The pizza was excellent!! The garlic bread with cheese was ok. I would probably try something different as an app for next time. The service was decent. We got to sit outside and people watch which was wonderful. I enjoyed my experience for sure! read more

Had to, right? No. Don't have to actually. The deep dish was just all bread. Topping had great flavor but then you're just filling up on carbs. The regular crust was so much better. They deep dish was said to require 45 minutes and the regular was 20 minutes. I think I waited over an hour for deep dish and over 30 minutes for the regular. It wasn't even busy. I think the service was just slow. After talking to some locals they shared with me that they do not get the deep dish, that's just something they tell tourists. So.... read more

I'd had Uno, but this was my first stop into Due. Big fan of both. Our server was super friendly, we really enjoyed her. The food was amazing, as well. We opted for a pair of individual sized instead of full pizza (server recco), but in hindsight I'd have gone for the bigger pizza instead. Having said that, her recommendation for the cheesy pesto one ended up being spot on and was a favorite, so it all worked out. Will for sure drop in again when I'm visiting. read more

Pizzeria Due - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Pizza is pretty good as a deep dish with cheese under the sauce . . It was a little too saucey for me . . Very clean and quick service !!!

Pizzeria Due is "The" original Chicago Deep Dish pizza! Ok, well, they opened first in 1943 down the block at Pizzeria Uno :-) They expanded with Due in 1955. Same difference. We stopped into this old Victorian for a weekend lunch (May 2026), and had our pizza in the style of an old Italian meal, the same dish prepared for the two of us: Uno per Due! Deep, buttery crust, luscious chunky sauce with savory lightly-spiced sausage ... with the cheese in between the crust and the sauce! Back in the day, it was my first deep-dish pizza, and it's still the one I judge them by. Uno's does ok in their franchises, but the original restaurants are the best. Nevermind exactly whoever among the original Uno"s staff actually invented this not-south Italy not-thin-NY-pizza. There's some controversy (and marketing) there. But it was the first, and the founders of both Gino's East and Lou Malnati's (supposedly) worked at Uno's before starting their own! This is Great pizza in a City of Great pizza.

(Kari's Rating 6/10) TLDR: -40ish mins for deep dish -Wouldn't come out of my way to come here -Servers attentive Came in with a friend around 5:30pm on a Thursday and there was barely a wait. We got seated in a high top by the bar and our orders were taken relatively quickly. We were given a heads up that the deep dish pizzas took about 30 to 45 minutes to make which we were more than willing to wait for. We got a cheesy garlic bread appetizer, a chocolatey milkshake for a drink, and then a small deep dish pizza to share. There were more than enough leftovers and the pizza was done really well, it seemed like a very good ratio of cheese to crust. I think overall, it was a pretty delicious meal, there wasn't anything really special about the pizza personally, we did get a sausage and pepperoni pizza and it was good, but I probably wouldn't come back just for that. Our server, Carmen was very attentive and very sweet and on top of things, she asked about our meal a few times and was very prompt with the check. I'm definitely more of a Lou's girl-but I've been meaning to try this place for a minute and I'm glad I came! read more

Ordered takeout for this place. I haven't been here in many years and was in the area. Ordered the Special Salad Bowl with Italian chopped salad, giardinera, pepperoni, mozzarella chunks, tomatoes and had lot of onions. Was a nice full portion but they didn't provide the dressing so had a very dry salad. Ordered also the Windy City Works pizza with onions, peppers, mushrooms, bacon, burger meat, pepperoni, sausage, 3 cheese - mozzarella, cheddar, pecorino. The pizza was a salt bomb and almost inedible. This place has a lot of nostalgic memories for me and honestly, it should've remained a memory. I wanted to like this place as much as I did years ago but there are much better places for pizza nowadays. read more

This was our first stop after checking into our hotel in Chicago, we figured we might as well start off with deep dish right off the bat and they were still open, since we got in fairly late in the evening. Our waiter was great, loved overhearing some of the other older guys work there talking in their thick Chicago accents hahaha. All the food was delicious, I tried a local beer (Begyle Boat Shoes - closest thing I could get that was local while also being lager-like), salad was great and the pizza (honestly, CAKE lol) was so good! We both only ate one slice and ate the rest later it had a very local pub feel which was great, definitely recommend! read more

They're slam packed, but still smiled and greeted and seated me. I got an adult drink. (Not the heaviest pour, but that's okay) My pizza is delicious... it's the perfect thin crust, not burnt (I hate burnt crust). You can faintly taste the fresh tomatoes they used in the sauce, the individual cheeses, separate , and then together... and then the sausage kicks in. I'm not a huge fan of the sausage... I should've got just cheese I'd be back. The service was great read more

