I need to clarify the Uno's recommendation that is being made. The Uno's that is being recommended is the one downtown by Due. It is not the shitty chains. The chains suck. They take short cuts in their ingredients and cooking methods. They defintely violate the integrity of deep dish pizza.

go to Pequods, its unique out of most of the places, but living here im pretty sick of deep dish and go with thin pizza at petes mostly now, that deep dish will make you one fat bastard, haha
Been living in chicago ten years, been to all of the places listed on this thread mutliple times and by far, the best deep dish pizza in the city is.....
PEQUODs!!!
Great little bar/atmosphere too.
Piece in Bucktown/Wicker Park is a great place for thin crust, microbrew, and atmosphere...
The service at Giordano's sucks!!! I'd NEVER go back for that reason. Racism is alive and well in North Chicago!
Your quote is funny, b/c North Chicago is a town well north of Chicago that is about 98% African American. I think you mean the North Side of Chicago. This statement is true of the whole city. Chicago is the most segregated city in America.
Yeah, I meant the North Side. I'm Latino, but I didn't expect this in a BIGGER city. Was just quite surprising to me at the time. (I tend to see the good in people). My wife was classic, left a $0.09 tip just to let that little scrub know we were tipping, but his service was pitiful.
I had roomies in college from the South Side and they couldn't stand the North Side. BIGGEST Cub haters I ever met in my life. Glad to see you're a White Sox Fan! I think Obama put it best. "I don't root against the Cubs, I just don't root for them either."
"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience." Mark Twain
No one has mentioned the best pizza in Chicago, both Deep Dish and Thin Crust.........ART OF PIZZA!!! (On Ashland, North of Diversey). Chicago's Pizza is pretty decent, too. I would say Geno's East & Giordano's are a step below Chicago's & especially AoP. Pequod's is in there too. Lou Malnati's sucks in my opinion. Now I'm going to have to swing by Art of Pizza on my way home from work since I'm talking about it.

i tried art of pizza when i lived over by paulina stop, i didnt know what to try so i just got the pan, i wasnt a fan, it was basically all bread. Maybe i messed up and didnt get the right kind of pie, since i do hear alot of good things about that place.

Yes, you messed up! haha. The three pies that they have there are Thin Crust (Amazing!)...Almost as good as NY in my opinion, but lets not get crazy here.
Secondly, they have the "Stuffed", which is also amazing! The stuffed is like a traditional Chicago Deep Dish, but better! The thing I hate about most Chicago stuffed pizzas is the solid 1/2 inch layer of cheese that is like a solid brick in the middle of the pizza. Art of Pizza's cheese is still plentiful, but not as hard and thick, so its not too much.
Last, and definitely least, they have the "Pan", or "Deep Dish", which is very limited in the use of their best ingredient...The SAUCE! The Art of Pizza has the best sauce, HANDS DOWN, out of any pizza I've ever had in my life. It is basically all bread as you said. You should go back and try one or both of the other two kinds that they offer. I guarantee you will taste what all the fuss is about!
