“The Windy City” is best known for its cheesy, deep dish Chicago-style pizza. There’s definitely no shortage of pizza joints in Chicago, but here are the best ones you have to try if you’re taking a trip to the Midwest.
Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria
Lou Malnati’s is a popular family-owned pizza restaurant that uses California tomatoes and Wisconsin cheese to top their massive pies.
Giordano’s
This legendary pizzeria makes a literal pizza-pie by stuffing the bottom layer of dough with cheese and toppings. Don’t miss this famed stuffed pizza!
Uno Pizzeria and Grill
Uno was Chicago’s first ever deep dish pizza restaurant. It opened in 1943 and has been serving up deliciously cheesy pies ever since.
My Pi
This unique yet still classic pizza joint serves up pies with an especially crispy crust. My Pi lovers highly recommend the chicken pesto pizza.
Labriola
Labriola is conveniently located right off Michigan Avenue, so it’s the perfect lunch option if you’re exploring downtown Chicago.
Bartoli’s
Bartoli’s stuffs their pizzas with a garlicky spinach mix that adds a somewhat lighter feel to the traditional deep dish. The crust is crunchy and sturdy to hold up the layers of sauce, cheese and spinach.
