Chicago Pizza Tours

04/09/2025

We are only 10 days away from doing a special Chicago Pizza Tour for a special tour we are doing for Doughnate Pizza. We'll be invading Ranalli's Lincoln Park, Professor Pizza, and Zazas Pizzeria for a fun afternoon of slices and deep-dives into what makes these places so special. Please spread the word as this will help local charities and small business simultaneously!

Anytime you get quoted in an article alongside Pizza School NYC & Slow Rise Pizza Co it feels pretty special. Thanks Sarah Moore for including me in this Chowhound piece on Grilling Pizza! Making me remember past partner of the tour RedFLAME Pizzeria!

Frank has officially retired, not sure anyone deserved that more than him. We wish him the best and will miss his pizza forever.

Proprietor Frank Cale has sold his Sano’s Pizzeria location after owning it for nearly 50 years.

I love Rockford! As a kid my family take trips to stay at The Clocktower Inn and spend days at Magic Waters. I know those days are long gone but still a pizza at Capri afterward was the best part!

Thanks WROK for the mention!

This is a "must-take" food tour for anyone in Illinois who enjoys eating pizza.

One of our favorite tours every year! This year we had way too much pizza, tons of ball busting, one random steering wheel, and about 37 Negronis

Talking pizza is sexy, in this one we talk start-up, small business. I love doing these interviews because it forces me to take a step back and evaluate myself. Big thanks to Step By Step Business!

We are such a fan of the podcast Destination: Eat Drink. We've listened to great episodes as a preview before trips to Italy and France, as well as other cities in the US. Jon Porter (Founder) was on for a 3rd time and focussed a little more on Chicago's Bucktown neighborhod in this episode, a neighborhood he lived in for 5 years. Please enjoy!

I'm with Jon Porter of Chicago Pizza Tours talking the best of Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood and pizza from the deepest deep dish to crusts as thin as pages of the bible.
