Pizzaria Uno/Due
 

My family is going to Chicago Easter/Passover weekend 2003. <BR>Trying to convince the grandparents to not keep Kosher for passover and dive in and have a Chicago deep dish pizza. <BR>We have been to Uno's in Kendall, Fort Lauderdale (both closed), Orlando, Baltimore, Burlington, Charlotte and Madison. We are huge fans! <BR>Is the menu pretty much the same as pizzaria uno/due. Is there a difference between the two? How close are they to each other? When is the bst time to go on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday?

We've been to both and they are within eyesight of one another. Sorry, do not know when the best day to go. I have heard that Uno is the original.

There is no comparison between Uno/Due and the Uno's franchises throughout the country. My friend in the area favors Due (although others swear by Uno) so that's the one i've been to (twice).<BR><BR>After eating at Due, i've returned to the local franchise seeking the taste i experienced in Chicago, and they're not even in the same league, let alone ballpark! It has a taste you can't get anywhere but Chicago.

You may want to try Giordano's or Gino's West.

I second Giordano's.

Go to either Uno's or Due's (they're located one block apart). No comparison at all with the chain Uno's.

While I've not been to Due, I agree with the poster above that Uno's of Chicago is nothing like the franchise joints. Don't get me wrong, I think the franchises are ok, they just do not compare to the original. However, be prepared that at the original, it has very little in common with the franchise joints. PS: I was recently in Chicago and on the advice of others ate at Giordano's. Again, the pizza was ok but not as good as the original Uno's in my opinion. However, if you like the franchise Uno's you might prefer Giordano's because it's a complete ripoff/replica of a franchise Uno's.

Thanks for everyone's input! <BR>Is the menu the same?<BR>We love the four cheese and tomato pizza and the pizza skins! <BR>This is what would probably be ordered----<BR>Is the menu the same at UNO and DUE? <BR>thanks<BR>

The menus are not the same, but...<BR><BR>will you be able to get the 4 Cheese pizza w/ tomato... YES<BR><BR>will you be able to get skins... probably not<BR><BR><BR>It's a good thing you already know what you want, because when you give your name to the host/hostess, they also take your pizza order!<BR><BR>If you like the chain, you MUST try Uno or Due.

This may all be a moot point.<BR><BR>If your grandparents usually observe Passover, I don't you will convince them to not observe so you can have pizza....sorry.

They can observe passover if they wan't<BR>I am still gonna eat pizza---they said they'd have salad---(I am sure a slice or two will be snuck (is that proper English?)

Go to Gulliver's in Evanston

For anyone visiting Chicago, I always recommend having deep dish pizza at Lou Malnati's on Wells. Absolutley the best pizza in the city!

Does anyone know where on the web I could find a menu for UNO'S/DUE'S ---I only seem to find the chain menus.
