Windy City touts itself as Tampa's original gourmet pizza restaurant. With a huge menu and spacious dining room, Windy City is a staple of North Tampa. The restaurant is a mix of a pizza parlor and sports pub, with its multiple televisions and tables scattered about inside and outdoors. The beer and wine make the pizza taste that much better.

With more than 65 toppings, you'll find anything from smoked gouda and anchovies to Canadian bacon and lobster. The menu is packed with different specialty choices, all carefully named to match the restaurant's Chicago theme. An abundance of healthy pizza combinations lets you have your pizza made with or without sauce, pan style or thin crust. Pizza sizes range from 10 to 14 inches. The menu also offers appetizers, calzones, salads, sandwiches and pastas. - Shari Missman Miller
