I’ve enjoyed Chicago deep dish at the original old Pizzeria Uno, is it still there? It was very good but more akin to a large open-faced calzone or something. Actual pizza has a thin slightly crisp crust. New York style done right is best, imho. Not too very many places know how to do that anymore, though, even in New York. They get carried away. Should be simple.
I was shocked how bad their famous deep dish was at Uno’s last time we went. Time before we had their thin, which was great. Will not be buying the deep again.
I believe Uno’s is still at its original location and is a bigger chain now. Lou Malnati’s (son of the inventer of the Chicago deep dish) and Gino’s East is excellent deep dish pizza. I have had NY pizza a few times while there. It is very good but my taste still prefers the deep dish type.
Pizzeria Uno is still there. A block north on Wabash is Pizzeria Due’s his second restaurant. They’re about the only reason I venture to downtown Chicago.
