The iconic deep-dish pizza is surely on every Chicago visitor’s must-eat list. Here are the best pizza joints to enjoy the full Chicago cheesy, thick-crusted experience.
Gino’s East
Gino’s has a unique, Blues Brothers-inspired interior and they brew their own beer. The deep-dish pizza has a sausage-stuffed crust and fennel flavors. It’s a big hit with the locals.
Labriola Ristorante
Labriola is a bit of a hidden gem. Its crust is extra chewy and the cheese is extra cheesy. It’s also affordable and is located off Michigan Avenue.
Burt’s Place
Burt’s Place is so popular that you actually have to call and pre-order your pizza. It’s worth it though. The charmingly retro joint is just outside Chicago but actually makes some of the best pizza in the state.
My Pie Pizza
For a deep-dish pizza joint, My Pie Pizza has a relatively thin crust. This doesn’t deter customers though. The counter-service pizza is incredibly popular with locals and is usually packed out.
Pizzeria Uno
These twin pizzerias are the birthplace of the Windy City deep dish. If you’re a real lover of pizza, this is one to tick off the list.
