best pizza/airport hotel in Chicago
 

Need name or names of awesome pizza restaurants in Chicago. Also, hotels near the airport. Any park and fly options would be appreciated. Thanks!!

If you search here on Chicago AND pizza, you will find a ton of previous threads debating the best pizza. My favorites are Lou Malnati's and Giordanos. Both have locations in the city and suburbs.

Giordano's and Gino's East...for the latter the Gold Coast location is a fun experience for tourists...everything's covered in graffiti.

Gino's East is so overrated. Really, it's just a tourist trap. If you want an awesome, authentic pizza that the locals also enjoy you have to go to Giordanos. Here's the address for a location by the airport (I'm assuming you mean O'hare)

ROSEMONT
(847)292-2600
9415 W. HIGGINS RD.

There's also one across the street from Midway at 63rd and Cicero. You can go to giordanos.com for a full list of locations.

I'm a southsider, so I'm not familiar with O'Hare hotels. If you're flying into midway, though, check out midwayhotelcenter.com

The have a large selection of new hotels in all price ranges and types on a campus a mile from Midway.

Oh, as for parking, if it's O'hare check out avistar.com. I use them when I fly out of O'hare. They alway have coupons for promotions like get one day free.

For Midway, theres a private lot on the south side of 59th St., across the street from the CTA station, just east of Cicero. I believe it's $9 a day now.

Here is a park and fly option with a Malnatis pizza just down the street. Try the Midway Hotel (aka Midway Motor Lodge)in Elk Grove Village. They have airport transportation. Also in that neighborhood is a Holiday Inn and I believe a LaQuinta. I believe that is the original Malnati's on Higgins road in Elk Grove.

Some of the closer hotels may also offer park and fly options...or are so big they will never know the difference..Try the Ramada Inn on Mannheim in Rosemont.

Long term parking these days at O'Hare is around $15 per day at the remote lots.

On our last trip to Chicago we scheduled one meal for Chicago Pizza. We ended up at Giordanos, our first time, and found the pizza so awesome (I hate that word, so I don't use it lightly) that we went back the next evening for another pie....
