After founder Burt Katz' passing in 2016, the new owner's effort to replicate Katz's pizza received the stamp of approval from the family. Burt's Place still turns out impressive deep-dish pies, not belly-busting thick but crispy and caramelized with a one-of-a-kind flavorful sauce.
Do yourself a favor and call ahead and pre-order your meal. It's small and can get crowded when the kitchen is slammed - ergo the reservation suggestion. The pan pizza is lighter on the sauce and cheese than at other places but perfectly balanced with fresh toppings and just made dough that doesn't skimp on the butter. Don't miss a pie with house-made sausage and giardiniera. There's a bigger selection of beer and wine these days, too.
