Chicago may be famous for its Deep Dish Pizza, but ask any local, and they’ll tell you the real MVP is the thin crust, “Tavern-style” pizza… you know, the one cut into squares, not slices. It’s the pizza you can crush a whole box of without breaking a sweat, and it's finally getting the love it deserves. But those basic “Top 10” listicles floating around the internet? Yeah, they don’t even scratch the surface. So strap on your favorite pizza helmet because we’re about to take you on a deep dive into Chicagoland’s best spots serving up this crispy, cheesy, square-cut wonder. Let’s rideee!
