"Come to this West Seattle Chicago-style pizzeria with a bunch of people if only to receive plenty of help eating monstrous deep dish and cracker-thin tavern pies. West Of Chicago captures midwest suburbia to a tee, so it's ideal when the hungry group texts start rolling in for a low-key, same-night plan. Waltz right in, place an order for pizzas, breadsticks, and spicy sausage dip, and then proceed to shove a million two-tops together to make one frankentable. Then, all that's left to do is pass the pitcher of Goose Island around." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
