Marie's Pizza & Liquors
Marie's Pizza & Liquors
Marie's Pizza & Liquors has been serving it up at this same Mayfair street corner since 1940. Now in its third generation of ownership, this "old school" Chicago institution has more than a fair share of groupies who claim that this is the best destination for thin crust pizza in the entire city. The decor hasn't changed (ever), the waitstaff have been fixtures for decades, and live music can still be heard several days a week. During Christmas season, Marie's becomes more famous for its decorations than its food. The lights, the elves, the train tracks, and the festivity all create a magical atmosphere. Oddly enough, the restaurant is joined at the hip with a liquor store that sells thousands of different bottles of wine, among other spirits.
