingredients. The chicken was almost non-existent! The manager brought out microwaved dried chicken to put on pizza. Disgusting!

Apparently it's been around for a long time, but all I know is that we were looking to murder some pizza after a day of hiking and square deep dish pizza seemed like the right choice. It's not a true deep dish--this is served up in a metal casserole dish type tray and cut to squares, but it's not the cheesed-up, sauced-out version you'd get in Chicago. It's a little more Detroit style, which was fine by me. We got the meal for two, and antipasti salad and a small pizza. The salad is a pretty basic salad based, but then topped with meats and cheeses in generous portions. We chose plain old pepperoni as the topping which was 100% the right call. It's plenty bready, still very cheesy, and my only quibble is that it probably could have taken 2 more minutes in the oven. All that dough needed just a couple more mins to finish baking and not be so doughy. Not in a bad way, just maybe that soft of doughy top is not everyone's favorite. It's located right in old Grand Junction near the very adorable Main Street, so it's a great stop for anyone in town, for a mid-shopping lunch or dinner, or just an easy bite when you're hankering for some pizza.

While in town for a weekend trip, we decided to try this place out...it was a great decision. They have a wonderful salad and the service was fantastic, it's got a good vibe and of course the pizza was excellent. Fun little place!

We have lived in GJ since 1980 and have been a faithful fan of Jct Sq. Pizza. Lately our favorite menu item has been the Square Meal Deal because it is a great salad and pizza combo. Jct Sq Pizza has never failed to make it a good deal for us. I would say since 1980 we have probably had at least 100 meals at Jct Square. Today we just got back home after a strenuous day of travel and I called at 7:25 to order the Square Meal Deal for take out. The snippy and totally unpleasant person that answered the phone informed me they no longer did take out after 7:30. I inquired as to the current time (honest it was7:25) and she informed it was too late. No way possible to place a take out order. I begged and promised to pick up before 8:00. But no go. So we went elsewhere with great results. I highly recommend Dorio's on North Ave. They were pleasant and the pizza and antipasto salad was awesome even though I couldn't get there before 8:15 they did a fine job. Sorry Junction Square. Never again. You suck. I would rate no stars if. possible. I don't Reeser e that kind of disrespect.

If you are looking for a true deep dish pizza or "AKA" Detroit style pizza you have one choice in GJ and that is Junction Square Pizza. The crust is amazing. This is my go to for take out pizza. But they do have a great out door seating around, after we get through the 100's temperature in the summer time. Late summer, fall and spring are great times to be outside with an amazing deep dish pizza.

We had a great experience the first time we ate here. We ordered pizza and was very satisfied with quality and service. The second time we went there it was quite the opposite. My husband had lasagna and I ordered the spaghetti with meatballs. The lasagna was okay but the spaghetti and meatballs were disappointing. The marinara was good, the meatballs were poor quality. They tasted like the ones you can get in the store in the frozen food section. For the price that we were charged I totally expected homemade meatballs. I haven't decided if I'm going back yet., Definitely not eating meatballs! the floors were somewhat dirty, especially after the server wiped everything from the table onto the floor, including a piece of pizza and then never picked it up. I just hope their kitchen isn't as bad as the front looked.

My friend and I wanted to try this place out, it exceeded our expectations by so much! The food was scrumptious and the service was phenomenal. Our server was this lovely girl, I believe her name was Hannah. She was very attentive, kind, funny and had fantastic customer service. I definitely recommend coming here!

