There is no better deep dish pizza in the world than here. It usually takes 45 minutes to cook your pizza, but this location will let you pre-order your pizza in advance so you don't have to wait so long. Generally, better tasting than their sister restaurant Uno's a block away. Get the deep dish sausage and don't order too much. 1-2 pieces generally fills the average human. Get the diced tomato sauce on the top of your pizza. Put the green and brown stuff sitting on the top of your table on top of your pizza generously. Enjoy! read more

Pizzeria Due - Deep dish Sunday. The chocolate chip cookie is delicious. - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I knew this place was something serious when I walked in and it was jam packed. I knew we were in the right place and this food was going to taste delicious. What stood out the most about this place was the flavor and texture of that crust. I was really impressive overall and the service was quick. read more

Absolutely fantastic food! My daughter and I were just there for lunch today. We didn't have to wait at all to be seated. Our server, Chris, was very pleasant and accommodating. My daughter and I shared a salad, and I'm glad we did, because there was more than enough for the two of us! We ordered the specialty deep dish Numero Uno pizza, a size medium. We probably could have gotten away with ordering a small, because we ended up taking home 4 slices. We substituted the mushrooms with spinach, and it was fantastic! The service was excellent. The restaurant was very clean. I don't have a single bad thing to say about our experience. It wasn't our first time there, and it definitely won't be our last. read more

Pizzeria Due - The Numero Uno deep dish pizza minus the mushrooms, added spinach. Yum! - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I'm not a big fan of deep dish so I ordered a regular thin crust cheese pizza. Something seemed really off with the consistency of the mozzarella cheese on the pizza, and by later that evening I was vomiting... In all fairness, there's no way of knowing if it was due to the pizza or not. My husband and the other people we were with did enjoy their deep dish pizzas. Probably would suggest not coming here if you don't like deep dish. read more

PS--I have to note that the Manager of Due , Sophia--she comped my meal and apologized profusely to me here on Yelp. 2 messages. That says something about a management style and a business model that I respect. In my years in restaurants, service was always drummed into me--and now that I've been out of the biz for quite some time --I've eaten all over the world and this fact remains true--if the food was excellent the dining experience is always diminished by poor service. But if the food was just good and the restaurant was warm and inviting-- I always return to that business. There's a confidence and a sense of relaxation when you believe in your product--it's infectious and customers are naturally drawn to it. Because of Sophia's vigilance here on Yelp--I will give Due another chance. read more

Decided to try this place for some pizza today and have to say I'm in love! Takes 45 minutes to make your pizza so leave time for that but sit at the bar with Roxanne! She's an amazing personality, fun to talk to, and makes an amazing old fashioned! Thanks so much to Roxanne and the crew to making my chicago pizza experience a 5 star! read more

Went here with some friends for some authentic deep dish and we were not disappointed! There were 4 of us who each ordered a different pizza and then we split them up so we could try them all. We got the supreme, bbq chicken, pesto, and a broccoli something or other. My favorites were the bbq chicken and the pesto. So good! We definitely got the Chicago pizza experience we wanted! read more

Pizzeria Due is a second property for Pizzeria Uno and they have the same menu. To get a table, get a menu and decide what you want, then tell the hostess. She will take your order, tell you how long your wait will be, take your cell number and when she calls you, your table will be ready and your pizza will be served possibly before for your drinks show up. This is my experience, at any rate, after one visit the week of July 4. The hostess was friendly. Our waitress couldn't keep up with her tables, but she was nice. One member of our group did not want pizza. We'd looked online and the menu indicated sandwiches and salads. When we arrived at the hostess station, she gave us a menu that listed only pizza. After a bit of discussion, we understood that they take your pizza order only and give you your wait time. When you're seated, assumably, you can order appetizers, salads, etc., but our pizza came out so fast, the one non-pizza eater (which astonishes me, really. Pizza is my favorite food.) just gave in an ate pizza. So to the experience: you're just one of hundreds of people to get pushed through their system. They are nice enough, but you are a person dropping money in their restaurant for a bite of their pizza. The women's bathroom was tiny and dirty. That's all I'm going to say about that. Sangria: they make theirs with something that tasted like cloves? No one like it. We should have sent it back, but, I drank it. Finally, the food! You know, it was good. I've had Chicago-style pizza at one other Chicago restaurant a few years ago and this one was different. It sets up like a pie. And the sausage, rather than cooked in crumbles, is cooked as a thin patty and laid atop the mozzarella. It's quite good and I enjoyed it. Hence, the 3 stars. I hope this helps you decide whether or not you want to eat your first Chicago pizza here...or not. I guess I would, but if they have take out - do that instead. read more

