Pizzeria Uno · Chicago
The 1943 River North birthplace of Chicago deep-dish pizza.
Why we recommend Pizzeria Uno in Chicago
Pizzeria Uno is where Chicago deep dish began. It opened in December 1943 at Ohio and Wabash, when Ike Sewell and Ric Riccardo, with Rudy Malnati Sr. in the kitchen, put out a pizza that is widely credited as the birthplace of the Chicago deep-dish style. The original location still operates at the same corner today, and sister store Pizzeria Due opened a block away. If you want the origin story, this is the table.
What to expect in the room and on the menu
The space is a historic street-level and lower-level Victorian-mansion setting, casual and tourist-heavy, steeped in the deep-dish origin story. The signature is the original Chicago deep dish, the Numero Uno: sausage, onions, peppers and mushrooms over the buttery cornmeal crust that started
