Official Pizza Appreciation!

[zmaqbool]

I'm going to Cape Cod for work, any good pizza spots in that area or in Boston?

Oo Boston. I ❤ Boston. I always hit up Regina's(North End) & Santarpio's for when I'm out there. I recommend you try both. Santarpio's is nice & thin with a healthy crunch. Regina's is thicker & fuller.

If you like dessert, try Mike's Pastry & The Omni Parker House Hotel for the original Boston Cream Pie. I haven't had it from Omni Hotel yet, but if you do, please report back & lmk how it is.

I’m curious to see your rankings walking bred

Labriola surprised me. Pizza was pure fire. Was not expecting it to be that good.

I don't really have rankings. Just a handful of spots that I really like. It changes the more places I try or if I try something different from a familiar spot. Coalfire was a spot that I tried a second time around cause the first time was takeout during no dine in times. Pizza was delicious dining in. One of my favorite joints right now.

Already did a couple months ago...


If you're ever in the Chicago area, here's a quick guide to some of my favorite places based on Pizza type.


Lou Malnati's - Deep Dish
I grew up on Lou Malnatis but there's no bias here. The sauce, the cheese, the crust all work together to create the perfect Chicago Deep Dish Pizza.
Tip: Throw in the extra change for the Butter Crust. The Fried Calamari is also worth a try.

Pequod's - Pan Pizza
Some may argue it's Chicago Deep Dish but it's more of a Pan Style Pizza. It's like a combo of Detroit Style and Deep Dish. The Focaccia like dough is thick and airy and has a delicious Caramelized Crust.

Vito & Nick's - Chicago Tavern Style
Vito & Nick's has always been a Taven Style staple in Chicago. They started the Chicago Taven Style Pizza back in the 40's. Most Tavern Style Pizzas in the city have too thick of a doughy crust. I prefer their cracker thin crust. It looks unassuming, but it's all in the sauce & thin crust flavor with this one.

Pizza Fried Chicken Ice Cream - #2 Tavern Style
This is a new spot that opened up in the Bridgeport area by a group of young, layed back folks that have gained a lot of momentum due to their attention to detail and quality ingredients. They don't mess around. The Taven style is cracker thin with exceptional char.

Pizza Fried Chicken Ice Cream - Sicilian
Not too many Sicilian joints in Chicago. PFCI takes the cake regardless. The dough is perfectly airy & yet crunchy and the sauce & toppings complement that with just the right balance.

Union Squared - Detroit Style
More & more Detroit Style spots are starting to pop up around the city. This would have never been acceptable in the 80's or 90's lol. So far my top pick is Union Squared. Light, fluffy, great sauce, and the caramelized crusts hits.

Jimmy's Pizza Cafe - New York Style
More NY Pizza spots are popping up in Chicago as well. I've tried most & so far Jimmy's holds the crown. Owners are from New York and have made a name for themselves here with their NY pies. If the Foster spot is too far North, they just purchased a building in Wrigglyville but the opening date is still unknown.

Spacca Napoli - Neapolitan
I've been on a Neapolitan run for the past year. I still have a couple more places to try but Spacca Napoli is at the top of the heap. If you find yourself here your going to want to try the Pistachio Pizza. It's more of a low key choice but the flavors are life changing.
