6 Down, 19 to Go: Louisa's Pizza of Crestwood
We got back on the top 25 pizza places in Chicago routine with a stop at Louisa's on the southside in Crestwood. Nat described this as the "best pizza she's ever tasted" and would not only come back for it, but would recommend this place to ANYONE. That's how good this was. My only complaint was that our crust was a bit burnt - and not in a good Pequods/Burt's Place-type of carmelized burnt. This was just plain burnt.
I think we had sausage, pepperoni and spinach, but I don't totally remember. This place has all the charm of your buddy's parent's basement that hasn't been renovated since the mid 1980's. Carpet on the floors, Chianti bottles hanging from the ceiling, etc. But...they do churn out a great pie.
You know you're on the south side when the front door specifies that men can't walk in wearing a tank top. I am guessing that JP McCarthy's in Winnetka doesn't have the same problem.
The pie in all of it's glory. Look at the age on those pans. They've served a pie or three.
The pizza upskirt shows off a nice crust.
