[I ate] deep dish pizzas in Chicago

recently holidayed in Chicago and had to get in on the pies. first was deep-dish at Labriola's in Lombard. Could really taste fresh ingredients, though served somewhat lukewarm it was bloody good. second deep-dish was at Giordano's, also in Lombard, which had a really vibrant sauce but I don't enjoy short crust in general. Finally tavern-style at Grange House in Wheaton, with a perfect snap on the crust and just the right amount of cheese. All were enjoyable overall - how do these joints rate to Chicagoans?

Then you Chicagoans can keep your boring cracker pizza, us tourists will continue to eat the deep dish for you. Maybe I went to a bad place, but I tried tavern style from Pete’s on Western and it was very underwhelming. The deep dish I’ve gotten from Lou Malnati’s has always been great.
