Giordano’s. I want that in me.

Tried Giordano's once. Pretty darn good pie.

I love the corn bread crust on Ginos, and that sausage patty deep dish.

Uno's? Gino's East? Lou Malnati's? Or down here in Central Illinois, get some Papa Del's. Mmmmm.
Papa Del's was always my favorite in Chambana
Also, consider it blasphemy if you will, but some of the best Chicago Style pizza I've had has been from Black Thorn Pub & Pizza in St Louis
closebutnotquite
Can confirm. Blackthorn takes forever but it’s worth the wait.
JasterMereel11
Those sound good and all but they don’t beat Torino’s Party Pizzas! !
cheneygunnin4ever
I just love Giordano's because they'll ship you a frozen pizza of theirs overnight to cook at your convenience. It's pricey but worth it.
DontEatThatTaco
Best part of Orlando is still being able to get Unos and Giordano's. Worst part of Florida is not getting Gino's East :(
KharnApproves
We’ve got a place called Carmine’s here in Jacksonville that does insanely good deep dish
Will have to check that out, heading up that way in a few weeks.
I thought the worst part of Florida would have been a toss-up between Florida Man and tourists.
To be honest, neither are any worse than they were in Illinois or Connecticut, just in the news more because of permissive laws.
HOOMANGUY
Chicago Pizza is an abomination.
cattywumpus
That looks like Giordano's. Malnati's is better. That's right, I said it. Fight me!
giordano is the applebees of pizza
imajames
Everybody in Chicago knows Lou's is better.
Except my in-laws, apparantly. Blech. I prefer thin crust anyway.
Most Chicagoans prefer thin crust too. Never heard of someone in the Chicagoland area consistently ordering deep dish casually.
If you think about it the real Chicago style pizza is the cracker crust party cut pizza
GirlScoutDropOut

That much cheese? Sure, I don't need to shit for a week. Sign me up.
amipsycho
That much cheese would leave me shitting for a week.
chickenman702
Something I don't get about Chicago pizza, why is the sauce on top of the cheese? It looks good but that just doesn't seem right to me
BigFatNoise
With the way it would cook, the bottom crust would be overly soggy and basically impossible to pick up. It also cooks better this way
robsxe
also the with the sauce on top the crust doesnt absorb all of the moisture.
jrabbitmusic
because it’s a fucking casserole!
Snarkwell
Just needs some fried onions on top and we'll have a proper casserole.
FunkyJesus
That bit of his is one of my favorites. Sick refrence, +1 and a good day to you, sir or madam
Pizza this thick takes an extra long time to bake, and if the cheese were on top, it would be burnt by the time it's done baking.
This is exactly right.
That's the reason why you make your pizza thin and only use a little bit of every topping!!!

LupusLilium
That. . . Ohgod I never thought about things that way. Perfectly explains it.
LetheTheArtificer
Add it towards the end then? I mean variable ingredient cooking times is how shrimp boils and other recipes come to be.
You could, but it's more work to take it out of the oven, put the cheese on, then put it back in. Restaurants like to simplify.
That would also make it even harder to keep it from getting soggy. You'd probably have to parbake the crust & precook most other ingredients
uniformedmonkey
There is a place in Chicago called Oven Grinders that makes deep dish with cheese on top. It’s amazing.
well the cheese is at the bottom of the bowl and than flipped upside down
Giving you an amazing dish dish with the cheese on top
HodgePodgekin
I’m currently sitting on a Chicago toilet on business travel right now and can say... Chicago pizza is a giant letdown.
PiAreNotSquared
The pizza knew you were not worthy.
Go to Oven Grinders and get it as take out. They make it closer to a normal pizza with the cheese on top.
I’ll see if they’re at the airport cause I’m departing soon. Thanks, friend
IrrelativeTheory
Ouch. Try another kind of Chicago pizza rather than the deep dish(dd)? I really like Lou Malnati's and Giordano's. Some prefer Gino's for dd
Don’t hate me but those were the exact two that I tried (downtown Naperville). I did like Girodano’s regular pizza, though.
Napervillians, pffft..... Just kidding man, have a good one.
Haha! Thanks, you too
cpttnarg
Chicago is full of snowflakes that like to be different. Theyll say its better for bullshit reasons. On the real tho the sauce is good.
Yo bruh, Chicago Deep Dish Style is not the only pizza in Chicago. It's not even the type of pizza that people usually eat in Chicago.
Ya mang. I know. I live here. But people in Chicago LOOOOVE feeling special for doing something unique. I've gotten thin crusts this style.
Shrug. I lived in Chicago for 22 years. Might depend on your crowd. Pizza's great, no matter its shape.
Don't get me wrong, the pizza is great! But good luck telling someone from Chicago that there's better pizza elsewhere (such as New York)

nero4ty2
Both? Nah. I'm good. If I'm gonna eat pizza I want a nice thin crust, few toppings, and potentially cooked in a coal oven.
you do you
A coal oven, with all those delicious carcinogens and that wonderful coal taste. Totally better than a wood-fired oven for sure.

