Lou Malnati's Pizzeria on the North Side serves true Chicago style deep dish pizzas, complete with a thin crust and wholesome toppings. The decor isn't very dressy, except sports paraphernalia and framed T-shirts on the walls. The extremely special tomato sauce used here is made from ripe plum tomatoes, that renders it a fine texture. Generous helping of sausages along with spinach, mushrooms, sliced tomatoes and a blend of mozzarella, Romano and cheddar cheeses is irresistible! Lou also serves appetizers, soups, salads and sandwiches. The staff is friendly and makes you feel right at home. If booze is up your alley, a full bar keeps you well serviced.
Pequod's Pizza is the ultimate name for pan pizza, a variation of the deep-dish pizza with an unusually thin crust. Prepared in special pans, these pizzas are regarded as some of the best served in Chicago, by critics, chefs and diners alike. Cooking in a pan caramelizes the pizza crust and makes it all the more crisp and enjoyable. It is hard to find pan pizzas of the quality offered at Pequod's Pizza anywhere else. Customize your delicious pizzas by choosing from a variety of cheese, herb, veggie and meat toppings, and order a scrumptious American appetizer to go along with it. Offerings like Italian beef sandwiches and seasonal desserts are also popular. The gourmet food and wallet-friendly prices of this restaurant are a major draw.
The Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company is a cozy cottage that has high ceilings, pine panels and booths; everything screams rustic, old-school Chicago. The dining area is always filled with couples or groups in search of restaurant's show stopper, the signature Pizza Pot Pie.

For dessert, try the Tortoni, it's a rich Italian frozen dessert flavored with rum, macaroons and almonds. If you loved the food, don't forget to take a couple of frozen pot pies on your way out.

Located on Sunnyside Avenue, Spacca Napoli Pizzeria defies the regional dominance of Chicago-style deep dish by serving up impeccably traditional Neapolitan pizzas. Jon Goldsmith, the pizzeria's founder, was inspired by a trip to Italy and afterward embarked on a fact-finding mission over several trips to pizza's birthplace, Naples. Goldsmith put his research to work, creating a restrained menu of traditional pizzas ranging from a simple Margherita to more nuanced ones like the Prosciutto e Rucola, a classic Italian blend of different types of cheese. With an impressive wine menu to match its delicious spread, Spacca is a delight for pizza lovers in Chicago.
