Blaze Pizza

Been to this location so many times in the past 5 years. I always go for the option to build my own pizza and I like to load mine up with tons of vegetables. The spicy vegan chorizo topping is amazing and so is their vegan cheese in small quantities. Too much of the vegan cheese feels a bit overwhelming for me. The pesto sauce is tasty but very very garlicky, so much that it always leaves a very strong odor and it feels like it takes forever for that to go away however hard you try. For that reason, I always stick to the regular red sauce. The seating area is ok. It’s a fast food joint , so don’t go with very high expectations. But I have always liked the way my pizza turns out here. Is it really pizza ? Maybe , maybe not. The answer depends on who you ask. But to me it’s some form of flatbread fast food that’s delicious. I like that they have the northwestern wildcard discount in this particular branch. I have never eaten in any other blaze outlet other than this one to make any comparisons. ~Sruthi

Penske Truck Rental

I want to make clear up front: the following review is not a reflection of the in-store front line staff, they did a great job. Booked a high top van, local rental, 2 months in advance. Two days before, a manager calls to tell me, he doesn't have a cargo van, would I take a 12' box truck for the same price. I was on a team meeting and didn't take down his name, my mistake, but I agreed. Day of pick up, first thing I noticed, there is the exact cargo van I booked sitting in the parking lot. But I thought they didn't have one? Second problem, counter employee says whoever re-entered my reservation made it a one-way and they can't give me the 12' box for a local rental. So I end up with a 16' box, which cost me more in gas and tolls, and was harder to drive and park. Once again, the in-store guys did a great job. This review is not a reflection on them, but I probably bably won't rent from Penske again. ~Michael

Sweetest staff I’ve ever met! I loved talking to them and getting there book suggestions! It’s small but there is a great selection. It’s in a wonderful area of Evanston but is a little hidden. You could walk by and miss it if you aren’t paying attention. ~Humera

Beck's Book Store

Good selection of NU merch, especially shirts and sweatshirts. Would've like more stickers. Also really appreciated the price matching on textbooks. My sister ended up saving $46 on her purchase, paying ~$80 instead of ~$120. Staff was friendly and helpful. ~Teddy
