Chicagoist: My favorite is the mighty Minotaur specialty pie which is topped with Italian beef, giardiniera, peppers, garlic, provolone, and mozzarella; it's an aggressive, delicious onslaught of strong flavors. Read more.
ChicagoHotlist: Large, thin crust, pepperoni pizza. Just try it.
Joe Checkler: Some people seem to think the sausage on the Malnati classic is too saturated with sausage and they prefer the pepperoni. I am not one of those people, but the chunks certainly are aggressive.
Kimberly Agin: Greatest deep dish pepperoni pizza ever. I still dream about its amazingness to this day (visited 4 months ago). Only problem is it gets crowded and takes a bit of time to get your food. So drink up.
Garlanda Freeze-Puzio: Grab a mimosa and pair with best pizza in town. Pepperoni has a little spice. Just the right kick!!
Eater: Try the Prosciutto, Margherita or Soprano topped with hot capicola, sausage & pepperoni & sopressata for meat lovers. Stop in on Wednesdays for the best deal in town: buy 1 pie and get one free. Read more.

Maya Jimenez 😬: The pepperoni pizza is amazing. The crusty is thin but also fluffy.
Cole Kennedy: Happy Camper is a good conundrum: It's a near perfect sports bar, but it's also a hip spot with great atmosphere, killer pizza and bar food, craft beer, and a dope soundtrack.
Eater: Many items are named after friends, saying spending time with your favorite pizza is as rewarding as spending time with a lovable pet. Like Josh: pulled pork, pineapples, jalapeños and barbecue sauce. Read more.
