Bootleggers Pizza Review, Biloxi, MS
Bootlegger’s Pizza in Biloxi, Mississippi touts themselves as the home of authentic Chicago thin-crust pizza. As I live in Chicago part time, naturally I had to check it out.
The downstairs of the facility is for ‘family’ dine-in experiences from their full menu featuring pizza, pasta, wings, burgers and sammiches. Weekdays they feature lunch specials.
Upstairs they have a 21+ room, with likker, music, and games.
I went to place an order to carry out, take back to the hotel. I ordered a 14″ “Big Al’s Supreme” – which includes sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, onions, black olives.
It was done quickly, and after decades of pizza take-out orders, I still haven’t learned to open the box before leaving the joint. They either skipped some ingredients or I got someone else’s pie
Not going to hold it against them, because they do indeed do a good job of emulating a Chicago thin crust pie (which we refer to as “tavern style” – made with a cracker thin crust and cut in squares, not slices).
Bootleggers crust makes the grade, so does their cheese, and sausage for flavor and texture. Sauce is a little bit sweet for my taste, but that didn’t stop me from eating the entire pie. Personal preference? Larger chunks of sausage, please.
If you’re a regular reader, you know my “true test” of a great pizza is how it tastes the next morning after being left out on the counter over night. And Bootleggers passes the test, bigly. Yuge.
I’m in Biloxi a few times a year. I’ll be back for another pie for sure.
Bootleggers Pizza. Dine in. Carry out. Delivery.
