I haven't seen it posted yet, so here is my suggestion for a brand new Chicago food place that I am grateful for — Forno Mauri. Serving authentic Italian pizza (no deep dish or tavern style). One of the staff said that several of the team came here from Italy. I’ve have the picante twice now and although it is on the greasy side, it is quite flavorful. A very welcomed addition to the south loop area.

Authentic Italian pizza is not greasy, and the amount of grease in pizza can vary depending on the style:
Neapolitan:
This classic, oil-free pizza is made with only flour, water, yeast, and salt. The result is a light and tender pizza with a thin, crispy, crispy crust.
Roman:
This pizza is typically crispy and brittle, and uses more oil and flour in the dough.
American:
American-style pizza often includes vegetable oil or shortening in the dough, which can make it greasier than Italian pizza.
I work near there. Thanks for the suggestion!
