Robert’s Pizza Also Ranked Among America’s Best

It tied for the 8th-best pizza place in the entire United States and was the only spot in Illinois to make the global Top 100.

London Pizza Joint Takes the World’s Top Spot

Napoli on the Road took the top spot, and as a big pizza eater who just spent the last week in London, I can’t begin to tell you how upset I am that I missed the chance to eat there.

I guess I can drown my sorrows in a slice of pie at Robert’s Pizza and Dough Company. It wasn’t #1, but it at least made the list.
