Before our trip, I posted a note about our travel plans on my Facebook page, and a friend of mine from Philly who went to school at Wheaton College recommended a place for us to find authentic Chicago-style deep-dish pizza: Lou Malnati's.
After a morning of walking through Millennium Park (the photo above was taken at the Cloud Gate sculpture) and up Michigan Avenue's Magnificent Mile, we were starving. When our waitress came to take our order, we asked for her recommendation, and without hesitation she suggested the sausage pizza. As soon as we ordered, she told us it would be a 35-minute wait (?!). Thankfully, it didn't take nearly that long, but if it had, I think it would've been worth it.
What We Ate:
- small deep-dish sausage pizza - they're not chintzy on the sausage! and a small was plenty of food for two people
- Goose Island 312 Urban Wheat Ale - a good local brew that goes well with pizza
The Scoop:
There are locations of Lou Malnati's (www.loumalnatis.com) all over the greater Chicago area. The one we visited is in downtown, north of the river, at 439 North Wells Street, Chicago, IL 60610.
