Pizza

[Cronos]

Rosati's has great thin crust pizza. Gino's and Lou Malnati's both have amazing deep dish pizza. I still am not a fan of the huge sausage patty though.

Malnati's is my favorite. We had one in Peoria for a few years when Rick Malnati played at Bradley but it closed after he left. Luckily, there are now a lot of them to choose from in the Chicago area. And I agree that the sausage patty that accompanies most of the Chicago style sausage pizzas is a bit overwhelming.

If you mean Lou Malnati's, then I'll agree that that place was pretty good. I've only been there once, and the food took forever(about an hour, I think) but very, very quality deep dish.

I'm pretty sure all deep dish pizza take anywhere from about 40 min to an hour to cook so that's pretty average.

Admittedly I haven't been to too many deep dish places apart from an Uno's chain here and there. So I don't know what's average. I remember Uno's being about half an hour which is about the time I'm used to waiting for food at any other restaurant anyway.

Yeah, I'd say 40 is about average. 30 is about the quickest you should expect. An hour is a little longer than usual but I know Malnati's is usually packed so that might have played into it.

At Black Thorn, prepare to wait at least an hour. 2 or more on Saturday night. I usually call ahead.

I usually just play shuffleboard, but it sucks when other people are on it, or are hoarding the pucks at their table while they eat. Jerks.

SIDENOTE: I'm starving. I would kill for a BTP pizza right now.

People who do that are punks.

I'd kill for about 10 shots of jager at the BT right now.... and a pie to take home and eat before passing out.

I love pizza, but I am going to be honest with you...90% of the pictures in this thread make me nauseous. They look [expletive] awful.

The only problem with pizza is that it doesn't get eaten by me everyday. I should look to remedy this.



Popeye, your third pic reminds me that I need to get to blackthorn soon.

Out of all of them, this pizza looks the best to me.
