He'll get cranky if he takes your advice. Regina's pizza is very good, but it is nothing like Chicago-style. That just isn't made here except by chains like Uno's. IMO, the visiting Chicagoans would do better to load up on something that they can get excellent examples of locally, rather than try for an indifferent chain-restaurant version of something that they can get at home. If they like pasta, I'll recommend Pagliuca's on Parmenter Street in the North End. Get the fresh fusilli with whatever sauce appeals -- you won't be disappointed. You WILL be disappointed if you go to Uno's just because you HAVE to have "Chicago-style pizza".
