In 1943, on the corner of Ohio and Wabash in downtown Chicago, Uno Founders, Ike Sewell and Ric Riccardo, created the original and legendary Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza. They combined authentic Italian recipes with the finest meats, spices, vegetables and cheeses and baked them in a unique and delicious deep dish crust, creating a hearty pizza like no other. Today, Uno’s Deep Dish Pizza is still made as it was then, with dough made fresh daily, hand stretched and covered with meats, hand-cut vegetables and freshly shredded mozzarella cheese. We put that same attention to detail in all our menu items, including pasta, salads, burgers, steaks and seafood and our new Love All, Feed All™ menu – which includes our 600-calorie-or-less Uno De-Lites, as well as our Gluten-Sensitive, Carb-Conscious, Vegetarian and Vegan offerings.

I had the most amazing time at Luxbar celebrating my sisters birthday. Our server Jess was a pure gem. My sister really loves their crab cakes, unfortunately they were sold out but our server made sure the birthday girl had what she wanted by ordering it from their partner restaurant Gibsons. First class experience! I’ve never had a bad time at Luxbar. Thanks again Jess!

My kids and I love Jojo’s! The music is great, fun decor, lots of fun shakes to choose from. And I always recommend the “health nut” salad- it is full of yummy strawberries, avocado, nuts, cheese, etc. delicious.

It’s nearly impossible to find restaurants that cater to gluten free, keto, and vegetarian requirements. Burger Bar hit all three and did it so well. I only wish we had one close to us! Pros: - our server Kevin was super knowledgeable about what was gluten free on the menu - dedicated gluten free fryer for french fries! Cons: - it was pretty loud (my ma is mostly Deaf) — I am not blaming them for this, it’s more of a warning! If you want somewhere quiet for your family, this probably isn’t the place - house made chips weren’t gluten free
