Original Pizzeria Uno, Chicago IL - November 25

Rating - 9.999

Even the night before Thanksgiving they had a big crowd in at dinner time. We arrived a bit later than we wanted to (but really enjoyed a drink at the Palmer House) and were told the wait was 45 minutes for a party of 5. We headed into to check on the bar and there were 2 seats available. I put the little guy in one, but the bartender told us kids could not sit at the bar alone. So I sat and put him on my lap. Joel M was an awesome bar tender and was always quick to fill a drink or keep the kids happy. We ordered the cheese stix and little guys were happy.

1 kids soda 1.19

Then the main event began, and we only waited about 1/2 hour. We were seated at our favorite round table in the back (the little guy is held hostage by the wall) and waited another 20 minutes or so for our pie.

It was breath taking to see it arrive and get a piece on the plate. The best pizza in the world!!! We ate all of it except for one piece that we took back to the room (for Aunt Tracy). John D provided decent service to us and all were happy.
