    Deep dish
    Marisa H.

    This spot is the same at Uno's just down the street. An excellent option to come here if Unos is too busy or if you don't want to wait as it's usually a little less busy here! Love Unos Pizza who invented deep dish pizza!

    Personal-size of The Original Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza at Pizzeria Due! Served "Uno per Due" (if you like my play on words...)
    Rich S.

    Pizzeria Due is "The" original Chicago Deep Dish pizza! Ok, well, they opened first in 1943 down the block at Pizzeria Uno :-) They expanded with Due in 1955. Same difference. We stopped into this old Victorian for a weekend lunch (May 2026), and had our pizza in the style of an old Italian meal, the same dish prepared for the two of us: Uno per Due! Deep, buttery crust, luscious chunky sauce with savory lightly-spiced sausage ... with the cheese in between the crust and the sauce! Back in the day, it was my first deep-dish pizza, and it's still the one I judge them by. Uno's does ok in their franchises, but the original restaurants are the best. Nevermind exactly whoever among the original Uno"s staff actually invented this not-south Italy not-thin-NY-pizza. There's some controversy (and marketing) there. But it was the first, and the founders of both Gino's East and Lou Malnati's (supposedly) worked at Uno's before starting their own! This is Great pizza in a City of Great pizza. Get your tasty original historic deep-dish pizza here!

    (Kari's Rating 6/10) TLDR: -40ish mins for deep dish -Wouldn't come out of my way to come here -Servers attentive Came in with a friend around 5:30pm on a Thursday and there was barely a wait. We got seated in a high top by the bar and our orders were taken relatively quickly. We were given a heads up that the deep dish pizzas took about 30 to 45 minutes to make which we were more than willing to wait for. We got a cheesy garlic bread appetizer, a chocolatey milkshake for a drink, and then a small deep dish pizza to share. There were more than enough leftovers and the pizza was done really well, it seemed like a very good ratio of cheese to crust. I think overall, it was a pretty delicious meal, there wasn't anything really special about the pizza personally, we did get a sausage and pepperoni pizza and it was good, but I probably wouldn't come back just for that. Our server, Carmen was very attentive and very sweet and on top of things, she asked about our meal a few times and was very prompt with the check. I'm definitely more of a Lou's girl-but I've been meaning to try this place for a minute and I'm glad I came!

    Ordered takeout for this place. I haven't been here in many years and was in the area. Ordered the Special Salad Bowl with Italian chopped salad, giardinera, pepperoni, mozzarella chunks, tomatoes and had lot of onions. Was a nice full portion but they didn't provide the dressing so had a very dry salad. Ordered also the Windy City Works pizza with onions, peppers, mushrooms, bacon, burger meat, pepperoni, sausage, 3 cheese - mozzarella, cheddar, pecorino. The pizza was a salt bomb and almost inedible. This place has a lot of nostalgic memories for me and honestly, it should've remained a memory. I wanted to like this place as much as I did years ago but there are much better places for pizza nowadays.

    This was our first stop after checking into our hotel in Chicago, we figured we might as well start off with deep dish right off the bat and they were still open, since we got in fairly late in the evening. Our waiter was great, loved overhearing some of the other older guys work there talking in their thick Chicago accents hahaha. All the food was delicious, I tried a local beer (Begyle Boat Shoes - closest thing I could get that was local while also being lager-like), salad was great and the pizza (honestly, CAKE lol) was so good! We both only ate one slice and ate the rest later it had a very local pub feel which was great, definitely recommend!

    Thin crust sausage pizza
    Carole P.

    They're slam packed, but still smiled and greeted and seated me. I got an adult drink. (Not the heaviest pour, but that's okay) My pizza is delicious... it's the perfect thin crust, not burnt (I hate burnt crust). You can faintly taste the fresh tomatoes they used in the sauce, the individual cheeses, separate , and then together... and then the sausage kicks in. I'm not a huge fan of the sausage... I should've got just cheese I'd be back. The service was great

    Numero Uno Deep Dish (6" Individual)
    Katherine K.

