I used to eat pieology pizza frequently but haven’t had it for a while now, I have always wanted to try blaze pizza but haven’t gotten the opportunity.

I'm sure you will like it. I like Tony's a lot more than the deep dish I had when I was actually in Chicago.


True Chicago pizza and "Chicago-style" pizza are two completely different things. It's actually not the deep dish that characterizes it. It's the fact that it is much more of a pie than it is what most people associate as pizza.


Tony's really does seem like pie, I'd say. It's so thick and rich and, as I said, a single slice is an entire meal. A large pizza is rather heavy (in weight) from there. It's delicious, seriously. The owner was born in Sicily. I'll link their website below; feel free to check out the "Press" link near the top for reviews.

Omar, when I was in Chicago I had Lou Malnati's, which I understand is a chain there. Could be that their mom & pop chains are a lot better.

What about the fast-pizza trend, like Blaze, Pieology, or Pizza Press? (There's a Pizza Press across the street from Disneyland.) Those are pretty good, and better than the thread options, I think.


I like Lou’s, but I have to admit when I’m craving a Chicago deep dish, it’s Giordano’s stuffed crust.

Yep. Giordano's is straight up Chicago pizza. Thick, heavy, tomato sauce on top. Gino's East is good stuff too. Going to the Magnificent Mile location is a must do experience. No reservations and you literally stand in line until there's a table (none of that "here's your pager" stuff), but they let you go to the bar and buy drinks to have while you wait out on the sidewalk.

I saw a review on TV for Tony's a few years back (I think it was Burro's Bites) and checked it out on Yelp.

I'm not entirely sure I would like Deep Dish Chicago style pizza, and since it is about 30+ minutes away, takes a long, long time to get your order and is EXPENSIVE, I decided to forego trying it...

I don’t remember when I last ate at any of those pizza joints. There are some good local options or more often I just make my own.

Yeah, love the crust at Geno's East.
