"The original Pete’s Pizza opened in 1950 at Belmont and Western avenues where Riverview Park, an amusement park, once stood. Though the rides may be gone it’s a good thing the pizza has remained, as Pete’s Pizza has continually topped lists and received accolades during its more than 70-year run. Today, there are two locations and they both sell pizza by the slice, though the Edgewater location truly captures that old school Chicago pizza parlor vibe." - Brandon Summers-Miller, Eater Staff
