[SUBJECT: Patxi's Chicago Pizza in Hayes Valley]
[WARNING: the following review reflects the opinions of a highly biased, former Chicagoan]
No.
A spinach and mushroom deep-dish pie:
Mediocre sauce. In Chicago, the only place you would expect to find sauce like that is at the pizza place in terminal C of the O’hare airport.
Watery spinach, and not nearly enough of it.
Were there even any mushrooms? In 3 slices, I found 2.
The crust, though, is the defining feature of this pizza. Take two California-style thin crusts, smoosh together, roll out into a thicker crust, and put it in a deep dish pan. That’s all it takes, right?
No.
Overall, Paxti’s isn’t disgusting, it’s just… wrong. I’ll give one extra star for immediate seating, and the service, which was pretty good.
But I’ll take away that star for being the force behind the eventual demise of Powell’s Place. I’d much rather have good chicken ‘n’ waffles at this location than airport-food-court-quality pizza.
Sorry.
