Lefty's Chicago Pizzeria

Developed through obsessive California test kitchens rather than copying any single legendary pizzeria, Lefty's captures the casual neighborhood spirit of classic Midwestern mom-and-pop shops. Alongside Chicago street food, house rules run firm: pineapple toppings are strictly off-limits, even if the kitchen will bake a pineapple-shaped crust on request. The offerings extend beyond customized pies loaded with pepperoni, olive, and mushroom to staples like boneless buffalo tenders served with sauce on the side.
