I'll be in Chicago this weekend. I've been to Lou Malnati's. Which is good, but I'm looking for less of a chain. Recommendations on Deep Dish Pizza in Chicago?

Most of them are similar and good. Pequod's is different and the best. Can't go wrong with a sausage pie from Pequod's.I'll be in Chicago this weekend. I've been to Lou Malnati's. Which is good, but I'm looking for less of a chain. Recommendations on Deep Dish Pizza in Chicago?
My Pi is 100 yards away from me. It's good but they only do takeout. I used to love the My Pi on Clark Street.Giordanos...Medici Hyde Park, My PI
I like the look of Pequod's. Definitely looks authentic. Going to attempt to have lunch there on Saturday. Followed by Yankees vs White Sox. I've been to Wrigley. Never to White Sox stadium... whatever it's called.Most of them are similar and good. Pequod's is different and the best. Can't go wrong with a sausage pie from Pequod's.
Years ago, when Uno branched out and opened a store in CT, I had one. Didn't care for it. But I thought, "Maybe it's better in Chicago". So at some point in the late 80s I had one from Lou's. Nope.

Just West of it.You live within something like 4 or 5 blocks of where my mother grew up depending on which direction you're in from My Pi. Small world.

So, with that info in hand, next time I'm in Chicago, would you suggest I try Pequod's and give deep dish another try at the risk of missing out on a good Mexican meal, or should I just bag it?
I’ve had Mexican all over the country and I think Chicago (best I’ve had) is better than what I’ve had in Arizona, Cali, TexasMexican, we do it as well or better than anyone in the country.
Detroit style > Chicago deep dish
Some of the best eating you can do is just pulling up a stool in one of the many small grocery stores around the city where they cook up some al pastor/barbacoa/lengua tacos for you or go to any of the birrierias.I’ve had Mexican all over the country and I think Chicago (best I’ve had) is better than what I’ve had in Arizona, Cali, Texas
There was actually a My Pi in Norwalk in the late 1970's -early 1980's.My Pi is 100 yards away from me. It's good but they only do takeout. I used to love the My Pi on Clark Street.
I have been talking their Detroit pie up for a year now. Glad you liked it.Big fan of Detroit style. We don’t have a ton of options for it in CT but I had it at Joey Garlic’s recently. Hits the spot!
Harold's Chicken Shack in Chicago.......best fried chicken ever........even though its take out with bullet proof windows and a circular window at the counter to protect the employeesCome on - forget the casserole and go for Lem’s BBQ.
