What people say, in short
Labriola earns repeated recommendations for deep dish, with specific praise for the sausage and caramelized crust edges. One diner recommends ordering well done and avoiding too many vegetable toppings to keep the base crisper. Another likes the deep dish but finds the thin crust unimpressive, and one account of a group visit is negative.
