The staff absolutely HATES each other. Nothing like watching staff tell each other to "F-off" and just scream at one another in general. I was told by my friend who was at one time a regular there (and a huge fan of the place) that I missed the real good fight while I was in the bathroom. She went on to say that when Zelda was alive, she use to come out and be a real pistol as well. I guess crap rolls downhill, and keeps on rolling after people die cause that part of it was still alive and well. Now onto the so called "pizza".
If you're into bread and no toppings, this is the place for you. God, Chicago Fire's deep dish does serious damage to Zelda's. I have a feeling that's what Zelda's dishes use to be like...had to have been. Even my experienced friend who's a huge fan thought things were a little bleak. It was like eating a bagel with tasty ketchup on it. Just didn't stand up our Chicago Fire and Pizza Classico...not by a long shot. However, you can't beat their TWO DOLLAR A GLASS HOUSE WINE (BOGLE!!!).
Oh yeah, CASH ONLY. Whatever. I know, I know...VISA really puts it to the merchant, but tough sh*t. That's how people pay for things now. Sending someone two blocks down to an ATM in the dark frickin sucks and is total crap. This place better watch out. A lot of other joints have and are opening up in the area that will put these guys right out. Needless to say the decor hasn't been updated in years - however that's part of their charm -but in this case adds to how much they don't give a crap about the customer when you add everything up.
My two cents. Good luck Zelda, you'll need it!!!!
