Went to Pizza Rock in Vegas twice last week. The one just off Fremont St. in the downtown area, near the Golden Nugget. Phenomenal.

Lou Malnatis is deep dish, but fantastic. Plenty of them throughout the burbs. It's okay to be a tourist. The thin-cut square ones are solid too and are also available there. <why not both gif>

I grew up on the Canadian prairie so it proved highly educational for me!
I’ve enjoyed a great slice at @Pippa game but not sure where it came from - La Ruota maybe? I think La Ruota. That’ll be my (uneducated) vote for Vancouver area pizza!

Nice bump. I've been figuring things out and have my ingredients and recipe down pat at this point. I usually elect to buy dough from the supermarket that's trucked in from a place in New York that makes really good dough rather than make my own as time nowadays is hard to come by. Some recent pies...
Keep us posted on what you try.
+1 to Vito & Nicks. Great thing crust in Chicago.

South shore bar pizza has a nice little niche carved out for themselves.
Best in Chicago is Lou Malnati's Classic with the butter crust. That's as Chicago as you get. But if you prefer Chicago thin crust (I'm in that same group, @BPTDirector!) there's a bunch of solid options depending on where you are. Kim's Uncle is great on the south side. Barnaby's is controversial but I think it's solid if you're up north. Or Burt's pizza if you like the burnt cheese crust kinda thing. In Morton Grove, right in my neighborhood.
What are you cooking those in? They look great!

Electric oven on the convection bake setting at 500F. Baked for 10 minutes on a 1/4 thick baking steel, rotating the pizza 1/4 of the way every 2-3 minutes.
Weather looks pretty crappy around Chicago. Hopefully my tires can handle the weather and we can find a decent place.
Nice, this is my style of pizza... Are you using any dusting of cornstarch for the (underside) of the crust?

No need. I use a round 9 inch cake pan and pour a handful of bread flour into it and spread it out so the bottom is coated with flour, and put my dough ball in there and stretch it out to the size of the cake pan, flip it to assure both sides of the dough have a light dusting, before transferring it to a flour dusted countertop to further stretch and shape the dough.
I've used cornmeal on the peel at times to assure that the pizza launches well into the oven, but the difference between that and flour is negligible in terms of effectiveness.
Depending on your route. Fox’s is right off I-80 in the southwest suburbs in the town of Mokena.
Pizza in Greece has progressed from inedible to very nice and very close to the original Italian, over the last few decades. That includes Pinsa, nowadays.
I remember as a child, back in the 70s, an advertising banner (apparently of a Greek restaurant owner who had come back from Canada, where he had worked as an immigrant):
OUR PIZZAS ARE CANADIAN
It sounded more like a threat

Here’s where we ended up…
Just ordered. We were going to try Lou Malnatis, but Waze was taking us all over. My son really wanted to try this, so he’s a happy camper
Delicious

It probably was
Solid choice for deep dish. I prefer them to Lou’s.
If you really want to try a unique pizza staple in Chicago, my favorite of all time…
Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder. 2121 North Clark.
Cash only. Small little place so make reservations or go for lunch. Major historical landmark, too, if you are into mob history.
I’m a fan of Pequod’s, Geno’s East, and many others in Chicago. You almost need to search for a bad one. Giordano’s is my youngest son’s favorite on the deep dish.
Maybe this was already addressed, and the idea is probably anathema to those posting... But has anyone found a halfway decent brand of frozen pizza? I would like to have something I could keep in the freezer for emergencies...
Lotzza Motzza is a pretty good frozen pizza.
Yo teach, did you used to play in Branko’s Sunday tournament?
