Let me tell you a tale about my pizza-loving husband. This man lives for pizza--the good, the bad, the ugly. Now, I'll partake in the former any day of the week with him, but it's the latter that had me rolling my eyes *hard* one late afternoon on our drive from Chicago to our home in Michigan when he wanted to make a {45 minute} "detour" on this place he found for pizza. I was just ready to start our weekend and tired from the week. But boy oh boy am I glad I went limp & relented because I ate my words, in the form of some of the best pizza I've ever had. In fact, it quickly became a part of our regular routine and I haven't looked back.
For context, I was raised in New York and have lived in Chicago over 10 years, also I'm thick as hell, so when I tell you I know pizza, you'll have to trust me and try for yourself. Patellie's has a fantastic crust, chewy, crispy, flavorful. They use the perfect amount and kind of sauce & cheese, and they locally source their veggies & meats. In fact, I usually always opt for whatever veggie pie they have that day (their chef is a mad genius), and it never disappoints. We don't make it up to Michigan as much anymore since selling our home, but I think about the pizza...and the other love of my life (their burrata) often & feel wistful. Check it out!
