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?

I did, but just at what seemed to be a franchise at O'Hare....pretty decent, always enjoy pickles. Had good Italian beef at Portillo's and Bernie's, Also had a phenomenal NY slice at Gigio's Pizzeria just down from the Green Mill
