  • I grew up on the South Side of Chicago and lived there until I was 23 when I followed my wife back to her hometown of Cleveland. I adjusted to the Browns and Indians from the Bears and Sox and I was able to find reliable (and cheaper) substitutes for just about every Chi-Town thing in the CLE except two things - #1) no NHL franchise (please get rid of the annoying Cavs and get hockey, would so much more fit the blue-collar demeanor of CLE) and #2) PIZZA - specifically deep dish. Had Geracis - okay. Mama Santas - what's the big deal? Deweys - hipster. Someone finally tipped me off to this ma and pa joint in Brunswick of all places. Having some time on a summer afternoon I drove from the east side out here to give the Chicago deep dish a go (the trophies they have won for sauce gave the drive an impetus). When I got the pizza from "Ma" I told her my pedigree - having been raised on Giordanos, Gino's East, Lou Malnati's (if you know Chicago, you know what I mean). She said they regularly go to Chicago and they know what Chicago pizza is supposed to be. So I got my medium Chicago-style deep dish sausage and pepp and headed out with it (not a sit down joint which actually may be a good indicator). I sat down with it and opened the box. It looked right and smelled right. It clearly needed to be devoured with a knife and fork (good sign). So I picked one up and finally realized that the Holy Grail had been found. The cheese was right (inch thick). The sauce was good (not too sweet, not too spicy and on top of the pie). The pepp was good - not greasy. My only criticisms - think the sausage could use more fennel (but I grew up with that I know many don't appreciate it as much) and the crust on the bottom of the pie could be a bit thicker (the edge was perfect). Minor criticisms after trying multiple pizzas around town. Only knock - I'm an East Sider - but I will take an occasional 40 minute drive to Brunswick over the 5 1/2 hour drive to Chi-Town or the packed in dry ice shipment from Lou Malnati's (which aint the same anyway). Thanks Great American Pizza Co. Someone in the CLE finally figured out how to cook a Chicago style pizza. Now can we work on the NHL so I can see my beloved (and champion - sorry CLE) Blackhawks? GO BEARS!
