Rockford Spot Makes ‘Best Pizza Outside Chicago’ List
Forget Chicago, you can come to Rockford for one of the best pizzas in Illinois.
Some people say the best pizza on the planet is in Chicago, some say New York, but we're pretty sure Rockford can give you a run for your money.
A few other northern Illinois pizza joints made this list too!.
Only In Your State serves up a new pizza place list titled, 'The 12 Best Places in Illinois to Get Pizza That Aren't Chicago,' and one of your favorites took spot #7.
Did you guess what it is?
Lino's.
The website seems to describe the atmosphere pretty good, but I think maybe they could discuss the fact that Lino's is home to the most amazing pizza cheese ever.
Enjoy an Italian-themed interior and crave-worthy pizza at this popular spot. It opened in 1971 and has been locally owned and operated for three generations. Get a slice at 5611 E. State St. Rockford"
Also on the list, Alfano's in Rochelle and Pizza Villa in DeKalb.
