Ord Pizzeria Serves Excellent Pies Nowhere Near The Airport

Opening a pizza place a third of a mile from Spacca Napoli is a bold move—but then, ORD Pizzeria isn’t making Neapolitan-style pies. It’s difficult to say exactly what style of pizza they are making, though. Despite the name, it’s definitely not Chicago-style pizza, either deep dish or thin crust. Nor is it Greek or California style. It’s probably closest to New York style, but the crust isn’t as thin. Whatever you call it, though, it’s damn good pizza. The crust is crispy on the outside and slightly chewy, and the inventive flavor combinations on the specialty pies are outstanding (more on that later).
