I went here with my partner and tried the Chicago (original) version of UNO's Pizzeria. The staff were nice and the ambiance was laid back but busy. Not to be biased but this version did not have much flavor. I prefer the New York version of UNO's Pizzeria read more

Fun! It was next to our hostel, so the convenience was the biggest factor for picking our deep dish place for this Chicago visit. It does cater to tourists by doing the printed pictures thing... But they did give us a postcard for free which I cherish. The pizza was so yummy in my opinion, but I don't discriminate too much with deep dish since I am a simple silly tourist. The dark wood interior was old school and fun. Thank you! read more

Last visited 20 years ago. Always delicious! A lot of pizza choices. Recommended a trip when in town.

Pizzeria Uno is a staple of Chicago cuisine and the birthplace of deep dish "pizza". I had the sausage pie and if you don't want to take home leftovers, I recommend getting the personal pie because they will fill you up if you're skinny like me. The servers are wonderful to talk to. The music is great and it always feels like you're coming home when you visit. read more

Pizzeria Uno - Personal Sausage Pie - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Overall: 1.5/5 Food: 1/5 - I came here with a friend and we got the small deep dish pizza as well as a tomato sauce pasta. The deep dish pizza tasted gummy and the sauce tasted like canned sauce. The cheese did not taste fresh and was not super cheesy and was disappointing especially after what was basically an hour long wait. The pasta was the worst dish I have every paid money for at a restaurant. The sauce tasted like it came straght from a can/jar and was lukewarm/borderline cold. The sauce was not even mixed in with the pasta and there was too much pasta and not enough sauce. The garlic bread tasted frozen with no flavor and we were both so disappointed and felt like this was a complete waste of money. Service: 2/5 - Our server came by once to get our order and give us water at the beginning. He did not give us our food and forgot to give us the side salad that comes with the pasta until we were finished with the meal. We asked another worker about this and her attitude was short and rude offering no help or assistance. We had to put our names down on a wait list to get in and even after seated, (after being on the wait list for 30 minutes), we had to wait another 30-40 minutes for stale tasting pizza and lukewarm tasteless pasta. Value: 1/5 - The taste and quality and service of this place does not warrant the pricepoint that this restaurant offers. The only "cool" thing about this place is the fact that it is the "birthplace" of chicago deep dish pizza, but everything about this place was the worst. I would not come back or recommend. It was a total waste of time and money and I wish I did not even come (but at least now I know to stay clear from this place the next time I am in this area !) read more

Pizzeria Uno - the tomato sauce pasta :// - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

They were absolutely awful. The two hosts were bickering back and forth at the booth. That should've been a precursor to what they would offer for service. The one that led us to our table dropped the menus on the table and walked off. She was asked "Is this our table"? She nodded as she walked off. It was the absolute worst behavior for a server to display, simply rude. I gave her grace because they looked hot, sweaty, unkempt and irritated. It was such an unpleasant experience at the front door and we should've left then. We were hoping for better service but that didn't seem hopeful, so we left. read more

This iconic place has been serving deep dish pizzas since 1943. I was finally able to try it out with friends and family. We tried an arancini and a Spinnocoli Deep dish pizza on our recent visit. I felt the food was about average. I wasn't a fan of broccoli in my pizza, it tasted a bit weird. We were seated in a booth which was too small and it felt too crammed. Overall, Pizzeria Uno is average! I don't think I'll go here again. P.S. Keep in mind that they have 40 mins prep time for their deep dish pizzas. read more

We were on a vacation to Chicago and decided to stop for lunch at the (I checked, it is) birthplace of deep dish pizza, Pizzeria Uno. It was very busy and we had to wait 15 minutes or so to get seated. Before we sat to wait, they had already given us menus and we preordered our pizzas. We were in and out in an hour and a half and we're glad we went in the first place. The small, vintage place is very nice and clean and the food was delicious. Deep dish is very different from NY style, but it's still awesome food. Great place, very historic. Highly recommend read more

Like the pizza, it's a bit of a mess. But very satisfying. We came by and should've ordered pizza when we were waiting for our table but we didn't know and they didn't offer. Thankfully we figured out our error and it saved some time before we sat down. A large pizza fed 4 with a bit left over. Enjoyed the sausage and peppers. Everyone knows it's deep dish so you wait but it's enjoyable. The Caesar salad family style was huge. It was fine. The boneless wings were a bit of a psss for me. A little too tough. Service when we sat was good. Inside is nothing special and it could use a refresh a little bit. But otherwise you want a deep dish experience, it's a good choice. read more

