Pizza Club members open Best Olive Oil Shop on the Planet - Timeout ranks Chicago's Best Pizza

The PCOC leadership would like to congratulate longtime members John, Matt, Mike, Tom, and Bryan on their recent opening of Old Town Oil (http://www.oldtownoil.com/), what many are already saying is surely the finest specialty oil shop on the planet. The "Oilers," as some PCOC members are now calling the entrepreneurs, have promised to host a PCOC meeting at their shop on North Wells Avenue some time in the near future. Stay tuned.

Switching gears, for those people out there who have seen Timeout Chicago's spread on the Best Pizza in Chicago (in the current issue, link below) or saw the segment on the Timeout's spread on Chicago Tonight on November 7, PCOC would like to know what you think about Timeout's rankings and methodology. Please post any comments using the "add comment" button at the bottom of this story. As for any official response to Timeout's story, the PCOC administration issued the following brief statement:

"PCOC is gratified to learn that there are other pizza freaks out there and commend Timeout on its efforts in trying to find the Best Pizza in Chicago. Although, as PCOC has learned, and Timeout's reviewers surely have discovered, the beauty in trying to find Chicago's best pie is not in the verdict, but in the search. God willing, for PCOC, this search will never end."

Also, PCOC would like to thank the producers at Chicago Tonight for adding a link to our site in the web version of their story on Timeout's rankings. And we'd also like to say that we thought the Chicago Tonight segment last night was great. PCOC's spotters think they even caught Phil Ponce drooling during one quick camera cut. No shame Phil, everyone at home was drooling too.
