Where can you find the best deep dish pizza in Chicago?

Pequots has a legendary pizza that most people really love. The edges of the crust have caramelized cheese on them, and people love that stuff. I like the spinach and garlic blend, though I'm also partial to their thin crust cheese.
Lou Malnati's
Gino's East
Giordano's
Chicago's Pizza (they deliver!)
I've lived in Chicago my whole life and must say that you are not missing out as long as you go to any of these and order a "Stuffed," "Famous Stuffed," or "Chicago Stuffed" pizza. That's what gives Chicago pizza its fame. At some restaurants, ordering a "Deep Dish" is completely different than ordering a "Famous Stuffed" pizza. It's not just the crust that's stuffed; it's the entire pizza! I recommend sausage and green peppers, or if you're a vegetarian, sliced tomato and spinach makes for a delicious Chicago treat :)
This is a loaded question for any Chicagoan! Personally, my favorite is Lou Malnati's. But everyone will give a different answer.
I love Giordano's! Their Deep dish is amazing. http://giordanos.com/our-locations/
Lou Malnati's is good, I am just not as into their sweet sauce with the tomato chunks.
Pequods has an outstanding deep dish pie, but be warned they Caramelize the crust which may not be for everyone. If you want to grab a quick deep dish slice check out Art of Pizza on Ashland. If you want a Chicago purist deep dish stick to Lou Malnati's.
This is a simple question!! If you have lived in the Chicagoland area your entire life you know to go to Lou Malnati's. Best Deep dish pizza in Chicago and the suburbs.
I'm going to have to agree that for Chicago-style deep dish pizza, Lou Malnati's is the way to go. They have tons of locations and the pizza is the best in its class...very fresh. They're also pretty accommodating, so for instance if you'd rather have crumbled sausage rather than the "wheel o' sausage" just let them know. It's a very casual place, so it's good for families, and they won't give you a hard time about splitting checks or anything like that. And I'm not just saying all this because my name is Lou ;
