Steve Dolinsky gives his top 3 pizza picks in Chicago

[@nel1962]

Everone is always on about Chicago deep dish but for me it’s Chicago thin crust all the way.

[@rgclan1392]

Yes I love thin crust

[@rob86965]

Yep, you speak the truth

[@billflk2364]

Yeah the 1st time I actually had it was in a Chicago restaurant that was in Florida and I always ate the chicken parmigiana and then my aunt said that i should try the Chicago thin crust pizza and I was hooked, recently changed owners and now it is not the same as b4

[@gregory46236]

Me too

[@The_Gallowglass]

Thin and thick crust tavern pizza.

[@kuttycrew]

Cracker thin crust is all you need to know, NY pizza is made with dough, it doesn’t crack like a ritz when you bite into it.

[@IAMBENNYBLANCO.]

I miss my hometown and I miss my favorite Chitown pizza.....Congress Pizza 😖😔😣

[@JustMe-qk1mt]

I miss Armand's on Grand Ave

[@CWAIGN82]

Congress pizza is now closed.Armands on north ave is delicious.

[@loveslela]

I miss the pizza from Congress pizzeria to. Mr. Lombardo used to make his own sauce and his own sausages. The pizzas were amazing as well as the other foods they prepared. I love their chicken Vesuvio. I met wonderful people there at Congress pizzeria.

[@theMick52]

Tavern style? Why, when you have deep dish readily available? There's regular pizza all over the country... I guess I'm crazy.. If I lived there I'd have a room at Giordanos!

[@ABikerDude]

Awesome and now I am hungry!!

[@shadeyreign]

Villa Nova in Stickney. Obbies on Archer, Vito and Nicks south side. Michaels in Buena Park. Falcos in Cicero.

@robertlong8958, I'm so glad you know about Vince's! It's been there forever!!! I love it along with Home Run Inn.

[@MiguelRodriguez-ef8dh]

Barnaby's inn pizza is the best for me. I used to make my own pizzas, my way, when I worked for Barnaby's.

[@DHeld]

Could you give me some hints tips on recreating Barnabys pizza

[@mshelnutt275]

[@johnnyrainbow50]

1. Aurelio’s 2. Fox’s 3. Lou Malnatis

[@mstanger61]

Why is the music so f-ing loud? Can barely hear the voices!

[@pauldegregorio6432]

One bite. Everybody knows the rules. We call that style of pizza “bar pizza” in some parts of New England. We don’t cut the squares though. I lived in Forest Park outside of Chicago for a year during my training. I about crapped when I got a take out thin pizza and it looked like it was cut for a kiddie birthday party!

[@Eagle7433]

It's called Tavern Style. Cutting square slices or Tavern Style originated at Vito's and Nick's (the #1 spot in the video) after world war 2. The owner took bar pizza and cut them into squares slices so ppl could eat them like a snack to go with the beer and it's able to serve many at the bar. Now it's a Chicago staple. Much more common in Chicago than deep dish.

[@andrew9145]

See my post lol

[@The_Gallowglass]

Watch your mouth Paul.

[@sheawhitey5009]

Phil's pizza D"Oro on MILWAUKEE ON NORTHWEST SIDE. I CALL IT THE PIZZAMAKERS' PIZZA( CONSIDERING I DID IT FOR 40 YEARS)

[@QueenPeachCobbler]

Home run inn

[@chrisdeangelis4616]

Aurelio’s is my favorite in the West suburbs!

[@columbusohio72]

Wonder if its the same one in the south suburbs too

[@JohnnyDeMarco-jp8vb]

@@columbusohio72 It is! I think there is one in or around Homewood? It’s a decent cracker, thin crust, pizza, but I watched them make it, and they import big bags of already processed sausage balls, that come from downtown Chicago, someplace, and who knows from where originally? If you want, actual, homemade Italian sausage, made from scratch, the right way, Go to 84th and Pulaski, and eat at Vito and nicks Pizzeria. It’s like Aurelio‘s but the sausage is 1 trillion times better. Trust me on this!

[@georgelevin6134]

I’ve had it all. The best thin crust pizza in the country is Turoni’s Evansville IN.
