The sausage had fennel and slightly spicy and was the same sausage you would get in Chicago. Normally Chicago pizza has the toppings underneath the cheese and it's cut into squares though not triangles. They use a butter crust that had a nice depth of flavor so it was probably fermented a day or so. Usually you need to have the dough rise on its own to get that flavor.
However having the veggies on top kept the crust nice and crispy on the bottom. Def will be trying the deep dish next time.

I reserved the private room at SJC for my son’s rehearsal dinner (Nov 2023) and couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience. From reserving the room, to picking the food, to help with my set-up, the staff..everything was on point. Great people. Very reasonably priced and food was delicious! I highly recommend them.

Gotta rave about this restaurant.
I have been trying to find good Chicago style deep dish pizza in California for 23 years and found it here, quite by accident.
My Wife and I both are originally from Chicago, and we are very familiar with what makes a good, no, great deep dish pizza. This place got it right!
We split a small size, with only Italian sausage (good quality sausage too), we started off with the regular size Italian chopped salad. This was plenty of food for us both and probably too much for a couple of average eaters.
The staff was courteous and helpful, very professional. The restaurant was clean and very pleasant, with windows open to the sidewalk and an outdoor patio. There is a full bar which features a happy hour menu. The restrooms were well maintained, clean and fully stocked. Service was quick.
The price for all this was not bad either! We had two iced teas as well, and the bill, with tax, came out to just $36.96! About what you would pay for a couple of burgers in a casual dining restaurant.
All in all, I, we highly recommend this restaurant and will be coming back again.

I took the Metrolink from Pasadena, to try out this place. I saw Selma’s by accident while checking out what to eat around the mission. Their Chicago-pizza is what I expected; DELICIOUS! pictured is a vegetable pizza with added pepperoni.😋They also have a good choice of local beer on tap.🍺 I will definitely come for the food , beer, and ambiance…
