Lincoln Park. Most unusual pizza in the city of Chicago. It's an upside down potpie that is inverted at your table. It's a unique experience and worth the wait. But be prepared, it's a long wait.

Lincoln Park-Hands down, our favorite deep dish pizza place in Chicago. We also like the Morton Grove location. Sauce is sweet and the caramelized with cheese crust is incredible. It's a bit of a wait, but you can grab a drink at the Whale Tale.

Mag Mile-Delicious small plates and craft cocktails. This place is really humming with excitement, but once you get a seat, your server will guide you to a perfect dining experience. This place can be a bit pricey if you go all out, but you can go easy on the pocket book by exercising caution and ordering only 1 small plate. It is definitely worth the wait and the price.

Mag Mile-Lou's crust is hands down the best. It's deep dish but crispy; an achievement no other deep dish baker can claim. It's our first choice because there are so many locations in the suburbs and the city so it's local to anywhere you are.
