Best deep dish in Chicago?

DBC loves JAC

Does it exist??? The hubs and I are visiting for the weekend and we sure could use your recommendations! Thanks in advance. If it helps, we're staying in the loop, and a rail is nearby, so we can travel.

My personal favorites are Giordano's and Gino's East. They both have a few downtown locations. 

A lot of people are die-hard Lou Malnati's fans. It's also good, but it's just not my personal favorite. There's one downtown location (at 800 S. State). 

I would steer clear of Uno's. It's the original, so it attracts a lot of people, but I think the other three have outdone them. In fact, Lou worked for Uno's but then left to start his own.

+1 for Giordano's!

I love Giordano's, it was my first Chicago pizza. Then I had Gino's East and now I have to say it's the best! I am not a fan of Lou's....Like PP said, many people swear by it, but I am not one of them.

My vote is for Lou Malnati's but my husband is a big meat-lover and claims Gino's East is the best. We've tried them all and all recommendations are great to get your taste of "Chicago-style!"

Enjoy!

I'm all about the Lou's with butter crust!

Another vote for Lou Malnati's butter crust.  I like Due's too.

My vote goes to Malnati's and coming in second, Pizzeria Due. I'm not a fan of the egg dough like flavor/texture of Gino's crust and I think the quality of Giordano's isn't as good. They seem to get by because its more advertised and known more as a tourist trap.

i am going to have to say Giordano's but in saying that, not all locations are exactly the same.

Giordano's love it!

Pizzeria Due is my favorite touristy place and Burt's is by far the best in the world, but it's way out in the suburbs so if you come with a car, I would say it's worth the trip!

Incidentally do not get the hype about lou's.
