Elmhurst Famous Pizza 7.8
Elmhurst
A Broadway-area pizza stop known for small personal pies and a straightforward, snackable style that rewards eating hot and fresh. Treat it like a quick-hit pie run—one pie, one side, and you’re done—rather than expecting a big sit-down pizzeria experience.
Must-Try Dishes: Cheese personal pie, Pepperoni personal pie, Garlic knots
