A few tips on deep dish pizza.

There are two kinds of deep dish, Pan & Stuffed. The two are VERY different from one another.

Stuffed is a crust on bottom, stuffed w/cheese & 'toppings', then another layer of dough, then sauce on top. So more like a pizza pie. Places like Giordano's & Eduardo's are known for their stuffed.

Pan pizza is crust on bottom, cheese, 'toppings', then sauce. Places like Lou Malnati's, Gino's East, serve pan pizza.

To me there is no comparison on quality, pan pizza easily outshines stuffed.

Lastly: If you find yourself hankering for a deep dish pizza outside of Chicago Do NOT ever go to an Uno's pizzeria & grill franchise (www.unos.com ), it is an abomination franchise chain of the original Pizzeria Uno's (which is excellent & can be found at 29 E Ohio, one block north of Pizzeria Uno is Pizzeria Due which also serves excellent pan pizza like Pizzeria Uno's)
