As much publicity as Chicago deep dish gets, there are only a few places that do it really well and thin crust is much more prevalent. You can get any kind of pizza in Chicago. There are a lot of places in Chicago that have good tavern pizza (cut in squares). Another thing is "Quad Cities" pizza. Lou Malnati's is my favorite for deep dish, but the best pizza I've ever had has been Pizzeria Uno or Due, but I find Lou's more consistent.
I was shocked to learn that Lou Malnati was the Uno’s founder. I learned this years after going to THE UNO’S and discovering their tight tables and benches. I had been going to the UNO’s in SF for ages before hitting Uno’s Mecca.

They said the difference between NY and Chicago styles was where the toppings go. Chicago would put the toppings on after the sauce, but before the cheese. NY would put the toppings on after the cheese. After all this time, I prefer the NY style, but as a driver, I would do 30 to 40 deliveries on an average night working 3 to 11 pm by myself or 20-30 deliveries working with a second driver on busy nights.
I like Giordano’s and Gino’s East but Lou Malnati’s is my favorite deep dish. I can’t decide what to do about deep dish so for now I’ll remain inactive. No goldbelly for now.
