Pizza
Pequod's
Deep dish with a caramelized crust. Worth the wait if Saturday still has air.

Art of Pizza
Stuffed, not a personality. If the table is hungry after the river.

Bartoli's
Thin-crust tavern pie. Neighborhood, not a pilgrimage.

Stuffed, tourist-proof. Only if someone in the party insists.

The other beef. Same rules — sandwich, then walk.

Another dog if Clark Street is a hike.

Margie's Candies
Hot fudge, booths, no agenda. If the evening fails beautifully.

Note
Chicken Vesuvio
The dish, not a reservation. Order it if a room has it. Do not hunt a Vesuvio restaurant.

Hot-dog serendipity
If a stand appears, get the dog. Do not itinerary it.

Friend pitches
Do the architecture cruise if the weather holds. It's the one tourist thing that isn't a tourist thing.
