A small town of about 1,300, Como doesn’t seem to have much in common with Chicago. However, things aren’t always as they seem.

Como just so happens to be home to Windy City Grille, an aptly-named eatery that serves authentic Chicago-style pizza among other tasty dishes.

The restaurant was opened nearly 20 years ago by Chicago transplant, Anne May. Anne’s roots – and the fact that she makes the pizza dough herself each night – result in some of the most authentic pies around.

There are two options when it comes to the Chicago-style pie. You can go with the thin crust, or you can select the pie that put Chicago on the map, deep dish.

The Chicago theme doesn’t end with the pizza, though.

As you browse the menu, you’ll notice several items named after locations in Chicago, such as the Millennium Park and Wrigley Field Salads.

Like a national excursion for your taste buds, the menu also includes local favorites, such as fried catfish, Cajun shrimp, and, on select nights, boiled crawfish.

Perfect for even the pickiest of eaters, hamburgers, sandwiches, and pastas are also part of the fare.
