Yes, actual pizza is only made right in the Metropolitan area. No idea why that is. Guess you just have to get a variation of it, like Chicago style or go to gigios.

You might like Gigios. It's a big ass slice you have to fold, perfect combo of cheese sauce and crispy/pliable crust. sometimes i get pepperoni.

no man. I mean it sits at another table in the middle; literally most of the pizzas sit there. And you have to wait til waitress comes back to grab you a slice.
Pizzas a few feet away, but the unspoken rule is the waitress needs to come back and serve you another slice. It's kinda fuked up

My favorite teams
One of the first pizza places in Chicago was called Sparga at about 5700 W. Diversey. When they began they made Pizza without cheese that was back in the 40s. Eventually you could get their pizza with cheese. We would order one each way. Here is the only picture I could find

The answer is Pequod's Pizza. Best deep dish in the city. Anytime a friend comes in from out of town, Pequod's is automatic and usually end up going 2x.

State line pizza in northwest Indiana bordering calumet city Illinois will always hold the biggest place in my heart. Second on the list is Beggers.

My personal favorite is(was) Danny's in Garfield Ridge. They sold to new owners a few months ago. You couldn't beat the pizza for the price, and maybe that's why they went under. Just a high quality pizza made right, and sold for far under what it was worth(maybe why they went under?)
I've lived allover the area, and have never found a real replacement.

i think when outsiders think Chicago pizza, the first places that come to mind are Giordano's and Lou Malnati's....
overrated?

If you like them, you like them. No problem there. But yes, over-rated. To really appreciate Chicago Pizza, you need to dig, check out dives and hole in the walls. The best pizza places get no fame, just loyal customers that ad and PR dollars can't buy. Once you dig deeper, you'll scratch your head to why these bigger names are even considered in the top 10.
