Lefty's is a casual pizza joint fashioned after the mom-and-pop pizzerias found all over Chicago. The average 35-40 minutes wait is a small price to pay for the quality pie you're about to taste. The Meaty Pie (sausage, pepperoni, meatball, Italian beef) is a meat lover's fantasy and the South Sider (beef, green pepper, onion and hot giardiniera, a spicy blend of pickled veggies) will outcompete your favorite spicy dish. There are also several choices for vegetarians, including the Spinach Supreme and the Farmers Market. My personal favorite: The Great Sausage Pie. Lefty's also offers pizza by the slice, as well as salads, sandwiches and a number of tasty appetizers.
