Lou Malnati's or Giordano's or.... What's your deep dish pizza preference?

[MTBake]

Man, now Italian beef is on my brain! Mouth is drooling like my Boxers!!!!! Lol

Gotta get it while you're here! Italian beef and deep dish pizza is where it's at.

We also have the Vietmese and Indian inspired resteraunts as well. House of Pho makes decent Vietmese inspired dishes.

Godavari in Hoffman Esates makes pretty good Indian dishes. Plus, it's in the same shopping center as my closest lfs

I've heard that's like putting ketchup on a dog up there! ;Dead

Never put ketchup on a hotdog!! Mustard YES!

Tell my grandkids that! For that matter they would put Play-Doh on one if we let them! Lol

Me, traditional Chicago dog is my favorite.

Uno is the best deep dish I’ve had. Giordano’s is good, but Uno is a bit better.

 

[declanisadog]

lou Malanatis all the way. Even their frozen ones are great.

Best pizza I have ever had was tony & albas in CA. Dont remember the city but was the original before they branched out. Mountain view CA I think. Got them every night before the giants game at candlestick park. Tony and alba made the pies.
That was in the 80's.
Anyway my favorite was "garlic, clam, and tomato".
I can taste it just thinking about it.
Corporate was in Chicago on Wacker dr when I worked for Morton. Dont remember the place but the Pizza was to die for.

I'm a Gino's East guy.
I briefly attended UIC and Gino's East was my place of choice.
I'll be at Reefapalooza and plan on stopping in, for sure.

Similar story...worked at UIC for four years. Tried all the deep dish places I could find. It is a matter of taste, but I like Ginos East also. Sad they have all turned into chains (Uno, Giordianos, Malnatis, Ginos)...it has negatively impacted quality from my memories of deep dish from years ago.

Now if you really want a good debate ask which is the best Italian Beef sandwich

None of them! The meat used is the worst and is cooked into sludge. It ends up being all about the bread and what you add to the sludge.

NY style

 

[Bruce60]

For the chicago atmosphere anf if you are sitting down to eat for deep dish hit up uno. Downtown. You can’t go wrong.

Rather than Uno go around the corner to Duo.

 

[Flippers4pups]

NY style

Like that!

 

[Daniel@R2R]

Heading to Chicago for RAP. Deep dish pizza is a must to try.

Which one is better? Or what's your preference? Tell us why!

GREAT Question! I think we should try BOTH!

ROFL Tomato soup in a bread bowl..... Sound like deep dish "pizza" to me too. Skip that nonsense and go get some traditional thin crust NYC pizza.

You do realize pizza as we know it evolved from Italy with tomato sauce on focaccia bread? And where did all the Italian settle when they came to the USA? NYC of course, and where is the best pizza made? NYC of course.

Seriously though, Uno's I found to be the best for my palate when I visited.

I grew up in the burbs and I like all the Pizza there. But I would skip the Pizza, go to Portillos instead.

Hey hey hey, there are plenty of Italians in Chicago too. If you want some authentic Italian, do not forget to pass by Little Italy.

 

[link81]

homemade, lived in and around chicago most of my growing up years, parents still live there.
there isn't anything in NY that even compares, so i had to learn how to make my own.

 

[Waterislife]

Connies deep dish

 

[Reefnman2]

Now if you really want a good debate ask which is the best Italian Beef sandwich

Portillo's hands down.

 

[george51349]

IMO, Buona is better than Portillos. Portillos does have good dogs though.

Yeah can't go wrong with either one.