Windy City deep dish pizza .... Yum doesn't get much better than Pizzeria Due. Positively my favorite in this town. There is something about that true Chicago crust. Just like No Other!!! Their assortment allows you to be creative and tantalize your palate with yummy combinations. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is most inviting. One problem.... The secret is out how great this place is and it is busy most nights. However it is definitely worth the wait! read more

I couldn't go to Chicago and not eat pizza. But we got so busy we forgot, luckily we had a pizzeria right down the corner from out hotel the day of check out. On a time constraint and absolutely starving we both ordered the express pizza lunch that came accompanied by the cutest little mixed green salad and breadstick. Our waiter Tony (aka Tony the Tiger) was a hoot!! He made the experience! Also, the pizza was pretty amazing!!! We both inhaled the pizza because it was yummy and because we were in a rush. However It looked like a cozy place to grab a beer and personal pie! Outdoor seating was available for warmer days, which i love! Only complaint, seating was tight. We got sat at a high top in the bar, which was the main walk thru from the kitchen so there was constant movement around us. Table was small but we weren't there long. Tony made sure we got our food timely, knowing we were on a time constraints and chatted us up while we waited. Great place, ask for Tony!! read more

Pizzeria Due - Bbq chicken deep dish - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Tasty pizza in a great location. This was my first Chicago style pizza we got it Chicago style with the sausage and added pepperoni. It is so filling. I could hardly eat a slice. It's heavily breaded. Unlike NY style pizza. The crust seemed to have sort of a corn meal dusting on it and was certainly more like the crust of a deep dish dessert pie filled with cheese, sauce and the like. Felt more like eating a lasagna pie. Different, but tasty. Don't think I'll get it again. I tried it and must admit I'm a NY Pizza kind of gal. What can I say I LOVE NY! Chicago is a gorgeous city and I love its energy. I will be back for sure. The atmosphere here will likely bring me back. I'll figure out what to order when I get there. Service was great. Btw, the server warned me that the pizza was meant to up to 7. I figured she must be exaggerating or maybe normal folks. That's not how this Italian line does it, that's like enough for two us maybe. I mean they say the same thing in NY and we can devour those. It's almost embarrassing...ALMOST! Who am I kidding I have no shame ;) my son has been eating a slice since he was almost one. Note- the second image is how much we had left over. Crazy right? read more

my first taste of the world renowned chicago pizza was at pizzeria due. I should say that I wasnt impressed at all. the pizza was made from scratch as we were told by the server. we ordered the small sized pizza which is sliced up to 4 pcs approx 3.5 inches thick. We ordered the Due pizza special which is equivalent to the super supreme of pizza hut. Will try another pizzza place to give my taste buds another chance. read more

Long wait for our pizzas (seated quickly), pizza not as good as Uno! Stopped at our family favorite first as we had 3 hungry kids with us.....told wait was 45 minutes (but like usual line was out the door).....so I walked over to Due where they told me the wait was only 15 minutes.....it was to get seated....but it took over an hour for the pizzas to arrive....and we arrived around 5:45 pm...... I didn't mind waiting for the table because Hot Mamma and I grabbed a spot at the bar and put the kids on our laps (I had one on each leg).....because "kids cant sit at the bar".....but the wait for the pizza was just too long....although the service was really good from Justin C! And in no way, shape, or form does it resemble a Uno's pizza.....the oldest was hungry and crabby and was not pleased that it was not an Uno's pizza.... Although I heated what was left over for dinner and thought it was much better than the pie in the restaurant last night..... Its worth the wait at Uno! 1 garlic bread/che 4.79 1 soda 2.49 1 Sam Adams pilsn 6.29 1 Gls Geyser Pk sb 7.29 Total - $20.86 (bar tab) 1 lrg, deep dish, sausage 24.99 1 small deep dish, cheese 12.49 1 garlic bread 3.79 (really good!!!) 1 salad bowl 4.29 1 gls Hess chard7.59 1 kids pasta 3.59 1 Miller Lite 4.29 1 gls Tilia Malbec 7.99 Total - $69.02 PS.

