of doughy shit with very tart tomato sauce and cheap mozzarella


the finest Pizza - thin crust - is gonna be out around Downers Grove -
Lisle...30 miles west of the city


i'm talking about the finest pepperoni and Italian sausage
i'm talking about the finest mozzarella and fresh mushrooms
i'm talking about cooked tomato sauce like Gramma use to make
i'm talking about a dough crust that melts in your mouth

i'm talking about an ORGASM PIZZA

Where are you staying (part of town) and for how long?
Will you have a car?

There are many many very good Chicago places to eat, (not only deep dish
pizza)

and if LA wishes to have deep dish pizza i think that is a marvelous
idea

Places at the pinnacle of pizza have pretty much gone downhill since
the 70s. Of the chains I would try Edwardo's or Bacino's.

Nobody seems to try to answer your question with specific pizza joints,
probably because all the pizza places are pretty good here -- you
rarely actually get bad pizza, although it does happen, such as at a new
joint along Lake Street, just east of Desplaines.

You almost can't go wrong here, but since you're traveling about 2k
miles, here is a short list to check out:

For Deep dish Chicago Pizza
Pizzeria Uno
29 E. Ohio St.
(312) 280-5120
www.unos.com

For Amazing thin crust pizza:
Pat's Pizza
2679 N Lincoln Ave
(773) 248-0168
www.patspizza.info

For Awesome 4-cheese-no-red-sauce pizza
Pat's Pizza
628 S. Clark St.
312-427-2320
No web site of their own noticed

Excellent competition abounds.

Good luck.

I'm pretty sure in Chicago I went to Gina's (not Gino's)
for a traditional Chicago pizza and I was quite happy with
it. But, I have no reason to believe they're any better
than anyone else -- I only had time for one pizza.

No. Way.

Go to Falco's on 40th and Cal for the best thin-crust sausage in town.
That's my recommendation.

Gino's East has been crap for years. Giordano's is nothing compared to
what it used to be. I remember when even a Connie's pie was tasty.
Gone, gone, all the icons are gone. But what pizza joints have risen
to take their place?

Thanks -- I will try to stop there this xmas.

For thin-crust sausage, we used to go to Little Joe's on 63rd. I see
they have relocated to Tinley Park and New Lenox. Are they any good?

Honestly, I don't taste much difference in either Giordano's or Connie's
from what I remember from back in the day. Never liked Malnati's
corn-crust and Gino's was just never on the radar for me.

The only place on 63rd we ever used to get (and still get when we visit
mom) is Palermo's for their excellent sweet sauce. Just had some last
weekend. The one they opened in Oak Lawn doesn't quite nail it so we
stick with getting it from the original joint.

Dunno Little Joe's.

I haven't had Carmen's. What do you like about it?

Lou's has been raised and dismissed.

Papa Del's is not in Chicago, rather in a distant college town. If
you're looking for Chicago pizza in a distant college town, I
recommend Zachary's (rain or shine there's always a line) in Berkeley.

Chicago comprises many pizza styles. The original Chicago restaurant
pizza was baked and served in a jelly roll pan, aka cookie sheet. My
dad used to take my mom to Sparga's when they were dating (after the
war) and it stayed in business up into the 70's. Buddy's and Loui's
in Detroit still serve rectangular pizza, but they use brick (sic)
cheese.

Wrong as usual. Thin crust is VERY south side.

True enough.

Geoff, what are your favorite pies? What do you like most about them?
Do you rank Malnati's above the rest?
