In 1943, on the corner of Ohio and Wabash in downtown Chicago, Uno Founders, Ike Sewell and Ric Riccardo, created the original and legendary Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza. They combined authentic Italian recipes with the finest meats, spices, vegetables and cheeses and baked them in a unique and delicious deep dish crust, creating a hearty pizza like no other. Today, Uno’s Deep Dish Pizza is still made as it was then, with dough made fresh daily, hand stretched and covered with meats, hand-cut vegetables and freshly shredded mozzarella cheese. We put that same attention to detail in all our menu items, including pasta, salads, burgers, steaks and seafood and our new Love All, Feed All™ menu – which includes our 600-calorie-or-less Uno De-Lites, as well as our Gluten-Sensitive, Carb-Conscious, Vegetarian and Vegan offerings. So come by and let us help you create memories with your family and friends at Uno.

    My husband and I came here as part of our wedding anniversary trip and they were all so sweet. We had a reservation (definitely recommend) and unfortunately we had to wait a little bit after our reservation time. But they were very attentive to us & even gave us a free appetizer & dessert. The food & drinks were absolutely delicious. I could not recommend the food enough!!! They were so kind & so generous!!

    Great experience and service. Went for my daughter’s 13th party with her 12 friends. The server was excellent and quality and taste of the food was delicious! We had tavern style pizza, caesar salads, bread sticks, and ended with a skillet cookie which was devoured!

    If I could do 4.5 stars I would. We had 6:00 reservations, arrived at 5:59 and were told we had to wait but then just 2’people later they came in with a 6:00 reservation and were seated right away. We weren’t in a rush so it wasn’t a big deal. We knew deep dish pizza takes awhile to cook, so we got the mozzarella sticks. The food was good, the service was good, the drinks were good so overall I’m still giving 5 stars.
