Chicago Deep Dish Pizza
A one-man deep-dish pizza kitchen in Edgemont, making square Chicago-style pies with a thick crust - a genuinely different object from anything else on this map, and open later than almost all of it. What to order The Zeus and the Mr Universe are the two pizzas named most. The crust is the point: flaky, crisp at the edge, carrying layers of cheese, sauce and toppings that stay generous even on a small. Skip the oven spaghetti - the one consistent criticism is that it comes out very salty. Good to know Opens at 3:30pm and runs to 2:30am, and 3:30am from Friday to Sunday. There is no lunch here; it is a late-night kitchen and always has been. Allow thirty minutes. Each pizza is cooked from scratch by one person - that is the wait, and it is the reason the pizza is what it is. Ask about the two-pizza special, and about mixing it across styles; the owner has been known to agree even where it costs him. Takeout and delivery only, with free parking. Rated 4.4 from more than 450 Google reviews.