Lou Malnatis, Giordanos, or Pizzeria Uno....Chicago Pizza and Grinder company is a long wait but unique in its own right.

Pizzaria Uno. Went there when I was 13. I'm now 35, and I will make it back some day.

Beg to differ with other replies. Lou's deep dish is the best .
FreshSticksGarunteedNoLeaves
Wrong, giordanos isn’t the original. Gino’s east is the original. Gino’s east is the best pizza you’ll ever have.
igotagifforthat
Uncle Pete’s or Pequodes are the ones you should try if your feeling adventurous.

Or dip your hot fries in the chocolate shake
Yes! Portillos, Giordanos, & a Cubs game are on the list. Murphy’s before the game, & Cubbie Bear after.
TylerWarranty
Crazy, all these things are in Phoenix, even Cubs games! In off-season
1/2 Don't go to Giordano's. It's over crowded, service is terrible, and it's not all that great. Do what I did, all a local "if you get deep
2/2 dish pizza where do you go. I can't remember the place I was sent to but holy shit was it great.
1/2 Been to the Giordanos in Lakeview, near Wrigleyville. Aside from the 30ish mins for the pizza, there was no wait.
futonrevolutionary
Fuck the Cubs. Get shit faced in the outfield with $5 dollar So tickets and real fans. And hit up Kimski before the game
ElbowDeepInAMoose
Might as well catch a show at the metro as well
As a local - go to Lou Malnati's their deep dish is the best. Giordano's is garbage.
yourmothersvag
Don forget to get some gardinera on that sandwich....spicy is best.
MexicanTacoGuy
Chocolate cake shake was a disappointment.
I didn't have their Cake shake but the regular chocolate cake was a disappointment too. Everything else was phenomenal though.
ZIgnorantProdigy
Is a chicago native I think portillos is overrated altogether. Definitely solid, but way overhyped
What would you recommend?
What kind of food you looking for?
iAmLordBeer
And make sure you order it "dipped".

They dip the whole sandwich bread and all in the au jus
Yup. It’s delicious.

I was there last weekend, I have missed my chance =\
Chocolate malt. Screw chocolate cake shake.
steviEa
Get a side of cheese sauce and dip the Italian beef in said cheese sauce every now and then for maximum orgasm
IncongruousFief
I just open the sandwich and pour the cheese sauce right into it.
I don’t like cheese being in the entire thing. I just like being able to go back and forth
DilbyTilbitz
This person right here knows their shit. On a different note I'm now considering driving 10 hours to go to Portillos and visit some family.
I'll meet you in Naperville for some beef and cake
what time?
Well, let me see. 9 hours to get back in ChiTown. 9 a.m. tomorrow morning.
BadCorrections
the naperville river walk is so nice
AVoiceOfReason
You don't need to go to Chicago to get pizza like this
You don't, but you do need to come to Chicago to get actual good pizza like this. Don't get it twisted little homie
So if a Chicago pizza chef were to move to New York, would his recipe, materials, and skill in pizza suddenly disappear?
yes
SlobberToilet
Deep dish is the shit, but the best thin crust in the states is in Chicago too. Check out CoalFire Pizza on Grand Ave.
This isn’t the chain CoalFire is it? We’ve got a few out here in MD. Not bad, but nothing special.
Not a chain. There are 2 locations, but same owner. It’s true Italian style pizza. Get the vodka meatball.
ilikebenches
how was it?
Excellent. Went to Genos East for the pizza. I liked Giordanos more. Still good tho. Cubs won. Good band at Cubbie Bear afterward.
Hit up a small sandwich shop for an Italian Beef before going to the airport the next day to head home.
yayyyyy! glad you enjoyed yourself, friend :)

They are the best pizza. Not to mention I can have their pizza mailed to me. That's the best.
The pizza was really good. Service was non-existent. They just want you out of the seats so they can serve the next guests. That's the 1/2
downside to being a popular restaurant and having a product that takes timing to serve right. You're not getting an enjoyable experience 2/3
just good pizza. 3/fin
Funny enough I've never been to their restaurant to eat, only to pick it up lol but the pizza is so good I'd probably not notice haha

Lou Malnatis, Giordanos, or Pizzeria Uno....Chicago Pizza and Grinder company is a long wait but unique in its own right.

Pizzaria Uno. Went there when I was 13. I'm now 35, and I will make it back some day.
whatapup
Beg to differ with other replies. Lou's deep dish is the best .
FreshSticksGarunteedNoLeaves
Wrong, giordanos isn’t the original. Gino’s east is the original. Gino’s east is the best pizza you’ll ever have.
igotagifforthat
Uncle Pete’s or Pequodes are the ones you should try if your feeling adventurous.

Portillos, italian beef sandwich and a chocolate cake shake. Don't miss your chance
nanyatenyaa
I hate Chicago beef sandwiches it's the worst part of living here. Fucking soggy as shit sandwiches.