This is one of my lowkey spots to go to when I want great pizza but want to avoid the sports bar family fun vibe of Lou Malnati's. I love the dark, somewhat romantic decor, and the decent wine selection. The fact that Due is open when other places are closed, that despite Due being busy, the service has not ever been anything but good. I've been a few times on the weekend when its packed and they take your pizza order while you wait for a table, and it's always worked out well. The pizza itself is wonderful. When you put a piece into your mouth, the crust is buttery but light, the sauce is mild but fresh and the cheese adds a depth of flavor to the texture. Not sure if they put any aggressive spices in the sauce, but if you get the spinach pizza, you'll taste a mild hint of heat, but not so much that it upsets your palate or turns you off, it actually lifts the spinach and sauce. The crust is almost like a cookie in texture, but it's so buttery...I always save that part for last. I had a glass of Malbec from Argentina that was absolutely divine. I seek it every single time I'm here. If you go, don't drink it all, save some for me!! read more

cant go to chicago without eating chicago deep dish pizza! although there are many places, we went within walking distance from northwestern university on saturday night around 11 pm. my friend had mentioned uno's (the sister company) or giordanos (which was farther), so we went for pizza due (across the street from uno's, but ive had that in CA before). we were told as soon as we walked in that itd take 45 minutes for a pizza, so we ordered a small numero uno (combo) for the 4 of us, and were seated promptly. we ordered a house salad (iceberg lettuce in a bag) that had 4 cherry tomatoes, purple onions, 3 sesame breadsticks (for 3 of us) and a vinagerette. i was not a fan of the salad, didn't care for it. when our pizza arrived, it looked delicious, and our semi-rude waitress got nicer through the night. she cut up slices for us. i wasn't expecting all the tomato sauce on top, which im not a huge fan of, but it was still good. the crust/bread was really good and fresh, you could still see the parts of uncooked dough, and i was amazed to see that on top of the dough was sausage flattened all on top of the bread. however, i thought it was just okay. i still ate since i was starving, but i guess i expected better. my friend said it beat uno and giordanos because the bread/crust was way better. i thought a small would be too small for the 3 of us, but a slice is really fatty, and filled us up. i still ate half of the last slice. goes perfect with ranch! read more

Pizzeria Due - Número UNO - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Hands down to Due's for keeping the authentic deep dish style alive in Chi town. Everything is great on the menu. Have been dining here for quite a while.Since I live just two blocks away so it is very comfortable for me to head to this place.Tried the BBQ chicken which was dead awesome. On the downside one has to wait atleast for 45-50 mins to get a table.The wait might be more on weekends. read more

Decently busy on a Saturday night. My 2 friends and I came at around 7pm and waited about 5 minutes for seating, and 30 minutes for our food. We each got individual pizza pies, mine being the Numero Uno, and boy, did they really taste like pies. The crust was very flaky and buttery like a regular pie, while the tomato sauce and vegetable fillings were piled atop a cheese layer and a sausage layer. I absolutely loved my filling to crust ratio since I love pizza filling so much, but the crust was so flaky and moist that it wasn't very crispy like I was expecting to to be. Server got the change wrong for one of my friends who paid in cash, but that can be an easy mistake at any restaurant, I guess. Otherwise, we had pretty decent service. I assume this place is similar to Pizzeria Uno a block down, but I was wondering if they also own Uno's Chicago Grill since the logo was printed on the back of my receipt. I've never been to Uno's, so I wonder if the taste is comparable if I just hit up that place in a different state. read more

Deep dish is not what everybody seems to want in Atlanta, where I live. Thin crust Neopolitan is all the rage. So, I'm in Chicago on business and figure I need deep dish. Pizzeria Due was close to the hotel and seems to get good reviews. I agree. I tried a sausage & mushroom pizza, with a house salad. Both quite good. The pizza came out screaming hot, but once it cooled, happy eating ensued. I don't know whether PD makes what the locals would call typical Chicago deep dish, but I like this style of crust Uno Amber beer hit the spot, too. read more

12.28.14 Picked up 4 frozen pizzas to bring back to Orange County, CA with me. 3 days after returning from Chicago I cooked up 1 of the 2 cheese pizzas I got and it was delicious week later 1 of the 2 sausages was enjoyed and today I've been savoring the last frozen cheese pizza. Learned a little trick to make it taste even more like I was there in Chicago, heated the oven per the instructions as well as my cast iron skillet that actually fit the pizza perfectly. The crust was cooked more and even the beautiful dark brown to a slight burn, sauce was nice a bubbly was perfect. Actually this write up got me hungry again think I will have another slice w/an ice cold beer. Thank you Uno & Duo's for making my nights feel like home! read more

