Chicago’s Best Pizza

"Novel Pizza Cafe, nestled in a residential near Harrison Park in Pilsen, is a throwback with vintage sports gear, a few tables, and a few seats at a counter near the window. This is a tribute to Filipino and Mexican immigrants with the signature tavern-crust pizza topped with Spanish chorizo and giardiniera. It provides a sweet and spicy kick. Look out for a rotating special. There’s also Chicago pan pizza which will have old-heads reminiscing about wiping their hands before so they don’t dirty an arcade video game. Online ordering is available." - Ashok Selvam
