| About: | For over 30 years, this has been a classic Loop watering hole for business people, students and the occasional tourist. Stop at the bar for a drink and salty popcorn, or stay for a satisfying lunch, which includes the usual selection of burgers, salads and steaks. Or skip all those, order a pitcher of beer, and split a pizza between you and your buddies. According to Exchequer, Roger Ebert, film critic extraordinaire, ranks Exchequer's pizza as his favorite in Chicago, and he should know. |

I have been going to the Exchequer since the early 80's and have always loved the ribs and cole slaw: The only ribs that were better "back in the day" was a place that used to sit on the corner of Wabash and Adams called The Wabash Inn, now you really have to be "old School" to remember that place. Any way I am getting nostalgic and I digress. Other than the Ribs, I love the Minestrone in the Winter and my favorite waitres Beverly who calls me "Mr White" which always is impressive.
I have eaten a lot of pizza in my life, and I am absolutely not exaggerating when I say that this place has THE BEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER TASTED IN MY LIFE! Nothing else comes close. The decor is funky, the service is decent and the pizza is to die for.
The best restaurant in Chicago. The best onion soup, ribs, and of course, best Chicago's style pizza. A must stop if you visit Chicago.
