Today was my best friend's last day in town so I decided to take her to the Central West End for lunch and some light shopping. We ended up at Pi Pizzeria. I'd heard many great things about Pi so I figured I'd give em a try, it was fantastico! Pi offers thin crust and deep dish pizza selections, and being a native Chicagoan I have to admit I had my reservations. Although a little skeptical, I tried the deep dish and I have to tell you, Pi did not disappoint! I ordered the Bucktown (named after one of Chicago's trendy North side neighborhoods). The Bucktown came w/ chicken, mozzarella, feta, red peppers, red onion and we substituted the artichoke for spinach, and held the green olives. All of those ingredients were held up on a light and airy cornmeal crust, which is what differentiates it from many deep dish pizzas. All the ingredients were very fresh making the pizza lighter than most but still sufficiently satisfying! Pi also caters to vegans and those that are gluten-sensitive by offering vegan and gluten-free crusts. If you are ever in the Central West End, please stop by Pi (and sip on a White Sangria while you wait)!
