Streeterville spot Robert’s Pizza & Dough Co. was just named one of the best pizza places in the world—again.
The ranking of The Best 100 Pizzerias in the World was announced earlier this week in Naples, Italy, and Robert’s came in at number 26. It is the only Chicago restaurant to make the list, and marks the fifth time it has been named among the top 50 in the U.S. and the second time it has been ranked among the top 100 in the world.

The ranking is based on a year-long investigation by 50 Top Pizza, considering factors like quality of the dough, the raw materials used for toppings, restaurant service, customer care and beverage lists.
The news is exciting, but certainly not surprising, considering the immaculate pies Robert’s serves. Husband-and-wife team Robert and Dana Garvey’s restaurant along the idyllic Ogden Slip dishes out brick oven-baked thin crust, including the mouthwatering Cali Italia pizza, made with asiago, fresh mozzerella, gorgonzola cheese, fig jam, prosciutto di parma, balsamic glaze, shaved parmigiano reggiano and evo (real ones swap the gorgonzola for goat cheese for added sweetness), and The Funghi, made with a truffle cream base, wild mushrooms, garlic and driftless ricotta cheese.
We all know Chicago produces the best pizza, but a little good PR never hurts.
