Second the recommendation for Xoco!

For a local chain with good (if not good for you) food. There is a Portillo's not too far away as well. You can try a Chicago-style hotdog or a Maxwell Street Polish.

Speaking of repeating oneself, I spend a lot of time here telling folks that Giordano's isn't Chicago deep dish pizza - it's stuffed. If you want that, it's cool, but I hate to think people come to Chicago for the original deep dish and don't realize that they haven't gotten it.

Also, Lou Malnati's is on Wells and both it and Uno's (or Pizzeria Due - same thing) are great for the real thing.
