"They are known for their deep dish but it was the thin crust slices that made our night."
"Got the meat lovers deep dish and this was delicious!"
"The deep dish pizza is fabulous: quality toppings (for us was the meat lover so pepperoni, Italian beef, sausage) and the crust of the dough is amazing."
"First time ever having deep dish and this exceeded every expectation I had."
"The pizza was amazingly delicious especially for its crispy & crunchy crust and melty cheese."
"Deep dish very good. Particularly enjoyed the crust, not hard or soggy."
Cons:
"Our thin pizza had sesame sead sized gravel in it... complained to the server who said it was cornmeal."
"The cheese fries as an appetizer, which were honestly a disappointment - the cheese felt like it was haphazardly thrown on there and the cheese itself tasted like that powdered cheese in macaroni and cheese boxes."
"The ingredients - cheese & sauce - could've been fresher."
"I honestly thought this pizza was wack. Overpriced, mad saucy, not enough cheese, took too long, and seems overly pretentious in terms of the patrons."
"The only thing that’s disappointing was the little ingredients inside, which was not enough for us."
"The day I went I was served with undercooked dough with very good quality toppings."
"The pizza is just . . Not flavorful."

"The service was good. Waiter was friendly and helpful."
"The staff were friendly and had conversations with us till we waited for the pizza."
"Helpful and friendly staff."
"Friendly, knowledgeable servers, fantastic food and great ambiance makes for an intimate and delicious dining experience."
Cons:
"It's so inauthentic that it feels like taking advantage of people expecting an authentic Chicago experience."
"Service seems a bit better than last time but the young dude is really forgetful given he is in his 20s!"
"The check arrive wrong, they charge us a more expensive wine that the one we ask for and a 10% covid recovery fee (they don’t measure temperature, overcapacity and no sanitizer)."
"Really disappointed with our visit to Emmett's last week due to poor service and cold/raw food."
"Came to pick up an order for delivery and the employees at the front desk are super rude, not friendly and racist."
"The staff was awfully rude, they told us the wait was an hour but we waited an hour and a half."
"While I was paying and leaving a tip, he was again rude, sighing loudly."
Atmosphere

Cons:
"The restaurant is a little snug for me and my claustrophobic."
"So crowded that I could barely get in."
"The place is a tucked away and a bit small but don't let the location fool you."
"Most small places are loud, and Emmett's is no exception."
"My main gripe with this place is the lighting. It's dim, too dim for my liking."
"Sitting in a small cramped cold restaurant in SoHo waiting 45 minutes for Chicago pizza is a lot to ask for."
"It's also very tight in the main store. Feels like there are too many tables."
