in order to find a Chicago deep dish pizza that they could say nice things about, Saveur had to a) leave Chicago — the pizza in question is in the suburb of Morton Grove — and b) choose a pie that varies significantly from the norm in style and quality. HA!
I quote: “in recent years, a number of pizza purists have forsaken the belly bombs served in many downtown pizza parlors in favor of the leaner and fresher-tasting pies proffered at a pizzeria called Burt’s Place…” And even so, i would have to taste them myself before I’d be willing to grant them a special dispensation.
Try Crust, Spacca Napoli, or Coal Fire. You won’t be disappointed.
