Professor Pizza

Anthony Scardino, affectionately known as Professor Pizza, is a champion pizza maker who’s been quietly turning out some of the best pies in the city. You can order them in several varieties—including New York, Detroit and Sicilian-style—but our favorite is the grandma-style. Pep fans should definitely try the Deluxe Pepperoni, which comes loaded with cups plus whipped ricotta and hot honey. After previously operating out of a ghost kitchen, Professor Pizza has found a new home on a West Loop rooftop and will have outdoor seating for the first time when weather permits.