This is such a fun and unique experience. We had no reservation and showed up around 8pm. We were told it would be a 40 minute wait for a table. We reluctantly said we would wait and I'm glad we did. Within 15 minutes our table was ready! With this restaurant you can dine inside or outside and they both have major differences. Outside you will be on the side of the very busy street. So you will have all the romantic car honking noises to entertain you. However you will have a lot of room to move around. Inside you'll be in the rich history of this restaurant. You will feel that history on the inside. The downside is the booths are very tight. Overall I'm so happy we got the inside. Now the pizza is some of the best deep dish you will receive in Chicago. It was packed with so much flavor and truly remarkable. I also really loved that even though it was so busy, the staff still shared fun stories about this historic restaurant. I would highly recommend visiting this gem! read more

when my mom was a resident at u of chicago she loved this place and would tell me about this place for years and this spring break i chose to do a roadtrip with my mom to chicago to visit the places she loved 30 years ago. this place did not disappoint! we went around 3pm and were seated right away. our server was such a delight, one of the friendliest servers i've ever had. i wish i caught her name but she recommended instead of just getting a small pizza and adding what we want we should get the veggie pizza and make a substitution and add half sausage to save us money. the atmosphere was great as well. not too loud even tho it was packed. we started with the fried calamari. nice and crispy and delicious. came with two sauces, your usual marinara sauce and another sauce. not sure what the second sauce was but it was so delicious. the deep dish pizza was delicious. there is a 45 minute wait for the pizza but it's worth it. the small pizza gives 4 slices but we only had one slice each to save space for dessert and to have food for the drive the next day. the pizza was also very good the next day! the tiramisu, no words. light and airy and just so delicious. still thinking about this dish 4 days later. all in all eating here was great. not only was the food and service top tier, it was also wonderful seeing my mother get to relive her favorite places read more

Whether or not this was the first deep dish pizza ever or just a good marketing team early to make the claim, it's still an old restaurant in cool historic building with the classic dish. They do warn you to leave 45 minutes for cooking, but it seemed to take only about 30. It's really like a pie, so it's not a quick lunch, but it's worth it. The pizza was hot and fresh from the oven. Tons of pepperoni, sauce, and some cheese tucked in there made for a great deep dish experience. Even a small one is very filling for two people. The decor has a nice old school feel for it, and service was good. Whether or not it was the first, it's a good one. read more

The food was what we came for, the service was sassy in a great way, and the ambiance was that of where the pizza mob hangs out. We ordered a medium deep dish that was supreme on one side and cheese pesto on the other. This place is by far the best for deep dish that we found in Chicago. There's a reason it's been around since 1943 and that is and has been how purely delicious their dough is. We also had a fantastic side salad and the crab dip. All in all a great Sunday Funday at UNO. read more

Classic Chicago pizza with a cozy dining room. Close to Michigan Avenue downtown. Worth the walk. It can be busy, so call ahead.

Pizzeria Uno is a Chicago institution that's been here for over 30 years that I know of. It got the same nostalgic look inside and out. They have their own unique crust recipe with corn meal in the dough which gives a really good flavor. They hand make the pies to order vs. having the crusts all prepped in the pans beforehand. Makes a difference in my opinion. We started with the shrimp and crab dip that came with toasts. There was plenty of shrimp in the dip and it was flavorful. Honestly though, I wouldn't order an appetizer if it's 3 or less of you eating as the apps fill you up and you can't eat much pizza pie then! Corey our server was very friendly, not in a rush and we really liked that he talked with us a bit. The Broccolini pizza pie was delicious. Sauce to crust and everything in between was really flavorful! Even if you're a die hard stuffed pizza fan of other famous Chicago pies, it's good to try this pie at the original location while you're downtown! read more

I wanted to introduce my nephew, who is from out of town, to Chicago deep dish pizza. I first had deep dish pizza many years ago, and I know what it should be like. The crust was not pizza dough like, more like pie dough and for some reason, was the low salt version, really tasteless, not a yeast dough. The tasteless crust was covered with a 1/2 inch layer of tomato sauce, then the anchovies onions and mushrooms I ordered. Where were the Italian cheeses? When I called to complain, politely, I was told my name was not on theirDoor Dash order list for Saturday night so they could not give me a refund, that I must have ordered from a different pizzeria. I do have a photo of the bis and the label that says DD for deep dish. Does this look like deep dish pizza from another , not Uno, pizza fía? read more

Pizzeria uno was recommended by multiple people as one of the best deep dish pizzas in Chicago. Caesar salad was great with thick strips of Parmesan inside, which was amazing. Pizza came out and the smell was incredible. My only complaint, which unfortunately is a big deal, was how the crust of the pizza was not good. It was crispy/crunchy but it tasted like corn bread and I actually didn't eat the crust because I didn't like it. The pizza itself (sauce, cheese, pepperoni and mushrooms) were INCREDIBLE; however, the experience was not perfect because of the crust. If I came back to Chicago, I'd try another deep dish spot before coming back here! read more

