Positive: High-quality deep dish pizza only found in Chicago. Go for Pizano’s if you want thin crust and Lou Malnati’s for the deep dish.
Negative: Must buy a whole pizza pie. Also pizza is very cheesy and may not be good for those with health problems
Overall: Must try a few of these awesome deep dish restaurants when visiting Chicago.

Tired of new york style pizza? probably not…but if you are a pizza lover you must try chicago style deep dish pizza!
Wow, pizza is definitely the ultimate food choice when it comes to those that cannot eat meat. It is delicious, contains all the food groups, and can be eaten any time of the day and at any pizza temperature. I enjoy pizza very much and I had a chance to explore various restaurants in Chicago offering deep dish and thin crust pizza.
I also had a chance to go to Giordanos which I have been to in the past and again enjoyed it very much. This pizza is different from the other deep dish pizza as it is stuffed with cheese, lots of cheese which may be a little too filling for most people.
Lou Malnatis is another restaurant which is extremely delicious and has a balance between stuffed deep dish pizza and thin crust pizza. This is definitely a great place to go when you head to Chicago.
Another restaurant I explored was Gino’s East which is also well known for its highly rated great tasting Pizza. This is more of a deeper dish than Lou Mainatis but not as much as Giordanos. Again this also tasted very good and I would recommend this place as well.
I had a chance to also eat from the original Pizzeria Uno’s in Chicago which is very different from what you would eat at the chain restaurant. However you do get a pretty good idea of what a deep dish would taste like when you go to Uno’s chain restaurants throughout the USA. However, you JUST get a good idea but don’t experience the real taste of Chicago.
Chicagoans enjoy pizza sitting down and relaxing. Unlike the Northeast where we eat pizza at anytime of the day and in any way, the Chicago area enjoys sitting in a nice restaurant while having their meal (you can see this by the Uno’s Chicago based restaurant chain which shows you what a typical chicago pizza joint usually looks like).
Overall I like Lou Mainatis and Pizano’s for the great pizza. Unos and Gino’s is also up there on list. Giordanos s great fresh but you can’t be for the fainthearted who have cholesterol issues as it is really a stuffed pizza. Most of these restaurants are owned by families who have been in the area for a very long time. They treat their guests like family and the atmosphere is also great, especially when its filled to capacity with long lines out the door. I would recommend taking the Chicago Pizza tour if you love Pizza as you will get to experience a little bit of each restaurant. You can even try it at home by ordering it online (Lou Malnati’s and Giordano’s do ship) I tried eating at a new Pizza Restaurant every day, and by the end of 3 days I couldnt look at Pizza anymore! Chicago Pizza is great, You must try it. But for those living in the Northeast, nothing is better than good old fashion New York Pizza!
