for spinach deep-dish I swear by Bacino's. my wife got me a heart-shaped pizza there for Valentine's Day, and it was the best damned pizza I've had in years.

Baccino's calzone is amazing

Hey, to a guy, pizza is like sex. Even when it's bad it's good.

Visit a CiCi's and let me know if you still believe that.

Still, even the flagships aren't near #1 among the major Chicago pizza institutions in town, IMO anyway. I would put them one step above Giordano's.

You aren't talking about the one located on Ohio St, are you? Because that one sucks too. I guess I'm not a fan of Uno's.

I ate some Pizza Hut pizza a few weeks ago and it was horrible. And all sex isn't good either. Maybe if you are really young and it's still new.

I went there last week and got a few slices - tasty, but not extraordinary. And way too bready for my taste as far as the crust.
Well yes they used to be good. But then they got a lot of press and screwed it up. The pizza is 85% bread now. People will always come from the suburbs to eat it.
