It may seem difficult to comprehend, but when Chicago deep-dish pizza was first created in 1943,
Americans only munched on pizza for a snack. Now known as the “pizza capital of the world,” that thick

Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria
Creations like “The Lou” with fresh spinach, mushrooms and sliced tomatoes and “The Malnati
Chicago Classic,” with its tasty sauce and famous butter crust, has concierges’ mouths watering.
Giordano’s
Concierges recommend this world-famous stuffed pizza that has roots all the way in Torino, Italy. For
decades, Efren and Joseph Boglio have been replicating Mama Giordano’s deep-dish, doublecrusted, ricotta-filled pizza. Or, for something a bit out of the ordinary, give the “Stuffed Shrimp” or
“Tropic Delight” a try.

original downtown location.
