Chicago-style "deep-dish" pizza is one of the city's tantalizing treats that shouldn't be missed! Pizzeria Uno introduced the first "deep-dish" pizza pie in 1943 and Chicago has been dishing it out ever since. This basic deep dish of gooey goodness combines a buttery crust, cheese, a zesty chunky tomato sauce. Stop at one of Chicago's world famous deep-dish pizza joints, including: The Original Gino's East, Giordano's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria, Pizano's Pizza and Pasta and Pizzeria Ora.
Some food experiences just scream, "Chicago." When the sky is the limit, a trip to the John Hancock Center's The Signature Room at the 95th is where you should head, especially after a long day shopping as it is located in the heart of Chicago's Magnificent Mile. This Contemporary American restaurant provides visitors with sweeping views of the city, art-deco interior design, live jazz music on the weekends and a wine selection of dizzying proportions.
When looking for a bargain meal, consider a Chicago-style hot dog. The origin of the Chicago-style dog is a matter of debate, but it was served at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. A Vienna Beef hot dog is a true city tradition and should be boiled, steamed or grilled and topped with mustard, onion, sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato, peppers, and celery salt, NEVER ketchup.
