It's time for our weekly Chowdown Showdown!
This week, we are on the hunt for the best place to get pizza in the Barrington and Lake Zurich area.
It is simple to vote on your favorite spot: All you need to do is sign into our site and then comment below with your vote. Feel free to elaborate on why this restaurant’s pizza is so fantastic. Prefer Chicago-style pie? Or is it thin crust you crave? Whatever it is that has put your favorite pizza place on the top of your list, we want to hear about it!
You have until 5 p.m. Tuesday to let us know your favorite spots. You can vote by telling us in the comments section of the column, or by commenting on Facebook — Lake Zurich Patch page, Barrington Patch page — or by sending us a message on Twitter — @BarringtonPatch or @LakeZurichPatch.
On Wednesday morning, we will post the top three finalists — determined by your votes in this article, on Facebook and on Twitter — in a poll. Then it will be time to vote again — this time for the weekly Chowdown Showdown champion.
Voting will continue through 5 p.m. Friday. We will post the Showdown winner first thing Saturday morning.
Sound good? Great. Now lets get the voting rolling. Where is the best place to get a good pizza around here?

Slyce in Wauconda. Upscale, Neapolitan-style as found in Italy. Coal-fired, thin, chewy, delicious.

Di Piero's in Lake Zurich is our go-to place for pizza. They will make it well-done if you like it a bit less gooey and the crust and sauce is marvelous.

We're definitely passionate about pizza but our opinion is a bit biased... :)

East Side Joey's in Algonquin. Their ingredients are bar none, and their ownership knows Chicago style Pizza as well as anyone.
