"My favorite pizza in the city is (unsurprisingly) Great Lake — specifically the tarte flambée-style pizza with crème fraîche, onions, bacon, and a good crack of black pepper. They've done a few iterations (last time I was there, it was showered with scallions), and every one I've had is superb. I know some that may argue it isn't really pizza, due to the lack of cheese and tomato sauce...but it's spectacular, blistered, chewy crust with excellent toppings, so I think it absolutely counts."
Great Lake, 1477 West Balmoral Avenue,(between Glenwood Avenue and Clark Street), 773-334-9270.
