This is news that will freeze the hearts of pizza lovers all over Chicago. Crain's reports that Great Lake Pizza, one of Chicago's most acclaimed pie joints and GQ's pick for best pizza in America, may be closing at the end of January.
The story is a tiny bit complicated. Crain's got in touch with the owner of the building that houses Great Lake, and the owner informed them that Great Lake had not renewed their lease. So, at least in its current iteration, Great Lake is going away for good at the end of January.
However, no one from Great Lake responded to Crain's requests for comment, and nothing is official from their end. So, pizza freaks, there is at least some hope. It is possible that the restaurant will simply move. We'll keep you updated as we learn more.
