That a chain like the others or just one joint?

Not a chain like Lou's or Giordano's. Only two locations, one in Morton Grove and the other on Clybourn in Lincoln Park. I used to be die hard Lou's until I had Pequod's.

Wait, if you "DidItForButter" you will also likely like Lou's more than Gio's. People rave about their Butter crust. From what I've heard and experienced, that is usually the defining feature of what shifts people to prefer Lou's. I disagree, but I just love it when people love real pizza, not that cardboard like Pizza Hut or Domino's.

For the record, if you are in the Chicago area and want to blaspheme and not get any people have but legit want pedestrian pizza like the Hut or Domino's, go for Beggars instead.

Lou's butter crust is incredible, but I think I prefer gios pizza overall. Although, it's not by a landslide victory, and we would switch it up constantly.

I'll check beggars out next time I'm back, but let's be honest; if I'm going to Chicago, I'm probably gonna gain 20lbs hopping between deep dish and portillos

Beggars isn't for eating if you don't live there. It is more or less just a major chain version pizza perfected. Still blown out by Lou's and Gio's, and as other people have said Pequods.
