Bridge City Pizza

"Outside of the Midwest, Chicago is best known for a pizza so deep it needs a lifeguard; locals often prefer a thin, crispy, square-cut tavern style that is Bridge City’s specialty. Nevertheless, Bridge City is more than just a pizzeria, serving a knockout Chicago-style Italian beef sandwich — thinly-sliced beef on a French roll under a pile of sweet peppers, served with au jus. Another under-the-radar hit: The shop’s super gooey mozzarella sticks are made in-house, as opposed to landing in a fryer out of a freezer bag." - Nathan Williams, Janey Wong
