I don't really want to reopen the Great Zelda's Debate, but look at this review. And this guy created a yelp account just to write this?! I wish someone did have a picture of the pizza there, also, because it looks fucking delicious.
Stores that sell cheap computer packages should have the good sense to remove the caps lock key from the keyboard.
I told a friend of mine who's new to town the other day that the service at Zelda's was shit, then I amended it to say that it wasn't shit, but just kind of a bad fart. I then went on about the vitues of the actual pizza itself. Yes, it's very different from your traditional pizza, but it's still so good! That guy doesn't know Chicago style. I know Zelda's is pretty off the map for Chicago style as it is, but as far as how the top of the pizza looks, other than the crust, it looks pretty much like how a Chicago pizza should look.
We didn't end up going, but since we went and had Thai instead, and my friend ended up getting sick from it (which was probably a fluke, since I had some of his food, and I was fine), maybe we should have.
There's a new Yelp review on Zelda's pizza. it's PRO Zelda's.
People are waaaay to demanding about service. They all want to be pampered. people who get their eyebrows waxed or get fake tans probably arent going to like Zelda's pizza. Right JoshRyker?
Another longtime Zelda's customer. When I lived around the corner on O St. in the 1980s, I gained like 50 pounds. I can understand that Zelda's pie isn't everyone's manna, but for me, it's on my top 10 Sacto delicacies, along with a Steak Frenchburger with cheese at Nationwide, a falafel at Maalouf's, a hoagie at Italian Importing Co. and Bisteak Chicana Picosa at 524 Club (among some other stuff, like pho at PK Noodle 3, Chinese food at Shanghai Garden, etc., etc.).
These people just don't know service. Anyone who goes into Zelda's and expects friendly and cheerful service is in the wrong joint. Being abused by the waitress is part of the whole Zelda's experience. While the staff is often a bit surly and brief, they make it up where it counts: they get my order right, are quick with drink refills even if I'm being a cheapass and only order water, and they don't get on my nerves with ingratiating TQM-inspired platitudes.
I would be pretty damn disappointed if I ever walked in and a cheerful young thing with no visible tattoos bounced up and exclaimed "Welcome to Zelda's! I'm Mandy and it's my pleasure to be your server this evening!"
From the shittiness observed from reading that negative review, I wouldn't be too surprised if the Zelda's staff sensed that reviewer's shitty attitude immediately, and ran down the street to Pieces' dumpster and gave them a discarded patchouli pie instead.
That's what I was thinking... The challenge of getting on the good side of the waitress there is half the fun. Not to mention that I like to frequent a business where the employees aren't required to kiss customer ass all day. ---------Whaus

And it's writ by that omf feller...
I admit it. That idiot shitfuck from 95818 drove me to create a yelp account just to write a review to supplant his from the top spot.
Pardon me, now, I've got to go back to yelp and give Be Bold Brave Robot negative 5 stars.
And yet another pro Zelda's review pops up, this time by someone named Christopher O. It must be that "other" old timey feller...

i prefer my food with a good side of abuse.
amanda
yeah... and abuse is always better with food.
I confess. I found a new way to get me ego stroked/run over. Somebody stop me.
I like your reviews. Keep it up. Now I know the deal with the Bolt and I don't have to go there to find out.
Oh, you'd be brilliant at the Bolt. They'd love you.
shhhh....no one knows about my giant cock.