I used to work at one of UNO's locations and I was fully expecting DUE to be right on par. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to that level. Started with the Chicago Mule and Blueberry Mule. Both were very nice and well-balanced. For dinner, we got the Numero Uno and The Chicagoan. My guy has never had deep dish pizza before and he really enjoyed both pizzas, but preferred numero uno. The Chicagoan was my favorite of the two. I loved a good giardiniera! I was disappointed with how flakey the crust was. The pizza would just fall apart with every bite making it really hard to eat. Just overall average in terms of flavor. Service was great, though, so they're winning on that front. Someone was taking photos so we got ours taken. They used the worst one as the complimentary photo, but we liked the animated one they made of us. $20 was a bit much for it tho. read more

I wanted to really like this pizza but the lack of flavor and overall texture/crust leaves me no choice but to give it an okay rating. I ordered the deep dish specialty spinach pizza. It takes time to make a good pizza but this lacked what I consider good pizza traits. The sauce was bland. I definitely had to use the red pepper flakes to help give it some flavor. It seems like they forgot to Season/spice this sauce? The crust really doesn't hold up to the toppings. I've had other Chicago style deep dish pizza that I've enjoyed. The chianti wine I had was good. It was a Ruffino from Italy. I did take the extra two pieces with me, but I'm not sure I'll eat them. read more

Grew up in the Chicago suburbs and always make a point to have a pie at Pizzeria Due when visiting the city. Was extremely disappointed with the pizza we had Saturday night. Something has changed with their crust. It's more like a pastry crust than a pizza crust. Service was horrible and it wasn't busy for a Saturday night. I will not go back! read more

Another great meal. We were in town visiting family for Thanksgiving. Had to some downtown to get our fix on the best deep dish. We always park at the garage by Unos. But we did come on Black Friday and UNOs was packed. So we went to Dues and there was no wait. We got the medium for 4 adults. We got pepperoni with sausage and half mushrooms. Such a classic! Always a good time at UNOs or Dues. This was my husband's first time at Dues. We had a great time and the servers are amazing as always. Just know the bathrooms are tight for ladies in the stalls. My dad and I had Cruz Blanca Mexican lager so yummy! And we had to do another! Prefect starting spot to do some Black Friday shopping read more

Staff had no idea how to communicate with walk ins vs reservations, ended up walking out, staff were not knowledgeable.

This review is for a corporate event. We did a pizza making class, which was pretty affordable - $55 PP for a personal pie, one beer/wine, soda, and salad. The pizza making was rather simple - all you do is stretch the dough out to cover a pan then fill it with topping. So the interactive part is probably like ... 5 minutes TBH. I wish it was a bit more interactive - maybe show how to make the dough? The pizza turned out like a solid chicago pizza. Service was friendly. read more

This was my first attempt at Chicago Deep Dish and what better place to try it at than the creator's restaurant! The pizza was perfectly cooked and served at the optimal temperature. The atmosphere was very inviting and our server was extremely attentive. I would recommend many times over!

Came by at 11am for a slice. Was met by friendly staff. Was pretty empty since it was the start of the day. There's plenty of seating options. Some outside. Some on top and some they call down stairs but really it's all on the same plane. Food came out quick. It was a cheese deep dish and it's always encouraged to call ahead. The cheese on it was delicious. It was the right texture and consistency. Gooey but not overpowering. I can only imagine what the supreme deep dish or others would taste like! I asked the staff the story behind the place and they also gave me a quick lesson. Happy I came! read more

What can I say great pizza and I went out on a limb this day for something different near the office. So I wondered how's the beef at Due. So happy I did, among walking in to pick up my order the server knew who I was by name and took care of me. The beef: OMG SOOOOO MUCH flavor with the sweet peppers and yes I always have cheese at pizza places cause they use the best and place in pizza oven! Hot peppers and au jus on side...DELICIOUS!! Comes with a side salad! Try it! read more

Pizzeria Uno and Due are sister restaurants 1 block apart, supposedly the home of Chicago original deep dish pizza back in 1943. Great local classic ambiance and it's hard to beat the literal original pizza recipe. Even Lou Malnati himself used to work at Uno! Due is the less crowded sister location serving the same food as Uno so great place to avoid crowds. read more

I will keep this one brief. Service was horrible. Sorry, but I did not like the pizza at all. I don't like the cornmeal crust, it was solid as a rock the sauce was too bitter and the bottom crust was hard. The interior dining area is small and basement like. The restroom only has two stalls and again, very cramped. If you decide to dine here, I'd recommend eating outside. read more

Great food. We had a large deep dish pepperoni. It was worth the wait to cook it, but they seated us quickly with an OpenTable reservation.