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. But, lots of great pizza in the area, so I only now got there for lunch. First, I want to commend the servers - both were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Because I always am hungry and pizza takes a little while, I ordered a salad and a half order of bread sticks with marinara sauce. You have 3 salad choices: Antipasta (sic), Vegetarian antipasta, or Andy's Ultimate Antipasta Salad. The Andy's has additions of pepperoni, ham, olives, tomatoes, green peppers and olives to the basic version (with tomatoes and salami). The bread sticks were disappointingly doughy to me. Like the accompanying marinara sauce, not horrible, but not compelling. Still - they come fast and are something to munch on while eating (a half order is 3 bread sticks and a full is 6). The Andy's Ultimate Antipasta Salad has gotten such good reviews (on-line and from family) and I was looking forward to it. We shared a small (there are 4 sizes, starting at mini and going to large). Looking at it, I was happy - lots of meat chopped small, good crisp lettuce and veggies, and a circle of pepperoni around the bowl. We were given tongs to serve ourselves and a little pitcher of an Italian-esque dressing. Everything was SO cold that there was no discernible flavor. Might be better as a take out. And definitely needed some acid - either some pepperoncini peppers or a sharper dressing. To me it was bland. They did one really good thing - they layered the ingredients through the salad, they were not just plopped on top. By this time, I didn't have high hopes for the pizza. We had ordered the small deep-dish square version with additions of sausage and green peppers. I was aware they serve a "Detroit" style deep dish (as opposed to the VERY different Chicago or Sicilian styles). I liked it. The edges had climbed up the sides just a little, giving some very thin tendrils of cheese and dough that almost felt fried to a crunch. The pizza dough was tender, but chewy (probably the same as the bread sticks, but it works better here). The toppings were not generous - the sausage was nicely sprinkled over the top, but the green pepper was one sliver per slice. I wanted more. But, all in all, I liked the chew of this pie and I loved the fact that the tomato sauce was ladled over the top. Nice moistness. Also the pizza was not overly cheesy, which is a huge plus to me. Felt light, but satisfying. I had been wishing that they had a "deluxe" or "special" version instead of having to get a plain pizza and add ingredients. When I asked (later), I was told that they do have one. But, on their menu, it is listed under "House Specials" below a pasta combination meal. And, it isn't called out as pizza - just as a small or large Special. Hmm. Menu could use work - there is no definition of what the salads are composed of, what the style of pizza is, and how big the sizes of salads or appetizers are. Ambiance is clean and modern. There are 2 levels - lower has booths and small tables, upper has tables. Nothing really to look at here, though. The restrooms are very clean and have nice decor. There is a small outside dining area for the summer. Beer and wine are available (and they include New Belgium beers). So, I'm saying A-OK. Probably go back for the deep dish again sometime. Or try one of their well priced lunch deals. Glad I went.

I picked up my first order today. The restaurant has great atmosphere. The staff that I encountered were courteous and had a great customer service attitude. The pizza is pretty darn good. I was not satisfied with the antipasto salad. A medium sized antipasto salad cost a little over $15 so I was expecting a traditional antipasto salad. Turned out to be around 2lbs of iceberg lettuce with a very minimal amount of toppings that only included a little cheese, diced ham and tomatoes. Not traditional , which would add olives, pepperoncinis, pepperoni, artichoke hearts and more cheese. If you are a fan of antipasto then you will more than likely be disappointed with the cost and the fact that it is an overpriced and under topped garden salad. In short; k will return for pizza but no antipasto salad orders.

This place has sold me on deep dish. We usually do a lunch date here very few weeks. Everyone is always so nice and polite. Love the patio, but not as much as the deep dish!

Service and Ambiance was good. I came for the antipasto but wasn't that impressed as the lettuce was the white inner portion of the iceberg lettuce. Pizza was deep dish done good. Overall, average food.

I forgot to take a picture! This pie was delicious! Crispy edges and crust, not at all mushy! Sauce was on the sweet side! I will definitely go again next time we are in Grand Junction!

Sandra M.

Definitely not the quality we are used to. In all the years we have been going to Junction Square this was the worst pizza we have ever had. First the order was wrong we asked for a large thin crust mushroom pizza with half pepperoni and half ham. The sauce was on top of the pizza like an afterthought. It has never been made like this. The salad was enough far a small army. I asked for a salad that would feed 2. I was given a medium which feeds a whole lot more than 2. The salad was good as usual, but was a very disappointing and expensive meal.

Ed A.

Yelp
It needs to go back to its roots. So good back in the 80's. Takes forever to get food. At least have the salad come out at a decent time. There should be 2 people at the desk. One for takeout and one for seating. I know, you can't even get servers . I get it. The one in the bowling alley is the worst. I'd rather have Chuck E. Cheese.

Greg S.

