Every few months I blog about Pizza. I love it.
It's probably my favorite food, so I seek out the best in every city I've visit throughout the world (literally!). Apart from Venice and little cafes dotted along the Amalfi Coast, the most delicious pizzas I've enjoyed have been in New York, Boston, and Los Angeles - until my recent visit to Chicago last week.
Pizza was on the menu for the first night there and a friend who lives in Chicago insisted we go to Giordano's Pizza.
WOW!! Their pizza is truly magnificent.
The Thin Crust Pizza had a generous amount of Black and Green Olives and an abundance of mouth-watering mozzarella. I think that's the secret to their extra-ordinarily good taste, although the tomato sauce is full of flavor as well.
The Stuffed Pizza resembled a hot, freshly baked cheesecake with a bright red sauce, only more tempting, simmering with mounds of delicious melted cheese and "toppings" (only the ingredients are not on top, they're inside the pizza).
According to the brothers that created Giordano's: "The thing about pizza is that like everything good, it has to have an evolution. To stay the same means to go backward. The recipe probably began with our great, great, great, great, great-grandmother .... and it's still developing."
