In recent months, I’ve had to live the Chicago lifestyle more than I care.
But, meals have been fun.
Many evenings have led to the Pizza wars.
With fellow employees from the East coast to the West coast, I’ve heard a lot of arguments from the best or original pizza to the correct way to hold a slice of pizza.
From Chicago, we tapped into Lou Malnati’s, Pizzeria Uno, Gino’s East, Giordanos, Vito’s and Pequods!
No doubt some awesome pizza!
Of course most of these are the pizza pies.
Curious, if you’ve been to these, any favorites?
If you’ve not been to Chicago, still…got a local favorite or one of the best from your travels?

Went to Gino's on a 4-H trip back in 2019. The deep dish pizza was awesome!

HCG, have you ever been to brozinis? On NW corner of Emerson and county line. We get a grandma's style meats pizza and it's great. They are quite proud of it too.

Tony's place in Valparaiso was the best unfortunately last year they closed their doors after 68 years of doing business.
Now the best pizzas I know of are made by my wife.

Chicago Pizza. Hands down these are my two standards. Deep Dish - Giordanos. Thin crust - Palermo's of 63rd Pizza and Restaurant.
If there is anything comparable in this area, I haven't found it.

Grandson lives in ChiTown so I asked him. He said
“Oh yeah! Chicago is most known for deep dish, and the best is Pequods and Pizanos.
The *real* Chicago style is Tavern Style - crispy thin crust, cut in squares. The best tavern style is Phil’s and Aurelio’s. ”

Both are on the South Side, but in the city proper. |

I like all the different pizzas. But I still say Aurelio's is one of my favorites. I just stopped and had some quality time in LaPorte with my parents. At 85 years old, I cherish the time and fellowship!  |
