Lefty's is a good ambassador for Chicago chow. They use ingredients and combinations that no self respecting Californian would use. The prominent use of giardiniera is a prime example. Giardiniera,...

Great Chicago-style pizza! Be sure to call about 2 hours ahead and order the stuffed pizza, by far worth the wait and the cost. Very filling....I tend to eat a lot and can only manage 2 pieces - 1 if it is the...

I regularly eat at Chicago Style Pizza Places (since I currently live here) and I have to say Lefty's is better than 95% of the places in Chicago. That's all you should need to know. Great fries too!
