Why it is on the list

Salerno's On Tap is the Chicago home of Salerno's, the family pizza and Italian kitchen that has been at it since 1966, on the corner of Grand and Racine. The pies are tavern-style, traditional thick or thin crust, with house-made sausage under the cheese; around them sit homemade lasagna, ravioli, cavatelli and gnocchi, Chicken Vesuvio, ribs and a full bar with big screens and a seasonal patio. Open every day from 10am (11am Saturday, noon Sunday). Weekday happy hour runs 4 to 6pm. Book on OpenTable, or order carryout and delivery online. Salerno's is where the NetEats.com owner orders pizza!
