SHOREWOOD, IL — The name of the restaurant is Savarino's Pizza, but local customers are about evenly split on why they prefer to order food here. While many people like the pizza, Savarino's Pizza is also known for its broasted chicken, according to Savarino's manager Cesar Aguilar.

"It's about half-and-half," Aguilar said, on whether the broasted chicken or its pizzas are most popular with the customer base.

Pizza is available in regular crust, extra thin and double dough.
