Chicago’s Best Pizza: Buffo’s

Class, wake up. This next spot is gonna be double the fun. We're both about to get an education in the double-decker pizza at Bufo's in Highwood. And don't worry, I'll try and save you some for snack time. Give me a little history of Bufo's. Well, we opened in 1977. I left my family business and my father called me a Bufo, a joker. So you're a Bufo. I'm a Bufo. I'm a Bufo. We started with thin crust, and about three, four months later, we ran with the double-decker recipe. We are a double-decker family from Bufo's. We love the double-decker. The best pizza ever. It just tastes the best. Second piece of the double-decker, so that should say something. Our viewers tell us where to go, and Tamara, Eric, and Jose said we had to come here. So let's give them a little education on the double-decker pizza. Let's do it. I am your instructor today. The double-decker is just like a pie, but ingredients on top. So you got two pizzas on top of each other, thin crust dough, lots and lots of cheese. Class, are you taking notes? Because we're learning stuff here. Make sure you write this down. What are we going to be making today? Bufo special, which is sausage, mushroom, onion, and green peppers. Perfect. You made pizzas before. I've made pizzas before. And I saw you on TV a few times. I've never made a double-decker pizza. Right now, we have the bottom. We're going to put a little red sauce on it. We're going to put our ingredients on there. Sauce and ingredients on the bottom. And the cheese, lots of cheese. I know you've done sauce before. I'm horrible at doing the sausage. Take the cheese, big hand like this. That's a lot of cheese. Then we have a pre-cooked crust, and we're going to put that right on top, and then we're going to wrap it. We're going to start here and roll it. This is the important part of a double-decker pizza. Yeah, you'll twist it, roll it. This is our second layer. It's like a pie with ingredients in the middle and on top. Sausage, onion, green pepper, mushrooms. Grab the pedal. That's heavy now. Okay. How's that? This pizza is no joke. While that bakes, I'm going to go out there and buffo around with your customers. Sounds good. I don't know if you've ever had two pizzas on top of each other before. One is great, but two, even better. I was a double-decker virgin until now. You basically popped your double-decker cherry. It was everything I could have hoped for and more. It's double-decker. I mean, come on. Are you ready to eat? Yeah, ready to eat. Our double-decker. Let's try it out. This thing is no joke. Like you said, this is insane. You get a crunch of the extra crust that's in the middle, and then your veggies and stuff still stay nice and crisp. I can't believe I've never had this before. If you don't know a class, now you know. Buffo's is the place to go. There's no joking around. At Buffo's, it's okay to be the class clown. That's very true. Double-decker? Double cheers. Double cheers.
