The Best Tavern-Style Pizzas In Chicago, Ranked - Chicago - The Infatuation
"The tavern-style pizzas at Nueva Italy in Rogers Park are on the thicker side compared to other pies on this list, but they still have fantastic crispiness. The slightly thick dough holds up well against the tangy tomato sauce, cheese, and classic toppings like sausage and pepperoni or less traditional ones like gyro meat. We also recommend upgrading to a rich butter crust (a buttery version of the regular) for just two bucks—a perfectly good use for the $2 bills that you somehow accumulated throughout the years. The restaurant is small and only does delivery and takeout—but if “patience” isn’t a soft skill that made it onto your resume, they have a perfectly usable bench in front that’s ideal for instant pizza consumption." - adrian kane, john ringor
