With all due respect, and I say that knowing from good sources that Homewood's a nice place to grow up...Homewood's not Chicago. Neither is Skokie, of course, nor LaGrange, or any of the other places where they've got suburban pizza. Yes, there are some reasonble substitutes if you don't feel like traveling. But let's not be silly.

Feel free to taste the others to see if they're worth eating when you don't have the energy to get somewhere better. Otherwise, stay in the city and eat at Uno or Due.

By the way, just as the Uno FRANCHISES are a cheap imitation, ask yourself whether you can possibly eat the BEST pizza at a chain. Giordano's and Edwardo's are competitive pizzas. Lance Armstrong? No way.
