Chicago's pizza argument runs deeper than deep dish, taking in the buttery-crust pan pie and the cracker-thin tavern cut. Lou Malnati's, here in Lincoln Park, and Pizzeria Uno in River North carry the deep-dish lineage, while Pequod's Pizza is known for its caramelized cheese edge. On the South Side, Vito & Nick's Pizzeria in Ashburn is the city's standard-bearer for the tavern-cut thin style.
