Little Italy's Pizza - Mount Carmel

I have just stomached all I could of the 6” Chicken Parmesean sandwich. This sandwich consisted of plain, seemingly unseasoned chicken breast, perhaps some mozzarella cheese (I could not discern any actual cheese taste or texture), two finger-sized peppers that I was not informed of prior to purchase, and some type of bread slathered in pasta sauce. If I recall correctly, the paper menu, which lacked prices as far as I could tell lest I had temporarily fallen selectively blind, listed the bread as Italian. I could not confirm or deny that claim as this sandwich seems to have been dropped into a vat of red sauce before it was wrapped in tinfoil and given to me in exchange for real, human money that I worked for and was using to sustain myself. There is more sauce OUTSIDE the sandwich than betwixt the pieces of sopping, saucy bread. Nowhere on the menu does it warn the customer that what you will actually be buying is a sandwich encased in an orb of red, Italian goo. If the intention was to mask the inclusion of the dryest, most bland, hockey-puck-esque piece of chicken on God’s green Earth, this sandwich failed. I only choked down the first half of the sandwich because I am a firm believer in not wasting food, but this sandwich calls into question the very definition of “food”. I would not give this to my dog. Granted, I do not currently own a dog and would not give any of the spices in an average pizza sauce to a dog if I did own one, but this sandwich speaks for itself. At least, I fear it might start to. The only positive aspect about this sandwich is that my hunger-fueled hubris was limited by this sandwich only being available in 6” portions, meaning I will be using less gasoline to rid myself of this cursed “food” item. I also ordered the mozzarella sticks and some cheese sauce and was surprised when my meal total came to over $20, as I was expecting an appetizer-sized portion of cheese sticks dipped in breadcrumbs and then fried to go along with my “sandwich”. I was surprised when I found a pizza-sized, sectioned circle of bread and cheese in my ownership, however this time the surprise was pleasant as I am a cheese enthusiast of sorts. This would almost make up for the lack of cheese in my atrocity of a “sandwich”, but upon consumption the bread feels as if it has sat out too long and the food item as a whole was practically absent of ANY flavor, even with the assistance of the almost-equally-flavorless cheese sauce. This food item, at least, I will be able to stomach with another meal or two once I have properly seasoned it. The restaurant looked fine and the person working register was nice though.

The food was delicious especially the ribs! However the place could benefit from adding a kid's menu for if families aren't ordering pizza.

We are from Chicago in town to visit sick aunt. Stopped here to eat. Pizza was delicious. Best tasting pizza ever

It puts the lotion on it's skin or it gets the hose again!

The Chicago style deep dish pizza was good, probably the best Chicago style pizza south of Chicago.