I was excited to try deep dish in Chicago and it was... incredibly mediocre. The sauce was mediocre, the toppings didn't feel balanced, and the crust was too fatty without being flavourful. It wasn't necessarily bad, but I was disappointed for a meal I was excited for on my visit. The service was very friendly though, and the restaurant felt lively. read more

Pathetic experience. The place was severely understaffed -- dinner took over 2.5 hours! Our veggie pizza came out stone cold and so hard we couldn't even cut it. Other deep dish pizzas were just ok... no great shakes! Drinks were awful, and the cheesecake was just so-so. We were seated in an old, musty-smelling room they called the "Presidential Office," which was anything but inviting, with an inch of dust on the bookshelves . The spaghetti n meatballs came out lukewarm too... they got garlic bread for 2 tables but not the third. Bathroom stalls were soooooo tiny! To top it off, we saw rats running around outside. Definitely not coming back. read more

Ordered a small deep dish pizza and salad on a Monday night. They gave an ETA of 30min. We got the pizza and they forgot our salad. There wasn't an employee in sight or bell or anything. The salad took another 30min which made our pizza cold. Customer service is a$$. Let me put this nicely, there's like 6 Giordianos within a five mile radius but we chose to come here instead. The competition is definitely real, get it together.. Should've went there instead. Not to mention the salad looked sad, no dressing like the description said, and they didn't give us forks! At this point I'm hangry. read more

Deep Dish was amazing. Finally visited my wife's home town and this was one of our first stops. Really good.

This place was recommended but I didn't do any research ahead of time, which was my fault. Walked in and was told there was a 45 minute wait, which wasn't surprising for a Saturday with crowded streets at lunch time. Hostess was nice and patient with children. This business is brilliant because they took our order and phone number and said they'd let us know when our table was ready. We walked around outside for 40 minutes, came back in to check and they said it wasn't ready yet (no biggie) so we waited inside. Once they called our name we went to the table closest to the kitchen so it was very busy. A hustlin' and bustlin' server took our drink order, but the 2 waters were served as room temp tap water. I don't particularly care for a lot of ice in my drink but zero ice tap water was cringey. I would've complained or asked for ice but the next time we saw that server was when she delivered our bill (someone else brought our pizza and someone else brought the box we needed). Our pizzas came out in 5-10 minutes and I regretted getting 2 pizzas. For one, the price tag. But also, the lack of table space. My partner is large and their body touched the table while seated, which is no complaint of a 69 year old restaurant BUT the plates couldn't fit on the table with 2 pizzas so it was awkward to eat with a fork and knife and no room. Pizza was good but nothing to write home about. This isn't even a place that I would tell people to try once. 2 medium pizzas, a lemonade and a sprite came to a bill over $80 before tip, while only at the table for 20 minutes. The place was super busy and staff was nice but overall meh experience. Oh! Additionally, plus sized women may not fit in a bathroom stall. I felt like I had to almost straddle the toilet to be able to open/close the stall door. That was interesting... read more

I've been wanting to try the original UNO/DUE pizza spots ever since moving to Chicago, and I finally made it to Due for dinner last night! I walked in on a Sunday evening and easily snagged a seat at the bar. With about 10 seats, it felt spacious and comfortable for a solo diner like me. The ambiance is fantastic--classic old-school vibes with lots of nostalgic memorabilia that make it feel warm and cozy. To drink, I started with the Chicago Mule, which was so good I ended up ordering a second. I kicked off my meal with the individual Caesar salad. Let me tell you--it was huge for an individual portion! Honestly, it rivaled the main course in size and flavor. For my main, I ordered the 10-inch South Side Sausage thin-crust pizza. Though they mentioned it would take around 25 minutes (the deep dish can take up to 40 mins) it came out in less than 10 and was perfectly cooked. As someone who prefers tavern-style pizza over deep dish, this was right up my alley--absolutely delicious. If you plan on ordering your own pizza, definitely recommend going with any 10" tavern styles. The combination of everything I ordered made for the perfect Sunday night dinner at the bar. The bartender (I didn't catch her name) was excellent--super attentive and friendly. I'd definitely recommend stopping by Due for a casual, laid-back dinner with great food, drinks, and atmosphere. Next on my list: trying Uno and their Mexican restaurant, Su Casa, to complete the trifecta! read more

We came out to Pizzeria DUE on Wednesday right when they opened. We were seated right away, and had the best time. We each ordered a cocktail: My husband got a boulevardier that was absolutely spot on delicious. I ordered an espresso martini. It was good for what it was, but it wasn't a proper espresso martini...I don't know what it is about places particularly in the midwest, but "espresso martinis" tend to be more like white russians in martini glasses. It was tasty though, and I didn't mind it. Its been hard finding a good espresso martini since Ireland if I'm honest. We ordered a small deep dish pizza with sausage, mushrooms, and black olives, as we had dinner reservations, and didn't want to eat too much. This ended up being the absolutely perfect amount of food. As deep dish pizza takes a while to cook, and we were the only ones in the restaurant for a while, we had the opportunity to chat with some of the staff: Tom, our server, Conrad, the bartender, and Anthony, who I think was a manager, but I don't remember (it was a day full of drinking, sorry lol). They were all super cool, and took the time to really have a conversation which was nice. The pizza was exactly as I remember it being the last time I was here, 30 some odd years ago. Everything tasted so good!!! I couldn't be happier, especially since this was the first time Morgan had Chicago style deep dish pizza IN Chicago. As it was our anniversary, they brought us out a slice of the best cheesecake, too! Huge thanks to the staff for making our anniversary lunch such a great one!!!!! read more
