Pizza was good, but I’d struggle to call what I got a “Chicago style deep dish” I’d recommend whomever is making the menu to research that style of pizza and either make that or take the option off the menu. It was a good pizza however, so I am not complaining, just not as described. Half Price deal on Tuesday was good, drinks were average price, server seemed uninterested

I have fond memories of this place so I decided to come back after an Iowa bball game. Service was friendly but really slow. Food was average- seemed to have regressed from what I remember. The entire place needs a deep clean. The most disappointing part was placing a to go order- ordered a burger and fries…got home and the burger didn’t have a burger patty in it.

Ordered from the AIrliner through GrubHub and had a horrendous experience. Was delivered two salads with no dressing and onion rings which specified they would come with ranch on the side with no ranch. Also ordered a cheeseburger in which I requested condiments on the side and did not receive any condiments. Called to ask for a refund as I was in a hotel therefore did not have access to dressing or condiments making our dinner less than ideal. Got nothing but attitude from the person who answered the phone, they offered to refund THE RANCH (yes like $1) to which I politely declined and asked if I could speak to a manager. Overheard the entire conversation between the employee and the manager in which they were mocking me for complaining about the lack of condiments/dressing. Was then told that the manager was “unavailable” (obviously untrue as I overheard the entire conversation) and was told they would comp my salad. Never received the refund. Highly don’t recommend if you enjoy being treated like a decent human being and getting the meal you ordered.

Love the $1 slices in Sunday, part of my weekly routine. The sizes of the regular pizzas are great and one of the few places that fill me up. Beer wise, more of a college bar.

Atmosphere and drinks were fantastic. The food was not good. We ordered a margarita pizza and received a pie smothered in cheese, burnt basil, and diced tomatoes on top, no sauce at all… crust was about a half inch thick through the whole pizza. I’m not sure if they’ve ever actually seen what a margarita pizza is supposed to be like. Come here thirsty, not hungry.

We went here at the recommendation of a friend who went to school at U of I. Apparently, she spent more time here than in class when she was a student 20+ years ago. I can see why. It’s a cozy place to tuck in even on a Summer’s day. We had a great pizza. If it’s indicative of their other menu offerings you won’t go wrong.

Any time we drive near Iowa City we have to get some Airliner pizza. We call ahead and today we picked it up and ate on the road. Yummy!!!

Ok, I haven’t been here in 22 years, not much has changed except the prices. The burgers were delicious, the salad was not at all. Service was insanely slow which wasn’t good since we only had 2 hours to be here and 90 min was spent here. But overall, I’m glad I came back to visit.

Great Pizza! We took ours to go and it was still great. I was able to park right out front in the 15-min loading zone and take the pizza to the hospital. I had to carry it with two hands cuz it was so thick and heavy. The three of us didnt even eat half of the large 2-topping deep dish. We gave the rest to the nurses who were happy to take the rest to the break room. 🙂