If I could give this zero stars I would. They sat us at a table where water from their vent system was dropping water. We had to strategically move around the table to avoid getting wet. We ordered a side salad and a small deep dish pizza. Salad was good but the pizza came out cold. The server carried the pan out like it was hot. We touched it and it was cold to the touch. The worst part about all this, we traveled from the DC area to try Chicago's famous deep dish pizza. In my opinion it sucked. I'm sticking with NY style pizza. Service in NY was 100 times better and the food was hot and delicious. read more

Service: Our server was incredibly nice and friendly, but an individual and small pizza and an order of spaghetti w/meatballs shouldn't have taken an hour to come out. Food: I think the crust of this is garbage. It was crumbly and tasteless. Ambiance: It was a neat, old location. I would give it a 2.5 but that's not an option, so I rounded it up to 3 because our server was awesome! read more

Horrible and sorry to say it because I always enjoyed going here for a quick pan pizza when in Chicago. I stopped in 6/2/26 at noon and sat at bar. Someone told me the bartender went for coffee and will be back. At the height of lunch rush? She showed up 10 mins later and struggled to find me a Coors light and took my order. Ok, no big deal but I overheard her saying that she was talking to friends and that's the reason she was absent? Anyway, 40 mins later and after she asked if I wanted another beer, I asked where the soup was. She said sorry, and returned 10 mins later with soup. Now I have been here 40 mins later. 20 mins later I told her I'm leaving and paid for a beer and a soup. Bad service is a killer in this business. Owners just can't trust that employees have the business in their best interest. Impossible to be an owner and not be hands on. Not going back. Besides the place has a layer of grease on the bar. Needs to be cleaned and overhauled. Forget the great story about the restaurant's origin, current employee/owner disrespecting that legacy. read more

In my late teens and 20s, Pizzeria Uno in San Diego used to be one of my favorite hangouts! Alas, Pizzeria Uno closed up shop in my hometown years ago. But while I was in Chicago on business, I had the opportunity to stop by the original Pizzeria Uno in Chicago. Even on a Sunday the place was pretty packed! I placed my pizza order at the register and was seated at a table about a half hour later. Even though I was in the middle of the restaurant with a closed menu and no water, napkin or utensils, people kept walking past me without a greeting. About fifteen minutes in, I flagged someone down and asked if they were my server. They said they were not, and that they'd let my server know. Then more time went by. Fortunately, the not-my-server-server came back and took my order and set me up with a club soda and a salad. It was still quite a wait for my pizza, a basic #1 deep dish. When the pizza arrived, it was pretty tasty, very much the pizza dreams of my late teens. When a few tables left, the servers seemed to have better breathing room, and came by to check in. Maybe they were just short-staffed that night. In and out the door was 100+ minutes...just for an individual deep dish, side salad, and club soda. read more

Pizzeria Uno - #1 of course! - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

TLDR; good classic Chicago deep dish at the original chain Chicago deep dish is a bit different from your classic New York slice; it goes dough, cheese, meat, veggies then sauce on top. Deep dish is THICC, and there are two major variations; one has a buttery, pastry-like dough while the other has the ingredients between two pieces of dough (also known as "stuffed" deep dish). Unos pizza is the original deep dish, and does deep dish via the first variation stated above. It's rich, full of flavor, and overall very heavy (this is not a bad thing; it's 100% expected) with good structure. The meatball and marinara were also good, but the star here is the pizza. I'll eat this once a year (too heavy for me to have regularly). The building itself is a historical landmark as the origin of Chicago deep dish (1943). The inside ambiance is pretty cozy (perfect for winter), and staff were great. If you are looking to experience authentic Chicago deep dish, this is the place to go. Try to go during lunch time though; dinner lines get really long. read more

Visited Pizzaria Uno with my wife recently. Upon arrival, we requested a small deep dish pizza with some drinks. Then we got in the digital line and waited for a text. Five minutes later, our table was ready and we were seated. Space is at a premium here so don't expect a lot of wiggle room. A waitress arrived and took our drink requests. We told her that we had already submitted our pizza request, which was nice. It's a good idea to put your deep dish pizza request in at the same time you get on the wait list because the pizza takes about 40 minutes to make and cook. Might as well have your pizza cooking while you're waiting for a table. Alas, our pizza was delivered and the waiter plated some for us, so we didn't have to touch the hot pan. I sprinkled on some red pepper flakes and dove right in. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. The pizza was hot, but not too hot as I let it cool for a couple minutes. The crust was crunchy, but not too hard. The crust didn't have a lot of flavor though. But that was okay because the pizza itself had a ton of flavor. It was delicious and I'd order the same thing over and over again. I really like deep dish pizza, especially from this historic pizza shop. read more

