    Chicago Native here, who works downtown. From downtown original deep dish pizzas, the original pizzeria uno or their second location pizzeria duex. I tried a different deep dish pizza every Friday for almost 2 months and that was my winner. Best combination of crust/bread, sauce, cheese and ingredients. There’s a few spots I still need to try like Labriola. Roberts pizza and dough company is a great brick oven/artisan thin style along the riverfront. I’ll keep you posted though. Thanks for stopping by.

Too bad about the pizza, I like the sausage at Lou Malnati's but agree that selecting your own toppings would have been better flavor profile.

    My family took a three-day trip to Chicago this past August and had a great time. We were staying in that area just north of the Loop, so we did a lot of the same things. In fact, we were in the Starbucks roastery a few times, because it was right around the corner (and the coffee was awesome). My wife and I did a lot of walking along the lake shore, with incredible views of the skyline. The museums were great (Art Institute and Field Museum), and we had a lot of good food -- it pays to head down to Greektown and Chinatown if you have the time. It's a cool city.

    I go to Lou's often, but i basically always get the extra thin crust with sausage, its cracker thin. Most people think deep dish is typical Chicago pizza, but most people aren't eating deep dish, its usually for when people from outside are coming to visit and they want to try deep dish. Deep dish is good, but thin crust, square cut, tavern style, is classic Chicago pizza.

  • @richwajda8771
    @richwajda8771 Год назад

    Lincoln Park, and the Lincoln Park Zoo are worth a visit, then walk over to Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder for their "pot pie" pizza and Mediterranean bread.
    Also, most locals don't eat deep dish regularly. Aurelios thin crust is really good. If you like a lot of toppings, try the Super Six, but beware: it's almost as filling as a deep dish!
    And don't be afraid to get away from the loop: the neighborhoods have amazing food of every ethnicity imaginable.

I drove this trip a couple times last year and I dreaded driving under Chicago and always ended up splitting my trip by staying in Rockford, IL mainly because I was intimidated by the thought of staying in Chicago. I was wondering if there's an easy and not too mind blowingly expensive way to drive my car into Chicago and just stay the night and jet to MN the next day...maybe enjoy some night food...I'd be in Chicago around 6pm on thursday. Where would you stay for one night just driving thru? I'm going to keep doing my research, but I'm running out of time as I leave July 27th! Love you guys!
