I did a search on Chicago%26#39;s best pizza places. I%26#39;m just a little confused. Is Chicago%26#39;s famous style the deep dish pizza or the stuffed pizza? Giordano%26#39;s stuffed looks great, I read Lou Malnattis has great deep dish, and it looks like Pizzeria Uno is the original for deep dish too. So which way to go? What size (they look soooo big!!) for a family of 2 adults and 3 kids (11yo. good eater and 7 %26amp; 2 yo. regular/bad eaters)?
Chicago style pizza: deep dish or stuffed?
Deep dish. Please do a pizza search on this forum. This topic has been covered many time.
Chicago style pizza: deep dish or stuffed?
the server will suggest to you which size.
If you go to Uno%26#39;s or Due%26#39;s, I would recommend going at an off hour. Otherwise, you%26#39;re dealing with huge crowds trying to get into small restaurants (loooong waits at times.) Maybe it%26#39;s just me, but Uno%26#39;s can seem really cramped when it%26#39;s busy.
Your hotel is not too far from Uno%26#39;s/Due%26#39;s and Giordano%26#39;s is just a bit further than that. Gino%26#39;s East is also a pretty easy walk from your hotel.
LOVED Giordano%26#39;s stuffed. It%26#39;s different and delicious. We loved the atmosphere of the place. I like the way your phrased your question, shows you did some research and just were undedeided. You can%26#39;t hardly go wrong whatever you pick!
Go to Falco%26#39;s on the southside for a real Chicago pizza. Giordano%26#39;s, Uno%26#39;s have turned into ';pizza%26#39;s for hire'; ;-), if you know what I mean.

It has been a while since pizza was discussed. Deep dish pizza tends to be thinner than stuffed (but still thick) and heavier on the sauce. Stuffed pizza is thicker and chuck full of cheese with less sauce.
You%26#39;ll be fine with a large and will likely still have leftovers. Giordanos is much more filling than the others. With the exception of Giordano%26#39;s, I recommend eating at the downtown locations for all since in my experience, quality tends to suffer as you move outof the downtown locations.
My preference is Pizzeria Uno/Due, Gino%26#39;s then Lou Malnati%26#39;s. Giordano%26#39;s is a bit of a different pizza, but if I had to categorize it, I would put it before or after Gino%26#39;s. If you love sausage, get the sausage patty (a layer of sausage covering the whole pizza) at Ginos instead oft he crumbled.
I%26#39;ve tried Ginos, Giordano%26#39;s, Lou Malnatti%26#39;s and Due. Honestly, I liked Due%26#39;s best, then Lou%26#39;s. At least those 2 places have individual pizzas......once you get all that cheese and stuff, you get full very quickly.
The only place I haven%26#39;t tried is Connie%26#39;s. Oh well.....actually I really need good THIN crust pizza!
Just a word of warning - please be careful when feeding deep dish pizza to a 2 year old. The cheese is so thick that I%26#39;ve seen children choke on it. The same goes for Lou Malnatti%26#39;s sausage topping - it%26#39;s a thick sausage patty, hard for small children to eat. Lou%26#39;s thin crust is good, especially with sliced fresh tomatoes. Hmmm, I%26#39;m hungry now.
