Chicago’s Best Detroit-Style Pizzas | Eater Chicago

"Tony Scardino, a competitive pizza maker affectionately known as “Professor Pizza,” started slinging pizzas to the public out of a Wrigleyville pop-up during the pandemic, eventually moving into a ghost kitchen. In 2024, he found a home in Old Town, replacing Roots Handmade Pizza. At Professor Pizza, folks can try Motor City pies along with New York, tavern, Sicilian, and Grandma-style. The deluxe pepperoni is the move here: crispy, charred pepperoni cups with dollops of whipped ricotta and hot honey." - Jeffy Mai
