| - After having just taken a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's summer home, Taliesin West, just down the street, we decided to stop by Spinato's for some pizza.
I was immediately surprised as I walked in the door... Chicago-themed posters and decorations everywhere! I turned to my brother and told him, "Did I really just fly here from Chicago yesterday or am I still in Chicago?"
Apparently the family that started this chain is from Chicago.... nice.
So how does this place compare to actual pizza from Chicago? Well, first off, don't expect a deep dish or even a pan pizza, think more of a thin crust, party-cut (cut in squares) Chicago style, akin to Aurelio's. Well, that's what we got anyway. I think there is a thicker crust pizza as well.
Guess what? We got the "Chicago" pizza.
It was really tasty! The crust was thin and crisp, the sauce was flavorful and somewhat sweet. Ingredients seemed to be decently fresh. I liked that they serve the pizza on a grate to keep the crust nice and crispy.
A great place to go for a little taste of some of Chicago!*
