Pizza diaries: Coalfire

After my Chicago Architecture Tour of Women of Influence (a Graceland Cemetery Walking tour,) I searched out Coalfire, a craft pizza place at 3707 N Southport Ave, Chicago, IL 60613, not far from Wrigley Field. The verdict? Pretty darn good. The crust was thin, but had a pleasant chewiness. The sausage was sweet and minced. The white mounds you see were whipped ricotta. What else? Red peppers, garlic. And a nut brown ale, which went very well with it. The only pizza sizes were 14", so I brought half of it home. I'd go there again.

Yesterday, after giving a morning talk, I stopped by the  Happy Camper Pizzaria  for a small italian sausage, green pepper and black olive pizza. Pretty darn good. Good crust - flavor and a little chewiness, sauce that's more than tomato and sugar. A good 'un.
