"Whether you think tavern-style or deep dish is the superior Chicago pizza, you can count on Bartoli’s in Roscoe Village for great versions of both. The thin pies are crispy and structurally sound enough that even if you go crazy with extra soppressata, a slice won’t flop like a thirsty houseplant. The deep dish has a nice balance of gooey cheese and their peppery tomato sauce, while the excellent cook on the crust creates a harmonious mix of crispy bottom and chewy inside. Like its pizza, this small restaurant is unabashedly Chicago, with sports memorabilia and a Blues Brothers wall painting. Cubs fans and families are often taking orders to go, but the best type of Bartoli’s pie is one that’s fresh out of the oven and eaten right there." - John Ringor
