JJ Twigs Pizza Review, Palatine, IL
We first started going to JJ Twigs shortly after we moved to the Chicago suburbs in the 80s, and my kid was just a sprout. They had peanuts on the table, and she got a huge kick out being able to throw the shells on the floor…. being messy on purpose! I liked the thin […]

Papa Saverios Pizza Review
There is some relationship between two Chicago-based chains, Rosati’s and Papa Saverio’s, but there aren’t any clues to that online. I don’t think they share any ownership, but they both list the same Italian immigrant Papa Saverio Rosati,as their inspiration and recipe source. Probably some sibling or cousin dispute, but no matter. Rosati’s has really […]

Reggios Frozen Pizza Review
I’ve written about Reggio’s before; this one, and competitor Home Run Inn (HRI), were both born in Chicago pizzerias, 40-50 years ago. The companies are still in the restaurant business, and do a good business making frozen pies for regional distribution and nationwide shipping direct to enthusiasts. I’d venture a guess that these two pies […]

Lou and his wife Jean opened the first Lou Malnati’s in 1971, in the Chicago suburb […]

Barrington, IL – Sergios Pizza Review
Some years ago, we relocated from Los Angeles to this Norman Rockwellian idyllic Chicago suburb. It was for our daughter’s benefit, we wanted her to have a great education in a safe environment, and grow up with midwestern values. For the most part, it was a successful move. At the time, after local exploration, (and […]

Pizza Sizes Keep Growing!
Pizza Sizes Keeping Pace Or Causing American Waistline Growth?? Back in my day, there were two sizes of pies at most pizzerias, small and large, and due to commonly available industry tools, they were 12” and 14” in diameter, respectively. At some point, “personal sized’ pizzas, generally 6” or 8” were made available, as a […]

Reggios Pizza Review
I’m reluctant to try almost any freezer pizza that says it can be microwaved. Just never works out, in my opinion. But Reggio’s is one of my favorite frozen brands, and the individual sized were on an endcap and on sale, so I thought I’d give one a whirl. I’ve tried the size before, […]
