Pizzeria chain serves up delectable pies starring fresh ingredients and airy, tender crust.

In Short
Looking to avoid the crushing crowds at Giordano's and Gino's but don't want to skimp on quality? Pop into this little nook (only about 10 booths and tables), whose monstrous stuffed pizzas are as formidable as anything you'll find in Chicago. Ingredients taste market-fresh, the tomato sauce like just-made, and the crust (white or whole wheat) is airy and tender. Besides pizza, another good bet is the chicken pesto passion calzone, jam-packed with pesto-smothered chicken, mozzarella and tomatoes.
