Famous Pizza

Most American cities have culinary reputations that precede them. New Orleans is known for its Cajun food, Kansas City for its barbeque, and Baltimore for its crab cakes. But few American cities have taken a national classic, and owned it as well as Chicago has with its deep-dish pizza.

When you think about pizza, Chicago’s deep-dish is probably pretty high – if not at the top – of your to-eat list.  The next time you find yourself in the Windy City, sampling the famous pizza is an absolute must! So, where should you go to get the best and most authentic deep-dish experience? Although it’s often imitated throughout the city, a couple restaurants take the cake when it comes to the pizza pie.

Giordano’s Famous Stuffed Pizza, located in the heart of downtown on 223 West Jackson Boulevard has rave reviews from former and current customers. The pizzeria is a staple in the area, and boasts a four-star rating online. Their menu features more than just pizza, for those pickiest of eaters, and their location makes Giordano’s the perfect mid-day meal.

Another fantastic option when it comes to Chicago-style pizza is The Godfather’s Famous Pizza located on 1265 West Wilson Avenue. Along with Giordano’s, The Godfather is consistently rated one of the best pizzerias in the Chicago area. It’s conveniently located just a few blocks from Wrigley Field, so it works great with a tourist’s itinerary.

There are hundreds of reasons to make Chicago your next destination, and Giordano’s and The Godfather are just two more to add to your list. But hey, why limit yourself? Try as many pizzerias as you want on your vacation and YOU decide which is best!
