As an east coaster and avid pizza fan, I appreciate the differences between styles, but will not elevate any one
style above another. Comparison's among styles is perfectly acceptable, though.
My comment about Malnati's was based on a rather small sample size of those familiar with the differences from a couple of years ago The small group discussing it was mixed, I seemed to be the primary Lou's champion
So, Bacino's, eh? Since I can easily do pizza for successive dinners (and to be truthful, successive meals), it would appear that Bacino's and Lou's are my 1-2 punch for the three days I'll be out there in September...
Is that the Bacino's on Lincoln and Belden? Nearest CTA line/station? OK neighborhood for late evening? TIA.
