A question about this place:
I'm going to chicago the 1st weekend in December to visit some old friends. We love getting lifted, eating good food, and having fun. Any suggestions on places I have to eat while in Chicago for a weekend?

Giordano’s. Simply the best pizza on the face of this planet. There are 3 or 4 locations, but I like the one in Prudential Plaza.

Makes me want to take a road trip just thinking about it.

One correction: Giordano’s isn’t the best pizza on the face of the planet. Chicago-style is. Any place in the city that serves stuffed pizza is worth eating at. Giordano’s is very good. Uno’s/Due’s are my favorite because I like the location and atmosphere as well. Gino’s East, Lou Malnati’s, or any small, locally-owned pizzeria that serves Chicago-style will make you very, very happy.

I second Giordano’s! Lou Malnati’s is just as good, I think.
