Spoiler alert: \u00a0Taylor Street carries Pepsi products.<\/p>\n<p>It took less than 25 minutes to be ready, and came out of the oven piping hot just as I arrived. \u00a0Aesthetically, it was a work of art. Taste wise, for my pizza palate, it was perfect. \u00a0Flavorful sausage, mild sauce, a sprinkling of herbs (such a small thing always makes a pizza special to me). \u00a0The crust was crispy on the outside, and chewy as you worked your way in, as it should be. Excellent &#8220;pull&#8221; on the cheese, and best of all, cheese, toppings, sauce all adhered to the crust nicely.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor Street will be one of my &#8220;go-to&#8221; places when I&#8217;m in Chicagoland, for sure.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.taylorstpizza.com\/coupons.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coupons<\/a>, \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.taylorstpizza.com\/menu.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Store Menu<\/a>. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.taylorstpizza.com\/customCatering.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catering Menu<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/taylor.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-10965\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/taylor-1024x1021.jpg\" alt=\"Taylor Street Pizza Review\" width=\"430\" height=\"429\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Updated, November 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Had this 18&#8243; beauty last night. \u00a0Incredible.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12611\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12611\" style=\"width: 429px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/20141101_170143.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-12611\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/20141101_170143-1024x673.jpg\" alt=\"Giant Pizza\" width=\"429\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12611\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">18&#8243; of Cheesy, Sausagey Goodness!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/171\/976129\/restaurant\/Illinois\/Taylor-Street-Pizza-Algonquin\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none; width: 200px; height: 146px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/link\/976129\/biglink.gif\" alt=\"Taylor Street Pizza on Urbanspoon\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Taylor Street Pizza Review<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a name that is synonymous with Chicago&#8217;s &#8220;Little Italy&#8221; neighborhood, the seven location Taylor Street Pizza in Chicago&#8217;s NW suburbs has a rep to live up to.
