Is there such a thing around here for thin crust? We used to really like Martino's. Lou Malnati's is too far. Is Papa Severio's good? Rosati's is ok and of course Giordanos is great for thick crust.
We're thin crust pizza starved plus nothing like having the pie appear at the door.
Don't rule Giordano's out for thin crust. I happen to like their thin crust better than the traditional Chicago-style, and prefer it to just about to anyone else around here. But I'm a pizza freak - could eat it every day - and also like Barone's and Papa Saverio's. Gino's East in Wheaton also delivers to Glen Ellyn, and they're very good.
THE.BEST.PLACE. (other than the old Chuck's place in addison) Gianorio's in Lombard, across the street and down the block from Mr. Z's on Main St. Lombard!always has a coupon on line too. Be sure to order Extra thin! Wow -good stuff. GianoriosThis message has been edited. Last edited by: lupechennel,

Forgot about Gino's east in Wheaton and didn't know they delivered to GE! Gianarios in Lombard sounds excellent for thin crust plus it sounds like a local place which can be really good depending on personal pizza preference. Extra thin sounds good- Being diabetic to truly chow down on Pizza- less crust is better- thus the quest. Amatos we haven't tried either. The website looks like it's a good place to take family + friends.
Actually, it's probably been three years or so since I ordered from Papa Saverio's, so I suppose I shouldn't speak to its quality. I had no idea that Curly's pizza had closed (but then, I'd never ordered from them) but can vouch that the original Curly's is open, as Proud Hubby & I just ate there this evening.
"Too far?" What is too far if you are looking for a greatest pizza on earth? Round trip to get it, one hour and 20 minutes. Drive down, and when you get 20 minutes out, call them. Trust me, it is worth every second. For the best thin crust pizza on earth, go here:
New Haven style pizzas...pretty close to Napoli style. Amazing stuff. Typically, the best of this or that is not worth the effort of the drive...as Bob Greene said, "never travel far for what someone else considers the World's greatest pizza"...but, IMO, this is worthy if you are downtown. Avoid eating those stupid, stuffed manhole covers that we seem to think is pizza in this town.

This stuff. To each his own, but I find these things offensive and largely inedible. Globs of cheese and tooth-shattering crust...just isn't for me. I suppose you can eat it if you like it.
Not sure who the creeper is holding the pie...but he doesn't look strong enough to do so. Those things are freakin' heavy.
