Pizza Politics
Actually this has nothing to do with politics. It involves voting, I guess.
During Superbowl pre-game coverage, Bobby Flay had his "Chicago style tailgate" in which he stunned Chicagoans by making what he called an "Italian Beef" on the wrong kind of bread, with no cheese, no giardinara, and he put a dollop of mustard on it. Horror of horrors.
Obviously, I don't have a lot of fondness for the national TV chefs after seeing one of them desecrate a traditional food. That, and Bobby Flay is about as welcome south of Madison as Joe Francis as a feminist convention.
TV chef Rachel Ray is having a pizza competition. Chicago V. New York. Vote for your designee to represent Chicago.
Yours truly voted for Home Run Inn. Giordanos, in my mind, plays a close second, with Connies in third, replacing Aurelios.

I'd choose Edwardo's.
I voted for Rosengela's Pizza on 95thStreet - great brick fire thin-crust; however, Milano's at 110th & Western is the best stufed pizza around!
Rachel Ray?
Shouldn't she be limiting the contestants to places where you can get a meal under $5 or you can make it in under ten minutes?
She sure is perky though!
Pat's Pizza downtown beats all those chains that you mentioned hands down. Giordanos? ugh.
Lou Malnati's is the best
Peqouds is good
That place on Cicero far south is good for thin crust
Piece in Wicker Park is good
Unos has changed
Giordanos is overrated
Connies is good
but Lou Malnatis is the best
John D'Amico's is the best pizza joint in Chicago.
Barraco's ain't no slouch either.
T'in crust - gotta go with Roseangelas
T'ick/stuffed - if it is a must - Milano's This pizza would make ed Burke and Joe Moore hav kittens it's that good - they would want to ban it!
Gotta go with Hickey on Roseangelas. Great pizza with fresh ingredients. Lou Malnati's, Barraco's and Nick & Vitos on Pulaski are also worthy.
