Italian bread search - "ciopa"
Hello, I am very interested in your recipe for ciopa (cho-pah) We used to get it when I was growing up from Torino's in Bum town.
It was a ritual every Sunday Morning we would have hot chop-ah from the oven with surpresa, capicola, and fontinella cheese. Yum, I'm craving some now!
IF you could kindly e-mail the recipe to markcunico@yahoo.com it would be greatly appreciated!

Best Pizza in Chicago?
It's funny how different each Aurelio's chain is. The original store in Homewood is excellent, and the only other one I have found to be almost as good is the Frankfort location on Rt.30. What location did you go that you so disliked?
Best Pizza in Chicago?
Beggars is my favorite, they also have a location in New Lenox, Plainfied, and Mokena. The best super thin cracker crust pizza is Fox's the original location was in Beverly on Western, they also have locations in Orland Park and Mokena.
Never was crazy about Lou Malnati's I find the Sauce to taste like unseasoned tomatoes and a full patty of Italian sausage covering the whole pizza is too much.
