When you ask Americans what their favorite food is you’ll get as many different responses as there are Americans. While you can’t beat a good burger and a slice of warm apple pie, if you ask Chicagoans what their favorite food is you’d be given a swift boot in the keister if you didn’t say deep dish pizza. Chicago is known for their amazing take on...
Heaven in a dish is what it should be called. Malnati’s is known for their buttery crispy crust and chunky vine-ripened tomato sauce on top of hot melted cheese. Lou Malnati started making pies in the 1940s in Chicago’s first deep dish pizzeria. He created his own legacy in 1971 with the first Lou Malnati’s pizzeria. With 57 locations around Chicag...
Do you remember that pizzeria Lou Malnati learned his passion for deep dish? Pizzeria Uno is that place. Opened in 1943 by Ike Sewell and Ric Riccardo (the two of whom are credited for inventing deep dish style pizza), Pizzeria Uno has always been known as theChicago pizza. Fun fact: It was originally called "The Pizzeria" and then briefly became R...
Pizzeria Uno part Due. Do you really need to eat at the iconic Pizzeria Uno, or will you settle for pizza that is basically the same? If so, around the corner lies Pizzeria Due. Some even say Due has one-upped Uno on taste. Many tourists go to Uno because of the history (many Chicagoans, too), but down the block you get all the original goodness as...
Good pizza is in the blood, and Rudy Malnati Jr. hails from legends in Chicago pizza history. Rudy Malnati Sr. and his son Luo Malnati (yes that Lou who branched off into his own famous pizzeria) managed the fore mentioned Pizzeria Uno—Chicago’s deep dish history is a pretty tangled web isn’t it? Rudy Malnati Jr. created Pizano’s in 1991 and quickl...
Many Chicagoans swear by Gino’s pizza. Opened in 1966 by a couple of Italian taxi drivers (Sam Levine and Fred Bartoli) and a grocer friend who was sick of getting sick because of the freezing meat coolers, Gino’s East has its roots in the origins of Chicago deep dish pizza, but not in a way you’d expect. Alice Mae Redmond developed the dough recip...
Some know, many have heard, but few have tried. Pequod’s grew a cult following because of their take on the Chicago deep dish pizza. Deep dish pizza + caramelized crust = pizza splendor. Yes, it’s different from Lou’s and Gino’s, but it may just be the best kind of different. Their original location built in 1970 was hidden away in Morton Grove, Il...
Nancy's claim to fame is the stuffed deep dish pizza. In fact, the founders of Nancy's Pizzeria claim to have created the very first stuffed pizza. Nancy and Rocco Palese immigrated to the U.S. from Italy in 1969, already masters of the Italian thin crust pizza. In 1971 they opened their first pizzeria—Guy’s Pizza. By that time the deep dish style ...
Giordano’s broke into the Chicago style pizza arena in 1974 and is now located in 67 locations all over the U.S. Italian brothers Efren and Joseph Boglio brought their Mama Giordano’s stuffed crust pizza to the historic South Side of Chicago. Completely different from the original deep-dish style, Giordano’s has a non-crunchy crust. The deep dish t...
The original Edwardo’s opened up in 1978 on the North side of Chicago, but now has rebranded to Edwardo's Enoteca. The original Chicago pie was similar to Giordano’s doughy crust style with a twist, Edwardo’s had a doughy crust wrapped around a super stuffed inside of cheesy goodness, and topped off with a chunky style tomato sauce. This Chicago st...
- Vito and Nick’s Pizzeria. Restaurants. Pizza. Ashburn. price 1 of 4. Tossing and saucing pies since 1946, Ashburn shop Vito and Nick’s is the king of tavern-style 'za.
- Marie’s Pizza & Liquors. Restaurants. Pizza. Albany Park. price 2 of 4. Contrary to most of the country’s opinion, Chicago does not exist on deep dish alone.

- Paulie Gee’s. Restaurants. Pizza. Logan Square. price 2 of 4. Brooklyn import Paulie Gee’s serves a wide-selection of Neapolitan-inspired wood-fired pizzas like the signature Hellboy with soppressata picante and Mike’s Hot Honey or the vegan Fast Car with garlic, mushrooms, sauteed bread crumbs and cashew ricotta dollops.
- Middle Brow Bungalow. Bars. Breweries. Logan Square. The char-dappled pies at this Logan Square brewery might just rival the beer that Middle Brow is best known for.
- Pequod’s Pizza. Pizza. Lincoln Park. price 1 of 4. The unofficial reigning champ among locals, Pequod’s has two locations (Morton Grove and Lincoln Park), making it easy to get your fix of its popular pan pizza.
- Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria. Pizza. River North. price 2 of 4. Boasting more than 60 locations across the city and suburbs, it's not hard to see why Lou Malnati's stands out among its competitors.
- Milly's Pizza in the Pan. Pizza. Uptown. price 2 of 4. Every pizza has a defining feature—whether it's the zingy red sauce, the buttery crust or the imaginative toppings.
- George's Deep Dish. Pizza. Edgewater. At this small Edgewater spot, the deep dish pizzas are unlike any other in town. Owner George Bumbaris uses a sourdough starter and recipe that’s based on lagana—a Greek flatbread similar to focaccia.
