It's got that somethin' somethin'!

I have been going to Ach-n-Lou's since I was a little girl. There is a taste to their pizza that I cannot place. I simply call it "The Taste", and I LOVE IT! I had moved away from the Chicago area for a few years, and no one makes pizza like sweet home Chicago. Why they even bother to try, I'll never know. I've recently moved back and Ach-n-Lou's is still every bit as great-tasting as I remembered. I was VERY excited to see that they now offer an ultra thin crust. This crust is crispy and perfect and I hope they keep making it. The only problem I've found with them is that I have to tell them to cut my pizza into squares. Something I'm use to doing out of state, but not in the Chicago area. (For some reason, I HATE triangle-cut pizza. Unless it's deep dish or pan, it should be cut into squares). The location is a bit undesirable, the parking is non-existent, and I wish they'd offer a more extensive drink menu, but I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the pizza. It is EXCELLENT, and no matter how mad I was about receiving triangle-cut pizza . . . I'll keep going back again and again. They're worth making sure I remember to ask for square-cut. If you want a good pizza, you can count on Ach-n-Lou's. They taste the same every time. No surprises, and that's a wonderful thing!
- Pros: Fantastic ultra thin crust pizza
- Cons: Parking, location, not enough drink options on bar

Chicago's Very Best Pizza
by weberflc at Citysearch
I have been going there my whole life with all of my family all of my friends as well. I have eaten all of the top rated chicago pizza and this pizza blows the competition out of the water. The only reason for the lack of recongnition is the distance from the down town. It is a quick 35 muinet drive from down town in the west suburbs. This is chicago's one and only pizza place. Anybody i have recomended it too will agree with me and they all go back as much as possible. Our good friend Ach of Ach and lou's just passed away last week he was one of the best ingredients they could offer.
- Pros: Best sauce, Ample toppings, great atmostphere
