\"Capri<\/a>I have driven through Merrillville, Indiana countless times and never stopped’ it just happens to be perched at the intersection of a number of highways leaving (or entering) the greater Chicago area(I-65, 90,80, 94, and US 30).\u00a0 So if I ever have stopped and simply don’t remember it, the stop was either for gas, or to pee, or to grab a Slim Jim or something.<\/p>\n

Seems I was stuck here recently due to snow, tho, and found myself holed up in a motel that had no services nor anything around it, so I fired up the Grubhub.com screen on my phone and perused my choices.<\/p>\n

Having narrowed them down (no sushi or Mexican, thanks),\u00a0 I have to cross reference them on Yelp, then go back to GrubHub to order.\u00a0 So I spot Capri Pizza and note they have been making pies in the Chicago area for decades, and I saw one line somewhere in their puffery that “they grind their own meat daily.”\u00a0 Me too!<\/p>\n

I’m a sucker for great sausage on pizza, so I took the plunge and ordered a sausage (only) pie and hoped that while I was too wimpy to drive that night, that the pizza driver would not be.\u00a0 I know he would be well rewarded for the effort.<\/p>\n

The pie came. Still hot. Take in the aroma.\u00a0 Ahhhhhh.\u00a0 It’s thin crust, “tavern cut,” as they say around Chicago (squares, not slices), so l lift one out, it’s got heft, from a lot of cheese, which is seriously melty, and I note the chunks of sausage are ample size and hand pulled.<\/p>\n

And yes, it was great. Crispy but chewy crust, gobs o cheese, light sauce, and TERRIFIC SAUSAGE.\u00a0 Ground daily and hand pulled!\u00a0 So satisfying!<\/p>\n

Here’s their dope and menu.\u00a0 I’d go again, hell yes.\u00a0 Menu, locations<\/a>.<\/p>\n
