Try Barry's Spot, on Broadway at Ardmore or thereabouts (about 5700 N), for terrific stuffed pizza--Chicago's best, IMO.  The thin crust is less marvelous, but doable.  And they have dollar pitchers of Old Style.

My family took me to Ginos East for my 14th birthday many years ago (well, over a decade). I loathed it, it was the worst deep dish from a "reputable" place I had ever had.

Never been back.

Everybody has a favorite. For me, it's Lou Malnati's. I love that crust.
