What about thin-crust pizza suggestions near River North Old Town LIncoln Park for carry-out
I've got a hankering for some pizza. Links and online menus would be a plus.

Suggestions
I am landing at 9 on the 19th and leaving that evening on the 5 flight. My family and I are flying up to get some pizza and show my three sons a few landmarks while there. Wrigley's and the fountain, unless I think of something really good before then. I would like to take them to a real good pizza restaurant for lunch and buy one stuffed and one deep dish, all chicago style of course. I feel chicago style is better than new york style, but hey that is just a southern boy talking. So between the airport and the sights with the limited time that I have, where would you say is the absolute best? Remember in route from ORD to the sights and back within the day without traffic problems, hopefully.

The Original Pizzeria Unos

Both are deep dish as opposed to stuffed. I think deep dish is much better than stuffed.

Well crap, so besides Wrigley field any recommendations of true Chicago landmarks that can be seen during a 6 hour layover in Chicago during an MR?

As a Chicago native, I'd have to go with Giordano's over all competing Deep Dish places. The atmosphere at the origional Giordano's jsut a few blocks off Michigan Ave can't be beat- the hustle, the bustle, having to wait outside; all make the ambience so unbeatable!
Enjoy

I would like to find one that is near the Flat Top Grill on Washington since I want to try and drop in on the DO for a little while.

), had lunch at Uno's (was disappointed), joined the group at Flat Top Grill for a visit (his well-behaved kids stood and waited for dad to finish his visit), then headed off to Lou Malnati's for more pizza! Now, that's a Flyer Talkin' family!

The Uno special pizza with sausage, peppers, sausage, onions, sausage, pepperoni and did I mention sausage? Is NOT a good pizza, WAYYY too much sausage. It is a solid 1/2 inch thick piece of sausage covering the WHOLE ENTIRE pizz and it is gross.
I did take ILuvParis's recommendation and he was correct. The next time I am in Chicago I need to take him out to lunch for his excellent advise. You are a wonderful person ILuvParis and now back to the program.

Hmmm, I just read that Burt Katz the owner of Pequod's who is credited with inventing pan pizza with a caramelized crust. His sausage deep dish pizza at his restaurant called Burt's Place in Morton Grove was voted one of the best things that Time Out Chicago magazine had this year. I had also read about Burt's Place in some other food forum.
Burt's Place
8541 Ferris Ave.
Morton Grove, Illinois
Look's like I've got another pizza place to try. DARN !!
