now that i've been to chicago, i'd like to have a pizza shipped to my home in Maryland. i assume they ship them frozen somehow....
who does this, and who does the best job of it at a reasonable price?

looks like maybe i can try Lou Malnati's after all:

Giordanos does too...

1-800-Lou-to-go!

My parents used to bless me with this sweet pizza when I was a homesick college student

Giordanos is my favorite too. Only thing is, when its hard in your refrigerator next day, you realize its an entire wheel of cheese.

We have ordered Lou's, Gino's East and I think we did Giordano's shipped pies.

They were all good for that first bite....then you look around and suddenly you realize you're not in Chicago

Kal,
Sounds like when we ordered bagels from NYC...disappointing isn't it!

I did Giordanos and they were great! Well worth the price! My only complaint is that they do not ship meat pizzas but that was a couple of years ago so maybe things have changed.

sw,
Yep.

I remember only being able to drink Kona Brew Co Fire Rock Pale Ale in Hawaii.
A few years ago Bev Mo started to carry it. Bought some, took it home, got it ice cold and took a sip...
BAMM took me right back to the Sand Bar on Kauai...then I took my 2nd sip and boom...back at home cooking breakfast getting ready for work.

We have a Rosatti's of Chicago about a block away from our house so when we get a jones for deep dish....

i think i might have to try Lou's since i had Giordano's while i was there.

btw, Lou's DOES look like they ship meat pizzas.

When the Fed Ex guy shows up with your pizza do you tip him?

I can confirm that they do ship meat pizzas

Saps, didn't you hear FedEx had aquired UPS and the new company is now called FedUp?

saps...depends on how cute he is!
