Sally O'Neal's Pizza Hotline   

Sally O'Neal's has been winning best pizza honors for years. An architecturally pleasing one-story structure in the middle of Hyde Park restaurant row, the restaurant has its own big parking lot (a premium in Hyde Park) and plenty of dining space. Between its restaurant dining and its delivery service, Sally's has garnered a huge following. Another good reason is the dough, made from fresh baker's yeast and high-gluten flour. The restaurant gathers its fresh vegetables from a farmers' market and make their sauces, marinades and dressings from scratch. Take, for example, chicken marinated in lemon and garlic and then poached before it's used on the pizza. Basically, everything tastes delicious because of the extra effort they put into preparation. The menu includes specialty pizzas as well as create-your-own-pizza topping choices. Try the chicken and artichoke pizza, the barbecue chicken pizza or the sauceless pizza. Pastas and salads round out the menu. - Shari Missman Miller