My mom gets portillos delivered to us in KS for her Xmas gift from her brother :D shits good
sullivan889
Man i live 2 blocks from portillos and it is great
Azertyslam
Or dip your hot fries in the chocolate shake
funforabitbutnowthatsdone
Yes! Portillos, Giordanos, & a Cubs game are on the list. Murphy’s before the game, & Cubbie Bear after.
TylerWarranty
Crazy, all these things are in Phoenix, even Cubs games! In off-season

1/2 Don't go to Giordano's. It's over crowded, service is terrible, and it's not all that great. Do what I did, all a local "if you get deep
tourettesguy54
2/2 dish pizza where do you go. I can't remember the place I was sent to but holy shit was it great.
funforabitbutnowthatsdone
1/2 Been to the Giordanos in Lakeview, near Wrigleyville. Aside from the 30ish mins for the pizza, there was no wait.
futonrevolutionary
Fuck the Cubs. Get shit faced in the outfield with $5 dollar So tickets and real fans. And hit up Kimski before the game
ElbowDeepInAMoose
Might as well catch a show at the metro as well
wildfrontierking
As a local - go to Lou Malnati's their deep dish is the best. Giordano's is garbage.
yourmothersvag
Don forget to get some gardinera on that sandwich....spicy is best.
MexicanTacoGuy
Chocolate cake shake was a disappointment.
tourettesguy54
I didn't have their Cake shake but the regular chocolate cake was a disappointment too. Everything else was phenomenal though.
ZIgnorantProdigy
Is a chicago native I think portillos is overrated altogether. Definitely solid, but way overhyped
funforabitbutnowthatsdone
What would you recommend?
ZIgnorantProdigy
What kind of food you looking for?
iAmLordBeer
And make sure you order it "dipped".
Dogedogeydoge
Explain!?!?!?!
lurch9944
They dip the whole sandwich bread and all in the au jus
iAmLordBeer
Yup. It’s delicious.
WhatisaYute
Get a hotdog while you’re at it. Everything on it.
CasualBoulder
I was there last weekend, I have missed my chance =\
wildfrontierking
Chocolate malt. Screw chocolate cake shake.
steviEa
Get a side of cheese sauce and dip the Italian beef in said cheese sauce every now and then for maximum orgasm
IncongruousFief
I just open the sandwich and pour the cheese sauce right into it.
steviEa
I don’t like cheese being in the entire thing. I just like being able to go back and forth
DilbyTilbitz
This person right here knows their shit. On a different note I'm now considering driving 10 hours to go to Portillos and visit some family.
ElbowDeepInAMoose
I'll meet you in Naperville for some beef and cake
dirtyward420
what time?
ElbowDeepInAMoose
Well, let me see. 9 hours to get back in ChiTown. 9 a.m. tomorrow morning.
BadCorrections
the naperville river walk is so nice
AVoiceOfReason
You don't need to go to Chicago to get pizza like this
eric42724
You don't, but you do need to come to Chicago to get actual good pizza like this. Don't get it twisted little homie
AVoiceOfReason
So if a Chicago pizza chef were to move to New York, would his recipe, materials, and skill in pizza suddenly disappear?
eric42724
yes
SlobberToilet
Deep dish is the shit, but the best thin crust in the states is in Chicago too. Check out CoalFire Pizza on Grand Ave.
funforabitbutnowthatsdone
This isn’t the chain CoalFire is it? We’ve got a few out here in MD. Not bad, but nothing special.
SlobberToilet
Not a chain. There are 2 locations, but same owner. It’s true Italian style pizza. Get the vodka meatball.
ilikebenches
how was it?
funforabitbutnowthatsdone
Excellent. Went to Genos East for the pizza. I liked Giordanos more. Still good tho. Cubs won. Good band at Cubbie Bear afterward.
funforabitbutnowthatsdone
Hit up a small sandwich shop for an Italian Beef before going to the airport the next day to head home.
ilikebenches
yayyyyy! glad you enjoyed yourself, friend :)

Moving there within a year
ferventailurophile
I grew up there, moved 11 years ago, regret my leaving. Im stuck in FL. Chicago's wonderful. Enjoy.
CrookedMouth
Strange i am in Florida
ferventailurophile
Do you like it here? My husband loves it my kids and I hate the constant heat.
CrookedMouth
I am moving to chicago because it is less humid

Giordinos. Order ahead of time. Minimum of 45 minutes wait. Don't expect great service, but the pizza is killer!
XestyXanny
What type of pizza is this?
falconuruguay
That is not pizza...please do not insult the good name of pizza by comparing that abomination to it!
Greytrek90
Proper Chicago deep dish. Glorious.
XestyXanny
Interesting. I'm gonna see if I can make one of these badboys at home so I can taste some Chicago too.

They are the best pizza. Not to mention I can have their pizza mailed to me. That's the best.
byohzzrd
The pizza was really good. Service was non-existent. They just want you out of the seats so they can serve the next guests. That's the 1/2
byohzzrd
downside to being a popular restaurant and having a product that takes timing to serve right. You're not getting an enjoyable experience 2/3
byohzzrd
just good pizza. 3/fin
jvant
Funny enough I've never been to their restaurant to eat, only to pick it up lol but the pizza is so good I'd probably not notice haha
