Now that I think about it, there's also a little hole-in-the-wall dive bar that also makes very good Italian food that's not far from my house. I rarely think about the place even though I pass it frequently - I always associate it with being a dive bar rather than with the food they cook up. The guy is from Chicago and makes very good pizza and Italian beef subs. He'll put Italian beef, tomato slices, fresh basil & oregano, and all sorts of other wonderful things on the pizza.
I think I'll stop by there in the next couple of days for some takeout and a drink or 2. They only cook Thurs thru Sat if I remember correctly.
