What's always fascinated me as a now long time ex-Chicagoan, is that growing up in Chitown literally 90-95% of all pizzas sold and pretty much 100% of all mom-n-pops joints were the thin crust. The deep dish only began taking hold and gaining national attention as a "Chicago" style pizza was in the 60's & early 70's. To this day thin crust still dominates, yet anytime someone brings up Chicago and pizza, it's almost always the deep dish. Go figure.
Yeah ... Most people don't know we have the best thin crust! I will not give out the sweet spots they don't need to know! That why we laugh at the Goof Balls from NYC who claim that flat skinny cardboard they try to call pizza is the best ... When I first seen them fold that cardboard and place it their pie hole I fell out! Buon Appetito
Yeah, I'm the same. People from Chicago have deep dish maybe twice a year or not at all. The thin crust, which they have recently started calling "Tavern Style" is superb. I grew up thinking that thin crust was supposed to be cut in squares! Now, I'm not in a good pizza state, so there are limited options that serve something good (and no Tavern Style_. Its funny how so many big cities can't get pizza right.
@@shadowpapito I prefer Great Value or "GV" that's sold at out local market called Wal-Mart. Lots of people go there in my small town. We all love GV pizza!
Giordano’s over Lou Malnati’s? This list is way off. Lou’s should be at the top and Giordano’s should’ve switched places. I normally don’t comment on videos, but I’m passionate about my Chicago deep dish. And many of the other pizza chains listed aren’t even that great. Pizzeria Uno or Gino’s East - trash. When you have tourists who aren’t originally from Chicago tell their other touristy friends to go eat and Giordano’s because it’s “the best Chicago deep dish”, we let them because they don’t know any better. But any true Chicagoan (and take it from a true Chicagoan), we eat at Lou’s. We try to course correct and tell people UNO’s or Gino’s East or Giordano’s just ain’t quite up to scratch, but it’s really on them to eat that garbage. Bu for real, there aren’t just these chains, there are other great places like Vito and Nick’s, or Pequod’s or Labriola…go check them out and support them, because they’re equally good, if not better than all of the chains!
Had Gino's the other day after a long hiatus since they've closed down most of their locations. It was worth the drive as it's still delicious. My wife's favorite is either Gino's or Lou Malnati's. I prefer Giordano's. Too bad you didn't try Pequod's in Morton Grove which is yummy or Burt's Place, which I understand is 1st Class but I've never tried it.
All mashed does is read yelp or Reddit and use stock footage. Giorodanos (it’s a stuffed pizza not a deep dish), Gino’s east, Rossetti’s are NOT better than Lou malnatis not even a close comparison. You could make argument on peaquads but not anything else.
I'm from Chicago and while I've never heard of most of the joints mentioned early on, the images were, for the most part, impressive! It used to be impossible to find anything actually resembling Chicago Deep Dish pizza, but by the looks of the pizza at most of the joints mentioned, they've nailed it, or come close enough to be enjoyable as their own creations. A few were less successful at actually being Chicago Deep Dish pizzas, but probably taste great, whatever they actually might be.
I used to live in Chicago. A “Chicago Style Pizza Pie” is delicious and difficult to ‘mess up.’ Most places make a good or very good pie. That being said, I’m a Lou Malnati fan..’
Uno's Pizzeria and Grill serves a different recipe than what you get at the original Uno's/Dou's locations in Chicago, part of the deal when Ike Sewell's widow sold the original shops to the chain was that they would continue to serve the original recipe. Malnati's is ok, but I think their crust is undersalted. I, like most Chicagoans, usually go for tavern style over deep dish.
For some reason, and I am delighted, all the major Chicago Pizza places may be found in the Southwest US, in Phoenix (usually Scottsdale)and in Las Vegas. A bonus treat for homesick Chicagoans. I grew up next to O'Hare in Elk Grove Village, and most of my brothers worked at the local Malnatis.
The fact that giardonnos was voted best by a new York newspaper shows just how bad they really are when both lou Mallnotis and Ginos East are so popular they're available frozen says even more how popular they are
There's Chicago deep dish, Chicago stuffed crust, and Chicago pan. All three are different but for whatever reason they're all called Chicago deep dish. Me personally, I prefer deep dish over stuffed or pan. And yes, Chicagoans do eat and love all three styles. Thin crust is also a thing here and more popular over all the deep dish varieties. Or at least, more thin crusts are sold here than deep dish. It's harder to find places that sell slices of deep dish than it is to find slices of thin. Thin crust cut into squares is known as tavern style.
We had a godfathers pizza in town a long time ago but it's now an overpriced Mexican tragedy. Godfathers had the best sausage pizza which is how I rank all pizzas equally. If you can't make a good sausage pizza then you failed. They also made a damned good taco pizza
They're comparing chains. Piquods is just a single bar isn't it? Never been there but I've heard good things. Giordanos is my favorite deep dish chain of those I've tried. Its UNO that surprises me. I always thought of them as a cheap knockoff. I didn't realize they were "ground zero for the development of deep dish." They're not nearly as good as Giordanos IMO.
Should’ve not even wasted time with the pizzas mentioned before Bartoli’s. Edwardo’s was an excellent restaurant. The owners lost quality control. However from Bartoli’s forward , it’s just a matter of personal flavor choice. And they are original Chicago
"We Finally Know Which Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza Chain Is The Best" Coming from the channel that tells us Five Guys fries are the best, when they aren't even crispy...
I own a pizza restaurant in WI and I think we do pizza pretty awesome! When I go to Chicago I look for a Lou Malnati's!!! Rosati's is disgusting!!!! Never tried Giordanos because the service was so bad! Uno Pizzeria serves their pizzas raw. Lou Malnati's is the best pizza on the planet!!!!!!!!!!
The Nancy's in Atlanta is great but a nightmare to get go to and park. the one in the outer suburbs of Douglasville was not very good and i never went back.. In Smyrna there is a Chigago Pizza and Sports Grill, that is very good. But it's in a dangerous area in an obscure office park. and the police presence is invisible. The food is amazing, it's convenient, And they have endless sports TVs and other menu items.
Giordano's Pizza is not deep dish pizza. Even their boxes say their pizzas are deep dish style. They are stuffed pizza which is not a deep dish pizza because it has an extra layer of dough on top of it.
It’s a thick pizza, that’s it. Sauce, cheese, crust and toppings. People who say it’s not pizza are ridiculous. It’s equivalent to saying an ice cream cake is not ice cream. Absurd.
These Pizza chains must be out North or around the Chicago Area around the Indiana line. I live in Southern Indiana and, down where, I live there’s a lot of pizza joints and, there’s horrible pizza joints for sure and, there’s a few, I don’t care for but, we don’t actually get deep dish pizza pies around this area. I was raised on traditional flat crispy crust and that’s what, I like. I rarely eat deep dish pizza but, if the crust is doughy or raw in the middle the whole deep dish pizza experience is ruined.
The key is the deep dish has to be cooked in an oven with a stone floor, a moderately hot oven in well seasoned pans. If you're missing any of that it won't be any good
I am from (312) I never heard of the 1st two places! They looked Goofy ... Back in the day Edwardo's had the freshest ingredients, I mean that had the herbs growing in the store in front of you face fresh! I never heard of a "Detroit Style" until this year! We never cared or care about "Detroit" anything unless it is the Bears beating the dust out of the Lions! ... I might comment later but they keep talking bout places that I have never heard of. I will keep it moving and maybe come back to the video later! "Detroit Style" SMH .. WTH is that ... Goofy
Having lived in Chicago for 41 years, I can say Giordano's is NOT the best. They do make a good pie, but unlike the Lou's and Gino's East, their sausage pizza leaves something to be desired. I much prefer the "wheel of sausage" in Lou's and Gino's. Giordano's uses crumbled sausage and it just gets lost in the pie.
If pizanos is even half as bad as pizzarea uno is/was, he should just shut the place down. That was the only place I ever in my 42 year life I sent food back and didn’t order anything else.
I can't believe Unos is even on this list! I was getting ready to lose my s#!+ that they were on here and not Giordanos! Unos is not that good in my opinion. Most the people know from Chicagoland have favorite mom and pop shops. My favorite has been Giordanos!
Lou malnaties isn’t very good either. Very little cheese. Blend sausage. Sauce is pretty good. They don’t cut the pizza on account of, and I quote, “ it helps keep the pizza hot, that why we don’t cut it” 😂
Chicago deep dish is horrible, I have been to Lou malnati, gino's, pequods, and several other place in Chicago. The thin crust is amazing and Chicago Italian beefs is perfection
Chicago deep dish should have CHUNKS of tomatoes, Not be paved over with awful sauce. Is Uno’s still there? To hide the other ingredients under that layer of sauce will send me out the door! Boi! Have things go downhill over the past 40 yrs
I prefer Totino's, Jacks, Red Baron, Tombstone, and my ULTIMATE FAV Great Value sold at a small retailer Wal*Mart. These pizzas beat every single pizza joint/chain in this lame video! Great Value does it wright!

