\"Sergios<\/a>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 my previous choice burning down, not my fault), my “go to” pizza became the thin crust at Sergio’s. They’ve moved a couple times since then, and changed owners, but they are still grinding out great pies for the past thirty years.<\/p>\n

Passing through the burbs this summer, on a mission to look at some horses for sale, it was appropriate to re-sample Sergio’s, and see how my memory compared to reality. \u00a0While most people identify Chicago with “Deep Dish Pizza” (except Jon Stewart), the thin crust pies are really excellent, cracker crusts, mounds of real cheese, excellent sausage, and square cut.<\/p>\n

This is the 16 incher. They have larger, smaller, thick crust and stuffed – a full menu of other goodies, too, sandwiches, ‘cue, \u00a0pasta, salads, and small bites.<\/p>\n

Sergio’s crust is flaky, the sizable \u00a0hand-pulled sausage chunks are flavorful, and the pie has spectacularly high quality cheese. \u00a0You’ll also notice a distinctive difference with the tomato sauce; all of their sauces are made in house, and the pizza sauce is very hearty with a full tomato flavor.<\/p>\n

Another upside with Sergio’s is they charge 15-20% less than local competitors. \u00a0A welcome respite.<\/p>\n

Here’s the Sergio’s menu<\/a>. \u00a0Got a craving or miss Chicago foods? \u00a0Here are some companies that ship pizza<\/a>s, dogs, and more.<\/p>\n
