If you're thrifty like me, one of the Elevated train lines ends at O'Hare, and the first stop out from the airport is the convention center, about 5 minutes. You need to have small bills and buy a fare card at a kiosk outside the O'Hare station, which, I think might be under a runway. Follow the signs, which can be confusing. It's quite a walk to the station, you go by a couple of lame tourist stores and one of the Hilton's entrances. The Elevated becomes the subway, and it's about 40 minutes to downtown. I've yet to have a problem, and the airport is on the northwest side of Chicago.

With regard to pizza, I do not know about by the airport, but Rolling Meadows/Arlington Heights is about 20 minutes by local streets, as long as traffic is not bad; there is a Gino's East (or used to be) at or around Golf/New Wilke/Algonquin. I favor Lou Malnatti, but I have no idea where they're located. Your best bet is to go with the place mentioned by the board member, that is close, unless you're adventurous.
