Pizzeria Uno - Chicago, IL
Not to be confused with Uno's Pizzeria & Grill franchise, this is the original birthplace of deep dish pizza in Chicago. Opened by Ike Sewell and Italian native Ric Riccardo in 1943, Pizzeria Uno became the founding father of the famous Chicago pizza pie, and since then, Windy City residents never looked back. Rudy Malnati is said to have been present when the original recipe was created and went on to co-manage the restaurant in the 50's with his son Lou (before Lou opened his self-named pizzeria 20-some years later).
