Allan and I have eaten at both Pizzeria Due and Pizzeria Uno for 40 years. It used to be our favorite pizza in a long list of great pizza establishments in Chicago. On Thursday, August 9, 2007, we walked to Wabash and Ontario to eat at Pizzeria Due. It was such a disappointment. Of of all, you go inside and place your order. The pizza takes 45 minutes so you have to pre-order. It's always jam-packed; thus, there is a long wait. We sat outside on a bench and watched the people and cars. We were called about 35 minutes later and taken into the room with the large bar. We were seated at one of those uncomfortable high round tables. This one was especially small and wobbly. We ordered drinks and a house salad to split. The salad came in one dish so we had to eat out of one dish. The salad was not fresh. I just ate a few bites. Allan was hungry so he finished it off but agreed that it was less than mediocre. Once our pizza came, [we ordered a medium pepperoni deep dish], I was famished. Because the table was so wobbly, every time either of us cut the pizza, it seemed as though everything would fall off the table. The pizza was good but not good enough to have to go through that ordeal again.
Pizzeria Due serves appetizers such as soup, garlic bread, veggie dip, and buffalo wings. They offer salads such as Caesar and Spinach as well as house salad. They offer only two kinds of pasta: Pomodoro [Penne with meatless marinara sauce] and Spaghetti [with meatballs]. Sandwiches consist of Italian Beef, Meatball, Italian Beef and Sausage Combo. They do offer Desserts such as spumoni ice cream, Chicago cheesecake, a brownie bowl, an Uno Deep Dish Sundae, and Mega-sized Deep Dish Sundaes.. I cannot believe I've never tried one of their desserts, but after pizza, I'm too full to try one.

| | | | Pizzeria Uno/Pizzeria Due: It's All in The Sauce at.... | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
After our successful trip to the Museum of Science and Industry, Allan and I took the #10 CTA Bus downtown. We walked to Pizzeria Due because Allan has been wanting a deep dish pizza from there for months now. Note: you always have to wait when you eat here, so be prepared. We put in our order [you have to put in your pizza order before they put your name on the waiting list]. Then we took a walk around the block to admire the architecture. Afterward, we sat on a bench in front of the restaurant and admired the near-perfect Chicago night. People watching is also always fun. Lots of tourist come to Pizzeria Uno/Due so it's an assortment of all kinds of people, foreign and native-born. After about 45 minutes, we were called, and ate outside on the raised patio. There was lots of excitement with three fire trucks and four rescue squards less than a block away, and then five different TV station trucks arrived. Evidently, there was some kind of "incident"; we never discovered what it was exactly. Most annoying was the wait for our pizza. Mind you, we had already waited for 45 minutes to be seated [and remember, we put our pizza order in then!] After another 1/2 hour, our pizza was served.
Before the pizza came, Allan and I shared a salad, which was average. It was made up of lettuce and tomatoes with wine vinegarette dressing. Allan consumed most of it. Our pizza was a medium deep dish with onions and mushrooms and extra tomato sauce. I love the sauce because it is made with chunky tomatoes and is delicious. I was able to eat only one piece because it is so filling. Allan had two pieces, and we took the rest home. If it were not for all the waiting, this would be an ideal place to experience delicious Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. If you are in a hurry, just forget it.

| | | | Pizzeria Uno/Pizzeria Due: World's Best Pizza!! | Tip Rating:  | | | | |
Pizzeria Due is Chicago pizza at its best--deep dish, of course. This beats Giordano's, Nancy's, and every other pizzeria in the city. This store is right downtown is the original store, but it's branched out across the country now. Still, there's no place like home for the authentic material! Due's bigger sister Pizzeria Uno is next door, and it's the exact same menu, but not as fun, in my opinion. Casual but not boring, with a very 'Chicago' feel to the decor. Although the restuarant is called a 'Bar and Grill,' it's family-friendly--although liquor is served, the bar is separate from the restaurant and attracts the more serious drinkers. But be ready for a wait on most nights--they don't take reservations!
The deep dish pizza with spinach and mushrooms is my favorite! Leave a Comment Theme: PizzaPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: Corner of Wabash and Ohio (29 East Ohio)Other Contact: http://www.pizzeriauno.com
