List your top 5 pizzerias in Chicago

[Unbothered]

Is pizza a staple invented by black people?

One doesn't have to be Italian to make pizza.

There are plenty of white (as in American; not adjacent) owned pizza places across the country.

Hell, there are even Black-owned pizza shops across the East Coast, and not to mention Black-owned “Chinese” restaurants.

NYC has a few Black-owned pizzerias.

Lou's was my shyt when I was in Chicago for a few months due to work. Giordano's had crazy long lines. Great cheese pull but almost too cheezy.


Chicago in general was fun as hell because I ate like shyt and didn't gain an ounce since we walked everywhere (or rode the red line).

I stuck to deep dish pizza up there. Good thinner crust pizza can be found in damn near any major metro and even some small towns. Deep dish is MUCH harder to find elsewhere.

I haven't had a bunch of pizza in Chicago but I really liked Pequods pizza.

had this a couple times and found it wildly overrated honestly.

Which locations? I always get light sauce anyway, so that’s not a factor for me.

New Lenox and Bolingbrook.

Sauce is the flavor and will make or break your pizza. Beggars just isnt good, my grandma said the same thing and I didnt realize it until I tried something like Home run in or Aurelios

GIORDANO'S THIN CRUST>>>


​

Giordano's period changed my life. December 2001 on my interview for my first job. Never had Chicago Deep Dish Pizza period...had that shyt and then my man @beenz told me to check out the thin crust a few years later....nikka

Lou Mal's is good, but Giordano's...... shyt is straight

Chicago Pizza is the GOAT.'

So you're just a “Black man” who likes to emulate racist CACs' behavior in mocking Black people ?

Another sellout ass house negro, y'know I hate you MFs as well as your cac handlers, when the day comes and these white devils meet their demise. You'll be meeting your maker as well, and you can share a tombstone with them.

Don't tag me anymore you wannabe cracker-loving piece of shyt!

Ignored.

Anybody that doesn't list Beggar's can eat a dikk. I don't understand how it never makes lists. I need some answers as to why people don't like it like that.

the problem with beggar's I've noticed is that the quality varies by location. I know the two beggar's closest to my house are kinda wack over on 82/stoney and 47th and lake park.

however if you go to the OG on 127th and western

or 127th kedzie (they burned down recently)

or the one in oak forest on cicero near like 157th, those all hit hard

For me, the dough makes or breaks a pizza. I like a lot of cheese with a little bit of sauce. Sometimes the dough will be flavorful or taste like bread.

I fukk with Home Runn Inn.

They use to have plum tomato pizza that was

 

[Sir Richard Spirit]

Beggars is not good, at least where I get it from. Tried 2 different locations. The sauce has zero flavor.

I never had a bad Beggars pizza in my life.


You ever had Reggios? I feel like Reggios and Congress are what people think Beggars are. I’ve had some fire Reggios pizza tho, but more bad ones

Italian Fiesta
Milly's
Pequods
Giordano's
Vitos & Nicks

I've heard about this place numerous times. and they have a location near my girl crib, but I CANNOT stand places that make you jump through hoops to patronize their business.

the limited availability and the trouble of getting a damn pizza makes no sense. especially in a place where there's a shyt TON of quality local pizza places.
