Zelda’s is legendary for the greatness of its pizza and the ’tude of its waitresses, who look like they’d rather crack you over the head with a tray than crack a smile. But that’s part of Zelda’s charm, along with the dark, dingy atmosphere. It’s all about the food, man: old-school, Chicago-style deep-dish pizza that routinely wins “best pizza” in local polls. (The heavenly crust is made with cornmeal for crunch.) It takes at least 30 minutes to prepare, but you can order ahead by phone, then come in and sit down.
