well still haven't tried Burt's Place
Burt's Place was just reviewed in
Saveur magazine
to quote:
Baked in steel pans blackend from decades of use, his pies are shallower than most deep dish versions and emerge from the over with a top crust of caramelized cheese and crisp, flavorful bottom. The style, which Katz started to develop at pizzerias in the 1960's ....refer to as Starback style, after the original name of Burt's Place.
