With an impressive selection of both deep dish and thin crust pizzas, any of the Chicago Fire locations in California are definitely worth a try. They even have stuffed crust pizza! If the pizza choices aren’t looking appealing, though, you can also build your own.

And if you don’t feel like eating pizza at all, they also have salads, sandwiches and burgers, pasta, and appetizers. The crowd favorite of these alternate options are the wings— Chicago Fire even has vegetarian friendly wings in the form of fried artichoke hearts!

This restaurant is open every day of the week from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., the perfect time window to grab dinner and drinks! After all, they also have a great drink menu here.

Both restaurants, though technically separate, are supported by GiftYa. The pizzeria also sells wings, fries, and salads. 

“I’m consistently pleased with the quality and value... The pies are huge, so you're going to have leftovers, and I'm glad to report this pizza holds up for the second day.” - Yelp Review
