I can't tell you why but I am Loyal to Lou Malnati's. They have that odd crust with really delicious sweet tomatos. My favorite variety is definately spinach and mushroom. Not sure how this is coin related though...
Having lived in the Chicago suburbs in the past and currently planning on moving back, I can definitely say that deep dish is the only way to go. You can look for a family-owned place that would be really good, or try Giordano's, Unos, Lou Malnati's, etc. for a reliably delicious pizza.
There are several coin shows in Chicago which range from decent to successful. Which show are you referring to?

Gino's is the best. I personally like the pepperoni supreme.
My funny story about Gino's. My wife and I when we were dating went there for dinner. I place our order for the pizza and add that we would also like the garlic cheese bread. The waitress, looked at me like I had two heads and said, "We don't have garlic cheese bread. We have Cheesy Garlic Bread if that's what you would like." And she was dead serious! She was not kidding at all!
Lou Malnatti's pizza, which you can have delivered frozen anywhere in the USA and when properly heated almost -- not quite, but almost -- tastes as good as if you were in the restaurant. However, the first place my wife and I usually go to "dine" when we infrequently return to hometown Chicago is Super Dawg, to enjoy a one-of-a-kind, custom-made hot dog available at the Super Dawg drive-in and limited dining facility on Milwaukee Avenue, just South of Devon on Chicago's Northwest side. The burgers and fries there are mighty good, too.

Everywhere else...it's just an openface grilled cheese sandwich with other stuff on it...

I went there in my youth.........63rd and California behind a bar. They had a BYOB rule and we'd go there in the winter and drink. Then they moved west down 63rd and the rest is history. I wouldn't call Giordano's the best though. Too many mom and pop places are way better than those crappy chains that forgot how to be down home. Anyone know if Talmans Pizza on 51 st and Talman is still around? Best...Pizza....EVER!

Giordano's is pretty much everywhere in the Chicagoland area.

Did your location move to Detroit?

63rd and Cal was the original one. The neighborhood is like Detroit nowadays.
I grew up in the Chicago area and if you want the traditional deep dish then you can't go wrong with either Gino's East or Malnati's.
However, if you want something special that you can't get anywhere else, head over to the Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder Company and get the famous Pizza Pot Pie!!!

Thank you! I was beginning to worry about the culinary tastes of this forum. I may live in CA now but the only two worth mention is Chicago (NGC) and NYC (PCGS). Sorry, I felt compelled to tie this thread to coins.
Deep Dish - Either Uno's or Due's downtown, same owners and 2 blocks apart. Thin Crust - Beggars or Phil's in Oak Lawn. >>
Beggars was OK when it was just the tiny place in the converted gas station at 127th and Western, but success has dimished them, IMHO. We used to go to Palermo's in Oak Lawn. How is it now? TD

We went downtown and stopped at Uno's for a deep dish pizza. (Is it still there?)
When we received it we weren't that impressed with the size, but I have to tell you, I could hardly lift it!!
Talk about heavy!! It was loaded down with all the toppings you could imagine.
After a few beers each, the four of us had a difficult time finishing it.
It was excellent though, just extremely filling.

<< <i>Jakes / Sausage and onion. >>
Yup. I'd usually rather have thin crust than the deep dish -- especially Gino's wheel o' meat.

Edit: If I had to choose between the pizza at Giordano's and the coin show, the pizza would win.

OK, so my 12 year old daughter's favorite is homemade pizza with Trader Joe's artichoke spread instead of tomato sauce, feta cheese, and onions..

But seriously, what coins show are you going to? I heard most of the coin shows suck in Chicago!

I am still so depressed that the Superior location closed. There was nothing like it. I used to go there in college all the time.
