What is the best Chicago pizza restaurant my husband could go to?

He's going there for some convention soon and I asked him to bring me and my daughter back a pizza. Any suggestions on some of the best places to go to? I've had Uno's and Giordano's in Orlando, so I'd like to have something local.. not a chain. He saw a place where a bunch of cabbies own the place. Not sure what it's called though. Thanks in advance!What is the best Chicago pizza restaurant my husband could go to?
Most of these answers seem to be chains... although they are all good (except I dont like Connies) but my ALL TIME FAVORITE is Chicago Pizza and Ovengrinder Co. in Lincoln Park. There is a bus that takes you to the zoo and its a very close walk from there. They have AMAZING pizza pot pie. The only problem is they don't take reservations so I recommend going when its first opening during the day and not on weekends and also they only take cash Im pretty sure.


Definatly try it out because he can also get frozen ones to take home and make yourself. Also, make sure he tried mediterranean bread- wheat or white- they are equally good. I can't stress how wonderful the food is here. I go a couple times of year (only because I dont live in the city- otherwise Id be there everyday). It also has history to it- it takes place across the street from where the St. Valentines Day Massacre happened. There is a wonderful history on the back of the menu and if you ask you can keep the menu. I have a copy at my house. You can also read the history on the website as well as see the food and prices.

I'm away at school and would KILL for this right now.What is the best Chicago pizza restaurant my husband could go to?
I read over other people's answers, and definitely would rank, in order, as the ones he should try:





1. Lou Malnati's


2. Phil's


3. Connie's





Steer clear of Ricobene's--as someone who spends most of her time in that neighborhood, I've heard the Ricobene's themselves are awesome, but I have yet to really enjoy their food.





P.S. Lou's is good, quality deep-dish with a real craftsman-style touch to it. Phil's is more the greasy, late-night bar pizza. They're both awesome, but definitely different!
I used to live in Chicago, and I loved Connie's. Gino's East is great, too.
If he wants to visit a Chicago Pizza classic, then Home Run Inn is the way to go, but the neighborhood is a little seedy.

If he's stayin' close to downtown, then MyPie on Clark St. is the best deep dish place.

And theres also Phils Pizza on 35th and Aberdeen St. if all he's lookin' for is great pizza.

Lou Malnatis Pizza has just opened it's 25th place. They are all over Chicago Seems pretty popular.





There is Connie's Pizza, 2373 South Archer Ave.


...............Ricobene's, 252 W 26th St.


............... Pompei Bakery, 1531 W Taylor St.





Besides the first one the next three are listed as top three.





Why not go with him and enjoy it there?





Maybe you will get lucky and someone that lives there will answer. But you have to realize what someone else thinks is best may not be best to you or everybody else.





Let your husband decide when he gets there and ask the locals.

For traditional Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, my favorite is Giordano's, but you've already had that.





I would recommend the original Uno's pizza for your husband as they invented the style. But only go to the original for the ambience.





Pizzeria Uno


29 East Ohio


Chicago, IL 60611


312-321-1000








Gino's East and Lou Malnatti's are also similar and very good.
