Shoutout to Boni Vino, which has been in the same location on Van Buren since I started working downtown in the late '80s. Just polished off an individual cheese and sausage thin crust. Delicious.

i had a Geno's East 'tavern style' frozen pizza last night and it is up there with the worst pizza i've ever had. Had to eat something since it was my dinner but i threw half of it out.

the crust was 'high school cafeteria style', not 'tavern' . Even the cheese sucked.

I'm pretty sure that's the place where Furious Styles, sinicalypse, my business partner Joe, and I did shots after MCNUGGETS 80. I remember Joe and I dancing like lunatics and a bunch of women getting a big kick out of us. Then we shot Maker's Mark.

Their tavern style is trash.

Geno’s East frozen pizza is really bland. I’d take Jack’s over it.

Connie’s is surprisingly flavorful and has the cornmeal dusted crust. But home run inn is still my top pick for frozen.

Hey bigfans, its Gino's East

The original valley's Rosati's is still going in Tempe despite an ownership change (the previous owner owned many in AZ) a few years back. Spinato's/Aurelio's is abundant and a great choice. But a place called Vero Chicago Pizza is #1 for me. Same owners as Buddyz. They've opened up quite a few Malnati's around here since the first one in Phoenix back in '15 or '16, but there's still not a close enough one to get to.

We always said Vito and Nick's. I know your mom or dad is from the neighborhood, but I never figured out what distinguished the "Vito and Nick's" and the "Nick and Vito's" crowds. I remember saying "Nick and Vito's" once and my dad called me a Caller Bob. My dad also said that the Polish people called it "Nick and Vito's," but that wasn't always true. Maybe there's an isogloss somewhere I missed.

I love their pizza, but I feel that place has become too much of a hipster destination. When I was a kid, it was just one of many Soutwest Side pizza places: Palermo's, Fox's, Barraco's (although my family wasn't into that place so much), etc.

WGN has a pizza bracket going. I always liked this thread

This thread is just another example of big fan being an odd sort of cultural catalyst. Not only was he fully embracing Trump Twitter syntax (years before Twitter even went live) but he preempted this Dave Portnoy pizza review thing. And at least unlike Dave Portnoy he didn’t hold up a well done crispy Jack’s pizza as the pinnacle of the form. Boy might not have been entirely literate but he knew a thing or two about a thing or two.

You wonder if he even thinks about this place. If his mind even works that way.

No one thought of ranking pizzas before bigfan. We stand on the shoulders of giants

Palermo's has that sweet sauce which I just don't care for.

Connie's sucks. Good restaurant, but the pizza is nothing special.

The best pizza is the one in your neighborhood or your old neighborhood.

That was cool.

How did Connie's beat Vito and Nick's? Connie's has good food, but they're pizza is no better than Ricobene's. Sometimes Vito and Nick's can be awful, though.

_________________

Ricobene's had a location in Woodridge or Bolingbrook a while back. I never made it. I've been to mass at St Mary's of Perpetual Help out that way - would it be worth the trip to pick it up?

Not for pizza. The slices are awful.

All they have that is worth it--and it is worth it--is the breaded steak sandwich!!! 10/10, though I almost choked to death on it two times ago.
