While the Netflix series艾米丽在巴黎famously sneered at it,芝加哥式的深野披萨不是开玩笑的:高大的面包墙包含着密集的奶酪,酱汁和浇头。这是游客来的东西,当地人每年只吃一次或两次,通常在冬天的死亡中应对零下的温度。Deep Dish可能是该市最著名的品种,但这只是芝加哥披萨界的一部分。

True Chicago-style pizza is tavern-style—a thin crust pie cut into squares, not slices. This gives you three types of slice choices: a gooey, crustless square that greases your fingers; a small triangle edge that might be more dough than topping; or a floppy rectangle that droops with cheese and sauce. Whichever piece you choose, you're going to need more than one.

In 2018, Steve Dolinsky, a 13-time James Beard Award-winning food reporter, publishedPizza City, USA: 101 Reasons Why Chicago Is America's Greatest Pizza Town. For his research, he spent months eating more than 185 different pizza varieties, finding that tavern-style pizza is the preferred type among locals. However, in a city famous for its boundary-pushing restaurants, pizza is far more than an affordable, no-fuss dining option.

芝加哥披萨的演变是其作为餐厅目的地的声誉日益增长的直接结果。比萨已经从旨在增加酒吧啤酒销售的工人阶级小吃变成了高端餐厅的固定装置格兰特·阿查茨(Grant Achatz)'s Michelin-starred Next.

While pizza brings people together, the matter of naming the "best" in the city is divisive.佐丹奴的,Lou Malnati的,Uno's, 和Gino's East是最受欢迎的连锁店之一。Piece,维托和尼克,Pequod的, 和Pat's是邻里热点,大多数当地人被绑定到纳马克克。但是,在一个Google为“芝加哥比萨店”(Chicago Pizzerias)吐出超过334,000个结果的城市中,值得冒险超越明显的和芝加哥人在North Avenue的排球联赛之后或在等待Sox比赛或等待Sox比赛时或在他们想要的时候进行的。在循环中打动同事。

Exchequer

Exchequeris the rare pizza place in the Loop that is not part of a chain. Its location in the business hub of the city and its connection to Al Capone (it used to be a speakeasy he might have frequented) guarantee a steady stream of locals and tourists. For more than 50 years Exchequer has served a mix of deep-dish and thin crust pizzas. While it's not the obvious choice for pizza, it is a place where Loop workers commute in on the weekend to pick up an exceptional pie.Exchequerpub.com

Ranalli的

Ranalli的is the go-to spot for North-siders. Because it's so close to the beach, zoo, and park, the 175-person patio is almost always full, but it's worth the wait for one of their thin pizzas. The crust is always crispy, the toppings are plentiful and perfectly rationed, and you'll always find that pleasingly gritty cornmeal on the bottom. Ranalli's offers a number of specialty pizzas like the prosciutto and arugula; a spicy pie made with habanero chicken, jalapeños, and pepper jack cheese; and an Italian sausage, mushroom, green peppers, and onion combo. But in a place that's been around for more than 45 years, a classic cheese, pepperoni, or sausage pizza does the trick.ranallislIncolnPark.com

Their honey and salami pizza features mozzarella next to Berkshire sopressata, honey, and Calabrian chili—a pie that many across the city have copied. For veggie lovers, the funghi pie includes cremini and portobello mushrooms with truffle cream (and two other vegetarian and vegan options). The 'nduja is one of the most popular pizzas made with mozzarella, Berkshire sausage, 'nduja-infused whipped ricotta, Calabrian chili, and chopped basil.coalfirechicago.com
