River still has the 'oldest' honor
We are blessed to have some good pizza places in the Tri-Village area (and beyond)...
Geppetto's, 113 N Oak Park Ave (I like their Monster)
Giordano's, 1115 Chicago Ave (spinach deep dish)
Jimmy's, 7411 Madison St
... and even
Puree's, 1023 Lake St, got some love recently.
We might have to include
Pasta Shoppe, 116 N Oak Park Ave with their boasting of Neapolitan style
Any love for
Edwardo's, 6831 North Ave (Natural) or Leona's, 848 Madison St
The stalwart
Albano's, 5913 W Roosevelt Rd used to be right up there with the now closed Grand Slam and they have a good 'Pizza Puff'.
Al's (Alessandro's), 6040 W Cermak Rd. Stopped by a few times the last few weeks for dinner. I seem to remember the pizza was only OK.
How about bar style pizza?
I was recently impressed with
Byron's Hot Dogs, 7237 Madison St with their cheap pizza offering. Heard it is now the favorite on the strip.
In the past I had some good pie from
Smiling Joe's, 7737 W Roosevelt Rd but it depends highly on who is at the oven.
Pushing it a little further...
The venerable
Home Run Inn, 4254 W 31st St and rumored to have stolen their recipe
Falco's, 5643 W Cermak Rd.
Not to mention...
Jim & Pete's, 7806 W North Ave
Amato's, 1737 N Harlem Ave
