I would have a tough time picking between Lou Malnati and Giordano's. I may have to go back soon and include any other possible contenders. Tough job.

Top pic is Lou Malnati.

Next two are Giordano's.

Bottom one is an English still life I saw at the Chicago Art Institute, which I found funny because it looks like a deep dish.

Pequod’s is the real winner.

I walked right by Pequod's and thought about it but there was no more room in my stomach at the moment. It's a must try next trip.

The same goes for the more current places like Asador Bastian and Obelix (couldn't get in as a single reservation).

I also really want to try Chinatown next time.

Doug Psaltis, head chef at Asador, is a generational talent.

The menu looks great, and so does the by the glass wines and sherry offerings.
