    I'm not here to join the pizza battles or the semantics of pizza vs. pie. Deep dish is something I like to grab once every couple of years, and this original location was a nice experience. I loved the small bar feel of the space, and the staff were great. I ordered an individual Chicago topped with Italian beef and giardiniera peppers. If we're going to hurt people's feelings regarding "authentic" toppings, might as well lean in and skip the pepperoni entirely. The individual size was the right choice, though it was still a significant amount of food. The beef and peppers were excellent, and the crust had a nice crunch and solid flavor. The sauce was good, and while there was plenty of cheese, it wasn't the molten lake of cheese I feared. This was some of the best-tasting Diet Coke ever, served right from the gun at the bar where I waited for my order.

    The chicagoan deep dish personal size

    Drinks were strong, well made. Pizza was hot and fresh, made to order. They make a point to tell you the pizzas take some time to make, I guess people don't know what they're getting into with deep dish? I ordered the chicagoan, in personal size which was nice because there were three of us and we couldn't agree on one pizza, so personal size is nice. The place is a bit snug, an older building with tight space for all the tables. It was a bit warm when we were there so the restaurant was warmer, but overall a good visit.

    Picture taken from level 8 parking across the street.  Very expensive to park but very convenient

    Loved The place and service was top notch! Not impressed with food very bland. We got the Spinocoli pizza and I guess I'm just not a deep dish Chicago pizza person. Crust was very hard. we also had the spinach balls the crust was very hard and again kind of bland Our waiter Eric was top notch friendly, informative and all around kind! Great customer service. His shift ended before we left so Juan and a new trainee ( Jean ) took over . Disappointed but they were nice too but I would've tipped Eric more

    Fried Calamari
    Kara S.

    Great food, great service, great atmosphere! We stopped in for just a snack and settled on the Calamari and Shrimp+Crab Dip. Both were great! The calamari was not excessively oily/greasy. The crab and shrimp dip was smooth and cheesy, it's paired with toasted bread, or I was dipping my calamari in it as well! Seafood hates to see me coming. The interior is darker with cozy seating, it definitely has a nostalgic/official pizzeria smell and aesthetic. Bar probably has 10 seats. Lots of carry out going through. Nice waiting area with seating.

    Thick crust, lots of cheese, rich tomato sauce, and big portions. A must-try if you're visiting the city!

    You can find this location of Pizzeria Uno at 29 E Ohio St, Chicago, IL 60611. I believe the area is called "Near North Side" - I'm unsure of the parking situation as I walked to Uno from my hotel a few blocks away on Magnificent Mile. I believe this is the original Pizzeria Uno location - I've had Uno previously as there was a franchise location in Buckhead Atlanta years ago so very familiar with the style of pizza, which I've always preferred for deep dish. I figured I should visit this venerable location, actually within site of Pizzeria Due about a block away. The building is very old-school and unassuming, as you would expect for an establishment that has survived for so long - you walk into what looks to be a staging area for takeout so a couple of sets of doors to access a small dining area with a bar along one side - the interior is full of wood and once again old-school, comforting. I sidled up to the bar and looked over the menu deciding on a small deep dish sausage pizza with a starter salad. There's something about the way the sausage melts into the crust while the deep dish cooks that makes everything even better. The House Salad I received was a bit disappointing - really mostly iceberg lettuce piled up with the usual toppings (I should have opted for the version topped with Italian coldcuts - I just didn't think I could manage it and the pizza). I felt like it had way too many croutons (I left about half of them). Half the Deep Dish Sausage came out to me at the bar at about 30-35 minutes from ordering - I was asked if I wanted the rest or if it should be boxed up - I opted for the latter. As expected, the pizza was wonderful with a chewy crust that somehow still had crispy edges. It's also loaded with a ton of cheese - I wolfed down the half and enjoyed the rest later the same nigh. Service was great - the guy behind the bar had plenty of anecdotes and entertained all of us eating there. Overall a great experience.

