Best Tasting Pizza

1st TIE: Little Frank’s Pepperoni

&

John Gino’s Stuffed Supreme

3rd Nonna’s Good Life Pizza

Little Frank’s, located on 79th Street in Burbank, successfully defended its reputation as a local favorite with its classic pepperoni pizza. And for anyone looking to make a night of it, Little Frank’s also has an adjoining bar where a crisp, cold beer pairs pretty perfectly with one of their hot pizzas.

But John Gino’s of Justice came ready to compete. Their deep-dish beef entry (technically the Stuffed Supreme when ordering), earned enough votes to finish in a dead heat with the reigning champion.

Do I smell a PizzaPalooza run-off?

Nonna’s Good Life Pizza of Oak Lawn rounded out the top three, but as the evening unfolded, it became clear that Nonna’s was going to be a force in just about every category.

A special mention also goes to Grassano’s, located near the Burbank/Oak Lawn border. Under new ownership, Grassano’s picked up an impressive number of Best Tasting votes spread between its sausage and cheese pizzas and is definitely one to watch.

The Cheese Challenge



This year we added a little extra competition with our first PizzaPalooza Cheese Challenge: a head-to-head blind taste test inspired by the classic “Pepsi Challenge.”

Little Frank’s vs. Vito & Nick’s.

Little Frank’s was the clear winner, with tasters responding to its cheesy, crowd-pleasing slice.

Vito & Nick’s offered something very different, though, with its signature cracker-thin crust and delicate layer of cheese. It was a reminder that sometimes a pizza is best experienced exactly where it was meant to be served: fresh from the oven, at the restaurant! Check them out and give them a try.
