Luigi's (Montoni's) in Akron, OH

Can't say it's my favorite yet, since I haven't tried it (but I intend to), but Luigi's in Akron is famous for a different reason. It's the inspiration for Montoni's Pizza of the Funky Winkerbean comic strip. Apparently some of the characters in the strip are recognizable as Luigi's folks too.

Maybe this one belongs in the "Offbeat Tourist Attractions" POI file instead!

Luigi’s Restaurant

Pizza places on the SW side of Chicago

Here's a couple of pizza places I hightly recommend if you're visiting the southwest side of Chicago:

Palermo's 95th Pizza & Restaurant
4849 W. 95th St
Oak Lawn, IL 60453
(708) 425-6262
-87.7427108,41.7200377

Palermo's 63rd Pizza & Restaurant
3751 W. 63rd St
Chicago, IL 60629
(773) 585-5002
-87.717454,41.7786564

The sauce on their pizzas is out of this world, and their italian food can't be beat.

*NOTE: The longtitutde and lattitude were backwards, and has been fixed on this post. Hey, I can't help it; I had no clue how to use this. LOL

Charlies Pizza House, Yankton, SD

If for any strange reason you find yourself in Yankton South Dakota, try Charlies. It's a fantastic pizza joint that really makes you wonder why you'd ever go to a chain. I highly recommend the Saint and Sinner.

-97.407339, 42.876261
804 Summit Street, Yankton SD 570978

Ted's Pizza

Excellent thin crust pizza.

My favorite Pizza

I grew up across the street from the original owner of this pizza parlor also rolled newspapers for him when we were kids. Its in different hands now but still great pizza.
T-Jos Pizza & Sandwich Shop
(608) 781-0775

New Place in Town

The Pultneyville Deli Company
4120 Lake Road
Pultneyville, NY
(315) 589-0061

This place opened up last summer, good pizza, some unconventional toppings for the adventurous. Good sandwiches and deserts to. Free WiFi and a private sitting area upstairs if you just want to relax while you eat and catch up on eMail.

Its a great little (and quint) little portside town on Lake Ontario. Great for a lazy afternoon in the summer. The sidewalks are rolled up in the winter though.

Papa Dels Pizza

Two locations

Papa Dells Pizza

206 E Green Street, Champaign, Il phone (217) 358-7700

2510 Village Green Place, Champaign, Il phone (217) 359-5500
40 04'52.97"N, 88 17'46.84W

This pizza is unbelievable, has sausage meatballs inside, the sausage is like nothing I have ever tasted, this deep dish pizza is the best and I do not normally like deep dish. You can eat in or pick up a frozen one and take it home and cook it in the oven. If you are in the area I highly recommend one.

Upper Crust

Sidewalks??????

Not many sidewalks to roll up. You're right, it goes from a sleepy little town to near hibernation in the winter but the Deli is open year around and since they built the new building has become nice place to hang out for awhile on a cold day.

Olivia's Pizza

Just ate here:

I'd suggest sending another message, but try emailing them personally (if you have their address). I've sent JM a few emails to take over a POI or two (just the other day actually) and he replied back within the day. Maybe the contact email no longer works?

"If you’re a sucker for nostalgia and a connoisseur of Sicilian pizza, you’ll love this Bensonhurst landmark where locals and pizza pilgrims line up for the signature square pie (a light, crunchy crust, adorned with a bare minimum of mozzarella cheese beneath a layer of tangy tomato sauce) and a paper cup of the frozen house specialty" — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld, NY Restaurants.
