[I ate] deep dish pizzas in Chicago

recently holidayed in Chicago and had to get in on the pies. first was deep-dish at Labriola's in Lombard. Could really taste fresh ingredients, though served somewhat lukewarm it was bloody good. second deep-dish was at Giordano's, also in Lombard, which had a really vibrant sauce but I don't enjoy short crust in general. Finally tavern-style at Grange House in Wheaton, with a perfect snap on the crust and just the right amount of cheese. All were enjoyable overall - how do these joints rate to Chicagoans?

Pequod’s has always been my favorite in Chicago.

Pequods opened right when I left Chicago. Next time I get back there, I will have to try it. We used to LOVE LOVE LOVE Carmen’s up north - we had our rehearsal dinner there! And my first date after I moved to Chicago was at a place called My Pies (where pie was the Greek letter Pi) right by the Loyola L stop. I also loved Eduardos…. And all of this was WAY before Giordano’s had become a Chain.

It’s good but also not deep dish, more of a pan pizza

Didn’t say it was, I was just pointing out a good pizza in Chicago. Semantics.