Who do you think makes the best deep dish pizzas?
Labriola pizza is the best deep dish hands down....
CONAN's Pizza in Austin, Texas! Their pizza is delicious!
Forgot Connie’s and Leona’s.
No one. Deep-dish "pizza" is abomination to all things good.
You add clips from movies, they don't make sense.

Deep Dish Pizza Rules!!! 🤠👍🇺🇦

In my experience, people go to rosatis for the thin crust more than the deep dish. The thin crust is to die for.
Agreed!!!
It’s nasty.

Angelos in Sterling Illinois just outside Chicago. Absolute handmade perfection

Giordanos is excellent.
Malnati’s
How can you even say a Chicago Pizza is not made in Chicago! That’s just marketing BS!
Deep-Dish Pizza is the best pizza. 🤤🤤🤤
I love deep dish but my heart has been stolen by tavern style 🤤🤤🤤
Deep dish pizza great ,very fresh ingredients have’s a flavor ,that stands a only with there own style.

Yea, seriously. I wonder who did the research on these. I’m seriously doubting their Chicago cred.
Yeh but Peaquods is Detroit style pizza. Not Chicago deep dish
@@davegajraj9991 - it’s deep dish. Detroit style is usually made in a square pan & their crusts are slightly crispier
Beggars is so good.
Giordano's needs to put more tomato chunks on top of their pie
The quality of their pie has gone down hill many times.
A Rosati’s Pizzeria is in Omaha where I live.

Lou’s 🍕 in Chicago is the best. I’d would say Gino’s is a close 2nd. Went to Chicago back in 2012 (10 years ago).
Too much reliance on Yelp for opinions
Giordano's Pizza is not deep dish pizza. Even their boxes say their pizzas are deep dish style. They are stuffed pizza which is not a deep dish pizza because it has an extra layer of dough on top of it.
