What's the best place in Chicago? I go Pequods for deep dish.

Lou Malnati

Cliché, but Giordanos has been my favorite so far.

I haven't tried Pequods yet, but when searching for pictures on Google, I'm not impressed.

Lou Malnati's, though Pequod's is damn good too and there is absolutely no crust that comes close to Pequod's caramelized crust.

it's not cliche...it's the truth...giordano's is the best

i tried gino's east a month or so back...highly disappointed

Cliff Levingston did as well (about 8 months ago or so) at the original location on Ontario and Papa John's and Pizza Hut was probably better. Extremely surprising and even more so disappointing.

Giordano's with ease.

I'm a Pequod's fan but I don't consider it deep dish just because it has a thick crust.

Giordanos is my favorite for deep dish.

Sarpino's is my favorite chain

Undecided on my favorite thin crust - no one has really wowed me yet. So I'll go with my homemade on the grill thin crust.

good point, i should say 'pan'

i should note that im only talking about deep dish...only pizza that matters to me

i dont really like pan pizza enough to think it's all that different from place to place

thin crust, i like father and son, guy's and, honestly, dominoes

please come to your senses people.

chicago style
1. uno's/due's
2. lou malnoti
3. ginos east

thin crust
1. barnaby's northbrook (best pizza on the earth)
2. cw napkin (dont know if they are still around in the city)

stuffed pizza
1. eduardo's pepperoni
2. giordanos

I've always been happy with Suparossa.

Giordano's is tourist TRASH pizza!

Pequods is the best in the city IMO.

+1 on the Sarpino's being the best chain pizza... that's a fact, by a longshot!

Art of Pizza (a block south of Belmont, on Ashland)
Piece
Pequod's

You guys ever try "The Art of Pizza" on Ashland? It's pretty amazing and cheap.

I'm not from Chicago. I've only eaten at three Chicago deep dish places:

(1) Giordano's
(2) Lou Malnati's
(3) Uno's (the original one)

I thought Giordano's was delicious, and found Malnati's and Uno's to be very disappointing. Neither even sniffs my top 10 favorite pizza places. In fact, I doubt I'd ever choose to eat at either Uno's or Malnati's ever again.

Good list!

Half way through this post, I had to leave and go get lunch! I was getting hungry!

Arounf Draft time in June we were all talking about places to go for lunch "downtown"!

How about Giordano's at 225 W Jackson this Friday (8/14) and
Lou Malnati's at 439 N Wells next Friday (8/21)

Then we can vote on it!
