Castel Gandolfo: A New Coal-Oven Pizzeria Worth Saving

recommended this to my bro who lives downtown... he said it rocked. he's not quite the serious eater that I am so I didn't get a full break-down of its merits but the fact that he was happy was good enough to me... HAHA, actually, I just realized while writing this, I have gotten him to go to a certain pizza joint in Phoenix. he said is was good but not amazing... I think I may have hyped it too much (and for the record, I havent been to PB yet). anyways, thanks for the recommendation Zemans!

Mundelein, Illinois: Bill's Pizza & Pub

been goin there for a good 20 years and i agree with what DinnerDuJour said... nicely put Z-man! if you're ever back up in the area, give me a holler. you need to try the Hawaiian pizza there (i know, not to traditional but it's awesome) and there is a place right down the street for some great carne asada tacos...
