When you see Marvin Zindler's blue ribbons--that's right, plural--on the wall, you know you can't go wrong. Their pizza is hard to get: they're only open five weekdays for lunch and two evenings for dinner, and their vacation each summer is way too long. This formula, that of limiting the food's availability, works: they thrive. Because there is nothing comparable, we customers put up with the inconvenience of not being able to get Doyle's pizza anytime we want. They removed the ""pizza'salwayseatenwiththefingers"" sign long ago, and it's no longer Doyle's Delicatessen, but Doyle's of Oak Forest Restaurant. Except that black olives now adorn the pizzas instead of the original green ones (they explain this as an attempt to lower the sodium levels) the pizza's the same as when I first sampled it in 1954, and just as good.
Pros: Good prices, Delicious food
Cons: Hardly ever open
