No Surprise Chicago is Home to One of World’s Best Pizzerias, Have You Tried It Yet?
Chicago is already famous for its pizza, but a Streeterville favorite just proved it belongs on the world stage. Earlier this week in Naples, Italy, the annual 50 Top Pizza awards revealed their ranking of the 100 Best Pizzerias in the World. Out of the entire U.S., only one Chicago spot made the cut, landing an impressive No. 26 ranking worldwide.
What Makes This Pizza So Special?
The judges at 50 Top Pizza spent a year evaluating restaurants based on everything from the quality of the dough and toppings to customer service and beverage lists. That kind of attention to detail is exactly why this Chicago restaurant keeps getting noticed. In fact, this marks the fifth time it has been named among the top 50 in the U.S., and the second time it’s been ranked among the world’s top 100.
The Chicago Pizzeria Behind the Ranking
So which place should be on your must-try list? Robert’s Pizza & Dough Co. in Streeterville. Known for its perfectly blistered crust and inventive toppings, Robert’s has quietly become a powerhouse in the pizza world. For us Rockfordians, a stop for some pizza can easily work into a day trip or weekend visit.
