While in the Chicago area we wanted to go to a pizza place and get a Chicago-style deep dish pizza.  We found a neighborhood place in an area called Falco’s Pizza in the Brighton Park neighborhood of Chicago.  Falco’s had a Cubs game going on the TVs and several guys were there to watch the game.  It has a pool table and some young people were there playing pool.  It’s small and not at all touristy which is what we wanted.

We ordered a medium (14″) pan pizza with mushrooms, onions and olives on it.  We waited for about 40 minutes for the pizza and we were starting to wonder what was going on.  Then it arrived!

Oh man, it was HUGE!  It was about 2″ deep and the edges even deeper.  It was LOADED with cheese, I said it must have 10 pounds of cheese on it and I don’t think that’s too far off the base.  It was REALLY delicious but we could only eat one slice each.  The rest had to go in a box and that box was really heavy!

We’ll be eating pizza for several days I think!  Here’s a picture of it:
