Need your Help..........

I need some advice on some of the best Pizza resturants to go to. You see me and my wife will be in Chicago in November for my son's graduation from the Navy Boot camp. So i need some suggestions on some resturants to go to will we are there. I am on a semi-limited budget , i love the down to earth local places to eat i find them to be the best. You guys know best so any help would be great. We love steak, seafood, pizza i really want to try the best pizza place, italian.

Thanks
Sid

PS I will be staying i belive in Glenview with my sister-inlaw if this helps

 

There is no "best" place to go; my favorite place near where you will be (by the naval training station) is the Silo in Lake Bluff. It's REALLY down to earth; I'd not eat steak or seafood there, but the pizza is great and it's pretty darn cheap. It's about a mile or so away from Lake Forest Sportscars, on Route 176 just west of Waukegan Road.

 

2 words for Chicago style deep dish pizza................Lou Malnatis.....................period.............the end.

There is one not too far from Great Lakes in Lake Forest at 840 S Waukegan Road. Give them a call at 847-735-1515!
Congrats on your sons graduation from Boot!

 

Thanks, sounds good and will go there and try it.

Thank you for your kind words, we are very proud of our son.......

 

Giordanos' Pizza, Several locations around the Chicago area, and the best stuffed spinach pizza in the world there is a location near Glenview
8630 GOLF RD. NILES, IL (847) 297-7300

 

+2 !!!!!!!!! the end.

 

I actually prefer the thin crust from Lou's. Either way, it's good.

 

Sorry, but their deep dish ends up like soup. Instead, I opt for Gino's East sausage/mushroom. And as good as it is hot, try the leftovers later on from the fridge.

 

Ditto, and I prefer thin crust.

 

Best Italian Style pizza period is at Armands in Elmwood Park, Or Arlington Heights.

 

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU'SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

gotta hit Lou Malnati's

the best

 

Gino's used to be the bomb, something changed when they went back to private ownership. Still good, but diffrent than it was.
You have to have Lou's at the restaurant, its nice and crispy that way, it gets soggy when you do carry out.

 

Armands is good thin crust for sure. Aurelios and Barnabys are great for thin crust too.

 

congrats on your son. My wife is retired Navy. Joined at 18 out at 39 gotta love that. If I would of known fom her when I was 18 I would of joined in a heartbeat.

 

ABSOLUTELY GINO'S EAST!!!!!!! Oh great, no I have a craving. It might actually be worht the 3.5 hour drive. Too bad I have plans tonight...

WHOA!!!!!!! I knew i could depend on all my fellow Chicago friends for advice. I guess what i am going to have to do is hit them all and make my own decsion. I can not wait to get there and try them.

I would also like to thank you all for your kind words for my son and all your advice on Pizza resturants. You all are what makes Chicago a great place so thanks.

 

I held back from any pizza recommendation (because I was worried it would just be moved to the P&R section)... but as a Navy veteran - my best to your son!