    Numero Uno, medium

    Came across Uno's while shopping in the area. Here was our experience: -Entered the main entrance and "security" was eating lunch on the bench -Entered next door and the hostess yelled "it'll be 45 minutes wait time for food"; -Tables are very close to each other so be mindful of bringing shopping bags, big purses, only can sit on the floor -Our server Ethan was new so giving grace as he had quite a few tables to manage -We ordered a medium Numero Uno, 8 big slices -It def took almost 45-minutes for the pizza to arrive after the order was placed -The toppings on the pizza were not cooked and just tossed atop -Pizza was not seasoned UNO's will be a reference to determine if I can like deep dish pizza as I try other restaurants.

    I've only had deep dish twice and NYC pizza already clears. There HAS to be better in Chicago but this was an absolute travesty. Appetizers were SO mid. The calamari was absolutely flavorless and all the crust was hard, brittle, and fell off with the slightest movement. Definitely frozen . The shrimp and crab dip was aight, the garlic bread super duper mid, felt like I was eating bricks. The pizza was genuinely devastating. This can't be what deep dish is. The crust was so hard it felt like I was a union civil war soldier eating hardtack. Maybe it's because of the size we got, maybe if it was bigger it'd be better. W cope. Costco pizza is better than this Word to my dead New York pizza CLEARS.

    Had the Uno Pizza, the one with pepperoni, sausage, onions, green peppers, and extra cheese. Overall it was good, I thought the crust was way too think and hard to enjoy. Also went with the meatballs appetizer, which was very good. The garlic bread that came with it was the best thing I ate. Cool old school ambiance, looks Like it hasn't changed in years ( and that's a good thing). Friendly service, nice people there

    I first tried Uno's back in 2023 and loved it. When i left california to drive cross country last June (2025), Uno's was on the top of my chicago todo list. The pizza here is that good! Their iconic deep dish pizza is flavorful, crispy, and packed with ingredients. It's my favorite pizza in the world, and I've tried pizza from Detroit, new york, toronto. I particularly enjoy chicago deep dish pizza because it's not as popular around the US, it's a unique way to eat pizza and i prefer it this way since it's more satiating than traditional pizza. Both times i visited Uno's, i sat at the bar. There was no wait (since i was by myself), but the restaurant was packed regardless. The bartender, who i remembered back from my first visit, is a great guy. He's got great service and hospitality, and was able to get my order in promptly. The pizzas do take quite a while to come out (about half an hour), but they come out fresh and are well worth the wait. The ambiance is lively and fun, so this would be a cool spot to bring a group, but maybe a little overwhelming if you're on an intimate date haha Every time i come to chicago, i will be on a quest to eat at uno's. I'm getting hungry already! 10/10

    Here in Chicago for work again and my manager and I love visiting this pizza spot. Love the salad and bread, which fills us up before the entrees arrive. Regardless, we both order spaghetti and meatballs PLUS a deep dish. Generous servings, reasonably priced, all a great value. Yes, can you tell we aim for leftovers to reheat in the hotel microwave? I love the refillable Diet Pepsi, which is kind of funny to have after all the food we tend to order;) The "historic" wooden decor and furnishings exude a kind of rustic feel, and do be careful not to bang your knee as you exit the booths, if you're in one. Will definitely return when we're back for the next show! We love this place!

    Garlic bread (giardiniera)
    Melanie T.

