Lou Malnati's Pizzeria (River North)

Man! Best deep dish pizza I've ever had. Got the Lou's personal pizza which has mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes. Relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff, all around good experience.

For deep-dish pizza, stop into any of the eight Lou Malnati?s locations in the city or Pequod?s Pizza in Lincoln Park; for a classic Chicago-style hot dog, try Portillo?s downtown.

Hands down the one of the best deep dish in Chicago. Gotta try the special, the sausage is superb. Don't come in a hurry, the place is always packed and the pizza is made to order.

Pizza pie! Go to this one rather than the on on S State St. That is full of college kids around 6pm. Prepare for a 40 min wait for tables. This one is way better.

The "order while you wait" was awesome! Best and biggest calamari I've ever had (we thought they were onion rings!). Love the personal size pizzas!

Trio app and "The Lou". Thank me later. A true Chicago deep dish pizza that won't disappoint! Get a medium for two if you're craving leftovers.

Definitely better than Giordanos. Pick here and dont forget to order bruscetta while waiting pizza 40min.

Looking for traditional deep dish? Go with the classic. Personal pan is probably enough for ya

Yes thin crust is a hidden gem but deep dish is just so good (and better than thin crust)

Excellent garlic bread. Don't get to full from it. Leave room for the main dish.
