Luigi Stefani Pizzeria

Located in the Southwest Airlines Terminal.... this (to me) is a hidden gem of an eatery here.  Luigi's is tucked in the back of the food court area right when you get through security.  It's behind the area with the tables.  I think Potbelly overtakes the foot traffic coming out of security.

I love this place for one reason only.... THE SALAD!!!  Namely, the "Delie Salad Trio".  I'm telling you: BEST. AIRPORT. FOOD. DEAL. EVER!!!  It's $8.25 and you start off with a bed of mixed greens.  You can add lettuce (no charge) if you like as well.  Then you get a choice of 3 things on top.  Not 1.  Not 2.  But 3!!!!

So what are these 3 things?  Take your pick.  Harvest grain mix (with cranberries), Chicken fruit salad (fresh grapes n' apples), Chicken pesto pasta, Mushroom/Artichoke salad, Caprese salad (grape tomatoes and mozzarella balls), or Herb grilled veggies (that include green/red bell peppers, red onions, zuccini, yellow squash).

Now doesn't that sound DELICIOUS????  I'm drooling right now.  And they load it up on the toppings as well.  Great bargain, especially for airport food.  Let's be honest, if you're in an airport you're either on vacation or traveling for business.  And both typically lead to eating lots of fast foods and greezy-ness.  This will cleanse your body & soul.  LOVE IT!!!

It hit the spot.  Beer that is!  All day $4 miller lite.  Yes, its 5pm somewhere in the world.  Might as well celebrate the high life with a layover at Midway especially since I was bumped off my preferred flight.

The cashier attendant was able to take my beer order; however, someone of age poured my glass full of miller lite.  Kudos to for this business obeying the law!

This is the second time I have been here during my visit to Chicago, both times were ok.  Once I ordered pizza- quote mediocre and not Chicago style which is disappointing.  During my most recent visit, I ordered some plain pasta which took way too long to make.  It was a simple bowl of pasta and sauce, and I watched the guy move in slow motion.  During my next trip through Midway, I will venture out to one of the other locations.
