Real Chicago Pizza Has Thin Crust
Pizza Hut recently launched a square-cut, thin-crust pizza that it’s marketing as “Chicago’s best kept secret.” And since the chain’s take on tavern-style pizza has been panned in local reviews, we’re telling you about our favorite spots to find this Chicago classic. Host Jacoby Cochran, producer Michelle Navarro, and City Cast marketing director Caroline Patton give their picks and engage in the eternal debate about which pizza style is the true Chicago style.
