we have two places we like here and since the demise of Homemade Pizza we have few choices we really like in our neighborhood up north. but here- we love the outpost of Grimaldi's from under the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC... a long time favorite
Grimaldi’s history of coal-fired brick oven pizza cooking can be traced to the first pizzeria in America back in 1905. Coal-fired brick oven cooking gives pizza a unique smoky flavor and a crisp crust that is just not possible with gas, convection, or wood oven.
there are several in the area although not one really close by- but the pizza is excellent (the one we regularly order is shown above) and worth a journey!
and when we want to have pizza - last minute right around us... we like VIP (Village Idiot Pizza) which is small and family owned with very very good wood fired oven pizza-
my favorite is also "Adam's Favorite" I am happy he is willing to share!
Phil likes "the Flatlander" and also "the Butcher" (shown below)
so while we do miss many of the ethnic foods Chicago offers - we do have good pizza available!
