We want the best deep dish Chicago Pizza

We have two full days in Chicago before a conference. We will be staying at the Homewood Suites near the Navy Pier. Please suggest your favorite place for Deep Dish Chicago Pizza--within walking distance of that area.
A yummy thanks!

We have never had http://www.giordanos.com/
and are frequent visitors to Chicago. We have always been UNO/DUO fams. But the next time we are in Chicago, we will do Giordanos, because the folks on this site seem to favor it.

I will second Giordano's. The stuffed style is about 2" thick, a small is good for two people.

I found Giordano's to be nothing special. While it's been a couple of years, I prefer the original Uno's. It is not at all like the franchise chains you might have tried. Anyway, just my not-so humble opinion.

Giordano's is good, but Bacino's on Wacker is very good as well.

as somebody who started eating chicago deep dish pizza in 1962, let me cast a vote for the original pizzeria uno. giordano's stuffed.double crust is something thought up in the 80's and is fine but not true to its heritage. I find Lou Malnati's crust too weak and his sauce too sweet. However, asking your question is like seeking the greatest among great. suggest you cab it to your choice-chicago near the lake is not fun walking until may or june due to weather.
