“ As an East Coaster, I have tried NY deep-dish pizza before, but it's all wrong there. This is what authentic Chicago deep-dish is supposed to taste like! The crust was perfect, and the flavors were incredible We tried the Pizzeria Uno Original and the Chicago Italian, and both were outstanding. The servers have some sass, but it's all part of the experience. I highly recommend getting an individual pizza for the perfect personal meal. ”
“ It wasn’t my first dip dish in Chicago, but this one was absolutely outstanding. They invented the thing so they definitely know how to prepare one. Was a bit skeptical at first after reading other people opinions, but wanted to try it myself. Chose the house special without green peppers as I’m not a big fan of them and it was delicious. Definitely recommend ”
“ I had to start somewhere, and I'm glad it was at a staple to the city. PIZZERIA UNO is the original restaurant producer and creator of the deep dish pizza. That is, one of the most infamous food items in America started right here! This is a dive bar experience, but the deep dish pizza is a life changing experience. You can't find anything like this anywhere else! Thick red sauces, flavorful garlic bread, heavy cheeses, and red pepper flakes...this is it! The ultimate pizza experience in a mid-western city. The bread is everything...end of discussion. Decent wine list, amazing experience. ”
“ Had the deep Numero Uno dish pizza! I’d give it about a 6/10 – could’ve been cooked a little longer for my taste. That said, our server was super nice and very observant, which made the experience enjoyable. The environment was inviting and fun, and there was no wait, which was a huge plus. Overall, I’d definitely recommend giving it a try! ”
“ Cooking class Saturday morning to learn about Uno's and how to make their deep dish pizza including dough and sauce recipe. Lupi was a great instuctor. She has a long history working at the restaurant, shared personal stories, gave clear directions with a cute accent that made you feel like mama was running the course. Ten of us enjoyed each others company for the 2+ hour cooking class. Worth the price with a generous, well deserved tip. ”
