The other night I showed a house in Chicago’s popular north side neighborhood, Andersonville. Long known for its diversity, Andersonville is now also known as the home of “The Best Pizza”.
Earlier this year GQ Magazine named the Mortadella Pie at Great Lake in Andersonville as #1 among “America’s 25 Best Pizzas.” I find the title a little confusing since the magazine’s cover promotes “The 25 Best Pizzas on Earth”, but you get the idea. It’s great pizza!
Great Lake is located at 1477 W. Balmoral, just east of Clark. If you decide the try the pizza, be prepared for a long wait!
Here’s an ABC7 clip on the Andersonville pizzeria’s new fame:
