Ian's Pizza

One night, about a week after our Taste of Chicago experience, we decided to go out for pizza - we are in Chicago after all. We looked on yelp.com for a good recommendation and landed on Ian's Pizza close to Wrigley Field. This did require another El ride, but it was to a much different part of town in Wrigleyville. There wasn't a game that night, so we figured the streets wouldn't be too crowded, plus we were heading out nice and early to give us plenty of time (we had learned a few things the week prior).
From what we could read online their "Mac & Cheese" pizza came highly recommended - what?! Well, we knew we'd be able to find something for Ilana to eat. :) What we found was that all of Ian's pizzas are some sort of meal in and of themselves, put onto a pizza.
Paul had veggie and meat somethings, we (of course) got the mac & cheese pizza for Ilana and I had the chicken alfredo...pizza. They were AMAZING!!

But...most amazing of all was our dessert pizza. As we were ordering, we asked the guy serving us for his recommendations. He mentioned their s'mores dessert pizza. He said that if we wanted a slice we'd have to let him know then because they'd have to make it up. Of course we obliged.
 IT WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! I told Paul I might just have to send him all the way down to Wrigleyville to get it as a special treat once in a while. (My mouth still waters when I see this picture.)

We walked around for a short bit, got conveniently stuck under some scaffolding while a short evening storm rolled through, saw Wrigley Field, then headed back home. It was so enjoyable and gave us confidence that we could schlep all of us onto the El downtown every once in a while ... just never to Taste of Chicago again.

If you want to try some excellent deep dish, I have to recommend Giordano's ... so incredibly good.

Yummo to that s'mores pizza! I just may have to try to come up with my own version of that!
