"The tavern-style pies at Novel Pizza in Pilsen trade in the thin, cracker aesthetic for a more substantial pita chip-esque crunch. But aside from the excellent crust and delicious spicy tomato sauce, it's their unique combo of housemade sweet longanisa and tart giardiniera that merit some trailblazer award from whatever the pizza Oscars would be. And if you want to be a pizza pioneer yourself, Novel also has a build-your-own option." - adrian kane, john ringor
