Our take: Chicago pizza with the sports memorabilia still on the walls: crisp tavern-style thin crust, deep dish with a peppery tomato sauce, and the kind of neighborhood hum that never needs a reservation. Bring a red and a stack of napkins.
Wine Pairing: Pizza and red wine is a long-running Chicago marriage. Pour a Chianti Classico or a Montepulciano d'Abruzzo for the sauce, or a lightly chilled Lambrusco for the sausage and the deep dish.
Beer Pairing: A Pilsner or an amber lager is the tavern-style pairing. For the deep dish, a pale ale or a hoppy lager from a local brewery holds up.
Spirits Pairing: After the last slice, an amaro over ice, or a Negroni built at the table, ties it all together. A rye Manhattan plays well with the sausage.
