the best places for chicago classics
Our resident “Chicagoan” shares the best places in the city to find real versions of quintessential Chicago classics.
Best Deep Dish Pizza:
Pequod’s Pizza
Regularly listed as serving some of the best pizza in Chicago, Pequod’s Pizza is home to the pan-style deep-dish pizza with a caramelized crust. Just minutes from the bustle of downtown Chicago in the Lincoln Park neighborhood, Pequod’s has been a staple in this area for more than 40 years.
Best Italian Beef:
Johnnie’s Beef
Johnnie’s Beef, a renowned brand in the heart of Elmwood Park, Illinois, is a must-visit destination for all food lovers. Specializing in hot dogs, shaved ice, and sandwiches, Johnnie’s Beef offers a plethora of delicious options for every palate. From their signature Italian beef and sausages to their famous P & E Combo (available Fridays only), every dish at Johnnie’s Beef is a flavor explosion waiting to happen.
Best Hot Dog:
Gene & Jude’s
We work almost 24 hours a day in preparation alone to provide our loyal customers with what many believe are the best hot dogs and fries in the country. We are absolutely dedicated to maintain the highest standards of quality in our food and strive to sustain the original Gene and Jude’s “experience”.
Best Polish:
Jim’s Original
Jim’s Original is the longest continuously operating hot dog stand to have once done business on Maxwell Street. Jim’s was so well-known and has so consistently served Chicagoans that we became the cornerstone of the Old Maxwell Street Market until its relocation in 1994. People still identify the Old Maxwell Street Market with the sweet smell of onions that emanated from Jim’s stand.
