"Professor Pizza has a take-out and delivery-only spot in the West Loop, along with a large brick-and-mortar under The Second City in Old Town. Their tavern-style has a thin but durable crust that holds up to toppings and a garlicky red sauce. We're fans of the sausage and pepper that's piled with mozzarella, sausage, roasted peppers, peppadew, and whipped ricotta (along with sauce and parm). We don’t understand how this pizza manages to stay crispy, but it does, and it’s delicious." - adrian kane, john ringor
