Here's a secret, though: It's hard to go wrong walking into any hole-in-the-wall with a Vienna Beef sign hanging out front. Then you've got Al's Beef, which has locations all around the city, Jay's Beef in Wicker Park (try the grilled chicken sammy for a change of pace), and the Southside classic Tony's Italian Beef. Portillo's has to be mentioned as an option, and it's a good one, although definitely not the cheapest. Now this sandwich is a Chicago staple we actually eat on the regular, and any place that sells one also cooks up a mean Chicago Dog. Oh and Piece Pizza in Wicker is pretty tasty, too. The white pizza is the stuff of legends, and their garlic knots have been known to trigger orgasms. If you're still not down with deep dish, try the floppy thin crust at Jimmy's Pizza Cafe in Lincoln Square. Lou's is legit, though, as is the pizza pot pie at the Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Co. We can already hear all the Lou Malnati's fanboys calling for our execution, but we stand by the assessment. By far the best in town is at Pequods in Lincoln Park, where the added touch of caramelized cheese on the crust sets it far above the rest. No one is complaining.īut not all deep dish is created equal. Yes, one slice is enough to keep you full and farty for days, but it's still a cheese-filled pie. Deep dish is king in Chicago, and it's delicious, OK? Chicago locals rarely eat it unless we're entertaining curious guests, but we still like it because it's a fucking cheese-filled pie.
