    I loved me some Shakey's as a kid. I could sit and watch the bands play for hours...

    That St. Louis style is just stolen from thin crust in Chicago.

    American Dream is bomb. I'm a big fan of Baby Doll pizza (fairly new, on Stark). Hot Lips. Abby's. Pietro's. Escape from New York.

    But I always took Zags as a Chuck E. Cheese pizza kinda guy.

    There was something by the name of Oregon Pizza Co. (or something similar).

    There was also the Pizza Baron out further, but I think that was on Division.

    Famous Bob's was the spot back in the day. i think it closed up shop sometime around 2000, maybe a year or 2 before that.

    Shit, now you guys are talking my ol' stompin' grounds. That's my hood.

    I spent so many evenings eating at The Original Taco House and Denicola's...... I almost stopped going to OTH when they changed their guacamole, but they brought it back pretty quickly after so many complaints.

    But do try Denicola's pizza. It's pretty bomb.

    Blind Onion is bomb, but a little too heavy for me.

    Oh shit, forgot about Blind Onion. Many a lunches in HS were there. Only on sunny days though since you had to buy the pizza out of the kitchen door since it's a bar.

    I can't decide which would be funnier: Taking this literally, or finding that it's some sort of euphemism...
