Thread: Chicago: Favourite Pizza/Italian food

uhh.. is that supposed to have some relevance, connotation, or insinuation to my question? if so, it's totally over my head..

Viccino's FTW, I used to do that for lunch when I worked for the Glenview Park District

I like Dave's Italian Kitchen in Evanston, and last week I went on a date to Union Pizzeria, it was pretty nice too.

Giordano's has wonderful Pizza. I managed to get a chance to try it while i was in Chicago even though the wait was 1hr.

I would rather eat one of my own appendages. We tried this Harold’s Chicken mission one time (apparently there is one near midway)... Worst experience ever. Popeye’s has better chicken!

Sorry just imo

I love love love pizza!
Lou's is my fave however Giordano's is fab too!

You mean it is not Uno's?

Rubin, that was in regards to your bbq chicken comment.

Kelly, 2 Questions.
1. WAS THERE BULLETPROOF GLASS?
2. Were you the only white folk within 1 mile radius?

if the answer to both is NO, then you were at a touristy Harold's with subpar chicken. Its the equivelant of going to Pizzaria Unos at some random mall in TX for your authentic Chicago pizza experience.

Bring a gat and I will take you to a good Harolds. Harolds is only good if you go between the hours of 11pm-2am.

The guy selling random stuff (socks, porn dvds, tshirts, jewelry) while you wait for your food is part of the Harold's dining experience.
