Lou Malnati's
One of the best in Chicago. Check it! ----->10 Best Pizzerias in Chicago, IL<-----
I think we made a pretty good choice with our pizza. We were also considering two other pizzeria's on this list so we did great!
My opinion: The BEST pizza that I have ever had by far! Nothing here in California compares to this perfect deep dish pie that I consumed while in the Windy City. I looked online and saw that they do, in fact, deliver their pizzas throughout the US, so I'm hoping to order a pie or two sometime soon! Here is the website for more info: ----->Lou Malnati's
The Lou
Traditional Style Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. Perfect.
A Lou slice.
Goodness on that plate.
I took my leftovers back to California!
At the Chicago O'Hare Airport. I wish I had the time before the flight to stop by and order something to try off the menu but unfortunately didn't.
That concludes my mini-trip. Chicago, my first home, is an amazing city and offers a very good blend of different cuisines, as well as a wide mix of culture and city life.
