Upon arriving for a stay at the Thompson Chicago on the corner of Bellevue and Rush, I was happy to hear the concierge tell us that we had three solid nearby pizza options in Lou Malnati’s, Pizano’s, and Connie’s. I already knew that I would greatly enjoy Lou Malnati’s and Pizano’s based on previous experiences. However, we were already […]
Pizano’s Pizza & Pasta presents an interesting quandary to its patrons…is it best to order their deep dish or thin crust pizza? Surely, a restaurant owned by Rudy Malnati Jr, – son of Pizzeria Uno founder, Rudy Malnati Sr. – must make some pretty excellent deep dish pizza. However, their thin crust pizza has been listed […]

Ike figured […]
I am ashamed and embrassed that my first post about pizza in Chicago comes from the O’Hare airport. However, I would have been more embarrassed to have a pizza website without any Chicago pizza post, so I had to jump at the opportunity provided by a layover at O’Hare. Reggio’s claims to be Chicago-style pizza, but […]
