"Vito and Nick’s has been around since the 1950s, and is an institution worthy of its place in the Chicago Pizza Hall of Fame. Their specialty is cracker-crust pizza, which is super thin and crispy, with bubbly browned cheese and spicy tomato sauce. Inside, it’s a total dive: drop ceilings, neon beer signs, and wood-paneled walls. But this is the best kind of bar pizza, and it wouldn't taste the same in a shiny new space.

The slightly sweet tomato sauce is mild, but a generous sprinkle of oregano gives the pie plenty of flavor. photo credit: Kim Kovacik Sausage Pizza Everything about the pepperoni also applies to the sausage. The spicy meat complements the sauce and you can expect the the inside slices to have the same cracker-like crunch as the edge pieces. photo credit: Kim Kovacik Steak Sandwich Yes, there are non-pizza dishes on the menu, but don’t let those distract you. The just-OK steak sandwich is one of these. Stick with the pies." - Adrian Kane
