Dinos Pizza Review – NW Suburban Chicago Illinois
Dinos Pizza Review – NW Suburban Chicago Illinois There still exists a “Little Italy” near downtown Chicago, but there’s not much Italian left to it, ‘cept or a once a year weekend festival.

Gloriosos Fresh Italian Sausage Review – Milwaukee, WI
Today I used some of their fresh Italian sausages for a home-made pizza. I only picked up two, of the “hot” not “sweet” variety, and they run about four ounces apiece at about a buck twenty per. I have this quirk which there is no rhyme nor reason for. When I’m making a sausage pizza, I […]
