"Eating an entire deep dish pizza (even with hungry friends) can be quite the undertaking, so luckily there’s Art of Pizza, which offers some very good deep dish by the slice. Yes, there’s thin crust and pan-style, but the best is their stuffed pizza—it’s the same as Lou Malnati’s, but with way more cheese and an extra layer of dough. The South Loop location is counter-service, BYOB, and has a few tables for small groups that get tired of waiting in line at the Lou’s down the street. But this is an especially good option when you just want to eat your Art’s Special slice in solitude while everyone else spends the afternoon at the aquarium." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
