The Art of Pizza
3033 N Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60657 773-327-5600

A limited selection of Italian classics, such as ravioli and eggplant parmesan, can also be had.

The Original Gino's East of Chicago
633 N Wells St, Chicago, IL 60610 312-988-4200
Description: RIVER NORTH. Chicago-style pizza has won droves of ardent fans, and this restaurant is probably the downfall for most of them. Just try to resist the irresistible, deep-dish Chicago pizza with oozing cheese, rich sauce, and fresh toppings from its crisp, cornmeal-infused crust. The spacious dining room seats 500 but still the lines form, and people eagerly await what is considered the best pizza in the town (or maybe anywhere). The ambience is casual with graffiti-covered walls (no profanity!) and dark booths. But people don't come here for the environment; they come for the pizza. You can even take a frozen one home if you call ahead.
