Pizza Review
Pizzeria Uno - 4/5

Would go again if downtown.
Zeke, Nate, Reile and me.
Right in the heart of downtown Chicago. This place literally invented deep dish pizza. Not stuffed though! Which I came to realize are different things - i hadn't had real deep dish pizza in my whole life. (Though I still probably prefer stuffed.) This is the place that tourists are told to go to to try authentic Chicago
deep dish pizza. I didn't like the spinach, but the most popular "Numero Uno" pizza is good - very flavorful with a tangy sauce. The crust was not super thick (some places pass of deep dish as thick crust). The crust itself tasted of cornmeal and was stacked with a generous amount of toppings on top to make it about pie thickness - oh wait I have a pic:
Pequod's 3/5 -
Indifferent. I would go back b/c of the area and the fact it's deep dish.
Just me and non-CIC.
So I just had real deep dish pizza at Pizzeria Uno's the day before I ate here. And this place is real deep dish too. It's actually a bar first and the pizza was so good it became more family friendly and a restaurant. After Critical Mass, we headed over there, everyone highly recommended it and it's Adam's favorite place. It's got a nice upstairs seating for when the bottom fills up. I enjoyed the pizza. Not as good as Pizzeria Uno I would say. The flavor doesn't pop as much. It is right across from Webster theater, so it's closer. And they have real tables instead of posicle sticks to put ur pizza and plates on. But the best thing about the pizza here is the melted cheese on the crust.
