Deal of the day . . .

I love my Chicago pizza, but there's something about this scruffy New York-style pizza spot that makes my mouth water.

Santullo's (1943 W. North Ave., 773-227-7960) is no-frills, with blaring rock music, hardwood booths, cafeteria-style seating and punk rock looking staffers who act like they don't care but crank out one mean pie.

They're known for their generous slices, which are served until 5am on Saturdays, but during the week you can get cheese, pepperoni or sausage for only $2. That's Monday-Friday 4-6pm. Order a glass of beer or wine, and you're good to go.
