If you are a fan of Chicago style stuffed pizza, hooves down the best Iâve had is from a small family chain called Leonaâs Pizzeria. Great crust, fresh toppings, and a tomato sauce that is heavenly.

As Jon Stewart once observed in the great NY vs. Chicago pizza debate: Chicago stuffed pizza isnât even pizza, itâs a casserole.
And heâs not wrong - about the casserole part. It may be madness, but itâs a very delicious madness.
But Chicago stuffed pizza >> NY wimpy thin stuff each day and every day.

Also, I hate this thread for existing.
Now I want pizza, but unless itâs Friday or Saturday, the closest pizza place is an hour drive away.

Oh yea? You like terrible human beings running the place making your terrible pizza? Odd take but I guess you just have a thing for the bottom of the barrel.
Iâm more of a papa Johnâs kind of guy as far as chain pizza goes. Godfathers taco pizza is my treat I get once in a blue moon, if it was cheaper pizza thatâd be all I get but they are the most expensive out there. Usually we end up with Caseyâs; pepperoni or cheeseburger for me.
I donât really get peopleâs fascination with putting specific pizza on a pedestal and claiming other is trash. Itâs pizza, even when itâs bad itâs still pretty good.

Excuse me, thatâs awful 
Sadly they only have one shop open right now.
I have a feeling they might be struggling to keep the other one open.
I recommend Bartoliâs if youâre in Chicago, and if you can get to the NW suburbs (my old stomping grounds), make your way over the Uncle Jerryâs Pizza Company.
There was a place in my hometown that used to make great pizzas but they closed up shop years ago. The made the mistake of switching locations and I think it cost them in the long run.

Oh please, heâs wrong, but youâre wrong and dramatic.

We had a local pizza place that was run by this old lady from Illinois.
But then she retired and sold it to this guy who just wanted to cut costs and maximize profits. On top of that, most of the good staff left with him as boss and got replaced with idiot local kids with no work ethic (I wasnât paying attention to the time when I ordered a slice of pepperoni and twenty five minutes went by, only for them to then tell me itâd be another half an hour before they cooked an entire pizza just to provide me with one slice).
They understandably went out of business.
Now thereâs just a pizza truck two days out of the week, because the city council is run by the next city over (which does everything in its power to squash anything remotely threatening to the socioeconomical monopoly the city holds as a college town) and they refused to give the permits for them to open a shop proper unless they bent over backwards five times and forked over more money than itâs worth.
Thing is with Papa Johns, at least the ones over here, itâs as if youâre calling a call-center just to order a simple pizza pie. I ask, âI want to order a pepperoni pizza, with green peppersâ, and I always get this lady that is reading a script and itâs almost as if Iâm talking to an Amazon employee for an item return lmao
Wouldnât know⌠They havenât been able to deliver to my house for over a decade even though they are less than two miles away. We would order occasionally to test them out. Then two hours later we call to cancel the order because it hasnât even been started yet.
Not a big deal though. A local place called Vinceâs always delivered our orders in 20 minutes. They were 5 miles away.
Your mistake is calling instead of ordering online. Donât interact with humans if you can help it, when delivering be sure to take advantage of the leave food at the door option.

Holy cow, this sounds just like a local Chicago Dog place we had in town. Run by a retired Chicago cop, sold it to a local, tried to add local food and not get authentic Chicago ingredients. Staff was good with the original guy, terrible with the new owner.
Eventually got sold to someone else that converted it to a BBQ place. Decent food, but the Chicago stuff is GONE and I hate it.
Iâve seriously considered opening a real Chicago food shop here in town, just so I can eat like a normal person again.

True that. Itâs only Papa Johns that does this though, at least around here. They turn a 2 minute order into a 5 minute back n forth ordeal lol
