"The team from West Loop hangout, Kaiser Tiger, is behind this Lincoln Park space that has served as a neighborhood bar since 1937. A streamlined menu helps the kitchen team to focus on the main event—pizza—and to making it their best. That means cold-fermenting it for two days to ensure a crispy bottom and chewy inside. Ten different specialty pies make up the menu, with favorites like their Hot Honey Pepper (with goat cheese, mozzarella, basil, pepperoni, and locally sourced honey infused with hot pepper flakes) or their sausage, with mozzarella, parmigiano reggiano, and spicy, house made Italian sausage. Come here with family or friends, or order takeout or delivery for a cozy night in with some larger-than-life slices." - Nicole Schnitzler
