Current cravings list

Working the hotel front desk downtown means I hear tourists argue about deep dish vs thin crust like it’s Marvel vs DC, meanwhile I’m just over here in Pilsen quietly doing my own cinematic universe of Chicago pies. This is my short list of pizzas that actually live rent-free in my brain — from caramelized pan monsters to tavern-cut legends and one chaotic pizza pot pie that feels like a practical effect from a 90s movie. If you’re hungry after class, a shift, or a late-night Letterboxd spiral, start here.
