What people say, in short
Danny's on College draws recommendations for Chicago tavern-style, cracker-crust pizza rather than deep dish. The clam pie has more than one fan, and a visitor recommends the sit-down setting alongside salads and cocktails. Critics find some pizzas underwhelming or burnt, with the Cacio Pepe drawing particularly mixed reactions. One repeat visitor would not reorder that pie and thinks the restaurant has better options. The overall support is positive, but neither the style nor every order suits everyone.
