When people think of Chicago, they often think of deep-dish pizza: layers of toppings piled high and baked into a bucket of crust that customers need a knife and fork to dig into. The source of this often-imitated (and, some would say, never duplicated) style? Pizzeria Uno, which opened its doors in 1943 on 29 E. Ohio St. in Chicagos River North district, was the first to offer the deep-dish style of pizza that has been so closely associated with the Windy City. As its popularity swelled, owner Ike Sewell opened a second location (Pizzeria Due) one block from the original in 1955 and attracted even more customers.

It did come highly recommended. We went with friends who had been there in the past and loved it.

Pizza Papolis in Greektown is Uno style pizza. And it's every bit as good.
