Deep Dish Pizza

So what's the best pizza place in town?
One of my coworkers told me Gino’s East is excellent and I should definitely try it.

He said Giordano’s is supposed to be very good as well, but he hasn't been there.

Giordano's FTW! IMO Gino's East is very good too, but I think Giordano's takes the cake!

Hmm, maybe I'll try both!
My coworker says you will be full after eating just 2 slices and that it's impossible to finish a whole pizza by yourself.

Not impossible...just ridiculously difficult to do so.

There is a Giordano's about 3 miles south from the hotel. There is a Gino's East about 5-6 miles northeast from the hotel.

The cornbread crust of Gino's is a little different. Giordano's is pretty good.

My vote goes for pizza (either place) on Friday night. Outback has locations everywhere but you can only get Chicago style pizza in Chicago.

What is the current plan for Friday night?
Also, what is the consensus for Sat night? Everyone going out or people splitting up?

I think friday night pizza would probably work better like Blues said. Xander and a few locals are getting together this weekend to finalize things. i think we might have to split a few groups going out to bars/clubs and such.

If we are going to roll down to 18th St, then we could do Pizza Due, but I don't really think that place is all that great.

There's a Giordano's down in River North...
