Well I completed my Pizza for every meal idea. I had breakfast pizza at Campisi's in the Love Field Airport this morning. Went on to Lou Malnati's deep dish pizza for lunch. And just finished off the day with a stuffed pizza from Connie's Pizza.
I had read some really good things about Connie's online. I wanted to try it. On my way from my hotel to Lou Malnati's during lunch, I walked right by Connie's. So it was close and I knew where it was so it just made sense. Especially since it was starting to rain. I didn't want to venture out too far.
I ended up ordering online and going to pick up the pizza. I had stopped at Walgreens to get some water. I could already tell I hadn't been drinking enough water (I always seem to do this when I go out of town). Picked up the pizza and headed straight back to the hotel. I really wanted to eat this pizza while it was hot.
When I back to the hotel, I opened the box and this is what I had...
Of course, not exactly what I was expecting. I was thinking more along the lines of Giordano's. Thick crust on the bottom, cheese and toppings, then a thin layer of crust on top. Then red sauce on top.
I was actually kinda disappointed when I saw it. But I figured, I haven't met too many pizzas I didn't like, so I figured I would give it a try with a open mind. So I cut into it.
So it turns out there was red sauce inside (for which I'm grateful). Man this pizza was so cheesy. The sausage was nicely flavored. The one thing I'm figuring out really quick is that these Chicago guys really know how to make crust. The dough was perfect. I actually wasn't that hungry when I brought in the pizza, but there wasn't a crumb left when I was done.
So I survived the "Day of Pizza". Although, I just realized, I never had a dessert pizza. I know Lou Malnati's had a cookie pizza. Well maybe not, I don't want to get out again. I'm tired. Maybe later this week.
