Location
You're never going to believe this, but one of the best pizzas I have had is at the Wolfgang Pizza Express station in the B terminal of O'hare international airport in Chicago. I had a 35 minute layover and desperately needed some food. I stopped and was happy to find a BBQ chicken pizza on the overhead menu. The precooked pizzas are flash fired in a woodfire oven and then slid into a to go box before your credit card receipt pops out. Needless to say, I was a little leery. I was also starving.
The Pizza
...was delicious. The crust was fantastic and the cheese was actually pretty high quality. It was a small pizza, but pretty impressive for fast food. It had chicken, sauce, onions, another ingredient I'm forgetting and cilantro. More on that in a minute.
The Chicken
The meat on this pizza was chunk chicken, probably from frozen. However, it was not chewy or squishy, so I was satisfied.
The Sauce and the Taste
The sauce was really delicious and I was just annoyed that there wasn't more of it on the pizza. The taste overall, I have to say, was brilliant. The cilantro is a move that no other pizza place has tried and it was a smashing success. The cilantro complimented the barbecue sauce and the onions and made it aromatic. Seriously, the secret to good bbq chicken pizza is cilantro. Who would have guessed?
Overall
Delicious. Even more so considering it was cooked by a minimum wage goon at a food court. I mean, the cilantro must have been Wolfgang's decision, but still. I was really satisfied. I ate the whole thing with 5 minutes to spare before boarding.
