Numero Uno Deep Dish (9" Small)
Adrienne A.

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!

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.

Personal-size of The Original Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza at Pizzeria Due! Served "Uno per Due" (if you like my play on words...)
Rich S.

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. Get your tasty original historic deep-dish pizza here!

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

Numero Uno Deep Dish (6" Individual)

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.

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

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.

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! Now this isn't your typical fast food pizza so it will take time for your food to be cooked but IT'S WORTH THE WAIT!!!!

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!

Super delicious pizza! The service was good. It took a while for the pizza to come but we were told ahead of time how long it would take. It's like a small mom & pop vibe. I would recommend for a more chill atmosphere.

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.

Cheesy Italian beef yummy
Regena K.

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!

Food was so late
Barbie B.

I recently visited this restaurant and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. On top of that, my order arrived quite late. I wouldn't recommend this place based on my experience.

The restaurant is not busy at all. We were seated right away. Our server was nice and attentive. We ordered pizza and pasta.

If you have seen any of my other reviews, I always get a meatball when I'm at a place that has them. They almost never live up to my expectation. But this place has the new gold standard for a meatball. It was everything you want. It is fork tender, full of flavor, no chewy ground up bits. The pizzas were authentic and thin. With fabulous house made red sauce that wasn't too thick and overwhelming. The flavor was A+ The cocktails were so good! All made from scratch with love. The ambiance was cozy and comfortable. Perfect for a group or a date. They have a full bar, and also great seating with perfect lighting. This is a new favorite for me in the city.

The ambiance is nice with the restaurant not too dark but still has moody lighting. The entire time we sat down there was a huge group of people waiting for a table, so definitely make a reservation!

Caesar salad was interesting, it has chopped celery inside which I didn't realize until I started eating. I don't like celery but my sis does and she liked it in the salad. Pappardelle alla porcellino and chicken vesuvio were AMAZING. Pasta was fresh and the chicken was so decadent. Both mocktails I were delish. The tiramisu was SO GOOD.

I came here for a business dinner with about 6 others. The only frustrating part of our experience was we made a reservation online weeks in advance and when we arrived we were told that they basically overbooked every night and when you reserve a seat you're just saying you're coming. So we showed up and were told we were going to wait an hour. It sounds like they are super busy, but there are better ways to ensure the restaurant is selling every available seat rather than offering basically fake reservations that don't mean anything when you get there. Someone in our group complained enough about it that they sat us and did honor the reservation which we appreciated - given that it was a business dinner though, I think it was awkward we had to do that. It just was a LOT of work to organize multiple out of towners getting together and to show up and potentially wait an hour would have been so inconvenient. They really should fix this problem. The reservation issue aside the experience was great. The service is just sort of meh I didn't feel like they were above or beyond and didn't note anything exceptional there. But the food..... the food is the main event for sure. Everything I tried I loved. I had just had Italian the day before so I didn't want anything that felt "too Italian" (lasagna, pasta, pizza, etc) so I got the braised short rib over polenta which was a nice change of pace. It was amazing. Some of the best polenta I've ever had. I am already looking forward to the next time I can go back! The food here is outstanding. If you are able to go, I would highly recommend it.

The calamari was delicious, not too fried and oily but still had so much flavor to it. We also decided to order the peperoni pizza, which is just a magnificent pizza. It was just cooked perfectly with just the right amount of flavor and spice. I ordered the raviolacci toscani, which took a bit of time to come out (but understandable given the amount of people). It was just delicious. The meat filling had such a deep flavor and the sauce wasn't so heavy that I didn't want to finish it. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a good Italian meal with great portions. Reservations might be hard to get so plan ahead.

The fusilloni was definitely my favorite from the noodle shape to the sausage and cheese. The ricotta dumplings were suuuuuper cheesy which I really liked (though I could see why others wouldn't) and had a melt in your mouth softness.

Had to use the menu to fan ourselves, other patrons were doing it as well. The fritto misto was ok, the breading tasted like it was old or had been sitting out. Not as crispy as we'd hope. To be honest felt like frozen calamari quality. The Alla Vita chopped was pretty standard, kinda reminded me of Olive Garden salad lol. The stars of the meal were the tagliatelle and cappelletti pasta. Both were super flavorful and pasta cooked well. The bone-in ribeye was a little on the sweeter side, definitely lacked a crust and salt. I'd pass on the steak IMO. Our biggest qualm was the timing of the dishes coming out. The pasta came out 30-35 minutes after the appetizer and salad which is fine, but the steak coming out 15 minutes after the pasta kinda ruined it. We'd love to eat the entrees (steak and pasta) together, and not finish our pasta first or let it go cold then eat steak alone.. ya know? We had ordered crispy potatoes but cancelled due to the wait. Ended the night with mango passion fruit sorbet with a prosecco float. Big mistake on the prosecco float haha it was so tarte and bitter, would def recommend trying the sorbet alone! Overall, glad we finally got to try this place. Focus more on the pastas and skip the steak. Very beautiful inside.
