I had thin crust at Malnati's before it got big.
I recall it being good, but I was more interested in the girl that
wanted me to take her there.
That was in Lincolnwood, pretty close to Bones, one of those Melman
places. Good ribs.
But again, it was the same girl that wanted me to take her there.
One thing about Malnati's is we had to wait in line.
I hate that from Navy days, and normally turn around go elsewhere.
But she wanted to wait, I and wanted nookie.
It all worked out.

Anything for a good piece of pizza. :-)

Wanted to try out that place on Higgins you put me onto.
Since she's a cook, she's talked me out of it so far, but it'll
happen.
Anyway, she reminded me of a Pizza Hut pizza we got in Punta Gorda
last year. And I remembered another time I took the kids to a Pizza
Hut down there, somewhere on the west coast.
Wouldn't think of entering one up here, but they were real good pizzas
for Florida, and the mozz was good.
Maybe they ship it from Chicago.
Let me know what you think about that.

You *have* to keep bringing this up, Vic?

Have you ever been to Barnaby's?

Lou Malnatis and Giordanos will ship. I don't know of any others. I
have some on the way right now!

Been to all those. Barnaby's had a 1/2 lb char-broiled Burger I'd get
when I went there, which was maybe once a month some years.
Never tried their pizza.
Haven't been for some years, since they closed the one on Waukegan
road.
Have to find a $25 Gift Cert for Giordano's a daughter gave me last
Christmas. She worked at the Higgins location in Rosemont when she
was home from school.
There's 2 Giordanos close by, one in Morton Grove and one in Niles.
Under 10 minutes to either one.
I mentioned before my wife is a cook, and she's constantly holding me
back from gorging on pizza.
Not complaining, mind you. Just wish she'd go away for awhile.

--Vic

Yep. Maybe you should give her a day off an do the "cooking"!

Damn you guys.

That would be NY style pizza.
