In this state by state list, once we hit Illinois it IS INFACT a pizza restaurant. "Vito and Nick's Pizzeria." This legendary pizza joint has been doing it since 1946 and doing it, thin. That's right, the #1 restaurant in Illinois is a pizza place that serves THIN CRUST pizza. Not something that resembles a casserole or a birthday cake, that is passed off at a pizza.
