Pizza is probably one of the things I miss the most from my days living in the Chicago area. There is just nothing to compare in downstate Illinois no matter what the long time locals might tell you. The upside is that I love to cook and I’ve taught myself to make a pretty darn good thin crispy crust pizza from scratch. The best downstate pizza might be at my house! Thanks…

When my parents moved to Texas, good pizza was the No. 1 thing they missed. As for downstate Illinois, I will say that in college, "Uptown Normal" had two really great pizza places that both closed within the last 20 years: Micheleo's and Jake's. Outside of that, there were definitely none that I could find that were any better.

It’s not only the South Side. We had excellent thin-crust Chicago style pizza at Al’s Pizza in Warrenville last weekend.

Thank you Mike for another trip, looked good but no way in heck 40$ good for a 12" pie. I get the history etc. I'm to cheap for that! Fun to see though:)

Luckily, I only paid about 20 bucks for the 14-inch (not including the drink and tip). Thank you as always for watching and commenting!

Over an hour way? You don't say. I fly to Chicago from Columbus just to eat pizza and beef sandwiches.

I grew up 3 blocks from there in Hometown. Southside note..if you feel 5.9% is strong alcohol your def not from the southside. Again that was a southside note 😂

Thanks for watching! I'm definitely a light weight when it comes to alcohol.

One reason you do cash only us because you have a cash machine you make money on. One day I'll get down there 👍
