Due and Uno are the same thing.

 

I have to go with them, they've been doing it before anyone. And I still think they do it the best.

Due's is much better then UNO's when I've had both.

Lou's, but Giordano's is great too. Then Gino's East, but it's definitely a cut below those two. Home Run Inn slots in that 2nd level, as well.

 

The original Uno's/Due's aren't bad, but there's less cachet value there -- everyone thinks they've been to Uno's.

 

With any of these, try to go to one of the older establishments in the chain. The newer ones are sometimes equally good, but it's a bit more hit-or-miss.

Casey's General Store.

 

It's not deep dish, and it's not in Chicago, but it is delicious.

You live in Ames, IA, and you are talking about convenience store pizza?

 

Hello?! Great Plains Sauce and Dough! Best pizza west of the Mississippi!!!!!

My two favorite: Itailian Fiesta and Waldo Cooney's. (Slav, you know what I'm talkin bout. :)) Capri's Pizza is up there too and so is Bob n Jacks.

 

As far as on this list.. Pizzaria Uno I would have to say.

 

 

Waldo Cooney's on 51st?? Hell yeah, good thin crust pizza.

Archer and California in Brighton Park.

 

Similar to Home Run Inn without being overpriced.

 

That's the one. The place and the service aren't all that great, but the pizza is kick ass and very reasonably priced. We make a trip over there a few times a year for it.

For Chicago style thick:

1. Eduardo's

2. Lou Malnati's

3. Uno's

 

For thin crust/cracker crust:

1. Barnaby's

2. Jake's

 

Other:

1. Home Run Inn makes a medium thickness, buttery heart-clogging cheese-laden disaster of a pizza, and it tastes REALLY good.

2. Pequod's

Eduardos is some damn good stuff, I think Lous and Giordanos goes for a tie, Barnabys is also good thin crust probably the best.

Oh hellllllllllll no.

 

 

You either really like GPS&D or you really don't.

 

I'm one of the latter. Half my floor swore by it, the other half didn't.

 

I think everyone likes Pokey Stix though.....

As a tourist, the best thing to do is hit either of the two vote leaders. They are the standard bearers of the art, and you will have had a Chicago style deep dish pizza. My preference is Lou's sausage, eaten with a knife and fork.

 

Everyone will find a pie they like better, but if you can have just one, go with one of those two.

 

LMAO, I knew this had to be pizza by the title.

Thank you all, Lou Malnati's it is then.

 

Now then, does Lou Mitchell's on W Jackson Blvd realy serve the best breakfast ( I think it's in walking distance from our hotel, The Palmer House )?

Best breakfast in Chicago = Toast (2000 block of North Damen)

I was thinking the same thing. It may be time for 1-800-Lou To Go

I'm having some Lou's out of the freezer tonight. Bada bing.

 

I worship Lou's, but, at the one I usually go to they've been cutting down on the amount of sausage on a pizza. They'll put the old wheel-of-sausage on it if you ask, but you have to ask now. Anyone else find this?

 

Too many High-Rise Men in the city, complaining about beautiful, glorious cholesterol...
