Pizza is the mainstay at Midway. It's a thicker-than-average pie, but that aspect is balanced off by the right amounts of all the other ingredients. While heading in the direction of a Chicago-style pizza, it stops short of that. I mean that as a compliment. Meanwhile, they also make a pie out of polenta--the Italian answer to grits, with a different flavor. The porridge-like, thick stuff goes into a pizza pan, where it's topped with cheese, bacon, green onions, and a few other things. It is much better than it sounds, or even seems possible.
