If you're the type that scoffs at all the ultra-thin crust, super-premium pizza joints popping up all over town, this West Town spot may be for you. It features old-school Chicago thin-crust sliced into squares and loaded with cheese, in addition to ooey-gooey stuffed pies. There's a small selection of entrees like limon chicken and chicken Vesuvio plus pastas and salads. You can choose carryout or delivery, but you'll want to dine in; the funky blue booths for those dining in are a trip, as are the gold-leaf abstract figures on the walls. (Both are left over from the short-lived Boogie Café)
