    I've never had better pizza

    The pizza at Great Lake is so good that it makes me sad to be a New Yorker. I don't know when I'll be back in Chicago to try it again, but I do know that every pizza I encounter from now on will be compared to the two I tasted at Great Lake. Some details: It's BYOB. Prices are high for regular pizza, but low for the best pizza in the country. The restaurant isn't really big enough to accommodate a lot of demand (seats maybe 12-14), so recognition will probably mean interminable waits for a table. In my opinion, it's worth it. I've read other reviews and not everyone had the near-religious experience I did, so no guarantees. But, for me, this is what everything else has to measure up to. It's just that good.

    The best pizza I have ever had in my life

    This is the best pizza I have ever had. Ever. Ever ever ever. I would go thousands of miles for this pizza. I would punch a dude in the face for this pizza. I would weep and beg and cry for this pizza. We had three pies: spinach, mushroom, and red onion & sausage. Each was better than the next. The wood-burning oven created a perfectly charred, chewy crust. The cheese was fresh and creamy. The seasonings were ideal. The service was stellar. This is the best thin-crust pizza in Chicago, the best pizza overall in Chicago, possibly the best pizza in the world.
