Pizzeria UNO
Pizzeria UNO Deep Dish Pizza started it all in 1943. Today they have two locations in downtown Chicago. The original location is known as Pizzeria UNO and the second location is now known as Pizzeria DUE. Both locations are serving authentic Chicago style deep dish pizza. My favorite from Pizzeria UNO is Veggie Deep Dish Pizza, but they also have many other options available for order on the menu.
