This is sad because you were mere minutes away from the Lou Malnati's at Roselle and Schaumburg, which, IMHO, ranks right up there with Chicago's best, when eaten fresh (as opposed to mail-order).

But those in the know would have sent you into the city for something legendary.

Someone will probably correct me, but I think there was an original Uno that was pretty good, but the nationwide chain isn't the same thing.

Now if you'd just traveled a little further to Wolf and Dundee, you would have found GREAT pizza at Joe's!!  It's definitely NOT deep dish, but is IMHO the best pizza and best deal in the Chicago suburban area.

Of course, if the "cracker" crust turned you off at Uno's, you probably wouldn't like the wonderful thin cracker crust at Joe's.....to each his own....

Now about that Bears comment................  ;0

Kathie (who thinks Uno's here in San Diego is NOTHING like Uno's in downtown Chicago!!!!)
