Family-owned local Chicago chain restaurant. The place you go for the quintessential Chicago-style, deep-dish pizza with a butter crust.
The 3 main deep-dish places are Giordanos, Ginos East and Lou Malnati's, and they are in constant competition with each other for whose #1. My vote is for Lou Malnati's, hands down. (best sauce and crust)
