22 Restaurants Near Woodfield Mall Shopping Center | OpenTable

I live about 5 miles from Woodfield Mall, and have been to most of the restaurants on the list from Open Table. The closest Lou Malnati's (best pizza in Chicago in my opinion) is located about 3 miles from Woodfield. There are Lou locations (49) all over the Chicago area, and now they have expanded to Phoenix, AZ.

Too bad Lou Malnati's doesn't open a location in TV...the line would be out the door.

Pizzeria Due, mentioned by Chi-Town, is also great, but I don't get into the city as often as I should, and Due does not have any locations in the NW suburbs that I know of .

Pizzeria Uno, also started in Chicago, does have some locations in Florida, in the Orlando area -- Winter Garden, Orlando, and Kissimmee, and on the Atlantic side of Florida, in Melbourne.

Just food for thought.
