"But what originally caught the celebrity chef's attention was the fact that Vito and Nick's doesn't serve deep dish - its signature product is actually Chicago tavern-style pizza, the Windy City's other famous pie type. During his visit, Fieri tried a cracker-thin cheese pizza topped with eggs and fried pepperoni. He loved the crunchy, thin crust but admitted that eggs weren't his favorite."
"Vito and Nick's has been slinging out pizzas for nearly 80 years, and the family behind the business has owned taverns in the city for even longer. It all started back in 1920 when Vito and Mary Barraco opened their first location. By 1945, Vito's son Nick joined the family business and, with the help of his mother, created the secret recipe that eventually earned Vito and Nick's a spot in the Pizza Hall of Fame."
Vito and Nick's Pizzeria specializes in Chicago tavern-style pizza with a cracker-thin, crunchy crust rather than deep dish. Guy Fieri featured the restaurant on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and praised its thin-crust pizzas, noting that eggs on their pizza are uniquely suited to the style. The business has operated for nearly 80 years, originating from Vito and Mary Barraco in 1920, with Nick joining in 1945 and helping create a secret recipe. The pizzeria earned recognition in the Pizza Hall of Fame. Regular customers value the food quality and nostalgic, character-filled dining experience.