Hate the wait but gotta Love that Pizza! It was my first time and comparing Due to my recent visit to Lou Malnatti's N State,ordering the same 1/2 & 1/2 pizza, DUE's Crust was far superior, flaky, buttery, thicker and immensely addicting (can't believe I say that bc I was always a huge NY thin & CA cracker crust fan), sausage was thicker, and tons of olives all over the pizza, and just a more balanced flavor and so much more satisfying, AND CHEAPER. The $12.99 Due pizza, cost us $18.10 at Lou's for the same thing ($2 upcharge for 1/2 and 1/2 and $1.95 for a few sparse olives). Of course it's all subjective, with variables in play on any given night, your chef, who prepared the day's batch of dough, etc, not a hater, and all for trying them all yourself, but if you had only one to try, I'd recommend Pizza Due. Due's wait was 45 mins around 6pm Friday but we got in at the bar earlier. Expect another 30 min wait on pizza at peak times, dated green interior in the classical way, 1/3 of the restaurant capacity of Lou's, engaging bar staff and really helpful & nice hostess, and I'd still wait out Due over Lou's. Gino's East is my 2nd choice, Lou's 3rd yet I would only go between Due and Gino's when in Chi Town next. Pizza Uno (which I did not like 2013, made me hesitant to try Due) is the predecessor to Due, same recipes, but Due is so much better, locals at the bar report the same. read more

Took my wife and teenage daughters there on a Saturday night to celebrate my teenager's birthday with 6 giggly 13 year olds. Ordered two thin crusts and a thick crust. The pizzas were fantastic.

I m happy I found this place and will definitely return. read more

I was pretty excited to go to Pizzeria Uno, but the wait was WAY too long. My companion and I headed to Pizzeria Due, which still had a wait, but only of 20 minutes. We didn't mind and headed to the department store next door. We were seated in the outdoor seating on the second floor (with the protective tarps, etc.). My first observation was how small the tables were. We were only two people up against the "wall." Our guess was right. We ordered a salad, a small pizza, and a pitcher of beer. We were trying to figure out how to manuver the whole time to eat. The pizza in itself was okay, the salad was great, but it was just so annoying to eat and move around that we just couldn't feel comfortable to enjoy. Beyond that, there were constant flying insects all around. It was so annoying we even downloaded some apps on our smartphones to try and remedy the situation. Our waiter was nice, but because we were in the isolated dining area, whenever there was no staff around, it was pretty impossible to get service. The whole experience was just frustrating. read more

Good deep dish pizza for what it is, but I'm not a fan of deep dish. The crust was well done. Crunch on the exterior and thick enough that even with the filling gooped into the middle, it never sogged up the bottom crust. The filling/ toppings were high quality and flavorful. Solid amount of cheese. I could only eat 1/2 of one small pizza slice. Loved the jardiniere that came with husband's sandwich. The service was good, but note that the pizza takes 45 mins to bake so relax and enjoy a drink while you wait. read more

The waitress kept on forgetting us. She took our order and never came back to ask for drinks or to refill the water. Deep dish pizza takes longer to bake (about 40 minutes) because of its thick crust and to be left unattended all that time sure was uncomfortable. I went twice to find our waitress but couldn't, maybe she was on a break. Finally, she came back after about half an hour and it was clear that she had forgotten about us. The result, our pizza took another half an hour and then when it finally arrived we could see that it was baked in a hurry. The crust could have used another couple of minutes in the oven. Its color was a light yellow, in other words, it was just enough baked. Read the complete review on my blog Life Without Alu? read more

Considered by locals to be the jewel in Chicago's deep dish pizza crown, Due occupies a cozy, unpretentious cellar just off the Michigan Avenue shopping district. Stopping in for lunch during a recent business trip, I grabbed a fireside table, ordered a tall local brew, and waited for my individual-sized Numero Uno pie to bake. With extra cheese, loads of sausage and pepperoni, mushrooms and fresh peppers, the pizza was delicious. The crust was a little tougher than I preferred though, and not as flavorful as the one I had enjoyed a couple nights earlier at Giordano's. Still, Pizzeria Due serves up delicious deep dish pies in a wonderful setting, and is well worth a visit whenever you're in the Windy City. read more

