    Best Pizza in Chicago Ranked by Concierge Preferred











    Concierge give their picks for the best Chicago-style pizza


    Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 28, 2011

    Chicago-style pizza has a reputation that is hard to beat anywhere else in the U.S., which is why finding the best pizza in Chicago can be a difficult task.

    Thankfully, Concierge Preferred polled Chicago’s pizza-loving concierge to see what Chicago-style pizza places they like best. The result? A comprehensive list of only the best, most authentic pizzerias the city has to offer. Concierge want you to have the final word in deciding once-and-for-all which Chicago pizza reigns supreme.

    See what concierge think about the following places to get a slice of Chicago’s best, and then go online to their Facebook Page to cast your vote on the best Chicago pizza. Voting on your favorite chicago pizzeria can pay off, too, as it automatically enters you in a drawing for a chance to win a free iPad 2!

    Chicago Deep Dish Pizza

    Traditionally what people think of when they hear “Chicago-style pizza,” Chicago’s deep dish is anything but traditional. Far from the thin, lightly-sauced style of its Italian ancestor, Chicago deep dish is characterized by heavy, often buttery crust that climbs up the side of the pan to hold in layers of chunky sauce and lots of thick, melted cheese. A slice of deep-dish pizza at any of the following pizzerias will likely be upward of an inch thick and will leave any Chicago-style pizza lover reaching for more:

    Gino’s East — One of the most well-known of all Chicago-style pizza places. Gino’s top-quality ingredients sit on a thick cornmeal crust baked in cast iron pans. Visitors to Gino’s can add to the décor by adding their own contribution to the walls covered in past patrons’ signatures.

    Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria — Home of the famous butter-flavored crust and signature pizza “The Lou,” featuring fresh spinach, mushrooms, and sliced tomatoes, Lou Malnati’s puts its own unique spin on a Chicago classic.

    Giordano’s — One of the first Chicago pizza places to serve stuffed pizza, which features an extra layer of crust just under the sauce that conceals a heavy pocket of cheese and toppings.

    Pizano’s Pizza & Pasta — Founded by the co-creator of deep-dish pizza’s son, Pizano’s received accolades as one of USA Today’s “10 Best Pizzas in the Nation” and has been named one of Oprah’s “favorite things”.

    Pizzeria Uno/Pizzeria Due — Home of the original Chicago-style deep dish, Pizzeria Uno changed the way America eats pizza.

    Chicago Thin Crust Pizza

    Not all Chicago pizza has to be deep dish. Chicago also has its own unique version of thin-crust pizza, set apart by its light and crispy crust, finely-pureed sauce with lots of herbs and seasonings, and a top layer of melted mozzarella. For concierge, there isn’t a better thin-crust pizza to be found in the city than the following:

    Pizano’s Pizza & Pasta — Pizano’s can also do thin-crust versions of your favorite deep-dish pizzas. Concierge can’t get enough of Chad’s Special Pizza, which is covered in BBQ chicken, BBQ sauce, and red onions.

    Quartino Ristorante, Pizzeria, Wine Bar — Featuring thin-crust pizzas cooked to perfection in stone ovens, Quartino specializes in less-common toppings like veal meatballs, red chilies, grilled zucchini and wild arugula for a truly unique Chicago pizza.

    La Madia — La Madia offers wood-fired pizzas with a huge selection of ingredients, as well as exclusive carry-out specials for those who want to enjoy their Chicago-style thin crust at home.

    Giordano’s — Thin crust or deep dish, you can’t go wrong with Giordano’s.

    Aurelio’s Pizza — Serving over 23 different varieties of pizza since 1959, Aurelio’s sauce is slightly sweeter than some of the other pizzerias on this list, which is one of the things concierge and other loyal customers love about it.

    Cast Your Vote For the Best Pizza in Chicago by Finding Concierge Preferred on Facebook

    Try out the different pizzas on the concierges’ list and decide for yourself who has the best Chicago pizza. Then join the thousands of other Chicago-style pizza lovers out there voting for their favorites on Facebook. In a city like Chicago there are seemingly endless options for great deep dish and thin crust, but only one can be named the top choice for Chicago’s best pizza.

    Whether you’re looking for information on restaurants, shows, tours, Navy Pier, nightlife, or the best places to grab a Chicago slice, Concierge Preferred is your source for great things to do in Chicago. Visit them online for notifications on upcoming events or to find out what’s happening in the city.

    The Historic Chicago Greystone: A User’s Guide for Renovating and Maintaining Your Home (Greystone Guides)

    Pushing.net Announces Availability of ‘Chicago’ Domain Name Portfolio

    Pushing.net Announces Availability of ‘Chicago’ Domain Name Portfolio











    Chicago, IL (PRWEB) September 16, 2008

    Pushing.net, one of the Internet’s largest sites for leasing or purchasing websites and domain names, announces the release of a new portfolio of domain names that include the term ‘Chicago.’

    The most up-to-date portfolio list, which can be viewed by searching for the term Chicago, contains more than 275 of these specific domain names that either begin with or contain the term ‘Chicago.’

