Yeah, I tried the one in Lewisville, it was good.

I recommend you get better taste in pizza. That's a casserole.

Rotolo's which has moved their previous Frisco location to here: https://rotolos.com/locations/carrollton-3204-e-hebron-pkwy/

No no and no.

I was told their pizza was like south side Chicago tavern style e.g. Pags or Beggars. IMO, Not even close.

I worked and lived on the South Side for seven years and routinely ordered in Pags/Beggars, or whatever the local place had.

Rotolos is not bad pizza, but something is “off”.

I will say however, the beer list is fantastic.

Giordano's can be delivered froze . I've had it many times. Expensive, but worth it.

[-]

rhyses_@reddit

It closed. Really sucks because they were good

[-]

benman5745@reddit

Same. Always cooked perfectly with a good sauce to meat ratio

[-]

SomethingHasGotToGiv@reddit

Gino’s actually built a location at 35/NW Hwy a few years ago. Too bad it didn’t last long. People didn’t know what they were missing out on.

For tavern crust, go to DL Macks. As a former Chicagoan and bit of a pizza snob it is far and away my favorite pizza in the metro.

[-]

smendyke@reddit

Louie’s has better tavern style than DL Mack’s IMO

[-]

Best Chicago style pizza you’ll find in town is at a little hole in the wall called Chicago Pizza & Pasta off MacArthur in Irving. You have to call ahead 30 minutes before unless you’re willing to wait for your pie. Not much in terms of scenery, but friggin delicious and open super late.

Place sucks

[-]

BJazz710@reddit (OP)

Couldn’t care less about scenery. I’m looking for flavor baby. Tavern style? Deep dish? Both?

[-]

probablyalfie@reddit

Never seen tavern style there. They’ve got what other places would call a deep-dish and they’ve got the full-on Chicago-style sauce-on-top pie.

[-]

kingstante@reddit

Real Chicago style (tavern) or fake Chicago style (deep dish)?

[-]

xAimForTheBushes@reddit

Hot take….tavern style is just basic thin crust pizza and is served many places not unique to Chicago.

Deep dish is really the truly unique Chicago classic.

(But btw, having said that….thin crust/tavern pizza absolutely destroys NY style pizza, which is so freaking overrated).

Cansum1helpme@reddit

No need for the downvotes , it’s a legit question

[-]

kingstante@reddit

Yeah idk what’s up with these people

[-]

BJazz710@reddit (OP)

Both

[-]

gooseisland410@reddit

Louie’s on Henderson

[-]

greelraker@reddit

Gatti’s in Allen was good. But Rosati’s is top notch.

Lou Malnati’s (sp?) also delivers frozen pizzas, if you are willing to pay a bit. They are just as good as the real deal.

[-]

BabyBearMan@reddit

Ordering Lou's is the way. Wife and I usually order a half dozen a couple times a year. They cook up fantastic. We have a couple on stand by for the Monday night Bears game.

[-]

MagicWishMonkey@reddit

da bears da bears da bears....

[-]

Cansum1helpme@reddit

So we have two styles: deep dish like Gino’s / Malnatis, or tavern style like Pags/Beggars (south side) .

[-]

BJazz710@reddit (OP)

Yeah I didn’t clarify unfortunately. I MEANT deep dish but honestly recommendations for both are great. Someone suggested deep dish is “fake” Chicago style and thin is “real” style? How do you feel about that?

[-]

Cansum1helpme@reddit

Both are good. Tavern style: Pags or Beggars. Deep dish, Gino’s, Nancy’s , Malnatis or Rosatis.

[-]

Southside_Burd@reddit

I love me a good tavern styke.

[-]

ForzaFenix@reddit

Both are real. Depends on what you're in the mood for.

[-]

Cansum1helpme@reddit

For real

[-]

this_aint_no_hobby@reddit

DL Mack's has a chicago vibe and does tavern style

[-]

Ok_Weight2463@reddit

Motor city pizza in Lewisville

[-]

BJazz710@reddit (OP)

Motor City? Wouldn’t that be deep dish?

[-]

RepulsiveInterview44@reddit

Yes, Motor City is Detroit style. Still delicious, just not Chicago style.

[-]

BJazz710@reddit (OP)

I love Detroit style. But somehow I’ve never had Chicago style 😳

[-]

RepulsiveInterview44@reddit

Oh man, you are missing out. Chicago style is amazing!

[-]

BJazz710@reddit (OP)

So where should I go then?

[-]

texan01@reddit

5th street n Allen is pretty decent.

[-]

Gonzalla@reddit

5th Street Pizza in Allen. They specialize in St. Louis style pizza, but I think they do Chicago style as well

[-]

happyklam@reddit

Chicago Ave in Frisco on Eldorado is decent

[-]

Cansum1helpme@reddit

Couple Rosatis in the area. Haven’t been to any of them, but would be curious to see how authentic they are.

[-]

greelraker@reddit

Rosatis was one of my top 3 when I lived in Illinois. I would get it weekly. The ones here are the same/just as good. I have ordered it several times for my in laws and they also love it.

[-]

Cansum1helpme@reddit

Oh man I miss Gino’s, Malnatis and Uno.

There is a Gino’s off 35/Nw highway but evidently it went out of business 😕
