Editorial Review for Pizza D.O.C. – by J.P. Anderson

The Scene
The takeout line is busy at this one-room pizza place, where families and off-duty cops gather, and a friendly staff serves up pizza, pasta and more. It's super-casual, but still classy: Black-and-white photos hang on mango walls, lighting is tastefully low, and the dining room is lined with dark wood tables and chairs.

The Food
The Pizza D.O.C. folks are proud of their 12-inch, wood-fired oven-cooked pizzas, and they should be. The crust is delicate and light, and pizza toppings are creative and delicious. Potato and rosemary pie is redolent of fresh herbs, earthy potatoes and olive oil; finely ground, subtly spicy sausage takes a mushroom and meat pie over the top. Pastas include spaghetti carbonara and penne pasta with mushrooms and prosciutto. There's also calamari, bruschetta, salads and more.

Pizza DOC is where I go in Chicago when I want a REAL pizza. Deep Dish Pizza should be called Italian Hotdish, not Pizza. People who complain about DOC's pizza's being soupy in the middle or too thin... You people need to stick with your cassaroles and hot dishes. You don't know what awesome pizza is- even while you're shoveling it into your own pieholes! If you have been searching for the best flavor and texture in Chicago- You MUST eat at Pizza DOC. You will LOVE IT too!

Pros: Best Pizza in Chicago, great service, great date spot

Cons: people who don't understand how perfect this pizza is