I am never coming back to this establishment. While waiting for our bill, a man, clearly not a paying customer, came up to our table (which was in the very back of the restaurant) asking for a pizza slice. We politely declined but he was incessant and lingered at our table for a good 1 or 2 minutes. He had a hood on, a mask, and was holding paper bags that he would hover over the table to distract us from his true intention--stealing our wallets. When he finally left, my boss realized that the man had stolen her wallet. We told the staff and the manager came out, and while we thought he would offer some sort of consolation, he was absolutely no help. He never apologized once, just basically said he "hates when this happens" which made it seem like this a normal reoccurrence. He told us he watched the footage, but a police report wouldn't do anything because you couldn't see his face. His only "consolation" was telling us over and over again to cancel the cards in the wallet, which I feel like is the very obvious and common sense first step that we had already done. After a few minutes of him saying nothing helpful or offering to comp our meal, or even an appetizer or SOMETHING, I told him they need to be a bit more vigilant of who comes into the restaurant. The manager then got very angry and defensive saying he can't assume things about people, which is true to a certain extent, but was not even relevant in this case. There is a worker at the door who checks people in, and multiple staff walking around, yet no one stopped this man or said anything even when a non-paying customer was harassing our table, in the VERY BACK of the indoor restaurant, mind you. Then, a waitress came up to our table and says this happens 3 TIMES A WEEK where a person comes into the restaurant and robs the patrons. This is obviously pure negligence by staff, especially the manager, by having no respect for its paying customers and their safety. When you pay for a meal at an indoor restaurant, you don't think twice about your safety because the only people in the restaurant are those there to eat. It is a given and basic right that your safety is ensured at an indoor restaurant. Not here. There was never an apology, there was never even an offer to comp anything--it was just completely unprofessional and frustrating. I have never encountered such horrible customer service in my entire life. I am never coming back to this establishment and you shouldn't either unless you want to get robbed. read more

This was the only pizza place that I ate at during my Chicago trip, only because of the "historic-ness" of it - it claims to have sold the first deep-dish pizza. There's a couple plaques that tell all about it. But anyway, I'll admit I was disappointed...not in the staff or the timeliness, but the actual pizza! Let me explain... Before I went on my trip, I was advised by my peers not to come here as PU sucked and there were better options. Whatever. I did order a pie that was just right for me, with four slices. I really liked how you can order while waiting in line since the pizza takes about an average 40-45 minutes to cook. I give them plus points for that. (I don't know if other pizza places in Chi do that). I didn't order any appetizers or salad because I knew the pizza would fill me up, and boy it did after the second slice! But here's what I was disappointed in: the way they put the sausage on it. It's like one huge sausage patty cake on top of the pizza with sauce on it. I thought they would cut up the sausage in bits and pieces. But nope. Should have went with the pepperoni or something else. But I had to go all out! Great service and staff overall. read more

We were driving thru Chicago and wanted some authentic deep dish. I read Pizzeria Uno was the original, so we decided to stop there. This was a tiny carry-out spot attached to a gas station with a couple of bar stools at the window counter. Service and pizza were both great. Crispy and cheesy and just yum! Bonus points that they had parking where we could keep an eye on our car with the car top carrier full of luggage. read more

I was really excited to try Chicago Deep Dish, so I preordered a small sausage pizza, knowing it would be piping hot when I arrived. Unfortunately, I ended up walking out with the wrong pizza. It's understandable--human error happens--but it was disappointing to pay extra for sausage only to receive a spinach pizza instead. Since it was the wrong pizza, it was cold, and eating cold deep dish for the first time is definitely not ideal. That said, the staff member was super nice and gave me plenty of plates and napkins, knowing it was a to-go order. From my experience, the restaurant has a small and cozy atmosphere. It's in a great location near Michigan Ave and is historically known as one of the first places to create deep dish pizza. The pizza had a good sauce with chunky tomatoes. However, I wasn't a fan of the crust, which was made with cornmeal--it was so thick that I almost broke a tooth. It wasn't burnt, just extremely dense. I'm glad I got to try a historic deep dish pizza, but the next time I'm in Chicago, I'll likely try a different place. read more

Not sure who are individuals this was designed for as it was huge and I couldn't finish it. After eating I realized that numero uno pizza has 1800 calories. Sounds like I will be walking the rest of the day.... Pizza that dense does take some time to bake more precisely 40 minutes, so plan accordingly!!!

Home of Chicago deep dish and one of many places that serve this style of pizza. The vibes are cozy, where the seating is very close together. The tables are on the slimmer end and you'll be fairly close to your party and other parties. The service is fairly good, with the sever coming by every so often. If you're in a rush it'll be hard to enjoy the place in an hour. The medium is 6 big slices of deep dish. The pizza isn't super cheesy. There is a lot of sauce and the crust is very flaky, it reminds me of pie crust. The vegetable toppings are a bit undercooked so they give a crispness to the mouth feel. read more
