Pizzeria Uno

The atmosphere was cozy with many people in a small restaurant and I wouldn't recommend a booth if you have long legs or just aren't a smallish person. There is a bar and a TV with the football game showing, but it really wasn't that distracting. The waitresses were very friendly and the drinks were cold.

This pizza was wonderful! I had never tried Chicago pizza before, but it was worth the 40 minute wait at the restaurant. I cannot educatedly say that this is the best Chicago pizza you'll ever find because this was the first Chicago pizza I ever tried, but, I would definitely recommend it, and when we asked the native Chicago citizens at the aquarium they told us this was the only place to go for good Chicago pizza.

Always the best for pizza. Deep-dish pies can take 45 minutes to prepare, so call your order in ahead if you're in a hurry.

The room service attendant recommended this place and we were glad we went there. We arrived on Monday afternoon around 5pm. The hostess told us it would be an hour for the pizza to be ready. We ordered and then sat for drinks. We were fortunate; we did not have to wait for a table and got one by the window. We had a pitcher of Bud Light and split a Caesar salad, then got a spinach cheese Chicago deep-dish pizza. $38.42 including tip, and we thought this was quite enjoyable.

Too bad they don't accept reservations. During lunchtime, put your name on the waiting list before you get hungry. Then you should leave, shop, and come back an hour later ready to eat. A small pizza is more than enough for two very hungry people. I didn't believe them, but it's true. This was the first deep-dish pizza place my husband and I tried. I absolutely loved it and he didn't. I'm actually thinking of getting it flown to me here in Tennessee. Now, I almost had a heart attack when I found their pizza at Walmart, but to my dismay, it wasn't the pizza I fell in love with. If you've tried the chain or their deli pizza in Walmart, it's not even close to the same. You need to try it in Chicago. I will be honest, we tried the deep-dish at another restaurant and it was just as good. Maybe it's just the deep-dish that I love so much. I would still recommend eating in this classic restaurant. In fact, try to eat outside on the patio, get a beer, and people-watch. This should be your first meal in Chicago. A great way to break yourself in!

From journal Chicago - I Should Just Move There

Pizzeria Uno

Chicago is known for deep-dish pizza, and Pizzeria Uno is one of the best. This is the original, not a franchise. It is located close to Michigan Avenue, perfect after shopping or before a sports event or night out. It is small, so if you have to wait long, walk a block to its sister pizza restaurant, Pizzeria Due. Pizzas take 45 minutes to cook, so be prepared to wait--but it is well worth it. You just can't get pizza like this other than in Chicago. Even if you have a local franchise near you, you will be pleasantly surprised by the original.
