Giordano's and Lou Malnati's also are longtime favorites.

It's not the same as having one fresh out of the oven, but still better than anything else in these parts.

My Pie in LP WAS good.

At least it's still open in Bucktown. Really weird wait staff though, I've been there 3 time and had 3 different oddballs waiting on me. I'm guessing they're part of the family so they can't be fired. |

The more often I order Leona's the more often it is confirmed in my mind they have the best thin crust in the city. Perfect pizza. It is more of a New York Style, but the best in Chicago IMO.

I do like Leona's but they mess up our order far more often than they get it right, so we stopped ordering from them. Now we pretty much stick to Pete's.

Yeah the one on Elston is not the best example of how good they can be. When I lived over there and ordered from that location I had some problems also. The one on Sheffield is much better. |