Yelp
Their pizza is good. It's well cooked, but nothing outstanding about it. . We had a salad that was very good and big enough for 2 people to share. Overall the price was a little high for the meal that we had. We will try it again.

This is the first place I beg my mom to go for lunch or dinner anytime I visit home. I associate Junction Square with home and when I lived in Denver, I used to get large antipasto salads to go every time I went home for a weekend and eat them for the next week. Yes, I now live in Chicago and everyone says I'm so lucky to get such great pizza here, but frankly, I'll take Junction Square over any Chicago pizza any day. First, the square pizza corners are fantastic. I really like how they get crispy. They are buttery and delicious. Second, the antipasto salad is incredible. Meat, cheese, and lettuce? Yes please. I usually mix ranch and Italian for my dressing- both are great. Service when dining in can be spotty, but I'm never in a rush so I really don't care.

Yelp
NO! After a disappointing initial visit we decided to try it again as were were going to an event at the Avalon theater. They did not disappoint as the food was just as mediocre as before. The pizza was awful with just a little sauce and about as tasty at the take-out box they provide. The last time I was there I ordered a calzone that was pretty dry so upon request they served me a 1oz plastic cup of marinara and charged 75 cents for a penny's worth of bland canned sauce. The "deep dish" pizza we had on our first visit was basically a loaf of white bread lightly dusted with some kind of red sauce and some cheese. If they served that in Chicago the owners would have been taken out in the alley and shot. A FROZEN PIZZA FROM A GAS STATION IS BETTER THAN THIS PLACE! Three strikes you're out.

I love this place so much. It's my go to spot for lunch or dinner when I visit family in Grand Junction. The restaurant has been fully renovated and looks good, though the plates and cups need updated now. The family always gets a medium antipasta salad that is a crisp bed of shredded iceberg lettuce, topped with tiny diced cubes of cheese, ham, salami and tomatoes all served with a creamy Italian dressing. I always say that's satisfying where I don't need pizza, but who am I kidding!?! The deep dish Detroit style pizza has crispy edges and is the perfect amount of cheese and sauce. The thin round pizza is good but a deep dish is a must have! Eat well, tip well and enjoy.

Austin G.

Yelp
The people here were nice and efficient, that's where it ends. Anyone who enjoys this pizza must not have taste buds. We did the meal for two, a small pizza and antipasto salad. The pizza was worse than any chains pizza I ever had, the pathetic excuse for a salad was translucent Romain with cheap Oscar Meyer style meat and cheese. I honestly wouldn't serve this pizza to my enemy. Sorry, not sorry.

It used to be the best anti-pasta salad, amazing. I just picked up a med salad and pizza. $20 for a medium salad, pile of week old lettuce with very little meat and cheese, crazy. What happened? Never again. To top it off they now add onions, grrr, I hate onions.

My boys and I had the calzone and antipasta salad lunch special my wife had the spaghetti and antipasta special. Antipasta salad was very generous with the ham and salami. The special was the mini size which was more than enough. Can't imagine how big the other sizes are. The spaghetti was very good. The calzone crust and marinara sauce were excellent. Only negative was the toppings in the calzones were a little sparse but still overall very good taste and excellent value for the price.

My friend and I met for lunch on Saturday. It was pretty busy. I had a deep dish pizza with 3 toppings. It was a little on the not-so-deep side, but it was actually really good that way. I got what I ordered and it was tasty! My friend got a slice and salad. She really enjoyed hers, too. Our waitress, Hayley M, was terrific. She was very friendly and attentive. She was working hard, too!

Tiny portions, And a salad dressing made by mixing three dressings straight off the shelf at your grocery store together and serving it over iceberg lettuce. I have been coming here for decades, and it has never been worse. A restaurant that has not served the test of time.

