| - If you've followed my Vegas posts, you know our restaurant choices were all over the place. Guy Fieri's and Hash House at the Linq, Mexican breakfast at Chayo, In-n-out burger. So what type of food were we missing!? CHICAGO DEEP DISH OF COURSE!
To explain, my boyfriend has only had mail delivery Lou Malnati's as far as deep dish goes and he had a hankering for it in Vegas. With seemingly no other sit down pizza places within walking distance of our hotel on the Strip, I decided to stop being a snot who only eats deep dish in Chicago and went for Giordanos. To my delight, it tasted much like it does in Chicago.
The restaurant itself was pretty cool. It was on this mini strip off the strip, with a bar area in a glass enclosure. We took a seat at the bar, ordered a cold local beer and waited the 45 minutes (it just takes that long to cook) for our deep dish pizza. For an appetizer we decided to get the fried calamari and peppers and it was salty, crispy, and very tasty. For our pizza we went for their version of meat lovers with of course, a side of Giardinera pickled vegetables, and ate until we couldn't eat anymore.
Is anything more satisfying than being pizza drunk?
As if the night couldn't get any better, we were able to walk across the street right as the Fountains at the Bellagio were dancing with some sweet jams to complete our evening.
Gotta love Vegas.
