"Our deep dish is like a true Chicago pie," she said. "Around here, people think of deep dish as a doughy type of pizza, but it's more like a pie."

"Let's face it, pizza is pizza, we just happen to do it very well," Pace admitted.

For adults, the restaurant offers a full bar with award-winning beer and wines you wont find anywhere.

"Our bar has stuff you won't find walking down the street," Pace added.

Unlike its San Francisco locations, the Campbell outlet offers panini sandwiches for lunch and dinner along with salads, appetizers and fresh desserts.

The Blue Line name originates from the train line that runs between the city of Chicago and O'Hare International Airport.

When talking about the chain's new location, Pace, a local girl, describes Campbell as a great place to open a business.

"This is a great area, it's very family-oriented and you don't find that in many places," she said. "The whole attitude of the community has been a huge bonus."
