"Sharpies is a new Detroit-style pizzeria near the corner of Elston and North Avenue with some of the best pies in Chicago, squares so good that they could give some of the Motor City’s best competition. The restaurant is from the owners of Ada Street, a beloved fine dining establishment that’s also in the area, and diners can tell the pizzas are assembled by a chef who cares about technique and knows their way around the kitchen. The standard bearers of a fennel-forward sausage or Ezzo pepperoni cups are wonderful, but make room for specials that are as out of this world as the pizzeria’s alien mascot." - Ashok Selvam
