I was visiting SB and I was excited to see a Barnabys in town-the pizza of my youth in the northern suburbs of Chicago!
Having recently visited the Nilesh Barnabys, I thought I'd compare this location to see if it was the same.
It looked exactly the same. Dark, funky. Â Same bar and ordering system.
The pizza, however, was not the same. Â The sauce is great- spot on. Â A bit sweet and a bit spicy. Â The crust, though...despite its massive cornmeal base, was not the thin, crispy crust of a real Barnabys. Â It had its own charm, to be sure, but no where close to the thin, non-yeasty crust a Barnabys pizza should have.
Overall a superior pizza for most places, but not quite to Barnabys standards.
I'll try Rocco's next time.
