The 14 Best Restaurants Near Chicago’s O’Hare Airport (ORD) | Eater Chicago

"For those who must try deep-dish pizza, there are several choices to pick from, but Lou Malnati’s remains a top choice because of its consistency and quality. While this location in Elk Grove Village is less than a 15-minute drive from the airport, you’ll need to plan a bit since it takes a while to bake the iconic thick pie. Calling ahead of ordering online is advisable; half-baked pies are the ideal travel companions to take home in the overhead bin. Don’t let local fervor fool you: Chicagoans still enjoy the pizza, they just get sick of others trying to define the city by the dish, which is a conclusion as shallow as the pizza pans are deep." - Ashok Selvam