    I used to work at one of UNO's locations and I was fully expecting DUE to be right on par. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to that level. Started with the Chicago Mule and Blueberry Mule. Both were very nice and well-balanced. For dinner, we got the Numero Uno and The Chicagoan. My guy has never had deep dish pizza before and he really enjoyed both pizzas, but preferred numero uno. The Chicagoan was my favorite of the two. I loved a good giardiniera! I was disappointed with how flakey the crust was. The pizza would just fall apart with every bite making it really hard to eat. Just overall average in terms of flavor. Service was great, though, so they're winning on that front. Someone was taking photos so we got ours taken. They used the worst one as the complimentary photo, but we liked the animated one they made of us. $20 was a bit much for it tho.

    We were seated right away in the very cozy basement, the deep dish does take 40 minutes for them to make but it was delicious and well worth the extra wait! Service was wonderful and the ambience was very Chicago and you could feel the history! Highly recommended!

    Not the best. Food was supposed to be served at same time and wasn't. Pizza was over cooked. Server was good.

    Spinach deep dish pizza
    Karen D.

    I wanted to really like this pizza but the lack of flavor and overall texture/crust leaves me no choice but to give it an okay rating. I ordered the deep dish specialty spinach pizza. It takes time to make a good pizza but this lacked what I consider good pizza traits. The sauce was bland. I definitely had to use the red pepper flakes to help give it some flavor. It seems like they forgot to Season/spice this sauce? The crust really doesn't hold up to the toppings. I've had other Chicago style deep dish pizza that I've enjoyed. The chianti wine I had was good. It was a Ruffino from Italy. I did take the extra two pieces with me, but I'm not sure I'll eat them.

    Another great meal. We were in town visiting family for Thanksgiving. Had to some downtown to get our fix on the best deep dish. We always park at the garage by Unos. But we did come on Black Friday and UNOs was packed. So we went to Dues and there was no wait. We got the medium for 4 adults. We got pepperoni with sausage and half mushrooms. Such a classic! Always a good time at UNOs or Dues. This was my husband's first time at Dues. We had a great time and the servers are amazing as always. Just know the bathrooms are tight for ladies in the stalls. My dad and I had Cruz Blanca Mexican lager so yummy! And we had to do another! Prefect starting spot to do some Black Friday shopping

    This review is for a corporate event. We did a pizza making class, which was pretty affordable - $55 PP for a personal pie, one beer/wine, soda, and salad. The pizza making was rather simple - all you do is stretch the dough out to cover a pan then fill it with topping. So the interactive part is probably like ... 5 minutes TBH. I wish it was a bit more interactive - maybe show how to make the dough? The pizza turned out like a solid chicago pizza. Service was friendly.

    This was my first attempt at Chicago Deep Dish and what better place to try it at than the creator's restaurant! The pizza was perfectly cooked and served at the optimal temperature. The atmosphere was very inviting and our server was extremely attentive. I would recommend many times over! Now this isn't your typical fast food pizza so it will take time for your food to be cooked but IT'S WORTH THE WAIT!!!!

    Finally finally FINALLY!!!! I got here and tried the pizza! This has been on my Chicago food bucket…read morelist ever since it opened. We ended up doing a walk-in on a Sunday night and showed up at 8 PM one hour before close. This worked out for us because we got a really good seat after only waiting for 20 minutes. Service is good and timely- the hostess was super kind and helpful. We started with some cocktails- a Negroni & a spritz (both were good & pretty strong). Then we split the Caesar salad and a pizza with half sausage/olive and mushroom/onion. Yeah, the pizza did blow me away- the crust is perfectly crunchy and so so thin. I wouldn't even describe it as traditional tavern style pizza because I think it's a really crunchy crust- but it's definitely wayyyyy better than Dimi Dimi (that's the most comparable crust imo). The sauce has a slight spice to it, and the whole pizza just feels very layered in terms of flavorful profile. The sausage was also spicy but very good and I absolutely loved the mushroom and onion duo. Sometimes when you go to a certain pizza places, it doesn't feel worth it, but all the ingredients felt elevated here and the pizza had an elevated taste. The Caesar salad had a nice light dressing and a ton of cheese. I wish that the lettuce had a bit more of a crunch to it, but they seemed to use butter lettuce. The inside feels like a classic Italian joint, but it's very small and simple Overall, so glad that I finally went and although it's not a place that I would go regularly because I live far, I would definitely come back!

I could eat a whole pie by myself I think.. its that addictive. The cheese pie is really good too and the entire pie tastes fresh with great ingredients.