    I would say this spot is 3.5 stars overall. I've been here twice, each time because friends/family from out of town wanted to try deep dish pizza. It's in an excellent location in River North and has a nice casual old school bar vibe. It's got a lot of history! It's the birthplace of deep dish pizza, so for that it's a cool place to try deep dish. Service is excellent and I appreciate they tell you up front that the pizza takes about 30-45 minutes to make once you put your order in. (I think our medium pizza took closer to 30.) The servers are friendly and check in just enough. There was also a photographer who came to each table and offered to take a complementary group photo. He came back at the end of our meal with the printed photo, which had a memorabilia vibe with some pizza and other images printed around our group photo. He also showed us the photo with a physical frame ($25) and one where they made us into cartoons (cute!!). We opted to keep the free photo without the frame. A nice touch to the overall ambience of the place, which is popular among tourists and out-of-towners! Among the 3 of us who were quite hungry, we ordered garlic bread (giardiniera) and a medium sized Numero Uno pizza. We finished the garlic bread and ate half the pizza (1 slice each). And we were so full! The pizza had nice flavor, with the sausage providing the saltiness and the tomato offerings a tanginess. The crust itself is very much like a pie crust. It's crumbly and crunchy and thick so takes some work with the knife. The garlic bread was good and I liked the kick of the giardiniera though it was more cheesy than I prefer. Overall the place is solid for its pizza. I definitely prefer it to the chain deep dish spots around the city. I like it's history, it's service, and general vibe. The bathrooms could be a bit cleaner though I know they're pretty busy. Overall I recommend it if you you're visiting the city and are curious about deep dish. Great location nearby lots of attractions and fun streets to walk around!

    I've been a fan of Chicago style pizza for a long time, however I'm particularly fond of the pizza here because of they're buttery crust! It's crispy on the outside and just perfectly cooked throughout. I love this location as it reminds of what an old school pizzeria back in the day might've looked like in downtown Chicago. Dark walls, just below street level with windows laced around the top portion of walls. There is almost always a wait (for good reason!). Yesterday I opted to duck out of the frigid afternoon and get myself a personal deep dish with Italian beef & mushroom....perfect

    N/A New Fashion (pretty watery flavor compared to a good old fashioned)

    Just asking, did Uno's and Duos switch locations, seems the present Uno's looks more like the Duo's location I remember and not like the old Uno's?

    Nope. The original is still Uno.

    Hey... have you changed your Caesar salad dressing?

    Since Julius Caesars death on March 15th 44BC we have adjusted the ingredients of his salad dressing. Thanks for your inquiry.

    Is there a way to get 10 people in there on a Saturday night? This is our favorite pizza, and we'd love to come in around 6:30 or 7. They don't take reservations, do they? I don't even know where we would all wait!

    We had a party of 10, waited 30 min, they let us pre-order the pan pizza. Very smooth, good service.

A copy of the boar stands proudly near the entrance of the restaurant, and though it is not as old as the original 1634 sculpture, it was a charming reminder of our amazing Italian holiday. Did I mention that the weekday Happy Hour (4-6PM) specials are quite good? The specials are served only at the bar area, so you might have to wait a few minutes for available seating. We started with some drinks, including two kinds of Negroni. The wild mushroom arancini (5 little balls for $6) were the smallest I've tried, but they were creamy and melt-in-your mouth delicious. The whipped ricotta and jam beautifully served on a strip of toasty focaccia was a unique taste sensation. Prime beef meatballs and short rib sliders on toasted ciabatta bread also hit the spot.

We order it every single time and would probably be disappointed if we didn't. The real star of the show, though, is the lasagna. Between the two of us, we've had lasagna at countless restaurants, and nothing has come close to this one. It's hands down the best lasagna we've ever had. Perfect layers, incredible flavor, and the kind of comfort food that makes you want to savor every bite. Their Grey Goose espresso martini is also unmatched. We've tried espresso martinis all over Chicago, and this one is still our favorite. It's smooth, perfectly balanced, and the ideal way to start or end the meal. The atmosphere is another reason we love coming here. The restaurant is gorgeous inside, with a dark, moody vibe that makes it feel special without being stuffy. It's the perfect date night spot whether you're celebrating something or just looking for a great night out together. If you're visiting Chicago and love Italian food, Il Porcellino is a must. Great food, amazing drinks, beautiful ambiance, and a meal you'll be thinking about long after you've left. We make a point to visit every time we're in town, and it never disappoints.
