This Illinois Restaurant Is a Must for Deep-Dish Pizza Fans

When I travel with my family, we always try to eat local and get a feel for the city or town we're visiting. But apparently, when we visit Chicago, there's only one place we should go for the city's famous deep-dish pizza.

Cult Favorite for Deep Dish Pizza in Illinois

There’s Giordano’s, Gino’s East, and The Art of Pizza, but none of them come close to what many Illinoisans call the cult favorite for deep-dish pizza:

Lou Malnati’s.

According to Love Food, Lou Malnati’s is renowned for its deep-dish pizza. The restaurant has been family-owned since 1971 and is known for its flaky, buttery crust and signature cheese pulls. If you’re a true pizza connoisseur, you either already know about this place, or it’s a must-visit on your next trip to Chicago.
