Where to get a slice
Bill Daley/Chicago Tribune
Don’t be turned off by the Plain Jane name for this Wicker Park pizzeria’s basic cheese pizza ($3), left, one of three varieties offered by the slice. (Try also the excellent sausage for $3.50.) Love the crisp, textured crust with its little touch of char from the oven. The sauce, neither too sweet nor tart, tasted like tomato — sounds easy but often difficult to achieve — and the cheese, billed as a mix of fresh mozzarella, pecorino Romano and grana padano, added a nice touch.
