| Chicago Style Pizza - Not Really |
This year, the convention offered very few choices for sustenance. Choosing the lesser of several evils, I ordered a piece of pizza and a diet Coke. Now I know some of you are thinking, hey, you are in Chicago, home of the famous Chicago style pizza. It has to taste fabulous right? It's Chicago!
Well, as you can see, this piece of pizza had absolutely no style. The only positive was that the pizza was warm. Not hot, but warm. heat lamps were doing their job that day. The crust was flat, a little doughy, and bland. The cheese was present, and that's all I have to say about the cheese. The sauce, well, there was red and orange fluid on the pizza which I guess could substitute for pizza sauce. The taste, well, it was filling and curbed my hunger allowing me to photo more sexy Halloween models in skimpy costumes. The cost, $5 dollars. Per slice. To put that in perspective, an 8 slice pizza would cost $40 dollars.
The Grassy Knoll Diner scores 1.5 out of 5 shots and under regular circumstances would never recommend this pizza. However, with very few food options inside the convention center, we recommend Chicago's Rosemont Convention pizza for lunch.

That pizza looks like it came straight from the oven of Chef Boyardee… At least the cheese doesn’t look hard.

That is giving Chef Boy-Ar-Dee a bad name.

Agreed, but inside the building, and needing a $10 dollar cab ride to any other restaurant, it is the only game in town, and they know it.

This is the most soulless pizza I’ve ever seen. Apart from the “pizza” they serve at Warsaw Central train station…

And that was for a plain cheese pizza. No toppings. It was ruddy outrageous.

The center should be ashamed to offer such shit to customers.

They can care less. You are not permitted to bring food into the facility and it takes to much time to leave for lunch. You really have no choice but to eat the convention food. To be fair, there are other food selections at the convention. They do have pre-made sandwiches, hot dogs, pretzels. The only problem is with the sandwiches, I see them put out at 8:30 am and they sit for hours. I don’t know how the mayo holds up.
