Chicagoist Names '20 Best' Pizzerias

Only two suburban pizza parlors made the list. Do you think pizza in Lake Forest or Lake Bluff is worthy of a spot on the list?

By Stan Golovchuk

Chicagoist just published their 20 Best Pizzas in the Chicago Area and Barnaby's of Northbrook, along with Burt's Place in Morton Grove made the cut as the only suburban spots on the list.

"With a crunchy, scalloped dough edge and a cornmeal dusted, cracker thin bottom Barnaby's is the pinnacle of thin crust pizza crust," Benjy Lipsman wrote about Barnaby's on Chicagoist

"The first thing to know is that you can’t just show up — Burt’s require reservations at least 24 hours in advance and you must be prepared to place your entire order when you make the reservation," Lizz Kannenberg wrote for Chicagoist. "Burt and his wife, Sharon, source all of their ingredients locally and don’t buy your pizza’s toppings until the day you’re coming in to eat it."

Who do you think makes the best pizza? Are any Lake Forest or Lake Bluff restaurants deserving of this recognition? Tell us in the comment section below.
