Armando's Pizza
- 1591 Lee St.

- Price range: $$ ($9-$15)
This family-owned Italian eatery has made a name for itself since it opened in Des Plaines in 2004. Besides the thin-crust and pan pizza, favorites here include barbecue ribs, chicken marsala and chicken Vesuvio, cooked with garlic and extra-virgin olive oil. Chef Armando Gonzalez is constantly masterminding new pizzas; a recent creation was the Bermuda Triangle, made with fresh cilantro, Bermuda onions and barbecue sauce instead of tomato sauce. Keep an eye out for all-you-can-eat pizza nights, and expect a crowd on Fridays for the all-you-can-eat fish fry.

I would like to recommend the Spinach and Sausage Stuffed Pizza (definitely up there with Lou Malnati's) and their ribs, their sauce is awesome.
