This is the best local Chicago pizza. You won’t be disappointed. If you are, then you juts don’t care for Chicago style pizza. It can be a wait so call ahead. Short Uber ride over. If you can’t get in here Lou Malnatis is an acceptable & excellent choice.

In the Loop (downtown) and want pizza. This is in a cool part of town and is a great place to get the Chicago pizza experience.
I’m partial to the Lou’s Classic. But if you need Gluten Free they have a great option. They replace the crust with a massive sausage pattie. Same great taste.

May favorite place in the neighborhood. I start and end my days here. Cant recommend it enough. This is an official US Wildlife Sanctuary. You can find cranes, heron, 40 different specials of birds, geese, fox, and tons of rabbits (haré) and squirrel.
2 minute walk from the apartment. I make it a priority to walk around it at least once a day. Soul cleansing. Enjoy it anytime but special in early mornings or late at night. You’ll have a whole park to yourself.
Safe to walk after dark.
