So after trying the slice at The Beat Kitchen, I needed another, and Santullos was near by. The spot was recommended by a wedding client a while back so it was good to finally try it. They give fairly large slices, but were stingy on the pepperoni for mine (it was a busy day for them…). I liked it a lot though - the sauce was flavorful and cheese was greased up. The crust was really thin and floppy which made it easy to fold which really brought the whole package together. Good NYC style pizza that I’ll keep it in mind next time I’m back in Wicker Park.

This past weekend at Wicker Park fest, Beat Kitchen had a booth selling pizzas. It looked promising and wasn’t bad, but all I remember after eating it was I wanted another slice from somewhere else.

Papa Ray’s - www.paparayspizza.com/

I had Papa Ray’s pizza and wings for my birthday this past year and had been wanting to try the pizza again ever since (the wings were great btw). It has three locations, including one down the street from me at Lawrence and Sheridan. Lucky me got a coupon in the mail so I ordered and it got here quick. It’s solid to good pizza, I think I actually prefer just cheese for this one over my usual pepperoni. It sits somewhere in the middle between thin crust and pan. It tastes like my memory of Chuckie Cheese pizza (not how it really is these days). 

Pizzas are coming back…got a new camera and the appetite’s always there. In the mean time, recognize. Home Run Inn is the best frozen pizza out there. Ultra-Thin is the way to go.

Michael’s Pizzeria and Tavern

It’s been too long! Though I have had a few pizzas in the past month or so, I’ve been cutting down on consumption in general. Still trying to work out putting in exercise between my day job and DJing/producing music so in the meantime, can’t holler at pizza as much as I’d like. Anyways, I peeped this Michael’s Pizzeria and Tavern on at 4091 N Broadway Ave last night, and ate it right away so had to snag a picture from their website. I was expecting quite a bit from some reviews and they came through. The thin crust was a little thicker than others (almost Pompei) and the cheese/sauce combo reminded me of Gigio’s which makes for a very good pizza and a good switch up when ordering around the neighborhood. Looking forward to trying out their deep dish and stuffed!
