Maybe it was because the Uno's in Chicago do not put much salt in their crusts, but I found the Uno's chain's crusts to be a lot more flavorful. Flavor-wise, it was much more "basic" - in a pH sort of way, than the Uno's chains. Keeping in mind that I grew up with the Uno's in Boston, I found both the flavor and texture of Chicago's deep dish crust to be quite different. The ceilings were much lower than what an Uno's chain would look (somewhat cave-link) and ceilings were adorned with decorative tiles.īut I guess what y'all are wondering is whether there is a difference in taste is between a deep dish in Chicago's Uno's and Uno's around the country? The answer is, yes there is, but it's all in the crust. Inside though was different - I mean, sort of similar, but much more old school. The outside of the restaurant was made of brick with a huge "Pizzeria Uno" sign in red and green neon lights (well, red neon lights with a green backdrop).pretty much what I thought it would look like.

That however did not stop the pizzas in all the other Uno's restaurants around the country from getting its makeover.Īnd so we head to present day, or rather a week ago, when I found myself asking my Uber driver to head over to 29 East Ohio Street, the home of the original Pizzeria Uno (properly titled "first pizza restaurant"). Anyhow, Sewell ended up franchising the name in 1978 in Boston - hence Uno's headquarters being based in Boston, Massachusetts (my hometown).Īfter Sewell died in 1990, his family sold the original Uno's properties to the Uno Restaurant Holdings Corporation and Aaron Spencer, the CEO at that time, promised not to tamper with the pizzas at the original locations in Chicago. Pizzeria Uno claims to have created the deep dish, but there's some controversy there. So history goes that the first Uno's was founded by Ike Sewell and Ric Riccardo in Chicago, Illinois. Why would I EVER eat them here in Chicago?" Turns out the pizza from Pizzeria Uno Chicago is quite different from the Uno's Pizzeria in Boston. I've eaten (and loved) their pizza since youth. I tried it from a famous chain called Lou Malnati's first, but then one of my friends recommended Uno's. I recently visited Chicago and had my first real bite of a true, Chicago deep dish pizza.
