I don't like Lou Malnatti's. I like Giordano's and Edwardos. I also like Domino's, since I work there

And there you have it, DePlod. Anyone who suggests Domino's>Lou's, they only mean trouble. It's like saying Danielle Steele>Charles Dickens. What more can you say? Enjoy yr Lou.

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...

 

That's the deciding factor on whether people love or hate Lou's. Personally, I like to be able to bite into a slice and not tear off a 2 lb. slab of meat.

Ok, that's enough discussion on large meat and sausage for me.

Thanks everyone, not being a native, I'm sure we'd love anybody's deep dish, but Lou's it is.

Now we've just got to sort breakfast out. As we'll be having a few of these, maybe this discision isn't quite so crucial.

 

Don't worry, I won't be asking which hot dog stand we need to to frequent or open up the topic of ketchup or no ketchup. :)

Out here in Boulder there is this place called Old Chicago (I think there is some in the IL area but I have never seen them) Everytime I see the commercial where they talk about thier Chicago Style deep dish and the guy lifts his hand and shows like a half an inch I want to huck my remote at the TV. I have renamed the place Fo Chicago and refuse to step foot in there. On the other hand, there is a place here called Mustards Last Stand. The guy that owns it is from the southside and always gives me discounts when I wear my sox hat. Has a wall where people can bring pictures in of thier favorite Hot Dog stand.

I don't mean no trouble, I just don't like Lou Malnatti's. I also like Dominicks, as you get a 16-inch pizza for 5 bucks on Friday. That pizza is quite good. But Edwardo's and Giordano's kick ass

If you did ask the question about the best hot dog stand, the answer wpild be Fat Johnny's on South Western. :headbang :headbang

It seems you made your decision - Lou's is awful good but having worked for Ike Sewell the original owner of Pizzeria Uno and Due - Pizzeria Due is the best!

 

Lou Malnatti was one of the first managers at Pizzeria Uno and left to start his own chain - they do have great pizza you can't lose either way!

I know I've seen that name on a sign. Where is that exactly? Is that near Addison and Damen, right on the corner?

 

Close...its on Southport and Addison. I am pretty sure there are a couple others in the chicagoland area.

That's the one.

 

The 'experts' chime in.

There is no way that Gino's East belongs in the top 5, and I'd argue it shouldn't be in the top 10. I'd also bump Giordano's down a few places. I honestly haven't tried some of the ones toward the bottom.
