My friend Stuart - seen in the photograph above - and I had a late lunch yesterday afternoon at Grabowski's Pizzeria in Lakewood, Colorado. They started out at The Source Hotel and Market Hall in Denver's River North (RINO) neighborhood, and after closing that location, moved to a full-sized restaurant in Lakewood. Grabowski's serves Chicago style pizza, with names like the Classic Chicago and Old Comiskey - definitely our kind of place, since Stuart grew up on the North Side of Chicago, and I grew up in the Brainerd neighborhood on Chicago's South Side. We shared a Classic Chicago, a fennel-heavy Italian sausage thin crust pizza, covered in cheese and cut into squares, just like the ones back in Chicago. And it was really good, with plenty left over to take home. I can definitely recommend it to Chicagoland transplants who are searching for authentic Chicago style pizza. And since Grabowski's has a pizza called Old Comiskey, I have high hopes that they will be televising all the Chicago White Sox games next season. It will be great to have an entire roomful of people to commiserate with.
