My history with Pizzeria Uno started only two years ago when Linda and I made a special trip into Chicago just to sample Pizzeria Uno’s deep dish pizza .We needed a bench mark to judge all deep dish pizzas. Our waitress at Uno’s told us the very same thing that Mark Brown wrote in his article, almost to the word that "In Chicago we know the pizza sold at Uno’s franchises around the country bears little resemblance to the product being served here at this the flagship restaurants that made Chicago style famous".
Of all the deep dish pizzas we have had throughout this country we fond none better then Chicago’s Pizzeria Uno’s

I think, in a way, you are confirming what BuddyRoadhouse and danimal are saying. They claim that the Pizzeria Uno/Due experience from ten-plus years ago is different from todays. I don’t think that either of them said that the new experience is BAD — just not as good as it once was. Since your experience only started two years ago, you have no benchmark comparison from previous years. While your Uno’s experience may have been the best that YOU have ever had, it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t better at some time previously — and that there are not better places that a local Chicagoan could find.
