Pizza is the name of the game here, but they also sell lasagna, spaghetti, and chicken wings.

Their Bahn Mi Pizza is one of their fan favorites. Try that one when you visit.

5. Rance’s Chicago Pizza

If you’ve never had Chicago style pizza, Rance’s should be the first place you go to when wanting to get the experience.

Chicago style pizza is a very deep style of pizza, almost like a lasagna. Trying to finish one yourself can be daunting, and good luck not getting a food coma after polishing one-off. Usually, one or two slices should do.

Rance’s prides itself on making the best deep dish pizzas using only the finest ingredients. Their sauce, dough, and salad dressings are all made from scratch. Talk about commitment.

Their menu is complete with pizzas, salads, wings (try their Bourbon Bacon flavor), and different sides and starters.

Make sure to come hungry! Also, you can order online, here.
