Yes, that’s right, a bottom crust topped with cheese and any other toppings then topped with another crust that is then smothered with sauce.Īs you might be able to appreciate from the photos, this pizza was basically cheese and crust with a side of sauce. Giordano’s is know for it’s stuffed deep-dish pizzas. On our last day, we made it a point to eat lunch at Giordano’s before we left town. We were pretty sure that it couldn’t get much better than this. The thickness of the deep dish was ideal as it was just enough of that perfect crust without drying out the entire pizza. It was crispy on the outside, but perfectly chewy and not soggy on the inside. I almost want to describe it like a cookie. And the real magic in this slice was the crust. The cheese was abundant, but not overwhelming. The sauce on this pizza had big chunks of tomatoes and was a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness. I knew we were in for a treat as soon as this pizza landed on our table. Lou’s is known for their thick, chunky tomato sauce and “World Famous Buttercrust”. We agreed to order the same simple pepperoni pizza at both locations for a fair comparison.įirst up was Lou Malnati’s. My husband and I felt that if we tried one, we had to be fair and try the other one to compare.
If you ask most Chicago natives, they will tell you about a rivalry between two pizza joints: Lou Malnati’s and Giordano’s. Obviously Chicago is known for deep-dish pies oozing with sauce and cheese. Thanks for being my excuse sweet teeth! I did want to experience all that the city had to offer so that I could come home and share my food explorations with you! Each time I would tell my husband that we had to go get a cupcake from Magnolia, Sprinkles or Crumbs for research and because I had a duty to fulfill. The people were so friendly, the city so buzzing and beautiful, the shopping was colorful and exciting and the food was some of the best I have ever had.ĭid I mention that the food was exquisite? I feel like we really hit the city hard and settled some debates in our minds: best pizza, best cupcakes, a true love for mussels. My husband knows me well and I completely fell in love with this city. Since we both had a few days off, we decided to make a road trip of it and took off last Saturday for a few days of exploring a new city. A $50 donation can help provide 150 meals.I have lived in Minneapolis for 11 years now and even though Chicago is only about 400 miles away, somehow I had never made it there until last weekend!
