Welcome to the Chicago Top 5 Project.
Chicago Top 5 started as a family dinner debate over the best pizza in Chicago. My daughter, her husband, and I couldn’t agree on that or really any other food choices around town. So on October 27, 2025, we decided to settle it once and for all by finding the Top 5 in every category across Chicago. From pizza and coffee to parks and date nights, we’re exploring the city one list at a time — and inviting locals to join the conversation. Its going to take a few years but we are committed.
