LosMediasBlancas Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 02:00 PM) Let me ask you people this. Anyone ever been to SF? (calling all you cali sox fans) In SF all they eat is this sourdough pizza, you can get some pretty good s*** near the piers. I wish they had that here, its AMAZING. Been to SF, but never though about having pizza there. I was too full of clam chowder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daa84 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 theres a place called louisa's at like 143rd and cicero, I think the owner used to work for Malnatti's and branched off....its not quite as "deep" are giordanos but i think its the best deep dish ive had i used to really like giordanos as a kid, but ive grown to like louisa's, malnattis, and gino's better...something about that cornmeal crust i guess, though i havent had girodanos deep dish in like 7 years, if i had it now im sure id still love it but as i said earlier...palermos on 95th just west of cicero...for thin crust, nothing is better, especially if you like your sauce sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baracco's (sp?) on 95th also does a decent thin pie. Not my favorite, but certainly serviceable and I'd eat a whole one by myself right now.

maggsmaggs Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 10:15 AM) You have to try Barnaby's. Best pizza ever, IMO. Its a crappy little restaurant, there are 3 or 4 of them, around the north and northwest side and suburbs. Dark, dingy, poorly decorated, and you have to pick up your pizza at the counter (they scream numbers over a PA system). But the pie is just amazing. Amen. I love Barnaby's. I go to the one off Skokie Highway and it is amazing. Sometimes I think I love the crust more than the pizza, but really its all yummy. Can't go wrong with the pepperoni.

TCQ Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 QUOTE (OilCan @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 01:57 PM) IIRC, there was a Falco's in Hinsdale off of South Kingery Hwy....is that still there too? Yes but it moved from that dingy shack that was hard to get into, about 50 feet to the left where a dunkin donuts used to be. How can only one person have mentioned rosatis best thin crust in town.

zimne piwo Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Years ago my dad would take the family to Chesdan's on Archer (near Spaulding) and their thin crust was awesome! They closed that location several years back and are now in Homer Glen and Shorewood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 10:05 AM) There are really 3 primary types of "Chicago" pizza. The famous deep dish pie of course... the south side, buttery thin crust... and the cracker crust Chicago thin. For those three, the best, IMO: Deep Dish: Lou Malnati's (Due's and Girodano's get silver and bronze) South Side: Home Run Inn (nothing else I've had comes close - and don't tell me Connie's) Cracker: Barnaby's (Jake's gets a silver) I can't argue with your list. I'd add Rosati's for a thin crust bacon. Devil's Revenge at Pat's Pizza in Grayslake because I ate so much of it when I worked for him in college like almost 30 years ago. I have skipped over DaPizza Joint on South Padre Island for years. I just never placed the beach and pizza in the same breath. Last night a co-worker asked if I wanted to have dinner with her. I wasn't hungry and agreed to have a beer while she ate. Bottom line, she learned that for a Chicago guy, if you put pizza in front of us, and it's good to very good, hungery or not, it will be eaten. Think northwoods of Wisconsin, meets Barnaby's piano playing, with a pretty damn good pie. So I now have two pretty damn good pizza places here in South Texas. I can be happy. Now if I found a gyro place . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I had a pizza at Aurelio's in the Holiday Inn on Harrison Street - near the Sears Tower, when I stayed there last year. I thought that it was pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Yes, Aurelio's is definitely in my top 3 for thin crust/party-style cut pizzas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Ended up having Deep Dish Pizza at Lou's yesterday. It looked small when we had it (only got the individual pizza), but it really filled you up. The sauce was really good, and I'll definitely go back there again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I've had Giordano's a few times and had both Giordano's and Lou's this weekend and I want to say that without a doubt, Lou's was better. It wasn't even close. Lou's was the best deep dish I've ever had. I still don't think it beats Lombardi's New York pizza but its easily in my top 4 or 5.

Now there is a new owner of the franchise and the pizza on a few of the recent trips has been VERY good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
