Has to be a downtown full service shop, still making popcorn on site (Jackson, Randolph, Michigan Ave.) Get a mini-mix. It will change your life. Because it is a Chicago thing.

People will always tell you to go to Giordano's or Geno's East and have a deep dish. Although those are good, real Chicago, every day pizza is a good thin crust cut in squares. HomeRun Inn is authenticy at its finest.
