There are many reasons to love Bill Murray if you are an Illinoisan.

He's been in some iconic flicks, loves the Cubs and Bears, and is a true blue Chicago guy at heart. Murray even has a pizza place he loves above all the others that just so happens to be located in the Land of Lincoln.

Just last week, while promoting his new flick The Friend, he started talking about pizza with the interviewer and dropped this nugget:

You know, there's a good pizza place. Have you ever heard of Robert's Pizza? What an amazing pizza that is. I never thought I'd go back to thin-crust pizza. That might be the most amazing pizza I've ever had.

I had never heard of the place before, but I'll be honest: I was legit interested after Murray started hyping up Robert's Pizza.

Robert's Pizza has a great score of 4.3 out of 5 by Yelp reviewers, who say:

  • "The best pizza in Chicago."
  • "Probably one of the best doughs (or breads) I've had in a long while."
  • "I can't wait to make your restaurant a regular spot for me."
  • "Takes zero effort to bite into the dough."
  • "An amazing place that is top of our 'to do' list when in the city"

Have you tried Robert's Pizza? It sounds amazing; I will have to plot out a pizza pilgrimage soon.

If you get there before me, Robert's Pizza is at 465 North McClurg Court in Chicago.
