The Friday Food Critic: Nancy's Pizza

When it comes to restaurants, Bolingbrook has it covered.

We have some great local places that many would consider community gems; we have some restaurants that aren't exactly mom-and-pop but are unique to the area; and we certainly—for better or for worse—have plenty of chains lining our main streets.

But what we don't have is a consistent food critic to tell us what's good and what's not. 

That's where you come in.

We're not egotistical enough to tell you what restaurants you do and don't like. It's your community. You eat the food. You tell us if it passes the mark.

That's why we run , where each week, we put a different restaurant on the chopping block. You tell us how you feel about it, what dishes are good, who has the best drink specials and so forth.

This week, we ask your opinion on a pizza joint that opened in 1998 and is one of Bolingbrook's premiere places to grab a slice. 

If you haven't guessed already, we're talking about .

From Neal Gray, a Bolingbrook Patch reader:

There's a family argument as to whether Nancy's is the best pizza in the area or not. The argument eventually gets down to one thing... the crust. Nancy's is no doubt the tallest deep dish pizza in the area, but I find that the crust is a bit tasteless. Kind of like it's a low sodium something or other. However, in various instances the crust was actually decent. When it's tasteless, it comes off completely tasteless. When it's right, then it's a decent pizza. Just when we think the pizza crust is decent, then the next order is just mediocre. My taste steers toward the more buttery and crunchy crusts whereas Nancy's is a bit more of a flaky crust. I guess it's really a matter of taste. It's a good pizza in the deep dish style, it's just not the overall hands-down favorite.