    “Pushing’s ‘Chicago’ portfolio is fairly expansive and all of these domains will be of great interest to many groups,” said Pushing.net’s founder, David Wieland. “We’re very excited to make these domains available for lease to the public for the very first time.”

    Wieland continues, “Domain leasing is a relatively new phenomenon, but makes an enormous amount of sense for most small to medium business owners and entrepreneurs.    Most of these domains will sell in the several thousand dollar range, and for most businesses, that investment level is too large. Like real estate, domains can be leased through Pushing.net for a much lower monthly rate, putting less stress on cash-flow, yet still reaping all the benefits of the domain.” Such benefits, Wieland says, are important to a company’s success.

    “The use of domain names in both Internet-based and traditional brick and mortar businesses has exploded over the last few years. Having control over the best domain name for your particular business drastically improves your customers’ perception of your company’s legitimacy and new-age mentality. However, perhaps the most compelling reason to control your industry-specific domain name is to eliminate the risk that your competitors can do the same.

    “For example, the domain Chicago Pool Supplies .com is the best possible domain name for any one of the several businesses selling pool supplies in Chicago. Owning or leasing this domain and either building a new website to promote your business, or directing the domain to your current website, gives one lucky company a major advantage over all its competitors. One can easily imagine the effectiveness of a simple advertisement that just shows the domain name ‘ChicagoPoolSupplies.com’ and doesn’t need to explain what the ad is trying to promote, because it’s self-evident in the domain.”

    Wieland notes the following domains as other domains that should generate high interest: Chicago Hotel and Travel .com, Chicago East Village .com, chicago Computers .net, Chicago Mobile Phone .com, Chicago Financing .net, Chicago Investment .net, Chicago Networking .net, Chicago Offices .net, VC Chicago .com, Auctioneers Chicago .com, Billiards Chicago .com, MBA Chicago .com, Networks Chicago .com, Yachts Chicago .com, Golfing Chicago .net, Local Chicago .net, Chicago IL Lawyers .com, Chicago Loop Restaurants .com, Chicago Chauffeur .net, Chicago Tech Solutions .com, and Seafood Chicago .com (no spaces in the actual domains).

    The ‘Chicago’ portfolio is one of hundreds, comprising several thousand premium domain names on the site.

    Pushing.net’s unique domain name leasing concept is new in the domain name space and comes at an interesting time in the domain name investment industry, as the importance of a good domain name rises and traditional domain name ownership revenue sources decline.

    6 Simple Steps To Finding An Apartment In Chicago

    Posted by admin on July 13th, 2011 and filed under Chicago Rent | No Comments »

    In every city, apartments are available in a wide variety of different neighborhoods. Chicago is one such city, and is the largest one in Illinois. It is, undoubtedly the centre of culture, commerce and education in the United States. There are quite a lot of job opportunities available as well, which attract young professionals and families. All of this points towards the fact that people need a place to live in. Since Chicago is very densely populated, not everyone can afford an independent house. Therefore, many people prefer to live in an apartment to balance their expenditure for accommodation and day to day living.

    Thanks to the availability of the internet, Chicago apartments for rent have been made very easy to locate. However, the rent of the place has to be given special consideration. The cost of renting an apartment in chicago is a lot more than the general community would perceive, and to be able to afford a decent place to live in, some steps have to be followed in an organized manner. Things that you will need are internet connection, Chicago road/ travel map, the local newspaper, driver’s license, and money for a security deposit.
    Step 1 should most definitely be, determining how much you want to spend on rent. An easier way to figure this out can be by dividing your income into halves according to the things you spend on every month. If you feel the need to share your rent with someone, one should seriously consider getting a room mate.

    Step 2 is to write down the things that you think are important to you in regards to getting your apartment and the things that you think you can do without. It is possible; to not be able to find an apartment with all the things you wished for, therefore, you should always be prepared.

    Step 3 is to daily, go through the newspapers very thoroughly and look for Chicago apartments for rent in your area of interest, keeping under consideration the price range and the set criteria that you’ve in mind.

    Step 4 should be to look for Chicago apartments for rent on the internet. Searching on the internet makes it easier for you to quickly go through various amounts and sorts of apartments and to compare them with one another. You can then choose an apartment that fits your needs and desires.
    Step 5 would be to drive around the neighborhood that you like the apartment in. Analyze whether the place fulfills your demands for transportation, schools etc.
    Step 6, the last step would be to negotiate the price of the Chicago apartment for rent. You never know, you may be able to bring the landlord down to the price that you want.
    The steps given above are the solution for anyone and everyone who is looking for Chicago apartments for rent.

    “We have been busy in the first half of 2011! Andco will be our fourth apartment related implementation of scale in 2011.” said Mike Templeton Partner at MA Interactive Group Templeton also noted, “For us Andco is the perfect client, because they know what they want, at the same time they are also highly receptive to our expertise in the real estate space”.

    In 2011, MA Interactive Group has implemented or is in the process of implementing real estate Internet marketing programs and websites for several clients. These include Paragon Real Estate, SU Partnership, Tricap Chicago, Romanek Residential Properties, and Zeman Homes.
