One of the Top 33 Pizzas in the World Is in Geneva

Lou Malnati's makes a national list of best pizza in the ... you know, nation.

Thrillist.com has named the 33 best pizzas in all of America, and one of them happens to be in the friendly confines of Geneva, IL. 

Lou Malnati's Pizzaria is in the rare air of the top 33, but the article doesn't rank the pizzas from 1 to 33—just names them. Why Thrillist wanted to pick 33 rather than 10 or 50 or 700, I couldn't tell you.

Nor could I tell you how they decided on the top 33, except by consensus.

Thrillist is a "quick, free, daily email" that offers "must-have recommendation, from the best of what's new, to deeply under-the-radar goodness. We're talking absinthe-only cocktail spots, eateries that dish up BBQ Rattlesnake Salad and Reindeer in Bourbon Sauce," among other things

And they only cover what they like.

"We don't write reviews, just recommendations, and because we painstakingly wade through the crap to unearth greatness, you get exclusively the best of your city's food, drinks, gear, services, entertainment, travel options, and events."

Oh, and they have 21 editions covering big cities across the country.

The other Chicago-area pizza that made the list is Coalfire, which has just one location, in Chicago.

Lou Malnati's has 35 locations in the Chicago area, if I counted right—which is always a gamble. The Geneva Lou Malnati's is at 1048 Commons Drive and has been in Geneva since 2005.
