1. THANKS for these pics!

Uno, Due, whichever has a table!

[B3Nut]

2. I've only had Giordano's and Uno...

and I liked Giordano's a LOT when I've been in Chi-town. I love Chicago...yes indeedy!

Todd in Cheesecurdistan...cheesehead with an iPass

4. We have Uno's in the DC area...

Pretty good.:9

[Symarip]

11. It's official

You really don't have any taste at all, do you?

14. Look who's talking nacho boy!

:eyes:

5. Edwardo's or Giordano's.

Still remember when the first Edwardo's opened on Howard Street back in '79 or so.

YUMMMMMMM!!

[Wapsie B]

10. Edwardo's hands down.

I love their spinach pizza! Ate at the one on South Dearborn (Printer's Row) this past winter, but I first went to the one on Howard. If there is pizza to die for this is it. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

23. No more Edwardo's where I live.

They all closed.

Closest one is in La Crosse, Wisconsin, I think.

But man, that's good pizza.

[surrealAmerican]

6. You left out both Edwardo's and Carmen's ...

... both of which are very strong contenders.

[DS1]

7. Nice positioning, kid

[HopeHoops]

15. I had the same thought...

... I just wasn't going to say it.

[OmahaBlueDog]

18. Actually, I just put in whatever the links were at photobucket

When you do the search, they all come up as thumbs.

8. Most deep dish is really bad - a huge gut bomb.

Pequod's is ok I guess. Geno's should be burned to the ground (that fire will burn about eight days).

I went to Freddy's in (16th and 61st) Cicero on Saturday and I guess that is deep-dishy. Very good - I just love that place.

9. Deep Dish Pizza sucks.

:puke:

[OmahaBlueDog]

17. ...and that thin crust slop they eat in New York swallows

OK - I'm kidding

[bigwillq]

20. At least you can swallow

the New York, thin kind. Unlike that too thick and nasty Chi-town crap! :rofl:

[OmahaBlueDog]

21. I enjoyed watching Mike Malnati torch Bobby Flay on Throwdown

...maybe he should just stick with grilling.

[bigwillq]

22. I must've missed that one.

:shrug:

[ccharles000]

12. I don't like deep dish

I like my pizza thin

[redqueen]

13. Don't remember the name of the place we went...

but the tables were crammed so close together it was hard to imagine how the waitstaff dealt with it.

I love deep dish pizza.

[Silver Swan]

16. We prefer Due's to Uno's

I know they're supposed to be the same, but somehow Due's seems better.

But since we moved to the far northern boonies, we now settle for Lou Malnati's.

[OmahaBlueDog]

19. Strangely, I agree with you

My favorite is Lou Malnati's

I haven't been to Home Run Inn or Gino's -- that is on my to-do list for the next Chicago trip

I've been to the Giordano's in downtown, as well as their two locations near Disney World. I enjoy the pizza; however, 2 of the 3 times I was there, I had awful service

I've been to Uno and Due -- you're right -- something about Due is better, but I've never been able to put my finger on just what it is. The deep- dish is great, though

[Arugula Latte]

24. Pizza should be thin. This is just wrong.

It's more like a casserole than a pizza.

:P

[davsand]

25. That is cause for debate within my household.

Hubby swears it is Gino's East hands down, and I am a fan of Uno's. We have to hit both and then debate the subject for another few months.

Then we go back to Chicago and do it all over again because you just never know...


:evilgrin:
