Where can I get tavern-style pizza in Chicago?
Vito & Nick's (8433 S Pulaski Rd) and Pat's Pizzeria (2679 N Lincoln Ave).
Is tavern-style the same as deep dish?
No. Tavern-style is cracker-thin and cut in squares. Deep dish is a tall pie with lots of cheese. For deep dish, we checked Lou Malnati's, Pequod's, Gino's East and the original Pizzeria Uno.

Both spots are $$ (about $15–$25 for a typical pie).