Yum! Yum! I'd never been to Chicago before and had never tried real deep dish so I was excited. The original Pizzeria Uno is right across the street but we opted to go here just because we were closer to it as we were returning from our walk through the city. There was a small wait for the restaurant, but that was okay because they make you order the pizza you want right away (since it takes longer to cook from the sheer amount of dough they use, around 45 minutes) so my two friends and I opted for the sausage. We got an order of garlic bread for the table, ordered a few beers, and waited for the main event. The garlic bread was nothing out of the ordinary, but it was good. When the pizza came out, the waitress was using special tongs because of how hot it was. She cut it up for us and served us each our first pieces. The sausage had been removed from the casing, pounded flat and spread over the top of the pizza so that there was a SOLID layer of sausage, which was amazing. The cheese was in between the crust and the sausage and the sauce was layered on top of the sausage. It was a new concept for me, but I guess it's practical, considering the cheese would probably burn pretty quickly if it were on top. The dough was not something I was used to. It was sort of crumbly and not chewy, but I grew up on New York pizza, so it was a new experience. Each table has a little tray with parmesan cheese, oregano, and hot pepper flakes. I covered my pizza in hot pepper flakes, of course. I really really enjoyed my first (genuine) deep dish pizza experience! read more

Pizzeria Due - Small Deep Dish with sausage and pepperonis - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

(2.5 stars) My friends and I dropped in on a Saturday night at 1AM, hungry for some satisfying pizza. We didn't realize Pizzeria Due only served deep dish type pizza, but we took that as a good excuse to order even more calorie-ridden junky late night food, oops. There were a couple parties, but for some reason, they seated us at a dark booth near the kitchen. Our friendly server reminded us gently that deep dish pizza would take 35-40 minutes to prepare. Hey, no problem! We'll just order an appetizer, we thought.... And maybe some drinks. We got Garlic Bread and a round of Sangrias. 1. The Sangria here is falsely labeled as sangria. Pizzeria Due prepares it here like a punch. I think there was some powdery substance they used to make it but it was awful! Seriously, how do you mess up sangria???! We were super disappointed and the three of us had maybe three sips taken at the end of the night (seen in picture). Our server must not have noticed because he didn't ask about it. But when a group of girls leave their Sangrias practically untouched... You know something is wrong! 2. Garlic Bread - aka toasted bread with no garlicky flavor, whatsoever. Again, how do you mess up garlic bread?? The marinara sauce made this edible, but my friends and I were just laughing that from the looks of our meal so far, who knows what kind of excuse for pizza they'd serve us. BUT lo and behold, when the pizza actually did arrive, we were delighted at the sight. My friend who is a vegetarian got the individual mushroom and spinach deep dish and my other friend and I shared the Numero Uno small deep dish. We loved it! My friend and I only had one slice each, but we were completely satisfied by the delicious veggie and meat packed slices of pizza. So I'm pretty torn by what to review this place. Service was decent- they gladly split our checks. My suggestion would be to order the pizza here and ONLY the pizza. But if there are countless other pizzerias who can manage a simple sangria or garlic bread, why come back to Pizzeria Due? read more

It pains me to give this place a bad review because the pizza is great but the service was beyond disappointing. We came in at 3pm because we had to leave at 4:45pm to get to a show and I understand the pizza takes around 45 minutes, so we ordered right when we sat down. First of all, my mom never got her drink, my brother got the wrong beer and we didn't get refills on the drinks that did come. Then the pizza actually took a little over an hour to get to the table. We asked for the check essentially right when the pizza came to ensure we'd have time to leave before our show and the check NEVER CAME! We left enough cash on the table to cover our tab plus tax and a little for tip because I understand they may be understaffed, but take my advice and just order take out. read more

Disappointing. Made and confirmed reservations in advance for 7 at 7PM. Preordered our pizza at 545 to be ready for when we got there. Arrived at 6:57 PM, and the hostess (manager) confirmed we preordered our pizza. Made the assumption pizza would be out soon. Don't know what happened but at 7:20 when we asked the waitress where's our pizza she then said it usually takes 45 minutes. Well finally at 7:45 the deep dish pizza came out and it was cold and not what we preordered. Second thin crust cheese pizza came out pipping hot 10mins later. Anyway, we left 10mins later since we planned to only be there 30-45mins to begin with and had a timeline. No remorse or apologies from manager, no attempt whatsoever to make it right. Due, you can be better. read more

Several of the reviews mentioned that Pizzeria Due is better than Giordano's, so I wanted to give it a shot since my hotel is nearby. It was good but it wasn't better than Giordano's. The restaurant itself is really cute though. There's an outdoor patio and the actual restaurant is downstairs. The salad that I had prior to the pizza was lackluster. The veggies didn't seem very fresh. I ordered the uno and it was only average. The sauce was lacking and the veggies didn't taste great. Th server was wonderful, prompt and polite. I would come back for a glass of wine and maybe try one of the appetizers because the ambiance was fantastic. read more
