Davidsanders,
Ordering pineapple and Canadian bacon on any kind of Pizza, no matter where it’s from, is a huge mistake. You have no one to blame for that blunder but yourself. The fact that it was even listed on the menu at The inferno is further proof Burt wasn’t in charge there. He hated any and all oddball toppings for Pizza. It literally took him decades before he included spinach or any kind of hot pepper on his menu.
Hatteras04,
The Morton Grove store is actually the original location. Burt opened there in 1971. I worked there from 1973 until the day he sold the place in 1986. Three years later he reopened as “Starbacks” (eventually changed to “Burt’s Place”) two blocks away. I was with him from day one at the new place until the day he closed.
