Pizzeria Uno
Can Akcali · 156 Google reviewsPizzeria Uno — an italian spot in River North. No frills and no gimmicks, just a solid honest room. Strong pours and a bartender who takes pride in the work. "The crust was perfectly crispy, the cheese was melty and rich, and the sauce had such great flavor" — Can Akcali [$$]

“ここのピザは本当に美味しかった。一人で旅行でシカゴに行った際、「シカゴピザ」という物を食べてみたくアレコレ調べましたが、通常は２～３人前の物しかないらしい（自分調べ）。とあるユーチューブでこの店にはお一人様サイズがあるというのを見て迷わず入店。 日曜日の夕方に訪問しましたが店内は待ってる人でごった返し。お店の方に一人ですがと伝えると外だったら直ぐに案内出来ますよと。という事でテラス席へ。６月だったので寒くはなかったですが、日が暮れ始めるとちょっと寒い....ピザが焼き上がるまで40分ほど掛かるという事なのでまずはGooseIPAを注文。お外で飲むからか美味い。待ち時間もありおかわり！そんなこんなでピザが到着。今回頼んだのは DEEP DISH SPECIALTY PIZZASのNUMERO UNOのInd.サイズ。直径こそ大きくは無いが厚みがありこれそシカゴ風ピザって感じ。具材はマッシュルームやオニオン、その他ペパローニなど具沢山。かなり食べ応えは有りますが一人でも食べきれるサイズです。ナイフ・フォークで上品に....は無理ですね。美味い！とにかく美味い！美味しいうちに食べきってしまいました。 お一人様でどこでピザを食べようかなって思ったら是非、オススメのお店です。”
“Speciality deep dish pizza. Must have. Good drinks and cocktail”
“Such a fun spot. Stopped in and had a great personal pizza and the bartender was a riot to talk with.”
“One of the best deep dish in town, perfectly cooked, nice tomato sauce!”
“Stopped in for the deep dish pepperoni pizza and I’m glad I did. The crust was thick and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the pizza had a great balance of sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and fresh veggies. Everything tasted fresh and came out piping hot. I cleaned the entire plate and didn’t even touch the ranch because the pizza honestly didn’t need it. Janelle was great too—friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was good without hovering. Really solid service and even better food. I’ll definitely be back.”
“No more words, just come and enjoy. Great service, deep dish pizza amazing and the service amazing.”
“Pizza you with with a fork idk how I feel about that...”
“Absolutely phenomenal experience at Pizzeria Uno in downtown Chicago! We came as a party of two and tried the small BBQ Chicken deep-dish — and it was unforgettable. The crust was golden and slightly buttery, the cheese perfectly melted, and that smoky BBQ flavor hit just right in every bite. You can genuinely taste why this place is the birthplace of Chicago-style pizza. The staff was friendly, the service felt well-coordinated even during the evening rush, and the restaurant’s classic Chicago vibe made the whole meal feel authentic and special. One pro tip: definitely preorder if you’re visiting during weekends or nights. The wait times can get long, and this pizza deserves to be enjoyed without the stress of waiting. Once seated, though, everything flows smoothly and is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike — this is Chicago deep dish done right!”
“This is the pizzeria where deep-dish pizza was invented. Naturally, we couldn't miss the opportunity to visit it. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the pizza was delicious and filling. We took most of it back to the hotel with us. The staff was polite and efficient. We will definitely visit it again as soon as we are in Chicago.”
“I went there a month back with my friends when i was visiting Chicago! Loved the pizza, we went for the vegetarian pizza, but it was so crunchy and flavorful! Loved the Deep Dish Style pizza that Chicago is famous for! Will definitely go there again.”
“The original location were the deep dish was created , we have a great time , service is a little slow but keep in mind is made fresh . Defensively a must stop in Chicago.”
