Frommer's Review
Pizzeria Uno invented Chicago-style pizza, and many deep-dish aficionados still refuse to accept any imitations. Uno's is now a chain of restaurants throughout the country, but this location is the original. You can eat in the restaurant itself on the basement level or, weather permitting, on the outdoor patio right off the sidewalk. Salads, sandwiches, and a house minestrone are also available, but let's be honest -- the only reason to come here is for the pizza. As with Gino's East , pizzas take about 45 minutes to make, so if you're starving, order an appetizer or salad.
Uno was so successful that the owners opened Pizzeria Due in a lovely gray-brick Victorian town house nearby at 619 N. Wabash Ave., at Ontario Street (tel. 312/943-2400). The menu is exactly the same; the atmosphere just a tad nicer (with more outdoor seating).
