Our take: West Town’s tavern pizza temple: where thin crust dreams come true and reservations are harder to score than Cubs playoff tickets. This isn’t just pizza – it’s an exclusive Chicago tavern-style ritual, complete with that mythical cracker-crisp crust and perfectly burnt cheese edges. Bring a bottle and join the cult.
Wine Pairing: For tavern-style perfection, bring a bold Chianti Classico or a structured Barbera d'Alba. The acidity cuts through the cheese while complementing the crispy crust. For white, try a crisp Verdicchio.
Beer Pairing: A classic Chicago beer like Old Irving's Della Kölsch pairs perfectly with tavern pizza. For a hoppier option, try Half Acre's Daisy Cutter Pale Ale to cut through the richness.
Spirits Pairing: Amaro Montenegro makes a perfect digestif after tavern pizza. For variety, bring a bottle of CH Distillery's Amaro for a local Chicago finish.
