This is great deep dish pizza- a must to stop for. No reservations are made and expect a waiting line but worth the wait. A must to eat at when in Chicago.

Sorry, but as a native Chicagoan, I never go to or recommend Pizzaria Uno.
No matter how much Uno's corporate management begs to differ, the pizza is not the same as it was 20, 30 years ago. The recipe has changed and the quality has gone down - especialy the crust and freshness of many of the ingredients.
Uno's is a place for tourists who think that Chicagoans eat nothing but deep-disch pizza.
I'd put any local, neighborhood pizza place ahead of Uno's.
You want some suggestions? Try D'Agostino's, or Giordano's. And try an Chicago-style thin-crust pizza (square-cut!!).
A few more tips: sausage is the top ingredient in a Chicago pizza - and not the pre-cooked kind. No one in Chicago ever, ever calls it a pizza "pie" - it's just a "pizza", plain and simple - you want a "pie" then head on over to Baker's Square. If you walk into any place passing themselves off as a "Chicago pizzaria" yet offers ingredients like broccoli, tuna, bean sprouts, salmon, nuts, BBQ beef, "pork toppings" (instead of real Itlaian sausage), fruit or "New York-style" pizza, immediately leave - you're not in a real Chicago pizzaria.
Telling people to go to Pizzaria Uno for a "ral Chicago pizza" is like telling a tourist to Mexico City to eat at Taco Bell.

The native Chicagoans we had with us - pointed us here and all 10 in the party raved about it--and they are tough to please---still recommend it.

Goodness, I agree with the second gentleman, Uno's hardly represents Chicago pizza. If I hear one more time about Chicagoians preference for deep dish pizza I will hollar. Deep dish may have originated here, yes, but the majority of us just love regular pizza. BTW Unos has really gone down hill over the years, its a shame because they used to have a really great pizza!
