| - I was introduced to Local by a friend who has since moved to California. :( We met for lunch on a nice, sunny day and as it was late afternoon the place was pretty empty. We shared a margherita pizza and I must say they have hands down the BEST margherita in the city. The crust is perfect, it's thin with a great mix of cheese, tomatoes and basil. Too many of the places I visit tend to sprinkle what looks like 5 pieces of basil across a large pizza. Not Local.
My only complaint is that it always takes forever to get a pizza. I've been here a handful of times, and it's the same every time - 40 minutes to an hour. Kind of ridiculous, really. First time I took my boyfriend, raving about their pizza, we ended up waiting close to an hour and a half because our first pizza was burned. Fortunately, we were in good moods and our bartender was mixing excellent drinks. It also helped that the manager came out himself to apologize, took our pizza off the bill, AND upgraded it to an entree size (we originally ordered the smaller one). AND my boyfriend ended up loving the pizza and we were back the next weekend. :D
I like going and just hanging out at the tables or at the end of the bar nearest the windows, even when it's not nice out. I love fresh air and, of course, South Side has excellent people watching. I hear this place gets hopping at night, but I wouldn't know as I haven't been out to South Side at night.
