As someone who grew up with Uno's, there is a huge difference between Uno's at the corner of Wabash and Ohio on Chicago (or Due's at Wabash and Ontario) and the terrible franchise chain they created around it. It's not even remotely the same. And that's true of Uno's franchises in the Chicago area; it's not like it's even a regional thing. You go out to the suburbs to a place called Uno's and it's nothing even remotely like the original.

That's not true of other Chicago chains like Lou Malnati's. The original Uno's and Due's are on par with Malnati's, which are pretty consistent for every one of them I've sampled across the greater Chicago metropolitan area. But the Uno's chain is absolutely not like the original, at all, full stop.

Exactly this.

I can't swing a cat without seeing some ad for cauliflower pizza. Have you tried that?
I tried that. Once.

I've been to Giordano's. Once.

Been to Lou's many times, and I actually like their version of Chicago pizza. I ordered a 6 pack last night. They'll be here today. Got some Portillo's beef coming too.

So the frozen Lou pizzas taste okay at home?  I've been thinking about trying it out.

Yep, we've done them before. There was a takeout only location where I used to live and we'd take and bake rather than bring a cooked one home. Give it a shot. I got 2 veggie, 2 sausage, 2 pep and one spinach (1 free with 6 - expired last night).

They opened a Lou's here in Carmel this month.  I remember it being fine the many years ago I went there.  Not particularly fond of the Chicago style pies/pizza simulation product.

Carmel? Well ain't you fancy.

My Indy knowledge is not super deep, but Bazbeaux was always a go-to when in town.

Exactly this.
The first time I had deep dish in Chi, it was Unos, because a resident directed us there. It certianly had the feel of not a chain. Granted, now I'd hit up the other places.

Man I want pizza now.  Tomorrow night, I'm either grabbing a stuffed deep dish pizza from Mangia, or a standard deep dish pizza from my favorite pizza place in Austin, named Conan's.

Has anyone ever completed a large Chicago style pizza by their lonesome? I know it is a lot, but there are people that can eat 72 oz steaks, hundreds of hot dogs, etc.

Second the motion for frozen Lou Malnati's. We've bought the frozen pies both online and in person before, and they are delicious baked.

Lou's is the favorite Chicago pizza of myself and all my acquaintances. There is a location near an exit on the Northwest Tollway west of O'Hare that we've frequently stopped at on our way to and from Michigan.
