BILL'S PIZZA is where it is at haha. Havent been in there in some time do they let you throw peanuts on the ground still? All the other places you listed are good pizza but it is chain and I don't really like all the touristy crap in the city. Some quiet local joints in the area make some knockout pizza. If your ever in the northwest suburbs area make sure to get pizza from MUG's in Palatine.
My cousins were from Chicago, and always talked about Palermo's. I want to try theirs sometime.
Small world. I'm from the QC and I still miss Franks pizza in Silvis and LaRomas Taco Pizza in Geneseo.

It's been a year since I was there. I want to say they don't do the peanuts on the floor anymore, but I'm doubting my memory on that. I've done it so much, I just don't remember if they stopped it, or if it was some other place that I'm thinking of. Still the same décor though and I think the juke box was still in the corner.

I forgot to add Gullivers to the list. They are on Howard street near California and in Glenview now as well.

Cannot beat the Lou's butter crust. Plenty of locations in the suburbs, totally worth finding. Long time Chicago resident here and although they are all good, Lou's really is the best.

Is Ron and Pats in Antioch the same as Pats in Grayslake? I've forgotten about that place, but it was great also.

No....2 different owners. Actually Pats in Grayslake closed up shop about a year back. I think he retired, but yea, his building there in Grayslake is for sale. I forgot how good his pies were.

Bill's Pub in Mundelein, IL
Large double-decker w/ your fav toppings and extra cheese. Can't go wrong.

The Mug's I go to is in Des Plaines on Wolf and Central. Great food there and open till 3AM every night. There is also one on Harlem and Touhy in Chicago, but I didn't think it was as good as the other.

RJ's in Lindenhurst is pretty good (whenever I go to my brother's house we have it) and Pizza-4-You down in the SW suburbs is awesome. We literally ate it 2x a week when my wife and I were first married. +1 to Aurelio's & Bill's & Pat's