This is one of the unsung GJ restaurants which definitely deserves an honorable mention. If you are a yankee food purist or Jersey Shore aficionado you should probably pass this place by. I personally think the pizza is great, although it is certainly Mid-West Americana style. The crust is very... different. Very bread-like and moist. But moreso than the pizza and "antipasto" salad, you may be able to to catch a glimpse of a rare Camaro-Mulleted Western Slope Hesher. Thought to have been driven to extinction in the early 1990's, one of this rare breed can be seen exhibiting the beautiful mating dance of it's genus: head-banging, making the "secret devil sign" with his outstretched fist and unabashedly playing air guitar to Poison, Motley Crue or even the much besmirched Cinderella. This particular specimen sports the tell-tale Farrah Fawcett plumage, skull ring, hairbrush in the back pocket of his skin-tight black jeans and sweet-ass velcro shoes. Just observe and appreciate. Please don't spook him, or we may lose one of God's special gifts to mankind.

The new updated decor makes a very positive impression - its bright, fresh, clean and welcoming. The pizza is unbelievably overpriced. And both times I have chosen to spend my money there, I was made to feel like an inconvenience. The first time I visited, there was not one single customer there on a Tuesday afternoon, and I was greeted with an irritated sigh and a demand for my order. I asked to see a menu and then the employee walked away. After nearly 10 minutes, I had to go back to the kitchen area saying "hello? Hello?" feeling very foolish to track someone down to place my order. I did give this restaurant one more chance and it was another unsatisfactory experience. Its not that the food is bad, but the unjustifiably high prices combined with the subpar service leaves me looking for pizza elsewhere.

I just had a great experience with Gandy and wanted to share. I ordered food over the phone for my family who have a hospice patient at home and he was so kind and accommodating to my special circumstance (I live out of state) and delivery instructions. I know sometimes special instructions can be frustrating but Gandy handled everything with a positive attitude and made the day for our family go a little easier. I am very pleased with how easy it was to order, pay and get my family lunch. Thank you! This has always been one of my favorite places to eat, quality food and quality people! They loved the salad and pizza.

Disclaimer: I grew up in the area and was a young adult here, and now live in Utah, so getting my Junct'n Square fix only occurs annually for me, so I'm biased to love it. Well, the antipasta salad anyway. The antipasta salad (or is it antipasto? As the menu has it spelled both ways...) is extreme comfort food for me. I've loved it since my first experience as a teenager. Simple ingredients (iceberg lettuce, ham, salami, mozzarella cheese, and of course tomatoes) topped with the thickest, zestiest, woefully unhealthy yet wonderful Italian dressing you'll ever have in your life. We tried to emulate this salad at pot-lucks by using a Kraft brand from the grocery store (and, of course, *not* the light version), which gets you about 60% there, but it's just not the same. Additionally, the way they "cube" all of the ingredients is part of the magic. As for the pizza, I would say it's an acquired style (the crust is too doughy for some), although I've never been a big fan of it...I'd rate it "average." I've never had any of their pasta. Five stars for the salad, three for the pizza. So here's what you do if you're staying in a hotel...you order an antipasta salad as take out, and pair it with some Papa John's pizza back at your room. We did that last night, and I'm still craving more salad. I could probably eat a medium one by myself. Seriously. We did eat in the restaurant last year, and I noticed a twist on the salad - "Andy's style" - which adds more pizza topping ingredients. I didn't go for that version then, but am going to try it next time.

Some pretty harsh reviews for a place that's actually pretty good! I'd give the pizza a 3.5. The crust is thick and buttery, the sauce has a good flavor, and the ingredients that top it are fresh. Plus it's always baked really well. The antipasta salad is worth mentioning--topped with a heaping mound of salami and a good Italian dressing. The place has undergone great upgrades inside and out and looks a lot more modern and clean nowadays. This place only earns an overall 3 to me because it's pricey, the menu options are limited, and I can't order water here (their tap water desperately needs a filter; it's terrible, and no amount of lemon juice has ever made it better.)

Visiting family and we were looking forward to a nice pizza. The servers were nice, but pizza was burned and tasteless. The anti pasta salad was very nice. Would recommend the place only for salad and then you're better off going somewhere else for pizza. We won't go back.

Only ate here once driving through Colorado, but I thought it was a great spot. I had the calzone which was epic. 5 stars. My wife had a alfredo pasta with chicken. Pretty dang good. 4 stars. Kids had spaghetti. Okay, but nothing to write home about. 3 stars. Prices were great, I would love to try out more things on their menu. For now, 4 stars.
