Online food bloggers rave about the no-frills dining at Padington’s in Salem, Oregon. This awardwinning, family owned pizzeria has two locations with a kitschy Western décor including stained glass lamps, antique chandeliers, and Western memorabilia and photos. The menu keeps with the theme: customers love to rustle up a Humdinger, which features salami, pepperoni, mushrooms, olives and lean beef.

Yes, we know Chicago is a Mecca of pizzerias, but not all are created equal. At upscale Viccino’s, with fi ve locations in the North Shore district, you’ll fi nd thin crust, a fl aky Roma, stuffed and the quintessential Chicago pan-style. Bread is baked in-house, including that for the Panini menu. These oversized grilled sandwiches could feed two at lunch. We especially like the gourmet Viccino’s Club, which is piled high with turkey breast, lettuce, onion, tomato, cheese and a “schmear” of mayonnaise. Wrap it up for delivery, takeout or dine in!

Great name aside, we’re impressed at the down-home freshness of this campus staple — from the oversized calzones to the crisp salads and wholesome toppings. Sure, the pizza here is traditional, but we especially like the TBG, which features tomato slices, basil and garlic. How’s that for returning to your roots? And there’s a twist on the classic garlic knots – they’re called Forget- Me-Knots!
