Chicago style deep dish pizza

I have a craving for this kind of pizza and the only place that seems to offer it is UNO pizza and they're charging ***30 DOLLARS** for a small! Help me, DL!

It is so easy to make,

Make a tough pie crust, fill with pound of cheese, put a too sweet tomato sauce on top. Bake for a long time.

All done!

OP, that photo doesn't resemble the pizza I picked up from Pizzeria Uno in Chicago. It was so unexpectedly heavy I almost dropped it and I couldn't eat more than 2 slices. I've never seen anything that resembles what I bought there. Maybe make your own?

They opened a place that specialised in this in London in the late 70s. It was a huge hit and a very big deal and the pizzas were so good and I've never had one since it shut down. It was called The Chicago Pizza Pie Factory.

by Anonymousreply 20October 8, 2019 7:58 PM

Lou Malnatis has a much better crust than Uno's. But if you are looking for the absolute best deep dish in Chicago, you have to go to Peuqod's. The sauce is mouth-watering.

Those deep-dish pizzas have a lot of toppings or fillings. Depending on how many servings you get from that pizza, it might be worth $30. Especially if it's restaurant service.

R48 pizza hut was good once upon a time, back in the 80s and 90s. Not as good as real ny pizza, but it was good. The crust used to be delicious and crispy golden as if fried on the outside, soft and tasty inside. The cheese was much better quality than now. People who are too young to remember how pizza hut pizza used to be would be pissed off at how terrible it has become if they could taste the difference. Now, the crust is flavorless bread soft all over, and the flavors they add if you ask are pathetic. Cheap crappy cheese and sauce. It doesn't even taste like it's from the same place. Pizza hut pizza is a shadow of its former self.

Yeah, in the same way Wonder bread used to be good, and Maxwell House coffee used to be good --when people didn't know any better.

But, no, it was never really good. It was always trashy Americanized garbage.

I remember the Pizza Hut "pan pizza" being good, in the 1990s. I remember the crust being really nicely browned and crispy. No, it wasn't authentic, but I do remember it being very tasty. I always stuck with pepperoni or cheese. I heard that they put oil in the pan before dropping in the dough (hence the crispy, brown crust).

Pizza Hut is so much better in London. Regarding "Deep Dish", here in Chicago, Pequod's is better than both Uno's and Lou Malnatti's, as R21 recommends. Second down the list I would argue is Gino's East, followed by Giordano's.

Gino's East makes small (ish) frozen Deep Dish personal pizzas that are really good, and often on sale for $5.99. Depending where you reside OP, perhaps look for one of these.

by Anonymousreply 70October 9, 2019 7:31 PM

Lou Malnatti's sausage has always tasted a bit off to me. Better to get Pepperoni or just cheese IMHO.

by Anonymousreply 72October 9, 2019 7:38 PM

R72 Yes, I have seen it, but probably only in Chicago, like many other local items, i.e. Vienna Hot Dogs, Turano French Rolls, Buona Beef, etc. Aldi does this with many popularly local items in several different markets.

Italian beef! Let's talk about Italian beef!

by Anonymousreply 74October 10, 2019 3:13 AM

Lou Malnatti's puts butter in the crust - I never could develop a taste for that kind of crust but it's their signature. Also, they sprinkle too much dried basil /oregano / pepper on top. You can ask for it without this but still - I never liked Lou Malnatis deep dish. Thin was fine.

Pequods is ok if you truly like the "Caramelized crust" thing. I think it's too bready.

I forgot what Unos tasted like. It's been a while.

Giordanos is the pizza that can give me an orgasm and put me into a blissful 8 hour sleep shortly thereafter... especially the vegetable stuffed one. Eduardo's was another one in that category.

We had a pizzeria Uno here years ago. I tried it once and was not impressed. It didn't last all that long. We have some really good pizza here but most are thin or medium crust.

I tried frozen Gino's East one. The crust tasted like cardboard.
