So just heard he's finally retiring at 78 because of his health. I hope someone buys his business and continues the tradition. Pretty amazing just him and his wife ran that place by themselves for all those years.
Wow - this is one of the rare episodes where the host (Ted Brunson) isn't getting ripped in the comments section. The first 4 seasons of "Chicago's Best" with Ted and Brittney Payton as the hosts were by far the best.
I’m a Michiganian and went here once. It was after Burt passed, sadly, but it was still the same. I hope it’s still around. It was the best non New Haven pizza I ever had. I hope it’s still there.
Been here a few times in the 90's after a Cubbies Game!! Best Pizza l ever had and friendliest guy l ever met , so sad to hear about his passing a few years back!! One of a kind!!
Bad news while I never made in before it was too late, he retired and has been dead for now 4 years if you can believe it. But it must have been nice to have gotten to go in, knowing that you had a reservation, and order placed and you didn't have to wait 30 minutes or longer, before your pizza was on your table, you could get there 5 minutes, and your reservation time was when your pizza would be right on the table done and you can eat..
I don't understand how I could be from Skokie and had never heard of Burt's... However! I've always liked the nearby Gulluvers... And Burt is 'Gulliver'! Now I'm Pizza deprived in England. Must buy a pizza oven!
@@johnc3601 Now why didn't we know? I went to St. Paul's woods all the time and went to the Chinese place blah blah blah. I used to love that corner because I would picture the early people of Tessville or whatever it was called- the early Germans out that way... never saw Burts. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I assure you it's amazing. I try to get it every time I go to Chicago, and that's after trying some of the other places that are considered among the best.
R.I.P. Burt

Best pizza I've ever eaten.

The secret is hair, stray hairs mixed in or under the cheese.

Don't feel bad. I'm from Morton Grove (since 1962) and I just recently heard of Burts.

Sorry but shove your rules old man
1. This guy died 2 years ago. 2. The rules have changed under the new owner. 3. You go shove it. This place is super small.

that pizza looks crap
David McCretton Nor would I ever call a place more than 3 times to get food. I can guarantee that pizza isn't worth the hassle to eat it.
People in Chicago say it's the best but I've never been there
I assure you it's amazing. I try to get it every time I go to Chicago, and that's after trying some of the other places that are considered among the best.
