Best Chicago style pizza in Phoenix area?

[Vancouver]

Hi. Will be visiting Phoenix and am craving something we don't get in Vancouver. I know this sounds like a strange request for the home of Southwest cuisine. But do you know of any wonderful Chicago stuffed pizza in the Phoenix area?

Thanks from up North!

The best idea is to order from Chicago directly, here is a link to order from Gino's East and Eduardo's of Chicago. The pizza is delivered next day air, I am not sure if they deliver to Canada.

I am originally from Chicago and I can not say there is anything comparable to the real thing.

It would be nice if they did. But unfortunately they would probably spoil in customs.

Alas no Chicago pizza on this trip I suppose....

Thanks, anyway!

Cheers!

Hey, Vancouver, I have a suggestion that I hope is not off-base for you. Have you tried Pizzeria Uno? it is a franchise but we have enjoyed their "Chicago-style" pizza. We think it is pretty good for a franchise and we were happy to see it come around to our area in NY.

There is an Uno Chicago Grill at:

455 N. 3rd St. #L154,

Phoenix, Az. 85004.

Tel. no: 602-253-3355.

It may be worth a try if you do not have one of these in Vancouver and there is nothing that is more authentic in Phoenix. I have personally found the quality of pizzas to be very good. I love the thick crust individual pizza with tomatoes (original Italian), sausage and anchovies. Some of the other dishes are also good, like the Mandarin orange chicken salad.

Thank you for that suggestion. I may have to try checking it out. I've stumbled onto one other and was curious if anyone had tried it?

Vancouver,

There are a couple of Nello's locations, call and ask where Eric is working and he can make a "Chicago style" tomato sauce to go on the pizza. He usually is in old Scottsdale or on Shea. I would go to Nello's over the other suggestion.
