Pizza, Chicago Style

I ate Pizza for lunch today and I started thinking about Chicago Pizza!  For those who have been there, you will know what I am talking about.  Chicago Deep Dish Pizza rules!  I don't think I can eat at Pizza Ranch or Pizza Hut anymore.  I am suffering Chicago Deep Dish Withdrawal!

I kind of consider myself a Chicago expert since I have been there so many times.  I think I have eaten at just about every major Chicago Deep Dish Pizza place.  I bet I have eaten at at least 15 to 20 places since I first went to Chicago when I was a wee little lad in the early 80's.  I have my favorites, just like all Chicagoans.  I love Gino's East downtown (Ontario & Wells) and Giordano's (the one right off Michigan Ave. is the best.)  Both places are tourist magnets but the pizza is top notch.

Anyway, without further adieu, here are my top 10 Chicago Pizzerias:

1. Giordano's
2. Gino's East (only the one on Wells)
3. Lou Malnati's
4. Pequod's Pizza
5. Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Co.
6. Bacino's
7. Pizzeria Due
8.  Pizano's
9. Home Run Inn
10.  Pizzeria Uno
